[Q] Desperately need help getting unlock code for SIM. I have no idea what I'm doing. topic

Ok, so, here's my research progress so far:
1. My phone is locked to T-Mobile.
2. My friend wants to use it with her At&t SIM
3. Requires unlock code.
4. Call T-Mobile to ask, they tell me I have to ask Walmart Family Mobile cause that's where I got the prepaid SIM for the phone.
5. Last time I used the Family Mobile was like, 2 years ago. I called and they said I'd be eligible for the unlock code if I paid my back dues. They totaled around 9 (no thanks).
6. Try to use the two actually free services online that provide the unlock code if you provide the MEI (waded through leagues of "FREE! but actually pay ").
7. Internet says something about unlock code being in a BAK file or something, requires rooting.
8. Rooted, installed Cyanogenmod.
9. A couple forums say something about doing ESF backup and doing some copypaste with a file in the backup.
10. Tried like 3 different ESF backup apps/programs, everytime I still can't find ESF folder/files anywhere with my computer.

Please help, I've been wondering a maze for the past 6 hours.

[Q] Smartwatch doing things by itself topic

Hey everyone, first time poster here.
I've bought a Sony Smartwatch 3 after the contacts on my LG G watch broke, but I'm noticing a problem that's been happening on both watches.

I can be doing anything with it, or just having it resting on the desk in front of me, and all of a sudden it'll wake itself and then start scrolling up and down randomly and going into random apps. sometimes even calling people who text me. (you can imagine trying to fight with said watch while it goes about calling every text)
And that's another thing, I have to sit there attempting to reassert my touch control over some phantom user by polishing the screen with my finger.

How do I stop this from happening? I've tried turning off the tilt to wake, nothing. And I can't seem to physically lock the touchscreen with the side button like you'd expect. I can still unlock by double tapping (a function I'd like to disable) and the thing starts off all over again.

Is it something to do with static or is the unit just faulty?

P7 stuck in loop while doing a ROM update topic

Hi,

My P7 is stuck in a loop while doing a ROM update. I suspect that the UPDATE.APP was not written correctly, so the phone is rebooting to retry the update continuously.

I've flashed CWM and TWRP recoveries, but the phone still boot loops and tries to run the update.

Is there anyway of stopping the phone from trying to update, or can anyone send me a full filesystem dump that I can flash?

Thanks!
