Dear User,

We have 2 solutions to read the network lock codes from this device:
1. EUB mode: This method does not require root, and it can be accessed from EUB mode, via shorting test points.
2. ADB mode: This method DOES require the phone to be rooted, however you only have to enable ADB mode to access it.

Please note, that you can only root the phone after the bootloader was successfully unlocked!
