[Google Pixel 7 Pro] randallflagg34:
I live in Paraguay and I bought my Pixel 7 Pro from Amazon Renewed, I thought that since the phone is super new this phone will work fine, which is true except for the Verizon part.

The box from the seller said that sometimes the phones can tell you that the SIM wasn't supported, but with an update, everything will be OK and working smoothly.

I connect my Old Phone to the new one, let it update, and everything looked like it could work, except the SIM card.

I had the notification saying: "SIM Card isn't supported, Ask Verizon if the device can be unlocked. Tap here for contact details."

I tried every possible way to make it work but wasn't able. I tried updating the Android, ADB Shell, and Bootloader, and nothing.

I contacted Verizon and after talking for ages with them, after checking my IMEI they told me the phone IS in fact unblocked.

Verizon and the Seller of the phone told me that maybe my carrier didn't support the phone. That wasn't true because when I do a factory reset of the phone and activated it completely offline, my phone picks up 4G LTE from my carrier TIGO from Paraguay, but as soon it connected via my SIM card internet, I got the same notification: SIM card isn't supported.

Funny enough, with the Factory Reset of the phone and turning off the Mobile Data from my SIM card I was able to make a phone call with no problem at all, so it's not a problem from my carrier.

But IT'S SEEMS is not a Verizon problem either.

Is the phone (android) problem maybe? I have NO IDEA how to go about this problem. Can you help me?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Sounds like that phone is SIM locked. If you asked them if it's blocked, that could mean they checked the blacklist to see if it was a stolen device, not the SIM lock status.

Contact Amazon and start the return process because as you're not the original owner, they won't just unlock the phone for you. Also, the Verizon model is not the one you want anyway, it's permanently bootloader locked.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] randallflagg34:
Yeah, I thought so!

I'm just trying to make it work since I already have the phone, but it seems I don't have much luck :(
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tensux:
Verizon in the USA is moving to e-sim only. we had a couple phones at work where we needed to take out a sim they supplied and use the e-sim
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
It could be that you need a new sim card. You could ask Verizon to send you new sim card and see if that works.

However from the message that you said the phone is giving you it really sounds like the device is sim locked to another carrier. I would return it to Amazon right away. If you want to try another renewed device I would try to contact the seller and tell them of the problem you had and that they have to make sure to send you an unlocked device.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] randallflagg34:
Actually, I'm not a Verizon customer, I don't even live in the US, so I cannot have Verizon as my carrier.

I don't know, I wanted to ask for help, so maybe tomorrow, someone can read a solution here like I always did!

Like this video helped ton of people:

(but didn't worked for me)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
I guess I am confused by your post. Why would you call Verizon on the first place if they are not your carrier? Unless you found that the device is a locked Verizon phone. If it is sim locked to Verizon then only Verizon can unlock it. If Verizon said it was unlocked but it was at one point locked to Verizon then it may have not been properly unlocked by the original owner. It could also be that the sim unlock by previous owner didn't completely work. Either way you are going to be out of luck trying to unlock it yourself.

I went through unlock hell with t mobile with a device that I paid for and was eligible to be unlocked but because I didn't buy the phone through T-Mobile they couldn't unlock it.

I would highly suggest that you return it unless you know for a fact that it is an unlocked phone and always was an unlocked phone.

I wish I could help or give some other advice but it would be worse if you tinkered with the device and couldn't return it and ended up in the same position. Best to return it as quickly as you can. Get your money back. Then try again, try to get a new unlocked Pixel if possible another way?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] randallflagg34:
I called Verizon because the phone said to talk to them, so yeah, like you said, it was SIM locked by them!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] shiftr182:
If it was supposed to be an "unlocked" phone that you purchased, I would send it back. Amazon should not have sent you a Verizon phone if it was supposed to be unlocked.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] randallflagg34:
Yes, I ended up doing that today!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] un1ocked:
i have the same issue, meanwhile please do this

factory reset, set up the phone offline, then

enable android debugging

Hey, thanks!!! Did that, but it didn't worked. I got an error and wouldn't work :(

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] SubwayChamp:
Go here https://www.imeipro.info/check_lg.html and check IMEI, you'll find some fact to get the best vision on that, and for both, and always, be sure to upload some images/SS from your issue, to better figure it out some try, avoid some sensitive data like IMEI, just cover it.

By the way, what does this command is supposed to do? I have checked my P2XL, and it appears as a VRX version not VRZ, then, not sure if it was from VZN at some time, but It doesn't let me unlock the bootloader, I got the OEM unlock to toggled, but I can't unlock it anyway. I have no problem with calls, though.

[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] SylVestrini:
Got a Poco M4 Pro 4G about a week ago, after initial set up stock rom updated to 13.0.1 (SKEEUXM). I see there are newer versions but several days later no update is available?

I am desperately looking to update or even downgrade due to a poor light sensor performance - in low ambient light and with auto brightness enabled the screen gets way too dark (sensor goes to 0 lux, when in reality it is not that dark). In a well lit environment it works adequately. Someone mentioned in another forum that after updating, they got rid of the issue.
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] aricooperdavis:
That (V13.0.1.0.SKEEUXM) is currently the most up-to-date Android 12 firmware for the EEA. I think you could switch back to Android 11 (and a more recent firmware update) manually by unlocking the bootloader and flashing a fastboot package, but it's pretty hands on. Otherwise all you can do is wait for Xiaomi to update their A12 firmware.
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] SylVestrini:
Thanks mate, that means my updater is working fine then. I am tempted to go down to android 11 and a more recent firmware really, the sensor is acting terribly on the current one but it's still blind hope that would resolve it.
[Redmi Note 11S 4G / POCO M4 Pro 4G (fleur)] couleurastas:
No , it is not true. The last update for EEA is

V13.0.10 RKEEUXM...

Sorry i didnt see. Yes you are right. With Android 12.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] unluckyuser:
I have a redmi 4x and could never unlock the bootloader by any means. I tried all methods I found, and I can't even get the unocking permission in the "Mi Unlock Status" in developer options.

Recently, I strumbled upon this method that, according to the author, works in all devices using a MSM89xx CPU, and the redmi 4x has a MSM8940. The method consists of entering EDL mode and taking advantege of an exploit to send a modified file to the devinfo partition, as the author explains in the link above. They even created a tool for it.

However, It's required to have a patched mbn file in order to do that.

Does anyone know if this method was previously used with this device and if there's already a patched file available? If not, does anyone know how I could proceed to create one?

Thanks in advance.

No this method doesn't work for the 4X, i checked the devinfo partition before and after unlocking, in this phone it's adding some information which seems to be generated off the device's serial number

unless someone can crack how xiaomi is generating the code, we're stuck with unlocking the official way onlyView attachment 5922641
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] unluckyuser:
That's the kind of thing I was afraid of. Thank you for pointing out.

Unfortunately, I found no carrier service around here that allows me to send the required international sms messages in order to use the official method, so I'm stuck. After almost a year trying, I even got desperate and messed up the phone trying some shady software to unlock it. Now I'm done for, never getting near xiaomi anymore.

I find it sad, because this model has a nice hardware and was all I could afford, but it will have to be underused, because I can't install newer software on it. Such a waste, in every aspect of the word.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] slabs37:
Yeah i feel you.

I got a mi 5 plus sitting on a shelf because i don't have access to the mi account in any way, that phone also gets data from the SN from xiaomi to unlock which i couldn't figure out sadly.

Xiaomi's hardware and custom rom support is great, it's just this unlocking process which is the worst part :(

Just in case, have you tried setting a proxy for your mobile data or connecting to a chinese vpn and unlocking?

Do I Need A Vpn To Unlock The Bootloader?

Hi, i purchased a Xiaomi Redmi 4x and i want to unlock my bootloader so i can install the xiaomi.eu rom in it. I tried to follow all the steps and after i enter my mobile number it gives me a message in chinese about my IP (that one that says that the IP is blocked). As i understood after...

https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-install-twrp-without-bootloader-unlocking.3862454/
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] slabs37:
I doubt that'll work honestly.

iirc from trying stuff out in edl mode on the 5 plus, any changes i made to the boot.img partition caused it to say "system destroyed", but i don't remember what happened if i pushed twrp into the recovery partition, i imagine the official recovery is signed and since twrp isn't, it won't boot up.

Altho even if twrp does boot, installing a custom rom is sadly still out of the question since the kernel (boot partition) needs to be signed for it to boot up.

Suffice to say i'm not really sure, i think if need be i can test it out, back up all my phone's partitions and then lock the bootloader and try to install twrp and a custom rom, but it'll be a hassle.

You should be trying to unlock the official way first in any way

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
I patched the boot.img file from the new Android 13 stock with Magisk 25.2. How do I relace the boot.img in the original AP tar file with the modified one? When I try to add it to AP I get an error saying there additional data at the end of the archive, which I assume is the md5 data.

edit: I installed TWRP and booted into it with no problem. But when I then booted system, powered off and boot back to recovery, it was gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] V0latyle:
Is TWRP available for your device? If yes, use TWRP to flash the boot image to /boot.

Even better, just leave the boot image alone and flash Magisk in TWRP.

If TWRP is not available, try this as it should allow you to use fastboot command line to directly flash the boot image.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] lewmur:
I edited my original post to say I flashed TWRP and booted into it but the patched file was in internal encrypted storage and TWRP couldn't access it. So I booted back to system and moved the patch to SD. But when I booted back to recovery, TWRP was gone. In desperation, I flashed TWRP again and then used it to flash the patched boot. IT WORKED!!! I now have root and it retained TWRP. Don't know why it was overwritten the first time as I made sure to boot to it before booting system.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] V0latyle:
Yeah, Vaultkeeper was the problem. Magisk dynamically disables this during boot; otherwise, after flashing TWRP, you should generally flash the Multidisabler and wipe data before continuing. Among other things, Vaultkeeper will automatically replace unsigned images with the stock images, even if the bootloader is unlocked.

Glad to know you got rooted, though!
