Help Unlocking phone with root

Farcrydud

Newbie
I have a huawei P7-L09 that comes from china that I rooted. I've been wanting to use it as a phone but I need to unlocking so I wanted to know if it's possible to unlock it with root?
 
Hi

If you mean carrier unlock, then I think not. That would still need the carrier's unlock code from somewhere. Your best options are probably to use services such as Viber, Hangouts, Whatsapp using data/wifi. (which of course need the other party to have the app)
 
Huawei Ascend P7-L09 is definitely a China phone. Phones sold and intended for use in China are not usually locked at all. But the problem might be worse than that, and possibly not resolvable. Are you in the USA or Canada, and who's your carrier?

EDIT:


Worse: I don't think this thing is going to work with any carrier but China Telecom! And that's presumably who supplied it in the first place.

...and TD mode LTE is really only used in some countries in Asia, like China.
