[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] underoath403:
I know this is a noob question but if I purchased my phone from Verizon and I got it unlocked

And switched service to Sprint. Does this mean I can't root my device since i purchased it from Verizon? I know IMEI is different then oem but can I get Verizon to unlock this as well?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Verizon doesn't unlock bootloaders, even if you buy the device outright from them and use service from another carrier. Therefore, no root for you.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cjegan2008:
Recently, as I have been lurking in multiple forums, I have been seeing multiple posts that owners of the Pixel 4 XL that they bought from AT&T, once the device has been paid off and the Sim lock was removed, the allow oem unlocking option was no longer greyed out. Can anyone confirm this is the case ? And can anyone also tell me how the unlocking process went after the device was unlocked through the AT&T unlocking portal considering there is no official unlock code that you need to enter in order to use a new SIM card ? Was there an OTA update that was pushed to the device that allowed the device to be unlocked ? Thanks in advance for the information.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] datrmon:
have you been able to unlock yours too?

I am looking for a third-part sim unlock service for Google Pixel 4 XL AT&T. Search everywhere. I've not seen any reliable service.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] elegalll:
Have you found any reliable service? I want to sim unlock a Verizon pixel 4...
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cjegan2008:
There are no third party unlock sites for the Pixel 4 or 4, or 4 XL. You have to go through the carrier you got it from. And if you got it from Verizon, you may not be able bootloader unlock after the SIM is unlocked. T-Mobile and AT&T, once the device is SIM unlocked through the server, the device is bootloader unlocked.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] datrmon:
Thanks for the response, I do understand that the service provider (AT&T) are the only ones offering the Sim unlock at the moment. I'm juts being optimistic about a third party or XDA providing this service or we will be able to crossflash like the LG series.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cjegan2008:
The Pixel 4 XL is not like a Samsung device, where you can cross flash. It's a pure, Google phone. The way the bootloader unlock is determined, is based off a IMEI check through Google's own servers. Not any other carriers. What has transpired is that Google has baked carrier locking directly into Android 10, and each carrier maintains a database of Google IMEI numbers. Once the device is paid off, the carrier moves the IMEI to Google's own unlocked database, the device receives a over the air update from Google, then when the device is rebooted the bootloader and SIM card lock will be removed. This has been confirmed in AT&T and T-Mobile at the moment. No word on Sprint yet, however the Verizon version seems to be locked permanently, unless you got lucky and got a unlocked one immediately upon purchase.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] mrbogusbaxter:
i can confirm, ATT unlocked my GP4XL

via ATT unlock request (web portal)

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

unlike Samsung devices which usually are instant.

Call ATT and ask specifically for TECH SUPPORT (dont waste your time w/any other department)

With the GP4XL being dual SIM,

tell them you would like to utilise the Dual SIM with an additional line you have with another carrier, in which the phone is asking for the unlock code.

*** 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.

hope this info helps.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cjegan2008:
Can you confirm that OEM unlocking is not greyed out in Developer settings ? Go to settings>about phone>build number and tap 7 times. Enter your PIN code then back out to settings, then go to system, developer options. Scroll down until you see OEM unlocking. Can you check OEM unlocking ? Or is it greyed out ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
Did they send you a new sim card?? Cause I just asked on the chat and they said they are sending a new sim card and it will sim unlock my phone, aka bootloader unlock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] mrbogusbaxter:
Yes, the option for unlocking is available (see pix)

Your PIXEL 4 XL has (2) IMEI numbers (look on box)

The first IMEI number is registered for network use using a physical SIM card (currently for most)

The second IMEI number is registered using ESIM (electronic SIM)

In order for you to unlock the device via AT&T, you first have to switch over the phone to register using the ESIM.

This is where ATT is sending out a preregistred ESIM card that will be attached to the second IMEI. (the card itself is nothing but a card outlining network registration numbers, etc)

Once you switched from physical SIM to ESIM on ATT, then you can unlock the phone (of course still needing the unlock code) by placing a SIM card from a different carrier in the device.

With the device having TWO IMEI numbers, all carriers MUST oblige to any requests for unlocking for use of the second IMEI. With restrictions of course (like having initial service)

By law they have to. The device shipped with two 'enabled,' IMEI lines for network registration. So much so if they denied this option by law they would have to refund the entire purchase price of the device.

Now if the device shipped with the second IMEI disabled, then thats a different story.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
Mmmm juicy!

So once I get the e-sim and get it setup, I just need pop in a foreign sim and obtain a unlock code from at&t?

Thank you for responding by the way.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
Oops
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] mrbogusbaxter:
Yep! Setup your network w/ATT using the ESIM number (card) you receive

Once up and running, pop a SIM card from another network in.

Enter code and your FREE to go.

No problem for the info. AT&T shouldnt give you any problems.

though every once in a while you get an agent who has no clue..

For anyone who would like to unlock their ATT Pixel 4XL - I would first try unlocking

online through AT&T web portal. It takes about 2 minutes to go through the request.

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

ATT Online Unlock Portal
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
Kick butt!! I can't wait to have an unlocked bootloader and root!! Thanks again for the info!

I'll update this thread as soon as everything unfolds.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] mrbogusbaxter:
As I only just got my GP4XL, I myself am looking forward to see what goodies await.

Just digging into using the device now.

I am absolutely THRILLED that GOOGLE allows the PIXEL ONLINE PC TEXT MESSAGING. (as ATT just did away with their online PC -TEXT service)

and 10000x better !
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Munchyum:
Hey, so just been following this thread and was wondering... By code, you mean ATT actually sent you a physical code to enter into the Pixel 4? Or it's a remote unlock like iPhones?

Thanks mate!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] mrbogusbaxter:
If you fill out the request via the ATT web portal unlock (link)

they will email you the unlock code within 24-48 hours.

Once you get the unlock code, then you can start the process of contacting ATT to request to move your device to ESIM registration.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Munchyum:
Gotcha. So just to be clear, you had to enter an actual unlock code into your ATT Pixel 4 to unlock it? Like when you popped in a SIM from another carrier it asked for a unlock code that you had to manually enter?

And once the device is unlocked, why bother contacting ATT to move the device to ESIM?

Sorry, just wondering if I'm missing something :)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
Well in my experience. I told the att rep I wanted to use the dual SIM feature and needed to be sim unlocked. They started me off with a e-sim. When I get it in the mail I'm gonna set it up, then I'm gonna request the unlock code. I made it half way through the process. Hopefully I don't get held up on the unlock code.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Get what in the mail?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
Read my previous post.

They are sending me a e-sim so I can setup my e-sim and network unlock my phone
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] mrbogusbaxter:
The reference photo is what ATT will be sending (ESIM CARD)

Just a card listing numbers that will be preregistered to your AT&T account & device.

You can either call in with the card in hand OR activate the ESIM within the phone by scanning the QR code.

It will come with the instructions on how to scan (app, etc, etc)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cjegan2008:
There is no unlock code for the AT&T Pixel 4 XL. It is a over the air update, a server side lock, and not a unlock "code". And the back office AT&T team will more than likely deny the unlock code request if the device is not paid off, and the account has not been active for at least 60 days. The rep that told you this is information has no idea what they are talking about. And the ESIM is locked for other carriers exactly the same way the physical SIM is. You can use the ESIM on AT&T and that's it. If your device unlock has been successful, you are extremely lucky. This more than likely will not be the common experience of most people on this forum however. As for the legalities of AT&T having to unlock the device because it has two SIM cards, and they would have to refund the entire purchase of the device, I would like to see the law that says this. The information you state is either conjecture, or you were told in error. The FCC sets the standards for carrier locking, and unlocking, and yes AT&T sold you a device with dual SIM card functionality, however they are in no way obligated to unlock the second SIM card whatsoever. The device is not paid off. Therefore you do not own the device. It's leased, just like you lease a car. Once the lease is paid off, you can unlock it no problem.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Just so you know that the eSim is embedded and not a physical piece. I hope you understand what is going on because this has nothing to do with unlocking your phone afaik.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] splink7007:
I agree with this as web request, chat support and a call in to ATS were all denied for me. They will not unlock until paid off.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
Apparently it does, look at the previous posts. It's part of the dual SIM setup. Yes I know what a e-sim is. On the pixel 4 it is what makes it a "Dual sim" device. In order to unlock the device. You first have to have the e-sim setup, that way you can put a foreign sim card in and use it's service as well as at&t service. Since it's a dual sim device they cannot keep it locked as it's against the law.

You cannot insert 2 Sims. That's why they setup the e-sim.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
Chat transcript with at&t
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Munchyum:
Thanks for the detailed response. This is what I thought. Not sure what "unlock codes" are being mentioned here.

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

Never heard of it being against the law, but maybe maybe this method works as that would be awesome. I don't think they will unlock it just because you have your line activated on the Esim portion as they still need to process a remote/server unlock for the device.

Possibly they will though. Please report back.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
Chances are I'm completely wrong, but we will see. I'll chime in when the time comes.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cjegan2008:
I'm 100% sure that this will fail. Others have attempted this with the 4XL, and it ended up being the rep didn't know what they were talking about. Unless you are US military, and you are active duty and have orders to deploy, it is highly unlikely that AT&T will unlock your device. If you pay it off though, you will be able to receive the over the air update, and will be SIM unlocked and have a bootloader unlock available to you for modding the Pixel 4 XL.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Who-Lep:
I can confirm that after making 2 payments on my Pixel 4 XL that AT&T approved my request for SIM unlock. After it was SIM unlocked "OEM Unlocking" was no longer grayed out & I able to toggle the option. My Phone is not paid off & I am still making payments on it. The process took about 5 days for my request to be approved by AT&T. I believe there is a 60 day waiting period before being able to get it SIM unlocked.

In my scenario, It turns out SIM unlocked is tied to OEM unlocking & Pixel 4XL(AT&T) can be unlocked while still under payment contract (after 60 days)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
Can you please elaborate on how you got them to sim unlock you? What exactly did you ask/tell them?

Thanks in advance
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Who-Lep:
did not have any luck chatting with support or sales. I did it officially through the AT&T unlock portal: https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/. You submit your request and wait at the edge of your seat till you get a popup on your phone stating you device is unlocked. I believe It states it will take about 3 -5 days for them to make decision.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
Wow, that seems to easy. Thank you for your quick Reply. I'll try that again after a few billinh cycles
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Who-Lep:
No problem, let us know if you get the same results.

Also, rooted and running fine.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
currently when I try to get the whole run down about needing to pay the device off. Although I haven't even made it through one building cycle with this.phone, so I'll wait w couple months and try again..

Thanks again for sharing
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cjegan2008:
That was the issue I was having as well with attempting to unlock the device. I submitted 3 or 4 different unlock requests, with the device paid off, the first one was denied due to the IMEI not being in their system, the other three told me that my account needed to be open for at least 60 days. So I have to wait, I opened my account the 26th of November, and received my phone December 2nd. I'm hoping I can request a device unlock and it get approved after that 60 day period.

Bad Esn

Does someone know whether there is any possibility to remove sim lock if a phone has bad ESN? May be some 3-rd party service ....
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] jackslater2020:
Great information. After multiple attempts with AT&T customer service, my fourth request with device support processed my request with ease. Phone doesnt have to be paid off just have one of the sim lines active to your AT&T number.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Root-Maniac:
How did you ask? Did you just say you wanted a sim unlock or what?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Jj icefish:
What was your approach sir? The ladies I just spoke to was an Air head.?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] mrbogusbaxter:
AWESOME! glad to see success jackslater2020. You kept trying and you succeded!

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] jackslater2020:
The first three agents I contacted was call centers in the Philippines which was a complete waste of time.

immediately said no. called 4x and reached someone in the US. Told them I was going overseas and I needed to have my phone unlocked so I could use it with Vodafone in the UK.

notified me first I have to set up an AT&t digital SIM and then the request would come from Google and could take up to 2 weeks to process. the guy didn't even question me. he was so laid back I don't think he could have been bothered. about 4 hours later I received an email that the device was unlocked.

just keep calling until you find someone who will help you it's as simple as that.

I still have to wait for the digital SIM to arrive to see how the phone works with two lines active

:)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
No, because a blacklisted device is either stolen or unpaid. If it's unpaid then it can be paid off to remove the blacklist but if it's a stolen device then you are SOL, because it's handled on the carriers servers and they all share the data amongst each other in an attempt to deter criminals.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] jackslater2020:
oh that I can assure you they would not activate anything blacklisted or stolen.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Makov99:
Is it possible to "catch" this update (the file of this update) and use it on another Pixel to unlock it? Maybe anybody did so?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] KescarteDeJudica:
That's incredibly useful!

AT&T gave me trouble on this when I talked to them about it. Could you by any chance point me to where this is in the law? I'd really appreciate it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] vonDubenshire:
Just keep calling them and asking nicely and be pushy. Tell them it's vital.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] KescarteDeJudica:
Okay, I will!

Did that work for you? I tried 3 times before I gave up.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] vonDubenshire:
I think AT&T had a website form you can fill out before you call again I'd search but on mobile.

You need to be pushier. As in be nice but tell them you have to speak to their manager or even that one's manager.

Sound confident.

Was your device paid off and out of contract? I am wondering why the vendors weren't able to unlock. Generally, they said bad ESN, EIP, etc. Kindly let me know, as I have bought an ATT device but out of contract, I think, and will proceed to request ATT soon here

I guess you were lucky. I just tried, and I got Unsuccessful. I am on ATT still paying for my phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bprosek:
Can somebody please help me? I purchased a phone off of backmarket.com and have had some nightmare issues the first one the Google pixel 4 XL arrived thrashed and has a battery error that prevents the phone from staying on or charging over 50% that one I have to send back.

I purchased a second one that arrived in much better condition but when I went to unlock it it's locked to AT&T and it says that it is not paid off! I've been trying to figure out what I can do here because I have no idea who the original owner was or how much they even owe on it is there any way that I can do this unlock or how does AT&T deal with that should I just return the phone to back market and be done with it? Any help greatly appreciated!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] mrbogusbaxter:
the best advice is to contact ATT tech support dept (dont speak to a reg cust service rep) tell them you are leaving the country and must be able to use your device.

if they say no, hang up and try again.

Call as many as needed until you find someone who actually puts the request in.

You will find someone eventually I assure you.

Also you can ask to speak to a manager.

Truth of the matter all this unlocking crap is really a matter of the agent of who you get none of these rules ever apply it's all a bunch of crap.

good luck

I would assume a dual sim 4xl from Sprint would work the same way where you could ask them to unlock to use the esim with a different provider? 🤔
