No working root for note10+ US snapdragon in site you say??? A few months back @elliwigy with extreme syndicate release a working root method for the note 9 snapdragon, they did this by exploiting the combo files to bypass the locked boot-loader issue with newer US Samsung models. I was curious to see if this can also be achieved on the us note 10 plus. I have been working on that very problem but i seem to have hit a wall could use some fresh input. Is anybody else actively working on this if so I would like to team up and solve this problem....
yours in good code,
-C-Dubbenstein-
Would be nice when and if. Good luck. I picked up my vzw note 10plus on day 1 here in US. Never updated anything other than play store apps for in the event a root or maybe even a bootloader unlock would come to. Neither of which I'm holding my breath on. But I'm optimistic. These are strange times we live in so who knows.
Good luck nonetheless,

Well I seen this morning there is an unlocking method for $150 just need to confirm if itll work for the + models also
see
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-20-ultra/how-to/root-note-20-ultra-version-t4165703
appears to cover n10 among few other
Anyone tried this rooting/ bootloader unlock method successfully on an SM-N976U Note 10+5G from Tmo?

This reply.
This has enough red flags to be more red than "some country flag" itself.
"So basically I gotta send some random guy in Beijing $150.. wait a week, install some 3rd party utils to let him take over my (windows) computer.. and if anything goes wrong I'm out $150 and the only way to get ahold of them is Telegram?"
That's the reply quoted above.
Hmm...
a. send money to unknown person - no control whatsoever on tracing the money
b. wait for some time - no guarantee of getting an answer
c. install some 3rd party PC tools (or similar) which will allow that unknown person to control my computer - WHAT POSSIBLY COULD GO WRONG :silly:
d. if something goes wrong / unsuccessful result (which are quite possible) then ... - ugh, cuz why not, I've paid, right?
e. the only way to get in touch with that person is telegram - btw, on groups channels there's no encryption (afaik, but maybe I'm wrong)
What can I possible do with the 150$? What if I save some 20-30$ every month for 2 years and add the 150?
Some 630$ - 870$ of savings in 2 years, not bad, they may help in buying the next phone.
Oh yeah, and no root. Because 'Murica (and a few others) luv SD chips. And LagSung loves $$$.

Then don't do it. I know the guys too. And they are legit. So it's no one loss but your own. I wouldn't hesitate. Next time you want root or such buy a device that can be out the door

I did not say that they are not legit nor that I have something against them.
My point is that the variables on this endeavor are complex and thin, not so much transparency.
I do own an 975F, so I don't loose anything.

so the reply you quoted is someone who is paranoid or mad that its not "free".. most good things in life are not free..
a. I am known very much so in the community and have been around a decade or so.. have been only dev really providing root (for free) on xda since the s8 and posted many other dev projects overthe years before that
b. I respond as soon as physically possible so u will get a reply. also to add im not shady at all, in fact theres a plethora of notes which users must read everything before theyre even able to send anything.
c. usb redirector is a very common tool that most legit services use for various things such as sim unlocks, frp bypasses or w.e other services are out there in the world. it also DOES NOT allow full control of ur computer lmao.. it only allows them to see the device plugged into usb which is what allows remote services to be dont.. u basically plug device in and with usb redirector itll appear as if its plugged in to the remote computer so they can unlock the device.
d. if something goes wrong bcuz the user didnt read all the notes, provided wrong did or something after repeated warnings, notes, having them triple check then thats their own fault. If it is an issue with the service then a refund is given. This is common practice. If you go to an antique store and break something chances are u will have to pay for it, same concept.
e. theres multiple ways. chat, xda, email, pymbt is done in venmo usually so u also have access to personal facebook account if need be. Encryption for chat isnt really necessary.. im sure real hackers have more important things to do then try and somehow steal a random chat for a did they cant do anything with anyways lol
its also not 150.. only flip 2 is 150 which very few ppl have anyways.. but i do agree, you can do a lot with 150 and of course saving money over two years is a good idea lol
and absolutely, we luv sd chips bcuz its consistently superior than exynos as well as exynos doesnt have good functionallity on usa networks.. why buy a exynos if ur in usa and not have any carrier features or 5g etc?
thats just my 2 cents lol

I must apologize for the fact that I didn't know that you are the person dealing with this root possibility. I know the type of your work, but didn't think it can be also a different one too.
I also have great respect for you, so again, I'm sorry.
I understood that it was a completely other unknown person related to this situation. My ignorant answer(s) were based on that.
To be more clear, I do not live in US and can't buy an US SD with similar carrier conditions. I have access to Exynos as purchase and warranty. I'm satisfied with it.
It is totally my fault being to superficial in getting the correct (somehow an interesting/challenging one) context of this talk.
Therefore I apologize again.
Best regards.

lol no need to apologize.. just as someone else stated a "paid" service or even unlock in general for some reason ppl have a hard time believing but with everything else theres always goimg to be a few out there that will be quick to downplay it.
Of course some points/concerns im sure are very real to some ppl and paid services are frowned upon on xda for valid reasons with one being some ppl will be triggered and unfortunately sometimes post innapropriately lol

So you trust the method to get the note 10+ snapdragon rooted? Do you or does anyone know anyone who has done it thats given feedback besides Mad Scientist saying he knows them? What would you say is the best option of a note 10+/model number that can be rooted?
A non related question, is there a recommended carrier unlock company you'd recommend, i use a tmobile note 10+. Is unlockriver legit?

thats insane! for that much i could buy an octoplus with a years license and then charge everyone visiting these threads $20 to bootloader and/or sim unlock their devices. whats the incentive to use that kind of service. ive never even heard of a remote frp fix for more than $30.

no. instead go and buy the apps and give programmers' work respect!

Can you understand or even ask why he asked for sp**fed apps?!!!!
for me it is too simple
until now almost the whole middle east didn't get paid app service from samsung apps
Can you imagine how is bada look like right here?!!!!!
it is like weird platform used by idiots (excuse me for that word)who are so patient for it to be great
i don't support sp**fing but if samsung is not going to support our region then it should be done
Am i right?

Nope, spoofing apps in any case is a piracy, and it hurts bada and developers (who work hard to give us some apps) the most. You better write to Samsung and ask for opening paid version of Samsung Apps in your region instead of stealing someone's work. Therefore personally I give this topic -1.
love90, I understand your thoughts, but akuji is right: better make BIG trouble and write hundreds (or thousands) of e-mails and send them to samsung. also, form a group with a petition and go even bigger!
another thing: what is your problem? I can buy apps in ANY store everywhere of the world. if I do not like the apps in x, then I change the store to another country and buy them there. you can do this, too, I guess. ip faking is not even needed, I believe, but if it is needed, then just use one of million tools for that.
there is just NO reason to **** up the little programmers' base we have.
I don't have a Visa or Master card(should i hate myself for not having a one?!)
Also those damn cards for paying are not so popular right here
Another thing : i don't trust Samsung app to give them my card no. even if i have a one
I'd prefer using phone bill when it is available
E-mailed Samsung many times and they always say we are working on it and nothing happens
All my forums members did also so it is not about that
Samsung seems to be not interested in doing it
For my case i gathered important apps and added them to the firmware to use them until the paid service is out and i'll erase them and then buy them when they are available
1. I do rather not believe, you will erase apps later and buy them. Sorry, nobody is acting like that.
2. Now and for ALL TIMES: It is NOT Samsung's error, but the bad behaviour of PHONE CONTRACTORS, if P-Bill is not active in your country. You have to call your providers then and make trouble there.
3. You know, I thought you have NO possibility to buy apps, but now you are telling me it is just about the ****ing credit card? That is hilarious. So, you do not want to trust Samsung. Who else not? Flight companies? Amazon? Ebay? What do you want to do then with your credit card? Just sit and fart on it? =)
Seriously, there are 5000 prepaid credit card providers in the world which offer no further costs than aquiring the prepaid credit card. Every gas station even has them. So, you can buy your apps with those prepaid credit cards and have NO problem with your data, because those are anonymus.
Nowhere in the world there is a solid base/argument for spoofing apps ... and never forget, those app programmers usually are NOT big companies, but small groups or individuals (freelancers) with an age between 20 and 45 years. So, spoofers are really ****ing up someone's monthly income.

1. yes, that sucks. in Europe it does not, too, but therefore we have the hack. that is fine with me.
2. as I said, prepaid credit cards. that is working like a phone card. you can get/buy them everywhere for 10, 20, 50 or 100 €/$. gas stations, newspaper stores, ... everywhere. also, online, of course. with those you can buy apps in the samsung store. the best thing: they are anonymus. so, it does not even matter how old you are.

Sent from a phone....In my hand!
Hi there.
I recently purchase a T-Mobile - T999 mobile via ebay. I am from Greece and, here, the cost for a samsung galaxy s3 is almost double....
I still own my international galaxy s i9000 but i thought it was time for a change.
Box is sealed and i ll have it on my hands in less than 3 days.
I did a big research, unfortunately after the purchase, and i realised that.
1. It seems that I9300 is faster than USA versions. Well i have seeen only tests where those guys were always used task manager to close apps and then they had a new test run etc. I didnt saw those mobiles, one next to the other with a normal daily usage. More apps on the backround etc. Is someone here who have made a test like that? Is it a big difference or not?
2. I realised that international roms cant be used on the usa models. Whats the negative on that? Will i be able to use Greek language, menu on it? Models like T999 use certain roms from t-mobile? If yes probably i am going to have a rom with many unuseful apps etc?
3. I found some ways to unlock it. If i unlock it can i unroot it after and use another rom? Will i always be unlocked whatever rom whatever flash i do? Or i should contact t-mobile and ask - pray for an unock code?
4. Do you believe if its wise to wait a bit for the new international model i9305 and sell my t999? Or stay like it?
5. The guy who from i bought that handset was the 2nd owner (weird) and he is trying to get me the receipt for service reasons. Is there a way to ask for the warranty f i dont get that receipt?
I am not sure what to do or what to expect. I am making a small invest here and since i am always keepng my mobiles for 2-3 years at least.... i need any kind of information that can be usefull.
I will appreciate any kind of help.
Thank you all in advance and forgive my poor English.
Regards
Bump

Any help guys?
The tmobile roms will not work on any other device unless stated. I don't think tmobile will hand you an unlock code so I wouldn't expect that.
Speed wise you won't noticed a difference between the international version and us one for day to day use.
If you root it then you can uninstal any apps you don't want.
As for language you might not have much luck with foreign language with a us model.
Edit: I could be wrong, With unlocking the carrier, it should stay no matter what tmobile rom you flash.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
1. Probably not much difference. Intnl has faster processor but US version has more ram. They are both likely fast enough for just about anyone.
2. No on Greek language. Plenty of roms and development and getting better still. Yes there's lots of bloatware to remove once you root.
3. Not sure. Its been asked a few times and no one has ever said they lost unlock status from rooting and flashing. I'd be surprised if it did, but I can't be sure.
4. No idea. Judging by #5 if you can recoup all your money it might be a good idea. As far as how much better the 9305 is, I have no idea.
5. Its been owned by 2 people before you? And its never been opened? Yeah it sounds weird. I wouldn't buy that personally. Too much risk. Lots of people get scammed from deals that start that way. Here in USA if the original owner bought it on a payment plan then sold it without fully paying for it T-Mobile would block all service to the phone. So the new buyer would be out a ton of money and have a pretty Samsung version of an iPod.
Not sure about warranty.
Couple things...I don't know how much twice as much is there, but you should be able to get an i9300 for pretty close to the same price as the T999 here. (Another reason I wonder about your purchase). If you found the T999 over here you should be able to find the other as well. Am I guessing right that you got 'a really good deal' on eBay or something like that? Be careful.
Tip: in the future try to slim you post down a bit. You had 5 points with multiple questions in each. That's a lot of asking which requires a lot of answering. I speak only for myself but I generally skip posts this long until later. I'm quite certain most people would open the thread an close it before finishing #3. (In case your wondering why you haven't got an answer yet.)
Just trying to help so don't take anything the wrong way. It just gets to be tedious, difficult and unenjoyable when there is so many questions all at once. (It took about the same time to answer you as it would to answer 5 or 6 others)
Good luck!

Thank you both for your answers - opinions.
Well to be honest my cousin is coming from NY tomorrow so i wouldnt pay extra shipping costs + country taxes. Price wasnt bad i believe 510$ even tho i knew that there were better prices but i didnt had much time for extra search. That ebay guy had very good rep but i never thought to ask if he was the 1st owner since the box was sealed. When i did asked him was 2 late. As for the differences between the two models... i learned about the different cores when was 2 late as well. I always thought that they had same core but us models had more ram. Language isnt such a problem tho.
As for my many questions. You are absolutely right. But since my cousin is flying tomorrow i was thinking if i should let him bring it with him or if i should better askk him to keep it until i sell it at ebay. Thats why all these questions. Nowdays isnt the best period for bad investments... especially in Greece...
Thanks again.

Yeah, I know sometimes there isnt enough time. Hope I was able to help you at least a little.
Was just thinking though, if you dont have or dont use tmobile over there, unlocking the phone for another carrier should bypass any potential problems with tmobile blocking it if that were the case. Also, if you are not currently a tmobile customer and using the phone on their network, they will not give you the unlock code, or so im told anyway.
$510 seems reasonable. Id have been more worried if it was $300! Still an odd situation with that though.
Only other thing I would really check on if I were you is to make sure your carrier supports the correct bands for the phone to function on their network.
It is a great phone and we have great devs. This forum is awesome too, have some great people here.
So if you keep it I guess we'll see you again!

Unlocking that phone it seems easy from i have read until now. After all since it has never been switched on probably it wont be locked etc. Of course i am not going to use t-mobile here.

Thanks again.
My classmates from Frances with 2 international versions and test against mine. It's really about the same. Sometimes mine is faster because I am on Jelly Beans and my ROM is super lean. International version chip may not support T-mobile band especially 4G so beware - 1700mhz.
My US phone is very responsive to all operation. The 4cores is better than bigger RAM but they only give you micro seconds faster in daily usage so it really don't worth the trouble.
Hey guys, first. Thank you for visiting the post and bring a little valuable knowledge.
I have a HTC ONE M7 VERIZON - currently ROOT with WeakSauce2
There is a way to get free S-OFF - other than SUNSHINE ...
android version 4.4.3 - attached screenshot so you can see the version of software.
Not possible in the current version, there is a way back to the factory system?
Thank You.
Only way to downgrade is to have s-off. For version 5.28.605.2 the only way to get unlocked and s-off is Sunshine, or pay for someone with a java card to s-off.

It is a bit ridiculous that they're taking advantage of the situation though. Verizon shouldn't be allowed to lock phones down so thoroughly that a phone model that specifically is supposed to be supported by the company's own official "developer program" is actually locked out as it is. These people are taking advantage of the fact that Verizon has done this to make quite a lot of cash. And if you have to get a different phone or something, you can't just "uninstall Sunshine" or something and reuse it. Nope. You get to buy it again. They don't even license it to one person, it's only licensed to one specific device. Simply put, they're taking advantage of everyone and getting away with it to make quite a lot of money on the process and everyone seems to be ok with that.
Now don't get me wrong here. I am not saying they shouldn't be allowed to make money. I'm sure they did a decent amount of work to find and utilize the new exploit(s) they are using and not sharing. To some extent, yeah, they should get money. Though I'm not convinced that donations alone wouldn't have been quite sufficient to more than cover their time and efforts with some small profit along the way (there are a lot of M7 users stuck with Verizon after all plus there can be advantages to Sunshine even when not on Verizon) I'll allow that they've a right to ask for money for this is general. My problem is the fact that they do that one device only for $25. That's a lot of money to run an exploit on a device one time and never again. A one user license for $25 would be a lot more fair and reasonable at least, but really I can't see why it shouldn't be more on the order of $5 or so anyway. Heck, let's say $10. But $25? They have us backed in a corner and they know it.

But wait - - someone did a sh--load of work at the risk of nice phones to create an optional work-around to allow tinkerers to play with their phones.
Why shouldn't the guys who figured out what we can't figure out be paid ??????????
I tried to get you preemptively on that. Read my edit. Sorry, it took a bit before I realized someone was going to think I was saying they shouldn't get paid at all. Simply put, I'm not against them profiting at all. I'm against the way they're taking advantage of people. I do stick to my statement that donations alone would have been sufficient though. There are a lot of people who would have been really grateful for the exploits if posted and would have donated if they asked nicely (and maybe even if they didn't ask...)

"These people" don't give a crap about what you or what Verizon does.
There is no HTC or dev program that allows you to s-off your device.
Nobody is taking advantage of you, they are offering you a service.
Either accept their service and pay what they ask for it, or don't.
But please stop this self entitled attitude that gets us nowhere and causes the few exploits and devs that make them to disappear completely.
Don't like it? Buy yourself a Java card for a few hundred bucks, or an iPhone.
If folks like these guys didn't go through burning up devices for our benefit, you would have zero options.
If they depend on the general public to be generous with donations, when giving it away for free, they would be sadly disappointed, trust me on this one...it happens a lot less then you might imagine.
People nowadays are far too content to take whatever they can and if nobody makes them give back, they won't think twice about it.
So, I really suggest ending this now, as this won't end well for you and certainly won't change anything for the better.
Only effect it could possibly have is to jeopardize your xda membership, reputation, and potentially drive away the people who worked so hard on your only real available option for s-off.
See, this is what I don't get. People will defend this sort of thing fighting tooth and nail for them even to the point of flaming and insulting others. It's silly. Ultimately things like this being locked behind a pay wall hurts the community as a whole.

I'm guessing you misunderstood what I was saying? I'm specifically referring to the official HTC developer program by which one can enter and get an unlock token to officially unlock their HTC devices: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Verizon is the only one that chooses to disallow its users from doing this and I'm only saying that this creates the situation being discussed. If, for example, there were no service in which one could not unlock their device via the official program and the only point of Sunshine was to avoid going through all that and to make it possible to effectively warranty voiding checks, then that alone might be a valid reason for it to cost. (And I personally am ok with going through the official HTC program and losing warranty officially. That was never the issue for me.)

I think you didn't really understand what I was saying. Basically Verizon has created a situation where people have no choice but to use exploits when they shouldn't have to. This, in itself, is already a not OK situation, but there's not much we can do about it short of using a different service (and some of us need various things like a particular plan/area/whatever.) The people behind Sunshine found a new exploit that works on the latest stuff (and claim it's hardware and unpatchable.) Great. But, they don't release it to the public. They keep it locked away behind a pay wall (and I'm sure the exact workings of it are encrypted and etc so people can't just reverse engineer the software easily or something.) Not just a pay wall though. They charge quite a lot for a single device. Then they don't let a user use what they paid for again ever. Nope. You get to unlock one device and that's it. Hence "taking advantage." They know we're backed up against the wall.
Either except their service and pay what they ask for it, or don't.

Who said self-entitled? I didn't say they owe it to me or something. I said this is ultimately bad for the community and the community shouldn't be happy with it and that they shouldn't charge so much for it or limit it so much. This is more a business discussion if anything. They don't owe it to me or anything, but they are still taking advantage of the situation. Essentially, it's extortion.

Oh good, then you do understand.... :good:
Good luck to you.
Before this exploit, there was firewater, moonshine, rumrunner for certain aged HTC devices, two worked on this phone. These were made by the same team that did Sunshine. They never got the income back via donations to pay for the countless bricked phones getting the exploit to work (yes, this type of exploit permanently damaged their test phones at $700 a pop.) This is why they had to resort to charging since the donations didn't make the lost money back.
Before the exploits worked on our phones, we HAD to pool money together and have a trusted member keep the java card, and pay him shipping and a fragment of the cost of the card. He made no money off this service either.
Do not sully and degrade and berate the payment wall. You bought a Verizon phone. A carrier who HATES their "customers" rooting their phones. Call Verizon support and say your phone is rooted and see their response. If you wanted an HTC phone that does work with htcdev, buy a different variant, or get the last Verizon model that did work, the Rezound.
Sunshine was made with the idea to s-off already rooted phones, unlocking Verizon variants is a side effect they don't put on the priority list. If it happens, it happens.
Edit: quick math for you. Let's say they had 20 failed attempts... For ONE device, if all 20 bricked the phone, that is $14000 $25 is reasonable given how many devices it works for and how much was spent to get it to work.

Well I never heard any dev that locked their phones on failed attempts to find exploits. Doesn't that one dev that does the exploits work for HTC or Verizon and his job is to find these exploits? I guess I see nothing wrong with charging to get your phone unlocked and rooted. Maybe the price be a little less but I doubt he made a lot of money unlocking peoples phones. If you don't want to pay for having your phone unlocked then look at getting s nexus 6 off T-Mobile. Everything works on Verizon's network and you never have to worry about having a locked boot loader.

No, beaups nor jacase work for Verizon. They frequent the blackhat convention. Most exploits they do they either sell to the bug bounty or give to the community depending on certain factors. They are not on either company's payroll.

Any cobtribution is a good one but I am not familiar with the legality either but dont see it matter unless you are posting saying thieves can use it on a stolen device.
In all honesty, ppl legitamitely forget their passwords and lock themselves out I am sure all the time and at times if you purchase the phone from a third party theres really no way to remove or bypass it without proof of purchase or replacing the device which some might not have because of how it was purchased.

I have successfully bypassed the FRP Reset Protection no matter how much security is on the phone, passcode, pattern, fingerprint. All are bypassed for a full clean factory reset.
So short answer, yes. Also there is a high likelihood that this method works on ALL variants.

From the Moderator
The bypass method would not violate any law per se. The only issue that would be in question is if you own the phone or lease it.
Under that specific lease agreement it probably has wording about applying custom software to the phone.

ESN lockout is what makes turning over a lost or stolen phone difficult. And yet there is a huge grey-market trade on ebay and other places. I image they are all going overseas to get the appropriate chips switched out for resale. And if they have an operation set up for that, physically removing the flash chip and reprograming it would be a breeze. IMHO the lockout is more of a money generator for samsung so they can charge you to unlock it if you lock yourself out.
Describing the process is no more illegal than rooting. And if you figured it out, someone else will too. Only they might not share in hopes of selling the service or profiting somehow.

Actually it would destroy or prevent a market. Markets only exist for those who know how and can do it. At the moment that is Samsung. You don't share it and Samsung makes a bit more money. Then someone else figures it out and they also don't share.... you start seeing adverts on eBay priced a bit below Samsung for the "get back into your phone!" service (or maybe it's just you trying to make a buck ;P ) If you do release it or someone else figures it out and releases it. Well,... we will still see the adverts on ebay for the techna-challenged but it will be a hell of a lot cheaper because it is a known process thus many people offering thus competition.

I bought an inexpensive Boost mobile Moto G6 Play XT1922-7 from Walmart incorrectly believing I'd be able to root and network unlock the phone. After browsing through the forum and thanks to the below-mentioned thread, I could root and install magisk on the phone (no idea what purpose these serve). Apparently, that does nothing to network unlock the phone. Also, the phone keeps notifying that some Sprint/Boost native apps are using the battery in the background. My Boost Moto E4 Plus could be unlocked using LineageOS 14.1 as shown in XDA Developers (which I sold off for cool 90 bucks on eBay just after buying this phone - haven't shipped it yet), can I expect the same for this phone? Or should I do something else? This is not my primary phone and I use an LG V20 which dies within 3 hours of screen use and I am really hoping I'd sell off that phone on eBay and use this one as my only phone.
I might sound ignorant or even stupid, please forgive and be kind.

Rooting isn't the same as unlocking. Rooting is similar to jailbreaking in Iphone terms. It allows you to have more advanced administrator privileges, etc. Allows installing of a custom rom as well. (basically you can install another operating system onto the phone, or at least a highly edited version of the one that's already on there.) But as far as unlocking? I have no idea if that's possible with Boost mobile variants.

If you do search on it, there are several companies that seem to offer Moto G6 Play unlocks--even for the Boost Mobile version--and they are in the range of $15. Who knows if they work, but they apparently have a money-back guarantee, i.e. if they cannot provide a valid unlock code, they will return your money. I have not really seen any reports of having done this successfully--particularly with the Boost Mobile version, but if you were to have success, I a sure there would be a stampede for this $79 device!
Guys, I have a new XT1922-7 now on Ressurection Remix OS Project Treble Arm Only A version. Someone, please help me restore the original ROM. I didn't backup system image.
Please help me out of this agony and someone please post the original system image.

The only one that can do that is Boost Mobile, I don't know how many times you guys have to be told this.
Hi PimpMy5Ton, that's not the case. You can unlock the network using correct radio/modem. For example, using custom ROM available for Boost Mobile Moto E4 plus, I could unlock the phone.
I'd take offense to your indignance, but it's fine, you are just unaware.
Anyone, who knows which fsg.mbn and NON-HLOS.bin would work...
Just because you got it to work on one phone like that doesn't mean it will work on all phones, if you want it unlocked the proper way talk to Boost mobile after you've had it one year
Why are you responding if you have nothing new to add? I have understood your point and thanks for that.

You'll also find several people offering it as a service on Ebay. With going through them anyways, you'd have a few levels of recourse should they not be able to unlock it.

Because of my limited experience with using any of these sites, I can't recommend a specific one with any reasonable degree of confidence. I'd hate to suggest one and then have them screw you over. But, I will say this... it would be worth the risk, considering that its $10ish for many of them. Worst case scenario is that the OP loses his 'lunch money' for the week. Right? Best case, however, is that we will have a positive experience that translates into a definitive knowledge of a working service and your $$ goes towards helping not just you and your phone, but helps the countless others who are looking for a legitimate unlocking solution.
With that said, I actually DO have experience with a specific site and a similar service that I can share. And hopefully my own experience will help you guys make a more confidant decision. Again, its not the same type of unlock you are asking about. However, it'll still provide you with valuable insight.
Long story, short version:
About 15-16 months ago, I found an iPhone SE while metal detecting around some bleachers of the softball field complex here in town. It was a Verizon branded variant. While its not my cup of tea, it's still a rather healthy performer as far as phones go. Antutu scores are well over 100,000 (with highs of up to 140,000). So naturally I was interested in giving it a shot if I could get it unlocked. This one, because it was likely reported lost by the original owner, was iCloud locked and blacklisted from being activated on any of the major provided. I did some google research and found a service with incredible reviews. I'll not give them any free advertising on here, but if you PM I'll give you more details. The service would unlock the cloud account that effectively makes the phone a high performance paperweight. And because it was reported lost/stolen, it was blocked from being used on the major carriers.
I used the *premium* service that guaranteed its removal in less than 24 hours from the blacklist, and also unlocked the icloud account. This upgraded plan was $29.98. They also offered a standard service option that took 3-5 business days, which came at a discount. $14.99 if my memory serves me correct. I was hesitant, to say the least... but I gave it a shot, just on the off chance that it gave me access to a heck of a phone. Low and behold, about 8 hours after purchasing their services, I received a phone call from an Indian man who walked me through all the details, and about 15 minutes later-- I had a *new* iphone SE... which at the time was pretty decent phone!
So yeah... I remain skeptical that most of these types of services and websites are fraudalent. But I can say from first hand experience that it IS possible.
I wish you luck. Let me know if I can help.
Have a wonderful day guys... and just remember, don't pay any attention to the rude comments from others. They seem to measure their self-worth by belittling others, at the expense of their dignity, grace, and integrity.
Like my father always said to me as a kid:
"If I only I could buy that guy for whats he's really worth... and sell him for what he THINKS he is worth... I'd be able to retire today." HAHA!

But the dude wasn't wrong. You can't unlock this phone by flashing lineage. It doesn't work like that anymore. You can't even do it with the e4 anymore (op said he did with e4) now with the last couple OTA updates. They locked them down.
They have qfuses in place as well which are tripped as soon as you boot the device for the first time with the original sim in it.
One way to avoid this is to remove the original sim before you ever boot the device. No Wi-Fi, no connectivity at all. And skip through the setup wizard.
Then it may be possible to try a different network sim. But this may not even work with this device since there are really no custom ROMs for it (aside from GSI that need fixes to work)

I have an idea. If you know where the UICC unlock option is controlled in the firmware, then you may be able to hex edit the carrier unlock for yourself. My best suggestion is to try running a log when selecting the UICC unlock option in settings, then see what it talks to. What you're after isn't impossible, it's just difficult. Don't give up.

Being right or wrong has no bearing on one's attitude and actions.
As you can see, I didn't even get into the actual meat of the subject. I was simply bidding a good day and sending positive vibes towards someone who was poorly treated and spoken to by another.
Thank you for your response and information. It appears you have a deep understanding of the issue, and we all appreciate that.
Most all phones are locked on the carrier side now. I have people ask all the time about it at work and just have to turn them away because only the carrier can.
thats not true
I have successfully unlocked around 65 phone that were locked to boost (I work there part time) I get access to all phones an am in the process of doing this one now if no one resolves I will post the correct meathod. first have to unlock bootloader which can be done by going to motorola offical page then click on dev mode or something at bottom with the word developer then follow instrructions ill post more when get to that point just wanted to make it clear if it has gsm mode and the right tech experience anything is possible .

The only one that can do that is Boost Mobile, I don't know how many times you guys have to be told this.
