Only way past that is getting T-Mobile to unlock it or pay a service to get it unlocked.

Cellunlocker.net I've had great experiences with. Just did a ZTE ZMax Pro from metopcs yesterday that has the app unlock. It took about 30 minutes.
You might can find some cheaper ones if you have eBay just search for T-Mobile app unlock but usually those are slower.

You would need to ask T-Mobile or pay for an app unlock usually $20-$40 and only if the phone has a clean IMEI.

I called tmobile, and they couldn't make this app working. This is only because bootloader is unlocked?

It may not work if it's been rooted etc what error do you get? Also T-Mobile has to do something on there side before the app will actually unlock the device.

There is no error, just kicking me out of this unlocking app. I have a green light from tmobile, however they couldn't make it work.

Yeah the app would give an error if you couldn't unlock. Only way may be need to relock boot loader if that's possible? I'm not sure don't own the V20. But the unlock app is the only way

Just really afraid to going back to stock. You never know if can root it again. Is it right?

indeed if your bootloader is unlocked, that ****ty app will not unlock your sim. I found this out when I re-locked my bootloader and the app worked. but by then I already had T-Mobile unlock my sim manually, which took a lot of calls and effort. any way unlocked i the bootloader again and the app just kept spinning.

I was on software version 10j during that and yes, I was able to. While I have not tested it myself, people say if you're on 10k you can still downgraded to 10j to root.

Is the unlock service down still for T-Mobile, I have a LG V20 I need unlocked. I just bought it & when I tried to unlock it using the app it fails, says phone not eligible. I checked the IMEI at T-Mobile web site& it comes up outstanding balance due on phone. But yesterday I recieved text messages from T-Mobile confirming the guy who sold me the phone made a payment plan agreement, something like 3 installment to get acct upto date, but tried unlocking after I recieved notice of payment arrangements, & still no good on unlocking with app. I'm hoping I can get it done paying a service, since I'm planning on using out of USA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The unlock service was never down. The phone/past due account has to be fully paid off before T-Mobile will unlock the device.

Oh ok, but there isn't anyone that offers a paid service to unlock? If not then I'm going to have to wait for all the guy's payments to clear before I can unlock it?

I'm assuming that people don't understand where they enter their unlock code. If this is anything like the other Android devices I've owned, then they have to stick in a sim card that doesn't belong to the carrier it's locked to. After you do that, it will ask you for the code to enter in.

Well obviously some of the phones that where unlocked do not register to the cell network anymore. They can not even scan for networks.
So if you want to provide some help here then please:
Tell us how the unlock process worked. Especially did you phone reboot after you entered the code. How long did the reboot take, ...
If you can an want please provide a logcat of the radio from the moment of boot until the data connection is established.
Thanks
I got my unlock code emailed to me, but I'm going to get a new phone at Costco today. The deal is just too good to pass up vs. from the T-mobile store.
After I get the new phone I'll unlock it!
Did they get their codes from tmobile or another source? Even in the instructions it said it was gonna reboot. Mine did after I typed it in then the reboot was as long as a normal reboot. And that's it

Mytouch 4g Unlock???

Ok so here's the deal. I know after root, unlocking the mt4g is simple. The root method i use always unlocks the phone.
But the thing is my friend wich bought a mytouch 4g locked lives in another country and is without root, and she's illiterate when it comes to windows and commands so having her root it is out of the question...
Is there any way to have it unlocked, or find out the unlock code without having to be rooted?
Any help would be much appreciated.

just remote access her computer and do it for her. or call t-mobile give them the IMEI number and they'll send you the code.
Yea, you can use an app like TeamViewer or such and root it from your pc.

Sim unlock

Hello and happy new year to the great dev's and everybody who made this forum a success.
I wanted to know if we're going to see any sim unlock for the sprint galaxy s7 edge for international use?
I know this is no big deal to the great developers here but as we know this phone has its boot loader locked. Or is it possible to sim unlock without unlocking the boot?
There was a guy in here who was offering the unlock domestic and international. He was asking for 11 dollars. I did it it works great. Tried an At&t sim on my Sprint S7E worked like a charm. Search you should find him. He has you contact him via Skype and walks you through it.

I tried the solution from idoneapps.com. Seems to have worked...I can put an AT&T GoPhone sim and it is recognized. I haven't activated the sim, though, so it doesn't connect to anything yet.

Rooting will not unlock the phone. You need to stay with Sprint for 50 days to be eligible for unlock. If you are planning to reuse on a different network, better return the phone.

If you can't put another SIM in the phone from Verizon, T-Mobile, etc and have it work; it is not unlocked.
