Guys im gonna buy a used galaxy note 5 without warranty, what should i check before buy? Any specific faults with the phone? i cant return after buying.
Go to a sprint store to get the IMEI checked this way they can add it right then and can't be marked lost or stolen after you buy.
Need to unlock it, did you know somebody on ebay or online service that they can do this remotely.
Hello guys.
I had recently bought Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G in Serbia.But , i didn't know that it was locked on T-mobile network.
In our country , we don't have T-mobile provider.
I have called T-Mobile USA but they said that the account exists for that IMEI and that they couldn't unlock the phone because i didn't know any info about account.
Is it possible to unlock phone ? The option for unlocking bootloader is not showing in developers mode.
Is it maybe hidden ?
Thank you very much !

you need to go back to the person that sold it to you and have them go through T-Mobile to get it unlocked. If they can't do that for you, than its a stolen phone.
The first one I bought late 2019 was locked and I had to go through the usual waiting game procedure. I got another one from aliexpress yesterday (global rom) and it's already unlocked. At least it says so on boot screen and dev settings. Is this a usual thing Xaiomi do.... pre-unlock older models? cheers....

Both me and my cousin's note 7 came locked. In your case I believe the bootloader was unlocked by the previous owner or the seller before it was sold.
no one store sell devices with unlocked bootloader.
you bought an used device from a previous owner who didn't know how to relock the bootloader.
I've also bought once a phone with this issue. Not all sellers are honest and some of them just trying to sell you some trash. I've personally started using extensions to monitor the sellers trust factor, parcel tracking and items real quality based on qualified reviews. Here is a link to the tool - https://alitools.io/en
chances are you bought a previously used phone, i would recommend restoring it with Xiaomi tools and flashing the stock factory firmware to make sure the previous user didnt leave anything malicious on the phone.
Hello Guys,
I bought a pixel 5 from the Ebay . It's my mistaken to choose "locked phone" (T-mobile carrier).
When it arrived to Thailand, I cannot use it.
Is there anyway to unlock it ?
Thank you so much.

Ebay doesn't let you refund by any chance?
I have no luck. It does not change.

You can try to get in touch with T-Mo support on Twitter to unlock it. Here's a thread about it. Seems they are actually quite helpful.

There are also some services online that will help you unlock your phone. You'll have to pay for it, but I'm not sure of the cost since I've never had to do it. Here's a link to one service, but you can probably go online and find others.
