In the development section there is a tool called HTC super tool, some people say they've had success with that... If that doesn't work, Google is your friend

The only unlock code that will work will be the one provided by the OEM, namely HTC
You'll just have to wait till you have it and then get your identifier token to generate your unlock code

Rooted, remove Device Unlock App possible?

Hi,
I just bought from Ebay an H872 TMobile LG G6 and found out it's BAD IMEI and can't do SIM UNLOCK or cost too much with Device Unlock APP.
One question, any chance to remove the preinstalled Device Unlock App from phone and revoke the SIM UNLOCK CODE instead?

If it is truly a bad IMEI that will not help. Every carrier will check the IMEI when you try and put it on their network and reject it.

It's doable, just check your phone's IMEI on t-mobile servers here: https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx
Also to be sure, check your IMEI also here: http://imeipro.info

I've got a locked H872. I contacted Tmo about unlocking it, and they said that I had to have the original owner contact them to have it unlocked, but they will unlock it. I bought the phone from a guy that bought it from the woman who purchased the phone out right from Tmo. The guy I bought it from used it on straightalk with their Tmo SIM. Anyways, I've been looking for a SIM unlock method that I could do myself, to no avail. In 2014 I SIM unlocked a Sprint XT1056 using the NVITEM software...is there anything like this available for this device

I have a similar requirement, I purchased unlocked t-mobile lg g6 but after 30 days it showed up a message "temporary device unlock has expired" and now it is not accepting my Indian sim network.
If you or anyone else reading this post please let me know if there is such software exists that can help unlock it. :crying:

No, custom roms are not the same thing as sim unlocking your phone. You can ask your carrier to unlock it once paid off, or use an online unlocking service such as cellunlocker.net.

MI 9 locked to Vodafone

Hey guys
I was wondering if I am able to unlock the bootloader of this phone and flash Xiaomi EU Rom but I am on locked Vodafone network so I am not sure if I will be able to do this because something might go wrong. If anyone has any knowledge on this subject can you please help me out

In a telegram Mi 9 Group I read that someone was in the same situation and he open the bootloader and flashed via Mi Flash a global rom and lock the bootloader successfully without problem.
Do you have telegram app? Search Xiaomi Mi 9 - Espanol on it, and ask there about what did you want to do.

How do you know you are locked on Vodafone? Mine wasn't network locked

Not every phone under contract is locked, if you have a spare SIM from another network it may be worth checking.
Either way - I suspect you won't have any issues. The part of your phone that ROMs are flashed to is on a separate chip to where the network lock is configured AFAIK.

Thanks for your help I shall give this a try
Edit: you were correct sir I tried a sim from a different carrier and it worked perfectly

A dual sim phone is never locked to a specific carrier. You may get some that are "branded", so they have a bit of carrier specific bloat that can be uninstalled, but they never come locked.

I did to v 9 something. Using the mi flash tool or whatever it's called (not at my pc now). That also unlocked the dual sim as the 2nd slot didn't work before.
