Hey guys, recently I brought used Lumia 1320 from the US, it was originally locked to Cricket but when I got it it was unlocked. There was a bunch of crap on it so I just did factory reset and updated it to 8.1. After I finished playing with it I put the sim card in and it asked me for unlock code... So apparently factory reset locked it back to Cricket I asked them if they could give me the unlock code (again) but they need some info that came with the phone like account information or phone number and I don't have that and prob never will. So my question to you guys is there a way to remove simlock from the device? I come from Android and there it usually comes down to rooting the device, is it possible here as well?
is only two way to SIM unlock phone:
- carrier unlock
- or purchase unlock code from web (try here)
hard (factory) reset cant lock your phone. is possible your phone was locked from start but you not notice that
It was unlocked because it had a sim card inside from the same carrier I'm using and my friend was using it just fine. Idk what locked it, I did factory reset and then upgrade it to the newest version and it doesn't work anymore, asks for unlock code.
The price on these sites is a joke its more than half the phone's worth, I hope simlocks get banned by law and these thieves find a real job.
i make hard reset many times (maybe more than 20x on one phone because tests) and never lost SIM unlock...
if you want sim lock free phone next time buy phone from retail, not from operator... operator have rights to lock phone to prevent people to get cheaper phone and resale it, but must give free unlock service to customer... if you lost proof of purchase (or buy phone without), your problem...
Hello,
i've read a lot of topic about my question.
I have a huawei p20 pro CLT-L29 version who was used a exposition model.
The phone works 100% but when i lock screen the retail mode starts.
I have tried to disble it from developer settings and tried a lot of time to make hard reset but demo mode still there.
I cannot ask to huawei the unlock code for bootloader because i dont want to send him the IMEI code of the exposition phone. I would like to use the online link to ask code but it doesnt work. The only way is calling huawei costumer service or sending an email but i dont lke that way.
There is another way to remove demo apk or install a firmware stock without unlocking bootloader? I mean some kind of apk that allow me to remove demo partition or demo apk from the storage.
Thank u
Why you being so shady about it? If it's legit, and not stolen, just send them the IMEI.
i got it from a friends and he said to not ask huawei the code..other ways?

Thanks for the suggestion, is a tutorial delivered when you purchase? How exactly does it work? I would like to know a bit more first since it looks kinda sketchy and I'm not sure why they can provide an frp unlock while there's nothing public?
its just 20 USD so i tried. I recieved a unlock code based on my imei within 24 hours. Then i pluged in the device, run the PC program and entered the FRP unlock code and afte reboot it worked. I unlocked this way the phone and work since then with no problems.

Intersting, thanks a ton, I'll see if I can fix it by myself and if not I'll try that service.
I am making frp bypasses since years in my repair shop and this was the first time i have to pay for it. Beside that i managed all devices to get frp bypass by some exploits, backdoors etc.

I had some phones too, that I found some tutorials that worked. Whats irritating me is that there are a ton of those "Send IMEI to receive your unlock key" sites, but I can't seem to find the tool to create them or the list that's used for them. Quite weird since I would guess the method should be published somewhere if there are so many bad looking amateurish sites using the same method.
They keep it secret, because they making money.
I can frp unlock almost every device besides p30 for now... They will shure figure a workaround, but i needed it for my customer and the p30 was with lastest security patch.

Any new solutions??
What new solutions? Just pay 20 usd and unlock it.
We need free solutions??
Do we? Just use google search maybe is there a new frp unlocking method.
Do they send you a program for unlocking the phone after you purchase it?
just a code. And beacaouse I know how to do it, i unlocked it by myself. But I think on their website there is a link for the program.
I see. Thanks for the reply. I bought the code and I don’t see there is a link for the program on their website. Are you able to send me the program please?
Just managed to remove FRP from P30 Pro, cost: 0 €/$/£ ?
1. Downgrade to 9.1.0.185Q (use usb otg and memory stick and create dload to root and put files there)
2. After flashing, do a factory reset and then boot to safe mode.
3. Now reset settings, connect to wlan and reboot
4. Voilà
Some months ago, I purchased a Xiaomi Redmi 8 from a local store, here, in Greece.
The device was originally given to my brother who has been using it for about a month or so. He knows nothing about tech in general and I was not with him when he set up his phone, so he created a new gmail and mi account on his own.
A few days ago, he was given another device that he is more familiar with, so he decided to switch to it and give the Redmi 8 to my other brother.
Before handing it to him, he told me to create a backup of his photos and perform a hard reset on it in order to wipe everything in the device. I did so, but when rebooting the device after the hard reset, I came across a message telling me that the device is locked and that I need to log in using my old mi account in order to unlock it.
Well, you may have already understood what the problem is. He doesn't know the password to neither his mi nor his gmail account and he didn't even add his phone number as a password reset backup so there is no way for me to unlock it using that way.
Manual verification doesn't work either, cause the accounts are considered to be new, as there are no previous passwords, emails or any kind of history associated to them.
I searched about it and found out that I had to contact xiaomi global in order to sort this issue out so that's exactly what I did (I tried contacting Xiaomi Greece first but they told me that they couldn't help and that I had to send an email to Xiaomi Global).
I sent an email to Xiaomi describing my issue in detail. In the email I also included everything that proved that I am the original owner of the device, because I understand that without proof they wouldn't be able to do anything.
So I included:
- A photo of the locked device with me holding it
- A photo of the device's box with me holding it
- A photo of the IMEI numbers written on the box and on a sticker that came with the device, which I also included as text (in written form) in the email's body
- A photo of the official receipt that I received from the store upon purchase
- The email that my brother used for the mi account he created (he managed to remember the email but not the password)
After four days of communication, switching to different case managers and with me describing my problem again and again, their final answer was that they simply can't do anything about it, because of privacy concerns.
Keep in mind that I don't want to recover my brother's old mi account, I don't care about it, he doesn't care either. What I'm asking for is to have my legally purchased device unlocked, by either completely removing the mi account that is associated with it or switching it with a mi account that he actually knows the password for.
Since then, I've contacted Xiaomi Global again and again, multiple times, and I always receive the same reply, that due to privacy issues they don't accept any unlock requests. For my own legally purchased device ffs!
I read about similar cases online, that got sorted out without even providing a receipt of the purchase and my case is somehow related to privacy issues and cannot be solved, so I'm left with a totally useless device.
Is there any other way to unlock it, I'm extremely frustrated with their behavior, so much that I think I won't be buying any Xiaomi devices anymore.
I believe there is a mi-tool that will allow one too bypass the activation screen and get into your device os here is a link that can help

I haven't had to try it but people in the mi community have recommended it , other than that I'm sure how else to by pass user login
Unless you remember the user name you can try to renew change the password by logging in on pc
- The email that my brother used for the mi account he created (he managed to remember the email but not the password)
go to https://account.xiaomi.com and retrieve your password by mail and if you connected it to your sim number get it out of your phone and insert it in another one to reserve verification SMS
Hi. I have the same issue. Bypass don't work. Could it be helpful to downgrade the device to older OS? Does anyone has experienced a positive bypass?

I have the same Problem, i purchased a Xiaomi Redmi 8 Pro (ther big one with 128GB Storage) second Hand. The Seller has removed his Google Account but not his Xiaumi Account. So he also has left his Data on the Telephone because he was very busy and asked me to remove it from the Phone.
So it's my first Xioami Device with having a Xiaomi Account and i never had anything to do with such Accounts, only the Google Account that you need on most of all Phones. So i performed a Factory Reset on the Phone and the Phone is now locked by the Xiaomi Account and unuseable. I have everything from the Seller, The Original Box, the original Bill (was originallly purchased in Czechslovakia i think) and the Papers came with the Phone.
Have someone an Idea what i can do? I live in Vienna/Austria and would be very thankful for any form of help to bring the Phone back to Life.
I contacted the Xiaomi Support, i tried some Guides in Youtube Videos with won't work with my Phone or are Fake, tried some Account Unlock Tools.... I have no Idea anymore, maybe someone here can help me out please?

i bought it as a used phone and fastboot means bootloader is locked. is there a way to unlock it via fastboot mode?
To check if bootloader is unlocked, while booting up but before the boot animation, there should be an unlocked lock.
If you can't find that lock then you should go visit a support center or so
If it is unlocked tell me here and I'll help
Unforgently i think it isn't unlocked because i cannot see this unlocked lock at bootimg up. Any ideas?
Tech support
Just follow the method #1 of the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...for-merlin-redmi-note-9-redmi-10x-4g.4233977/
(Method #2 is specific for MERLIN devices. If your device is NOT merlin, you can brick it.)

It will lock bootloader again.
If you have unlocked bootloader and want to backup it, just backup the SECCFG partition.
And then, after the "firmware upgrade" just restore the SECCFG partition.

The Bootloader is already seems to be locked, so its no Problem if the SP Flash Tool will lock it again. But its a good Hint, Thank you anyway.
I just want to have a working Device for Daily use because i sold my other Phone and buyed this one as a used one because a friend of mine use the same Model and is very pleased with it. It has some useful functions huawei doesn't provide.
For now i have to use the reserve Phone from a friend of mine, a LG G3 D855 with 1GB of RAM and Android 5. So i will be very happy if my Xiaomi Redmi 8 Pro working like it should work.
But for now i'm warned and can everybody strongly recommend to look that the seller of an mobile phone has removed ALL of his accounts from the phone befire you buy it.

Unhappy, neither Xiaomi or Google asks if you want to protect your device asking for password if anybody try to wipe data.
You are right, we need to confirm if everything is clear before to buy.

Hi why is everybody hard resetting their phones the old way, in Xiaomi devices the proper way is to do it thru the settings menu or simply logout the mi account of the device (but offcourse doing it this way will ask for a pasword).
In regards to your quetions you may have to options:
1. Ask the seller to remove the phone from his mi account in https://i.mi.com/
2. Jtag the phone or going for the prior mentioned software https://www.androidjungles.com/download-mi-account-unlock-tool/
Actually if you go into recovery (stock one), it has the option to contact support thru mipcsuite. Once I had the good " the system has been destroyed" screen and they fixed it for me w/o even contacting each other
