Hello, I just buyed sony ericsson xperia x10 from rogers(canada)...but i wanna put fido sim in it......so anyone can help me to unlock my cellphone for free.....by using any method.......code or flashing........
Best Regards
SHIN
No unlock hack has been achieved yet, you will need an unlock code which generally costs money.
$6 bucks unlock for the Rogers X10a http://www.mobileincanada.com/?l=en&u=all&coupon=facebook
Don't fido sims already work in Rogers' phones and visa versa??
Nope. Rogers is Rogers, Fido is Fido. Not the same..
When i ordered it I thought Rogers own fido and may be fido sim gonna work on it.....but after doing some google i found that it should be unlocked......
I bought a Rogers LOCKED X10a recently thinking I can buy the unlock code to unlock the phone and use on AT&T. Unfortunately, all 5 places I tried who claim to unlock Rogers branded phones refunded my payment saying they could not find unlock code for my phone.
I am wondering why my phone still has no unlock code. Does it take a while to get the unlock codes to these vendors for new X10a?
I tried much unlock webstore too... and i found one who give me an Manufacturer's Code (not an operator CODE).... it match for any operator !!!
http://www.deblocage-sony.com/EN/unlocking+SonyEricsson+Xperia-X10.php
But it's very expensive : 39€ ($53.99 CAD)
I use the NCK code :
fill your target SIMcard in your X10
Fill your SIMcard PIN CODE
Fill the NCK CODE
reboot
> Your X10 must be unlocked for ever, for any provider..

+1 to this.. I am in the same boat as you are...
Tried many different places and all result with "Code not found" or "Code not available". I am waiting for the other place to get me the manufacture code and hopefully it will work. Of course.. the unlock service cost more ...

Let me know if that works. I am anyway thinking to sell the black X10a as I prefer the white version. I might as well get it unlocked before selling to get decent price.

I prefer white version myself, too...
Got my phone unlocked, but the cost of unlocking might not be able to justify when you sell it ... If you are going to sell it, either sell it locked or just keep it and use it.. OR buy a white case from deal extreme for $28USD

After I got my black X10a from rogers Canada for under $5 the code was sent to me and worked perfectly. Just search on ebay unlock by code rogers xperia x10. The seller with the red icon Rogers unlock code works every time plus if something doesn't work you covered by paypal.
Just make sure you write IMEI number correctly.

+1 from me too. Mobileincanada delivered a working code to me within an hour.
but now im nervous because of these reports. I have to send mine in to rogers and will be getting a replacement, and will have to get the new one unlocked again.
I tried all these unlockers and everyone refunded my money saying they don't have unlock code yet for my Rogers branded X10a Black.
Here are the places I tried:
MykleCell Inc.
MobileInCanada.com
www.primomobile.net
Cellunlocker.net
Swift Unlocks
I don't want to try the expensive places yet as I am receiving an unlocked X10a in white now which I prefer over black. I will wait a week or so to see if any of these $5 unlock places can find a code.
I know this is offtopic but does anyone know if unlocking voids warranty with Rogers?
I know what the reps say but I'm curious if anyone has experience with this.

I got an X10a last week locked to the at&t network and have been trying with 0 sucess to get it unlocked. I've tried everywhere online, no one can do it. Anyone know why the unlock servers are down? Was it a crackdown from SE? I paid $40 to htccode.com and they haven't refunded my money or been much help. I tried MobileInCanada.com for IMEI remote unlock, they said they couldn't do it and refunded my money. I used my friends att account to call them and ask for the code, and they put the IMEI in their system and got a message that the phone is an at&t exclusive and don't have th unlock code for it. I don't get it. This isn't an iPhone, it's an Android phone that's been out for almost a year. The admin on the setool.net forums where the unlock server is held has been very vague about it ever coming back online. He always just says "maybe 1 week, 1 month, maybe never"
What's the deal?
Did you try these - http://www1.davinciteam.com/index.html
I checked them out. they only do Flah/Debranding. They don't unlock Android devices.
I wonder if I should track down a Turbo Sim and try that...

They answered (Nov 12):
> via cable 28 usd not availble at moment as servers blocked for unknown time.
> we can do via code only at moment,. 39 usd
Since your ATT claimed they don't have this code at all, the code can be from manufacturer only that can be more expensive, than $39
I have similar problem, but mine is locked to T-Mobile UK. I am a T-Mobile US customer. TMO UK customer service has standard procedure - they can send unlock code for 15 GPB (around $24), but they provide this service to current TMO UK customers only and send the code by regular mail, so this customer should have street address. So I am stuck too.

Yeah, I know. I get free service from T-Mo because my wife works for them. I like the x10 better then any of their Android phone so I can deal with EDGE+WiFi.
By the way, I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent trouble unlocking...

I like Ericsson and Sony Ericsson - their flagships usually have almost no errors and work pretty long. In addition, Ericsson is one of the main manufacturers of infrastructure equipment for mobile communications, so they can plan better handset design. And ergonomics - interface and no restriction to use third-party programs. I never had any problems with phone book copy from old handset to new one.
I read this article already and posted link in one of threads of this forum. I was almost sure that all unlocking business works through insiders and this article confirms this. It is pretty possible that this is the end of all unlocking business in form that we knew it. Maybe that pushes forward cracking the lock itself.
I paid 5 bucks on ebay, worked fine

Hi,
I need a little help and direction.. I bought an ATT branded Xperia X10a 2 months back by paying in full (400USD + tax). Used it for the time with ATT pay and go sim and upgraded it to 2.1 X10i (was at 1.6 X10a). Now, I want to move to other service provider and so i want a carrier unlock.
What is the best way here? Should I call ATT (i dont have an account with them, so it has been difficult to get through the crappy customer service calls)?? Or should I contact Sony Ericsson? Or a third party vendor?

You can buy a unlock code, calculated by IMEI, google for "x10 unlock code"
by the way, it is not cheap

Thanks, as per your suggestion, i tried out some of the unlocker sites like unlocking.com and cellunlocker.net. Both refunded my money back saying they dont have a unlock for me. Mobileincanada cannot do it too, since they dont have an unlock for ATT devices only Rogers.
I am not sure what should be the next step.

because Sony Ericsson's unlock codes are not IMEI based, they are randomly generated. you have to have direct access to their database.

Yeah it was free. I actually did two x10's at the same time. It wasn't particularly difficult... I just called the regional number and told them that I wanted to unlock my phone for use with another carrier. Make sure to specify removing carrier restriction, because they assume you mean the PUK unlock code (totally different code) unless you specify.
Don't bother calling at&t. They told me flat out that they didn't have a single unlock code for the x10. ( maybe they're fibbing though?)

Hi. Which Sonny Ericsson center did you call? I contacted them by email and they told me to go ask ATT, while ATT says that they don't have the code. Thanks!
I know that people have been going with cellunlock . net for their unlock codes but was wondering if you can unlock it yourself somehow. I unlocked the Samsung Captivate myself as the unlock code was hidden on the phone. Just basically wondering if I can save myself $20 somehow if that was possible. Thanks in advanced.

nope it isn't possible like that. but on the bright side. Once it is unlocked it is permanent so even if you flash an .SBF or anything it won't relock

The method used to unlock Atrix is called "remote unlocking" via IEME if you wanna google and read about it.

Atrix unlock available from ATT Aug 22nd 2011
I am moving to China and plan to use my Atrix there. I JUST got off the phone with ATT and they told me that they can give me my unlock code (because I am moving out of the country) BUT not until, on or after the 22nd of Aug 2011. Lucky for me that is right when I am going to China. So, if any of you "plan a trip out of the country" then you can get your unlock code from ATT for free.

lol i called att and they wouldnt give it to me, but seriously i only payed 3 dollars to a guy on ebay and had it unlocked first try. dont pay 20, the 3 dollar guys are just as good. just check their feedback first
Well that sucks that we cannot unlock this ourselves. I mean you can Unlock an iPhone without the need to call I even unlocked a Few HTC Android devices as well, and good point we can unlock the bootloader but can't unlock the code... Maybe just not enough interest shrug.
Not trying to plug anyone or anything but I just unlocked my "Bell Canada" Atrix.
I used cellunlock.net The code cost 40$ but I used the promo code for 50% "android50" or something (Google it) also they were having a 50% off sale so I got it for only 10$.
The good:
It worked!
They did not over charge me (10$ USD)
The bad:
It took them almost a week to get back to me with the code, I thought they may have scammed me but they did finally email me with the code 6 days later.
They mailed me 2 codes ####### or ######## I used the first one but why 2 codes???
Hope it helps!!

hi xda developers!
my uncle sent me an xperia x10 which is originally orange locked so i want to unlock it to use here in philippines. i tried to bring it to the technicians and they're charging me lot of cost and i don't even have a visa card or credit card to buy unlock codes or software online...so can you guys please help me to sort this problem out? please
You can't unlock the phone. There is a software mod to unlock but not sure if you can find it. You will have to buy the code/unlock . I don't see anything else
Damn there was a site for this that was free! Only I forgot it... I will try to search for it for you!
thanks so much! will greatly appreciate your help to sort this out...thanks!
i just noticed, where did my other comment go? is there something wrong with my post?
Do you mean sim locked?
yes it is....

Yeah, I think Omnius *used* to have an option to unlock the X10 for free during a promotional period about a year ago for a couple weeks. I'm not sure if they could have done any of the Orange branded X10s.
Unfortunately, Orange is one of the most difficult (and costly) phones to unlock. The absolutely cheapest way for you to unlock it is to call Orange and see if they'll be kind enough to unlock it (I think Orange UK charges 20-25 Pounds or so, unsure of Orange France).
Only other option is to go with one of the remote unlockers. There are a couple companies that can send you a code with your IMEI but expect to wait around 25 days to save a few (and i do mean, few) dollars.

hey
i just started browsing around for you and whenever i got a carrier locked phone i always used IMEI unlock codes
try this http://www.cellunlocker.net/blog/2010/06/how-to-unlock-sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/
thanks for all your response, actually orange uk is charging 20 pounds to unlock it but unfortunately my uncle wasn't able to organize it as it was already sent to me via dhl. i don't know if they will still allow it to be unlocked as it's already here in philippines. I've been trying to browse around the unlockers to get a code or software to unlock it but as what i've seen there are lots of issues like:
on htccode what i saw just now is their system is seem down as per some client's recent posts who are wanting to get their money back.
and some other unlockers offer the code but will have to wait for 5-10 days. i know this is absurd but i have an itchy hand now so i really want to unlock it really quick and use it right away.
anyway thanks to all of you... if i get to unlock this soon i will post it here.
Hi! I'm also looking for the cheapest code, but for now, the winner is mrunlock for 20 pounds... I don't know if I can trust it... Have you find something cheaper???

So I brought the Lumia 920 from Phones4U, and I'm testing out which one will give me an unlock code...
But here's the thing: People have stated the EE lock is closest to T-Mobile UK, as the Lumia 920 supports the Virgin Mobile SIM too!
Here's the questions:
1. Has anyone here been lucky enough to get it unlocked from EE?
2. What sites have been used?
I have tried:
cellunlocker - Tried on Orange, may try again for T-Mobile
cellphoneunlocker - Tried on Orange, now trying on T-Mobile
fonezone - Tried on Orange and no luck, apparently no code for T-Mobile on that site
Good luck in getting EE to unlock.... Been trying for over a week.
They keep saying to me, as i didn't buy the phone from them, you have to get the code from p4u.. P4u say get it from EE... Ive even contacted Nokia they say EE should unlock it.
There is one site i found on here but its £40

Yeah I've had no luck with p4u either. My main thing is that I think the carrier lock affects the NFC options for registering a card as I have not been able to get about bank cards on the NFC to associate in wallet
I was looking forward to that feature.

I haven't used them for Nokia but contact fonefunshop, they have always helped me in the past!
UPDATE. according to their website they can unlock Lumia 920 locked to EE for £30! I have used them several times in the past and their communication and service is A+!
I visited a couple of those high-street unlocking guys, and they said they could do it for 25 GBP and 40GBP respectively.. Anyone had luck with them? I don't know if I trust them or not..

Your order reference number is: **********
Unlock Code Unavailable
We have refunded your order in full. Please allow 3-4 working days to see cleared funds in your account.
Why?
Unfortunately the unlock code for your IMEI number:*********************************** is not available.
This could be because the phone manufacturer has not yet added it to their database, it is an unsupported model, or you entered the IMEI incorrectly upon ordering.
Kind regards,
Lucy Fox

Thanks for the mention! Gone and proceeded with the order
I ordered mine yesterday, now checking the order page several times a day. I hope they can get it unlocked, otherwise I will have to travel with two phones...
UnlockFrog
Just spoken to UnlockFrog who said :
"First batch of handsets are still processing with our supplier for this new service.
We will have the results towards the end of next week. The service is brand new specifically for EE handsets"
They've added me to their mailing list to let me know if they can unlock it. I'm using a white unlocked 920 ATM but I really want a yellow one, all of which are locked to EE in the UK.
Wait for a month and demand EE give you the unlock code free. They are obliged to if you are on a contract phone. I am waiting for a month and will be claiming my unlock code from EE. already tried and they said a month. O2 give you the code immediately or email yo you within a week. There is really no need to use those sites unless you buy pay as you go. If you are buying buying pay as you go why would you buy a network locked phone?
Sent from my RM-821_eu_euro1_342 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
so better not buying the phone from ee or p4u?
saw the grey one in the advert in town and thought i might go with it:/
want it unlocked so.
didnt find a proper offer in UK or Germany so far
