Bounty thread for internation (H850) port to H830 - Potential sim unlock method

This thread is a bounty to get a proper port of the H850 framework. This will allow us to enjoy all the feature of the H850 on our H830. Personally I am hoping this will make unlocking my G5 easier because we should be able to obtain our unlock codes (I already have mine) and do it the standard way. But understand when pledging that is only a theory and no guarantees.
If you pledge please pay up once it has been achieved.
As always this port must be something the average user can flash. Once it has been achieved we will discuss with the dev(s) on how/if they want to receive their donations.
So far the devs I know of are @autoprime and @Miustone
Pledges:
jkhan49 - $25
liushangrong - $50
Total: $75
Decided to sell my phone so I removed my pledge but I'll keep updating it for you. I got impatient after a month an a half.

Hey buddy $25 from my side too..

Can anybody help me T-Mobile sim unlock method ，$50

I suspect we have a CM ROM, will be able to use the key to unlock. The system determines the network lock tips?

If you had your TMobile LG G5 for a month and half, wouldn't TMobile unlock it for you? What happened?
I'm keeping my G5 for 40days and then trying to unlock it, so I was just wondering what your results were.
Thanks

You would think but even after FCC complaint and having T-Mobile office of the president call me saying they really want to unlock it but it isn't showing up on their system and they have tried every method they have... After spending 65 dollars in cellphone service and getting no where I caved. Good luck... Never worked out for me

The same thing happened to me and a lot of other people. My IMEI wasn't showing in their system so they said they couldn't unlock it. Don't listen to them. Lodge a complaint with the FCC saying they REFUSE to unlock your phone then contact Jennifer (information is below). I found it in another XDA thread. I got a call back in a few days (you have to be patient) from a Dianne who said they would escalate the issue and OVERRIDE it in the system to unlock it. Later I got a call back saying to retry the unlock app and it worked. You have to be past the 40 days of service though. I'm not sure why it didn't work for the other guy but you have to be persistent and don't take no for an answer. Be polite but persistent. By law they have to unlock it.

Were you rooted when you used the app to unlock your phone? Cause mine is rooted.
Just wondering if I need to remove root for the app to work?

I used LGUP to reflash the stock ROM temporarily until it was unlocked because rooting it after the unlock does not remove the unlock SIM unlocks are permanent no matter what you flash to the device since the unlock is stored on a separate chip than the system. It shouldn't matter if your rooted but I would reflash stock to be sure. Also, I SIM unlocked to get AT&T but AT&T really sucked on it, I never got a single drop of LTE and I even went to the AT&T store and called their customer service many times and the phone was definitely set up right (APN, preferred tech, ect.). It may just be my area though. I'm back with T-Mobile now because it's much better than any other carrier in my area. I spoke with Diana at T-Mobile for the unlock.

Hello
What if You change the IMEI number of your LG G5 H830 TMOBILE phone to a "good' IMEI - that has been allready Unlocked with TMOBILE , and than run "DEVICE UNLOCK" app on your phone ?

Hello nkhater
Thanks for the tip .
It will not work because it will fail/blocked in TMOBILE SERVICE ?
I pictured the whole process like :
1) The "DEVICE UNLOCK" app , send the IMEI # (faked one) to the TMO server
2) The Server will check to see if the IMEI number is not blacklisted / etc
3) Since the number is Eligible to unlock (it has been unlocked before) - the server will send GOOD respond to the phone
4) The phone will be unlocked (for good)
5) then - I'll retrieve the original IMEI to the phone.
In what stage do you think - the process will fail ?

Sprint sim unlock without paying anyone?

Just wondering if anyone figured out a way to sim unlock the device without paying any money to people? All the threads on here are saying that people are charging for it. What are they doing that I can't do with my computer and phone myself?

I paid a guy on here $20 to do it. Couldn't care for the hassle. Loving this fone unlocked and rooted. Best fone ever. I believe the issue is the sim unlock software being used. For now no one wants to share it. U could probably find it if u Google really hard tho.

I want unlock my moto z2 force.. Sprint .. recommendations ?? please
paying! ... that never will be free ....

First of all, ask your current provider to give you the unlock code. In order to be eligible for this, your bills need to be paid on time, have an account of at least 3 months and, most important, pay the phone in full. Call the carrier’s customer support line.
Secondly, you can root the phone and flash a custom firmware.
Apart from these two methods, I don't know other free unlocking methods.

LG G8 ThinQ Sim locked to Att.

Provided that the phone was paid for by the original owner and is not tied to an existing contract you should be able to get that code from at&t. Problem is that a lot of those online deals (e-bay) were never paid off and have been blacklisted

Thank you for the reply.
I checked online and the IMEI hasn't been reported lost, stolen, or (according to the IMEI report that I paid $3.00 usd for) doesn't have late fees or any other contract problems.

I tried the Att unlock service, and after 5 days they replied :
Current status - Denied
Your unlock request was denied because the device is no longer supported by the manufacturer and we can't obtain an unlock code.
At this point I'm totally clueless.

In the United States, all 4G phones have to be sold as unlocked by law. However, there are a few stipulations like owing money on the phone (purchased on credit, monthly payments) and a 30-90 day waiting period some carriers adopt.

Me either so I just opted to contact OnePlus and request an unlock code. TMobile requires the phone to be on their network for at least 40 days and I'm good standing. Once you have that you can install the TMobile Device unlock app and see if you can proceed. If you can, TMobile will SIM unlock your phone.

I was able to get TMO to permanently unlock my 7T just a few days ago. I had originally contacted TMobile Help on Twitter four days after getting my new 7T. I told them I was an app and ROM developer and I needed this device unlocked so I could test my apps. At that time she wouldn't unlock it and for me because I had only had my new 7T for four days. She told me she would unlock it after 40 days and if I was in good standing with my account.
I actually waited 50 days and contacted TMobile Help again on Tuesday and I was able I was given the permanent unlock. It took a little wrangling and explaining to the new person who was helping me but I got it done without having my 7T paid off.

Question anyone able to root with tmobile version?

anyone able to root with tmobile version? I have someone selling me their tmobile P6P, its payoff and unlock, but not sure if there is a difference after it is unlock.

There are already some threads in these sections concerning achieving bootloader unlock on T-Mobile variants of the P6P, which is all you need to worry about. Once you can unlock the bootloader (and have USB Debugging enabled) you can do anything you want.
I don't use T-Mobile but it involves contacting T-Mobile support, telling them you're going to be traveling out of the country, and request they SIM unlock the phone (so that you could use SIM cards that work in other countries). When they SIM unlock your phone, you can then enable OEM Unlock and unlock the bootloader. After that, the world is yours.
The other threads will give more detail and better advice, as I know there was something about temporary SIM unlock versus permanent, and how to achieve one or the other.
Search this section for T-Mobile in the thread name, if I remember correctly.

I used Twitter to send a Direct Message. I said "Good evening support. I have a favor to ask. Can you unlock my new Pixel 6? I may be going out of the country on short notice to assist a family friend and would want to put in a SIM from a carrier there."
After giving the agent my IEMI I was told "Thank you and thank you for being the best part of T-Mobile for over 5 years! Wow, there would be no us without you I was able to find that phone but see it doesn't qualify yet to unlock. No worries, #WeGotYourBack and I'm attempting to find a way around this. Checking on this right now for you. Be right back!"
I then replied "I appreciate that. I understand that normally the phone has to be on the network for 40 days and paid off but I believe there are temporary unlocks for traveling"
The next message was "You are more than welcomed! I know travelling abroad can be stressful enough and we want one less thing on your plate. Here are the steps to unlocking the phone Permanently https://t-mobile.com/support/devices/android/google-pixel-6-5g/mobile-device-unlock-google-pixel-6-5g…."

I have gotten every phone I've owned in the last 4 years unlocked no problem through Tforce on FB. They wont budge on my Pixel 6 pro this time. Its crazy.

Took a couple hours of messaging today but T-Mobile twitter unlocked 2 new phones that were financed through T-Mobile. At first I received a canned not eligible due "insert company policy". I asked if they would waive the 40 day requirement if I paid off both devices in full today. They agreed but both devices must be connected to and use data on the network first. I paid off the remaining balance and they instantly unlocked both phones. I did not have to use the unlocker app. Lot of hoops to jump through but we'll get a $600 credit over 24 billing cycles. Make sure the credits are on your pending bill. We still have to trade in the old phones.
Both of these phones have physical sims. They confirmed both devices would be unlocked for both physical and ESIMS. I also learned that OTA updates are pending with no time frame for all 3 of our physical SIM cards. The updates would enable SA (standalone) 5G. They currently rely on LTE. Support confirmed that ESIMS currently work with SA 5G and that customers are capable of switching to ESIM using the website.
Edit: I created a Twitter account just for this. Want to point out that the customer service agent was professional and pleasant to work with. Be patient and respectful. They are clearly overworked after Sprint merger and outsourcing by the corportate MBA terrorists.

ok I'm not talking about sim unlock people, I'm talking about bootloader unlock...

Can you do a bootloader unlock with a temporary sim unlock from tmobile, or does it require permanent sim unlock from tmobile?

If you are SIM unlocked, it functions like a factory unlocked PX6/P. Enable OEM unlock, go to bootloader, fastboot flashing unlock
