[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] BillThyCat:
First off AT&T is GSM, which means if the phone is unlocked you can just stick and sim card in there and bam, it works.

CDMA is different. I know I have looked at my QPST and EPST info pretty close, and there are many settings in there that are carrier specific, so that if you were to try to use it on a different carrier it wouldn't work very well. Phone most likely will work, but data is a different beast. I see dozens of people on here who flash a sprint rom on their verizon phone and accidently let customization run, once you've done this, rolling back to a verizon rom in some cases doesn't fix the problem, you have to go in and hand edit a lot of settings, the same could apply here, since Sprint apparently is different than most carriers.

I'm glad you've had luck getting other carriers phone's activated, and how many of those were smart phones? I bet most were just plain phones, in which case there isn't any problems.

I'm not gonna get in a flamewar with you, I stated my opinion, you stated yours, I feel yours is wrong, you feel mine is wrong. Lets leave it at that.

As to the OP, feel free to try to get it activated, heck, it might work, but if it doesn't, then again, get the correct carrier branded phone and you will have no problems!

One question am I able to just get the service information from my razr and use that? and if so how do I do that.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] necromis:
actually I am not flaming, and not stating opinion. I am stating fact. If you buy a stock HTC phone w/o contract, which would be unlocked. You can get it activated on any carrier that supports its network CMA or GSM. Smartphone or regular phone. The point is to not tell them it was from another carrier.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SERAPHAZAZIEL79:
Actually it can be done. I done it today with no problem. Just because the epst and qpst settings are carrier specific doesn't mean that they cant be changed. What I will say is that after you have unlocked the phone and finally have your # activated on alltel via esn your sprint mogul will be functional. you have to update the prl so u wont be stuck in roaming and your data package will be disabled because Sprint uses a different server address. In order to change these settings you will use both qpst to set in hard settings and back everything up and then epst to keep the settings within the phone. the reason you wont have data has to deal with the Security and M.IP settings. its a lot to type so im not going to but if im on at any time you can pm me to walk you through it or even better you can reach me on yahoo messenger. its set within my phone as well so I can give you real time help with the settings on the spot. My messenger name is seraphazaziel79 as well.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Elizle:
I bought a Qwest phone sometime this Spring and I was trying to get it activated on Verizon. I flat out told them it was from another carrier, they put that in my customer file and copied down the ESN so when I called back and told them that it was a XV6800 they called me out on it. Basically lie to them from the beginning and you should be good. If they won't activate it you can sell a Sprint phone on ebay. My Qwest phone makes a pretty decent paper weight.

I installed android 13 on my Pixel 6 and the bootloader stayed unlocked. I can't use google wallet anymore because of this. I just finished setting up all of my apps and getting everything working again so I really don't want to wipe my phone to lock it. Can someone help me out with this?
[Google Pixel 6] tom1807:
Without wipe? No way.

But if you go so far, why not root it? Wallet works for me with Magisk.

I don't want to root my phone but I don't want to waIt to upgrade to 13 via OTA. If I sideload it will everything be normal (restoring my apps, future updates, etc)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Teet1:
Hi all, I just recently purchased a Google pixel 6 pro new for cheap coming from a Galaxy S9. I was wondering if there are any downsides to unlocking the bootloader? Like losing some kind of functionality or DRM or Widevine certification, etc. forever? Switching from a brand that has everything locked down I'm used to losing functionality lol
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] marathone:
As far as I know, only rooting will have disadvantages, <ie> Banking and Google Pay. My Bank won't allow rooted phones to use its app.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Disadvantages to unlocking the bootloader (unlocking the bootloader can be done without rooting after):

It may be possible that some rare banking or other sensitive apps will notice that your bootloader is unlocked and refuse to fully function.

If you're not very careful, you could accidentally either temporarily or permanently brick your device by flashing the wrong thing.

Truthfully, most of the time, having the bootloader unlocked (or at least OEM unlocking enabled) gives you MORE recovery options if something bad happens (such as you flash Android 20 Beta 1 and it bricks your phone).

Having the bootloader unlocked is by its nature less secure, so if your device gets stolen, there may be a greater possibility a hacker can break into your phone and/or get valuable data out of your account or cause greater havoc. I've never had a phone stolen, although I did find someone's stolen Sprint HTC 4G (if I remember the model correctly) one time, which I arranged to return to the owner by calling Sprint. I assume the person who stole the phone gave up on being able to easily use the stolen phone, since Sprint erased and locked down the phone remotely.

Disadvantages to being rooted:

Have to manually update anytime you want the new month's update.

Have to jump through a few hoops to make sure almost all banking/sensitive apps don't realize that you're rooted. The method may change from time to time due to changes in Android, so there's always the possibility any time you flash an update to Android on your device that you'll have to wait for and flash an update to root-hiding methods.

Advantages of being rooted: Well, you know, there are tons. :)

Good luck!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Teet1:
Thank you! i've been in the game for a while so I know the pros/cons of rooting and unlocking. I just didnt know if there were any device specific downsides on the pixel 6 pro, but it seems its just the usual stuff. Coming from a locked down brand, this is very liberating!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Cool, you're welcome. Yep, I fooled with a Sony phone once. Was extremely disappointing that it gimped the camera on purpose if you unlocked the bootloader using their official means to do so. And for a while with the bootloader unlocked but not rooted, I still received OTA updates just fine, but then suddenly they stopped allowing OTAs to download and install actually over the air - had to use XperiFirm to download and then flash them manually.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] LLStarks:
It's getting harder to pass various integrity checks for Play, banking apps, and GPay. And now device integrity. You have to consciously maintain all of these.

Just put 13 stable on my phone and charging my phone Takes forever I mean it's slow as hell..Wasn't the best on Android 12 but hell on Android 12 it was way faster.. That's the one thing I hate about this phone the battery life sucks an charging the battery is so damn slow..I got all the Adaptive crap turned off.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'll have to pay more attention to the charging speed on my P6P and let you know what I experience. I try to never use fast charging, never charge overnight, try not to let the battery go below 25% and don't charge past 75%. That 50% range lasts me about 24 hours, but I might use my phone less than you.

I had no complaints about the charging speed on Android 12.

Edit: I'm happy with how much my phone has charged in the last 45 minutes, given that I don't use fast charge methods.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] waterlover112:
I am having the same issue. Installed 13 stable on my 6 pro. My battery got down to 4% so I plugged it in. I continued to watch YouTube and after an hour it was only up to 8%. Something is def wrong. The battery sucked before but now it's even worse
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
Updated yesterday and seems ive now got an issue with wireless charging. My phone stopped charging at 81% overnight. Its very intermittent whether it starts charging now on the two wireless chargers i have and seems to stop randomly, not getting to 100%. Charges fine using a cable.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] veeroohre:
Have the same problem since upgrading to android 13.

According to AccuBattery is the charge current around 900 mA. Way too slow and really annoying!

Didn't have the problem with android 12.

I'm using an Anker Power Port III which can charge with up to 25W. It's the same with other cables and charging devices.

Edit: Attached some screenshots
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
To clarify one thing for a number of users, you will not get adequate charging speeds without the official charging cable, the 30W Google branded wall brick and good temperature conditions.

The temperature conditions are generally the hardest to control whilst using the device - so I always charge with my phone powered off and have never had an issue. Heck, I generally charge with a 5W wireless pad and it always reaches 100% overnight (usually takes about 5 hours with my minimal wattage charging pad).

*Edit*

In the end - with the official cable usage - my charging speed hasn't changed between A12 and A13.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] veeroohre:
I think you didn't get my point. I did a comparison between android 12 and android 13. Since the charging speed is reduced dramatically it doesn't matter which cables or charging devices I use unless they are the same.

So we don't discuss absolute charging times here but the fact that by upgrading the OS of our Pixel 6 Pro the charging behaviour changed ceteris paribus.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
I charge slowly over night, the charger i use normally charges at 1.5A max, now on A13 it is charging at 800mA
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pakin1:
I have ESR magsafe ring. My car charger is working for about 2 minutes and stops. Battery temperature reach 43°C within 2-3 minutes since I upgraded to android 13.

All of the magsafe accessories stopped working. All of the normal QI chargers stopped working. I absolutely hate this phone. First 3 months - no reception in buildings. Still no 5G in my country even with root and signal guru. Now it's not charging wirelessly and only slow charing with cable.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] veeroohre:
My new guess is it is due to the overheating problem with the update to Android 13.

A lot of people complain about the high temperature. Therefore the phone reduces the charging speed.

Maybe that's also the reason for the problem with the wireless charging. too much heat = no wireless charging. Just guessing...

ATM I rebooted my phone to safe mode. Let's see if this helps.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] veeroohre:
Somehow I solved the problem. I booted into safe mode. Then I clean the temp files with Google Files. And now my phone is charging with 2mA and above again. Also the temp of the battery is down to 36°. I still think that is the root cause.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Paz9:
Doubt this but I will try it and report back
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
well we know for one you dont need that

just a cable capable of the current and a charger that hits PPF standards

and even with/without official chargers it will only peak 21w

im using a £5 Gan charger and a USlion 2M long magnetic 60w cable that can do data aswell and it is doing 20w peak for me on A13 which is what it did on A12 aswell. Both which i bought before the official charger came out
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Paz9:
Nope, still charging like a piece of [crap, so,] not sure what Google did with A13 , I use official charger for fast charge, considerably slower than on A12

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] pr1nc3.raj:
I updated my pixel 5a to 13 stable. It's charging speed decreased a lot . Firstly it took around 1hr 50 min to get 100 now it's lotView attachment 5698345 more than 3hr. Gets lot of heating while charging.

Sometime it shows "6 hr to full charge" even at (30-40) battery level, and that's really bad .

After 13 Device is heating ( not just warm) so much even in normal uses (No gaming).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] lssong99:
My own testing found out as long as battery reach 41 degree C, the P6P will charge at 3.5W only... (While still displaying fast charging). It you put the phone in front of air conditioner vent to lower the temperature to 25 degrees C, then it charging at full 20W.

The P6P easily get into battery y 41 degrees C by just charging at room temperature higher then 32 degrees C. On A12 its pretty difficult to get this... Somehow A13 drive the CPU while charging which I suspect affect the heat dispatching. I used a charging wire with watterage display so its easily see how P6P limiting the charging wattage with temperature.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kondi10:
It was considerably slower for me too. I was in Spain, coming from UK, so had to use adapter. I thought it's the case, but it has also been something with temperatures, I couldn't backup the pictures because the system showed me it's too hot. I hope that was the issue.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sshriss:
I think it is a software problem. On my Oneplus 9Pro I noticed it after updating to 12 now I am on 13 with original charger. I noticed that sometimes the phone do not fast charge. When I disconnect and re-connect the cabe it start working, also it takes several seconds until the phone indicates it is fast charging. Thankfully when it detect the fast charge it is charging quite fast. I decided it is the cable or the port, but I recently downgraded to 11 and didn't had any issues. The fast charge was on all the time and the phone was detecting it immediately. However I upgraded again to 13 as I found ot better regardless the bugs :)

Edit 1/31/2023: Was able to get this sorted out. Explanation is on post #29.

Edited on 8/26/2022:

Cannot boot the phone into fastboot which I believe is because I turned off OEM unlocking then unrooted the phone. Now OEM unlocking is off and greyed out probably because the magisk safetynet fix module is gone. Deep testing app didn't help it just tells me to run fastboot flashing lock. Factory defaulting or flashing with the MSM tool didn't help either. Everything else works fine, the bootloader is still unlocked, recovery mode works and I can get into the system just cannot get into fastboot mode.

Edit 12/13: Was able to get the phone rooted again from fastbootD mode and turn OEM unlocking back on but this did not fix the main issue - fastboot still wont boot meaning I still cannot relock the bootloader.. The phone makes a short attempt then boots right back into the system. Tried flashing but bootloader was still unlocked after a full MSM flash and USB debugging was still turned on as well. Any suggestions?

[Realme GT 2 Pro] GIutton:
I think I figured out what I did wrong to end up here. I had it magisk rooted with the safetynet fix module and while messing with the phone I think I clicked off "OEM unlocking" in dev options then I uninstalled magisk without clicking it back on. Now "OEM unlocking" is turned off and is greyed out so I cant turn it back on. At least the bootloader is still unlocked but no matter what I do I cannot get into fastboot mode. Have already tried factory reset and flashing the stock rom back with the MSM tool and that did not work. So I need to find a way to root or temporarily root the phone without using fastboot, or somehow ungrey/turn back on "OEM unlocking," or find a way to replace the boot.img of the stock firmware with a magisk patched image then either use local system update, the MSM tool or QFIL to install it. Does someone have any ideas on how to do this?

Or is there a way to force the phone to go back to the inactive slot where I have a magisk patched boot image installed, as in mess up slot _b to force it back to slot _a? What if I were to flash with the MSM tool to slot _b but unplug the cable before it finished to mess it up, could that make the phone revert back to slot _a?
[Realme GT 2 Pro] zorbakun:
try using the testing apk used to unlock the bootloader, it may help you access fastboot again
[Realme GT 2 Pro] GIutton:
Right that was the first thing I tried. It just tells me to run "fastboot flashing lock" but can't access fastboot to do it. Will the MSM tool only work with an ofp file or is there a way to use it with extracted firmware?

-In addition to above, maybe you could extract it and replace boot.img with a patched one, and pack back up as update file. Although this may throw out a checksum error when attempting to install..
[Realme GT 2 Pro] GIutton:
When I run adb reboot bootloader the phone tries but then the screen glitches for a second then reboots into the system. I get the same result when I hold power and volume down buttons. Have tried factory defaulting from the settings menu and also tried wiping data from the recovery.

I do not have root access but the bootloader is unlocked. I tried using the exploit shared by Rapper_Skull to get temporary root access and it said it had worked but the magisk app does not recognize it as rooted and "adb shell su" is not recognized either. Rapper_Skull explained it was not within the scope of the exploit. Maybe it could be modified to do it somehow but that is beyond me.

I would love to try a local update with a patched boot image but I can't seem to find the proper OTA for my nv_id 10100110 MEA and because of the nv_id the Android 13 beta and rollback packages wont work either. Not too hopeful on this though as you said it will likely give a checksum error. From what I have read the MSM or QFIL tools should be able to do it, but would need to repack the ofp file with a patched boot for the MSM tool and nodoby has gotten QFIL to work that I have seen.

I will definitely read through the URLs you posted but turning on OEM unlocking from fastboot wont be an option for me since I can't get into it. In desperation I also scrolled through every single adb shell list settings <system/secure/global> output on this phone and my old OP 8T looking for a line item for OEM unlocking I could modify or add but alas there isn't one. Also tried talking to realme and they basically told me to go kick rocks because I am in the US so no support or warranty. They wouldn't even sell me a motherboard!

I have tried the MSM tool a couple times but it never worked. I am like 80% sure the tool kept flashing to active _b slot so I think my inactive _a slot should still contain my patched A.17 boot.img. I am very tempted to try flashing with the MSM tool again but unplugging the cable when it goes to clear/write the boot partition to mess it up. My thinking being that it would force the phone back onto slot _a just like it would do if an update fails, but that just sounds like such a dumb idea that it couldn't possibly work lol. Even if I do it and mess something up I should still be able to flash it with MSM again to fix it right? EDIT: Never mind my active slot is _a. When I took the A.18 update it went into slot _b meaning A.17 with my patched boot was on slot _a so the MSM tool must have been writing to the inactive slot and I only paid attention on the second flash to slot _b.

Try this

1. Run: adb shell pm disable-user com.qualcomm.qti.uim

2. Go to Developer Options and flip the OEM Unlock toggle

3. Now run: adb shell pm enable com.qualcomm.qti.uim

4. From now on the toggle will be disabled again, but now in "on" mode

5. Reboot to fastboot
[Realme GT 2 Pro] GIutton:
I gave it a try but OEM unlocking remained greyed out.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] Quake94:
From what I seen you should try pressing OEM unlock toggle with the qualcomm service disabled, despite ithe toggle being greyed out, have you tried that?

I found this method in OnePlus forums, since OnePlus/Oppo/Realme it's all the same.
