How can i unlock my note 8 that is locked by O2 Uk??
hi guys!
sorry, we cannot help you unlock your 02 Note 8. You should find the third party service provider or contact your carrier to unlock your phone.
Ooo, so this tool z3x cannot help to unlock it…Thanks anyway.
I dont see OEM Unlock option under developer options
This bricked my phone.
if your phone is bricked, try to flash the stock ROM again with Odin
I also do not have the oem option on my phone so now what do I do
My phone appears to be working. My phone does, however, appear to be “roaming” at all times and I cannot get my data to work. Is this normal?
I really do not understand how to do this. Can you help me?
That’s flashing the unlock file using Z3x Tool. But your device must be running on Android 7 Nougat
will this work on N950USQS2BQL9? Has anyone had success?
I’m not sure Angelo, but you need to have Z3X Pro Tool or Z3X box to get things done! Thanks
Do you have unlock method for Sprint Note 8 running v5 bootloader (N950U1UES5CRH7) C arrier will not unlock and prefer to learn how to perform the unlock rather than relying on remote service.
Thanks
The current bootloader of your phone is too high. Sorry, we have not had any solution yet.
I unlocked my Note 8 N950U BIT 5 using UnlockBoot – they did it in 30 min.
Congratulation!
