Seen a thread about this dated for June but didn't want to Necro that thread as there may have been a "DIY" way of unlocking these phones. Anyone found a way yet or no??
believe it was flash metro firmware on, unlock with code, then flash back tmobile

So I'm on the same boat as several others, got a T-Mo S6 Edge to use on another network, bought the unlock code, doesn't work so I can't use it, however, the carrier I plan to use it on (Claro Dominicana) also has the device and I found their stock ROM online (http://www.mrcrab.net/viewstockrom/34045-sm-g925i.html) Would I be able to flash this, a 925i ROM into my 925t device without issues? As I understand the issue right now is that there are no unlockable ROMs for the Edge in the US.
I purchased a G4 h815 with hopes of unlocking the bootloader. It turned out to the the giveaway USA variant so LG will not allow bootloader unlock. Since it was still on 5.1 I was able to put a rooted 5.1 stock build on it using Low Effort Root thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...zw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/page64. My question is where do I go from here? If I put a non-rooted MM ROM on it will I be able to continue upgrading the ROM or will that be a dead end? Should I put a stock ROM on it that will be able to receive OTAs from LG? If so which one do I need in order to guarantee that I can get OTAs? If it is not possible to retain root, how can I insure that I can at least have tethering available? I am not new to rooting and ROMing but I am new to locked bootloaders and new MM security issues. I am a net10 user (AT&T network) since that is the only good signal in my area. I bought this phone for the superior camera, micro sd slot and general good value in a used phone but I fear that it is at a development dead end. Any insights, suggestions or resources that anyone can point me toward. I have searched extensively in these LG4 forums and elsewhere without seeing these issues directly addressed. My next step would be to give up on LG and go with a phone that allows development like an HTC One M9.
Thanks in advance!
Hello all,
I have an LG G8 on November firmware (I think) on Pie, not Android 10. I am looking to update to an exploitable firmware, but don't want to pay for AT&T service.
How do I go about doing this? I can see I can buy AT&T sim cards on eBay, but not sure what to go with.
My phone is also locked AT&T, but it looks like we don't have an unlocking solution yet. I know putting red pocket on the phone doesn't give me updates and still makes it so AT&T's unlock portal doesn't see my phone IMEI.

Unfortunately, there isn't really a way to do anything right now since the pie firmware isn't exploitable. The only thing you can do is try to call at&t tech support and have them add your imei to the update database

It looks like LG installs updates incrementally, so by purchasing an AT&T sim I think I can get to the exploitable firmware just by doing a couple updates. I'll post back once I get the sim
New to flashing and unlocking bootloaders. Accidentally came upon the download screen and wanted to learn more. I have a samsung galaxy s20 ultra 5g g988u but from Verizon. Ive read everything i could and still confused. Can anyone help me out with anything. Lol i just want to learn
U.S. variant of Samsung phones cannot be bootloader unlocked. Everything you read online most likely is referencing the international version, which can be unlocked no problem. The only way you can unlock a U.S. variant phone is by paying a service fee (search for SamPWND).
Hi l. Just got a XT2201-4 and have it activated on Fi despite it being a Verizon phone. It is giving me warnings about auto updating and must reboot, and a bunch of Verizon B.S. apps etc. Build is S1SHS32.55-78-10-3. Is it possible to unlock bootloader on this phone or to flash a stock ROM without any carrier B.S.? If not, I might return the phone although the price and specs were all great. Thanks.
Also is the X30 Pro and Edge+ 2022 the same phone?
