Does anyone know of another way to unlock my SIM other than the before method because I believe it has been patched cuz I woke up this morning hadn't reset my phone nothing and it would tell me my sim was not supported
You might want to be more specific. Which variant of Pixel 6 do you have (which carrier)? Which previous method are you talking about?
To clarify, are you looking for SIM (carrier) unlock, or bootloader unlock, or both?
Also, do any of these threads in this search result for the word unlock in thread-titles only in this section help?
Yeah you're right. I didn't think of that lol Stoner moment I have the T-Mobile Google Pixel 6 pro and I was doing the factory reset and then enter ADB command and shell to temporary unlock SIM and now it's not working at all. So I was just trying to see if anyone knew of another workaround other than you know the usual call T-Mobile and give them the sob story

You have to pay for the phone.. if you can somehow switch to verizon you might be able to get them to turn off sim lock, but the phone has to be paid off by you or verizon/att

Hi I tried this method and yes it works I have a p6p from att and did this phone worked great on verizon I used it like that for a couple of days . But I ended up paying for a code using a site now that I got the confirmation I did a factory reset and I'm now able to toggle the oem unlock setting under develor options. Also it worked with my verizon sim with no problem after the reset.
Now just need to find some free time and try the adb bootloader unlock command.

It told me it needed 1 to 3 days to get the code. I did it on a Friday at around 1:30 got my confirmation email on yesterday Monday at around 7pm. Sundays and Saturdays don't count as business days. Now it turns out that they unlock it on their own or something like that. I didn't received a code on the email it was just stated that it was unlock. I was worried at first because I was expecting a code. I check the developer options and the oem unlock was greyed out I wasn't able to toggle it on. I said I'm going to try a factory reset. I did just that on the setup process I put my Verizon sim and it work with no problem and I was now able to turn on the oem setting

Its shouldn't hold anything from T-Mobile except your progress call in screen, i think it shows T-Mobile in the banner.
I would reflash it.
So I have been doing some extensive research on unlocking methods for the LG G2. I think I am close to something but I have hit a wall. I need someone to test something for me to confirm if it's me or sprint.
Please in your dialer insert this : ##4433386368#
Then go to FW and tap the OMA-DM.
Can you guys see this menu?
Or does it crash?
Please post your results let's get this thing unlocked!
Please only post if you haven't called sprint to unlock yet.
Has anyone tried this yet?
I just tried it. It said unfortunately service program has stopped.
I think that is for MSL, I an on Custom ROM and can't check dialer codes with out flashing back to stock.

OK so it looks like something is keeping us from entering these settings. This OMA-DM menu is what HTC one users used to unlock the HTC one. Also what sprint uses to unlock the device themselves. THis is what manages OTA updates.
Edit: If anyone finds a way to get into this OMA-DM menu, or know how to edit it, please post here, would be much appreciated.
Can anyone tell me what the Sprint LG G2 equivalent for this is? This is how they unlocked the HTC ONE for international use and I am trying to see if it might work with the LG G2 also.

i think i may have successfully unlocked my phone!
here's what i did:
Code:
am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity
tap on "API"
scroll down to the bottom and tap on "sim lock"

Ok SO I figured out that the vmdc.apk in the LG G2 is actually called Update Device. Now to find a way to edit that so we can unlock this baby!
Done a lot of work in trying to get close to unlocking it, using a lot of the Terminal emulator, I was wondering if anyone has gotten their G2 unlocked by sprint yet and explain me how the process went.

Hi there, i too have a Sprint G2 that needs the sim unlock. For all i know, if Sprint make the unlock on their server, all you have to do is to go to System Updates menu and select the UICC Unlock
Hope you can find a solution for us, finger crossed.

Yeah I am trying to find what value they change, or if they add a value, when they update it, all the strings for phone unlock are all here on the phone, I just have not come around to finding a trigger yet.

Another interesting find is that in the service programming via qpst, the user data profile is locked and cannot be changed. And the phone does not have built in EPST function.

I've decompiled most of the apks that have something to do with OMADM and Sim Unlocks, Havent Found anything other than a "DmcTestSimLockTestMenu" option on the hidden Menus, now when I open that, I get the menu and there are three Options:
1 Set DB for Normal mode
2 Set DB for Test mode
3 Check timetable
Now both of those first options do nothing towards SIM unlocking, so I'm not sure where to go from here, but if anyone has some insight into this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Also, could anyone that has actually gone to sprint and asked them for the unlock, and got it granted, tell me what happened, how it happened, and if you've tested it to work.
Thank you

Yes there is a ICC menu in LG's Hidden Menu APK, but nothing there is editable(at least from the menu itself), just shows the ICC info.

I would think Sprint only allow OTA edit of the ICC value so to change the SIM lock status.
If we can find the way to edit the value of the ICC then it should be done. Need to find which physical address the menu pulls data from?
Yup, that would solve it, I don't know if it's allowed, but I have decompiled the apk, am I allowed to post that part of the code here so you can take a look at it?
Hi,
I just purchased a used T-Mobile G3 that I will be using on AT&T. Does anyone have any pointers on how to SIM unlock it? Is there a preferred method, or preferred supplied on eBay for unlock codes?
Thanks,

OK, so I bought a code there, and 5 hours later is still hasn't arrived. So I bought a code from these guys: http://www.imei-unlocker.com/ which did come through. However, there are no instructions, so I found some on YouTube for the G3, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TFWgPX5Al8
The trouble is, when I put in my AT&T SIM card into this T-Mobile phone and start it up, I am not prompted to unlock the phone at all. It starts right into Android and behaves like an unlocked phone except it says the network is locked when I try to make a call. That's it. No indication anywhere of how to access the unlocking mode. I'm stuck.
Edit: I found these instructions on T-Mobile's website, which confirm the method in the video:
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-11974
Edit #2: about half hour after I wrote this the unlock code came through from the first site. I still no idea how to get past not being prompted to unlock, though.
Thanks,
Toby.
OK, resolved, if it helps anyone.
I managed to find an alternative method somewhere else that doesn't rely on an alien SIM card prompting an unlock code.
So the code from unlockcode247.com did eventually arrive, but without any instructions. A couple of hours after ordering it I gave up and bought a code from somewhere else. The email with that code took about 20 hours (!) to arrive, despite their page saying it would take a maximum of 2 hours. Bah! At least it contained a range of instructions on different methods to unlock in addition to the basic one of putting in an alien SIM. Someone might find these useful:
Method #1 Go to the dial screen and press “2945#*model number#”
for example if its a p999 you enter “2945#*999#” or if its a p990 you enter “2945#*990#” etc…
[so that's 851 for my T-Mobile phone.]
Method #2 to the dial screen and press 2945#*71001# as if making a call, enter code when prompted
Method #3 Go to the dial screen and press *#865625# as if making a call, enter code when prompted

I do find it strange that the phone didn't react to an alien SIM, but oh well, it's great that there's another way around it. All unlocked fine now.
do not use imei-unlocker
I ordered 2 days ago from imei-unlocker but no response, i have sent them various emails but no response.
On the website It says delay for lg services. Maybe thats why?

Since this was a used phone it is possible that someone tried and failed unlocking it more than the maximum allowed tries.
I know whenever I have unlocked a phone, the prompt to unlock warns that you have x number of tries (I do not remember that number).
Also, I do not know if there is a way around it.

As long as you don't have any debt to T-Mobile don't they need to have a free solution to unlock your phone? For example if I called them right now they would unlock me for free even though I still have debt because I have had the phone for 6+ months. People got it unlocked through T-Mobile days after buying the phone by just saying they were going abroad.

I believe he has his unlock code. The problem is that when he boots up the phone with a different carrier's sim in it, it is not prompting him to enter an unlock code as it should.
Looking at my unlock instructions, I proposed the posibbility that someone tried and failed 10 times or more. Just guessing:
Read This First
* DO NOT use all attempts to enter the unlock code otherwise your phone will be hardlocked (all phones have at least 10 attempts)
* Make sure "Airplane Mode" and "Wi-Fi" is turned off under wireless connections if your LG is an Android device.
It also has other methods for trying. Perhaps another method will work:
Method #1 Insert a non accepted simcard, and enter code when prompted for a code
OR
Method #2 Go to the dial screen and press “2945#*model number#”
for example if its a p999 you enter “2945#*999#” or if its a p990 you enter “2945#*990#” etc…
OR
Method #3 to the dial screen and press 2945#*71001# as if making a call, enter code when prompted
OR
Method #4 Go to the dial screen and press *#865625# as if making a call, enter code when prompted
Quick question.... I just got my unlock code from Tmo. I was wondering if the unlock is retained no matter how much somebody may root/unroot/change ROMs/etc. Is it a "forever" thing? Or just for the current setup? Oh and do I unlock with Tmo SIM in or with the ATT one?
*Edit* oops replied to the op, disregard this post.

Bump is for a bootloader unlock, not for a sim unlock. But you can find it here (ONLY USE WITH KITKAT).
Just contact the carrier via their support site, open a chat session and request an unlock code. There's no charge, and you'll receive it during the session. You could also try the Mobile Device Unlock app if on T-Mobile...

Same problem
Hey guys, I'm having the same problem
I own a D855 phone bought at SFR (in France), I'm about to change of carrier but SFR made a mistake when they created my unlock code, so now they are contacting LG to have a new code, but it'll be too long... (up to 4 weeks)
I'm sure there might be a way to unlock a network without to have to pay, right ? Don't know, maybe a file to edit or replace or something like that ?
My carrier will be automatically changed in about 2 days, and I wont be able to use my carrier services network anymore in 2 days if my phone/network isn't unlocked.... So no more texts, no more calls, ...
I'm using Fulmics ROM & last Xceed kernel
Thanks
UPDATE : I bought an unlock code on https://www.freeunlocks.com but they gave me the same code that my carrier gave me. This code doesn't work...
I really need help, any way to unlock my phone and use it with my new carrier please....
I'm trying to figure out if I should like try one of these third party websites that offer to get the actual unlock code. However, they do it and if any of them are really incredible. I've looked at a few and some seemed credible but I have a feeling it's going to boil down to me giving them my money and me of misreading or misinterpreting what they were selling. Like a play on words type deal. Does anyone have any resources perhaps for me to network unlock my device? Or is there like anyway like I could pay somebody like a ethical hacker to do it?
Try here. https://www.androidsimunlock.com/
I don't know if you've already tried but If I were you I would install another carrier simcard and check if it works. I purchased a locked P6P (I was told it's locked) and just installed another simcard with no issues, just swapped one card to another.
btw before doing that go and enable Developer options in Settings and check if you can enable OEM unlocking.
