Ok, so I've successfully don't the TMobile to international (without unlocked bootloader) trick to unlock my bootloader. My friend wants me to do the same with his, though I just realized he is using his with MetroPCS. Will this method still work? Or should we apply for token to do it? Model number is the same as my TMobile version.
It will still work.

Hello,
I just acquired a new 'Huawei Ascend XT' phone which is sim locked to AT&T. I am currently in the process of unlocking the boot loader and rooting the phone.
I was wondering is there any tool available to Carrier / imei unlock this phone after I have rooted it (or may be even befor rooting it)?
Thanks.
I'm fairly certain you just need to change the apn settings manually.. need to do something weird to bring up the option to add/edit, believe it's holding down the tasks button
Without being carrier unlocked, the phone can only be used on AT&T Prepaid, AT&T, or AT&T based MVNOs. These days AT&T won't give you an unlock code unless you use the phone on AT&T Prepaid for 6 months. You can check eBay to see if any unlockers will sell you an unlock code for a few bucks. Only buy from sellers who have a money back guarantee if their unlock code fails.

Bought 2nd-Hand
I would like to ask if there is any way to carrier unlock. I bought this phone for 20$ on offer up. But when I contacted at&t to request unlock they said it has to be used for 6 months. For me that does not work, as I am already with tMobile and bought the XT for a second phone because of the large device support. I actually love the phone, but as is it is just sitting around. If anyone has or has heard of a way to accomplish an unlock please p.m. Me.or answer in forum. Thanks in advance.
Ps. phone is already bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk 14.0. And latest TwRP.
Can the Sprint essential be bootloader unlocked?
Looking to take advantage of the Sprint deal for $5/mo but only if I can unlock the bootloader.
Yep, it's the same procedure. There's no "Sprint" version. All guides/procedures/roms/etc can be used on the Sprint variant
Bootloader, yes. But if you use a Sprint SIM it will be carrier-locked until you pay the phone off and get the code from Sprint.
*EDIT* Just realized that the OP was asking about Unlocking the Bootloader, which of course is absolutely possible., regardless of the Unlocked version or the Sprint version.
Do u get essential software updates after unlocking the bootloader.
So I ordered my S7 Edge online through eBay (I know I know) anyways the model is shown as SM-G935V on the backdoor of the phone along with the Verizon logo, but when I got Phone Info in settings it shows SM-G935U. I activated it on AT&Ts network just to make sure it's unlocked. My questions are what kind of unlocking process would change the phone's software from 35V to 35U? Is it possible that the company flashed the unlocked model over the phone's software if so how do I check if it's ever been rooted or had anything flashed on it? I want to take the phone to Boost but I'm not sure just HOW unlocked it is & if it will work on a CDMA network other than Verizon. Assuming that it's been fully unlocked it should Right?
I can tell you that it's a Verizon phone originally (which is by unlocked anyways) all they did is flash the U firmware on it (like i did with mine) which is good thing bc it gets rid of all the Verizon bloat. Bt anyways your phone should be unlocked for use on any network
hey guys i have the tmobile 6t and pay for it monthly on tmobile
i unlocked it and put latest 9.0.11 oxygen os on it
does this mean I can use it on ATT or verizon? I'm not sure if its actually sim unlocked without finding someone elses SIM in there. I know i had to sim unlock to unlock the bootloader but will I still be able to use it on verizon or ATT or another tmobile account?
thanks!

If you flashed the international's ROM, it's now SIM unlocked.

I read in the unlocking thread that flashing the international rom allows the bootloader to be unlocked, but not the phone itself. I don't have a different SIM to test my theory, though.
You must request a Sim unlock from T-Mobile. If you did the recent msmtool where you flashed to international version of oos. You would need to reflash with msmtool for tmo in order to request the unlock Sim code. Using the msmtool to flash international does not Sim unlock. That is done through the Sim unlock app installed on tmo 6t os. And must be requested and approved by Twitter for the unlock Sim code. Which you can do through TMobile Twitter, higher success rate

Does Oneplus6T ( lock sim) or unlock tempory sim can flash to international version? And can use without Lock sim?
What's the easiest way to change over to global stock, with the phone pre unlocked by T-Mobile and updated to the latest already.
There is multiple guides and I'm not sure what's outdated or applies for my current situation? Is jumping to global back to T-Mobile again necessary with my sim already unlocked?
would like to know the answer to this as well. Just got mine unlocked by T-mobile and should have the bootloader unlocked by week's end
