T-Mobile bootloader unlock.

[sixisixsix]

This is from my experience buying Tmo phone not through Tmo directly and dealing with Tmo for unlocking.
Since the seller got the phone through promo that means it is under 24 months credit plan.
If the seller disconnect the line before 24 months , your phone will be blacklisted.
The phone IMEI will be tied to the seller account for the next 24 months and only the seller (original owner) can request unlocking.
Anyway I always ask for the IMEI first and check through Tmo before I buy Tmo phone off market,.

Unfortunately Oneplus independent unlocking is expensive since it is not code based but its server based.
When you pay unlock service use credit card, if it doesnt work and the seller refuse to give you refund ,
you can always dispute it to get your money back.

Thank you for the help! Can you link me to said unlocking services? I'm thinking of just passing the cost off onto the seller and if they don't like that then I will just return it.

If I get my phone sim unlock through a third party will that make it to where I can unlock the bootloader. I tried calling T-Mobile and cannot get them to do it they said I have to wait a 180 days

As long as your sim is unlock (doesnt matter how you unlock it) you can request unlock bootloader token.

BTW try to call again the next day or try different reps. I spoke to Philippine tforce in the evening and she unlocked all my 3 8t phones which I received less than 5 days.

If anyone needs their phone unlocked for T-Mobile let me know and I may be able to help, given you've had the phone on the network for at least 3 days.

just sent you a PM

I just called TMobile via 611 and after a short discussion the rep swiftly unlocked my phone.

I explained that a temp unlock would be be adequate as I am a developer who frequently travels internationally, and was put a short hold. He came back in a few minutes and told me it was unlocked! The whole process took 10 minutes tops. Now I must wait the 7day period for my unlock.bin generation <3

NEVER has it been this easy for me

My OP7P unlock took me jumping through hoop and hoop, and lasted 4 days -__-

I hope everyone else has the same luck.

God speed

Sorry to ask but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to search the thread. Is it possible to unlock a metro pcs oneplus N10 5g? I can't switch over to metro if I can't unlock my phones bootloader. No good info in the N10 forums unfortunately. Thanks for any help in advance.

Looks like UnlockerPlus is a bunch of clowns, not unlocked my phone and not responding to messages anymore. Beware.

Update they ended up refunding.

Hi everyone.
I just picked up a T-Mobile OnePlus 8T + 5G through ebay.
I have since activated it on my Metro-by-TMobile SIM and it's working perfectly.
My question is:
How would I go about getting my bootloader unlocked ?

If you dial '611' & tell them that your a developer & that you need the bootloader unlocked they should be able to help you. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
