Network locking

WARNING/DISCLAIMER: This is untested and I do not guarantee it works.
I've seen several people asking if it was possible to re-insert the network locks on our phone. I found out it was possible using this method:
To re-lock your phone, you need the NCC/MNC for the network you want to lock it to and the unlock code.
1. Use of the methods to get the unlock code.
2. Dial *7465625*628*#
3. Enter the NCC and MNC of the network you want it locked to
4. Enter the unlock code (called Control Key)
5. You're phone is locked!!!
In the case of Portuguese networks, NCC=268, MNC=06 -> TMN, MNC=01 -> Vodafone and MNC=03 -> Optimus (not really sure about this one).
I have not tried this method myself, but the code above does show a "Network lock" screen. If someone do try this, can you please post your results?
However, if you kept a backup of the nv_data.bin file before unlocking, re-locking it will be a simple matter of restoring that backup.

wanting to get my phone sim unlocked..

Hello Everyone!
I currently have a Sprint Variant Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I have switched to Tmobile and I am wanting to get this device unlocked in order for me to be able to properly use this phone on another network.
From what I understand, the newer phones use remote unlocking in order to unlock devices and no longer have a code generated using IMEI number.
I have found fairly cheap people who will unlock it on ebay, and with fairly reliable reputation as well.
this is what i have done so far.
1) I have downgraded from the latest version to: G935PVPU2APC5 which i believe is the required version in order to be able to have a device unlocked
2) I factory reset the device
3) I enabled Developer Mode
4) I have enabled USB Debugging
5) I have enabled OEM Unlocking
this is where the issue comes in...
I am unable to use any Dialer Codes in order to access DIAG menus to change stuff around. I need to activate " DM + Modem + ADB " and when i type ##3424# nothing happens. it just calls out.. I was reading online that i have to activate CP Logging in Recovery, but when I boot into recovery the option is not there for me to activate.
I am really wanting to get my device unlocked, and I dont want there to be an issue. does anyone know if that step is necessary or how i can get the dialer menu to work?

Unlocked mines using idoneapps.com. For $35 it can instantly unlock your device, only takes two reboots. You download an app and purchase and click unlock. You can also debrand you phone, read msl and enable hotpsot but that requires rooting.

http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/hwdownload/download

Okay so i'm gonna try to clear up the steps mentioned above:
1. Go to this website http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/hwdownload/download
2. Click the "Unlock bootloader" which can be found under Search for a model
3. It should bring you to the Unlocking Agreement and read it if you want
4. It should bring to a page asking you to provide the information for your phone and you have to change the "Before EMUI5.0" to "Since EMUI5.0" this is really important
5. Fill out the rest and you should get your unlock code within seconds after committing it. Note: it does takes a couple of seconds for the code to come up after you press Commit

It works!!!

i think it's just the same with this one:

Well it essentially is but i tried that method first and couldn't figure it out and then I found this thinking it would be the same problem but it wasn't. This was actually easier

go and check again if its right from official website do the same process and ask for password
open Command and make sure your devices is on fastboot by typing ( fastboot devices )
it should show fastboot
after type like that ( fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ) type your password it should be 16 mix number
thats it
if you did all this and did not work email huawei by ( [email protected] ) and type everything your serial numer .imei . your email screen shot of wrong password they need all info and they answer like after 15h or lets say 24h

Did you request the booloader code with this option enabled "Since EMUI5.0"????'...

ok.. tx.. I will try... they give me 2 times the same password so I think it's right.
when I type fastboot devices I see my mate 9,also when I type fastboot reboot he reboot..
I have to write to huawei..
TX for all

yes..
---------- Post added at 08:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------
I also ask the bootloader code via hicare chat and it's the same code that I get via huawei web site.
so I think that the code is the good one.
I had many phones, always unlocked and rooted but the mate 9 is a bad phone for that.
the best way is to sell it and buy a new one.. ?

just to say that I used dc unlocker.. bootloader unlocked.. great..

LG V35 - Can anyone get into the bootloader?

Cannot find a way to enter the bootloader. Volume down + power doesn't do anything. Same with adb reboot bootloader.

@Cobra04 Did you have any luck in unlocking the bootloader for LG V35 ULM ??

Hopefully it will happen soon, let's keep up the hope.

Been poking around and still can't access bootloader on this phone. Even through ADB I can't get anything but a reboot. Anyone been having any luck?

Nope, LG won't let us unlock bootloader for this device. My first non rooted phone since original Droid. But it's still a test device for Google Fi so I accept it.

1. Go to Developer options.
2. unlock OEM option.
3. Now, you will need IMEI number of your device.
4. To get the IMEI number for the phone, dial *#06# on the phone. You will get the IMEI number.
5. And now connect your phone to the PC.
6. Next, open the command prompt on the PC and type the following ADB Command code to reboot the phone into the bootloader.
adb reboot bootloader

Rahul,
Can this phones bootloader be unlocked using LG-Devs service? I looked over and didn't see V35 listed as a supported device.

Does not work. Did you ever test this on a LG v35? Give some proofs if you did else stop commenting just for the sake of commenting. Thank you.

It's clear you do not know anything about this particular phone.
1) LG has locked out bootloader access for most carrier branded phones starting with 2017 LG G6. Nothing you do will allow that functionality for those affected phones unless you Frankenstein it to another open market variant which allows that access. i.e., How we convert the AT&T H931 V30 to the open market US998 V30. At that point, then you now have fastboot flash commands and can access the bootloader. On H931 V30 (like AT&T V35), you cannot unless you do something like that.
2) You say to get the IMEI number, then don't even tell why you would need the IMEI number. You don't need the IMEI number ever to access a bootloader.
I think you copied and pasted part of some list from some website, which has nothing to do with this V35 phone.

First of all, power off your device. Connect the USB to your phone only. Now pressing & holding the Volume Down key connect the another port of your type C USB to the computer. Now your device will boot to a mode known as Recovery mode. Now find where is the Bootloader option. If you find "Reboot to bootloader" option, select this using Volume+/- & Power keys. Your device will Reboot to Bootloader or Fastboot mode.
Let me know it worked for you or not.

This does NOT work. I tried pressing the following combinations and then plugging the phone via USB into the computer. I was using a Google Fi version of the V35.
No Buttons = Offline Charging mode
Volume down = Offline Charging mode
Volume Up = Firmware Update Screen
Power = Normal Boot
Vol up + Down = Offline Charging mode
Vol Down + Power = Endless Bootloop
Vol up + Power = Normal Boot
Also I think one of these combos turned off my USB support. When I plug the phone into my computer it will charge, but it wont give me the USB options...

LG V35 bootloader unlocked

Hello @ChazzMatt
Someone in Shenzhen China has unlocked the bootloader of LG V35. Looks like he is using similar vulnerability within the verification of bootloader for the V30 model series.
He can unlock the bootloader of LG V35 and LG V40.

I'll believe it when they release their method of unlocking. Until then it's BS.

Okay, do you have proof it will unlock this phone?

I don't know but if there were any root method that doesn't require unlocking bootloader ( like using kingo root or something else that exploit system vulnerability ) you can use dd command to erase LAF partition ( if exist in lg v35 because I don't have this device ) this will remove LG Advanced Flash screen and replace it with fastboot ( did it only in lg g3 )

i emailed LG asking if the V35 unbranded will be added to LG Developer which would allow for bootloader unlock...i got a response that made no sense and didn't answer my question.

any updates?
