If I bought this phone on swappa unlocked could I put in my Verizon SIM card and still unlock the bootloader since the phone is unlocked? Or will my Verizon SIM card lock the bootloader?

The sim card has nothing to do with being able to unlock the bootloader.

2 different things
unlocked in the bootloader means the bootloader only is unlocked
SIM unlock means the device itself is locked to a carrier and you need the SIM unlock code.

If i unlock my branded phone, will i be able to unlock bootloader?

So, i have a branded phone and can't unlock the bootloader.
Will i be able to unlock the bootloader if i unlock my phone by contacting the phone network operator?
Also, will these two options do the same thing with my phone?
unlock at: phone network operator
unlock at: http://unlock-bootloader.com/unlock/

Removing the SIM lock (which is what you appear to be referring to) does not give one the ability to unlock the bootloader. However, I believe unlocking the bootloader will also remove the SIM lock. I can't say for sure, since my version of the Play (R800x, the Verizon CDMA one) does not use a SIM card at all.
Thanks for the answer!

Unlocked Pixel 3 XL from Swappa

Hello,
I bought an unlocked Pixel 3XL from Swappa. I've started the phone with no sim, no wifi, and bootloader unlocking is grayed out. I've reset, started phone with the sim, and same thing. I use T-mobile for my carrier and when I open the unlock app, it says device is already unlocked.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader, any ideas? Phone says unlocked, but unlock bootloader tab in developer options is grayed out.

It's probably a Verizon version which cannot be bootloader unlocked.

If the first two IMEI numbers are 35 your toast. If their 99 you should be able to unlock

It is 35, not 99. Oh well I guess.
Thanks!

unlocking bootloader without sim

I have a fully updated Mi Mix 2 it has firmware verison 12 on it and I want to unlock the bootloader but it says I need to turn off Wifi and install a SIM card. I do not have a SIM card to install and it won't work since I only have Verizon. Is there any other way I can unlock the bootloader?

Question SIM card - unlocking bootloader

I wasn't planning on using a SIM Card. I'm looking to unlock BL. The process requests me to put in a SIM. The phone cannot read my current SIM.
1. Should there be any problems if I put in my friend's SIM just to activate the 7 days unlock process?
2. Do I need the SIM later after the 7 days have passed and I'm proceeding to unlock the BL?
3. Can I use another SIM with the phone later on if I'm switching use case, or will it somehow be bound to the SIM I put in when unlocking BL?
No No Yes No
