Can this phone be unlocked? If so, how? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought an X10 from someone yesterday and wanted to find out if it can be unlocked. The phone is AT&T as it has the AT&T logo on the back but when the phone turns on, it shows Rogers. Im guessing the guy flashed the phone to Rogers. So would I be able to unlock this phone? If so, how?
Thanks

No one knows?

Sony sent me back locked phone from repair and can't get unlock code anywhere.

Ok so the saga continues. I sent phone in for repair since it wasn't powering on and not able to connect to usb. They sent me back a brand new unit, but it was an unlocked x10a locked to Rogers and now I can't get an unlock code anywhere. I have tried 5 different online companies, I called Rogers and begged as Sony recommended I do and now my only hope is Sony calls me today and gives me a code I guess. It sucks that I sent in an unlocked x10 and got back a locked one. I have a feeling I am going to be screwed! Any ideas? Thanks

What got locked and what got unlocked? Bootloader or root?

I think he means SIM locked to Rogers.
This is insane, SE should provide you with an unlocked phone,
exactly like the one you sent for repair, and if that's not possible,
an unlock code is the least they can do!
I hope it turns out well for you.
Just finished up another half hour long call with Sony begging for help, but they say there is nothing they can do. I am hitting a wall. Anyone here a Rogers Customer that could try to get an unlock code from them for me? I will gladly donate some cash via paypal for someones help.

Thanks for the info...I placed an order for the software and then got word from the site that the software is unavailable for at least 1-2 weeks lol. I can't catch a break! I will update again when something changes. Thanks for all your help guys.
Did you give Mobile in Canada a go? Also the handset was sent into Flextronics for repair so they just gave you a new unit it looks like.. where are you located?
You maybe out of luck as Rogers deems the warranty void if you unlock the phone, so tread lightly. PM if you have any q's
Actually that's not true. In fact Rogers' provides their own unlocking service. There are requirements, which I can't recall all of them, I believe if you have completed your contract or have purchased the phone outright they will do it. I'll see if i can find the phone number for that dept when i get to work
I have called Rogers and they are showing no compassion at all for my situation. I'm afraid I am going to have to sell the phone. It's really a shame, because I do love it. So on the Bay it goes to hopefully find a new home and add some funds for me to get something else. If anyone is interested in a Rogers locked x10 let me know.

Is the SGS3 locked to orange network?

Ok so I just got myself an SGS3 I9300 off e-bay, it hasn't arrived yet but I'm just curious to know will it be locked to the Orange Network? I had it shipped to my uncle in England who in turn checked it out and then sent it to me in Greece, he told me when booting it up it had an Orange boot up logo. He didn't have a micro-sim to test it. I'm also quite a bit of a noob when it comes to Android so I was just wondering if anyone could point me out to some ways of getting rid of the Orange boot logo plus if needed a way of unlocking the phone to any network?
tl;dr Got SGS3 hasn't arrived, might be locked to orange, want to know how to get rid of orange boot logo and how to unlock carrier lock on it if it has it.
Thanks for any help posted!

Yes it will be locked, unless the person previous who had the phone had it unlocked.
There are sim unlock tools on XDA which you can use

Could you or anyone else that reads this possibly link me to some tools to unlock the phone? I had a bit of a look and found some information about something called Voodoo unlock. Digging a bit deeper I found out that it's outdated though? Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!
Edit: Also to mention the previous owner had not even taken the phone out of the box so no he hasn't unlocked it.

i thank you, i will also join you too hold the doors open for you! lol does that mean i am sol on the sim lock?
if you bought the phone from bell then it shouldnt be blacklisted. if its blacklisted like the unlocking company said, then wouldnt the smart thing to do is to go back to a bell store to confirm that?
and if the companies online cant unlock it for you just get it unlocked at a bell store, if i remember correctly its $50.

I brought this phone over craigslist.
I put my friends T-mobile sim for few days to see if phone gets recognized, so that i can ask t-mobile to unlock it. But seem like T-mobile will unlock only when the account from which it was bought asks for it.
Sorry man you may be screwed, craigslist buys never seem to go well when it comes to carrier unlocking.

will Flash Stock unlock my device?
Only way it'll unlock is if the ESN is clear on TMOBILE site http://www.t-mobile.com/verifyimei.aspx
If it is CLEAR then thats when you can buy your code from the only site that sells legit codes. https://www.unlockbase.com/phone-unlocking-service/tmobile-device-unlock-app-official-unlock/
IF you want to do it free, you can call tmo and ask them for a code, etc etc

I bought my phone online, and this is what you do.
MAKE SURE THE PHONE ISNT ROOTED!!!
1) Flash back to stock (because stock has the TMobile Unlock app)
2) Call TMobile and tell them the phone is fully paid off and that you spoke to someone at tech support already and they said you could unlock it.
3) They will ask you if you have an account I said no, and then they will ask you for the IMEI and if you want a permanently unlock it (say yes) and they will give you the go ahead to unlock it through the app. (probably ask for your email and such to send you instructions on how to use the app)
4) The app is pretty straight forward but if you need help the steps are in the email.
5)Profit:victory::victory::victory:
That's what I did good luck

Tried the same, but they said phone has to be used under Tmobile network for 40 days to be eligible to unlock.
Any other suggestions??

Unfortunately that's a "strict" requirement. I would call back tell them you're going back to your country and if they don't bite escalate to a supervisor.

There are already 3 threads like this. We do not need a 4th. This is the solution here, which I have given. You must first meet the criteria that T-Mobile sets for us, and no you do not need to be the original owner nor do you need to be stock. I was rooted at the time. Stop wasting time on other unlock sites. The link below gives you the thread and solution.
Good luck

Thank you Bobby. I've heard of that way but I was looking for a way that I could do myself while investing my time and not money. There has been previous success with other models but I can't seem to find a technique for my model. There has to be a way.
