Is it possible to reflash an unlocked OS onto my currently carrier locked phone?

Would doing this remove all the carrier restrictions such as the garbage apps installed by them, and prevent them from coming back in the future?
You could easily just use Adb app control to disable what you don't want. But yes flashing unlocked firmware will result in no carrier bloat

I have already used adb to remove bloat, but new apps are still somehow popping up, and I don't want old ones to come back after an update.
Where can I learn how to flash unlock firmware? Particularly on an s23U
From my thread. Just download unlocked firmware, extract it. You will have files BL..AP..CP..CSC..HONE_CSC. Download patched Odin to computer. On device activate developer options enable usb debugging. Put device in download mode. Open Odin on computer connect device. Odin will see device , it will show green top left if Odin. Pur BL file in BL spot..AP file in Ap spot. CP file in CP spot..Csc in Csc spot..click start.

I heard that you can no longer unlock samsung US carrier phones
You are talking about something totally different. Unlocked firmware is not bootloader unlocking or sim unlocking. All unlocked firmware means is its not carrier branded. You asked about unlocked firmware, not bootloader unlock

Most of us already know how to flash firmware with Odin. Here, anyone can post available firmware for everyone to use as well as general discussion. U firmware can be flashed on a U1 device and U1 firmware can be flashed on a U device using Odin...
forum.xda-developers.com
The difference is you need a token from Samsung to unlock the bootloader. Sim unlock is usually done after device is paid off and code is given by carrier. Your just talking about firmware. Firmware doesn't unlock the bootloader or sim unlock. If you want firmware without carrier bloat you are just wanting U1 firmware instead of U firmware. I don't know why so many people buy carrier locked devices then want unlocked firmware. Just buy unlocked device.

In some cases, domestic riding is limited to only devices sold by the carrier. As an example, I have T-Mobile USA. If I need to to on to US Cellular, I must have a device that was sold to me by T-Mobile or domestic roaming for US Cellular will not work. The issue specifically is with US Cellular not allowing the device to roam on to their network.

Is adb app control different from using adb to delete packages?
Adb app control is 1 click. You don't have to type in anything. It shows what's installed on device, you check box next to the app to disable or delete. Has restore function also

Just got an E10a off eBay and PC Companion would only update it to 2.0.1.A.0.47. I think I need 2.1.1 and a specific baseband to flash CM, but I can't use a E10i 2.1.1 FTF or I will lose the 3G connection.
I just wanted to verify, from my reading here, that if I wanted to flash miniCM10 I should flash chavito's E10a rom with the appropriate baseband (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294579) then unlock the bootloader and flash after that?

Yes, and make sure your phone isn't locked to a provider, the bootloader unlock may disable the entire radiochip (2G/3G). You can unlock the bootloader, boot into the ROM and see if you get signal, if you don't you have to lock the bootloader again.
(If you play with flashtool, DELETE the10blrelock.ftf from the flashtool/firmware folder, it will hardbrick your phone if flashed accidentally)
Thanks for the quick reply! Carrier unlocking is the other question I have. I've tried a couple of places to get the IMEI-based unlock code, but none of them can find it. So I'm thinking of getting a USB unlock from this place:
https://www.fastgsm.com/en/sonyericsson/xperia-x10-mini-e10i/unlock-network/flashing-debrand
It says that it will carrier unlock AND unlock the bootloader as well. So I should use that unlock service after I flash chavito's ROM but before I flash miniCM10?

I don't know if your phone is locked to a provider, or which one if it is. The site you refer to says it can only do it for a limited number of countries and providers, but it don't list which ones up front, so be careful with that. If sim-cards from different providers work on your phone, just skip that and unlock the bootloader using flashtool. But yes, you should first flash that latest firmware before you unlock the bootloader.
I was wondering if the S6 on Vodafone in the UK came with a locked bootloader, and if so how difficult was it to unlock? I have an S7 Edge on pre-order, and presume that would come locked too if the S6 did. I can't live without root. Cheers.
No one has an S6 Edge on Vodafone?

Seems so, as I have had the same problem by installing MM 6.0.1 firmware with the UK csc code VOD (appearing as BTU on phone). The bootloader wouldn't let me flash TWRP through ODIN (sorry, could flash, but not boot into TWRP, stuck on bootloader).
So i took the provided MM 6.0.1. bootloader from Carotix CarHDRom, flashed it together with at the same place provided TWRP for
MM (the old 2.8.7.0/2.8.7.1 or even new TWRP 3.0 provided on the homepage of TWRP.me , won't work on MM) throught ODIN.
Within TWRP flashed hybridmax's S5E-AELKernel_MM...kernel 1.5 and superSU beta 2.67 (previosly stored/copied to the mobile device) and rebooted - rooted and all working fine.

My understanding of a locked bootloader is that you can't flash anything that isn't official, including a replacement bootloader, which you indicate you did successfully. Otherwise Verizon Samsung customers would simply flash a new bootloader over their locked one. Ever TWRP wouldn't have flashed, it would have kicked out an error in Odin as you made the attempt because the bootloader wouldn't have allowed it. It sounds like your attempt at flashing it finished successfully, but just wouldn't boot into it. I'm wondering if this was caused by something other than the bootloader being locked.

All possible. However, sometimes we'll just have to give it a try, by using the information and software available. I do have to mention, that my mobile is/was provider-free (not locked to a specific provider). But even a locked mobile can be handeld to get
in free and unlocked. In such case, this should be done first and after that the upgrade to rooted MM and ROM, etc.
No worries, cheers for the reply. I'll wait until I receive it then simply return it and cancel the contract if it's locked.

I've not received my phone yet, but this doesn't look good. Were you able to disable the reactivation lock on your S6? Or, alternatively, like coco722, were you able to simply overwrite the bootloader? I'm not concerned with Knox or Vodafone's warranty, as long as I'm able to overcome the locked bootloader and root.

Haven't gotten the G8X, yet anyway, does anyone know if any of the methods the author listed above work, or is this site a known malware/scam site?
Not too sure, but the steps for unlocking the bootloader mention using the .bin file from an LG V40, so I'm not sure if it's legit or not...

Could you elaborate, which resources did you use and what was the process, also does this now mean you are able to install TWRP, if so, which exact version and then are you able to root through TWRP or ODIN?
Wonder if there's a place one can find out whether this would work on US AT&T locked version, will unlock, speaking of which, why are there videos out there talking about that there's a cost to unlocking carrier, isn't the unlock free and provided on AT&T's website, what's the difference in terms of privacy risks and $?

Gotcha.
Did you go through the full process of unlocking your bootloader, or did you just use fastboot to get the device ID credentials and get an email from LG with the .bin file?
You got me curious!!
Does this mean that upon unlocking the bootloader, installing a different ROM, rooting, one unlocks also the carrier, or is separate issue and how come some pay money for it when it seemingly is free on the carrier website? Scam? Or how are these private persons able to unlock the carrier for you? Say AT&T -> Global.
Also, is TWRP always device model specific or is there an option which is compatible for multiple models, likely to work with G8X in this case, I'm assuming a G8X specific TWRP does not exist.

Can't do anything, as far as I understand it. So I guess no root, no twrp/recovery, no privacy. If these exploits are heavily model specific it will probably never happen with the G8X. Mainly I wanted to have root, de-google the etc. the phone with micro-g, and have twrp, hopefully customize roms, but I should have done more research beforehand.

I wonder if I can unlock the carrier from AT&T at least, the unlock portal at at&t says that it's still under contract or something like that, not sure what that means, will the guys contract run out in 12-24 mo and I will be able to unlock it through the AT&T portal or has he somehow bailed on it and it's locked forever.
I've also seen sites selling unlock codes, which this thing does ask for when I put in a different sim card, however I don't know if these sites are legit and if they work for never models like the G8x.

I'm not sure, I'm on Bell in Canada, and since 2017 all devices in Canada are sold as unlocked.
If you have an older device that IS carrier locked, you can get the carrier to unlock it for you at no charge.
I used to use a site to unlock devices, and the price ranged anywhere from $10 to $100 depending on the device, but I can't for the life of me remember what site that was.
That was back around 2012/2013.
Mine is also LM-G850UM, but I haven't tried the process of unlocking the bootloader yet.
I'm concerned that once I submit the device ID, it will void the warranty, and if it doesn't actually unlock the bootloader, then I've wasted the warranty for nothing.
Hi, I've read a lot of conversations but I can't understand one thing.
If I want to flash a stock firmware of an Italian Exynos device, need to activate Oem Unlock or do I just have to activate Debug Usb?

I just want to flash a stock firmware to immediately get the OneUi 4.1 can someone explain me the initial steps?

Usually it don't need anything else to prior do but flash the right firmware with Odin . Be sure what kind of firmware you download suitable to your phone and carrier . Get a multi CSC firmware of your area or country and that's it . Even myself did that and now I'm receiving fast OTA . I'm on A52s .
Hello,
After receiving my new Motorola x40 I realized that I wasn't able to use my GooglePay nor did it have other language support. So I decided to unlock my x40 bootloader via https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your- device-a
It all worked. I managed to install a global rom with all the google apps and extra language support.
However, Global rom didn't allow my GooglePlay to use my cards or backup via googleOne since the flashing was unlocked. So I went to fastboot to " fastboot flashing lock". After which my cards were able to work.
After few days of using global rom I decided to go back to chinese one since I found it a bit easier to navigate.
So when I decided to go back to my old chinese rom, in "Developer Options" OEM unlocking says "Connect to the internet or contact your operator" and it is greyed out.
I tried using " fastboot flashing/oem unlock" in fastboot however it tells me that i need to unlock it in " developer options " first.
My phone has already been connected to wifi for around 90 hours on a Global rom And around a week before I transitioned from Chinese room over to global rom.
How long do I need to be connected to the internet or what operator do I need to contact to unlock my OEM again? Or maybe there is another way to unlock OEM without waiting?
Things I tried and failed:
1) Factory reset
2) Wipe/Cache reset via recovery3) "fastboot flashing/oem unlock" via bootloader
Global rom used: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/rtwo/official/RETGB/

How many days are you in this state? maybe you are closer to 7 days than I am
The toggle to unlock the bootloader is now enabled for me after 8 days. I have the Edge 40 Pro.
mine too, didn't look before, i own mine since 14 april
Ok so the theory is that once you get a global rom and "fastboot oem lock", it will act like new phone and will only unlock after 7-8 days. Guess will have to wait to test this theory out.

Any update whether you can toggle OEM Unlocking?
Also, as someone who have been using Moto phones from China for years, CN ROM is way way way better the Global ROM when it comes to features and software updates. One useful feature is the built in Motorola Wallet app where I can use my phone as keycard and transpo card.

Using TinyFastbootScript flashing the reteu rom But when I installed it I blocked the bootloader thinking that it could be opened again to my surprise I could no longer activate the box so I have to wait and see if with any update I can go back To activate that option To activate that option

You won't be able to unlock the bootloader twice, impossible it's done by design by motorola.
You can only unlock your bootloader once

does this mean the phone that went through unlock\lock of the BL will never get a firmware update (whether OTA or manual)?

It's possible that we won't get OTA, only will know for sure in the future, i'm in the same situation.
But you can always manually update your firmware with rescue tool or through ADB as long it's the official firmware. You don't need a unlocked bootloader for that

This gives hope. Can you link me to flashing through adb? So far have only seen fastboot and magisk.

I think this method would work:
I screwed up...moto X40 bricked / Any EDL mode available?
Hi guys sadly I completely softbricked my motorola X40 phone i'm a idiot. I flashed to a wrong firmware file (edge 30 pro) and re-locked bootloader then found it phone doesn't properly boot anymore. I can boot it in fastboot mode but flashing in...

But I think this will erase all your data so it's not a real "upgrade firmware" method
I also found out there is an "software update" in the lenovo rescue tool
Maybe it's worth the shot to try this out too, but for me it's says I have the latest firmware already (which is correct) so I can't test it out right now.
