[Q] Sim locked? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

In the service menu under 'SIM lock'
the menu is showing the following information:
[] Network 5
[] Network subset 5
[] Service provider 5
[] Corporate5
[] SIM 0
I can't test the phone with another SIM card, but i'm wondering if my phone is simlocked or isn't locked.

On X10mini, bought on an Orange UK contract I get the same display as yours, but the first line says
[x] Network 5
So presumably that [x] indicates that my handset is locked to a network (which is what I'd expect) which suggests that yours is unlocked

Thanks for your feedback! Will report back when i've tested it with a SIM-card from another provider.

yép, my Vodafone branded x10 mini pro isn't sim locked!

Hmm, I have the same, need to check whether my T-Mobile X10 Mini is simlocked. Service menu shows the same info as yours does Rylo. I'll get back when I find another SIM to insert.

[Q] network locked

Hi, i was wondering what mean in service info> Sim Lock> [x] network 3. In my country we have the phone number portability and should come unlocked .
sorry for my english
[X] means locked, the number next to it indicates the number of attempts left. Looks like you have tried 2 wrong codes

Sim card not registered?

Hi guy's, have a UK SGS2. It's rooted and running Criskelo ICS rom. I've recently been in Brazil for 6 months, my phone worked fine over there. I've come back to the UK and got a standard Vodafone PAYG sim card. When I try and use it the phone says "not registered on network"
The sim card itself is fine as it works in my old mans SGS2.
I have wiped the phone and installed the standard software and it's still the same.
Anyone got any ideas what could be up?
The phone could be network locked (sim lock)
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
That's what the guy on Vodafone web chat suggested.
How and why would it get network blocked?
The phone was originally on the 3 network. I bought it 2nd hand about 1.5 years ago and it's been fine on T-mobile ever since.
If it is sim locked, is there a way to unlock it?
You can unlock with:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zZ3Myc2ltdW5sb2NrY29kZSJd
It's free on google play.
I don't think it's sim locked, I can put any chip in it. It doesn't ask me for an unlock code.
I have run the sim unlock tool. The code it came up with is 00000000
When you go into the network settings, it shows all the service providers. every provider I click on says "can't register on the network"
I'm wondering if i've had some sort of network update in Brazil that's screwed it up?

I'm sure its something to do with being abroad as i've read about someone that had the same issue when they went from China to Denmark.
If I go to settings - phone it says...
Network - Unknown
Signal Strength - 103 dBm 5 asu
Mobile Network Type - HSDPA:9
Service State - Out of Service
Roaming - Not Roaming
Mobile Network State - Disconnected
My Phone Number - Unknown
IMEI - the correct number, I checked
The fault isn't with the sim card itself, I can use it in other phones and I can save a contact to it in this phone.
I'm wondering if some of those network settings I had from the Brazilian phone company's have messed something up.

Any help

need some help troubleshooting network issue

Hi
I bought a second hand Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2303 and I'm having trouble making and receiving calls. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on what may be the problem.
The phone recognises each of the different sims ive tried (showing the network name in the top info bar) but none of them are able to make calls, the call just times out and ends without any dial tones.
The signal strength is always very low for each network so I wondered if there was a hardware issue with the antenna. While searching for some information I ended up on the Service Menu > Sim Lock screen. As each of the sims I've tried have been recognised, I assumed the phone was unlocked. However, the SIM Lock screen details are confusing me. This is what is displayed -
[X] Network: 0
[X] Network Subset: 0
[X] Service provider: 0
[X] Corporate: 0
]X] SIM: 0
From what I've read so far, when an "X" is next to either Network or Service provider, along with a number, the phone is locked with a certain amount of tries left to unlock it with a network unlock code. If Network or Service provider is marked with an "X" and has a "0" after it, the phone is hardlocked to a network.
What is confusing me is that every sim I've tried in the phone has not asked for any network codes, so again I am assuming the phone is already unlocked to all networks, but why is every line of the above info marked with an "X" and a "0"? Every screenshot I've seen of the SIM lock screen only shows an "X" next to Network, but why does every line of my phone show an "X"?
Thanks for any info you can provide.
It could be that the phone u bought was a defective one. But I will try to do some more research into that issue as it a unique issue and I never experienced this.
Update:- It might be locked to a carrier of some sort or it just could be some antenna cable inside the smartphone just came plugged off or its just some software bug.
Also have you tried resetting your phone like wiping the data completely from your Xperia? If not try that or you have reset it but its still showing that issue, well I cant help much after because I have ran out of what could go wrong on your device.

XZ1 from Japan. Installed latest CE1 FW, partial Simlock

Hi. I've recently ordered a new XZ1 from Japanese distribution. Phone is working (without NFC of course) on latest Customized CE1 firmware. But I have a problem with calling. I can call anybody but no one can call me. LTE/4G and Edge/2G data is working. But phone doesn't see any 3G networks (I tried 2 Polish Play SIMs and one Plus SIM with the same effect). I enabled VoLTE by flashing oem from Japanese Softbank but this didn't help. I checked service menu - simlock status and there is one "X" sign at Network subset with number 5 beside. So now - is it possible to fully unlock sim so that I could actually use WCDMA connectivity to receive calls?
Network [0] either means the phone is network unlocked or unlocking no longer available
Network Subset [5] mean the phone is Carrier restricted and this restriction only allow certain SIM cards (most being seen CDMA network band I 2.0GHz)
you might have to either contact the distributors (au, docomo, SoftBank) or provide these informations to 3rd party services.
Hi,
I've got the same issue with my japanese XZ1 (SOV36), only EDGE or 4G.
Did you figure out how to fix it ?
