What is the reason for the 7 day waiting period. Shouldn't this be automatic?

No payments made. I've had device 3 days. T-Mobile unlocked my device just now.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] AMRivlin:
Data point: 2 phones 100% financed, business account, both unlock requests granted. Both under 30 days old.

Waiting for two unlock.bin(s)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Just paid off half of the device to SIM unlock. Status: Applied.

Now it's the wait. I'm actually quite excited. Haven't rooted anything since my Note 5 days but since Google wants to be a pig by killing apps like Swift and call recording, I'm forced to do this.

Waitied the 40 days, got it unlocked even though I still owe 300 on the device. Submitted my unlock token and waiting for my unlock.bin now
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmikey307:
Now that it's been 40 days if you got it the first day, they will unlock it. I had one of the reps told me they would on day 40 and just got a message saying they unlocked it and to use the T-Mobile app. Submitted request for unlock.bin on December 10th
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] toxict33n:
Actually I did search, and nowhere does it say "This is exactly what you should say, and exactly what you shouldn't"

Why is it every forum on xda gets so hurt over someone asking a question. The whole point of forums is to answer questions.

It doesn't matter to me what I shouldn't say I already got my request filled out. I was just looking for someone's experience for my friend who has been denied 4 times now
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Myself and others even went as far as posting screenshots of the various conversations we had to get our Sim unlocks.. start at the beginning of the threads that talk about this and look there. Either lie and say u are going out of town, or be honest. Either way if u have the tenure u could get it Sim unlocked even without paying anything. I did. And i got it via the trade with my Shamu.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Exathi:
Ah well I was able to get my sim unlocked I just did the application for the unlocking of the bootloader hopefully it won't take too long to get will we be able to flash the global version of the OTA for the T-Mobile OnePlus?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nlua:
This was my post in another thread:

*i just tried my first attempt (611) and got an awesome rep. all i mentioned was that i just got the OP6T that i traded-in my Nexus 6 for (i will miss you, shamu) and that i wanted it to get it unlocked. i didn't give a reason as to why. he said "sure, let me look into it for you and find out what i can do. i notice that there is a 40 day usage requirement but that's something i can just override for you."

and he did! then we just went on talking about him being on the fence about doing a trade-in as well and comparing other phones and all. the OT conversation lasted longer than me asking and getting my OP6T unlocked. i can honestly say that i enjoyed the conversation lol!

Mind you i have been a T-Mobile customer since 2010 with a clean account (no late payments etc.) so maybe when he saw that he was more willing to help out? anyway good luck to everyone else!*

This was 8 or so hours ago. Shortly after I submitted my request for the bootloader unlock to OP but then chatted with OP support about the 7 day waiting period and this was the response:

Edit: (And I did ask if he was referring to SIM/CARRIER UNLOCK and I stressed that was done. He said he understood my request... But I don't really think he did since he's pointing fingers at T-Mobile...)

Alright boys, I'm trying a few methods of cracking the oem unlock option for those who can't sim unlock. I'm also trying to crack the unlock bin since OnePlus can't automate something simple.

Yeah I agree, T-mo only has control over the SIM unlock, and they say they have no control over the bootloader unlock and that is OP's only.. and OP is trying to say that T-mo controls all that.......

yeah.. I agree they have no clue what they are talking about..........
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Talked to OnePlus support on the phone yesterday they know the deal finally and Said it will take 7 days and they send the unlock.bin. 3 calls and 2 chats they finally got their internal memos
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Krunk_Kracker:
I wonder if it is some sort of verification process, to take 7 days? On past phones that I'd have to do this, it was pretty much instant.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Probably cuz it's just slow moving and had to set of up that kind of intake process
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Or maybe they’re trying to discourage users from modding by making us wait? Could be something T-Mobile requested as part of their agreement, since they’ve pretty much locked down every phone in recent years, especially devices post unlock app. Could be one of those things to prevent unlock for free, etc.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BIGWORM:
It's funny, because I just thought right now that I should make a thread too, lol! Submitted my unlock codes on 11/5. Still waiting.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] greye05:
I got my phone my to unlock with Tforce on Twitter while taking advantage of the trade in offer. But Im going to wait to see development on it before unlocking the Bootloader. I need root but it can wait for a few weeks.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
You can still do the process and get your unlock.bin file and just not use it until you're ready.

The site says it takes 7-14 days to get the bin. It's better to have it on hand.

We're going to reach a week of release tomorrow. With the first users I noticed going through the process starting Friday.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] capsnbottles:
Once we get the unlock bin file, is the process to unlock bootloader easy? I've always used tool kits in the past and only used pixels and Nexus devices, unfamiliar with the OnePlus way to do it
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] nima0003:
Yeah the OnePlus way is the same as pixels except the extra step for T-Mobile users. I recommend you get familiar with adb.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] wase4711:
forums dont get hurt because someone asked a question; the problem happens when the SAME QUESTION gets asked OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again, after it has been answered dozens and dozens of times..

As someone said, people have even gone as far as posting their EXACT CHAT with Tmobile people, so others could see EXACTLY what they said; that being said, there are NO EXACT WORDS that will "guarantee" the results "your friend" is looking for; thats why some have had to call/text/chat multiple times to get it done..

Seems pretty clear and basic; if you dont succeed at first, try and try again...no one can do the work for you...

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] seijinshu:
I've had my OP6T since 2 November 2018. I still cannot unlock the phone even though it is past the 40 days. When I got the phone, I did a temp unlock to see if I could toggle OEM unlock as it wasn't known at the time if that would enable the toggle or not (it doesn't obviously). I have kept my phone on T-Mobile during that temp unlock, but do they not count days that I had my phone temporarily unlocked?

Edit: it seems that my mother's OP6T cannot unlock either, and she hasn't done a temp unlock either.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLogicalGamer:
The requirements are you have to be on the network for 40 days, and usually have made two installment plan payments this is usually only if you travel outside the U.S. Otherwise it usually has to be paid in full. However some reps will bend the rules on a case by case basis, and that is how most of us have got it unlocked. If you've paid for the device in full then I would contact T-Mo to try to figure out why you can't.

I submitted my unlock request yesterday on the 14th.

Also anybody got any ideas on why my simlock app didn't delete itself? I've got a perm unlock obviously. I'm on OOS 9.0. The app tells me I'm perm unlocked, so I'm little worried about what'll happen if I remove the app once I get root, or what'll happen if I update before rooting which I will.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Doesn't delete Itself. It disables, sometimes. The app holds zero bearing once u are unlocked. It doesn't say it unless u are. It persists to stay unlocked.dont worry.. yeah I never paid anything
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jim262:
It is also a reality that your credit and longevity with the carrier also counts in their deecision making.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] seijinshu:
That's no concern, we've been with them for 13-ish years. We may try contacting them soon, as we've been just trying the unlock app.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jim262:
I have been with them for around 15 years and have purchased from them in the past, never been late with a payment and on auto bill pay and they unlocked the phone within the first week when I called and requested it. I wasn't going to buy the 6T, but for $300 bucks...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] xDABZx:
I talked to one Twitter agent today and was able to get my phone sim unlocked by telling them I did development as a hobby and required admin access. Also said I had no intentions of switching carriers or flashing roms and asked what needed to happen to get the unlock pushed through. At first the agent told me the basic "needed to be fully paid off and be active for 40 days afterwards". I pushed her and asked if there was anything we could do. She then told me to wait 40 days and pay 2 installments of my EIP and they would unlock it. I asked her if we could bypass the 40 day wait if I made 2 payments that minute and she said she'd work on it. Made 2 payments and unlocked 5 minutes later. Put my unlock code in at about 10:15 AM MST 12-14-18.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sadistic_Loser:
My application says "Applied" and it has been three days, is this suppose to change to "In Progress" soon ?

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Koont:
Got my unlock bin today. Yeeeah boi.

Things that may have helped me get sim unlock quicker than some.

-business account.

-me stating that I travel for my business.

-saying I do Dev work.

-also stating that a temp unlock would be a hassle if my overseas trip got extended.

-stating that OnePlus said the bootloader would be unlocked.

-also telling them that I respect their business policy but can we make this happen.

-and giving T mobile props on being an awesome provider etc....

Was told to wait the 2 week return policy out and they delivered on their promise. Now I'm ready to root. Almost forgot, I didn't trade in my LG V20 for the promo
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] defcondev:
To SIM-unlock, I just used the support chat within the T-Mobile app and told the rep I'm going overseas soon and requested an unlock. She said "sure, one moment" and then came back a minute later saying she got the SIM-unlock pushed through and to wait 24-hours before trying to unlock using the T-Mobile unlock app. Of course, I tried it immediately and was able to SIM-unlock the phone. I have not made a single payment on the device yet.

I submitted my unlock token request to OnePlus on 12/11 at 1:11pm and just received the unlock token via email today 12/18 at 1:30pm
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jnralp00:
Man... It's been a loong time since I've been able to mod a phone. I havent made a payment, but got on Twitter and asked nicely reminding I've been a customer for 16+ years and they unlocked it for me. I put in for my unlocked token, but dang... Nervous I made a bad keystroke on that super long unlock code. Kinda excited to be able to root a phone again. I've had lg's and Samsung's for a long time that had the bootloader's locked down. Anyways .. sorry for the rant
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] naxalite971:
Due for token tomorrow.

OMG.

Dying to hide that Wi-Fi calling notification

And modify the hosts file

And nuke that effing branded T-Mo splash screen...

And whatever else I damn we'll please
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Just got off the phone with T-Mobile. They're sending me an email to unlock my phone. I had tried Twitter and the messaging in the app itself before calling them after hours. Both was denied before calling them.

Told them I was travelling for an extended amount of time. We'll see how this goes!

*fingers crossed*

I'll add that I am on a JOD plan and I haven't made a single payment yet either.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
Ah I see you talked to those inept Philippines CS too. In the end it's good cause they now have to keep their word on unlocking it. But... The unlock doesn't work like that and must be unlocked via the app.

Tomorrow hop on Twitter and tell them that you believe it is wrong and that they won't listen to you and need it done on the app. They should do it given that they noted it on the act
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Oh really? See, I had that feeling when they said e-mail too. So I just hop on Twitter and say that they told me they would unlock my phone but the app itself isn't working?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
UPDATE!! They did an override just now to unlock my phone via Twitter like suggested. At first she was wanting 2 payments on the phone right then to override it... But since I was on JOD, it was supposed to be all or nothing. So she messed up there and 5 minutes later did the override for me. I used the unlock app, rebooted my phone, and the app disappeared and I am unlocked!

Now my question is, when I go request for my unlock.bin what am I supposed to say for the unlock code number? Since I used the app I don't have it?

EDIT: nevermind. I'm an idiot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Read the op. It tells u exactly what to do. U type the command, it gives u code, enter it and imei, wait 7 days.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :

Submit mine earlier today. Hoping that at some point we will be able to take regular OTA's
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Josh McGrath:
I think you already can if you flash the international software over the Tmo

Nm that's only if you aren't rooted and flashed the international version
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
It is unconfirmed if we can take OTAs, you can use local upgrade.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Dont think we can get them.. tried 6 vpns?☺️?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Coderedpl:
Yea thats what I meant, i mean it would be nice but as long as we can do local upgrade I'm completely fine with that.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
Looks like OTA is probably not gonna happen, a few users have attempted it normally, via vpn and I’ve got my phone just waiting to see if it shows, I’m guessing it’s filtered somehow, meh.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Coderedpl:
One more day of waiting for me it seems. I wonder why they do the 7 day wait. Makes me think it's an automatic process. Maybe so you don't change your mind on phone or something ?

Got my unlock.bin:) took me about 50 mins to get it unlocked, twrp installed And magisk installed. Feels pretty good, been a long time. May try flashing a rom tomorrow. Pretty Good times

Got my unlock.bin!! Now waiting on my boyfriend's to come through too.. Root here I come!!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bassic:
I submitted my request a few days ago, still waiting. I don't even think I'm going to root because I'm quite happy with the phone as it is, though I will likely convert to the standard unbranded ROM to get rid of that bright pink boot animation.

What exactly is the point of these phones requiring an unlock token from the manufacturer? Is it a specific agreement between T-Mobile and OnePlus to keep the phones branded and prevent them (T-Mobile) from having to support warranty claims on modified phones, or to not have to provide technical support to a tinkerer who messed something up?

edit: I'm an idiot. Coming from Nexus devices for the past few years, I forgot that it's a privilege to be able to get an unlocked bootloader directly from the manufacturer. Apparently all carrier-branded phones are locked down pretty tightly. I have just been so used to freedom and an unlocked phone being a normal thing, forgetting that on many phones an exploit is still required to unlock it. I should also add that I *never* owned a Samsung phone, so I don't really know the pain that those users have! :D

I'm also not sure why there's a 1+ week waiting period to get the unlock tokens. I can't think of any reason preventing it from being instantaneous, downloadable immediately after submitting the unlock code.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Coderedpl:
Got mine, now to read what I need to and backup and off i go!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] spigawt:
I don't know which strange credit scoring system they go on if that's the case. I've been a T-Mobile customer for a month. My FICO is in the low 400s right now due to medical bills and an extended time where I was unable to work. They unlocked mine through chat, and offered to unlock my husband's as well (I took them up on that, of course).

Regarding the 7 day wait: Was it seven business days for everyone, or just... 7 days?
