Hello everyone, I'm from Brazil and my brother sent an LG LS980 G2 Unlocked the USA. However, I am unable to use it here in Brazil. Here in Brazil most networks are GSM, including that I have the Sim Card.
When I put my Sim Card in the phone it just does not recognize it, the symbol of the Sim Card appears and the "x" on top. I've tried to unlock it with the method you have here, just that every time Telephony.dat delete a file it back to restart. Currently I am using the version of the software: LS980ZVC - Android version: 4.4.2
Would like to help me as I use to unlock even here in Brazil.
Ps: When I put the phone to get on GSM network, it recognizes all available in my city.

Hi there, double post alarm sorry, but im only giving the expose and linking the rest to keep it short:
so origninal post Note 2 LTE - suddenly sim locked again ???, as "Droidriven" pointed out, i should have posted this in the appropriate device specific forum from the very start perhaps, so this is my 2nd try:
..so allmost ready to let it go, but with a glimps of hope out there...depending ou you guys...
the History(expose):
The phone: Samsung Galaxy Note2 GT-N7105 LTE ( t0lte ): initially locked to the Austrian Carrier A1, but i bought it allready unlocked.
2013 - root via clockworkmod and wanam light rom - later only minor changes - 2016 - updated recovery to TWRP 3.0.2 and cyanogenmod 13.0 - 20161118-NIGHTLY (Marshmallow juhu!! cool!!)
...suddenly not reachable via cellular network. Still able to make phonecalls and reachable via landline (pretty strange...) - Simcard-swap gave me request for SIM-unlock code
..so from now on no calls or whatever ..no signing on to the network at all
imei and baseband intact - only noticable alteration was unattended update to cm-13.0-20161122-NIGHTLY
-> reverted to stock - didnt help
unlock via free unlock methods aswell as paid attempts didnt either...
dd-ing back old backups: PIT-File and EFS-partition and Flashing original original Stock via Kies...no use...still locked
GalaxSIM unlock says unsupported Model - purchased Unlock code (including unfreeze code) no use....im stuck!!!
:crying:
What do you guys think? ...any suggestions
if you're confused (..as i am), check out the whole story
Thanks for any help in advance...
When you mention sim unlock code, are you referring to a code to unlock the sim or carrier/network unlock code?
I've never personally come across a situation where a phone re-locked to the original carrier after unlocking with a code or using a free method. This includes flashing ROMs, bootloaders, and modems to an s2, s3, s4, note 2, note 3, and note 4..

The quickest solution may be to buy an unlock code from eBay. Unlocking by code should be permanent.
My phone Samsung GT-N7100 how to convert 4G
Hey Everyone!
I was fooled into buying a Oneplus 7T, which I was told, was SIM unlocked.
Once I got the phone and inserted my SIM, a message popped up saying it is network locked to T-Mobile.
I tried using the T-Mobile Device Unlock app but it did not work. (Some kind of error message)
Is there any way to unlock the phone since all i have the imei number of the phone only
Also sorry about this being my first post
Hopefully there is a way to unlock the carrier
Unfortunately you can't bypass this, so to unlock your device you have to request it from T-Mobile if you meet the requirements.
OR You can follow this thread and your new best friend will unlock it for you.
On a side note: Learn how to search, that way you save yours and others time.

In a phone that is SIM-locked, the firmware needs to find a specific pattern in a portion of the SIM card's identification number (IMSI). This portion of the IMSI identifies the country in which the SIM card was issued and the service provider which sold the sim card.
If these do not match the specific country and/or service provider to which the phone is locked, then the firmware will refuse to use the SIM card.
If the firmware includes a SIM-lock, generally the ROM is powerless to do anything about it. And to unlock it you need to follow a specific procedure that network operator or the phone manufacturer offers.
That's why the phone will remain SIM-unlocked even after you switch to a different ROM.
From the above you get that the lock exists in the firmware, not in the ROM.
Maybe my phone was not locked at TMobile central and only at rom level. I'm just happy I can use non TMobile provider for cheaper cost (Mint mobile is $20/mo for 10gb data and unlimited talk/text). I couldn't before converting as it rejected non TMobile sim, but could afterwards
Please any help on how to sim unlock my Tmobile oneplus 7t? Third party unlocks are too expensive for me. Unless anyone knows a cheaper unlock service below $30?

Mint uses T-Mobile towers. So a T-Mobile device doesn't need to be SIM unlocked, in order to use Mint.
The same goes for Metro or any other carrier that uses T-Mobile towers
Not possible unlock

Might be a silly question, but have you tried contacting T-Mobile?
I'm trying to root and update my friends T-Mobile 7T (HD1907) to the most recent generic ROM. She's leaving the country and has no need or desire to keep the T-Mobile branding, and getting on a generic ROM seems like it will allow for faster updates.
I've seen some threads that look like they might help, but having had issues in the past with other attempts on other phones, I know that one little oversight can cause HOURS of frustration.
So I figured I'd ask first and try to save the drama this time.
Where can I get the correct ROM to do what I want on this phone?
I have TWRP installed and have rooted with Magisk.
Current build # is 10.0.3 HD63CB
Carrier configuration version is 2.370001
I appreciate any help on this, thanks!

The key is to force reboot into bootloader mode when u get stuck on pink T-Mobile bootscreen after first "flash-all" script so u can repeat this "flash-all" second try which will then work.
Thanks for that. I managed to unlock the bootloader and update to Oxygen OS 11.0.7.1.HD65AA, which I believe is the most recent global ROM.
The model of the phone still shows HD1907, which I thought should change from the T-Mobile model to the global model in this process, but perhaps this is normal.
Everything seems to be working fine, but I'm a bit concerned it won't update properly if its not entirely "converted" to the global model.
I did the same. All working fine though. It brought me unlocked bootloader to flash the dual sim firmware or global. All works. Only concern I have is ..The unlock bootloader ticker in dev options shows greyed out "Already Unlocked" but, the ticker is in the off position to the left which is odd. My friends was done by token but mine using patched boot msm. Any reason to be concerned ? Perhaps that's going to hinder the re lock and possible re unlock ?
Some quick tips what I did to my new OP9 Pro Tmob LE2127 on CE22 firmware here in Canada! Picked the phone up a few days ago and loved it right away but hated all the Tmob crap they installed. Tried converting with the Fastboot method and managed to brick the phone as I'm running Linux and its a little more tricky if your not a Linux pro! It unbricked very easily with the MSM back to Tmob tool and an old laptop on Windoz 10. Make sure setup the HUSB Qualcomm drivers properly! Than some reading and realized you can only go from TMob to EU rom with the MSM tool. Tried that worked perfectly the first time did all the subsequent OTA updates all the way to the current Oxygen OS 13 & Android 13 and its working perfectly. At first there were some weird SIM modem dropping and data issues but as I upgraded to newer versions of Oxygen it cleared it self up. Still says two sims in the mobile network area but identifies them correctly also the phone identifies as a LE2123 now! I also didnt unlock my bootloader but I did get an unlock.bin just incase that process took only overnight, I submitted and recieved the Unlock Bin the next morning it shows up in your One Plus account and you download it! Hope that helps some one out and issues I will report back! Phone is very smooth now!

I'm on the fence about that right now the phone is running really smooth and fast I will give it a few days see how it goes!
I received (another and hopefully final) my op9pro the other day. Powered it up and noticed the OEM unlock was in blue and it still is after updating to the latest version. T-Mobile is giving me a hard time on getting my SIM unlocked. Probably because I bought it from Amazon. Want to attempt but I have seemed to have forgotten if root is still achievable with Sim being locked. Sorry been away for a year, you know iphone things.(throws up in mouth). Good phones though for battery life
If anyone has a locked sim,converted and rooted,please do tell if it is possible I don't need the steps,just confirmation that it works. Thanks

It's 100% sure, possible. I immediately converted my 9pro to Eu on day 1, while sim locked. I bypassed the toggle with a tool in the forum but there's also an adb command available for making the oem unlock toggle work.
This includes root and unlocked bootloader while sim locked.
The thing to be aware of is, the T-Mobile variants have a different bootloader unlock process vs non carrier variants. You submit an unlock token to OnePlus and get an unlock bin back, then flash that bin. Lately, people have been reporting the site is broken and they're using support email/chat to submit and get the token. However, this different process can also be bypassed:
Right after you do the Tmo->Eu msm conversion, it's advised to unlock the bootloader on Android 11. Android 11 on Eu will not need the unlock.bin to unlock the bootloader. But it is needed for later versions so if you want bootloader unlocked, do it right after conversion while still on A11.
The "problem" is, once you do this, if you want to sim unlock the phone later, you have to go back to stock Tmo firmware with the stock Tmo MSM tool, as the built in unlocker is not in Eu or other variants. Which means you will have to wipe data later whenever you want to get it unlocked.
it took me 6 Agents at Tmo chat support to finally get the unlock handled properly. One agent asked me to submit my proof of purchase and I did but they couldn't figure out how to unlock it because of the imei starting with 99 and they only know how to unlock imei starting with 35. Thankfully someone else did know how and they got it sorted after a week or so. Some agents told me it needs to be on the network for 40 days, some said they can't do it because I didn't buy it from T-Mobile, some said I need to wait longer. None were true. I told them I'm a developer and needed to unlock my bootloader to test things for my job.
Here's a link to the tool I used for making the oem unlock toggle work despite sim lock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ader-unlock-enabler-engineer-decrypt.4380419/

I'm sure its possible. If someone wants to get you up and running. But honestly, it's better to learn it yourself in case something happens and you end up without a phone cause you didn't want to learn. It seems rough but once you get it you're golden bro. Tough it out and smash them wires in the phone/computer, and open a terminal and tap away at the keyboard. If all else fails, slap the phone and)or computer around and show em who's boss
I personally had to go to AA as BA/EU was giving me a nightmare of a time with data
Just an update on my 2127 Tmob to 2123 EU conversion! Its working flawless guys I didnt bother unlocking the bootloader when I did the conversion even though I do have the unlock bin. It only took overnight to get the unlock bin this was a few weeks ago! The phone now is working really good everything is flawless still on a locked boot loader which is fine its working smooth and taking updates another OTA update came today! Running A13 Oos 13 LE2123_11_F74.
Which version of MSM tool is best for this conversion?

Yes everything is working good!
Question:
1.Enabling dual sim will add another IMEI to the device, so the original IMEI is duplicated or you get a new IMEI for it? In my country duplicate IMEI's aren't allowed hence asking
2. I remember there was a dual sim patch for OP8T and there were rumors of losing dual sim capability after update is that the same here?
