There is only the official unlock method.
Check the CID to see if it can be unlocked.
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
Then check the List of CIDs
I'm in the same boat with the cricket g power 2021
My phone XT2117-1 (Moto G Power 4+64GB) is locked by Verizon provider.
There is no Verizon network in my country.
If I insert a Sim card from a local provider (Tele2-Russia), I see a message: "A locked device. Your device is blocked by your operator. Please insert a valid Sim card."
I turn on my phone and two such screens are available to me:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And such a window for scanning a QR code is also displayed (If I tap the screen many times)
I wanted to unlock the bootloader. But the MOTOROLA support site does not generate an unlock code for my device.
Can you help me unlock my smartphone?
Can I make a crossflash for XT2117-1?
What should I do for this?
Verizon is known to require OEM locked bootloaders. I believe ATT does the same, but not T-Mobile. Was this phone given to you or were you given a buying offer you just couldn't refuse? I ask because considering you're in Russia, I presume based on your local carrier, the unlocked global variant would have been your best if not the only choice.
In terms of flashing, you won't be able to without unlocking the bootloader, but there may be a way to fool the phone recovery program to load up a similar stock rom by replacing some of the images within the official rom file you can download. But I'm doubting this will work at all due to hash signatures and other checks that may fail along the recovery process, which at worst you'll end up bricking your device.

You're right.
This is an Ebay purchase. Since it was purchased through a mail intermediary, it will not be possible to make a refund to the seller.
It turns out that there is no proven way for my smartphone to replace the firmware with an alternative firmware or stock firmware for another operator?
If I wait for a while, will MOTOROLA unlock the bootloader?
Will I be able to install LineageOS on the phone XT 2117-1 in six months or a year?
Unless you or someone in the moto community find an exploit to circumvent locked bootloaders, I very much hate to be the bearer of bad news in saying no you won't be able to install Lineage. Nor do I think Motorola would allow OEM unlocking any time soon.
I have an LG Stylo 2 that ran on Verizon, 5 years later that guy remains locked. Granted it's LG and a device model that didn't get much visibility in the community. Things could look much different for the Moto G Power in a years time. Who knows, mate. But I'd heavily recommend selling or finding a way to trade it for the global variant.
Is there even a Lineage rom available for this phone?

Anyone try any GSI ROMs on the G Power 2021?
It's pretty standard hardware as far as phones go. No weird under display fingerprint reader or anything. Anyone try a GSI ROM? It might "just work" or "almost just work but you need to run a few commands to fix something".

Hey guys
I'm a complete n00b to the Android scene, so I'll try and be as detailed as possible.
I received my Xperia S exchanged from Sony a couple of days back. I've been running Stability Test for about 54 hours straight (yep, not a typo). The battery temp. has constantly been between 42 C - 44 C after the first couple of hours.
I have an iPhone 4S (love both Android and Apple ), so I could afford to let the test go on for as long as I wanted to. I'm really happy to report that there's no yellow tinting issue anymore. Sony reps gave me a call and said my phone belonged to a new batch of phones they received (I had to wait almost a month), and this problem seems to have been rectified, atleast for me.
Then I called Orange and asked them for an unlock code again, since this phone was both network and bootloader locked. They dilly-dallied for about 30-45 mins till I got to speak to the supervisor (I'm no longer with Orange, probably the reason I was give the run around). He told me I'd be getting the unlock code within 24-48 hours, which I did.
After entering the unlock code, the phone is now both network unlocked and bootloader unlockable. I never expected the latter
Have taken both before and after pics. I've also run AnTuTu and Quadrant and got a score of 6746 and 3160 respectively. This is on stock unrooted UK Orange branded .73 rom.
Now to change over to a rooted/stock rom and debrand. Either the NO or CE1 I guess.
Hope this helps someone
Thanks.

Thanks a4rocks. I've made the requisite changes in my earlier post
Does this just work on orange. Has anyone else had success getting bootloader to say yes from network unlocking phone. Gonna try mine today.
I just got my network unlock code also. I was asked to put a SIM card in from another network to bring up the menu requesting the code. After entering it my phone iz unlocked but he bootloader is still unlockable. Are there different ways to enter this pin number ? Do different numbers do different things? Is this based on localisation at all? I changed from O2 Irl to Central Europe generic.

hello everyone.i requested my code from O2 UK.I received code in email after a week and now my mobile is unlocked to any network but unfortunately this unlocking doesnt change nothing with my bootloader,unlocking allowed still says no.thanks
Hi. I still waiting for my code to make it SIM FREE in Ireland. I hope my bootloader also will be unlockable after. ...

I can't comment about any other network. I've only had experience with Orange. They asked me to put in a different sim card and enter the unlock code, which I did.
Seems to be the only thing Orange are any good at lol
My phone comes from Orange in Spain, unfortunately Sim unlocking it did not change the permission to unlock the bootloader, so I'm stuck with an unrooted machine. Frustrating

Send the phone together with €500 to me.
No, i'm joking. You can't do it. There is a chance that it will be possible in the future, but at the moment it cannot be done.
Hi,
I have an Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300, unfortunately it is carrier locked to Telenor, and I have accidentally updated it to android 4.3, where the EFS version has changed.
I have already rooted it with Odin and CF-Auto-Root, but can't find any damn way to unlock it (don't even mention the "pay for code" sites, i'd rather crush this phone in my hand than pay a cent for unlocking it, free way is the only one to go)
Do you have any ideas? If you need any more information then just ask, I will tell anything you need.
Better crush it now and save yourself some time. Samsung changed the efs for a reason, that reason stops you unlocking it.

Hmm, I think I can make it, maybe not by unlocking it "illegally" but by asking the carrier (I know the person who has bought the phone locked, will ask him to call the carrier and ask for unlock code because he needs to go to another country where he cannot use his SIM card, these bastards need to respect their clients.
I still need to downgrade it to 4.1.2 tho, version 4.3 just sucks and i need to charge the phone 3 times a day if i want to use it normally, also everything is laggy and launching a few apps causes a crash to the menu very often.
I read that it is kinda troubled, because the bootloader changed and now wont allow to flash an older one, but I can flash stock 4.1.2 ROM which supports EFSv2 and that only the LTE version of SGS3 cannot be downgraded, is it right?
I attach a screen from Phone Info app, let me know if it is possible to safely downgrade to 4.1.2 and where should I head in order to do it.

I got the unlock code (NCK) from the carrier, but after trying it i got an "Network unlock unsuccessful" message...the phone is still locked and I have already tried unlocking it 2 times (first because I thought it was asking for SIM PIN lock, and now with that code which I'm 100% sure is correct but the phone is acting weird) and I'm kinda scared to try it again because it may get locked permanently (i think?) and I will need to pay for some defreeze code..
I searched a bit and found out that other people also had this problem, and they fixed it by doing this:
In order to successfully unlock the phone, this had to be done firstly:
1. Make sure that wifi and flight mode is turned off
2. Go to the Dial pad and dial *#197328640#
3. Click on number [1] UMTS > [1] Debug screen > [8] Phone Control > [6] NETWORK LOCK
4. You will see 3 options
5. Please click on number [1] Perso Sha256 INFO, the screen will change slightly
6. Please hit the MENU button then when the menu pops up please carefully hit BACK to return to the previous screen
7. Please click on number [2] Perso Sha256 ON, the screen will change again to a one line message
8. Restart the phone on the screen by holding the power button and click RESTART
9. Reattempt to enter the code
10. Now the phone is supposed to accept the unlock code.

but the problem is that after dialing that code, all I get is "Not registered on network" error. I'm running stock ROM updated to 4.3 (from phone) but the phone is rooted, may this be the cause?
I will try calling that carrier later but im 100% sure they will just tell me to try again, and im also 100% sure that the code I entered was correct.
I am doing it the "legal" way and it also doesn't work, so is this damn phone just unlockable, even the carrier who locked it cannot do anything?
Edit
If nothing will work with that code then I will maybe try doing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50463614&postcount=7
however I'm not really positive about it, it will very likely fail. It's a complete bull**** that this phone cannot be unlocked even by the carrier who locked it...
Guys i have no idea, i've flashed stock 4.3 ROM from Telenor to unroot it and factory formatted the phone (from android recovery) but still after entering the code it says unsuccessful...Any damn ideas about this? I managed to get into the Network Lock menu from *#0011# and Key Input->Q0 but it just says MENU NOT EXIST current command is 186. Not even the legal way to do it works, so I'm just supposed to throw this phone away?...

Will this root your phone or is there nothing available for that yet?
Is the zs551kl officially bootloader-unlockable and able to be rooted?
If that's the case, it would mean it's a much better phone than many of the latest flagships: sdcard, jack, FM radio, dual SIM, larger battery, stereo speakers, more complete GPS, good resolution screen, etc.

I am SO relieved to finally be able to make full backups!
The recovery didn't stick until I rooted the device (since you cannot swipe to allow system partition changes, unless you wish to be trapped in a bootloop), so if you lose yours, just reflash via fastboot it if you need it, till you got the root done.

Thanks dudeeeee lets hope this cheers some dev to do a custom rom
Hello.Method of getting the recovery working?
@GTR532 Yeah works fine, just flash it with fastboot and enjoy it.
You can link to download adb, unlock and twrp.And what stops working if you unlock the bootloader?
@GTR532 You will no longer be able to apply any of Asus' firmware updates to your phone once you unlock the bootloader. Neither via their OTA updates, nor their firmware downloads from their website. They change the product model variable so it no longer matches with the one the firmware packages check for. Though technically there are ways around that. So if you wanna do this, update your phone fully first.
I can't update the phone even if you put the firmware in sdcard?
@GTR532 No, it will fail. It's a ****-move on the side of Asus to change it, but they do it once you use their unlock app.
The recovery will then complain that the device doesn't match the requirement for the firmware package and cancel.
I haven't tried just editing that property back to the original value yet (since with an update, I'd lose my root anyway ) so I'll try that maybe at a later time.
It may be an unofficial bootloader Unlocker so that you can update via sdcard?
http://www.beritahuaja.com/2017/12/how-to-unlock-bootloader-asus-zenfone-4-pro.html?m=1
@GTR532 Asus removed the OEM Unlock option from the developer menu, so there is no way except for using their app.
Will there be unofficial unlock bootloader?

Your problem is you have the unlocked variant, and you're going through steps for the T-Mobile variant.
You shouldn't need to jump through any hoops to bootloader unlock the unlocked variant.
Before anything you'll probably want to to a factory restore to fix anything that may have been messed up from the unneeded debloat script.

lol.. I don't think his issue is that he is following steps for the tmo variant (although might be unnecessary if he does in fact have an unlockable variant) more so his issue is that OEM unlock is greyed out preventing him from unlocking the BL.
If he does have an unlockable variant and shouldn't have to "jump through hoops" I tend to think maybe he doesn't have the variant he says he does and possibly has a locked tmo variant. Wouldn't be the first time someone has ordered a supposedly unlocked model from Amazon and got a carrier model instead but who knows.. need more information really to help such as the device model, the firmware it's on etc. to check and make sure it is an actual unlockable variant.. also what it says where it is greyed out such as if it says its carrier locked etc.
My issue is that OEM unlocking is greyed out, preventing my from unlocking the bootloader. I suspect that maybe I don't have an unlocked version. Here is pictures of the screen. Also, I have not inserted a SIM card into the phone, but it is connected to the internet via WiFi.
In order to unlock the bootloader, Android software requires a check made to Google for permission. Google will check the device hardware ID's against lists for permission. They blacklist carrier locked models, and probably blacklist stolen phones, unpaid phones, etc.
You have to allow Google Play Services to run with internet access in order to do this one time check (which will have to be redone if you fully restore the device back to factory state, such as using the MSM tool).
This is why the message says to connect to the internet (to allow the check) or to contact your carrier (to get your ID's removed from the blacklist).

The phone was connected to the internet via WiFi, but I did not setup a Google account on it at the time. I've since returned the phone to Amazon, for a different model.
A Google account is not required, as it is only checking hardware IDs.
Google Play Services must be allowed to run with internet access. Did you confirm that had happened?
I believe the message changes once Google gets a negative response.

The unlocked version is bootloader unlockable (it's the one I have). Can't speak strictly about the other ones and not sure if the Verizon one is the Verizon model, which if it is probably can't be unlocked. But others can chime in more about the other two.

The Verizon model has a different antenna setup internally for use with Verizon's 5G service. Guaranteed it won't be unlockable.

Think back to when our Pixel 2 XLs were our daily driver. We never recommended Verizon models simply because they couldn't be unlocked. The same applies here, with the only advantage the Verizon model having is mmWave 5G to go with the Sub-6 5G found in the unlocked.

Yes, I know you can't unlock the bootloaders on the Verizon models. I just wasn't absolutely sure if that particular one in the Google Store was actually a Verizon model, having always bought the unlocked ones.

Do you think it's now possible with dirty pipe in the wild? I read this morning that the exploit can bypass Samsung's something or other and attain root so what about the Verizon models all the way back to the P3 and above? From my limited knowledge of these things it seems at the very least temp root which might allow the OEM switch to be unlocked, flip it and unlock the bootloader. Wouldn't that be a kick in the ass to Verizon / Google.

Not really meant for you specifically. I know there were a few folks on the P5 forum trying their darndest to get temp root to allow the OEM switch to toggle. I just didn't think we needed a new thread for this. I'll try to find the guy trying. It might have been a bounty thread.
