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?

Hey,
I have an Galaxy Nexus and i have rooted it and unlocked the bootloader as the lockstate says unlocked. However, when I used my sim card it ask's me for the the sim unlock code.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

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.
Hi I bought an eBay phone from the US t mobile unlocked the bootloader it wasnt a problem.Then I want to ask if there is any option on the flash rom for the EU or to have the SIM unlock network?
Phone can only be sim unlocked with the device unlock app installed on the phone. Unlock the phone first before trying to flash another ROM, the unlock app only works on the stock firmware.
I want to unlock the bootloader of my Mix2 but I can't insert the sim card linked to my MI account for some reason. Is there a way for me to unlock it? Does it work if it's any sim card? What are my options. Thanks for the help.
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.
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
