ya i tried that but it locks me out =(. Tried mobileincanada.com for the unlock. they told me they were able to unlock it but after i paid they said they couldnt find a code for the IMEI so i got a refund.
would rebel sim work on 2.2? im also having trouble on how to start with the upgrade to 2.2

yes you can use a 2.2 rom with rebel sim , u just got to download steves no baseband rom , go the steves thread on info on how to upgrade to that rom if you decide to buy a rebel sim , either way steve or someone in that thread can help you guys out , don't sell it , phone is outta this world

sweet man thanks alot for the advice. I think youve convinced me to keep it =). Im really experience with iphone unlocks but im new to all these android thingy. I read DJ Steve's thread but im a bit confused. Do i need anything installed on the PC or mac in order to upgrade?
also would there be a chance the device would BRICK?

I bought might and returned right away once I found out that unlocked version (come pre-loaded with froyo 2.2) is sold online @Dell.com. Luckily, my cousin in the states helped me bought one and I should be getting it end of this month.
Ok Rogers is now releasing the codes for the Streak. It's the only sure way I know of unlocking with code.
does the phone "Have" to unlocked to update roms?
No but it does have to be rooted.

And once i did i noticed yet another problem -__-
When i try to connect to wifi and or bluetooth... it dosent work for about 5 minutes then restarts.

Hello my friends, I need your help
I had bought a mobile x10a from canda
i bought it from a telecommunications company at $ 240
Is a device used is not new
The problem is that the device does not accept any SIM CARD .. Only offering from the company
So .. I've bought from the company code to make the device work on any sim card at $ 35
The company is a code that puts in the phone and I'm not I who put it
Mobile version 1.6 ... So .. I want to update to 2.3.3
Can I do it without problems??? Or will I need to buy a new one to break the code
What is your opinion in this problem?? ... Please help me
I think SIM Card lock will not affect the update process. Be easy my friend.

Code has been developed by the company and I do not have a copy of it
This is the last comment I will make on this topic it is getting annoying now. The code is PERMANENT. I know that because...that is what the code is supposed to do. PERMANENT UNLOCK. It doesn't matter if you root it, update it, go back to 1.6 or go to 2.1 or go to 2.3.3. It will ALWAYS STAY UNLOCKED. Please stop asking questions over and over again. If you do not believe me than that is your problem.
thank my friend for you comment

Hello Guys
I have a stupid question, can someone tell me how to unlock Xperia S so that I will be able to use any sim from any network? I have a chance to buy Xperia S on Monday but it is locked to 3 network in UK and I'm currently in Tesco Mobile. Please can someone help asap. Thanks
Maybe if you flash a world generic firmware.
Next time ask in Q&A forum.

Is that it? God I thought it will be much harder because I couldn't find it anywhere how to do it. The only way to do it I found was to buy an unlock code for £44 . Sorry for posting here, next time I will write in Q&A if I will have a problem like that. Thanks for your help

I just phoned o2 as they are my network provider and they gave me the unlock code, put a different SIM card in from a different network and put in the code.
I thought they had to.

Ask your carrier to unlock it.

That's why I am informing you. If you ask them to unlock a phone that was sold as a contract violation, it won't do you any good.

This would be the case if the original person bought it with contract. But if he got it sim free( pay as you go), then it is legal.
To answer the original question, the only way is to phone three themselves and ask for unlocking code, I think it is 20-30 pounds
I recently bought the Xperia U for my partner that was locked to the 3 network. They will unlock it, BUT the person on the contract will have to make th call and they will supply him with the code, can take up to a week for it as it comes from Sony themselves. I think the cost was about £15 for it.
Thread moved to Q & A section.
I have galaxy s3 with a straight talk micro sim in it (the bring your own phone sim, cost 14.00 bucks). I bought a used GTI9100M s2 and re installed the stock rom because I wanted to remove the root from it. when I install my sim for my s3 with the adapter from mini to micro, it gives me the ENTER NETWORK UNLOCK CONTROL KEY BOX. I though the GTI9100 was unlocked as it is the international version. So why is it asking for a control key?
I just want to be able to use gti9100 for a backup phone in case my s3 breaks. can I switch the sim back and fourth like this?
Thank you for any advice.
You need to unlock it. Being the international version doesn't mean it's unlocked per se.

Do I need one of those unlock codes off the internet that cost about 10 bucks?
Also, can you or someone tell me if by doing this I'm unlocking the phone or the sim card itself? I don't want to cause a problem with my sim when I put it back in my S3, thaks
You can unlock it by searching the forum. There's a thread about this resolved yesterday at q&a.
And no, it won't affect your sim card at all, it will only unlock your phone.

I want to thank you for your help first, but I'm wondering now why I bothered getting a GTI9100 international if I still have to unlock it. All I've seen people saying is, " just get an unlocked phone, that way any gsm provider's sim will work with it".
