T-Mobile temporary unlock?

Hey everyone,

I have a promotion on my phone right now that is preventing me from unlocking my pixel to put GOS on. I can’t unlock it until I pay it off.

I also noticed an option on T-Mobile in the US to temporarily unlock the device. Obviously this would be a loophole but my question is this:

Has anyone used the temporary unlock and been able to then OEM unlock the phone to install graphene?

Bootloader unlock and network unlock are two different things. Temporary unlock likely just network unlocks the device so you can use a foreign SIM when traveling. You can try the temporary unlock, but I wouldn’t expect it to work to install GOS

Yeah I figured it would be something like that…just curious. Thanks!
