So I bought a unlocked Atrix but when I put my Telcel SIM inside it tells me to put SIM network unlock PIN? does someone know what is this or can help me?
thank you
Sounds like it is not unlocked... you could try calling AT&T to see if they will give you an unlock code for free(if it was an AT&T phone)... if not you need to buy one online for about $9
I brought new atrix 4G MB860. unlocked bootloader thinking it will unlock network as well.. how can i unlock SIM network ? tried couple of web sites for unlock code but no use, given code didn't work. help pls..
Hello dear developers
now that x10mini boot in unlocked will it be possible also do unlock network / sim lock?
regards
Hi
am not developer myself,
but if you search the forum for sim unlock
you will find many threads (maybe some tut's).
It is possible to unlock the sim
without unlocking bootloader
Good luck
EDIT: Have to correct myself
There are some websites where you can pay
for unlocking your sim.
It's like you would give it to SE for repairing
BUT ask some members who did this before!
hi. i cannot find any thread on unlocking x10 mini
can anybody help?
You can not unlock your sim to any network on this forum. The only way as you was told in a early post is to go to a web site and pay for a unlock code.

hi all, my xperia mini pro is locked to tesco mobile. does anyone now were to get a tesco unlock code and yes i have searched forums but nothing straight forward!!
anyone please any ideas
does unlocking bootloader remove simlock?
http://www.fastgsm.com/en/sonyericsson/se/xperia-mini-pro/unlock-network/flashing-debrand
found something £12-15
The sim lock is removed by paying an unlocking company to get you the code. It costed me $7.99 Canadian to get it done. There is plenty of websites that will do it for you. you just give them your imei # which is easy to find on the phone. They will send you back an unlock code. No the bootloader unlock will not unlock the sim.
thanks but i am on tesco uk so i dont think canadian unlock company will have uk codes.
Hi, first of all please forgive if this is not the right thread for posting this, now i have some question if somebody can help me. Network/sim lock is the same thing ? My bootloader is unlockable and after i enter the code for unlocking in the menu next to network to box is checked with an X, this mean my phone has one of these locks ? And finally i've read that s1tool can remove sim lock, does anyone knows if it safe to use with xperia p and if is this will make my bootloader unlockable ? Thanks, don't be to harsh.
I asked for full unlock (make bootloader unlockable) Alejandrissimo MR from http://unlock-bootloader.com and he gave me answer:
"New Xperia NTX phones has new security, so there is no way to unlock those phones at the present.
As all new phones the new security has the old security holes patched and find another weak point will take some time.
I'm sure there will be a solution in the future, maybe near future.
Greetings."
so then it will be possible at a certain time
I just enter network/SIM unlock code in my Xperia P and bootloader unlocked allow still say NO
So the conclusion is that removing network/SIM lock does not change bootloader unlocked status
why the bl is locked then i had xperia play and x10 and both unlocked

I honestly don't know. I'm very angry on Sony because of this and definitely wont buy any Sony phone in the future.
My network operator told me to insert SIM card from any other operator and when I do that a opo up dialog came up requesting from me to enter network unlock code. I entered provided code and in Service/Configuration Unlocked bootloader allowed still said NO :crying:
Carrier branded versions of phones are generally not unockable as stated by sony.
To sim unlock the phone with a code wont change the bootloader lock/unlock status
Actually nothing will change this status.
So all we can hope is that somebody can do the same to the P than to the S: install CWM despite locked bootloader.

Well, this depends ONLY on your network operator. If you buy a contract cheap phone from provider, the provider is in the position to make the choice if they give you a unlockable or non-unlockable bootloader. This is NOT sonys decision, be mad with your operator or yourself for buying a phone from them instead a free one. It is the same for all manufacters.

So my operator can unlock the bootloader?

Hi, sorry to be a pain, but does this mean that xperia s cannot be unlocked for now?, what if i manage to unlock the bootloader and flash a CFW, will that unlock the sim status? i hope someone could answer me
No, it won't.
There is just one case (movil in spain) where the provider requested at Sony to provide bootloader via the online system.
but this is a very special case.
netlock unlock is decoupled from bootloader unlock. the IMEIs of phone delivered to provides with netlock are not in their online system so no unlock code for the bootloader can be generated even if you get an unlock code for the netlock
but... in my xperia p i have network/sim lock YES, why ?

Hi there,
Any news regarding SIM lock unlock?
I have a friend who has this phone, bought from T and he wants to use a Voda sim card in it.
Is it possible, without paying a lot to T to tell the unlock code?
Thanks in advance!
