Hey guys, i wanted to order a oneplus 3T but the problem is that im getting it shipped from the uk to the country that i live in...the problem is that im not in the country list where oneplus has its support...so i was wondering could someone help me by giving me a link or telling me some steps how could i carrier unlock it...??
I believe all Oneplus's are carrier unlocked.
O2 in the UK are known for locking their phones but they have not locked the 1+ even on contract.
EDIT: Maybe its not on the support list because of the network modes?

All of OnePlus' devices are unlocked. They have never been locked to any specific carrier. So you have nothing to worry about.

being a smart-a** and stealing the other replies..
step 1: order phone
step 2: use phone
if you follow those steps exactly, you will be ok.
Note: I am not responsible if you follow these steps and brick your phone.
As others have said there is no specific carrier lock on the phone but if you are worried that it may not support the mobile bands in your country use this website to check http://willmyphonework.net/
Yea oneplus does not carrier lock, the bootloader is locked but that is easily unlocked. Aslong as your using a gsm carrier you will be fine.
Hello ladies and gentlemen.
I am looking to buy the N950FD singapore version of Note 8. Can anyone tell me if all devices of this variant is bootloader unlockable? I did see the twrp for FD and I also did several researches, some say there is no OEM unlock option for this model until 7 days later it will show after activation? There is a method to skip that and retrieve OEM unlock option straight away.
I just want to confirm this, not willing to buy the Snapdragon version because of lacking custom rom support and ability to unlock bootloader...
Thank you for your time.

I don't have the Singapore version, but I do have the N950FD from Dubai which is bootloader unlocked. To my knowledge all other Exynos variants of the Note 8 are also bootloader unlocked. Yes there is a 7 day wait period to toggle OEM Unlock on some Exynos phones, but there is also a workaround for that posted as a sticky. Hope this helps.

No problem. You can read through the oem unlock thread too for more info on the 7 day timer... I think there were specific posts about the singapore model, but probably from before the workaround and fix were discovered.
Hello guys;
A friend of mine went to mainland China and brought me an Mi 9 Chinese version;
We both are from Brazil, and I'm thinking about keep the Chinese version, is there any major downgrade to stay on it?
I was searching around the forum about to flash the European version, but I found it difficult and I'm so worried about mess everything and brick it.
So, that being said, I'm not a heavy user, I just need it for Android Auto, Spotify, Whatsapp and the banking application (mainly it's important).
What you guys think?
Does it have a very detailed step-by-step from Chinese rom for Global/Europe?
Thanks everybody!

I have the same one 8gb ram China phone, I am in UK, first thing my 4g don't work as I need a band 20 (800) of UK networks 4g, but a global rom should sort that out, you need to unlock the bootloader first for that you need to log into your mi account and than keep using the phone for 360 hours than you will be allowed bootloader unlock, if the 4g working? cheers

Flashing a Global or any rom will not do anything to your band 20. So far it is not possible to modify the bands on the Mi 9.
@SanderVisions, I have flashed Xiaomi.eu rom without major problem, it is quite easy but you need to unlock bootloader first. I couldn't flash Global rom on my phone but I think it is my mistake (I messed up with the flash tool at first). Anyway, quite satisfied with the Xiaomi.eu so far, at least it is working for me

Hi, SanderVisions,
I´m in the same situation. I was in Shanghai 2 weeks ago and buy a chinese 8 gb Mi 9. I´m from Brazil too and my bootloader is 2 days of be unlocked.
When you say "european version" you mean xiaomi.eu ROM or the EEA version of official firmware from xiaomi ?
Because it´s made more sense to flash the GLOBAL version if you want to stay in official firmware.
But, as far as I know, to change to other ROM you need a unlocked bootloader and there are some reports that bank applications can have problems with it. You can´t look the bootloader again, if you change the ROM region
Or maybe this problem is related to the root process.
Maybe someone can give more info about unlocked bootloader/ root and bank applications.
At the moment, I think that I will stay with the chinese firmware some more days/weeks until the developers explore a little more of this great phone.
Thanks
Hello guys, I think I'll be in the chinese version for now, when there's a workaround to make the bank app run in unlocked bootloaders I will change it.
My 4G works with no problems here in Brazil, everything works perfect in this phone, just the bloatware chinese, my only concern if this apps will drain my whole battery.

Good thing your 4g is working, someone I know have installed the global rom which sorts out the 4g problem in UK, I am just waiting for the 360 days to be over so that I can unlock bootloader, when you root after bootloader unlocking there is a settings in magisk to hide magisk from apps and if its checked Google pay and other banking apps works but some people still get problems, cheers

Hi, I apologize if this is easy info to find, I have tried to search but have been unsuccessful.
I have an unlocked s20fe, I am missing some vzw features, mainly video calling. Can anyone tell me...
1. Is it possible to flash this device
2. Can I find a vzw official rom? Or one based off of it?
I have been out of the rom/root game since back in the days of the note 3 and razr Maxx. So I apologize for my current ignorance.
Thank you for your help!
The US Variants of the Galaxy phones cannot have an unlocked bootloader = no root.

Not true. There are paid services that will unlock the bootloader, though folks may not be comfortable with the method and price.

How about a vzw rom? Any link to a reputable service? None of the devices that I used in the past had "unlocked bootloaders". They were all dependant upon an exploit that someone took advantage of, so not really concerned if it is not an 'official' unlock. Thanks for the help!
Bump for a link?
Is EU version SM-G780FZBDEUB rootable? I am buying unlocked https://d.pr/i/vwfVEY. If it isnt then perhaps I will go with Oneplus 8T
Go for 8t
So I was wondering if all global models of the XZ3 have bootloader unlock allowed:yes because I wanted to get one I saw for a good price and get a rom on it to replace my useless sov36 XZ1, and the model that I'm looking at is the H8416, thanks for reading!
