[Q] How to unlock my X10i from Orange UK? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I was wondering if anybody could guide me in the right direction as to how I would unlock my SE X10i from Orange UK??
Iv tried buying software (XS++, SETOOL, Unlock Patch generator) but it seems to be outdated as it doesnt recognise my X10i..
I hope somebody can help as I cant stand Orange UK as where I live the signal is pants..
Thanks in advance..

From what i have read in various posts i dont think you can unlock the X10 many people say ive tried such and such but it didnt work, however i believe somewhere in the general or developers forums some one was offering out a code once a week. but i havent been following it as im on contract with them so i dont have a choice but to use them

I had this problem because i wanted to change operator. But when I requested my PAC code they just matched the other networks offer!

I rang orange a week ago on 150 and was told they would email me the unlock code and it would cost me £20 and i would have to wait up to 40 days for the code.... still waitin on the email

Hi, has anyone succesfully unlocked their x10's?
I have tried about 8 mobile phone shops and they either do not have the software yet or they can not yet do mine as it as the up to date software and I will have to wait 4-6 weeks for an undated code...something along them lines anyway. I am not very technical lol.
Please let me know Thanks

I wouldn't trust ferraripassion. By the looks of his signature, he is from the same company that sold me a non-working code for my HTC Tattoo and stopped answering emails when I requested a refund.
That is, of course, unless I'm very much mistaken.
HI Ferraripassion. I sent you a PM
That's a heavy price!

Hey, I used a tutorial on here mate, i didnt update to 2.1 via Sony Ericsson PC Companion.. I downloaded the flashing tool & and UK Generic Firmware from a link i seen in the forums.

they wanted to £20 as apposed to £40 my first enquiery.. whats my best solution anybody?
I got mine on ebay, 5 dollars, worked perfectly
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Can anybody help me? i am getting a new simcard tommorow and have a locked X10 so i wont be able to use it
even pay servers i dont mind!!
Orange UK does something special with their locked handsets... they have to... unlocking a rogers x10 is like 5 USD.
I got mine unlocked via a person on this forum, ferraripassion, i think. i would give their website but i don't think i'm allowed. but their website unlocks handsets from another manufacturer - they have the instructions for the xperia x10 on their forum. They charged 40 USD and they were able to do it in a half hour (connect the phone to your computer, they remote into your computer, run software and done)
Before, I had ordered an unlock code from a different website. They were a little cheaper and promised 24-28 hours. BS. 2 weeks later they had nothing. I constantly sent emails, etc. I got fed up and threatened to do a charge back, in spite of their 21 day policy since they obviously weren't doing anything except changing the status manually. The code eventually came in about 4-5 weeks after my order. A waste of my time though.
I just fear that am gonna be stuck with a t-mobile simcard for weeks without a phone to use it on :/ .. shame it was a awsome £7.50 a month deal with them 600 mins unlimited text & unlimited internet ..
wiped the floor with orange but i wont be able to use it unless i sort this blinking thing out first!!!!
mobileincanada dot com worked for me, same day service and unlock worked.

As I know, T-Mobile UK and Orange UK are joined together. Ask T-Mobile UK customer service about that. I think, I saw this sort of questions at the TMO UK customer service forum and that should be free.
By the way the X10 unlocking is actual now again since the unlocking server is down and all those "$40-services" are temporary down too. Look like all of them did their business through Sony Ericsson server and actually didn't have any own know-how. It is possible that actually this server is up long ago, but they cut off the access to this feature or found an employee, who sold access (see levels of EMMA).
Look like I need somebody from T-Mobile UK to order unlock code too (this service is for current customers with street address for receiving paper mail).

[Q] HTC Hero Orange Uk unlocking

Hello I have an HTC Hero on Orange UK and it is locked to Orange. I'm trying to get it to get it unlocked so that I can give it to my brother who is on T Mobile UK.
At first I though it would be as simple as loading a new ROM but after rooting it and installing both Villian and a Taiwanese ROM I still couldn't use the T Mobile SIM.
I am aware that the unlocking codes could be brought from Orange but I was wondering if there was a way of unlocking it with out purchasing the unlocking codes.
I have had a look online and on here for various methods but i couldn't find anything of any use. I am aware that this may not be the first time this has been asked so if you have any solutions please link me or explain...
Finally I am pretty tech able am able to do most things.
cheers
Tim
Short answer: Pay for a code
Long answer: Don't pay orange £20 for a code, go look on eBay for one. Mine cost £6.99.
Also, this does not belong in "Android development"
hey man, there is no other way then buying 6-7 pounds.. so, save your time by stop searching free sim unlock
timothy,
Orange and T-Mobile are now the same company (can't remember who bought who) so your brother should be able to use the hero straight away.
If it doesn't work then Orange should now unlock it to T-Mobile without question, considering that they are one and the same.

Please disregard this misinformed statement!
Orange and T-Mobile merged, neither bought either, and their "parent company" Everything Everywhere (lame name) was created.
They do network share, so customers can opt in to use the masts from the other network, but by no means are they the same network now.
The brands are due to remain seperate, and lets be fair
1) why would they believe that it was going to be on T-Mob, surely if they'd unlock for free without question everyone would just say that
2) they're wanting to make £25 quid out of you, and they will do for as long as its legally possible.
Once again, short answer: buy a code on ebay.
Buy a code off ebay then you have to downgrade your rom to an early modaco one cant remember which one i used , enter the code to unlock it then reflash an up to date rom.
Thats the only way to unlock a orange hero just had to do 3 off emm mate.
thanks for all suggestions i feel i will have to buy the codes cheers anyway

one last thing who do you buy them from on ebay (seller name/link) and is it always for htc hero on orange
Is Modaco 2.9 ROM still the only method to unlock Orange UK? Currently running RCMix and rooted. Better still, how one did recently.
Cheers.
Yes think it was that one mate... it was one of the very early modaco custom roms anyway.
don't worry,use this which give different countries and provider,with unlocking code of reliable cost.
you can use that & unlock mobile mobile to T mobile .

[Q] how to Unlock x10i T-Mobile UK

I recently bought a t-mobile UK branded x10 from ebay...
I wanted to unlock it..
I have read all the posts all over INTERNET. The cheapest service i found on ebay was for 18 pounds(not verified still) with a unlock code.
Whereas the for x10a rogers and At&t it was for some 5 dollars!!!
I also read unlocking by cable. It says i have to buy credits for at least 10 phones.. that will cost me a lot !
I wanted to ask if there is a method to unlock it for free or cheaper...
can somebody suggest me the how to unlock it ..
Thanks in advance !!!
I am a newbie to android..This website is like the temple to all andoid guys!!!

First - try to contact your seller. If it worked, use official way if your seller is a current TMO customer. He should have active account for at least 90 days (as I remember) and have street address since they send unlock code by regular mail. It costs 15GBP. Usually it it doesn't work - who cares after successful transaction?
I used cable service of pretty well known "Sweden GSM". It costs $40. It took me around half an hour from payment till unlocking.
Another worked at least for two people from this forum service - by code. You'll get the code in 5-7 days after payment. It costs a little cheaper - $36.5.
The thread with all this info and personal experience:
[Q] AT&T X10a carrier unlock
Both contacts are at page 4, but better to read all thread - for info and for feedback from different services.
Hey thanx a lot Che Kirila and XperiaX10iUser.. i am trying to find call up the seller... to get the unlock for me .. If not then search elsewhere...
i read the post .. i will try contacting them for the code..
thanks for guiding me..
P.S: just wondering why the unlock so tough to find..... Its been quite long x10i has been in market.. still no crack available !

It depends on the lock technology. Encoding with open and private key technically unbreakable (time to bruteforce is too long), but there is simpler way - SE can just generate random numbers and write down them to the database, so no crack, the only way is to steal whole database.

[Q] how to get orange xperia x10 free unlock code

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....
hey guys can you please check this out?

waiting for the end of the contract
maybe u`re thinking about http://www.omnius-server.com/, but they can`t unlock x10, only 90% of se models can be unlocked for free by that site

is there any other way i can unlock my x10 for free?
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???
