Is there any way almost four years since the release of the device to OEM unlock the Verizon variant?

Bootloader is not eligible for unlock (not at all surprised) for the XT2075-2. Has anyone found a way to unlock the bootloader or generate a bootloader unlock key (even if it is a paid service)? Worst case, it would be nice if there was a root exploit that could be used.
Well this is frustrating. I bought the unlocked version xt-2075-3, but received the ATT version (xt2075-2) It appears the unlocked version doesnt have 5G for USA anyway... So I am ok with the ATT version... But youre saying I cant root this thing? Wtf?
anyone knows if this model bootloader could be unlocked?
The w22 is just the "new" Chinese variant of the fold 3 that has 16gb ram. So it should be unlockable. If you don't have the developer option to toggle oem unlock, you might have to wait 7 days for it to become available
And if you are asking if it can be unlocked AND have the cameras still work, no idea at this time.
Hello,
I've got a refurbished Pixel 3 XL with an US VZ Board. The interesting thing is that on this device is the normal variant of the firmware installed without any Verizon stuff. So now I wanted to unlock the bootloader and OEM Unlocking is greyed out. So my thought now is that maybe the device was bootloader unlocked to flash the firmware variant without Verizon stuff and then relocked. Without Verizon firmware there shouldn't be anything blocking OEM Unlocking.
Am I right that I just need to wait about 7 days before I am allowed to enable OEM Unlocking?
Tell me if I'm wrong with something.
Thanks
Since T-Mobile will release a temporarily full phone unlock, isn't there anyway for a developer get the bootloader unlock and sim unlock source from inside the phone since it's unlocked? It sounds weird that developers take months to get a sim unlock and the carrier can do an unlock any way they like. There should be a method to push an unlock on any android phone remotely. Do i make sense?
A sim unlock has nothing to do with a bootloader unlock. T-Mobile SIM unlocked my S22 the day i got it, a few days before release.
My pixel 3 XL bought and paid for is still locked. Actually it was a mess when an update to os12 from os10. Now I've fixed that with new self loaded updates.
What I can't figure out is why has there not been a law suit against Verizon for not carrier unlocking my phone and make it almost impossible to unlock my bootloader.
To me Verizon has held me hostage to their service. That's called Monopoly.. I've called and they say it's unlocked. I sent them pics of the locked notice . It is my phone now and nothing should be unavailable to my wants.
Any suggestions on any issues. Unlocking my bootloader is most important.
Thanks
There is carrier unlocking and bootloader unlocking and they are two very different things.
Carrier unlocked means that you are free to take your device and use it on a different carrier. If you bought the device through Verizon, your device can usually be carrier unlocked once the device is paid off in full. You can buy carrier unlocked phones (like from Google) and bring them to the carrier of your choice.
Bootloader unlocked means that you have unlocked the bootloader and are able to install the operating system of your choice. Pixel phones bought from Google's store without association of a carrier have a trivial process to unlock the bootloader. Devices bought from Verizon or with a Verizon sim card are generally shipped with an encrypted bootloader meant to prevent you from unlocking the bootloader. It might be possible to unlock them, but generally people don't waste their time trying. Verizon will not let you unlock the bootloader.
