I unlocked the phone through AT&T and now I need to verify that it is carrier unlocked. Is there an easy way to do so?
Thanks!

I have an unlocked Moto G6 that I am trying to flash with Verizon firmware. Can anyone point me in the right direction? A google search has shown nothing.

What do you mean by unlocked. There bootloader unlock and sim unlock. Sim unlock just allows you to use another network. Bootloader unlock allows to to flash. Also there is no Verizon firmware to flash because the Verizon model can't be bootloader unlocked which means you can't flash it. Verizon and att are notoriously the worst when it comes to having there phones eligible to be bootloader unlocked

I guess it's SIM unlocked since I can pretty much use it with any carrier by swapping the SIM card. I bought the phone new and unlocked from Republic Wireless and am trying to get it working with full features with Verizon Prepaid. A couple of folks on Reddit mentioned that I could flash the phone with Verizon software in order to get it to work as if I'd bought the G6 from Verizon.
I have a note 8 on AT&t prepaid. The bootloader is locked. I would like to upgrade to the 9. Is there a variant that works on AT&t prepaid that will allow me to root? Unlocked phone are just carrier unlocked right? Will the unlocked Sammy still let me root?
Thanks in advance.

I don't use AT&T, but yes unlocked phones just mean sim unlocked. Not the same as bootloader unlocked.
U.S. models are bootloader locked so no root there. Exynos models and N9600 are bootloader unlocked. You would need to check the available bands on those models to ensure they match your carrier, or wait until someone on AT&T confirms
I recently purchased a supposedly unlocked note 9. The back of the phone reads SM-960U which appears to be the factory unlocked model. It seems to be locked to sprint because anytime I try to flash over to a Verizon firmware it is successful but still reads BST/BST/SPR in the software menus. Do I need to find a way to unlock the sim from sprint or am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
i have the same problem, but in unlocked t-mobile. mine is now XAA/XAA/TMB. works like a charm so.......

u1 is unlocked not u.
Though carrier and bootloader unlock are different subjects, if an S20 FE 5G is Samsung *FACTORY* carrier unlocked, can I assume its bootloader is therefore unlockable? If it is, where can I get the unlock code? Bestbuy, for example, is offering this phone with both carrier unlocked and locked versions, https://www.bestbuy.com/site/search...rue&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keys
Further, can I assume if a model is carrier locked, then the bootloader cannot be unlocked to enforce the carrier lock?
My objective is to root the phone and also install TWRP. I have no plans to switch my carrier, T-Mobile, and thus a model locked to T-Mobile is fine as long as its bootloader can be unlocked since a carrier-locked one is cheaper.
My understanding is S20 FE 5G is based on the Snapdragon processor. Some have claimed Snapdragon is impossible to unlock the bootloader, but I assume they mean you can't do it if Samsung doesn't allow it. Unfortunately, I simply can't find a Samsung site where they would give out bootloader unlock code for approved models.
No you can't not unlocked the boot loader I went with unlocked version bc of bloat software on carrier phones you will never get to unlock the bootloader

Thread closed. 2nd post contains the answer to op's inquiry. Thread is no longer needed
Is it possible to put TWRP on the SM-A600T or is it carrier subsidized and cannot be unlocked?
