I have only tried one that says they will do it, but it resulted in no service provided thus far. I have since put in a dispute/claim with paypal. The order still says in progress when I check the site. It has been that way since 5/28. So maybe their turnaround is much longer than what is advertised. No communication from them at all too. So at this point I have not one to recommend.
[Windows 10 Mobile] rjcs123:
ok. what is this site? you live in US? why not use t-mobile unlock service? they only ask for an account
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
I do not use T-Mobile service, much like your self. I had a situation where Alcatel in an attempt to replace my last Idol 4s mailed me the T-Mobile locked model instead of what I sent in which was the unlocked model. The only site I found when looking for a whole day was simunlock.com, they say they support unlocking it and let you fill the form out on the site with the information required.
[Windows 10 Mobile] rjcs123:
I have a request in simunlock but I do not trust much in this site, although the code costs little there is no response by the site. The request is made on 06/03/17, do you have any idea to unlock it? regards
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Good luck. Like I said above that's the only one I found but I did not recommend it. I only pasted it for you since you requested anyway. I have submitted a claim via PayPal for my order a couple days ago.
[Windows 10 Mobile] rjcs123:
Yes, the site seems false, if there are more sites like unlockonline, anyway, in every site that asks me the provider id, but neither the device nor the box appear. Thanks
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
The provider ID is on the sticker that was on the back of the phone.
[Windows 10 Mobile] rjcs123:
When I bought the phone I did not have the sticker. I found a page where you enter the imei and it shows the model, the brand and the provider id. I do not know exactly if the provider ID that shows is the correct one, in your case could you give me an example of the provider id of your alcatel? Since as I tell you, mine does not bring the sticker
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
[MENTION=4773083]rjcs123[/MENTION]

This was the provider ID on the sticker for the T-Mobile variant Alcatel mistakenly sent me. 6071w-2btbus7
[Windows 10 Mobile] rjcs123:
[MENTION=6541555]nate0[/MENTION] is the same provider id that throws me the page = 6071W-2BTBUS7-1, model = Alcatel 4S Pro TMO
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Are you making progress?
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Someone on Windows Central sent me a message on a work around way they used to unlock this model. Below I summarized it.

A workaround for the unlock code:

A for sure way is to have T-Mobile to unlock it. But you need service with them to get the unlock code while having nothing owed on the phone or account. Call them and ask for the cheapest prepaid plan for one month, so that you can get the unlock code? He ordered a $5.99 sim card with 30 minutes and 30 text messages he used that for a few days so the IMEI can show as active in their database. I will follow up with him to see if he did in fact unlock it already.

UPDATE: Turns out T-Mobile was not telling the truth and needed more from his account then they lead on. So he canceled that method. T-Mobile did however share a unlocking site for him to consider, which is strange. But I guess they were doing what they could to provide customer satisfaction.
[Windows 10 Mobile] aleunge:
I'm also interested in finding a way to unlock my Alcatel 4S Windows. I sent my unlocked phone in for earpiece repairs and they sent it back to me SIM locked with a new IMEI. I have no clue why such a repair requires a new IMEI and relocking back to TMO (the device is the same, perhaps system board change?). I even left a note that the phone is unlocked and I need it to remain unlocked after the repairs. Now I'm stuck. I'm not with TMO and have no way to unlock it.

My first Alcatel phone and I don't even get to use it.
[Windows 10 Mobile] darkbreed:
Tried to get TMobile to provide the code for 2 months before I switched, they repeatedly said it was requested, never received it.

Could not find any vendors that could provide the code.

Contacted Alcatel and they said only Tmobile had the unlock codes.

Gave up and bought a 650, but will most likely switch to iOS when it breaks. Apps are disappearing daily and W10M is god awful slow. Sad really!!!!!
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Alcatel has been a pain in the neack honestly...FFU is still broken for the open market model. Probably why they feel they have to send out T-Mobile units not realizing they are locked to the T-Mobile network...lol
[Windows 10 Mobile] aleunge:
UPDATE: after speaking to a few support reps, one finally figured out what happened, that some of us were screwed over getting a phone we can't use. Got a prepaid shipping label and returned it. Now I have a brand new in box open market version with VR headset and everything (I already have one but I'm not complaining). I'm satisfied for now. Just worried the next time the speaker blows and I have to send it in for service again...
[Windows 10 Mobile] Layton4270:
Has there been any further progress? I would be interested to know which unlock site TMO recommended. I have tried 3 sites in total and received 2 refunds so far. I was able to get an unlock code using an Android app on another phone, but I just receive the message "incorrect code" when I input on the Idol 4s.
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Not from my end. You might find someone with an ATF box or other jtag hw that could do it I suppose. I had a t-mobile branded model sent directly from Alcatel by mistake. They replaced my unlocked model with a sim locked one by accident. I complained and an upper level manager called me back the same day with an unlock code. Sounds lame but that is the only method that has worked for me so far.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Layton4270:
Thanks man, that might be worth a shot. I'll give it a try during the week and report back on my results.
[Windows 10 Mobile] Layton4270:
Ok, so I called T-Mobile, spoke to a representative who advised that they can't request an unlock code without a T-Mobile account. I asked to speak to a supervisor, he gave me the same story only this time provided me with an unlock website to try. I've registered with the site, just waiting to hear if they are able to unlock the device or not.

Anyone else had any success yet?
[Windows 10 Mobile] rhyme4u12:
Were you able to get it unlocked?
[Windows 10 Mobile] Layton4270:
Still no luck. The site they quoted sent me a code that didn't work. I got zero response from the site for a refund so resolved it through PayPal dispute. I've pretty much given up.
[Windows 10 Mobile] instructor2:
i need to unlock a few devices aswell. please if someone can guide how to unlock this phone .... thanks
[Windows 10 Mobile] nanamenah:
Did anyone manage to unlock this device yet? Please help??
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
This is unfortunately a known issue with them. If this happens escalate internally to Alcatel support. They have to fix this. I had that happen once and had to get a senior person on the line and explain the entire issue issue. Shortly after he emailed the unlock code.
[Windows 10 Mobile] aleunge:
Thanks for that. But I already posted a follow up a few postings before you, saying I got a rep to deal with it. Sent me a return box and got an unlocked version soon after.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73407706&postcount=19
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Ya I had seen that too. At least we know too it's possible for Alcatel themselves to get the unlock code if it comes down to a mistake on their part.
[Windows 10 Mobile] nanamenah:
So did anyone find a way to unlock this yet. I have tried about 5 different unlocking services and they have all come back with a refund?
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
On my end only through Alcatel or T-Mobile.

Disclaimer:

I did my research before posting here, tried I believe every suggestion and "fix", so please don't throw links at me with the ones I already tried.

Thank you.

The Issue:

I DON'T get LTE after manually disconnecting or leaving Wi-Fi area (Sometimes it works, so the APN settings are correct; to regain connection I need to toggle Airplane mode or Reboot) on Custom ROMs and Kernels. This includes: Stock Beta16 + ElementalX/Franko kernels; ExperienceOS + Stock/ElementaX/bluespark kernels; FreedomOS + Stock/ElementaX/bluespark kernels.

It DOES WORK on Stock Beta16 and Beta17 just fine.

I use the same APN setting in all cases, which included VoLTE on; APN protocol and APN roaming protocol IPv4/IPv6; Aggressive Wi-Fi to Cellular handover; Cellular data always active. (Some of them are the suggestions and "fixes" I found on the Interwebs)

Any ideas how Stock-based custom Roms and kernels can brake my LTE connection? The carrier is EE UK. SIM also works fine on my Nexus 6P running Vanilla OS with Flash kernel and Root.

[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] testing now. Works great from either 11c or 11d as long as you make sure you keep twrp.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] FAUguy:
Good to have these as a backup, since there still isn't a 21a KDZ.

I guess the prerequisites are to 1) have the bootloader unlocked and 2) install TWRP, so that you can flash the 21a ZIP files.

I ended up relocking the 21a bootloader so some other apps would work, such as Android Pay.

[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] firenemesis7:
I sent the files to autoprime he said he will create the 11d zip and upload when he has the time.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] SPARTAN_TECH:
Flashed the files in twrp formatted data, wipe caches etc,

bootloops even wiped in stock recovery but didnt work,

couldnt flash 11c again so had to us BP 10h

now no LTE :( hope KDZ comes soon
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] firenemesis7:
You wrote you flashed the "files" plural. You should of only flashed the complete zip after you wiped. Also did you go from BP 10h straight to the 21a? I am not sure if anyone has tried that yet and not sure if that could be the cause of the problem. Most people flashed from BP 10h then flashed the 11c complete zip and if they had any boot looping problems the then were able to flash the 11c kdz in LGUP to fix the boot loop.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] SPARTAN_TECH:
i was on 11c to start and i flashed the complete zip first then after constant bootloop i flashed 10h , 11c complete and then 11c kdz took 11d update then flashed 21a works fine now , thanks guys

files was a typo

meant to be just file ...lol
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] FAUguy:
Once you got to 11d, could of just did the OTA to 21a. That's what I did.

How I did it. I just factory reset and wiped everything in twrp then flashed the complete rs98821a zip that autoprime put together for us and then was able to install the OTA update. You will have to reinstall Twrp and root but you do not have to mess with the bootloader.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ICV:
Hi,

I've flashed this in an H850 by error and my phone shows the following message "insert a supported module to turn on your phone". No download mode. No recovery mode.

can someone help me, please?

thanks
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] autoprime:
without some serious hax, you've messed things up pretty good...

first, you will need to buy an RS988 battery module (the bottom piece of the phone that pops off).. these are on ebay and other places.

this will make the "supported module" message go away and download mode etc should work again.

you flashed a rom with a bootloader/modem containing anti-rollback version 01.. yet all H850 and other international devices use anti-rollback version 00. This means your phone will now only accept bootloader/modems that are ARB v01 or higher.. and that you cannot use bootloaders using ARB v00. This means you will no longer be able to flash any H850 KDZ files through download mode since all the stock international KDZs are ARB v00. And if you try to flash an ARB v00 bootloader/modem/rom through TWRP to get around the KDZ block.. it will brick your phone and it will not boot up again.

Hopefully RS988 rom/bootloader/modem works well enough on your H850 because you are now. The system (rom) and boot (kernel) partitions on your phone do not care about ARB version.. so it's possible you may be able to get some sort of hybrid setup going.. where you use a RS988 bootloader/modem but a H850 system/boot partition. That may or may not work and the only way to know for sure is to experiment.

Just be sure to never flash an ARB v00 bootloader (or a rom that contains the bootloader.. like all of my COMPLETE zips for various devices) or the phone will not boot up again and it will be stuck in qualcomm 9008 mode.. which only can be fixed by LG or some various people in china who offer mail in service.
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] ICV:
First of all, thank you very much form your answer. And yes, what a big mess!! Too many risky (for clueless guys like me) find ROMs for different versions of same phone.

Then, following steps can be:

1. buy an RS988 battery module

2.

- act like my phone were an RS988 flashing ROMs for this model?

- or flash only RS988 bootloader and modem and then H850 ROMs without that?

thanks again
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] spinoza_web:
autoprime maybe you help me? My RS988 have poor signal. I want to fix this. Maybe it's in the antenna. Where is 3g / 2g antenna in the phone? I expected in the replaceable battery module, but you write that this module determines the version of the ARB. As I understand if I put the module from another phone on trial, my phone will not boot
[LG G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] autoprime:
hard to say what would be best route... I have no personal experience with this sort of hybrid setup on the G5. step #1 is a must. step #2.. you will have to experiment with various combos. as long as you do not flash a bootloader with anti-rollback v00 you should be able to boot and install TWRP and try different things until you find the best combo. it's also possible that no combo allows the phone to work properly due to bootloader changes.. modem changes.. etc.

I believe the antenna is in the battery module. Battery module is not tied to anti-rollback version... it is tied to bootloader.. and bootloader version is tied to anti-rollback version. As long as you use a module that works on your phone model it will be ok. RS988 phones can use battery modules from the following phones - VS987 LS992 US992 RS988 - according to this ebay ad http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-New-LG-...e-Module-Bottom-Chin-Cover-Clip-/371874561542
