So I've heard about bootloader unlocking which, I guess, enables me to have full control over the device (not like rooting, I understand that) and to do stuff like flashing new ROMs, etc.
But what about network unlocking? I mean, I'd like to be able to use my phone on any network I wish, do I need to unlock the bootloader for that? Do the network restrictions automatically disappear if I unlock the bootloader?
Also, is there anyway I can disable network restrictions by myself (without using something like a special SIM card or asking for remote unlocking) without having to pay for any unlocking service or ask someone to do it for me?
Thanks in advance! :3

Hi, so to answer your question, when you unlock the bootloader the sim lock remains, also afaik there are no "free" ways in which to remove the sim lock at this moment in time, the only way is to get the unlock code from your service provider or pay a remote unlocking service.
I think i may have seen on the arc forum somewhere for a small fee you can get your boot loader unlocked and sim unlocked at the same time.
One last note if your arc is sim locked there is a chance that you wont be able to unlock the bootloader via sony ericsson developer world, depending on your carrier

That means it's also possible to unlock the boot loader remotely?
Also, if there's someone who can do it for us (small fees inc.), that means there's actually a way to do it, right?

Yes there is a way to do it, i cant remember how much it costs exactly, but it's done remotely and sim unlocks and boot loader unlocks at the same time
And is it something I can do by myself?

If someone else can do this as a paid service. Why can't someone explain how its done and make it available for free?

As for that i cannot answer.. But at a guess a lot of hard work will have gone into this. It keeps drm intact, provides Sim unlock and enables fast boot on handsets which didn't have it before, if i was in that situation with my arc i would have gladly paid, and i myself think the Dev/Devs are entitled to some hard earned cash

The boot loader can be unlocked whilst keeping drm intact?
Now that is something id be interested in paying for know anyone who would be able to do this?
Found a Pixel XL for sale with FRP lock, two things, should I run since this thing might be stolen, and secondly, can this be fixed with a reflash of factory image, or am I screwed if I buy this?
The frp will still show up if you reflash the factory image. I personally would not buy it.
Don't buy it. FRP is difficult/impossible to bypass.
Highly likely it was a stolen phone, likely a phone stolen from a shipment.
Frp google pixel
it can be by pass with xtc2clip very easy if u have bootloader unlocked.
WTF is FRP lock and why should anyone care?
@Tmender,
Yes, it's highly likely that it's been stolen. You should check if the IMEI has been blacklisted, at a minimum.

Factory Reset Protection from Android. Phones are now locked to the Google account that is put on them. You have to properly remove them before you sell a phone or else it won't work.

How is xtc2clip going to work with the pixel? I know HTC was the manufacturer but it isn't an HTC phone and the website says nothing about pixel support.
Edit; from Gsm-forum:
xtc2clip 12/23
Hello,
Sorry, Pixels are not supported by XTC 2 Clip.

Hello guys!
I have next problem:
My sister had factory reset her device, and she forgot her google account, which were used for this smartphone.
Now, when we try to start the phone with different account, we are facing FRP, and we can't use the phone.
As it appeared USD Debbuging and Bootloader are locked. Firmware: 7.1.2 (N2G47Z, Jul 2017)
May someone guide me how to start this device?
Thank you in advance!
There is no way to bypass or remove FRP. Your best bet is to contact your carrier.
I did remove FRP from 5X August security patch, I can try to help you... Do you have telegram, so that we can chat?

That's wrong!, I did remove FRP on my 7.1.2 through the help of these guys https://www.facebook.com/giaiphapandroid
They connected to my pc via teamspeak and you connect your phone to it. They use Lg flashing software I belive to completely reset the phone to stock. Had to pay 20 US dollars, I was very skeptical at first but heard they were legit.
is possible to bypass that, i did it few days ago
this is the easiest way if you have the 32gb version

If it is indeed the FRP lock then you have two options:
Input the last used google account information and password. Then perform a factory data reset to turn off the FRP lock
If you purchased or was given the phone contact the person whom you received it from and get the google account information. After entering the account and once your able to use the device perform a factory data reset to disable FRP lock
Otherwise no other help can be offered because the FRP lock is an anti-theft measure. If it was your google account last used and you don't remember your username/password then contact google for help. If you purchased or were given the device then you need to return it and/or get your back.
It is important to remember that when you sell/buy a phone (or give it to another person) it is important to always perform a factory data reset on the device. By performing a factory data reset you remove the google account information and disable the FRP lock.
Thank you, none of these options come into play. There is no way to get rid of this situation with this software? ;(.. Regards

FRP lock is enabled because a google account was present on the phone. In order to remove the FRP lock you need to input the Google account information and perform a factory data reset after your able to access the settings menu.
Was it your google account information that was last used on the phone or someone else's?
Granted it would be helpful if you put a little more info on what it is your trying to do exactly with the phone and what happened leading up to the issue (example: Are you trying to flash firmware to it, are you trying to root it (if root exists for the model), did you buy the phone, did someone give it to you, etc)
It is plain clear that the device is from an unclear origin, a legally owned device can ALWAYS be serviced ultimately by samsung or carrier, whichever one does it in such or such country, when people says it is "imposible" then for sure, they have no legal proof of ownership
I just found that OP posted a similar situation in the honor 10 section, back in 2018, in which of course nobody offered help, as it looked suspicious

The phone had a google account, I did a hard reset. And the blockade popped out. I can go to the Samsung website but I will have to pay for this service. I wanted to rotate the device. I'm not a layman, I know a little about phones. However, this model had the latest firmware. I am not a thief and I have documents for this device.

The device is legally bought, I just do not want to go to the site and pay for removing the lock, it is an authorized service on this latest Android.

Factory data reset disables FRP lock. If that is what you did then you shouldn't be getting a prompt. Since you can't enter the Google account information it is apparent it was not your Google account last used.
Unfortunately having papers saying you bought it doesn't mean the phone was obtained legitimately. The person you got it from may not have had the right to sell it.
I suspect there is more going on here then meets the eye.
If Samsung said they really can fix it go that route.
The proper ways to get help with FRP lock have been posted.
Recover the Google account and log in as usual, or seek official help from Samsung. Any other means will not be discussed on XDA.
Hello.
Is there any other way to root my poco f3 without waiting for the 168-hour bootloader to unlock, which must be unlocked via the miunlockflash tool?
Thanks

No. Even if there was: NEVER FLASH SOMETHING WITHOUT THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED. If you do you have a very high risk of a SOFT BRICK meaning you have to send your phone to a service centre
Don't want to intercept this thread but just wanted to ask. Will I need to have my phone turned off while waiting for the 1 week period or can I just use it normally?
