Unlock tools FAQ

What is the difference between server unlock and code unlock?

Server unlock is processed remotely through a provider database, while code unlock relies on model-specific code generation when available.

Do I need an IMEI check before unlocking?

Yes. An IMEI pre-check helps validate eligibility, lock status, and device details before you submit an unlock order.
