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?

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.

IT WORKED! Cheers mate. Thanks for giving me the hint with SIEEMPI method.
Ok so sorry if this has already been posted but I can't find anything. This is my first attempt at rooting. I am trying to root my 2014 Moto x. I am on US cellular so I believe the model is XT1093. Not sure though as this seems to be missing from settings in lollipop. I tried a root tutorial for xt1097 but did not work. There is no OEM unlock setting in my Developer options. I think I have to unlock my bootloader through Motorola but havn't been successful.. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got the same problem here I think it's a US Cellular problem with what they eliminated from lollipop but I can't be sure looking everywhere but can't find any answers. I wish we could get some help with this though would love to unlock and root this thing.
Yea, I think your right about it being a US Cellular thing. No one else seems to have the problem and US Cellular is a unique model number (XT1093 vs 1095 or 1097). Iv tried to unlock the bootlader through motos web cite which should work but I'm having some difficulties. I entered the info from my device, it said it was able to be unlocked and gave me the unlock key. but when I entered the key I got an error. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or they are.. Still working on it..

What command are you using to unlock your bootloader with the key? And what error are you getting?
I've tried the unlock method from Motorola. It all works until it prompts you to check the box in developing. options that says unlock oem functions. On the 1093 in lollipop the dev. option is not there. Also tried the tool kit in this forum that is made for non pure phones... It works great... even tells you your phone is unlocked but it doesn't finish. What I mean is it doesn't reboot your phone and the phone is still locked. Really frustrating ? Any help or ideas are very welcome. PLEASE HELP!
Is there a way to root the phone without unlocking? Cause if we could... We could try a different rom and see if from there we could find the unlock box in the developer options.

There's no such thing as "Unlock/ Unlock OEM functions" in developer options, in any ROM, ever.
Just found this.. Apparently Nexus 6 & 9 have this additional step to unlock the bootloader. I didn't have to do this while unlocking my device whilst on lollipop. So I'm gonna assume it's possible to unlock the bootloader on your device if this option is missing from the Developer Options..
Follow the procedure on motorola's website to unlock the bootloader and report back with the error you see on the online tool, or the actual device.
P.S - voids your warranty, unless you have a dev device
It doesn't give an error per say... It tells you to go to dev options and check the box or click on the option to unlock oem. Of course it's not there so the program will not execute the unlock. It says waiting for device....

Hi, sorry that this is old, but I've had my XT1900-5 for a few months and want to start rooting it finally. But I haven't bothered much because of the issue I've read about unlocking this bootloader. What signed ROM etc. ? Any help to get me started would be useful.
no complexity,just follow the instructions in moto website , copy the code properly(use the moto recommended tool for accuracy) & you are good to go,for twrp & root see the forum.
Soo I tried to get the unlock code for nokiadotcom phone sen_int bootloader but it says invalid IMEI

I've been reading for hours now about how to unlock the Nokia 8 TA-1012 bootloader, now that Nokia's official method is defunct.
Can someone clarify if this service, which seems to be reasonably priced, will lead to me having the actual unlock.key for keeps and, more importantly, will this enable me to unlock critical?

Thanks for taking the time to reply! I'm trying to do this for a relative, so I don't want to screw up along the way. Is there ANY downside to not having the unlock key once the phone is critical unlocked? I'm not planning to relock it or anything, I'm just overwhelmed with the whole Treble thing and making sure I don't miss anything.

I've been real busy since I asked about the whole thing but I was planning to follow that exact guide. It unlocks critical, right? From there I install Treble and Custom ROM and theoretically, if it somehow bricks (seen a few people being unlucky) critical unlock will enable me to unbrick?

Hello, in my case in December 2021 it was the first time I tried it and it went well, you have to strictly follow the instructions (make sure before you start that you have the correct connection with the PC in my case with W10-64b, the telephone connected, recognized, with ADB mode and "Unlock bootloader" activated and the ADB environment and tools running on the PC) and be patient since unlocking the bootloader with the Unlock Tool has 2 stages (the second I think I remember is the "critical unlock") so you have to let it go to the end. Once the bootloader is unlocked, when you restart the phone you will get a message that will always appear when you restart it, warning you that the bootloader is unlocked. Beware that by doing so the phone will be reset to factory settings and all user data will be lost so make sure to make a backup before. At the end of the unlock process you will also be asked if you want to donate through PayPal any amount of money voluntarily to the developers of the Unlock tool/techmesto. In short, the key is to read the instructions very well and follow them exactly. After the unlocking of the bootloader and the installation of the Treble you can now put any custom ROM. I hope the whole process goes well for you.

Thank you very much for the detailed advice. If I can bother you for one more thing, there's multiple Treble threads/guides on here and some seem (!) outdated or conflicting. Could you maybe point me to one guide/thread you recommend? I have the Nokia 8 TA-1012 here.
I've flashed and rooted maybe half a dozen phones over the years while always just lurking and reading here but in this case, it seems so much riskier and complicated, so I appreciate any and all advice.

Thanks a lot for all the input, I'll add all this into my notes and read everything diligently before I do anything. Appreciate you taking the time to help me out!
According to OnePlus I was supposed to get an email with this code when my phone was sim unlocked. They claim they have no idea what I'm talking about and they would never help somebody void their warranty and are forbidden to do so. How the hell do you get this code when they don't even know what it is? I can't get my unlock token without it and they've already tried blaming OnePlus which is not who is responsible for this code. I can't even find someone who knows what unlocking a bootloader means and they keep mixing it up with sim unlock and keep accusing me of trying to switch to another network despite me being with them for 11 years
let us know if you or anykne founded
Try saying root unlock instead. Btw you should be able to do this process online automatically. I could be wrong, but that's how it's always been done with every other device with tokens.

When I go to OnePlus's unlock page it asks for the serial, the IMEI, and the 64 digit code emailed to you by T-Mobile. I have found a possible solution with adb but I don't know if it still works, something like "adb get_oem_unlock_code" or fastboot but I don't have the exact command on me at the moment. They have their own process worked out with T-Mobile but nobody at T-Mobile was taught anything about this
