Hi Friends,
I got LG G7 Thinq Carrier Locked and I'm tired up of this network I want to use other network but my phone is network locked I can't use anyother network sim card... Its pretty annoying and I just didn't thought that this could be a big issue for me.
Is there any way I can use another network on my phone? only if the method is safe I don't want to risk my phone so please tell me if it is possible to safely unlock my g7 thinq and If anyone have tried unlocking this phone then please help me.
Thanks
Well as per my knowledge network unlocking is completely safe there are 2 methods to unlock your phone.
1 - (Free and recommended method) You can visit LG customer support or service Center and tell them reason why you want to unlock your phone and I'm sure they are going to help you.
2 - (You have to little fee). If you didn't got any proper help from LG service center then you have to try any network unlocking service provider they will get you unlock code for your phone and you have to pay little bit fee for that. There are lots of service provider the one I have tried is safeunlockcode, but here are lots of other you can do research and go with any service provider you like.
Happy unlocking
My buddy has an extra TMobile verison and I want to use it on Verizon. Is it possible for me to activate it?

Hey,
I'm new to this so help would be greatly apreciated.
I would like to know, if i can remove a network lock for O2 UK with rooting and if so how can i go about doing it?
I got my mates old phone when he got his upgrade. I've tried IMEI unlock codes and O2 customer services wont help cause I dont have an acount with them.
So im kinda at a loss. Any advice would be great.
Thanks.
There are tons of codes to get on ebay for about £2 which definitely unlock,rooting will not unlock the phone,but when you do want to root there is a one script root right here on XDA
If you can't get the carrier to unlock your phone your best bet is getting it unlocked by a third party. I've used UnlockBase the last few times I ran into issues getting my phone unlocked. Here's a link to their LG page if you're interested: https://www.unlockbase.com/unlock-phone/lg/.
I'm using UnlockRadar for some time and they have great customer support for LG unlocking check it out at www.unlockradar.com
Hello xdadevelopers,
I recently purchased a T-Mobile LG G3 D851 from a friend of mine only to discover that it is network locked. I am a Sprint user (I know...I know) and I'd like to switch over to the G3 as my main phone. It seems that the phone has no other lock on it since it says it is not "personalized". Due to my friends account being cancelled, T-Mobile will not provide an unlock code in order for me use the phone with my Sprint SIM card. I know I can order an unlock code from some shady website, but that doesn't guarantee I'll get my phone unlocked. So, in other words, I'm reaching out to the forums for help. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
Actually UnlockBase.com isn't shady, they're reliable and have used their services in the past to unlock a ton of metroPCS phones for my family.
However, If you feel you do not trust any other company, you're welcome to start a new plan with T-mobile and request an unlock after you have met their requirements.
i have a tmobile Z2 i bought online and was not able to unlock it. It is very clearly a tmobile version but when i tried to use the unlock from tmo it say i am not eligible for an unlock i then called and they said the device was not sold by tmobile then called moto and got the same story. as of now i stick in an att sim and it does nothing only works on a tmo sim. any advice on how to carrier unlock this device.
T-Mobile devices require usage on the network before an unlock is allowed. Sometimes they will allow an unlock without use on the network, but since you did not buy the phone from them that most likely will not happen.
What is the error message you are receiving? If it is the device is not eligible, than it is in the server database and you should be able to unlock it after you have used it on the T_Mibile network.
If however you are receiving an unknown error, than the phone is not listed and you'll probably never get it unlocked.
Either way, it might be easiest to return the device to the seller if you're still within the return period.
Well even if I cant unlock it yet I have a friend who would be willing to use it for sometime and let it get time in on his account. The phone was already in use on the original sellers account so I thought that was enough. I will slap this tmo sim in it and give it some time it's the device I plan to do development on. I have a z2 from at&t so that my daily and this one can get bricked for all I care. I want to support the Z2 community
I had the same issue. Look for my post in the older unlocking thread. It's very straightforward and you can use a prepay sim to do it.
Hi everyone. Any chances to unlock LG G8 ThinQ from T-Mobile USA? Device App says "Unlock Failure. This mobile device is not eligible for unlock...". OEM UNLOCK option is available in Developers options so it could be rooted I guess. Can't even find paid reliable website who provide this kind of service not for 5-16 days of time frame. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi I've had the same version as you bit couldn't get it unlocked, went through T-Mobile themselves and they couldn't help. Check the IMEI via their site and if it doesn't come up them no luck sadly.
I had to sell in the end...

There is a difference between SIM locked and bootloader locked. The OEM unlock option only refers to the bootloader unlock which is not possible at this time on any G8. Bootloader unlock has to come from LG, SIM unlock would come from T-Mobile
I bought a clean imei LG G8 T-Mobile I'm wondering if there is a way to unlock it for free
T-Mobile phones from recent years can only be unlocked with the T-Mobile Device Unlock app, which queries their servers to ensure that both the phone AND you are eligible for unlock: Account must be in good standing (even if no longer active), phone must be paid off (of course), and it must have been active on T-Mobile postpaid for at least 40 days (1 year prepaid).
If these criteria are fulfilled, they will generally approve unlock (they have to, by law) -- although they often have a hard time making it work with the Device Unlock app, even when they say it's approved. Filing an FTC complaint will escalate it to TMO Executive Office, who CAN make it work, even when rest of TMO can't -- but only do this if you know you fulfill their requirements.
Good old unlock codes don't work with TMO phones. Anybody trying to sell them to you are scammers.
There ARE a few 3rd party services who can unlock T-Mobile through remote connection, where they trick the Device Unlock app into thinking it is connecting to TMO servers. But I think they only work on rooted phones.
Hi
Im in need of some help to fix my lg g8 att i bought from ebay but it only had 1 try to unlock. so i bought an unlock code but since i only had one try to go i did anyway but did not work now the phone say is permanently locked. anyone knows how to fix this or someone that can do it with octopus if is possible that way. please help i love the phone and i don't want to get rid of it.
I've never purchased an unlock key for ATT, since the unlock portal is free to use - at least for fully paid-off devices. You don't even need to be a network subscriber.
