If I were to get the Honor 5X on contract, do you think that the carrier would prevent me from unlocking the bootloader?
The carrier would be Three - UK.
Thanks.
(Don't ask why I want it on contract )
Honor 5x is unlocked out of the box . u dont need to worry of its lock status .

Contract honor first, that's the weirdest thing, since this is should only unlocked, how it got locked?!
Try contacting them before proceeding with anything
You would have to contact AT&T if they provided you with your device. As they will have the SIM unlock code and not Honor. If your device is branded by AT&T.

The thing that is absolutely weird is, honor 9 isn't available in the US, secondly it is an unlocked device (not sold locked by any carrier)

Unless AT&T managed to get the rights for the device to be sold by them.

Not any career in the us is selling the honor 9, he should contact honor first, they claim it is unlocked, so it should be unlocked

Honor 9 is carrier unlocked so the problem is really with your carrier.
anyone know Honor 9 will be DSDA (dual sim dual active) or DSDS (dual sim dual standby) ?

Hey guys and girls.
Does anyone have experience with Funkyhuawei with a phone that Huawei didn't give the bootloader unlock code to?
Preferably a Mate 20 Pro of course.
I'm thinking about giving it a try but I would obviously have no TWRP and no Magisk.

I got my phone from funkyhuawei, 8gb 256 gig model. They say they cant provide the boot loader unlock code as it is locked from Huawei. At this moment in time it is not possible to unlock it.
I used FunkyHuawei for updates for my P20 Pro with a locked bootloader since OTA updates never seemed to arrive and the service works well. Since they only have build 122 currently for the International Mate 20 Pro which I am already on I haven't tried it with the Mate 20 Pro yet.
Bootloader unlocking codes and rebranding aren't going to be offered for this phone and the rooted Mate 20 Pro phones they were selling apparently lose root the first time you update the OS so that was a complete waste of money.
I'm happy with the update part of their service but they don't respond to emails--ever. The best way to get FunkyHuawei updates is via Twitter.
I ordered an accessories bundle from them for the Mate 20 Pro but haven't received anything so far including anything to indicate that my order was ever received, processed or shipped (it's been a week) so the jury is still out on their store. The order was paid for with PayPal so I know they did get my money.
It seems like FunkyHuawei might be a one man operation.
I didn't know that they do sell physical products like a pre rooted device.
However, I did get a very minimalistic reply to my support request.
Since I don't know the service and the price of the root service for one phone is quite high, I don't want to risk spending money for nothing.
I bought my Mi Pad 4 recently from an aliexpress seller, came with some version of the MIUI EU global ROM with bootloader already unlocked.
My question is: how can I attach this device to my own Xiaomi account in case I (read:accidentally) lock my bootloader and needs unlocking once again?
I know this is an old thread but I'm curious to know if you've made a progress. I also got my Mi Pad 4 recently and came across with horror stories about accidental locking on MiFlash. My current understanding is that you need a SIM (with a phone number) on your device to link it with your Mi account. But this is not possible for non LTE devices.... Actually mine is the LTE version and I've just got a new SIM, so it should be fine for now. But I am still curious to know what you're meant to do to start the countdown timer if your device doesn't take a SIM. Can you link another device with a SIM (perhaps your normal mobile phone?)? Or does xiaomi not give a t*** about tablets (of their own)?

any news on this ? is the UNLOCKED brand new tablet still tied to the seller account and so it cannot be tied to the final user account ?

If I am not wrong, if device is unlocked , it is connected to an account used to unlocking. If you will want repeat this process, the software will refuse connecting device to new account.
Maybe sim card is a workaround ?
Never buy new device unlocked. The used one no problem, previous owner will help you.

Have a Google on it. It seems there may be workarounds or possible reset by emailing xiaomi.

Is anyone here aware of how to get a Nord N200 5G by Metro sim/network unlocked so it can be used in Canada? I put my T-mobile sim in it out of the box and it's working on tmobile network without unlocking it, but I need to send it to my father in Canada so he can use it there on Canadian networks. Is boot unlocking same as network unlocking?
I googled it and some websites are charging $69 to unlock it? Anyone aware of any other online service which does it cheaper than $69? Thanks in advance.
Bootloader unlocking is not the same as SIM unlocking.
I'm unaware of any unlocking services for Metro phones.
I need unlock Nord N200 5G by Metro sim/network. I got bootloader unlock code.

If you go into a real Metro or T-Mobile store (cooperate store) say that you will be going out of the country for awhile they will unlock early device unlock your phone or if you know or are in the military and go in they will defiantly unlock your device . Just call your carrier to find out which store location is a corporate store they will tell you but be honest tell them why and they will send you to appropriate place .

Just a quick warning: DO NOT say you're in the military to get your SIM unlocked, unless you actually are. You could legitimately go to jail for that.
I live outside USA, since 29-Nov-2021,
There is a new Thing Called Temporary Unlock now with new Android Models , so you may not able to get it permanently get it unlock. You can request the temporary unlock 5 times in a year , 1 month for each time. So this Out of Country thing may not work any more
I find it hard to believe there aren't any reputable/ cheap sim unlock services for the n200 on metro. the only one I found is $70. if you don't own the device for 180 days metro refuses to unlock it for free.
Anyone tried the $70 unlock service I tried a 50 one called official sim unlock and they couldn't do it and refunded half my money
MOD ACTION:
Thread closed since it has deteriorated to paid unlocking services with links. This is not allowed on XDA.

In short, make sure the seller has paid the phone off and his service isn't overdue. The seller then submits an unlock request through AT&T.
