I just had a chat with t mobile and she said if I was interested in rooting the phone I would be better off buying it from the Google store
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Ok, obviously you had a person on the phone that had no idea what you were talking about. No legitimate rep would say that the phone "always has an unlocked bootloader". That is simply incorrect and impossible for a brand new phone. So head over to the Google store or pledge some money for the thread that will ultimately pop up called, "Bounty unlock Pixel 4."
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
I sure wouldn't touch it until it was proven.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] superchilpil:
I'm sorry but carrier support staff are not a credible way to obtain info about the phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] inneyeseakay:
They have two on display at my local store that aren't in display mode like Best Buy... I'll go check them out today to see if the option is greyed out and follow up!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] S1nc3r3:
I went to At&t to check if the settings Pixel 4 and 4XL OEM Unlock is grayed out it say carrier branded bootloader cannot be unlocked
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] inneyeseakay:
AT&T Pixel 4
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeroKool76:
I would take that as a good sign. It can't be unlocked while it's still carrier locked(naturally), but if you pay it off and get the sim unlocked, it should then be available, right? Sounds logical. Keyword is "locked", not "branded". Had it said "unavailable on carrier-branded devices", then you'd be screwed.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
This. Once sim unlocked. It would be BL unlockable.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] superchilpil:
That is certainly not the case. The bootloader unlock is not influenced by the Sim unlock state
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
I've heard from a few, that is the case. I know parameters are different. But if it's.sim unlocked, no reason it shouldn't be BL unlockable
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] superchilpil:
All Verizon Pixel phones are Sim unlocked from the get go.

Yet they aren't able to unlock the bootloader.

I'm betting every Pixel 4 is Sim unlocked but the carrier variants are unable to bootloader unlock.

This has been and probably will always be the case for Pixel phones. There is no evidence to support otherwise.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMeeseeks:
Don't trust them. If you want to unlock your bootloader, buy directly from Google.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spaceman860:
With T-Mobile pixel 3's and 3a's can be bootloader unlocked once they sim unlock it. I'm sure it will be the same with the pixel 4

Just did a support chat with Google this time, and the Google agent claims the same thing, and says OEM Unlocking will NOT be disabled on the AT&T Pixel 4 XL.

Google support chat transcript:

Peter [11:56 AM]:

Thanks for contacting Google Support. My name is Peter.

Hi, John, in case you need to refer to this chat interaction in the future, please take note of the following ID : <snip>

Please allow me 2-3 minutes while I go through the description you've provided.

John [11:57 AM]:

Alright

Peter [11:59 AM]:

I appreciate your time and patience.

I've checked the issue description you've provided and I understand you want to know about the new device will be locked or unlocked.

Is that correct?

John [12:01 PM]:

No. I want to know if the new device will have the "OEM Unlocking" option in the developer options settings able to be changed. This is NOT carrier unlocking

Carrier unlocked and bootloader/OEM unlocked are two completely different things

Peter [12:02 PM]:

Thank you for elaborating in detail.

I wouldn't be able to comment on this.

John [12:04 PM]:

Can you transfer me to someone who can...?

Peter [12:05 PM]:

I'm trying to help you with the available resources that I have from my end.

Please allow me 2 minutes while I check for the information and help you accordingly.

John [12:07 PM]:

Alright thank you :)

Peter [12:08 PM]:

You're most welcome.

Thank you for staying online.

I've checked with my specialist team and I'd like to inform you that OEM Unlocking is not locked for the device that are sold from AT&T

John [12:11 PM]:

Okay, so just to be clear, the OEM Unlocking option in the developer settings should NOT be greyed out and I will be able to change that setting on the Pixel 4 XL sold by AT&T?

Peter [12:12 PM]:

Yes, John.

However if the device is a Verizon SKU then it cannot be bootloader unlocked.

John [12:13 PM]:

Okay thank you very much for looking into this!

Peter [12:13 PM]:

You're most welcome.

I appreciate your time and efforts in reaching out to us.

Apart from this, is there anything else I can help you with?

John [12:14 PM]:

Nope that's it. Thanks!

Peter [12:14 PM]:

Thank you for contacting Google. Have a nice day!

Thank you for contacting Google Hardware chat support. Your chat session is now complete.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jaben2:
So, got my ATT pixel 4xl today. First thing I checked was oem unlock. It is indeed disabled

Looks like I'm returning and just going to have to wait for my unlocked one from Best buy to show up.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] inneyeseakay:
Howd you get it early? Store sell it already or you pre-ordered?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jaben2:
Preordered through ATT. I was surprised when it was during on my porch today.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] inneyeseakay:
Sweet, What carrier was it shipped from? (Ups or FedEx?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jaben2:
FedEx
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
It will be locked until it's sim unlocked. Then you would be able to unlock the BL
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jaben2:
Not taking a chance with that, especially since I highly doubt that's true.

It even says under that oem unlocking tab that all carrier locked ones are restricted.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
Ok, then send it back. I don't care either way. Root provides me nothing of added benefit.

Keeping mine. ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jaben2:
Totally agree about root. I guess mines more about principle. I never unlocked my pixel 3xl, but I did have oem unlock enabled. Took a chance, knowing it would probably be that way. Either way better deal for me personally as I have almost $400 in gift cards to Best buy. Plus the additional $100 I'll get when I pick up the phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] KillerBytes:
I work for AT&T and I got a discount on the phone because of it. That's why I ordered it with AT&T. I'm probably going to return it and get one from Google Store with installments.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] inneyeseakay:
I got $1300 off two XLs through AT&T, so I'll live with a locked bootloader until CellUnlocker.net gets the unlock codes.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] KillerBytes:
Tried factory resetting my phone and still OEM Unlocking is grayed out. **** this. I'm returning it and buying one through the Google store. I know I won't get my discount there, but I hate having my **** locked down even in the slightest.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Who-Lep:
Anybody have any luck on AT&T? Mine is greyed out.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] KillerBytes:
imma try sideloading the factory image over my AT&T one with the sim card out and see if I can get that to work.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Who-Lep:
Good luck! Hopefully that will be the magic trick.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmatt503:
Are you talking about the bootloader? I'm Pretty sure cellunlocker unlocks phone for other carriers. I'm confused
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] inneyeseakay:
The way it's worded makes it sound like it will enable the switch once you sim-unlock the phone
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bigmatt503:
Good for you?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] theblizzard2010:
for what it's worth.. AT&T version - grayed out "unavailable on carrier-locked devices"

Did not activate with AT&T SIM. Tried Verizon SIM (wanted to see if it the radios where compatible) - got a message "Contact AT&T....", no prompt to enter an unlock code, which normally might occur using another carrier SIM. *scratch head*
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Out of curiosity, are you on a contract with AT&T for the device, or did you buy it outright?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] theblizzard2010:
Contract - this is a 100% R&D device, and thus far it's behaving exactly as it should (carrier locked) - well except when putting in the Verizon SIM, i expected a popup requesting an unlocked code...

Just looking for inconsistencies, just as a few Verizon fellows have already rooted theirs, seemingly THAT wasn't supposed to occur, and others are still stuck.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Thank you.

I was just curious if you bought it outright, AT&T has an unlocking portal to carrier unlock devices. There is a 14 day (If I recall correctly) wait period once device is paid off before they will unlock.

I've used it in the past, mostly for carrier bought iPhones, but curious if it works for others as well.

You can try yours if you like.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] KillerBytes:
I work for AT&T and that's false. It's 24-48 hours for it to unlock after you request it
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
I didnt say after you request it, I said 14 days until you can request it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] inneyeseakay:
I bought an AT&T Galaxy S8 Active outright at Best Buy, requested the unlock from AT&T the same day and it was approved about 12 hours later.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Correct, you bought outright, I said 'after the device is paid off' which occurs after an installment plan.

In retrospect, perhaps I should have worded it differently.

And for the record here is the policy. It seems different from the last time I did one (10/7/18), but it what it is now.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] inneyeseakay:
They'll unlock it as soon as it's paid off, no waiting period other than the 24-48 hours from the time you request it.

Sprint and T-Mobile have waiting periods, but not AT&T
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dave5777:
I ordered mine from At&t for my employer discount, I'm not really worried about root these days especially now having dark mode.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Who-Lep:
I've read a couple threads on AT&T support that you can unlock after 6 months of payments. Not sure how valid that is, but I was able to unlock my v20 & v30 before it was paid off.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

Has anyone unlocked their sim using a 3rd party before? I wonder if that would help.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] freddienuxx:
I'm actually going through this with T-Mobile as we speak. They claim the phone is unlocked on there end but that stupid pixel unlock app is not working can't unlock it. The first time I buy a phone from a carrier and it sux
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jaben2:
Ate you referring to the OEM unlock toggle? If so that is different from unlocked per T mobile. They are referring to sim unlocked, meaning you can use the phone on another carrier.

I think there is lots of misunderstanding when it comes to this process.

Sim unlocked equals use on any carrier.

OEM unlocking in settings equals boot loader unlock capable.

So as far as tmobile sees it is unlocked, as in not carrier locked.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] freddienuxx:
Yup I know. The Sim unlock doesn't work either and bootloader unlock isn't working either. I put a Verizon Sim in phone and error message was can't use sim contact TMobile
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jaben2:
Well that's stinks. Hopefully they figure it out. I hope I didn't come off rude, just used to a lot of people not understanding the difference.

Good luck
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] freddienuxx:
Yeah lol no worries I've been around the block. Thx for your input much appreciated
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dave5777:
AT&T was taking too long to ship so I cancelled and bought an Unlocked 128gb from Google.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ilal2ielli:
I'd say that was the better choice.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] B4tnam:
Don't know if this has been updated but I have a Pixel 4 XL from ATT and unlocked it after I paid it off and the option is open now.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel4653:
Have you actually unlocked your bootloader?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] syrkel2:
I have with the sprint variant on 2 different devices. It indeed enables the OEM unlock toggle when it's sim unlocked.

Is there any way to bypass this? Or is my best bet to just connect a usb-mouse and just click aimlessly?

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Silav:
Hello everybody,

have a SM-A520F 2017 and the device does not boot up. It only appears a downloading window with the down arrow and the DOWNLOADING Do not turn off target caption. It is DEFINITIVE Not the "normal" download window, which is activated quietly with the three buttons Home, Power and Volume. The device can no longer be switched to recovery mode. It opens immediately again the said Downloading window. I can connect the device so often to Odin, my firmware for the phone is permanently aborted. Samsung driver USB are installed.

The phone starts immediately in the said mode. At the top left, the name of the device, Product Name, Current Binary and the Warranty Void are missing.

If I then go into the "regular" download mode, I can use the volume button louder in the regular download mode. Then I connect to the Odin and want to install the DBT firmware SM-A520F_1_20191008075953_4pjcpo4py2_fac. It appears FAILD .... Although before COM 3 appears. Once the FAILD appears, I can not connect the Handyy a second time to the USB port. I have to manually restore the download mode with the three buttons.

In the further course of this email you will find the error message.

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] r0brimmer:
I've asked this on Reddit already, but thought it was worthwhile to ask here as well

It's been a long time (3 years) since I had a device that I'd been able to root and I wanted to make sure I'm ready to do it on my UK 7T whenever a solution becomes available (I've checked here and it seems a bit hit and miss at the moment). In order to get my device prepped should I just unlock the bootloader and wait for someone to get TWRP and Magisk working? Basically, I want to avoid losing all my stuff in x weeks time when the process becomes safer/simpler and from memory I think unlocking the bootloader causes everything on the device to be wiped.

TLDR

2 real questions:

Does the process of rooting the device wipe it, or does that only happen when unlocking the bootloader?

If I unlock the bootloader when I first get the device, will this be me prepped for rooting later on without losing all of my data?

Thanks
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] lmfao009:
If you're not going to install a custom Rom, you're prepared for root without losing your data. I did it too yesterday when my 7T arrived, right after update oxygenos.

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Hanuta1:
I'm changing from an iPhone 7+ to Oneplus 7T and got it yesterday. Why you don't make a backup when it's time for root? So far I can't see Custom ROMs or a working TWRP for the Oneplus 7T.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] jesrani:
Yes, i lost data when unlocking the bootloader but then it was okay while rooting. I think you should unlock the bootloader and root as soon as you get the phone, but after updating to latest 10.0.4 version
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] lmfao009:
Unlocked Bootloader / no Magisk Hide

Consider that apps like GooglePay or other apps will refuse working since they detect the unlocked bootloader state as possible security leak. GPay says, that due unlocked bootloader it does not want to initialze it.

So after facing this problems I would recommend, since magisk is limited to patching the actual boot.img, to stay on locked bootloader and unlock it after a secure method exists to install magisk and maybe TWRP. Otherwise, if you donot use these kind of apps, you can stay with unlocked BL.

For some reason, every now and then, I'll send an MMS using Verizon Messages, and it will get stuck on "sending", and never send. This happens when connected to WiFi or data. If I delete the MMS, and send it using Samsung Messages, they go through immediately. Anyone know what that could be? I never had the issue with my S9. It only started when I got my Note 10 Plus. I've tried uninstalling and installing the app, and also going back to older versions, and it didn't help.
[General Questions and Answers] Claghorn:
There are a bazillion recipe apps, so it is nearly impossible to determine if one of them has the features I want. Anyone know if there is a recipe app you can use while cooking to follow along with the work? List all the prep and let you check off the ingredients as they are chopped, etc. Then list the cooking steps and let you check them off as you go. If for example, you are supposed to cook for five minutes, then show a countdown timer on that step when you get there. If you are supposed to have a couple of steps going at once, split the screen to show both of them. Basically a way to remind you of everything so you don't get distracted and leave something out. Kind of like a preflight checklist, only this is a while cooking checklist.
