Xt1607 Amazon unlock?

So Im trying to unlock this in some way no luck. Anyone on here have success? Ive been looking all over. I really wanna unlock boot loader to root. Such a shame. It's a nice phone. I'd hate to have to. Sell it. Ha

1607 is Moto G4 Play...try looking in that forum area

None of the Amazon versions can be unlocked at this time. Spend the extra bucks to get the non ad version of its important to you.

MetroPCS ZTE Blade Z Max Z982 *Unlock Question*

So I just got the ZTE Blade Z Max a few weeks ago, but I switched back to my carrier when they offered some very lucrative offers to stay with them.
My question is for anyone who got their Z982 close to launch date and didn't stick with MetroPCS. The Unlock Policy is to unlock phones that have had 90 days of paid service, but some users have reported other ZTE phones unlocking even if you didn't make additional payments, provided that you run the unlock app after 90 days from initial activation. It's still many months until I can report back if this is still the case, but I thought I'd solicit responses from earlier adopters.

I bought an unlocked Blade Z MAX on Swappa a couple months ago. I didn't ask the seller how he unlocked it but it has worked fine, been using it on T-Mobile for a couple of months now. :good:

There are sellers of unlock services that can unlock these app-based devices. The loophole used to be much wider, as prices used to be less than $5--now the service is $25-$35.

My z982 came with an app called unlocking. Is it for unlocking the phone?

Yea after 90 day of the phone being on don't think it needs to be active just needs to be on click that and follow what it says and it will unlock the phone for all carriers I have this same phone and have used it for all my metroPCS phones

I unlocked my z982 just after two weeks with metro. I used unlockbase for just under 12 bucks and went to T-Mobile, couldn't be happier, but I'm still stuck with the cheesy MetroPCS boot animation due to the locked bootloader.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news (actually not really that bad), but if you paid to unlock a MetroPCS phone just to switch to T-Mobile, you wasted your money. T-Mobile owns MetroPCS, so even if you didn't wanna wait out the 90 days, you probably could have got it unlocked for free without too much hassle.

Yes
I was originally going to put the phone on at&t, or sell it unlocked. What a waste of a phone though, Nova launcher at least has the option to to hide the metro bloat. The camera is amazing, but overall I can't stand ZTE.

tmobile oneplus 6t unlocking

The OnePlus 6t from T-Mobile USA is a grate phone don't get me wrong but OnePlus should have nto let them lock the bootloader. Come one the process to get it unlocked is bad you have to get the Sim card slot unlocked by TMobile then go to OnePlus com to unlock the bootloader and I did that and it did not work to get the code from OnePlus it's been like 2 weeks for me waiting from them and calling to get it resolved. So I'm righting this to ask everyone to pleas help me out by pleas giving me a there unlock code after they use it on there phone so I can install havoc os 2.0 on the op 6t. What in and getting this code from OnePlus does not work and they say it's going to come but never does for me.

I'm going to guess that the unlock code is phone-specific and tied to the IMEI. I seriously doubt that OnePlus and T-Mobile would have accepted a bootloader unlock that could be duplicated so easily.
Your best bet for recourse here is to continue to hold OnePlus and T-Mobile accountable for the delays. I got my code in right around a week and that seems to be the norm from other reports. If T-Mobile has granted your bootloader unlock through the proper channels, and if you really have been waiting an abnormally long time, there should be no reason why they are taking longer in your case. If you have to, take to social media like Twitter and the forums where the issue can be seen by others who might be considering purchasing the phone through T-Mobile and who might be swayed to go another route.

The codes are unique to each phone; someone else's code won't help you.
Why not return the phone and buy direct from OnePlus?

Can't return the phone because I have had the phone for two months

Looks like you have to wait, then. Sorry!
I don't understand why anybody interested in modding their phone would by from T-Mo, since the need to go through the unlock process was well documented.
You could also sell it and buy a new one from OnePlus but of course you will take a financial hit.
Good luck!

The resion I bought the phone from them is because the way it connects to the network is better then when it was bought from oneplus. I know it's the same phone and antenna but it's just something that makes the phone work better and I think it's because it's certified buy TMobile. Don't know thou

What? This makes literally no sense. It's the same phone just different software an international model will work 100% the same on T-Mobile. And dude spell check is your friend that is a mess.

Not really man sorry to burst your bubble but OnePlus sead that had to change things in the phone to work 100% on the TMobile network. Would not say what they did.

Link? Because I'm certain this is not true otherwise people would not be able to use international on T-Mobile or any other non T-Mobile phone on T-Mobile.

So much garbage in this thread. I'm on the TMO version, running international firmware, and it's flawless. Not a single problem getting sim unlock and bootloader unlock (not to mention that my phone is NOT paid off), and there are many others with the same experience. Do better. It's not that hard.

I got my phone Sim unlocked within 2 days of getting in on November 1st. Didn't have to make any payments on it or anything. Soon as I was Sim unlocked I submitted my request for unlock token. By 11/8 I was Sim and bootloader unlocked. Been running international firmware since. Haven't looked back. International firmware SO much better then what tmo provides.
If it's been two weeks since sending to OP I'd be on them asking for a status and a reason for the lengthy delay. OP has stated the unlock token is 7 day waiting period and I got mine right at day 7. I'd hound them for a reason and request a unlock token asap

I am a trucker (READ: DRIVE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY!) who had the TMO OOS 3 WEEKS before sitting down to swap it away! Have been with the unbranded one now for the best part of another 3 weeks, and all i can say that all that "optimized" mumbo jumbo works to a degree, from what i can tell from this dude!

Damn so I tried once asking tmo to unlock sim but they told me to pay it off first....but next time what I will say is I'm leaving the country for a couple months and I need the sim unlocked....you think that'll work?lol

I'm ready to make the move to Oneplus

I've been a diehard Samsung guy all the way back to the S5. I'm on the note 8 now and my wife is on the S9+. I prefer to have my device rooted but Samsung /Verizon has made it increasingly difficult with each new generation of phone.
I've noticed since I am on the Verizon network, there are not many choices to switch to that you are able to unlock the bootloader. Verizon wants to keep them all locked up tight.
In my research I have discovered that the 6T may offer me a way out. I also understand that it's not without it's share of problems. I've noticed many posts with people saying their texts do not work correctly. Many others said they had to call Verizon and tell them the 6t is not a CDMA phone and one member said Verizon would not activate his CDMA-less 6t.
I think I may still be willing to give it a try but one thing I noticed when I do a search for a Oneplus 6t on Amazon, every listing says NOT COMPATIBLE with Verizon. I think they are only saying that because the 6t does not have CDMA capability but it does have LTE and because of that it should be compatible. Am I correct?
I do not want to buy it if I can't use it on Verizon.

I just got my Oneplus 6T last Thursday. It is a tiny bit finicky about getting the drivers to keep working for unlocking, rooting, and flashing, otherwise once I had it set up, to activate it on VZW, I just had to log into my account and make the required CDMA-less choice online and BOOM, it just works.

I bought it straight from oneplus online. It's the non TMobile dual SIM. Took maybe two days.
My Nexus 6 still works, but it's time and I'm happy.

I'm on Verizon contract. I had no issue with getting my 6T on my line switched to cdma-less. Also buy it from OnePlus directly you can buy a warranty replacement plan witch Verizon will not cover cause they don't sell the device. I came from the unlocked Google Pixel 2 XL. I will never buy a phone from Big Red again. Unlocked and free is the way to BE???.

Thank you guys. I agree with you both. I'm so tired of being under their thumb. I like having control of my phone and what's on it.
If I weren't a truck driver I would have already left Verizon long ago and tried to find a cellular service provider that gives me more freedom, but I travel to a LOT of backwoods places where, if I didn't have Verizon, I would have no signal.

Actually, being able to buy unlocked devices that work on Verizon is the ultimate freedom. The best phone on the best network.

The Chinese version will not work.
The international version is the version that work. Buy directly from OnePlus to make sure it't the right version.
I'm using my 6T on Verizon with no issues.

Good point teddyearp, Verizon is the best network and that together with an unlocked phone is the ultimate in freedom.
Thank you tech head, I will be sure to get the international version straight from oneplus.
I did a lot of searching before deciding on the 6t. Am I right that the 6t is the only new phone that you can purchase in the US that is unlocked or can be unlocked and that is compatible with Verizon?

There is also the Google pixel line from Google also. Like I said I came from a pixel 2 XL and I can honestly say since I got my 6t I haven't looked back at my pixel. Way more BANG for my buck. I could have purchased two of the high-end 6Ts (8gb ram and 256gb storage) like I have for the price of one pixel 2 XL. I paid almost $1,200 including warranty with that for a unlocked 128gb Pixel 2 XL. Now for my OnePlus I paid $629 plus a extra $150 for a 2 year warranty. I baby my devices but accidents do happen. Even though I never had one but just in case cause it's better safe then sorry. You won't regret your OnePlus I've been reading about these flagship killers for a few years and been waiting for them to be compatible with Verizon. The long wait is over.

Oh yes that's right. The pixel phones. My son, who is away at college loves his pixel and as hard as it may be to believe, even though I've always used android phones (android being from google), I am extremely anti google and would not buy a pixel. I like apple even less so I use android but I don't use chrome. One of the things I always try to accomplish when I get each new device, is to root it and remove as much bloatware and all the google stuff I can without breaking it. Plus I like to stop as much of the telemetry as I possibly can.
I really appreciate the fact that the oneplus has a much lower price and yet is still powerful. Yes the long wait is over
I can't wait to get my very own flagship killer!

bought my 6t one month ago to replace a pixel 3 xl. i do not regret it one bit. the 6t just feels better in the hand to me. popped the sim out of the pixel and into the 6t and instant working except for MMS and i got on the verizon website and did the chat (couldn't find the link myself for CDMA-less texting) and it worked within minutes. zero issues so far. (sorry for the run-on sentence)

If it is from Google it should be posible and straight foward.
Though, if you bouht it and can't unlocked you should consider looking this thread as we got our hands on the MBN files of Pixel 4 which allow us to unlock any bootloader

Well I am not so sure. This was the first time I bought a locked phone, so I can't really tell you. All I can say is that on that thread we created a way to unlock the bootloader, that's all.
Though Pixel 5 wasn't a good phone, it had worse performance, bad sound quality and so on.
Pixel 3 is getting old, won't recive android 13 and 4 GB of RAM for Android isn't enought, it won't keep apps open in the background.
Keep this in mind if you are buying one of those phones

I understand,I don't care about Android 12 and probably above and I think Pixel 5 is awesome phone but from reading through the comments I thought that you find a way to unlock the phone to work with all phone cell companies not the bootloader that's what I got from reading.
So your method will unlock the bootloader on a Verizon Pixel 3 with bootloader lock and unlock it, because I have one I was about to send back, but no need if bootloader can be unlocked.

Well I can't guarantee to you that, what I can say is that a figure out a method that COULD unlock permantly the bootloaader.
I am confident to the point I bought a locked ATT Pixel 4 XL from ebay on mid year, but didn't unlock it yet, just manage to unlock the SIM, so I can use mi Vodafone SIM and VIVO SIM.
I am going to leave a link to that thread here, but it needs to be tested and I can't do it because I don't have more phones to test, so I am waiting to see if someone with an older phone can.
If you want to try it and save some cash it's up to you!
Let me know what you decide,
Happy Christmas!!!
