I understand what u mean, i was in your position too, when i bought my Sharp aquos crystal x 402sh which was locked to softbank , i researched alot and came across nothing, only option is to send phone to him to unlock, he is most reliable and quickest , otherwise u will have a locked phone.
your choice,

Wait a minute... Are you saying you are using Sharp Aquos Crystal X in the US!? If that's the case please explain how you did it and what carrier you are on.

I also have an Sharp Aqous Crystal 402SH phone but its also locked with Softbank. Is there already a method now that we can use aside from sending the phone to someone else?Thank you

T-mobile unlock bootloader?

Hi I am wondering if i purchased a gs8 outright will tmobile unlock the bootloaded for me?

Lol no... They will unlock the sim at 45 days of service

Ah thanks. It seems pretty ****ty that even though you pay for a phone outright they do not want you to do what you want on it. That should be illegal lol

Sad but true. You could have had better luck if you got the Verizon or even the AT&T version instead. Spending 5 minutes by googling each carriers sim unlock policy could have given you all the answers beforehand. Our country and cell phone providers are extremely shady regarding sim unlocking our phones

You have to buy the Exynos version. I've imported phones in the past to do stuff like that. Got three Motorola phones from other countries, via eBay and other sources -- running them on AT&T, bootloader unlocked. $700 each for the first two.

He said unlock the bootloader not sim unlock big difference there.

Of course but anyone smart enough to post a thread all by themselves has to know these are never going to have the bootloader unlocked so its safe to assume he meant sim unlock instead. Who contacts the cell phone provider to unlock the bootloader? The carrier at best can sim unlock it they dont even know a bootloader. Samsung reps dont even have a clue if you asked them. Everybody who cares about the boot loaders already knows the status

Nah i know the difference. I just figured i'd ask about it lol

Everybody who knows anything learned it from an external source. There are that are bootloader locked until the phone is paid off then it is both SIM and bootloader and lot but only for selected phones. Not all but some. The Google Pixel is a good example of that. You can pay it off completely and in x days unlock the bootloader. The OP probably heard something along these lines and wondered if this courtesy was available for its phone. Unfortunately it's not for the T-Mobile variant and maybe others but I don't know about them. I also am waiting for a policy change that maybe we're allowed to get into the phones that we fully own. One last thing everyone is as smart as every teacher allowed them to be.

As it’s been said many many many times here
That’s because you can’t unlock the boot loader. It’s not unlockable....
If you where wanting root or to use the device on another carrier other than sprint you shouldn’t if updated.

If you updated no. If you want gsm unlock you can try remote unlock. But your honestly better off buying a different model of the G5 if your trying to use it on another carrier other than sprint.

Remote unlock is where you pay someone to unlock your phone like on eBay as an example.
There’s tons of posts on it here. In my option Never buy a sprint device unless your gonna use it on sprint.
Now if you was sold the phone as unlocked I’d request a return/refund

Samsung Galaxy S8 Xfinity Mobile

Hello. I have recently purchased a samsung galaxy s8 that was on xfinity mobile and the orginal owner didnt know his account info so he couldnt unlock the device. I have been trying for days now trying to unlock it and i dont have any money right now. Could someone please unlock my device. I switched the rom to a g950u1 hoping it would unlock it which it didnt. All it did was remove the bloatware. I can't call or text anyone and its really been annoying me. It just says Invalid Sim Card, and ask for a unlock code. i was hoping if someone could unlock my device for free, i would greatly appreciate it. I dont have any money but if someone play's PC games i can give someone a gta 5 account for just the trouble you will have to go through. i am extremely desperate.
Heres my phone info
Model Number: SM-G950U1
SERIAL NUMBER: R28K3448P4E
IMEI: 356353081744156
BUILD NUMBER:R16NW.G950U1UES5CRF5
and the carrier code is, CSS.
I would be extremely gratefull if you could unlock it. Have a great day and please respond ASAP! Thanks!

Is your phone locked to a certain sim network and you want to unlock it to any network, or does your phone ask for the google account that was used on the phone to unlock?

No the phone is fully working I just cant use my carrier on it. It's a xfinity mobile phone normally. And I want to unlock it so I can use it for At&t

There isn't a free way to do it, you can do it yourself by googling something like "Samsung galaxy s8 unlocking service from xfinity", it will cost you anywhere from 10-40 dollars to get your phone unlocked, but imo you are better off going into a local shop and getting someone to do it that know what websites aren't scams

It's not cheap wise either I have unlocking software and regular means did not work on mine. I am a xfin customer. The unlock code is like a 15 digit msl code. We had to brute force mine it took several hours to read. And get the code. Your going t have to pay. Xfinity probably won't do it either even the software I got it Has to be unlocked using the same tool t mobile s8 uses and costs quite a bit

yea I just tried my softwre again on my 2nd s8 and it wont unlock any thing as it gets updated all the time
I did get
on mine get
the network subset lock off
sp lock off
and the CP lock off
But the actual network lock is still on
I would look for legit online unlocks and when you message them let them know it has to be read as a tmobile type device Dont know why But that was the only way to get mine unlocked

I would chat the seller first to see if they know anything about it but pretty much yes
even though a unlock code enter comes up mine had to be run as a tmobile device like a device with app unlock not code

Unlocking LGV35

Hello XDA friends,
I recently bought a LGV35 AT&T with bad imei, I'm not form USA so I was thinking I was able to unlock it for carriers outside USA, I have an octopus box but unfortunately my box doesnt support that model yet, I tried to contact with a few unlock providers but unfortunately again they dont have support for that model neither, so I want to ask you that if there is a way to unlock it or I will have to wait until my box have an update to unlock that type of model.
Best regards.:fingers-crossed:

I need a solution too. Thanks guys:fingers-crossed:

Me too.. Unfortunatley its been decided that there will never be any unlocking, rooting, sim unlocking or any ROMs for this phone. v30 and v40 get there own dedicated forums.. while v35 still gets none. The higher ups in the XDA world put a hex on the V35....They dont want any development.

Hey guys just a quick update, I already tried from different unlock services with no luck seems like they already don´t have access to unlock codes or something like that.

Yes I'm optimistic
Because they told me that every week they receive new model for unlock, so maybe we are in an unrealease list (for me from AT&T) so maybe the OEM are not able yet to release the codes.
But don't be very very optimisitc because this a new a phone so the unlock service could be in a few weeks or maybe in months, but be positive!

Ok! I'll be positive :fingers-crossed:
So you have a box eventually to unlock the phone too? If it will be suppurted earlier than the codes could you do it in a remote way (via internet)? I can pay for it.

octoplus supports it but damage the efs partitcion , and gc pro i think it need to be rooted wich now is impossible i actually think they made the unlock by box pretty much impossible no download mode at all , no access to fastboot , even adb commands are worthless, the first time i see no way to unlock an lg phone from at&t from unlock code resellers , first time also that i see that the server for this phone went down since in lauch i unlocked 6 purchasing the unlock code for 5 bucks each

Unlocking codes providers are now working :good::fingers-crossed:

The price was right so I purchased an ATT v35 NIB on ebay from a reputable seller. It was sim locked to att. The ATT route to unlock would have involved a 90 day service committment, expensive and inconvenient. Found codes2unlock.com via the Howard forum, https://www.howardforums.com/showth...lock-AT-amp-T-USA-LG-V35-ThinQ-by-Unlock-Code.
They turned around a sim unlock code in less than 12 hr for $15. Worked like a charm. With that out of the way, I proceeded to flash the latest ULM (Fi) rom to at least partially free the phone. Would be great to have root as an option but I just don't have the will to play cat and mouse with Magisk to be able to use Google Pay.

Just want to make sure i'm understanding this correctly. I have an ATT LG v35 that i'm currently using with a cricket sim. If I pay for the unlock code I will be able to flash the Fi rom? Could you point me to the resources to download the correct rom? It's been a while since i've tried any of this.

I don't know if lgup checks carrier lock state before flashing a kdz. One thing for sure is that there are no kdz's for ATT roms. You won't be able to go back to ATT stock. Unlocking it before crossing that rubicon seemed like a good idea to avoid a future unlocking hassle so that the phone can be used with another carrier, Verizon in my case.
Here's the link to the Fi kdz.

Read up on cross flashing in this forum as well as the ones on the G7 and v30.

Be sure to do a back up prior to doing the rom. One nice feature of 'restoral' is that you can select which apps/data to restore (meaning you can leave unwanted apps behind). I just did it today and am very happy. Even the authenticator app is working as before. Some logins might need to be redone, but it's worth it.

Solution:
Only buy unlocked phones

I just purchased an AT&T LG V35, had it unlocked through unlocklocks.com for $18.50 , turn around was about 3 hours and code worked with no problems. Hope that helps!
