              @spy: Quiet confusing I went to this optus site

              Https://Secure-unlock.com.au/ou/launch and provide d the IMEI of the Oppo A72 and the message I received is the device not locked to optus.

              I assume it may have been restricted by Oppo, may be need to contact Oppo to get the code

              @spy: Nah, if you have an optus number it will be handy as they ask for that and your name (otherwise just try with no optus number). Tell them you tried the optus unlock site and it says its unlocked, so you just need the code. Just be patient with them, as they arent very good at what they do

    got the moto g8 for $75 and samsung A21s for $85 as a kids gift and paid with Afterpay card to get another $20 off. haven't opened them shall wait a bit to see if prices drop first so i can return one or both. will i lose the $20 afterpay discount if i return a phone unopened even though i spent more than $100 with other goods? Is the G8 micro usb and the A21s has only 3GB ram , 32gb storage no NFC ? Now regretting that i didn't get the Realme C3 which maybe is a better all round performer and more snappy?

        "Download the rom from provided link to the phone and install through recovery mode"

        Does this mean you copy the rom on to your phone, then hold power + up volume (or something like that) to get to the android menu, and then chose your rom to install from there?

      There's no USB-A chargers in existence that can provide 60W so while it claims it can do it reality most certainly disagrees.

    Glendale NSW 2285 have Realme C3's and Oppo A72's plus others as of 1.30pm 24/4. Their online stock shows nil so best to call.

  • tunzafun001 on 24/04/2021 - 16:05

    So the A72 is a better deal than the C3? (I sim swap through all networks). My local target has both even though online says sold out.

    • Cheeper on 24/04/2021 - 16:11
      +1

      Got one of each. The C3 is a brilliant phone but the A72 is miles better but the sim tray has the second sim hole blocked.
      For the $25 difference go the A72.
      I tried a Voda/Kogan sim in both and the A72 recognised it no problem but the C3 just said it is network locked.
      Not saying all the A72's are unlocked, I may have been lucky.
      You can do a side by side comparison of the phone specs on many sites… google it .. :-)

  • coolsteps on 25/04/2021 - 00:47

    can someone confirm if the specs for the Optus a21s are the same as the unlocked A21s sold at Target? Big W and HN unlocked A21s specs are different . much better 6gb ram and 128 ROM.

  • coolsteps on 25/04/2021 - 10:42

    i had a cashrewards offer spend $20 get $5 that ended last night and an Afterpay referral credit of $30 and the target newsletter credit $10 so i added my flybuys number and combined all offers to order online the Realme C3. It should come down to under $20 after all the discounts and cashback. hopefully they will have stock and ill be able to collect it instore and order wont get cancelled. Now have to decide which out of the 3 purchased this week has the best specs and overall performance? Would it be correct to rank in this order : first place C3, A21s and in last place Moto G8 power lite?

  • ow on 25/04/2021 - 12:54

      Yeah, it takes you to the same site mentioned below:
      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/618585#comment-10373082

      Doesn't work and its just an endless loop of surveys

      I also tried to use the unlock code generator for the realme c3 which is mentioned here
      https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oppo-a52-a72-a92-android-…

      I managed to successfully generate an unlock code, but it appears to only.. make the phone pass decryptassistant (realme c3's menu is accessible by typing in *#9434#)
      If you want to use the Unlock Tool thingo, you need to disable almost all network adapters, apart from the "Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter" and your WiFi - the unlock tool NEEDS internet to handshake with some Oppo server apparently

      I managed to change my optus realme c3's region to "Multilingual Version Ex" and the Optus Realme c3 wouldn't accept a Kogan sim card (keeps asking for unlock code) and also I couldn't use the realme c3's DeepTest apk (which is their official bootloader unlocker tool after enabling developer options>OEM unlock) as it keeps returning "This is a carrier-customized phone" even after changing region..

      • TheTaxMan on 27/04/2021 - 08:56

        I have done that and was able to unlock the bootloader with the deep test apk. I tried a lot of the apks online through many sites and one finally work (the phone was wiped since I was able to root it so I won't be able to help you with the apk file). Did you try the other sim tray to see if it works with other networks?

        I haven't tried using other sims in it so I can't vouch that it will work outside Optus network but at least I got it rooted. I also bootlooped my phone when I tried to follow people who post their guides on xda on how to root with TWRP. Youtube saved my phone from that bootloop and helped me root it as well (and went the easy way which is not with TWRP). Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYRY_jRTSNI and he also has the link to fix if you do bootloop your phone and can vouch it works.

          All good, I gave up on working on the realme c3 and offloaded to an older family member already.

          Did you try the other sim tray to see if it works with other networks?

          Nope, I managed to change regions, but the deeptest APK kept rejecting the phone

          I have done that and was able to unlock the bootloader with the deep test apk.

            @cwongtech: It's the Optus one I bought from this deal. Got it for $65 with the $10 off voucher.

            I had 10 different apks of the deep test. All had the same size and version but only one installed. Either I was lucky or there had to be some time elapsed before it works? Really not sure but was glad that it finally worked when it did.

            If anyone asks, I don't know if the unlock I did actually worked. I just needed a rooted phone even without Sim so I haven't tried any Sim.

              First deeptest apk I had was for all models, that didn't want to install, and the second deeptest was for a realme c3, but from some mediafire link

              Too bad I've already offloaded the phone, otherwise I would have been very keen to try again!

                    It was also extremely slow even after factory resets and with a custom lineage rom. I guess phones are just getting faster and faster and all the old ones feel slow. I remember when the tab was one of the fast ones in its day.

      Hi mate, I saw your question before the edit. You are going to hate this, but the IMEI is also printed on top of the box!
      As for entering the unlock code, place a different carrier sim card, in and I ALWAYS put it in flight mode, then restart.
      Many times the unlock code fails when not in flight mode (no idea why, just works).

      • USER DC on 30/04/2021 - 12:30

        If anyone has managed to unlock one of these, can they please share how they were able to using the Optus unlock code??
        Like wifi on off, airplane mode on/off, Must have a sim in the device or no, must have an optus sim in device, must have non optus sim in device, or like how ???

          Try this

          The unlock process will work with or without a SIM card in the phone. Make sure you followed these steps to unlock:

          1. Ensure the device is connected to internet via Wi-Fi.

          2. On the number pad, dial *#475838912# to open the Unlock Window and press “Ignore”.

          3. Enter the 16-digit unlocking code in exact form and once complete, press “Unlock”.

          4. If unlock code is correct, device will display “Unlock Successful” and device will reboot automatically.

              Express postage to them sent yesterday, received by Realme today, Unlocked today, they said to ship it back to me today or by tomorrow. Realme had to pay 2x Postage charges for such a simple thing, they should charge Optus for misspelling the unlock code. I paid nothing to them.

              I had already like confirmed with Optus if both characters were small L or capital i like 10 times, they kept saying it both small to be L.

              Just hoping they ship the phone back to me the same way i sent them (WHICH WAS INCLUDING EVERYTHING, OPTUS SIM, PLASTIC WRAPPING, CABLE, CHARGER ETC and what not.

            @chadiwrx: if unlock code incorrect device will display "Unlock Failed"

    can anyone confirm if the Optus target a21s phone has wireless charging or not? google suggests so but it doesn't work for me so i suspect its the more expensive or overseas models do. also has anyone tried to cut out the plastic filled in the dual sim slot holder with a stanely blade to see it the second sim slot is detected or works?

      I have seen those blanked out trays on other phones an cutting them out dors not work.
      You need to buy another sim tray.
      Even then there is no guarantee it will work.
      If the phone setup/about phone only shows one imei then you are out of luck.

      the reply to this comment from @xywolap confirm the updates causing it to locked

    • USER DC on 08/05/2021 - 18:19

      Mine got locked I didn't even update the phone, the update got downloaded however,

      There was no way to not download the update.
      It's just so annoying BLOODY OPPO software.

      Other than by turning of internet which is kinda necessary

      • Cynicaloflife on 13/05/2021 - 12:02

        I think it downloaded on mine too. But I told my mum to stay away for installing it for at least 6 months.

        • USER DC on 13/05/2021 - 16:42
