I can confirm that the AT&T Pixel 4 XL has a server SIM lock just.like iPhones. There is no code to unlock the device. Included with the AOSP code from Android 10, carrier locks are baked right into the OS of Android 10. Interestingly, AT&T customer service representatives have no information whatsoever on unlocking the PIxel 4 XL, and they can't tell you how it's done. There is a back office team that handles AT&T unlocks, that even they are having issues unlocking the new Pixels from their system. I have submitted 3 unlock requests, each one denied due to the IMEI not being a valid AT&T IMEI number, even though my Pixel 4 XL was bought straight from AT&T on my business account. I have been able to confirm though, the unlock is a server unlock, however I am still waiting for AT&T's back office team to get their crap together and get my unlock pushed through the system. Once it goes through, I will be able to confirm or deny of the bootloader is unlocked when the device is released from their system. However, after speaking to multiple AT&T reps, I can say for a fact they have documentation that stated the device will be bootloader unlocked once the SIM card is unlocked. From what I can ascertain, Google is keeping a database of IMEI numbers from all carriers on the server end. Once the devices IMEI numbers are scanned into the carriers systems, there is a server side lock that locks the bootloaders and the dual SIM functionality of the Pixel 4's, and once the carrier manually releases those IMEI numbers from the server, it is whitelisted as a unlocked device on Google's end, and the bootloaders will be unlockable. However, due to backend agreements between Verizon corporate, and Google, this will not be the case for the Verizon Pixel 4's. Only the T-Mobile, AT&T and I am still waiting to confirm if that is the case with Sprint. Most of this info is not public. However, if you do a Google search you will be able to see during the development of Android 10 it was seen in the AOSP code that this very SIM locking technique was leaked through multiple tech news outlets. What Google internally did was implement the bootloader lock and the SIM unlock between the carriers and Google. For transparency purposes, this information was gathered from multiple sources, not just AT&T. It is purely a fact gathering effort I have done, and since I don't have all of the documentation to prove it, it based off of the information I have been given, and over time the information will either be confirmed and proven to be right, or not. This is all the information I have gathered about this. Hopefully people who have internal knowledge that has seen the documentation can confirm or deny my information.

If you read my post above it explains why this is the case. This type of bootloader locking has been going on with the Verizon variant of the Pixel lineup since the OG Pixel. The difference is this time, Google and other carriers have worked it out that if you buy through them, once the device is paid off, it will be bootloader unlockable through Google's servers.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vonDubenshire:
It makes sense I just can't believe how little anyone has said this on the internet.

I'm actually going to try a few approaches with Verizon for fun to see where j get.

Has anyone heard of sim unlocking with a new sim card? This att rep is telling me that.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vonDubenshire:
Interesting. Anyone?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Clueless. Where do they find these people?

But I will say one thing about 2nd tier support (VZW) but could be any carrier. I had a voicemail issue with dual sim and they transferred me to this guy who knew just about as much as any CSR as I've ever talked to. While on the phone he logged onto XDA and searched, found my post and we troubleshooted for about 1/2 hour. Turns out there is a hidden menu that I accidentally found while looking for something else but that's beside the point. He's been rooting phones since the old Droid days and has rooted every device he's had until the Pixel 2XL. In the conversation which lasted another 1/2 hour just bullshitting about Android, phones and features of Android 10. He actually showed me a couple of tricks I didn't know about but then I brought up bl unlocking on the Pixel 4. He just kind of went silent for a minute since he's probably been asked hundreds of times if he could unlock the oem switch since those kinds of requests would go to a person like he is. All he could say was, " I've really found no need to root with the current system software" and then dropped it. I mean why push the guy right? It was the only time in the discussion that he stopped talking for a second. lol

He knew I have a Google P4 so the bl unlock option was a moot point. But he will be calling me back since I left a message with him regarding the issue. I'm going to ask him this time around if Verizon can unlock the oem switch if they needed to. But the other takeaway is that these higher level techs are on XDA and have links to all the forums at the ready. So they are watching and aware of our trials and tribulations. Ok, coffee buzz off.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Root-Maniac:
Here's an update.

I received the card with the e-sim info. I followed the procedure and when everything is said and done, I get a "sim not provisioned mm2" when I try to activate the sim. At&t wants an additional $20 a month. That's where I stopped in the process. Nothing has changed except I now have 2 IMEI numbers showing in settings. Oem unlock is still greyed out. What a waste of time and energy, lol

I'm guessing the at&t rep was under the impression that I wanted a second line/ sim for my phone. I thought I made it clear I wanted a sim unlock, guess not.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cjegan2008:
Yeah I figured this was gonna happen. The only way AT&T will unlock a phone that's under a Next agreement is if you are U.S. Military with active duty orders, and even then, they don't like to, unless the military person is in a country where it falls outside of AT&T's coverage in foreign countries. Then they will more than likely be be willing to unlock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] v12xke:
Yes, it was a complete waste of time. Pay the phone off. You will be locked to their network until you do. That's the way it works, and what you signed up for. Once you own your phone, and are carrier unlocked you will be able to bootloader unlock. Most people understand this going in and either pay their phone off early, or opt to buy an unlocked phone direct from Google on a payment plan.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Who-Lep:
I was able to sim unlock, oem unlock, & root with out paying off the phone.

In my scenario I had to make 2 payments(60days) to get my request approved.

NEWS FLASH! -

*AN UNLOCKING CODE FROM ATT DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO PAY OF THE DEVICE!*

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! --- Incorrect!

follow directions *carefully* and exactly in order and success will come your way.

----- after you unlock your device, your bootloader unlocking option will be made available to you within 24 hours from unlocking (this feature does not show instantly...).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Start your unlocking request via ATT web portal unlocking request.

Few simple steps asking for your IMEI and account number.

https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/

The request takes 24-48 hours to process as it is sent electronically via ATT to Google

You will receive an email either with an unlocking code OR they will unlock your device automatically from their end. (I received both)

If you run into problems, and or AFTER your unlocking request is confirmed to be done,

call ATT + ask * SPECIFICALLY* for TECH SUPPORT repeat: TECH SUPPORT! (do not bother with Account Service Reps)

TECH SUPPORT will accomodate further requests to unlock, let them know you would like to utilise the Dual SIM with an additional line you have with another carrier!.

* the phone does NOT have to be paid off * --- this is due to the device itself carrying the DUAL SIM hardware, they have to accomodate this feature.

They will not give you any problems.

Once your phone is confirmed to be unlocked, have your device re-registered to SIM SLOT #2 (ESIM) - This will FREE up your physical SIM card (Slot #1)

ATT will setup your new ESIM registration, you will then receive a 'confirmation,' card via mail. This card will have a QR CODE that you will scan with your PIXEL device, completing

the switch to SIM # 2

Yes. He called me back and did not know or claimed not to know anything about the grayed out oem unlock toggle. I had him go into his and I told him what mine said and his was naturally the Verizon message. This was beyond his pay grade and not something he dealt with on a daily basis for his job. Either that or he was not giving it up. Nonetheless nothing doing even at his level. Sorry to report.

The effort was actually reading that nonsense and the poor schlub that actually tried it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrbogusbaxter:
again, really? yawn.

Once again, your device DOES not have to be paid off. Just in good standing

to have your phone unlocked. Anyone who tells you any different really does not have the proper knowledge.

Contact ATT tech support , they will manually place a request.

They can assist. And if not, hang up and try again. You will find someone who will do it.

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers] Kuma21:
Not sure how to title this forum post, but this is the best I got. Forgive my ignorance and lack of knowledge on these topics.

I was trying to root my Axon 7 mini. After some searching to find out how to unlock the bootloader (like needing JDK, older Android SDK version to run android.bat, etc.), I finally got it to work. Ran Recovery to "apply update from SD Card" (can not remember the file right now) and was then ready to load TWRP Recovery. When I rebooted to the recovery TWRP image, it told me something failed and the phone had to be factory reset. I took my SD card out in fear of my data being deleted and "accidentally" clicked the power button. It then reloaded with a password prompt where I typed some random password (1234 because I never set a pin password nor knew what to do here), clicked submit, and then gave me some error; now my phone doesn't work.

The Problem:

- I can enter bootloader, sometimes, but can only run fastboot commands; adb device does not detect phone so can't run adb commands (always says the server is old or something and reloads daemon successfully but never finds my device regardless). Also, I don't think I can get it to run in EDL mode; MiFlash gives out errors too when trying to flash recovery images.

- Recovery mode doesn't appear or work; not sure if the MiFavor command prompts on the phone is recovery or not, but it's safe to say this no longer appears. This is also where I believe the phone bootloops. I can get the fastboot commands to flash a TWRP recovery, but it never actually enters the TWRP dashboard.

- Can not turn off the phone... I think. None of the command options that appear on-phone shut it off; however, when the screen does stay black, I'm not sure if it's in EDL mode or plainly off.

- Device Manager shows the phone as different stuff (namely Kedacom USB Device and Portable Devices/MTB USB Device). Sometimes Qualcomm appears, but it depends. More often than not, when my device does appear, there's either an error code (like Code 10, Code 43) and/or the device is grayed out.

Conclusion:

I just want to get my phone to work normally again, if possible. Currently, I locked the oem to see if fastboot commands could still work and now I'm stuck at the ZTE logo, so can't try to unlock it right now. What are the proper tools, drivers, programs, etc I need to get this phone back to normal? I've scoured the web and these forums for 2 days now with no luck and lots of either missing info or obscure info.

I bought this at Best Buy, so I'm assuming it's US Axon7 Mini version in terms of drivers (not sure if the box specifies any info that could be useful here).
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers] mariegalante55:
Un-brick Axon 7 Mini

Dear all,

I experienced the same issue with my phone after I tried to flash it with custom ROMs and recovery.

I thought I lost it as I was not able to enter adb mode (not recognized on the PC) or even not able to enter EDL mode with the button combination so not able to do anything with it.

Only watch it boot and display the ZTE logo.

After some research, here is what I had to do to get it recovered.

First thing you need to get is an EDL cable.

I let you search on your favorite site. Mine was a Generic eDL Deep Flash Qualcomm 9008 Cable 2 in 1 for Z3 X/Octopus.

Until you receive it, make sure you have the latest Qualcomm drivers installed on your PC.

You can find it easily.

Then, connect your phone and your PC with the EDL cable.

Press the button on your EDL cable (there should be one) for a few seconds and keep it pressed.

Then, press the power button and keep it pressed for at least 20 seconds.

At this stage, you should have both buttons pressed and after some time, you should feel the phone rebooting.

After 20 seconds, release the power button.

Then, after 10 other seconds, release the EDL cable button.

At this stage, your phone screen should stay black and your phone should appear in the device manager as Qualcomm USBHUB (or somehting similar)

You are in EDL mode and should be able to perform a recovery flashing using tuliptool.

Then I followed the steps I found here:

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7-mini/how-to/updating-uk-version-zte-axon-7-mini-to-t3717933

If you are still stuck, pm me.

Be patient, all will be fine,
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers] Kuma21:
I had a feeling an EDL cable was my only option left given everything I've looked up and the multiple methods I've tried. Wanted to avoid spending money on one but doesn't look like I have a choice given the circumstances - oh well. Regardless, thank you for the response and advice. Have to wait a while, though, to get the cable and test to see if this works.

If anyone else ever ends up in the same royally screwed situation as me, getting an EDL cable - or DIY one if you wanna be cheap and are confident enough to do so - is probably your saving grace.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers] Kuma21:
K, I can get tuliptool to work and run command, but i keep getting a "Failed: Unkown Error" response everytime i run a command. Can't unlock my bootloader, nor write a recovery disk due to this error. does anyone have any idea why this happens?

[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] WhatDreamIsthat:
If I have my phone off, and power it on it will boot straight into the bootloader but have a black screen, if I press the powerbutton I assume I am choosing "resume poweron" because the phone restarts and then powers up with a black screen for 30 seconds before the animated part of the boot animation starts.

I have done a full reflash(afaik) from LOLINET using my device model file XT1926-5 and my region RETAPAC and when I reboot it still has the black screen.

I have Magisk installed and I believe my bootloader is unlocked, the only thing I remember doing was trying to flash TWRP but I have done a full restore since then using LOLINET.

Usually a black screen like this wouldn't be a problem, however the real annoyance is my phone constantly will freeze up for no reason, I will be mid way writing a message and the whole phone will hard freeze, I have tried doing another restore to see if this will fix it and alas it has not, so I am at a loss to what is going on, I have booted into TWRP and tried repairing partitons thinking something could be flipped and it was angry but no.

So I am a tad bit out of ideas unless anyone has anything for me? Logcat doesn't turn up anything interesting reguarding the crashes, I haven't found any events that are logged with ERROR,ASSERT or WARNING at the time of crash.

Anyone got something for me?
