How to unlock fold 3?

[uncreativeartist]

I have been searching in the forums on how to unlock my Fold3 at&t. I just want all this at&t crap off my phone. I don't need non-deleteable phone numbers and other garbage on my phone.

Check out this, but look into it some more before just diving in and removing stuff.

It's really not as complicated as it might look lol. As long as you research enough about apps you want to remove and if/how it will affect your phone, and what they do/are there for before removing. Google and xda forums are good for that.

Yeah if you saw my attempt at doing something art-like you would either have nightmares or laugh.

Cannot find firmware for ATT, time to search deeper.

Att firmware are hard to find or get I would use TMB or Verizon hey all interchangable

I will look into that seems odd to put verizon into an att phone.

They all interchangable the only thing if one gets on a different bootloader instead of OtA u have to flash the next update the same way until they go on same bootloader, I have done this countless times on all Samsung I've owned

^^ this. Dont get all boggled down into this unless you want to learn how to flash firmware... Im on AT&T and once you dive down into the settings you can easily just shut this crapware off with zero issues. I wouldnt worry about "unlocking" it unless you want to sell it...

Yeah most can be disabled or using package disabler pro , can go to unlock firmware which no worries for any carrier stuff.
