[Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers] sz.hatef:
Hi there, there is just two way to solve this problem.

1. Contact with a Xiaomi Service Center. (They have their regulations to make sure that you are the owner of the phone)

2. Find someone that have Xiaomi EDL Authorized Account. (Most of them will ask for a turned off finding device feature, otherwise even they would not be able to help you)

If you are sure that your find device future is turned off, you can find someone in internet (at your own risk) that posses an EDL Authorized Account, or you can try websites like S-Unlock (also at your own risk) to get an EDL Authorized Account for yourself, it costs about 30$.

If "Find Device" option is turned on; either make a contact with Service Center again, or, I do Afraid, sell it as spare parts.

There is just one other way but it is highly risky: find someone that can change the chipset. (Hardware repair: not recommended)

If I were you I would double check if I still can get access to my mi account or not, maybe you can find some options to open it with some other credentials info.

1- my mi account is with my mobile no, but as u shown

if anybody call me from saudi arabia they start with 05xxxxxxx

but if they are calling from any country should start +9665xxxxxx

thats mean remove 0 from the the number

my mistake i put +9966 0 5xxxxxx for that I can't get the message of reset the password

I contact with the company they rejected my order and ask for me wifi which I use it for more than 5 years

2- my device is formatted so nothing I can do if finding device on it will be on and can't do anything

and something weird after formatting it is given me unlock code as shown and I tried and it was wrong

<a href="https://ibb.co/VLhnbLc"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/mRYZdRV/Whats-App-Image-2020-08-14-at-4-28-47-AM.jpg" alt="Whats-App-Image-2020-08-14-at-4-28-47-AM" border="0" /></a>

I am going to try s -unlock and actually I start searching for chipset

thank u very much

Can I upgrade through Samsung if its halfway paid off from a carrier?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Tidbits:
no
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] javitogomezzzz:
I don't see why not. As long as you continue to pay whatever you owe it should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Hedrush:
You can sell your phone as long as you keep paying the bill. Wether Samsung allow you to trade it in is another matter though. All you can do is fill out the trade in form on the website to see.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] JAMRZ69:
Yeah I'm afraid if I send it to Samsung and everything else is fine condition wise that the fact I'm still paying on it to At&t that it will flag it on Samsungs end and I really don't want that.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] jasons1004:
if phone not paid off imei would likely be flagged. Don't think trade in would process correctly however you can TRY, Samsung would just send you back the phone tho to keep paying off i think if you are able to submit it online even
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Hedrush:
As Jason says above, the IMEI might get flagged. Fill in the form on the website and check though. It will ask for the IMEI number and if it goes through ok everything should be fine I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] 708408:
You can trade in a carrier locked phone to Samsung. I traded in a carrier iphone, that was only half paid off, for the S10 and didn't have any problems.

People telling you that you can't are just spouting words out the wrong end of their body.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
samsung doesnt accept devices that are being financed.. or at least its in the fine print but dont think they check it really..

either way ull still need to pay it off.. ull owe on the new phone and the old one.. if u dont tell ur carrier u can prolly continue paying monthly until its paid off but if for w.e reason they catch on or u cancel the agreement ull be billed whatever is remaining in one lump sum
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
thats not good advice in my opinion lol.. selling a phone that isnt paid yet can cause problems.. if for example he decides hes not gonna pay it then it can b blacklisted and new owner will b screwed lol

plus they cant get it unlocked until its paid off unless they put out some $$$ for a third party service
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
and of course if this happens any trade in credit would be reversed and hed end up paying full price which i assume defeats the purpose of trading it in to begin with lol
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
bcuz samsung probably only checks if its blacklisted or not and to identify device to make sure it belong to the device the customer is claiming..

chances r itll go through and nothing will happen on samsungs end.. carrier prolly dont care either as lomg as u pay it off eventually.. if they do for some reason blacklist it then it wouldnt matter since hed already have traded it in and no longer has it to use it anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] JAMRZ69:
I checked the IMEI on Samsungs site and It came up clean so I'm pretty sure trading it in will be ok,I'm gonna pay it off monthly with my plan don't really owe that much on it.just didn't want to lump sum it on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Hedrush:
How's it not good advice? It's his phone, he owns it and can do with it as he pleases. Thousands of people upgrade their contract phones but like to keep the phone they already have and sell the new one and continue to pay their contract. It's not illegal.

As for him screwing people over. Well that's on him and how honest he is. Also, anyone who buys a phone off someone wether it is locked to a network or not takes the chance that that person is legit, and for example the phone is not stolen and won't be IMEI locked by the carrier.

---------- Post added at 12:07 ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 ----------

Yeah don't listen to him dude. You're obviously a legit person who isn't going out to rip someone off.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] JAMRZ69:
No I always pay my phones off and usually order unlocked from Samsung but I switched to AT&T recently and got the phone from them when I added lines so I have like 5 lines I'm paying on plus At&t credits the price of your phone monthly instead of an allout upfront credit.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] _Dennis_:
Selling the phone, in and if itself, doesn't cause problems. Not paying for it can and will cause problems.

I don't think anyone should tell someone not to sell the phone, I don't think anyone should buy phones that aren't paid off.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
You are incorrect.. the device isn't his until its fully paid off. Until then it is still owned by the carrier. He signed the agreement when he got the phone which surely broke it all down.

I never claimed he was doing anything illegal. I was simply saying recommending he sell a phone not paid off that is still owned by the carrier is unethical. People do this all the time and unexpecting people buy these phones and it up getting screwed for various reasons such as insurance fraud, unpaid leases, blacklisted and more.

im not saying he is bad or good bcuz i dont know him and ultimately he can do what he wants. Either wayhe will have to pay the phone off regardless.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Hedrush:
You are incorrect. The phone is yours to do with as you please. The carrier extends you a line of unsecured credit meaning they can't repossess the phone.

Look through your own agreement and you will see that the carrier does not place a lien on your phone. The provider retracts their right to repossess it and grants you legal ownership of it.

The phone will remain locked to, in his case, AT&T until paid off though at which point it can then be unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
you are missing the point entirely.. its bad business to sell a phone that is not paid off yet cuz it can still be blacklisted screwing over the potential buyer.

regardless, it depends on the carrier and what the agreement is. Some use leases and some use installment billings.. My contracts with Sprint are very clear that it remains their propert until fully paid off. One can even lease the device indefinitely even.

I suppose if hes up front and tells the buyer its not paid off yet then sure but I dont know many that would knowingly purchase it in this case unless theres a significant discount.

Try telling someone who buys a phone that gets blacklisted due to an unpaid balance that you own the device and its your property but cant remove it from the blacklist cuz its not paid off lol.. but hey, if thats the type of businessman you are then so be it. At least I know better so I wouldnt fall imto that trap to begin with lol. Thats like making payments on a car then selling it before paying it off then it gets impounded from new owner lol.. its just wrong and unethical.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Hedrush:
I'm missing the point? My point is that the phone is the property of the person who has taken out the contract to do with as they please, which is correct. I don't understand what you don't get about that. It's the same with anything really bar a car or a house where the lender can reposses them if payments aren't made.

If you buy a TV for example and take it out over 24 months but don't keep up the payments the lender isn't going to pop round and repossess the TV. They take you to court for the outstanding balance plus interest.

As for it being bad business, it's not bad business on the seller, it's bad business on the buyer buying a second hand phone off eBay or wherever. You take a risk as you don't know the history of the device, wether the phone is stolen or not and it could be blocked at any point.

We are going to need to agree to disagree on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
"It's not bad business on the seller" So the seller offers a device knowing it's still under contract. If for any reason he/she fails to keep the terms of the agreement the buyer could be penalized even though he/she have met their obligation to the seller in paying the full agreed upon price.

IF the seller informs the buyer of the contractual obligation prior to the transaction only then can you fault the buyer but in any other circumstance it's definitely bad business on the seller.

To suggest it's bad business by the buyer IF the seller failed to disclose an encumbrance on the device, notwithstanding the buyers lack of due diligence is unreasonable.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Hedrush:
Would you buy a phone from eBay?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
The last 6 devices I've bought on EBay but always new devices. Would I buy a used device on eBay or Craigslist? Not likely but I've sold used devices and always practice full disclosure. This has nothing to do with the point I've raised. Let's put in a different perspective, how would Judge Judy rule?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Hedrush:
We are going off on a whole different tangent here.

You will always have some kind of risk buying a second hand phone. Buyers aren't going to do due diligence and sellers aren't going to do full disclosure and scare off the buyer by telling them the phone they are buying is still getting paid off. That hasn't happened ever.

Anyway my original point still stands. The OP owns the device and can do with as he pleases. Even Samsung agrees as they have agreed to the trade in.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] digitaljeff:
Side note..getting device unlocked before the service agreement/device financing IS allowed in certain countries. In Canada for example you, by law, can request to have your phone unlocked after 30days of your term. Doesn't matter if your on finacing/contract etc. Purchasing a device outright w/ any carrier, that device is unlocked @ purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
hence why i said unless they pay a third party service to sim unlock
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] elliwigy:
its a whole tangent you brought up but is related to my original point.. if i bought a used phone on ebay and it wasnt disclosed as still being financed id be disputing it and returning it.

Sellers not providing full disclosure in order to avoid scaring off buyers is exactly my point when I say its unethical to sell a device that is still being paid off unless of course they make the buyer fully aware of this.

the way you make it sound is even if they have a phone and still owe 1000$ on it that its their property to do what they want (i agree) that it isnt unethical to sell to someone without full disclosure (i disagree) is ok to do.

perhaps you don't know or have a different opinion as to what "unethical" means. What I mean by it is yes, they can do it but morally it is not right without full disclosure since it can be blacklisted. Someone buying a used phone might pay 800$ for a phone they think is free and clear then come to find out randomly when the phone stops working that the seller failed to tell them it was being financed still.

what if someone ends up in an emergency situation and all a sudden there phone is cut off? if that person dies or something bcuz someone didnt tell them everything when they sold them the phone you think thats ok?

keep in mind they have these policies and procedures in place specifically to prevent this from happening for a reason. They didnt just wake up one day and make a random policy lol. Of course in carriers eyes its to prevent fraud/theft. A person agrees and signs a contract saying they will pay off the agreed amount for the device. When someone doesn't that in itself is "unethical."

and as far as tvs and such it depends on where you go. Ive heard of aarons or rent a center showing up at peoples doors to get their property back and yes, they sell phones too.
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] timecutter:
tl/dr...received broken new phone followed by flaky replacement. returned moto edge.

Purchased edge from moto, overnight free shipping, received it and out of the box it wouldn't boot past the moto logo. It would show the logo, vibrate and then turn off. I put it on the provided charger and cable, it would show the charge logo, vibrate, go black for a few seconds and then repeat the logo/vibrate process. I could get it to boot into recovery so I thought that using Rescue and Smart Assistant tool might get me going. Hooked up a cable, ran the tool and ran rescue. After rescue (with cable plugged in and connected to the computer), it would reboot and come up. Success, or so I thought. unplugged it and everything was still good. Battery showed 60%. I used it for a bit, restored my backup. sent my wife a text and heard her phone ding so I thought it was ok. Remember it is unplugged at this point. I rebooted and it was back to not booting again. couldn't get it to charge (charge logo/vibrate repeat). I hooked it back up to the computer and ran rescue again with same result. Called Motorola and after several transfers finally got someone who could help get me a replacement. I just needed to pay for it again so they can ship me a new one. After I expressed displeasure they dropped the price of the replacement to $333 which they would refund once I shipped it back. I agreed and waited for the shipping notice. Finally received that and noticed that instead of overnight the replacement was 4 business days. strike 2.... received the replacement phone and it boots up and appears to work. I made and received calls, sent another test text to the wife and heard the ding. The phone was fast, the edge was neat for a few minutes but quickly wore off. strike 2.5.... I sent my wife and a couple of co-workers texts during the day today and never heard back from them. I asked one of them about it they said that they had been texting me all day and I wouldn't respond. strike 3 but we'll keep going along for one more. I am on Verizon. Checked my account and noticed that they still had my old phone listed with the old IMEI numbers. I contacted support and explained that I could send but not receive texts, could make and receive calls. We tried a different sms app with same results. I asked him to check the account settings and to look in the IMEI issue, they asked for the new IMEI number and after several attempts said it wasn't in their system and that they couldn't activate it. strike 4... it is boxed up and I am back to the g7.

To be fair, I probably could have gotten the phone activated with a call to higher support but something was off about the phone. I don't often regret a purchase but I did this one.

You have to change the set the prefered network to lte/cdma/evdo/gsm. After that open messages hit the 3 dots top right corner touch settings then chat features it will the verify your phone number. Phone is set to gsm/lte from stock. Use 4G LTE app from play store.

I think it was only if you signed up to be notified of the preorder, and then ordered through the link sent. At least that was the experience in my household.

I signed up to be notified. M'lady did not. We both ordered later that night when preorder opened, and each got $150.

I got an email the next day, saying "time to order", so I went through that link an got $200, so I cancelled my first order.

Hello guys not sure if its wrong section or not.

But i was wondering if there is anyway to implement android auto on toyota camry 2019 head unit?

Because i think Toyota already stated if you want android auto on camry get a 2020 model or later so i dont want to upgrade my camry just to get android Auto.

So i was wondering if there anything can be done on 2019 model ?

Thanks ..

I think that the fastest solution is to buy a new aftermarket head unit.

Search the brand like Pioneer, Sony, Alpine.

Often Pioneer provide a dedicated head unit for the specific car

Mine is also from sprint and greyed out.

TF?

Wonder how we enable that feature.

---------- Post added at 05:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 AM ----------

So I just tried to enter recovery mode and it asked me for a password??

I entered MY 4-digit unlock code and it failed.

I pressed "Forgot Password" and it said "You will lose all music, photos, etc..."

I couldn't simply exit the screen. I had to hold PWR+VolUp to reset.

Is that because OEM unlock is greyed out?

Edit: It is Recovery Mode that is password protected. Why?

Edit 2: It had to do with having a secure pin. Turn off secure unlock and you can get into recovery. OEM Unlock was still greyed out.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] bootlooper:
I believe oem unlocking is greyed out because you are still simlocked. If you just got the phone today there is no way you are unlocked either the XDA way or meet TMobile criteria for official unlock.

I saw another thread where the password was oneplus on something in the bootloader. Not sure if this was the place but can't hurt to try.

Sorry if either of these things is incorrect.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] schneidz:
thanks to yoo both. i bought the fone outrite (no lease plan) so its mine.

my previous fone was an essential so I never knew the carrier got in the way of unlocking the boot loader... but i

remember having to wait til after payoff to get the fone carrier unlocked ( which is different). i gotta' admit, i have no idea what all these password and codes being mentioned are (wow, a lot has changed in three years).

i came across this site in my searches but i dont have an unlock code ? not sure the purpose of this site since fastboot mode doesnt have internet access ?
