Has anybody tried to unlock ZL with software (for example from that site)? to unlock the phone with code takes from 3 to 7 working days to get the code, while this site guarantees unlocking almost right away after using their software.

if i unlock the bootloader will it unlock my network so i can use a different sim?
I have tried buying a code online but they keep refunding me saying my phone is less than a month old
Is there a way round this to get my phone unlocked from Tmobile?
Thanks guys/gals
No it won't, you need a SIM unlock code for that
Hello! I've been trying to figure out how to sim unlock my phones for quite a while now. I've asked everywhere, even unlocking sites how they get these codes (to no avail of course) and I never tried asking here for some reason. I want to learn how it's done, and how I can do it myself. My Dad jumps from phone to phone and always needs to get them unlocked. I don't want to pay for them anymore, I'd rather do them myself!
I just found this thread: [TUTORIAL] Unlock Samsung [GT-S5570 / i5500 / Galaxy Ace] which will help me unlock my aunt's phone which is nice I guess, but it looks to be a Samsung only method. Am I able to use a similar method with a phone that has an EFS folder? Is it in the nv_data file? How do unlocking websites retrieve the unlock code with just the model, network and imei? Do they simply ask the carrier?
I'd love for any sort of help! Just a guiding light, a path to follow, anything! Please and thank you!
Some phones can be unlocked using software exploits however most require a unlock code that is generated based on the imei as far as I know you can not generate these codes yourself
The short answer is that there are very few ways to get free unlock codes for phones these days. Samsung sometimes leaves system directories wide open which allows for a few tweaks to get the phone unlocked, but most other manufacturers have things locked down pretty tight.
The databases from SIM unlock services are filled with unlock codes which they purchase from manufacturers or component makers.
They have a app now that does it on the market but for how long who knows. U have to b rooted for it to work
unlock codes
Do you know what the name of that app is?
Hi everyone,
today I sent my p20 lite to amazon for a problem with the screen (it would seem a line at the bottom of the screen with burnt pixels). My question is: since I was about to unlock the bootloader with the code provided by the site when it was still possible to request it, I can still use it even if the device is different or connected to the IMEI and then to unlock it I have to go through other methods ?
As far as I know, bootloader code is tied to the first imei on p20, if device/imei is changed, so bootloader code. Additionaly, if you get new device with newest system updates you can't get bootloader unlock, or if so, it will cost ya around 50usd (unless DC unlocker (5usd) starts working again with newest os), but I don't know whether those more expensive methods even work, some people claim that they are, but all looks quite fishy imo.
Edit
okay, apparently, there's a way to unlock bootloader even with newest firmware - you need to downgrade os using this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/how-to/root-how-to-install-update-t3841557 and then get code using DC unlocker
bootloader code works for your bootloader software (i once bricked my p9 phone so hard, i needet to reflash its software with testpoint method, after that, my bootloader code didnt work, used dc unlocker 4 euros, to see what code are, then i got different code for same phone with same imei etc.) so, if nothing drasticaly not changed with your mainboard softare, you need to be able to use unlock code you got.
After the device is well over 10 years old (wow)
Is there any method I can use to unlock the bootloader myself?
There appears to be no other option than to message someone here on XDA and those people are probably not working on this device STILL after 10 years.
Anyone still listening?
Hello everyone
I'm stuck in a horrible situation here if someone might be able to help would be a great help.
So basically I want to Unlock my phones bootloader but it happens to be that the Phone network is broken, I mean there is some issue with the motherboard where even If you insert a Sim it shows No SIM as. So I've been using this device just for surfing Yt and stuff.
So when I try to unlock the bootloader by going into the Developer option > Unlock Status and it needs a SIM card inserted to add device and account.
Is there a work around to bypass this.
What I have tried so far using MI unlock tool but it throws error.

after long time searching and tryng out both official and non official methods for unlocking bootloader, or at least bypass it I find this method which was 100% perfectly worked and made me able to flash any other custom rom or recovery
