I'm on Eclair (2.1), rooted, got the unlock code for my phone. But since I didn't have another network sim card at the time, I tried the "re-lock" method to unlock. Seemed to work at the time. (Didn't know that this method just adds another "accepted" sim card to the internal list.)
Just got another carrier's sim card, and when I put it in and booted, it did not ask for the unlock code. Voice calls work, but the "Network Lock" is still "ON". I've tried "re-locking" to several other MCC/MNC codes, but I never get the unlock prompt.
Does anyone know how I can force my phone to ask for the unlock code?
Or, how do I turn the "Network Lock" off?

Use http://www.communityhosting.net/sgsunlock/
You don't need to use a different sim.. The Network Lock becomes OFF for any carrier.. After unlocking, check by *#7465625#.
Hope this helps.
Worked, thanks!
Worked like a charm.
One question though: If I load a new ROM on, will I need to do this again?
Or can I just re-copy the nv_data.bin file (if necessary)?

Hey everyone really need some assiat,help,guide, or any resources to make my device Unlocked.As i'm not a new guy on this stuff, also this is my second times having this ivy (Z3+) used to be the single sim variants and now with the Dualsim Variants,. Today i decided to unlock the bootloader after i've backing up the TA partitions with IOVYTools, so i do checked the bootloader status with *#*#7378423#*#* so its clearly said Allowed, then all i need is head to sony developer site to pull the secret codes unlock, received the email and put the imei numbera inside and ta daa the secret code comes up , put the devices into fastboot mode, and try to copy that codes but failed ,okay perhaps i need to type that codes manualy and i type with 5times checked that the codes/commad was correct but same result its FAILED,downgrading to some firmware and upgrading even to the latest one really not even help, same error Failed remote command not allowed, CRAP i give up so i put the thread/post here hoping someone or anyone here can tell me where i'm wronged?? I put some pictures here so everyone can see the situations i have.

Download Flashtool from this link install it, run it and follow the bootloader unlock process, enter the code received from sony and unlock it.
For patched kernel, recovery and other things, check the following thread

How is that supposed to work if the Bootloader is locked ?
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled
It is probably only a minor oversight that hinders it from succeeding
Also remove the screenshots( too much info)

You need to create a text file called ulcode.txt containing the unlock code you received from Sony. Then put this file in a folder with your device (phone) name (eg. My device name is CB5A2B7CSV yours should be something similar. You can get the name using fastboot command devices. I see the name of your device in the first line of the third image you posted above!). Then put this folder inside the following path (create the necessary folders):
C:\users\your defult user name\.flashTool\mydevices
Then unlock your bootloader using flash tool. It will take your unlock code from the above mentioned text file and asks for permission for unlocking and will unlock the bootloader smoothly.
Good luck
I was trying to sim unlock bad IMEI (financed) all services refused to unlock I managed to sim unlock very easy
1 you need to convert to international version follow this thread By AnonymousTipster ( great thanks ) (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307 )
2 unlock bootloader
3 type this commands
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot
thats all
you can also backup modemst1 and modemst2 files before this steps
you won't loose imei or have some problem phone works without any problem just tested
Congrats bro
Alright bro, I thought this was an early April fool's joke at first but it's apparently not. Congrats n sorry for the early doubts... I had just read your posts about trying a sim unlock thru some company and it being successful but the tmo app wasn't working so I figured that's where your sim got unlocked it had just carried over to the international version but apparently not. It's crazy that this is how easy it is to bootloader unlock & unlock your sim. Definitely backup your modemst with readback mode in msm
I can help you do what you need as I've done it before. pm me.

1 phone is not stolen its financed ordered from ebay as unlocked I was scammed was not able to return from oversies
2 you can backup your modems and then try deleting with this commands they are not deleting I tryed 2 times
3 after blowfish confirmed that phone was unlocked opened unlock app > permanent unlock was receiving same error delleted app data same error factory reset - same error reflashed firmware same error after that this commands worked
all unlock services included blowfish unlock cellunlocker few one from ebay . tyed many of them they refunded money (blowfish returned credits to account) main reason wan device was not active 40 days this services can unlock bad imei phones but if device was not active 40 days they can't more than month I was trying to unlock but only this commands worked if you think you will loose modems to backup try this method
Download & Open up Terminal Emulator on your phone
Once it's open you'll be greeted with a command line prompt, in which you can enter text commands, the first thing you need to do is enable root access by entering this line (press the enter key on your on-screen keyboard after each command to issue it):
Code:
su
If this is the first time you've used Terminal Emulator a Superuser or SuperSU popup will appear, make sure you grant root access.
Now enter these two commands:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf2 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=2048
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/sdf3 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=2048

gigilie said:
Bro ur funny we use magisk n we don't dd modems thru terminal to back anything up.... Tell me technically what sense would it make to delete your modem how would that unlock your sim? See if u really did unlock ur sim n bootloader for free by flashing to international and then deleting ur modems (lol) then you would have put twrp on and actually rooted upgraded to beta 7 or flashed an aosp (at least that's what I'd assume cause that's what we unlock the bootloader for) so post some screenshots of whatever ROM ur on or a video of the process with u proving ur not lying. Cause as far as I know absolutely no information regarding the devices unlocked sim state reside in the modem. Imei in Efs maybe or on the board in the phone but not on a piece of a stock rom that some of the best developers on here just overlooked but u magically figured it out.... Quit it dude go home

Some people I know discovered this work around in November if u make a modemst back up of both modems first, use msm readback to backup imei, then wipe modem, then sim unlocked, restore modem files and imei with msm readback mode. It's just very risky. So if u know how to use msm readback mode and smt mode then go for this, @nika_bego you are correct. For the haters, grow up man, u are incorrect, this man is correct. There are multiple ways to do things in android. I was part of the initial team that first achieved root with this phone with a locked bootloader via aging kernel. Which then led to wiping the modems..we had to keep it between ourselves or chaos would erupt on xda. Plus the mods get so upset if u talk about hacks, modded apps, imei anything and restoring stuff.
Thanks, good job man

I don't believe this guy either. However it is actually true that converting the TMO variant to the International using this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307 will allow a simple
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
instead of having to go through OnePlus/TMO to get unlock.bin file.
Doing the conversion, then unlocking the bootloader, then rooting as normal. However I do not for one second believe that erasing the modem will unlock the SIM.
Edit: Looks like it might be possible to SIM unlock with this HOWEVER it requires MORE STEPS not only what is listed in the OP.
OP - Can you please update your post with a full, detailed list, of what to do?

U gotta use readback mode on msm to back it up first. Then wipe smt wipe it then use it to restore the modemst. A and b and then u have to restore imei. A quick Google search will help u with that
https://www.xda-developers.com/motorola-moto-g7-plus-t-mobile/
It has NFC and B71 which G7 doesn't have.
Hopefully bootloader will be unlockable. If so, I may get one and paid in full and have it SIM unlocked, and flash RETAIL ROM
Any update on this? Been holding out on upgrading for this if it's true
If this is right it could be the revvl 3 or 3 plus as product sku is tmo revvl this is from wifi alliance
It's the g7 plus and g7 play https://www.tmonews.com/2019/07/t-mobile-revvlry-official-specs-price/
Can we root it using g7 plus method and unlock bootloader same way I currently have the phone
You can try to get bootloader unlock code it won't hurt nothing but as far as rooting I don't know but should be the same

If you can unlock the bootloader, then rooting will be the easy part as you can usually just flash Magisk (or create a patched boot.img in Magisk Manager and flash the patched boot.img). TWRP may even work too, assuming T-Mo didn't heavily modify the underlying software and kernel.
The only question is gonna be unlocking the bootloader as it's not technically branded a Moto device (although is allegedly has the same codename). Moto may not ship a bootloader code to you, you may need to go thru T-Mobile in some way first.

Knowing they (as in T-Mo) doesn't offer codes, which I figured they didn't, then I'd at least try to paste your unlock code on Moto's site. Worst that'll happen is a message will pop up saying you device doesn't qualify.
t mobile g7 plus bootloader unlock
i can confirm that the bootloader for the t mobile moto g7 plus is locked and could not get a unlock from Motorola website it probably has to be paid for to get a unlock. i am unable to confirm at this time if you can get a unlock i got mine on JOD jump on demand. if someone out there gets one paid for and trys for a bootloader unlock please confirm if you can or not after it is paid for. i think you could but i cant confirm that at this time please any ones feed back would be a big help we should all work to gather on this i hope for a bootloader unlock or a work around if someone figures something out but as fas as i know at this time if you owe on 1 there is no boot loader unlock but just maybe the possibility after it is paid i am not shure if you would have to go though t mobile first to get a unlock thanks and anyone's feed back would be very much appreciated.
Also this is probably the same moto g7 build lake as the one off there website but with t mobile branding and a locked down bootloader so twrp and magisk root should work if you can get a bootloader unlock. if someone does please confirm here if it does work or not thanks and i welcome your feedback from anyone.

Ok I'll try it cause it got it for free and it's paid off. Got it from my job as a gift. So I'll definitely check it out then I'm even more interested. But I kinda doubt it cause the bootloader has the name revvl in it in CPU Z. Bootloader goes by MBM-3.0lake_revvl-43c7c77-190517
Ok so no I tried fastboot oem unlock and nothing happens on the phone anyone else has any idea they want me to try. I'm able to check oem unlock but in fastboot the command oem unlock does nothing on the phone

That's because you got to get a unlock key from Motorola. you will first need to make a account with Motorola https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone%2Fbootloader%2Funlock-your-device-b
here is your instructions on how to get a key
Put your device in fastboot mode (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory where you installed the Android ADB (or make sure fastboot is in your $PATH)
At the prompt, type $ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
The returned string will be used to retrieve your unlock key.
Paste together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string without (bootloader) or ‘INFO’ or white spaces. Your string needs to look like this: 0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000 EXAMPLE
Check if your device can be unlocked by pasting this string in the field below, and clicking “Can my device be unlocked?”
If your device is unlockable, a "REQUEST UNLOCK KEY" button will now appear at the bottom of this page.
then get the key put in your email address and you will get UNIQUE_KEY
then in adb put in fastboot oem unlock ((UNIQUE_KEY)) here
then fastboot reboot
If yours is paid for please let me know if it works mine is not paid for.

This is a common method to unlock Motorola smartphone bootloader.
Hopefully you will be lucky to get the code, but you may wait up to 2 weeks after initial release.
I can confirm that Motorola will give you the unlock code.
Findings
UNLOCKING AND LOCKING BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE> BACKUP PERSONAL DATA IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT.
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the moto G7 plus RETAIL firmware. Everything worked fine except google pay, and verity being disabled.
Installing TWRP would always give me a recovery boot loop, so I stopped trying, instead just booting into TWRP with fastboot.
I cannot get verity enabled, even after flashing stock and locking the bootloader, so that means no Google Pay, no Google Fi, no whatever else requires verity.
Looking at
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Shows a flag that verity is disabled and another flag that warranty is void, even after flashing stock.
The stock firmware I found in a firmware repo, because I failed to do a full backup of my system (I only backed up boot, system, and data).
Would anyone be willing to unlock their bootloader, boot into TWRP, do a full backup, and share it, to see if I can get back to stock with verity enabled? I'd love Google Pay back.

Yesterday, I was going to lock my bootloader to cell my Nokia 8 cuz' I needed money. Being the noobie that I'm I didn't have my unlock key saved anywhere. and couldn't get a new one because the stupid Bootloader unlock app doesn't work on Pie. I did know that locking the bootloader doesn't require a key. So I just went with it without remembering that I still had TWRP instead of stock boot img installed. So when I locked the bootloader the phone booted into a screen similar to the unlocked Bootloader warning screen. But it said "Your Device is corrupt. It can't be Trusted and will not boot." Instead. So now I have locked bootloader with TWRP that I can't boot into. I still can boot into fastboot mode but I can't do much Because LoCkEd BooTlOaDeR. The only sulotion is to unlock the bootloader with an unlock key Which I don't have and flash stock boot. So please help. You'll be literally saving my life. This is my first thread ever on the internet so forgive me If I made any mistakes:laugh:
EDIT: I took my phone to the service centre near me and they were able to fix it

So now I have locked bootloader with TWRP that I can't boot into. I still can boot into fastboot mode but I can't do much Because LoCkEd BooTlOaDeR. The only sulotion is to unlock the bootloader with an unlock key Which I don't have and flash stock boot. So please help. You'll be literally saving my life. This is my first thread ever on the internet so forgive me If I made any mistakes:laugh:
EDIT: I took my phone to the service centre near me and they were able to fix it

Hello! I have the same problem! (((You were not interested in what exactly or how you should do to correct the error? And how much money did you get for repair?
Well you can use original OST not NOST and flash signed images (.NB1) without unlocking bootloader.

Only with service point authorization as far as I know. OST (and NOST by extension) usually show you a login prompt when you launch them. Service Points login to a server that generates a temporary unlock key, which allows OST to reflash the partitions. With the proper authorization, even NOST could flash .qlz files (as long as the images inside are official and signed) with a locked bootloader.
Since we don't have service point permission we have to patch the tool to ignore it (both NOST and the hacked OST). It will still try to request the temporary key, fail, and pass an empty value to the bootloader. To get the bootloader to accept the following flashing commands, you have to unlock it.
