They all say that you should type in Terminal Emulator on phone:
su
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
and you should find in bounch of numbers the 8 digit number above the IMEI and that should be the unlock code. I tried that but can't find either the imei or unlock code. The mmcblk0p6 file IS in /dev/block. Any solution?

Thanks for the info, my SXL is already unlocked, but following this pattern i will look into the phone to find the partition we use, and will post here my findings and you can test the solution.

Using this
Code:
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
you will find the same things as you find in this thread.
Personally i got the CID, some code, the IMEI and other stuff under it, so i believe the thing above the IMEI should be the unlocking code, but not it is made from 8 digits and should not be the one that starts with lots of 000 (i got that too )
I would apreciate if you could provide a screenshot, as i have an unlocked phone and it could be different at you.

Note that i'm using the ICS Radio and .28 Hboot, don't know if things are different on other Radion or Hboot versions, but i just wanted to put it here
Ok, thanks.
I tryed this:
strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
and i actually got the 8 digit code above the imei, but first 5 digits are 0, don't know if i should try that code. Here is screenshot.

Are you S-OFF?
That is not my code, then
Yes, I am s-off.

Have you tried a different SIM since you S-OFF'ed your device? It seems that on some device, the device becomes sim-unlocked when you S-OFF it.
Yes i tried it, and i tried it again just now, it is sim-locked.
I tried this:
sh /sdcard/simfinder.sh
in the link you posted, and got bounch of 8 digits numbers from mmcblk0p29. Maybe there is unlock code, but which one?
Maybe I have to be in stock rom to find unlock code, or it doesn't matter?

29 is the data partition, there is no chance to find the unlock code there... Don't have any ideea for now, it could be done in another way but will need to investigate further.

Problem is I don't think you can find the code unless your device is locked to a specific carrier.
Sent from my Sensation XL using XDA Premium HD app
I am locked to carrier, maybe we can compare some data from mmc?
Strange thing happened today, when i try the other sim card and restart the phone, don't got message "network is locked" and dialpad to enter the code, instead got locked screen, in status bar no network, but when tried to unlock the screen it was unresponsive! So, no screen and soft buttons are working, only power and volume button does, and i can't unlock screen and can't use phone in any way. When i remove that sim and put the one from my carrier or no sim at all, everything back to normal, i tried that couple of times. Just to mention, i DID NOT enter any unlock code ever, just to try. Why that happened?
EDIT: just flash another rom and it is ok, got the "enter unlock code" screen.
I bought unlock code online from trusted source, but doesn't work. I was on aosp rom but read somewhere that you must be on sense rom to accept the code. So i flash some sense rom, not working again. Then i tried ics stock rooted rom, no good, then tried gb stock rooted rom, because the phone was on gb rom when it's locked, no good. Then i found somewhere that some other devices accepted the code when you flash different radio, so i tried that, no good either. Then i relocked bootloader and flash gb ruu, no good, then flash ics ruu, guess what, no good. I tried everything but the code seems to be false.

hi there, I'm working on a method to unlock the samsung galaxy W 8150 device and am interested in your findings. what's this about a 'sense' rom? do you simply mean a stock sensation XL rom? thanks,
Foxy
Yes, i mean the stock rom the phone came with from factory, basically that must be the rom that was on the phone when it is locked.

Sorry my friend, i sold my Sensation XL long time ago, i'm on HTC One X now...

you must purchase a sim-unlock code. S-OFF/supercid/root will not sim-unlock the phone.
you must be as close as possible to 100% stock to use the unlock code. Anyway try it, if id doesn't work then go back to stock and re-enter the unlock code.

Thanks for trying to help me! The issue is, that there is no Unlock Code for this IMEI, I tried 5 differnt suppliers and noone could provide a code.
I guess the reason for that is the device is brand new...

in this case you could try the SIEEMPI method. The HTC ONE isn't listed on that page but many users reported that it works (in this thread)

I tried that, but I get an error when hit SIMLOCK, see screenshot. Also, the Config.dat file isnt there afterwards, tried to push it via adb to /root but it says "Read Only File-System". Am I doing something wrong? Transferred the file via usb on SD-Card and then copied it via ES Explorer to the root folder. Any Clue? Thanks.
Thats the error message.

the procedure is a bit different for the HTC One, you have to copy the .dat file to a fat32 hard drive connected to your phone with a usb Y-cable. take a look at the thread I have linked above, read the last few pages.

I have NonSense v1.03 on my cricket device. Called up Cricket recently and got the unlock code which I was unable to enter/use on the device as I never received the locked-provider prompt, only an sim icon with a lock once the phone booted up.
I thought this was due to the rom installed, upon searching on the forums, I found many threads where people were trying to unlock their CDMA devices, not much on GSM. That led me to find this post and the third post in this thread stating I need to re-lock the bootloader to flash the original RUU (RUU_A11_UL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_AIO_Aio_Wireless_US_1.11.506.8) file so I can proceed to enter the code and unlock the device.
So, are these the correct steps? Is there another way to bring up the prompt to unlock the device?

I don't know of any other way to bring up the prompt to unlock the device. So this might be your only solution.

I have attached my unlocking software, if you are still on android kitkat you can immediately unlock and if youre on android 5.0 or 5.1.1 the software will help you downgrade, once you have unlocked the bootloader you can upgrade back to the new software.
Thanks, working trough it on *nix atm, i tried the method described to unlock the bootloader officially, or so i thought, the method has been removed from the Huawei web site. Registering an account was required to obtain the unlock code but this resulted in me having to editing the page to add my country number as the country was not listed to get the sms unlock code.... At the moment i am preparing to hack the device but have not currently found the file for the B856 firmware it's running. I do not want to for example downgrade the baseband, the baseband will need to be hacked a little bit in order to get Android 7.x, i believe is the case.
Rooted my system and backed up all the partitions. Everything but userdata that is,

This software is for the p7-l10 so im not sure if it will work for l12 but it may work, just download it, connect your phone via a usb cable, run the bat file and then choose the option you want from the listed options (unlocking bootloader)
As I can root the huawei p7-l12 the apps to perform this procedure are automatically blocked, I mention it because in the executable root appears necessary.
Hi, I can confirm that this method works for the huawei p7-l12.

Hey, I've tried to get my code but it doesn't work. I have already downgraded and when I open the Get_bootloader_code file and choose the choice 4, it says press enter to continue, I press enter and nothing happens. BUT if I disconnect the device it says step 2 where you have to type your code and press enter. Thing is, I got no code! Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong and thanks in advance!

For this to work you have to be rooted! Make sure you are rooted, and if you are, open up cmd and write adb devices while the device is connected with a usb cable to your pc and give me the output

So I am stuck with this at the moment. To unlock the bootloader, I need to have the phone rooted. And to be able to unroot, I need to have an unlocked bootloader.
I already tried to downgrade back from 5.1.1 to a lower version, but I was not succesfull.
How can I get an unlocked, rooted P7?
That is nice, thanks.
Howeever I need to get back to 5.1.1, while keeping it unlocked/TWRPed, will OTA work, or i need to do incremental flash through TWRP? As i understand doing it by UPDATE.APP would lock the bootloader again?
EDIT: never fk mind.
You know what... DC Unlock really gives you the code for 4€, and it takes 60 seconds.
So after 5 hours of downloading and flashing roms, now I suddenly have TWRP and Magisk after 5 minutes and easy instructions. Couldn't recommend more.
