Yea, it's same IMEI in everywhere.
Thanks
I suggest you to flash some ROM, i think it will remove any SIM Locks and so one. Find ROM on development forum for your phone.
You can get a Worldwide sony ericsson Unlock Code from imeicodes.co.uk this however takes about a week to get your code, so you need to be patient. The code will work fine aslong as you havent used up your tries to enter it (just like a nokia phone). It's a good idea to check your unlock code attempts before ordering a code by doing the following:
Press menu < < menu < menu menu <
Then you can check the counter [0 or 5].
If it says 0 then you cannot enter codes.
And STOP giving your IMEI on public sites!

Thanks. but, now im trying to install custom rom to my mobile.
Thanks again for infor
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888227is not ROM but tutorial on making new one. I'm using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361 and it's very good. First you have to check if your Baseband Version is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 (Settings→Phone info (I don't remember how it exactly is in English). If not, you must use FlashTool to change it. Next, you have to root your device, install ClockWorkMod (xRecovery) and flash your new ROM.
I'm not sure if it will remove SIM Lock although it's worth of trying. Ask if you have any questions.
Sorry about my english if I wrote sth wrong

BIG thanks for Big Help. I'll try it and post here about my result. Thanks a lot guys again .
Good night. (3:25 AM here )
99% sure roms don't remove sim locks :<
Flashing a ROM has nothing to do with your SIM Lock. So no flashing will magically unlock your device. You need to get the proper unlock code, or have someone with a unlock dongle to do it.

Sure if you got more tries to use with correct unlock code you still can do that.
Else you can get it unlocked via dongle.
You can try and PM the guy in this thread:

Hello -
Having had my 1.76 Hero unlocked (£20) to allow vodafone use, it now has to go into HTC to repair a broken g-sensor. It will come back locked to t-mobile again, with upgraded t-mobile ROM.
I intend to replace the Rom anyway, with Modaco custom ROM.
So do I need to unlock it all over again (I don't have a t-mobile sim card), or is there a way to go directly to the ROM flashing?
thanks,
alex
Do you have the option to input an unlock code?

He isn't asking about rooting, instead of spamming every post in the forum with answers maybe just dont assume he wants something he didnt ask for?
you have even contradicted your post saying he needs a gold card in the last post!

Hi, I've had my ray for about a week now, and i'm already sick of the stock .62
I started unlocking my bootloader, the method from the Sony website. But when it asks me for my IMEI, it wants a 14 digit number, and mine is 15. I don't know what to do. Is there another solution? I would love some help. I have searched everywhere but apparently no one has the same problem.
I want to flash Miui but i'm new to this phone and I don't have a clue about anything. It was so much easier on my Optimus One

delete the last number of your imei to become 14 digit
6. Enter your name, email address, the first 14 digits (remove the last digit) of your phone’s IMEI number

Hi There,
I'm getting a little stuck with IHASHGPU. I tried all the hashes in my nv_data.bin but unfortunately I don't have a compatible GPU.
I've extracted the nv_data.bin and have attached the file.
I have the unlock code from my network provider but it doesn't work and I think I need the unfreeze code now. Would someone be able to extract the unfreeze and unlock codes or provide a clean nv_data.bin for me? Either one would be greatly appreciated. I'm just restriced due to compatability issues.

Why dont you just use Chainfires free unlock app from the market.
https://market.android.com/details?...sImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zZ3Myc2ltdW5sb2NrY29kZSJd
Some say that when you put in the code it says Code Incorrect but unlocks the phone anyway but Ive had the same message unlocking phones via IMEI unlock so wouldnt this be easier.Alot of people swear by it.

I didn't get any prompts when I used it. I hit step 1 so it did the backup, there was a confirmation there. Then pressed step 2 and the screen went blank for a few seconds, the phone rebooted and all of a sudden it was unlocked.

Yes you can as that's a permanent unlock. I have purchased codes from eBay in the past. Make sure the seller has a good rating before you buy though.

What are you talking about !!!!!
Unlocking SIM card has nothing to do with flashing a ROM ! It 'just' enables you to change phone carrier!
Unlocked or not you can flash whatever you want !!!
To flash a rom you jus need to follow one of the noob guides on how to root/installa custom recovery....

Not all unlocks are permanent, and as the OP stated, when he flashed Roms with his current unlock, he loses his unlock.
@ op, I would flash a stock Rom before using a new unlock just to be sure.
Can't help you with reliable sites though, check feedback.

not sure where your from but from THREE UK they officially unlock your phone within 5 minutes, yes its costs about £15 which is roughly $25 but its worth it. i don't have to worry about it getting locked again when flashing different roms. Call your carrier see if they can unlock your device.

What should i do to make it appear? btw im on my stock 4.3 firmware.

Most secret codes don't work anymore, contact whomever sold you the code for help -it should normally be input when you insert a new SIM card.
