I purchased Lg G6 unlocked t-mobile from ebay India on a half price of original "this is what I was patting my back with pride for" for a while though. Well, today I got a prompt on my phone screen that T-mobile temporary unlock period is expired, please reboot. I could smell the issue by now and as soon as I rebooted another message said "Network Lock". Now my sim does not have network signals. It is as good as a brick because I do not have t-mobile sim nor I think this phone was outright'ly purchased before it landed in my hands.
Looking for options:
1) does flashing custom rom (If available) release the network lock?
2) are there software available that can unlock without t-mobile sim?
3) are there paid unlock services available for foreign network?
4) any other that I am not aware of?

Sadly only option is to return/get a refund for the phone I’m sure eBay will work in your favour due to this.
Try the network unlock app (purple icon) and request unlock that way. Make sure your on WiFi.
If that doesn’t work only solution is to buy a app unlock on eBay which usually varies in price. And that’s only if the phones imei is not blacklisted

Thanks for the guidance.
I contacted my local market repair shop, he tried unlocking with his software but failed. He tried unlocking by sending a request to some recognised network unlocker but failed. Now he is suggesting a solution that a modified software flashing can be done to revoke the network lock from it for which I'm unsure about.
While surfing for the resolution, I have come across 2 options,
1 - flashing a ROM for H872 from this xda post.
2 - Have gone through several "GSMHosting" forum pages and people are doing network unlocking at ease with logs as proof. Is this all legit?

1. Flashing a rom is not going to unlock it.
2. No it’s not legit to unlock a T-Mobile phone unless T-Mobile themselfs unlock it. But there’s plenty of app unlocking services on eBay between $15 and $30 usually. And if they can’t unlock it it’ll just be a WiFi only device.

Bro at least give us a solution in advance so that when we encounter any problem we can fix it quickly
See, you replied after one month that's a very long time. That is why I'm asking.
Most probably people forget to reply so if you just give us the solution that would be very helpful in those kind of situations if anyone encounters it.

Its not that I read your post after a month but I responded late cuz been busy with my stuff and 2ndly your phone still works. I have helped about 21 people so far who have network lock issue, few came back to me to say it worked for them and few dint. All I know is that it worked for me and may work for others too. If my intention was just to keep it to myself I would have already wiped out my relevant posts.
However, thats not the point, point is this forum have ample of info already to understand how to fix this issue but all it takes is to read through all the pages and posts which most people dont take pain for.

Do you want me to post the solution in public? I thought that is what YOU DIDN'T want?
Listen, arif238 just decided it was ez'ier to quote everyone who posted asking you a question of the solution, folks who were basically in the same boat with him. What do we call this...lazy fingers. My response was calling this out, if you didn't realize. He too should have written you a DM for the solution, right?
BTW again thanx for sharing the solution with me. I didn't pursue it though. I decided to return the units and got a US997.
Please helpp!!
I have the same problem. I got my phone online for half price too! At first when I entered my local sim, it was working. The phone was new so I wanted to explore it and opened the device unlock app to see what it was about. Tried pressing permanent unlock but it said failed. Then tried temporary and it approved. 2 days ago, it said that the unlock period has expired or something and it the network tag said "network locked". T-mobile lets you temporarily unlock your phone twice a month. So I've unlocked it for another month but won't be able to do it again. Please helpp!!

Hello I just upgraded from the droid maxx to the droid turbo and I love this phone bit for some reason whenever I do any sort of thing on it. The CPU gets extremely hot. According to my pjone y CPU has reached all the way to 139°f and right now I am only using the internet and it has gone from 90°f to 134°f. Is this normal? I can understand if I am using a lot of apps at one time but I am only using the internet and it keeps getting hotter and the app I am using to check my CPU temputure says that at this tempurture it can damage my phone. Should I take it in to have it looked at?

Apparently this is a common problem. I just called VZW today about it and they are overnighting me a brand new device since they have no refurbs left due to sending out so many replacements.
Thank you for the information. I just called them and they said because I bought the phone less than 2 weeks ago they will replace it with a brand new one. However, I wonder if they are ever going to be able to root the droid turbo. Because if they ever do that will help the battery life and would probably other things like the heating problem

I wish I could say I was even hopeful for root at this point but there seems to be no interest in working on a Verizon exclusive Moto device. Our only chance, in my opinion, is if we can benefit from someone taking on this years Moto X.

The battery is going to get hot because of many things. Its not a over heating issue. Just because Verizon says it is doesnt make it a problem. Verizon half the time has no clue. Call motorola they will give u the best information. They will tell you its normal.

Read my post a little more carefully next time. It says "there seems to be no interest", not to mention none of the Motos havent seen a full root exploit since 444 came out. Roughly a year of no further development for an OEM would suggest little to no interest in my opinion

and i did read if u read my post. You posted the same opinion over and over. Again if u read post from others ....and I quote "if people are working on root exploit usually they would wait till the next big OS release which would be lollipop and also they would not post anything to avoid commentors like yourself from bugging them about the exploit". Its common knowledge here on XDA. Research it sometime.

Commenters like myself? Are you serious?! Last I checked there a no rules about posting your opinion whenever you please. Never once have I asked a Dev for an ETA or update. So unless stating your point of view on a subject would deter a Dev from releasing anything, which is unlikely, how about you get off your high horse and quit acting like an entitled troll. Its commenters like you that have given XDA a bad rep

I'm going to get a replacement and try it out hopefully it's better on temperature management somewhat. I got 4 days to test out the replacement to then send the defective device
(This thread is finished yet I do not know how to set my own reply as the answer! An extremely kind developer helped me out immensely and I fully trusted him and I am very proud now!)
I got an SM-G955FD ( S8+ Dual SIM Europe XSG Variant )
I rooted the phone and installed renovate ICE and titanium backup, apparently, I messed up and after a restart, it was stuck on the flashing Samsung logo.
I went into download mode and tried flashing the TWRP from Odin with the BL button. It kept saying FAIL! and the text does not show that the NAND installed so I probably uninstalled something that's stopping from installing to the bootloader? Re=partition was ticked OFF all the time as I heard it freezes your phone or something??!
I tried installing stock firmware and still says fail when it comes to the bootloader part.
I tried Smart Switch as I seen videos of people doing it successfully with an s8+, but it apparently does not support specifically the XSG variant (from what I remember the XSG is the United Arab Emirates something when I was installing the firmware from SamMobile)
I contacted Samsung Help Services and redirected me to their messenger which then redirected me to their Smart Switch page and I sent them my problem yet it's been two hours and I have no answer
I know they are very busy which is why I sent here, maybe I get some tips.
Should I enable Re-Partition when reinstalling? I am really scared it might brick my phone if it says FAIL! :crying:
I really need help and if anybody can help or give tips or feedback, hints maybe or thoughts, anything I will be extremely glad an appreciative as every little is super useful and I need lots of help. It's my fault and I admit but I became super desperate, whenever I had a problem I always came here first thing and found the answer and I have not found anything like this exactly.
Thanks and sorry for the long paragraphs, I may have been too dramatic
You guys are amazing!
Might find firmware image here and use odin to flash it back to stock. I've done it more times than I would like to admit.

My phone is back in business!
Not mentioning how scared I was as I had all my savings on a worthless phone, I was very kindly contacted by one of the developers and helped me on the way, he connected via TeamViewer and did everything, this community is amazing! I seriously can't thank the person enough, I don't know if he wants his name mentioned I will PM him about that and I will definitely recommend! My phone is charging next to me with all its features working perfectly and I am again so grateful!! Apparently, my device was messed up good and he took a long time on it and it came out amazing. I am so happy right now I barely know what I am typing because I am very grateful! Thank you so much is this person is reading this you completely flipped my mood for the day and I feel great! :good:
I am so glad I decided to post here as Samsung still have not responded me, and you can't really blame them but the important thing is it is over, I will definitely start trying to help other people on this site because I want them to be like how I am feeling right now!
Thanks you are the best!!!!

I mailed Canadian British American New Zealand Mexican and American offices and they all said the same thing .... NO but we hope you will enjoy your phone ... LMAO not enjoying the lockdown at all.
I will find these addresses and post them here in the next few days.
In the meantime go to Huawei site send mail to the address there then go to all the other localized ones and do the same. ex. huawei.co.uk huawei.ca etc. (these examples aren't correct but that's the idea ... can't exactly remember right now)
Tell them you are developing apps or something and need access. Maybe if we all do this a lot something will happen? Let us know what they say to you.

Dear Lloyd,
Thank you for contacting Huawei Support UK.
In response to your enquiry, we would like to inform you that the unlock code application service has ended, as of July 25th 2018, to ensure user experience and safety. Huawei used to provide users with corresponding unlock codes to meet personalized requirements due to the usage of different ROMs, which was an extra service.
However, due to possible problems caused by unlocking your device (such as system built-in function failure, device freezing, and power consumption increase) we will no longer provide the code.
We are sincerely sorry for any possible inconvenience and we wish you a nice day!
Best regards,
Sandra

Now it's possible to get the bootloader unlock code.
But cost is around 30 euro

Got my unlock code! Really quick service will try it tonight
That site looks like it was made by a couple of guys who just emailed people about a massive amount of cash that the king of Wakanda has decided to give them they just need to send their passport number and bank details over
Looks dodge but hey if it works then fair play to you.
What info did they require, if it's an IMEI then that's not great.
Should just be serial iirc.

Just spoke to a guy on their live chat, the person i was chatting to said they do do the P20 Pro ?
He's apparently sent 10 codes today alone, all XDA members.

Have to say i'm quietly optimistic about these codes. it'll be massive if they work.

That was quick. keep us updated on if it works.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/bootloader-unlock-service-t3852447
It works apparently.
I can confirm it works
Mod Edit:
Thread closed due to security issue.
Even if your story is 100% accurate; discussing, sharing, links, or guides to bypassing a locked device is never appropriate on Xda, and this should be for obvious reasons.
I was just handed the phone and was told that if I can get through the authorization lock, I can keep it. Does anyone know how to bypass it? I've looked online and it all looks like B.S., and the previous owner does not have the email. Help??
These type of posts have received over and over again the same answer: NO, no help or guidance whatsoever will be provided here, as in such cases when somebody, for some odd reason can not unlock a device, most surely it is stolen or such, any legal owner can take the device to the carrier or samsung service to solve the issue, that is, with a proof of legal ownership

You don't think any of us here are going to believe that the previous owner doesn't have/know their own email address do you? Lmfao!! That feature was made for this very reason, to keep thieves from getting into and trying to use it.. Besides once it's been listed as stolen the carriers going to block the phones IMEI from being used so it won't be able to be used anywhere once it's blacklisted!! It's trash now!

I always did find it really funny when they say, "the previous owner does not have the email." Haha!! Riiigghhhttt!!
FINAL EDIT: As many have noticed this thread is/has been very dead. First off, I tried to have someone on the mods to get this account of mine shutdown. That did not work as you can tell, but when that did not work I decided to just ignore this whole thing all together Second, this operation was not a man job as I was simply a middle man for a woman who wanted to help people but needed a hand. I was simply taking the info and spreading it to her. As popularity grew in the thread more and more requests came in and queue times were going to take longer and longer to fulfil. At some point I decided to give her access to my account because I was getting busy at my job and had no way to constantly upload new information to her so we could continue. This would give her a way to look into my messages and gather some info when she had her own time. I have no knowledge of what happened since, except for a few replies I would see that she made with my account. I would imagine over time she finally stopped or got caught since this thread and my messages are finally dying off. I do apologize if you were not helped but thankfully someone at some point during this period offered help in their own way too. So, THANK YOU GUYS for all the patience you gave, and I hope you guys enjoy the root or unlocked bootloader that you got because of this post.
I got mine this way too and there was no pressure for any kind of payment or anything.
It's not like that.

That's my favorite part about all of this! She doesn't try to pressure you into any donations or payment! It's fantastic honestly. Now I have to wait either for the token, or for the msm tool to be cracked for tmo conversion.
True hero right? hahah
I love to watch how people come together for things like this.
We need more of that in the world... Just taking a little of your time to make someone else happy.

She is wonder I didn't need mine unlock but she was willing to do if needed ?
Not that I wouldn't want to do this as I prefer root on any device I have, but as someone who used to work for tmo if she gets caught she could definitely lose her job. I agree with the others you should probably take down the post

I wouldn't donate... Seems not completely ethical.

She isnt doing anything against policy, T-Mobile reps have a lot of leeway with regards to the unlock policy, I have gotten 'manager overrides' to unlock for basically every single tmo device I've ever had since the note5. All I've ever had to do was call customer care. Although this time I pm the aforementioned user because I didn't want to wait on hold until I get a rep that would finally understand how to get it done.

I don't care if she unlocks it, but taking a"donation" is not ok.

Yea I get that it's a gray area, but on the other hand better a voluntary 'donation'to an individual than a high payment to some shady unlock site :/

Or simply waiting for the patched MDM tool and convert to international so you can unlock bootloader without needing:
1. TMobile
2. Unlock key
I understand the views behind the idea of donations. It was never mandatory. If you don't wish to, you don't have to. Simple as that. Either way it's someone going out of their way in our community, to help us out. They at least deserve a thanks of any kind.

Hey everyone!
So I did not realize how much attention this would get. SO, in an effort to help out everyone but keep this a little more low key PM me your phone number and last name! All of this info will be sent to the user for the unlock to go through.
This is both to benefit those with the Tmo variant of the device and keep the user responsible a little more safe and secure. If you have questions please feel free to PM me and ask away!

Thank you. Respect to you for respecting them.
Did you delete the other post that I quoted you on? I tried loading it and it just said "fetching page" forever.
None of my PM's are going through. Would you please message me so I can provide you with the name and number.
Disregard - a T-Mobile rep manually whitelisted my IMEI via Facebook chat, so I was able to SIM-unlock.

Dre is 100% right. My wife is a supervisor in a TMobile call center and the user doing this would 100% lose her job if caught. There is a big difference between getting an override from a supervisor and going into someone's account the way she is. Due to Port out fraud T-Mobile has placed many safeguards on accounts. One of those being pin number/password for the account. Going into someone's account without having it verified through T-Mobile's policy is 100% enough to get her fired no questions asked.
Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome that she's unlocking phones for people but the way she is doing it she would 100% lose her job if her name got out.
So for those who thought the Pm's did not go through... They did lol. I just woke up and updated the info for the person to unlock everyone's devices. Please note it may take some time, who knows how busy a work day could be for them. If it is any help, when I originally requested mine, I did so at 10pm (around then) and it was done the following day around 4pm. So thank you for all of your patience! I will be personally PMing all of you when each one is done.

I made sure a mod was contacted so they could get rid of anything with the previous links, or mentions of said individual.
just did mine, literally look an hour.
Yeah let me tell you. She is fast! A few errors for only 2 people that I know of so far. So they are looking into those. A few others did not show up in the system yet. So they are going to check tomorrow and I will keep you guys posted via PM about that.
