I just upgraded my unlocked and rooted [email protected] GT-I9100M phone to cm-10.1.3-rc2 and when I reboot, I get the message:
SIM network unlock PIN
So I’m thinking perhaps the upgrade caused the3 phone to lose it's unlock?
WiFi works on the phone, but when I try to go to the Google Play store I get the error:
No connection
I downloaded and installed the GalaxSim Unlock.apk, but when it tries to unlock, it fails connecting to the Google Play store.
I managed to find my old apk for "Galaxy S Unlock" and installed it - it runs, but when I go through the steps, the phone reboots and is always still locked.
I'm a bit freaked out and have no idea what I can do at this point, can anyone suggest a way out of this?
Thanks,
Trevor

Ok, figured it out.
Downloaded and flashed newest google apps which cleared up the Google Play Store error, then proceeded with GalaxSim Unlock which unlocked the phone and got rid of the "SIM network unlock PIN" error.
So I bought a Metro l9 figuring I would unlock it and use it on t-mobile. Got an unlock code. When I go into the unlock menu and select network unlock a message comes up that says "your phone is not personalized" Anyone help? I have read on other forums that the message means it is already unlocked but When I put my tmobile sim in the phone has a message of "Phone is SIM service provider locked" Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I got a Moto E off eBay with a google account tied to it and I can't get the bootloader unlocked b/c I can't access the settings screen.....so its currently FRP locked. Is there a way to downgrade the firmware back to 5.0.2? I think that may help b/c when i try to unlock the Bootloader on 5.1, it tells me to enable OEM unlocking but I can't get to that screen....I don't think 5.0.2 has that option so it should just let me unlock bootloader...

Could try flashing the applicable firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/stocks-firmwares-moto-e-t3113235) via RSD Lite. Since it's officially signed by Motorola you don't need to unlock the bootloader.
However, the OEM Unlocking toggle you're talking about (in Settings > Developer Options) is in fact present in 5.0.2, at least in the XT1527/XT1528 5.0.2 firmwares.
so i guess i have a paperweight then....GRRR....
RSD Lite don't even see my phone
Sorry to bump an old thread but the problem is that the *#*#4636#*#* code does nothing from the dialer. Could we possibly downgrade to an older version with an older dialer???

Yes you can open any app with google now. Just type settings in the search bar and click the link(you dont have to be connected to internet). go to security and factory reset. FRP will be removed after reboot.

thanks for reply but It doesn't work. in offline it says "found nothing" and when internet connected it says "update play service for make it work".....
Accessed Settings But Still No Joy
Used this method to access settings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4sQ73IoHQc but still no joy for me.
Trying to switch to guest user just puts you back into primary user, can't access developer options and factory reset button greyed out (XT1506). Hopefully someone else may have joy with one of these methods as I see they do work on others models/firmware.
Dear fellows,
I used fingerprint for months. Now my tablet rebooted and it requires PIN, which I already forgot.
I tried Google find my device service. There when I press the Lock button, I get the message "Couldn't lock device".
But if I input any message and then press Lock, my tablet is locked (but Google still says "Couldn't lock device") and the message is displayed on the screen.
Google does not provide unlock service for Huawei M3, I do not know why...
I read everywhere that you should be able to input your Google credentials after you input wrong PIN N times,
but this is not the case for this tablet.
Do you know how can I unlock it? Or at least how can I access and backup all the data? If I do that then factory reset will be fine for me.
Thanks in advance!
Currently, RSA does not support XT2311-3 for unknown reason. However, I found a ROM for Tracfone, but the boot works with unlocked version.
Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=10620683726822053015
MD5 60f8e629cbe7e969923c07538d6c3c7c
Bootloader unlock required. However, VPN disappeared after bootloader unlocked. You have to set up user account if you need VPN
Note: your phone is wiped during bootloader unlock process. Since RSA does not work with this phone at this time, you may not be able to rescue if something goes wrong.
Note: Titanium Backup does not work with Android 13. You need Swift Backup (pay $2.5 a year to use your choice of cloud service)
You should do it before initial setup. Wi-Fi connection and/or data connection needed for Magisk. Transfer the boot.img downloaded to your phone and patch it with Magisk, and transfer the patched boot back to host computer.
Now reboot the phone to bootloader or fastbootd
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
Flash patched boot
Code:
fastboot flash boot
Press space once, drag-and-drop the patched_boot onto command window, and press enter.
Post process:
Install the following as modules and you should install Fox's Magisk Module Manager
ADB fastboot
shamiko (you can setup Deny List but you don't have to enable because shamiko takes care of it)
Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.4.0
Systemless host within Magisk
liboemcrypo disabler is not required as it plays Netflix fine after these modules added, and it appears L1 on mine (good)
You can complete setup after root is done. Make sure you add Play Store and Play Services into Deny List as well as any app can detect root
How do you unlock the bootloader on this phone? When I copy & paste my device ID into the Motorola bootloader unlock page and click on "Can my device be unlocked" button, I get a message saying, "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking".

Did you purchase your phone through Motorola directly?
I originally ordered a Moto G Stylus 5g (2023) from Amazon and tried several times to get the Motorola site to issue an unlock code. When I tried factory resetting this phone, I got a ROM not found error so I am returning this phone to Amazon. I then ordered a Moto G Power 5G (2023) directly from Motorola. My first attempt at getting an unlock code failed but I kept trying and finally was able to get through the process and now have the unlock code (sent via email).
When I tried to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, I received this message "Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer Options". I have factory reset the Moto G Power 5g (2023) and am hoping the OEM Unlock option will be enabled soon. (If anyone has any 'tricks' on getting this Developer option enabled, please chime in)
If it helps, I used instructions from here: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/.../bootloader-moto-unlock-lenovo-motorola-root/
(They have a download for MFASTBOOT, which I did use but I am thinking the old FASTBOOT would work as well)

I got mine from Best Buy
Now there's a workaround for missing VPN
Get App Ops from Play Store and add sui (zygisk) module on Magisk
Check the list on App Ops and allow VPN on app needed
Moreover, Netflix works after USNF @Displax mod added, added Play Store and Play Services in Deny List, and Shamiko module added.
Mine shows L1 and Netflix (and cable TV app) work

I bought mine at Best Buy, but that shouldn't make any difference. It's the unlocked version for use on any carrier, so it should be bootloader unlockable.
I enabled Developer Options, but I noticed that "OEM Unlocking" is grayed out. When trying to Google this and find out why, I came upon a Lenovo forum where people were asking the exact same thing, and Lenovo's response was that the phone needs an Internet or Wi-Fi connection for 7 days before the "OEM Unlocking" option will become available(?!).
Now, I'm wondering if that's what's going on here, and why I'm getting the message that my phone isn't eligible for bootloader unlocking. I guess I'll see in a few days, LOL!

I know this is weird.
Mine takes 7 days and it's on internet/SIM active
Back then my situation was more difficult because even RSA was not ready for the phone (it says not supported). I needed boot.img for rooting
I think I'm on day 2 of waiting... It's only on WiFi as I need the SIM for my old phone. Kind of frustrating that it's not a more immediate result/change.
Yesterday was 7 days from when I bought my Moto G Power 5G, and I checked it this morning - lo and behold, OEM Unlocking is available!
I don't understand the reasoning/desire behind Lenovo's wanting to impose this 7 day waiting period, but it is what it is. Time to {hopefully!} go unlock my bootloader.

What a pain in the a$$!! I had to keep trying over and over before it would work. It worked the first or second time (gave me the option to get an unlock code), but I forgot to put it in bootloader mode, so I got an error. Then, I had to try multiple times before it would give me another chance to get the unlock code (kept telling me my device wasn't eligible for unlock). Finally got it unlocked, and then rooted!
