So I've heard about bootloader unlocking which, I guess, enables me to have full control over the device (not like rooting, I understand that) and to do stuff like flashing new ROMs, etc.
But what about network unlocking? I mean, I'd like to be able to use my phone on any network I wish, do I need to unlock the bootloader for that? Do the network restrictions automatically disappear if I unlock the bootloader?
Also, is there anyway I can disable network restrictions by myself (without using something like a special SIM card or asking for remote unlocking) without having to pay for any unlocking service or ask someone to do it for me?
Thanks in advance! :3

Hi, so to answer your question, when you unlock the bootloader the sim lock remains, also afaik there are no "free" ways in which to remove the sim lock at this moment in time, the only way is to get the unlock code from your service provider or pay a remote unlocking service.
I think i may have seen on the arc forum somewhere for a small fee you can get your boot loader unlocked and sim unlocked at the same time.
One last note if your arc is sim locked there is a chance that you wont be able to unlock the bootloader via sony ericsson developer world, depending on your carrier

That means it's also possible to unlock the boot loader remotely?
Also, if there's someone who can do it for us (small fees inc.), that means there's actually a way to do it, right?

Yes there is a way to do it, i cant remember how much it costs exactly, but it's done remotely and sim unlocks and boot loader unlocks at the same time
And is it something I can do by myself?

If someone else can do this as a paid service. Why can't someone explain how its done and make it available for free?

As for that i cannot answer.. But at a guess a lot of hard work will have gone into this. It keeps drm intact, provides Sim unlock and enables fast boot on handsets which didn't have it before, if i was in that situation with my arc i would have gladly paid, and i myself think the Dev/Devs are entitled to some hard earned cash

you can do it either way. i usually do it asap, as not to lose much data when it gets unlocked, since it does wipe your user data and storage when you unlock the bootloader.

You don't need the SIM to unlock. Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone so really you should do it ASAP to minimize your loss.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Black Bean
Found a Pixel XL for sale with FRP lock, two things, should I run since this thing might be stolen, and secondly, can this be fixed with a reflash of factory image, or am I screwed if I buy this?
The frp will still show up if you reflash the factory image. I personally would not buy it.
Don't buy it. FRP is difficult/impossible to bypass.
Highly likely it was a stolen phone, likely a phone stolen from a shipment.
Frp google pixel
it can be by pass with xtc2clip very easy if u have bootloader unlocked.
WTF is FRP lock and why should anyone care?
@Tmender,
Yes, it's highly likely that it's been stolen. You should check if the IMEI has been blacklisted, at a minimum.

Factory Reset Protection from Android. Phones are now locked to the Google account that is put on them. You have to properly remove them before you sell a phone or else it won't work.

How is xtc2clip going to work with the pixel? I know HTC was the manufacturer but it isn't an HTC phone and the website says nothing about pixel support.
Edit; from Gsm-forum:
xtc2clip 12/23
Hello,
Sorry, Pixels are not supported by XTC 2 Clip.

Might want to do a Google search before making definitive statements without the facts.

What security patch were you on?

Here is the guide to root it .

@moyuzai, did you root it successfully?
@miststudent2011, is it a reliable guide? Have you tried it?

Guide is reliable it is from the magisk developer itself.
I haven't tried it.
As long as you are able to do a full backup or know a way to fully restore you may try to root!
The problem with this device is that you cannot sideload w/o a Huawei Memory Card ?

No possible method ATM, plus I'm not crazy to spend 127$ just for a bootloader code.
@moyuzai said he unlocked the phone. I just wonder how he could done this if there is a way without key. Paying over 100$ is ofcourse no sense

he didnt unlock it. You cant unlock the bootloader even through third party services.

Hello,
Is it possible to unlock bootloader without wiping data on P6P?

To my knowledge - no !
Absolutely no way without a forced full wipe; there never has been. The moment you unlock the bootloader it triggers the full wipe.
Thanks for the replies.
