I got my LG G4 yesterday and its time to fiddle!
But I have been stopped before I can even begin.
I have the H815 EU model on O2 UK. I checked the "Allow OEM unlock" setting in Developer Options, got into fastboot and then got told by the LG website that my phone is not allowed to be unlocked!
Is that it? End of the line?

Hi folks.
I'm switching networks from O2 to talktalk (vodafone) and I'm wondering if anyone can direct me to a free method of doing this. I've watched the videos on youtube that allow it to be done by dialing “*#197328640#” on the phone but when I enter the network lock section it says "MENU NOT EXIST"
I'm guessing this is an O2 thing so can anyone help me find a way to get my device unlocked?
ps. Hope I have this in the correct section. I've also tried searching on here but no joy.
Thanks

GalaxSim worth the couple of bucks.
I think you have to downgrade to a 4.1.1 rom first, unlock your phone then flash a 4.1.2 rom.

I've tried using galaxsim but I'm getting
"unable to read NV data"
You guys are saying it's worth the money but the app appears to be free. I can't see a paid version only a free version.
It will ask you to buy if you want to use it to unlock.

Thanks for the reply's folks.
I downgraded to 4.1.1 to try using the *#197328640# method but that hasn't worked.
I've tried using the old version kdogguk posted but i'm getting invalid IEMI number now but it's saying my phone is unlocked
my phone is locked tho as it won't take my new talktalk sim.
My phone was stuck on boot screen when I downgraded and I had to root though odin then reset it before it would work so I think I've downgraded to the wrong firmware as it is now branded O2 firmware where as before even tho it was locked to O2 the firmware was neutral (not O2 branded).
I've rooted as I said but it won't install custom roms so I have a problem now. Going to upgrade to 4.1.2 but need to make sure I have the right firmware this time.
I'm having some time of it right now lol
This galaxysim app is now saying my phone is unlocked but it won't take my talktalk (vodafone) sim
Still no luck? My note 2 was on o2 first thing I done was root it, tried that code but didnt work then used galaxsim its free but said it could be done paying £2 something. Then I installed a standard btu rom. Funny thing is not tried diffe sim yet. Just hate locked phones
Where abouts in UK are you?

on my phone it says my device is unlocked but when i try to call any number it says not registered on network, what's the problem?
turn off data. turn off mobile. turn them back on. reboot.
Galaxsim was saying my phone is unlocked but it wouldn't take my talktalk sim. I ended up paying £9 to get it unlocked on ebay. Working fine now.
Strange because my phone is O2 but I've been running it with a 3 sim from day one.
They should be unlocked by default.

While back I heard something about unlocking phones is illegal? Where are we with that?
Bought this phone on craiglist, currently running Wicked Rom, can I just call Tmobil and ask them to unlock the phone for me?

They'll provide an unlock code if you've been using the phone on your T-Mobile line for 40+ days
I unlocked mine with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.regionlockaway just open app hit no region lock. Hit reboot later (must do that do not reboot automatically) turn phone off manually. Put other sim in the phone and turn it on.

The phone has been couple of months on international market and still no one found a way to unlock the bootloader.
How come ?

Probably because the US variants just released within the last 2 weeks
Coming up with an unlock method isn't always easy, anyone who's coming up with a solution is doing it on they're own time

Hey guys
My brother bought an x5 premium but it's locked to EE. The first time he contacted EE they said it'll take 3 weeks, it didn't happen so he's contacted them another 3 or 4 times and they've not done anything. Now they're saying that Sony haven't released the code...... That doesn't sound right to me.
Has Anyone successfully unlocked their z5 premium?
Thanks

Wrong, carphone warehouse do sell sim free network unlocked devices but they mainly only deal in network locked devices. The only UK network to supply sim free network unlocked Bootloader unlockable devices for all there handsets whether payg or contract is three UK.
Best place to look for a unlock code is amazon or eBay to be honest, costs a few quid n they send you a email with a code I think is how it works. I do know that some network's are cheaper and easier to unlock than others you could always try places like gumtree see if any local phone shops have advert. Thought the network had to supply a pac code to unlock the device to any network if there's no money owing on it in unpaid bills

Hi All:
After I updated to Android 10, I noticed an icon for Network Unlock in my app drawer, but it went away soon after the apps were "optimized." It still shows up in my apps settings under "all", but I cannot access it.
I have a AT&T branded N975U running BSL7. Anyone have any idea what this app is or how to access it?
Thanks in advance!
On my T-mobile version it is under network settings under more connection settings

Same here. It let me permanently unlock my phone.
Did you have it for longer than 40 days? It says my device is ineligible to be unlocked. I paid it off already but only had it a few weeks.

I've had it since prerelease, but it's financed, so I'm a bit surprised.
Interesting. Maybe it must cares about being in use for 40+ days on postpaid T-mobile account

lol for sim unlocking.. just as the name suggests.. theres reference to it in some init files.. theres also some properties that reference it such as ssu.status and ssu.support.. i think theres only 3 carriers that use it from what I saw with TMB and VZW being two of them

tmo has the option in settings.. it uses the unlock app.. before tmb used to have their own app but newer devices its integrated..
it will let u unlock given your device is eligible.. vzw devices however dont have the option since according to vzw after so many days it will be automatically unlocked so no need to include it in settings like tmb does

im sure theres a time requirement.. most carriers have them.. i would check online for tmb device unlock policies if u want specifics.. every carrier has their unlock policies online.. its the best way to fibd out since most the time ppl on the internet will just tell u wat they believe it is and even reps half the time make stuff up to get you off the phone n dont actually look up the policies.. this is coming from a quality rep for a major carrier lol
Sent from my SM-N976V using Tapatalk
Thanks, yeah I checked in their site and it says device must be fully paid off and active for 40 days for it to be eligible for network unlock.
Also they only let you unlock 2 phones in a year or line of service. What I find interesting is someone was able to unlock One plus 7 pro McLaren within a week of buying it.... Such inconsistencies and mysteries we may never know the answer for[emoji3]
Were you a ROM developer in the past? I recall your username from some guide posted on XDA or ROM for older galaxy phone [emoji846]
