All,
Anyone know or had any luck returning their device for a "re-do" of their design after they have unlocked their bootloader?
Thanks!
FWIW, a Moto rep told me that once I unlocked the bootloader, I was on my own. While they will probably fix hardware issues unrelated to the bootloader under warranty, I seriously doubt that they'd restore your custom greeting after unlocking. Not for free, anyway.
I don't know why you would need a custom greeting when you can pretty much do what you want with the phone anyway. LOL
I think it would probably be fine since you're not returning it for software reasons. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...o-remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning-t3201141 could be used to remove the unlocked bootloader warning.
Hi all,
Have an interesting question. I bought an unlocked S4 on ebay and found that it was not factory or paid unlocked, but by first rooting then unlocking the network. And this was after I paid for unlocking lol oops. I emailed the seller and he confirmed the root/unlock, but that he doesn't remember how or what he used, yeah right.
Is there a way to undo the sim unlocked phone via root?
I just barely finished returning to stock after several days of stuck on firmware recovery fail.
Thanks

Hello,
I just acquired a new 'Huawei Ascend XT' phone which is sim locked to AT&T. I am currently in the process of unlocking the boot loader and rooting the phone.
I was wondering is there any tool available to Carrier / imei unlock this phone after I have rooted it (or may be even befor rooting it)?
Thanks.
I'm fairly certain you just need to change the apn settings manually.. need to do something weird to bring up the option to add/edit, believe it's holding down the tasks button
Without being carrier unlocked, the phone can only be used on AT&T Prepaid, AT&T, or AT&T based MVNOs. These days AT&T won't give you an unlock code unless you use the phone on AT&T Prepaid for 6 months. You can check eBay to see if any unlockers will sell you an unlock code for a few bucks. Only buy from sellers who have a money back guarantee if their unlock code fails.

Bought 2nd-Hand
I would like to ask if there is any way to carrier unlock. I bought this phone for 20$ on offer up. But when I contacted at&t to request unlock they said it has to be used for 6 months. For me that does not work, as I am already with tMobile and bought the XT for a second phone because of the large device support. I actually love the phone, but as is it is just sitting around. If anyone has or has heard of a way to accomplish an unlock please p.m. Me.or answer in forum. Thanks in advance.
Ps. phone is already bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk 14.0. And latest TwRP.
Just got my H918 T-Mobile Unlocked from an Ebay Seller. The good news is that it is on 10k, so I can downgrade and enjoy the twrp and root awesomeness! Just one thing: Will I lose the carrier unlock after I factory reset or flash another rom? (Sim unlock works as it should and I did not have to do anything with the T-Mobile Device Unlock app, which was preinstalled)

don't think you will but I would still check around first
I have checked around. Probably will not lose the unlock. Maybe someone else has been in the same situation. I have to make sure.
Not sure if I'm answering your question right but t mobile has the obligation to unlock fully paid off phones. So if the device is fully paid off and something happens you can call t mobile again to unlock it.
Update: Unlocked bootloader, installed custom rom, never lost sim unlock.

Hi, I also have a locked H918, can you suggest the ebay seller so that I am able to use the phone
No you will not lose your unlock. Once unlocked it's for good.
Hey, i have the model number H873 which is canadian, and i looked on google and this thread etc and havent seen any possibility of bootloader unlocking
So i guess im ****ed. rip lol what do i do, is there still hope for unofficial bootloader unlocking or something¿ Because I do see the OEM Unlocking toggle in dev options. Or am i just stuck with a bootloader locked phone forever?
There's someone obtained the root, he's working for easy method
