Hey yall, I am hoping and praying that is someone out there in xda that could help me with my problem. I wanted to install the unlock bootloader on my phone, and I followed all the steps and when I was done everything was working okay except I could not connect to me service provider. I went to my service provider to today and they they changed my sim card thing that it was the problem. Now my phone shows signal when I switch it to GSM but when I try to make a phone call it cuts off..
Has anyone had this issue and if yes how did you fix it ?
Have you ever sim-unlocked your phone? If you have, you need to unlock it again using setool and proceed with bootloader unlocking using the setool.bat, not semc.bat. The same goes if your phone is sim-locked. Unlock it with setool.
If you never sim-unlocked your phone, or it was sim-lock free from the time you bought it, unlock the bootloader with semc.bat.
Now, try unlock the bootloader with semc.bat and see what happens.
Im having a similar problem my x10 have a unlocked boot loader but my phone have a signal problem , the signal is very low

You may have unlocked your bootloader with the wrong .bat file. What .bat file you used?
I have a Samsung SGH-i437 that was a contract phone from AT&T. I wanted to unlock it for use over seas, so I rooted the phone and installed CyanogenMod cm-10.2-20130925-UNOFFICIAL-expressatt but the phone still has a carrier lock on it. I now have a unlock code but can not get the prompt by using #7465625*638*CODE# because it give me a no network message. When I insert a different sim it does not recognize it. It only has the icon for the sim with a ? make on it.
Any help would be appreciated!
Anybody know of a free way to unlock this thing?

I have the same problem. Kingroot succeeded rooting it, but now how can I kick off Tracfone and use my ETECSA sim card?
I have the SM-G930P with software version: G930PVPU2APC5, however I'm using a cricket sim card. I was able to get it sim unlocked via remote tether using onlineunlocks.com but I'd like to root it. I lost root when they unlocked it and I'm guessing the unlock only works with stock firmware. If any of you know whether I can still root it I'd really appreciate you chiming in on this.
Thanks!
The remote unlock I had done by gsmzambia.com hasn't been effected by rooting or flashing other firmware. I've switched back and forth between P, T and U firmware without losing my SIM unlock. I wasn't rooted at the time I had the unlock performed, but assuming that they use similar methods to do the unlock, they probably had to flash a custom Eng bootloader, which I'm guessing is what killed root for you. The only thing that's ever re-locked my phone has been putting my Boost SIM card back in it. Apparently, using any Sprint-based SIM card will re-lock a 930P.
Thanks!
Thanks! I rooted it and it's running great! Also in case anyone else sees this and had a similar question, I'm 100% positive that ApexPredatorBoids is right. It really is that nothing should undo your unlock, except putting a sim from the original carrier back in! I also performed I factory reset through recovery mode since I messed something up after rooting and it obviously again had no effect on the sim lock. I personally couldn't find a straight forward confident answer on this subject with my searches so this was really helpful.
What did you use to root?
i know I posted earlier about a different issue, sorry for spamming the board.
I have a T-Mobile 1+6t with 9.0.15, i have been searching and tinkering all day and am still very confused about how to do this. From what I've seen, it is definitely possible, and every guide i've looked at is very simply laid out but i keep running into issues. Firstly, I have successfully converted to international version using the MSM tool. I thought this would be enough for my sim card to work but it is still not working. Now I am reading a bunch of other things about sim unlock and bootloader unlocking. Sorry but I am a noob at all of this. Can anyone point me in the exact direction in order for me to get my AT&T sim card working in my T-MOBILE 1+6t?
So my information is : TMOBILE 1+6t converted to International, running 9.0.15, and need to get AT&T sim card working.
What Ive done so far: converted to international.
What am I missing?
Before the conversion, you needed to get the carrier unlock code from TMo.
If you have not done that, you need to convert back to TMo firmware, get it unlocked from TMo, use the unlock app to unlock. After that you can flash the international firmware.

is there a way around that? before i converted, i did see the unlock app and tried to use it but it said the device is not eligible. I called t-mobile and they said they'd send me instructions to unlock. But i am not totally sure if the phone is paid off, it was my gf's ex's phone who i don't know and she doesn't want to talk to
Right now i am trying something else - from the guides i've gathered, you need to be on 9.0.11 to unlock the bootloader and need the bootloader unlocked to unlock the sim, so:
I am downloading the files to downgrade to 9.0.11 international, unlocking the bootloader after that, then using this guide to unlock the sim. will this work?
There's no workaround.
If someone stole my TMo op6t and tried to use it in another network, he or she can't unlock it, as I own it and it may not have paid off.
Actually you can follow this guide ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/guide-sim-unlock-t-mobile-version-type-t3915269 ) to remove the Sim lock. In essence you'll convert it to international, erase the two modem files containing the Sim lock info, revert it back to the TMO version. Apply to OnePlus for your unlock token, wait a week to get it, then unlock bootloader. End result is a fully bootloader and Sim unlocked phone. Or if you're not interested in unlocking the bootloader you can skip the last part. You'll still have an unlocked phone.

Hey I actually successfully followed this guide last night and am now typing on my 1+6t international w/ unlocked bootloader + sim unlock. I unlocked the bootloader using a different guide. One question: will updating my phone affect this sim unlock? Because I know you need 9.0.11 to unlock the bootloader, and you need an unlocked bootloader to use this sim unlock guide. I know there is an update available, Is it safe to update?

The Sim unlock sticks permanently, I've updated several times after doing the SIM unlock both on the TMO version and the international version and have had no issues at all. I flipped back and forth between the two trying to decide which I wanted to run. Stuck with the international just for the more consistent updates.
