Hi,
I just bought a Sony Xperia X10 (orange phone). I am trying to get the phone to work on Vodafone Ireland.
I got the unlocking codes on a site. tried them the phone seemed to unlock.
When I power the device up it asks me to enter my pin as normal. Then I am propmted to enter a Network unlock pin. I have tried entering the Unlock code, my PIN, my unblock code. It keeps telling me that pin is wrong & for me to contact my network operator.
When using an orange SIM, phone works ok.
I presumed that the unlock code was wrong so I went to a shop to get the unlock code & they supplied me with code I got over the net.
Any one have this problem, or now to resolve it. I have all providers and repsonse are as follows:
Orange: You are not existing customer.... Cant help you
Vodafone Ireland: Contact orange or go to a shop to get it unlocked.
Internet site: Still awaiting reply
Any one got any ideas or solutions.
Thanks
what is the exact message that you get when you enter the unlocking code:
1- Wrong Code
Or
2- Sim Locked, Contact Opertor.
??!
If the phone tells you to contact the operator it means that the wrong unlock code was entered for more than 5 times... so maybe the guy you bought it from entered some unlock codes for fun?
The phone is now blocked and the right unlock code won't help you anymore... I have the same problem and as far as I know the only possibility is to go to the operator who locked the phone, in your case Orange. I'm sure they will help you, but they won't do it for free of course
same problem here but i buy from AT&T any unlocker avelable please help
Call att. I have never had a problem with them telling me the correct way to reset the phone for free and get the pulk code. I have read other posts that if you've had the phone for six months they will tell you the unlock code.

I unlocked my X10 bootloader when it was released, since then i've realised I still had credits in my davinci account, so I thought I'd have a crack at sim unlocking it.
The question I have is, will this brick my device if flash the 2.1 software back, perform the unlock and then flash back to cm7?
Maybe no-one has tried it yet, but I'm looking for a sensible answer with some evidence to back it up.
Cheers ppl

OK, So yes I can sim unlock it with davinci, But now I'm back to having a locked bootloader which is probably because it rewrote s1_boot in doing the sim unlock.
Soooo, now I can use another network sim which is my main priority as i just switched contracts.
But I'd like to have an unlocked bootloader so i'm not crippled and can go back to FXP and not SE GB.
I know I could unlock the bootloader and not have network access but that defeats the object of having it sim unlocked.
Looking back, There are a few things that would make this a lot easier....
Hi!
I had the same problem.
I was able to unlock bootloader and running Linuxdx+GingerDX.
Then i wanted to unlock my phone, did it with davinci app and worked all just fine, but after trying unlock my bootloader again the sime network crashes.
I have tried both choices on my phone both semc unlock and seetool unlock.
The same problem.
Only way to rescue my bricked phone is to make a "new" unlock again.
Now i have paid a unlock a couple of times so i dont dare to try unlock bootloader again.
Well i really like LinuxDX+GingerDX.
I beleuve that i am stock with STOCK kernel and GingerDX until a solution is here...

hi all
i got my x10 mini from a friend. he said that when he bought it, it was sim locked. so he unlocked the phone.
if i unlock the bootloader it will restore the original sim lock of the phone?
if yes, there is any free way of sim unlocking x10 mini?
It depends on how he unlocked the phone,

the tutorials say that if the output from S1tool is
"SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader can be unlocked
"NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader cannot be unlocked
i have "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" and i know i can unlock my bootloader
but my question is:
after unlock it, will still restore the original sim lock?
Or for other word:
does the S1tool output refers to the possibility of unlocking the bootloader, or refers to the restore of the original?
i don't know if i can really help cause i not really a expert, but i think what they say with
"SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader can be unlocked
is if you have the semc simlock it will still be sim unlocked.
not really sure about it.
mine was SEMC SIMLOCK and after the bootloader was unloloked, the sim unlock was still working fine.

was your phone original unlocked?
yes it was, havent really tought about it.
really dont know if its the same thing
Well, I never used a locked phone, but the linked post says:
if your phone unlocked by setool2 software, use msm7227_setool2.cmd
if your phone unlocked by 3rd-party software other than setool2, do not run anything -
it will disable radio capability of your phone and you will need to unlock phone by setool2 software.

What I understand from the text is that if he unlocked the phone using anything different from setool2, it will disable the radio, but that it can be restored afterwards by using setool2.
Edit: not sure however why "do not run anything" would be in bold if it could be reverted afterwards

Because the simunlock to restore radio with setool does cost money

i think my phone was not unlocked by setool because i have the "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" output in S1tool
According to the unlocking bootloader guide post (here):
5. If you had
1: the SEMC SIMLOCK CERTFICATE message or if you
2: unlocked your phone using EMMA/IMEI code
3: or if your phone was already unlocked when you bought it (first-hand phone)
4: or if your phone is sim-locked, or if...
THEN
run msm7227_semc.cmd in the directory you unzipped the unlocking files to and press any key to start the unlocking process
So i know i can unlock my bootloader
My question is if i will loose the sim network unlock and the phone will revert to sim locked?
no one knows?
i guess i will try it anyway
hi all, about NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
Can i work around this to get those custom room into my phone
a1exander's M1U1 1.11.4 or cyan cm 7.1.0
as its always looses radio signal after unlocking the bootloader
can it be done
anyone who knows how to around this
your phone's sim-unlock was done using non-official methods.... you need to use SETOOL2 sim-unlock service or I had mine done through HTCCODE about a 2 years ago, that was a SEMC unlock and I unlocked bootloader using SEMC unlock program from the_laser. I think the_laser who posted the original bootloader unlock thread operates an SETOOL2 unlock service.
Anyways, you just need to get your phone sim-unlocked (or locked??) again the right way.
well i got my phone radio signal back....with unlock client software
about this issue (NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE MAYBE YOU SHOULD UNLOCK PHONE BY SETOOL2)
My phone was factory unlocked...what can i do to unlock the bootloader
without loosing radio signal, do i need to buy new phone or can i make someone
to change the phone for me....???
anyone with the same problem as i have?
I have the same problem on my X10
"Bootloader unlock allowed: no", but on a phone that was previously unlocked??
Hi all,
I have a Z5C and I unlocked it in the past. At the time I needed online banking and got annoyed with not being able to hide the fact my phone was rooted, so I restored stock Android 7.1.1 onto it.
I came back to this after a year or two and thought that I could just root the phone again. Lo and behold, it now says the bootloader cannot be unlocked and everyone says that means it's the end and nothing can be done.
Is that true? Is it possible to unlock the bootloader, but then permanently re-lock it somehow? That seems really strange to me, but perhaps that's what happened. Anyone else have any input on whether this can be reverted somehow?
Thanks,
