LG V20 US996 Rent a center LOCK - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, I hope this is not ilegal or something... Well the thing is I got scammed on eBay buying and unlocked lg v20 us996, I already opened a dispute in PayPal but in the meantime I'm trying to fix this...
I've read some "solutions" but it's not at all explained so I've friend EVERYTHING and nothing works. My bootloader is locked and I don't have enabled OEM unlock nor USB debugging . So my question is, is there any way to activate these two other than in the phone itself ? (I can't do it the normal way since the RAC message blocks absolutely everything on the phone)
Could someone that has done this before walk me through this? I would extremely appreciate it!!!
Thanks in advance people.

anyone?

Solved, (will open a thread with tutorial) please close

Please post the steps to remove it. Thanks

I am not a moderator on here, but IMHO discussing how to remove the lock on a piece of rented equipment (even if you WERE scammed) is way outside the scope of these forums.
Again, IMHO discussing carrier unlocking a phone shouldn't be allowed because if you owned the phone, the carrier will unlock it for you. So both of these topics deal with equipment that you do not personally own.

Is it really locked?
At the moment no one has a locked device yet, even operators are selling them unlocked.

Orange always lock them.
So back to my question - anyone know how to UNlock them yet, or is it way too early?

Not so many people have locked devices, so you'll have to research if you want to unlock it. What I recommend is reading how other HTC devices are unlocked, and most probably you'll only have to adapt to Hermes.
These are interesting things for you to read:

A good starting point would be to have a dumped rom from an unlocked Orange SPV M3100 and a dumped rom from a locked one, better if the two dumped ROMs contain the same versions. For more information look here:

Good luck!

No sorry mate - we are normal people after a normal layman's answer, much like the simple explanation as to how to unlock the Wizard when it came out.
I am grateful indeed for your help, but its FAR more technical and over my head than the reply I was after...
Cheers though.

OK, here's a normal layman's answer: NOT YET, IT'S A BRAND NEW MODEL. BE PATIENT! :roll:
Before we can give you a simple, step-by-step process, someone has to do the hard work -- the experimentation that was described in the previous post. Many of the people on this board are the technical boffins who will develop the solution; he simply thought you might be willing to do it and offer some guidance to get us all further along the path.
Plus, only the Orange models appear to be locked; all other operators appear to be selling unlocked versions. It'll have to be an Orange owner, and they just started selling them this week.
Yes, that's the point... it will be possible as long as people starts having locked devices, it's just a matter of time
Try www.imei-check.co.uk
My Orange M3100 is now running quite happily on T-Mobile :wink:
Ouc, £20. Think I'll leave it for a little bit later til I do mine.

Do they unlocked it for you? Do you know how they do it? Can you "reverse engeneer" the changes done on the phone? Can you provide more information?

Yes, they unlocked it for me. I was a beta tester for them and got it unlocked successfully earlier this evening.
I have absolutely no idea how they do it, unfortunately I don't have the technical skills otherwise I would've done it myself
I see the process here:
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3100unlock.php
Can you share the M3100v1unlock.exe file which will only work for your IMEI?
we can probably reverse engeneer what it does from there...
Thanks

I think that a full reverse engineering can be avoided. The unlocker -which is freely downloadable- simply asks the user to insert a password code that matches his phone's IMEI before going on with the unlock. Bypassing this check should be fairly simple for a skilled programmer (cracker). Or he could develop a code generator.
The only problem is: Is it correct to do this?

No, it is not correct, but we don't want to do this... we just want to know what the unlocker does, and then write another app (not hack the existing) to do it, and release it for free
¿?
Anything new about unlocking this unit??
Thanks a lot.
Also, how could one go about flashing a TyTn ROM onto the 3100? Has anyone done this yet?
I hope someone finds a solution to this. I just bought one on ebay thinking that someone had already managed to sim-unlock it and be able to change roms on it.

Free Sim Unlock for Artemis, Again

Hello,
According to the Wiki the same application for Hermes can unlock the Artemis, but I have tried it several times and it does not work.
With one of them I got a "SIM Lock Code", but I entered it when I inserted another SIM and it said it was not valid. I tried again and wrong again. Since then every time it says that I have already tried twice to enter the Network code.
Is there a way to sim-unlock without paying the 28eur?
Is the structure of Artemis so much different than the other HTC?
Anyone accepting the challenge to adapt Pof's applications?
Ànims Pof!
no, there have been some changes here on the board,
thats what i make up from what i read on this board.
they just want to make some money, the code is a bit different.
i am waiting for a free unlocker also. not going to pay for it.
if it wont be released with 2 months, i can unlock it for free at my provider...
Anything new here?

MDA Compact III Sim unlock
Hi guys,
I recently purchased the imei-chech unlocker which worked great but cost me £20 . A few months later the phone developed a power problem, so I got it replaced under warranty. Which meant my new phone needed unlocking. DOH!
My question is if I post the unl. file with my old IMEI number in it can any programmers out there modify the file to accept a different imei. I have the software to unlock the MDA it just requires a unl. file with the correct IMEI.
Leave it with you
please keep me posted
Cheers

Dude... dont blame me man, I just googled for someone who can't be arsed.
Anyway, when people asks about unlocking they usually refer to 'network unlock', perhaps if the OP wants to know about unlocking his/her locked sim from the handset, he/she should of made it a little more clearly, right?
i did it on my x10a so im not sure if its the same for x10i
insert a sim card from another network
a screen will show up asking you to punch in a code
keep tapping on the blank space where you are suppose to enter the code until a keypad comes up
enter in your unlock code

well if you read it properly you would discover that he did indeed ask how to remove the network lock using a code he bought and also that the instructions you gave were about as much use as tits on a bull because they are clearly not for the x10 (how for example are you supposed to press the joystick left when there isnt one?)

I'm wondering, did anyone ever consider the possibility here? Cause prior to posting, I read the instructions and the little box under it then thought that's a possibility; considering there are up and down keys (volume). I can't test it, since my cell arrive stock without network locks or branding.

I don't post in here unless I've ALREADY searched, TRIED the applicable standard SGS2 actions, and failed, thus having to resort to posting a thread asking specifically about the SC02C phone.
So. The standard SGS2 unlocking tools do not work on the SC02C.
Has anyone unlocked their SC02C themselves, and if so, how did you do it?

NTT will unlock them, 3000 yen and change, no effect on monthly support according to comments here.
Its not a DIY unlock but its a lot cheaper (3 beers) that some things *cough*tethering*cough* that docomo rakes us over the coals for.
any luck on this? I know somebody had before and after shots of the locked and unlocked binaries. Probably not going to do much to reverse engineer 1 way hash, but it's something.
I believe I am this guinea pig... I had the first nv_data.bin 1 day before going to the NTT shop, and then I did the same thing after unlocking. I also asked the lady if she could give me the password just in case it locks itself up, and it is 18360815.
If any good soul out there (Odia? ChainFire? Somebody else?) can take a look at the hashes and update the SIM unlocking program, it would be amazing. Before unlocking I tried using the program from the market, but found neither the unlock or unfreeze code.
Good luck, guys!
has there been any progress or hope to unlock this phone for US carriers? I'm holding one in my hand that I'm only using as a game console.
What can I do with it after I root it? I would like to be able to retire the iphone and use this phone.
I tried to unlock at the docomo shop but they said I would need a japanese passport to unlock, and my new zealand passport is insufficient...
So anyone willing to help or know another way? I am leaving japan on tuesday evening so this is rather urgent, thank you.

It's nothing to do with me. sToRm// is an experienced developer and his Xperiafix thread has been helping people who have unlocked thier bootloader and need it fixed since October 2017.
The fix makes the phone think it's locked and all the functions work agin.
