hi, how can i put the unlock code for the LG G4 H811 T-Mobile.... the phone come the with the new app unlock security.. but i only have the unlock code..

You cant use a unlock code. The only way to unlock it is to have "sunderwear" unlock it for ya. Just pm him , he unlocked mine for $45

The only way to unlock the TMO variant is to pay a third party for $45?

Yup pretty much if your phone is being financed. I was in the same boat. I had him do it for me and I also have a video on YouTube to show he is legit. Just send "sunderwear" a pm on here.

HAHAHA! He is the officially appointed unlocker! The only one in the world that can do it! Nah. You just need the right tool. You need to get your MSL/SPC code. Use this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394499

That's the only person I found that can do it. T-Mobile remove the unlock code prompt.

$45 is a ripoff. I just had T-Mobile unlock it for me for $0. $45 buys me a spare battery and charger or a memory card.

T-Mobile won't unlock a financed phone... You cannot unlock it through a code either..

Have you done this recently? Does this still work? Or was the loophole closed?

I sent my secondhand, unlocked G4 H811 into LG for repairs after a bootloop issue. In fixing the issue, they seem to have re-locked my phone. Because it wasn't attached to any account, T-Mobile has thus far refused to unlock it, and gone so far as to claim they cannot. I've loaded a custom ROM on my phone, and that gives me the screen to input a SIM network unlock PIN, (which I bought) but the phone seems to just hang there waiting when I key in the unlock PIN. What is the correct procedure to get this done? I've seen online ads for people who say they can unlock phones that require the T-Mobile unlock App, but they all seem quite expensive.

HTC 10 Sim Unlock Code

I'm using t-mobile HTC 10 around a week, but want switch to AT&T now as the AT&Ts 4g internet connection is faster in my area. To my surprise not so many services can unlock this phone at this moment (maybe because the phone just came on market, hard locked or smth). found some services where htc 10 is supported. Just want to ask- is anyone used these services?

That's me . I've ordered a HTC 10 and will be here soon. Anyone interested in starting on a sim unlock before than. Please PM me
I am legit. Check out my work for M9 and Desire 626 sim unlock method. Plus I need this to work as the T-Mobile variant I am getting is not in their database (so no unlock app).
Thanks

@stifilz is probably the best thing that happened to the HTC M9. He sorted my sim issues on the Sprint M9 within minutes, couple of times. Helped countless others too!
Hi @stifilz, I back on HTC, this time with T-Mo HTC 10. It seems unlocked because my sim is working perfectly fine, 4g lte and all. I'm thinking of getting s-off and flashing US Unlocked RUU, just scared I might lose the sim unlock.

A few questions:
1. I read somewhere that when you flash the US Unlocked RUU during setup you're asked to pick a network. Was there anything like that for you? What did you do if there was?
2. How did you do the physical unlock and how much did it cost?
3. When I bought my phone from the guy I just popped in my sim and it works. The T-Mo unlock app is still in my apps but I've decided not to touch it. How can I tell if mine is physical unlock?
Thanks!

A physical unlock involves plugging the tool into it. You would need to buy that tool. Just try it. Worst case you SHOULD be able to flash T-Mobile and use the unlock app again. PM me if you need S-off

Not sure of your status with this but DO NOT use htcunlockingservice.com. It was $12 to begin with, then I was informed I'd need to pay an additional $12 bc the device was hard locked. I did, they notified me they got an unlock code from Sprint server but it did not work. Site says 100% money back guarantee but thats proving as much of a pain as dealing with Sprint customer service.

Sprint unlock is not done by code. It is not a GSM phone. It is CDMA/GSM so it is unlocked different. Search xda HTC Sprint NV unlock

Unlocking T-Mobile 1+1 Samsung S8+

Hi, The 1700$ for 2x S8+ promotion suites my needs, the only problem is I have to activate T-mobile line but I would like to take it with me to Israel.
Is it possible to unlock it? (Via T-Mobile or by installing a new rom)

Are you paying for the phone in full immediately, or paying monthly for it? There is no way to install a new ROM since there is no root or bootloader unlock yet.

Yes, because TMobile won't unlock the phone unless it's paid off.

There's an unlock app built right into the phone by T-Mobile. As long as it's paid off fully, the app "should" see that and permanently unlock it.

Also, you need to be on t-mobile for at least 40 days.

If he calls on and says he is traveling he could get it done in less than 40 days. I had my LG V20 unlocked with around 28 days on the T-Mobile network.

I'm the t mobile app, there is a option to unlock it temporarily for the trip. But he should be able to unlock it permanently

Yes this is true.. I "traveled" numerous times, and TMO Reps request the unlock, as long as the device is paid off. I had my unlock acceptance. Hence, I requested my unlock on Friday April 22nd, and got the acceptance on April 24th. In reality the 40 day rule has a loophole.

T-Mo is pretty relaxed with unlocking these days. Got on T-Mo app and start a chat. Told rep that I need the phone unlocked for travel. Rep came back within 2 mins and told me to do a Permanent Unlock request from the app and it worked. I still have device payment on this phone by the way. ?

FWIW Best Buy begins selling unlocked S8/+ on May 31.

How does two S8+ for $1700 qualify as a promotion? ”Promotion" generally implies a discount of some kind.
Hey guys, check out this promotion: Ford is selling Mustang GTs at $40,000 each, or two for $80,000.

The date he posted Samsung.com was running a promo for a $750 rebate when buying two T-Mobile S8/S8+ phones

I purchased my T-Mobile phone from Samsung. Asked T-Force to add my IEMI to their system so i could ask for unlock code in 40 days when i am travelling. Next day they said it was approved for unlock and to use the Unlock App. Used the phone for less than 10 days and unlocked

Good thing you went though T-Force, every other support channel seems totally clueless about unlocking T-Mobile phones bought directly through Samsung. They try to whitelist the IMEI in the Device Unlock app, but that won't work. They need to send a request to add the IMEI to their inventory system so it looks like it was sold by them.

Yup, i asked t add to their system. This is how i started the conversation.

T-Force CSR asked for IMEI to add to their system and submitted it for unlock.

Technically I would think they had no choice but to unlock yours immediately. If you didn't purchase it directly from them how could they fully bind you to their policy.

Just seen this on android central, in Canada new law is to have all phones in 2017 unlocked,
At the end of the article.. found this..
Other devices, like the Galaxy S8, are sold unlocked and become locked to the first SIM card inserted in the phone.
My phone will be coming in, I hear some people saying some are unlocked, after putting in ur sim, has anyone tried putting another sim from another provider.

Sim Unlock [Noob Question]

So I'm in the process of unlocking my sim (permanently) so I can use it on my carrier in here in Canada. My question is when the sim is unlocked can I install a custom rom, will it still work? ie; can I still make calls and texts?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. But I really need to know.

Hi! Thank you for answering my question.
The device is locked to the T-Mobile carrier. I want to use it with Freedom Mobile here in Canada, the phone should work on this carrier. I made the mistake of buying it through ebay (was cheap) I will use cellunlocker.net to unlock it.

Okay. Please let us know if cellunlocker works, I haven't tried their service due to too expensive.

You might be able to unlock this device and use it on every network.
But you will probably not be able to use it with Freedom mobile in Canada because Freedom uses CDMA technology, whereas T-mobile uses GSM.

Update: Cellunlocker was unable to unlock the device. Will return and buy the H850 instead.

Nope. I never used a T-Mobile sim. I get the phone thru some online seller here in the Philippines. On their first email that says my device was successfully unlocked but when I tried it, It fails I emailed them and they told me to wait again and after few days they finally unlocked my device.

Dude!
I have an H830 locked to t-mobile that I want to use on Freedom mobile in Canada also! How much did you have to pay to do this? All these sites are asking me for $150 and cellunlocker.net simply told me that I should wait up to a month before asking them again because they're having troubles with it.

Same here...I found a local phone shop who promised to unlock for less than $25.. two days later they said the server is down. I think its global I got the same response from different eBay sellers also. I hope T-mobile is not patching their system.

Bootloader unlock question

Got my Z2 in T-Mobile version but dont have a sim yet, its still on the way. I have been trying all morning to unlock the boot loader but it tells me my phones not eligible. Does the sim card have to be in it to unlock bootloader??

Did you do the whole "get the code from the bootloader, then paste to moto website, then wait for emailed code" thing? At what point does it tell you the phone's not eligible?

I unlocked both of my z2's with out having a sim in them. There has to be something else you're missing, if you have a T-Mobile z2 force it should be unlockable. The only other thought is sometimes there are phones given away in promotions that can't be sim unlocked because their imei isn't in TMobile's system, maybe (if it's a "promotional phone") it's not in Motorola's system as a T-Mobile phone.
Also you should unlock the bootloader before you set it up since unlocking will erase everything including internal SD.

He's not doing anything wrong. I am having the same issue with my most recent Z2 replaced under warranty from T-Mobile. It says the device cannot be unlocked on Motorola's website. Just for the sake of trying, I used my other Z2's unlock key but it won't work as keys are obviously unique per phone. I think TMO is locking the bootloaders now

Make sure your not including any spaces in the unlock data and using copy/paste as the website is very specific. Even if you transpose 1 character it will be seen as an invalid code, hence the reason they have the nifty data scrubber so you can copy/paste everything and it will only transmit the code that is needed. It's worked for countless others.

I have used the data scruber, copied directly from command prompt and cleaned it, used notepad to clean it, verified, re-verified. I know I did it right on my end especially that this will be the 3rd Z2 that I unlock this month. I even tried the old trick of unlinking Motorola ID from the phone and even creating a new ID from another e-mail just so all my bases can be covered. After trying all of this, on different computers, browsers, I can say with certainty that I received a locked TMO Z2 Force.
There is a forum on Lenovo/motorola support that you can enter your unlock data and your getvar all so the motorola engineers can send you an unlock code manually. Apparently, some motorola can be shipped incorrectly coded.

Well that does sound frustrating that you had 2 other successful unlocks. Hopefully that link proves fruitful for you.
Hopefully it's not going to turn into an issue like sim unlocking "promotional" (give away) TMobile phones.

If that's the case I would just warranty exchange it again. For me, a phone is useless if it's locked.

If your CID shows 0x0015 like mine ITS UNLOCKABLE!!!!!!

Yep I figured this much. Must be a glitch on Motorola's website not recognizing the unlock data properly.

I got a replacement from T-MOBILE the other day. It has Oreo on it and everything. I had no problem unlocking the bootloader.

I bought this phone of ebay new never activated, still under warranty until October 2018.. would I be able to send it in for a replacement???

Well my BL is officially UNLOCKED even though my CID on the phone shows it not to be able to be unlocked, if your having trouble getting your unlock code from the online generator i'd suggest to head over to the Lenovo forum and let AlphaDog put in a request for the code.

When I did mine a few days ago, it behaved the same way until I actually registered it to my Moto account.

How did you do it???

My CID is 0x0015, but I still get the "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking." message from Motorola. Did you put in the request for a code on the Motorola forums with AlphaDog?
PS. That poor guy AlphaDog seems a little overworked.
