r/PhoneUnlocks

I just want to announce and alert everyone who comes across these scammers. Portraying themselves as unlocking any phone. I fell for their tricks and spent more than 200$ already just to get my iPhone unlocked. They have set a bait fee of around 25$ to lure you. After which they will further ask you to pay additionally because the 25$ was meant for checking some bs. I was told I needed premium service to unlock my spectrum from USA. That service was 174$. It took me days to raise that money. I told them what if they fail. They told me it covers a refund. I paid later on, and within two days they came back slapping me with another 200+ bucks for some stupid reasons omg. I immediately requested for a refund because they told me if they failed to unlock it while I have paid for the premium service, I will get a full refund. I’m surprised how they used to chat me anytime I send messages but after I requested for refund, it’s been three days already and nothing! I only saw an email informing me that my money has been refunded as credit note. Credit note? Hell !!! Ignore this #DIRECT UNLOCK when you come across them.

Guys I own a oneplus 9r and unfortunately I have forgotten the privacy pw of it due to which I cant access half of my apps . I do remember the screen lock password.

What to do I have tried everything which I saw on yt and nothing worked 😭

If you guys know pls tell 🙏

Hey everyone, I am stuck in an absolute customer service nightmare loop and desperately need some advice on how to get this phone unlocked. Here is the breakdown:

• The Original Purchase: Bought a Samsung Galaxy S24+ network unlocked from a third-party seller on Amazon.
• The Issue: The front camera was faulty, and the screen started developing a growing ring of dead pixels around it.
• The "Fix": I sent it to Samsung, and they successfully replaced it under warranty but with a carrier locked model because of the model number of the old device.
• The Finger-Pointing Loop:
  • Samsung says: "We only handle device locks, not network/carrier locks. Talk to T-Mobile."
  • T-Mobile says: "We can't unlock it without the original T-Mobile account information associated with the device."
  • Amazon Seller says: "Not our problem anymore, we don't have account info."

I now have a carrier-locked S24+ that I can't use on my network. Has anyone successfully bypassed this or gotten T-Mobile/Samsung to budge? Any advice on how to actually get this IMEI whitelisted or unlocked?

TLDR:
-bought a samsung s24+ unlocked version from a third party seller on amazon

-device had a faulty front camera and the pixels near the front cam started dying daily in a circular fashion creating a blot on the screen

-managed to get the device replaced under warranty by samsung

-but received a t mobile locked device since the model number of the old device was a locked one

-contacted samsung they said they can only operate with device lock issues and not network lock issues

- t mobile said they'll need an account associated with the device to unlock it

-the third party seller said they cant help since they didn't sell they dont have any account information and wont help us

-how to unlock the device and use it

​Hi all,

​I've updated my Galaxy A24 to Android 16 (One UI 8.0, Binary 5). The "OEM Unlock" toggle has completely disappeared from Developer Options.

​Device Details:

​Build Number: BP2A.250605.031.A3.A245FXXSBEZB5

​Kernel: 6.12.23-android16-5

​Is this a permanent restriction for this firmware, or is there a way to re-enable it? I am interested in development/kernel analysis and haven't found any active exploits for this version on XDA yet.

​Has the community found any way to bypass this on B5 yet? Thanks for any leads :D

Hey everyone! I have a Motorola Edge 2024 locked to Straight Talk and I found a service called DoctorSIM that is offering to unlock it for $19. Before I spend any money I wanted to ask if anyone here has used them before and if they are legitimate.

A few specific questions:

Did the unlock code actually work?

How long did it take to receive the code?

Did they honor their refund policy if it didn't work?

Any experience specifically with Straight Talk locked Motorola phones?

I've already tried going through Straight Talk directly and they want 365 days of active service which is not realistic for me as a secondhand buyer. DoctorSIM seems like my best option right now but $19 is still money I don't want to waste on a scam.

Any advice or experience is appreciated

Hello,

So I was wondering if I could flash my Galaxy firmware software from the regional code, AIO (Cricket Wireless) to XAA (US stock) after unlocking the phone's network?

The device was locked to Cricket and is now unlocked - so I was wondering whether I could flash it to XAA without risking to compromise the unlock?

The phone was previously unlocked but after updating it to the next AIO firmware it got relocked again. That is way I am asking if I could just flash it to XAA (stock US unlock), and prevent AIO updates. But I am not sure if that would affect the network unlock.

If anyone has ever tried it or have experience on the matter, I would really appreciate to hear it.

Thank you!

iPhone XR, I think iOS18. Recently changed my passcode. I use Face ID but that didn't register so I started typing them in and started getting them wrong. Once I got locked out for 15 mins I started writing down my password variations/which ones I have tried so far. I probably have ten in total and just hit the 3hr locked out mark.

Again I am NOT LOOKING TO BYPASS. I am just trying to get an idea here, is my best bet just running through all these passwords and getting the timed lockouts? I take it Face ID won't magically be an option again (unless it magically gives me that option again). But will I just keep having to attempt, cross it off my list, and wait until the next chance? And does anyone know if it goes longer than 3 hours? Not looking to reset iPhone either.

Appreciate the help and any advice here. Obviously a dumb problem but between work accounts requiring password resets I just couldn't remember which variation I used. Thanks!

ENG:

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (SM-S928U1) on Amazon, locked to Claro Puerto Rico (CSC: PCT). I'm not the original owner, so I can't get help directly from Claro since they ask for original account info.

I've tried 2 paid unlock services (UnlockBase and TheUnlockCompany). Both failed to deliver a working code; they simply never produced one.

Has anyone successfully unlocked this specific model/carrier combo?

Thanks.

ESP:

Tengo un Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (SM-S928U1) que compré en Amazon, bloqueado a Claro Puerto Rico (CSC: PCT).

Como no soy el dueño original, Claro PR no me puede ayudar directamente (piden datos de la cuenta original).

Ya probé 2 servicios pagos de desbloqueo (TheUnlockCompany y UnlockBoot) y ninguno logró darme un código funcional. Simplemente nunca lo entregaron. Alguien ha logrado desbloquear un S24 Ultra con Claro PR?

Gracias.
