You can call your service provider and have them unlock it
they have to unlock it if you request
Nice try though
First of all not all providers give you the unlock code. Even if they do they have contract terms and conditions which have to be satisfied before they give you the unlock code like you must have completed 6 months of the contract..
Secondly the unlock code wont be available to you instantly, you must wait for 15 days to 1 month before you get the code.
Third :- You must be the owner of the phone + contract for them to give you the code ( This is where most people miss out)
its a shame to put advertisement like this in a forum that consists of people trying to get this same feature for free ...
you should share the info or just go to e-bay !

Whilst I may agree with you, this same argument is raised every time a new HTC phone is released and Tupisdin offers a paid for unlock for it.
You have the choice to not take him up on his offer and wait for a free version to be created; he simply offers a service for those who need it now.
you and many others...
funny he got the phone whilst it not even being released..
i'd probably better off ignoring this
you are so right
guys plz don't take this one like the diamond one.
the money charged by tupisdin is going to the forum and not into his pocket, so that's generous.
well if thats the case i'll pay directly to the forum show him the confirmation note and he can give it to me freely then?
People this is legit, the moderators and admin know about this and the only currency changing hands goes directly to the forum as a donation.
END of story.

well if thats the case then there is no issue with me giving the money directly to the site and getting the unlock. why complicate things?
I dont actually need an unlock but this guys has been just about as shady as the European Unions financial records, we should have access to all details of the transfers of this money....if he is to be believed that is.

theres no free lunch today , not even, you have seen many free solutions, but not this one, if you are in a hurry and dont want to pay, ha ha ha you have to forget about unlocking raphael, its too new and, very expencive to unlock at this time. thats the life just get over it. and dont forget about all the free stuff xda-dev has given you.
and i know tupisdin is a real gentleman and already helped loads of xda-dev members. and you can trust him 100% to get your raphael unlocked
you know, a few years ago that was exactly why this forum existed to HELP people do this stuff, funny thing is people still donated money because it was a great place to be, that was back in the day when folk were trying to get thinks like WM05 running on WM2003se, or 2003 running on 2002, buz lightyear did some fantastic work and never asked for a penny, people donated to him and im sure folk have given him old devices as well.
That has changed, sadely, perhaps we need an XDA developers pro or something because this is not the place it originally designed as
buzz
buzz............ capitol, grand expert and man.
What I have been asking, how is Tupisdin getting the unlock codes? Is he working for htc, or does he have a calculator or something...

And i very much doubt you will get an answer.
I have no doubt he either works for HTC, or knows someone who does, like many others here who currently do or have in the past.
But the bottom line is, that he is able to sim unlock them, he charges for it which he then donates to xda-devs. if you do not want to pay, then don't. Wait until someone else creates a free version.
As for things having changed, maybe not so much. the number of people who donate or try and help is still tiny compared to the number of people who come here and leech, and flame, and ***** when they kill their device cos they didn't read the instructions properly. and sadly the number of people like this has increased dramatically over the last few years as these devices get more popular.
And besides, for most of the guys here who develop stuff (like Olipro, Cmonex, schaps and many others), they work damn hard so why the hell shouldn't they get a little something for it? Would you go to work and expect not to get paid??
OK everyone has said thier piece, nothing has been on topic since I requested it to be so sorry folks, thread over........tupisdin you can create another one if you so wish but it seems the majority of people want a free ride!? shame really.
Thread Closed.

donating the money is upto you, if you dont want to unlock it then you dont want it, but there are people who need to unlock their phones immediately, NO FREE SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT
well as for free solutions to the average freeloader - none.
cheap solution - as I promised earler in this thread it is here ... Raphael / Touch pro sim unlock by OliNex
contributors as always, get it free ...!
anyone who gets upset that it is not free for non contributors, well, consider that you still get your locked device real cheap overall *and* it is now unlocked too, and the total amount is still not much!

that makes more sence doing it this way, what bugs me is the apparent need for a middle man as is the case with other "unlockers", i donate straight to the forum which is exactly where the money goes anyway so why the middle man, just seems a bit daft if you ask me.
Course things have changed on here over the years, an as they say you dont get anything for free any more so thats how things have to be now.
I am sure I take more from xda than I give, and I do try and help out when I can, but frankly most of us don't have the same skill set as olipro/cmonex. In case you haven't noticed who made your spl lately, take a look. I respect their work and think they are being more than fair. The amount they are charging doesn't even come close to covering the amount of work they put in, not to mention the free software and support they supply the forum. I wish xda would go to paid memberships (10-20£ a year for everyone but active cooks) to weed out a lot of junk and help support those who contribute. Without XDA, my phone(s) would suck.

Im saying that what olipro/cmonex and co do is better than what otherpeople do on here, they give people the opertunity to get it free if they contribute which is exactly what the forum was made for in the first place, i dont agree with free loaders taking and not giving, what bugs me about all the other folk who charge for things is that they dont take in to account what that person gives back to the comunity financially or otherwise.
Can we use Diamond radio ROMs after this security unlock ?
my pro was already unlocked
i have just recieved my Pro from HI, in toerh words the DUTCH provider KPN, and it was already unlocked, not a problem whatsoever, i even tried it with my T-Mobile sim, and it functioned perfectly.
so i dont know if basically they give em out locked or not, as most of my friends who have got that phone recieved it unlocked.

not sure what you mean by middle man.
anyway, yes you still get many things for free such as the hardspl itself! that will ALWAYS remain free. and then, many cool custom roms and packages/cabs, descriptions and support for unbricking the usual non special bricks, support for flashing too, etc. etc.
edit: ah I see there is no disagreement after all.

Hi guys,
I tried www.unlockitnow.com.
They couldn't find me the code, so they sent me an unlock sim (to put toghether with my sim).
It doesn't work either.
I saw an ebay listing from UnlockLiberty, I went to their website and they say they can't unlock it at this moment...

As this Tab is locked up tighter than.......... well your best bet is probably pay the fee or whatever to AT&T? We can not root, we have locked bootloader and probably locked sim. That is the only way i can think of.

The SIM Card slot is under upper part cover
I phoned AT&T and talked to 2 depts: International Support and Customer Service. No go, and they checked the IMEI for me and said it came up with "not available for unlocking". Only suggestion is to contact Sony. They also said even as AT&T customer, the result is still the same.
eBay has someone selling unlocking for $62. I haven't used them so I can't say if they are legit (sounds like but who knows) and it's expensive too.
Cannot find other methods at all. I won't even attempt those online sites that shows they can do it, they just created repeated pages for all phones and devices on their website so they show up on searches, and not even sure they can do it. Worse, sometimes a refund can take a long time (same for eBay, I am not saying eBay any better).
$62. is quite a lot. I would go for $30. but really can't decide at this price since I paid the Woot special deal price, not full price on the device.
anyone try for ebay unlock code sony tablet P?
here is the cheaper solution... http://www.masterunlockcode.com/uni...-sony-tablet-p-unlock-code-np-2012-14048.html

any other info regarding this?
I also has ATT sony tablet P to unlock..
btw, anyone know how to update ATT sony tablet P to ICS? other country tablet P are easy to update.. but not for ATT
Sim unlock for the Sony Tablet P AT&T is now obsolete and nothing can be done about it.
All online unlocking services are not able to unlock it. It's only in Sony's hands if they decide to give out the unlock code.
Please if someone can find a solution point to it.
Does anyone have this file "signed-nbx02_001-ota-0045.010.zip" this may help to unlock the sim-lock by updating to HC 3.2.1. This file is also my only hope of unbricking my TAB S. LOL long story.... don't ask

I also want to know why this is not applicable because I was also planning to do this as well. Is it because Sony has whitelisted the EDID so it won't load the communication if it is not in the right list? If it is the case, would you know the EDID of the worktable model so in case one pops up on eBay? Since you seem to know what you are talking about, I wish you would elaborate it a little more to help some of us as info is hard to come by on this model, instead of a simple one liner? Please.

I'm not that much knowledgeable than you, I simply built up my info trying to unlock my Tablet P and using several online services and all of them failed to give me an unlock code for the Tablet P and further searching lead me to know that still Sony and AT&T on agreement for the Tablet P so that might make Sony reluctant or unable to release the Tablet P unlock code to the public.
That is all and I'm not hiding any info that might help others.

I don't get it. Now you are talking about asking for unlock code from Sony or AT&T. But cdwangxd explicitly asked about replacing the modem card, not about asking for an unlock code, which are completely two different things. And you answered, directly to his post, because you have quoted his, saying that it is "not applicable".
There are various kinds of F5521gw cards on the market such as eBay, some are generic, some are with Dell or HP EDIDs. Not only you said this is "not applicable", you didn't even point out which kind of cards aren't. And I wanted to give you a chance to help all of us here, by answering your own answer.
I hope the question is not too complicated for you? The question is this: You said replacing the F5521gw card (you labelled this as a "suggestion", fine by me), is "not applicable", my question is why is it not applicable?
Do you at least understand that the state of the lock or unlock (network lock etc), stays on the modem card, and not the other parts of the Tablet? I hope you at least understand this?
Various people have made the same suggestions as cdwangxd did, so I am sure he has done his homework, from forums such as pocketables. The only thing missing is there hasn't been one documented case of success of this method so far, so this is unknown as to the success rate, and also if true generic version must be used or not.
I am not trying to be personal. Your answer to cdwangxd is very important and critical, and your information will determine if this method would work or not. Thus I asked you about whitelisting because that is what the PC market has been doing to block out non factory parts being integrated, so this can be a real possibility (since Sony also makes laptops. sure they will understand and know this trick too, right?).
Again, please answer the question in order to help us. We do not need the answer about unlocking code, as that has been a dead end so far. Thanks. (except for an eBay seller who claimed to have direct access to Sony's database, b/c of the price, I didn't buy it).

First of all, it took you more than 2 weeks to answer to this thread again.
Second, "not applicable" doesn't necessarily mean that it's not doable and I know that the lock is resident in the modem card but importantly are we talking on the same device the Sony Tablet P (this is also an important and critical point to the subject) because do you know how hard it is to change the modem card in the Tablet P? do you even know the schematics of this device? and are you certain that it's a separate modem card inside and not soldered to the mainboard?
It's all about how far would you go to get your device unlocked? are you willing to destroy your Tablet P to have it unlocked?
Furthermore, who would do it for you? and for how much?
If you know of a simple method of changing the modem card (that is if it's changeable in the first place) then tell me and I will be the first to get onboard for the unlock.
By the way, there is no document of any success case because it's "not applicable" so just don't throw your flame replies without proof, if you have proof on your saying get back to us with the solution and we will be all grateful to you.
Again, finally till now, the only solution to unlock the Tablet P is an unlock code from Sony not even AT&T can help with that, only Sony.

I am sorry that it took 2 weeks for me to reply to this thread. Is that a problem? I do not know that a prompt reply is required on a public forum?
To me, "not applicable" means "not doable" because your post did not make any elaboration beyond a one line comment, however critical this info is. But regardless, to give you the benefit of the doubt, I simply asked you one more time to give you a chance to explain further. But you came back with an answer about unlock code, and nothing about what was about the response you made to the other poster, about F5521gw.
And of course I am talking about the Sony Tablet P marketed by AT&T, the 3G version, which I own. The question by the other poster, is about a Japanese version, but regarding swapping the modem card, the process is the same.
The thing is that how hard it is to change the modem card should not be a question to me, but rather to cdwangxd since it is he who suggested it, but why didn't you ask him about this earlier on? But questioning me now about this, as I am not the person suggesting it, but the person questioning your answer about "not applicable" and wanting further information and clarification.
I don't know the schematics of this device, but do you? If you don't why did you claim it is "not applicable", in which and what way?
Not only others have mentioned about replacing F5521gw cards on various forum posts (forgot which forum at this point), I have opened up my device and can confirm that it is a F5521gw card which is (naturally) removable from its m-PCIe socket. And it is not soldered on the main board.
And as for who would do it for you and for how much, this is rarely a question on xda here. Most xda members prefer to do things themselves and some are more hardware savvy and some are less. It took me a 2nd try to find the edges to pop out the top cover, but it is not that hard. Granted I have some experience in hardware so I am not suggesting everyone trying the same thing. Again, I am not the person who suggested swapping the card, so I am not sure why you are directing the risks and dangers (possible) to me instead of cdwangxd who suggested this (whom you did not say any of these for those times).
I have put back the original modem now, but if I have another one (let's say an unlocked generic one) in front of me now, I can swap the whole thing in 10 minutes, start to finish. So may be this is not easy for some, I am sure some people including myself, can do this.
The problem here is your sense of logic. It can make our debate difficult. Let me make an example:
1.cdwangxd said the sun rises from the east.
2. you came back saying that the sun does not rise from the east (basically my interpretation of what "not applicable" means without any other substantiation, which you still failed to refer back to what you mean. And I am sure you mean "no" basically.)
3. I asked if you have any back up saying that the sun doesn't rise from the east, surely I have some doubts but want to give you a chance.
4. You came back saying that since I don't have proof that the sun does rise from the east, then I cannot question your response.
So in your logic, the sun does not rise from the east only because I cannot provide proof. Where is your logic? For anything you state, the onus is on you to proof, not for the one questioning it, as that'd be "begging the question" if not more paradoxical.
My intent is simple and pure. cdwangxd has a suggestion that I have also read about elsewhere, but there hasn't been a reported case of success. Moreover, there are various models of F5521gw on eBay, some are named generic, Dell or HP, and some claimed generic are actually Dell. It is important to find out what works, before buying as it is rather hard to return for refund over eBay. Other sources are more expensive, and usually foreign and thus, also hard to return.
I put that question out to you, because cdwangxd provided a method (which I have read elsewhere to be same), that is plausible. You brushed it off with a one liner, which could be the most critical part. If you are right afterall, then there is no need to go shop for a F5521gw, saving the money and effort. So your response is deemed critical and thus I have a valid reason of wanting a confirmation.
But you prefer to beat around the bush, questioning everything else, including putting the onus back to me, instead of answering the question: why did you respond with that line? Under what kind of information have you gotten and if you are prepared to share.
My delay in 2 weeks doesn't mean the truth can be altered. If it works or not, 2 weeks does not make a difference. Please stop having excuses after excuses.
And last but not least, since you did not even know for sure if the modem inside is F5521gw, removeable or not, how dare you said that cdwangxd's suggestion is "not applicable"? It is beyond that you have read wrong info about this, it is that you simply didn't even know until now (as I said earlier here). You simply had as much as a guess, but you put the line as short and abrupt (end all and be all). So basically my original calling you out on this, isn't far from what I suspected: you didn't know what you were talking about, simple as that.

But regardless, to give you the benefit of the doubt, I simply asked you one more time to give you a chance to explain further. But you came back with an answer about unlock code, and nothing about what was about the response you made to the other poster, about F5521gw.
And of course I am talking about the Sony Tablet P marketed by AT&T, the 3G version, which I own. The question by the other poster, is about a Japanese version, but regarding swapping the modem card, the process is the same.
The thing is that how hard it is to change the modem card should not be a question to me, but rather to cdwangxd since it is he who suggested it, but why didn't you ask him about this earlier on? But questioning me now about this, as I am not the person suggesting it, but the person questioning your answer about "not applicable" and wanting further information and clarification.
I don't know the schematics of this device, but do you? If you don't why did you claim it is "not applicable", in which and what way?
Not only others have mentioned about replacing F5521gw cards on various forum posts (forgot which forum at this point), I have opened up my device and can confirm that it is a F5521gw card which is (naturally) removable from its m-PCIe socket. And it is not soldered on the main board.
And as for who would do it for you and for how much, this is rarely a question on xda here. Most xda members prefer to do things themselves and some are more hardware savvy and some are less. It took me a 2nd try to find the edges to pop out the top cover, but it is not that hard. Granted I have some experience in hardware so I am not suggesting everyone trying the same thing. Again, I am not the person who suggested swapping the card, so I am not sure why you are directing the risks and dangers (possible) to me instead of cdwangxd who suggested this (whom you did not say any of these for those times).
I have put back the original modem now, but if I have another one (let's say an unlocked generic one) in front of me now, I can swap the whole thing in 10 minutes, start to finish. So may be this is not easy for some, I am sure some people including myself, can do this.
The problem here is your sense of logic. It can make our debate difficult. Let me make an example:
1.cdwangxd said the sun rises from the east.
2. you came back saying that the sun does not rise from the east (basically my interpretation of what "not applicable" means without any other substantiation, which you still failed to refer back to what you mean. And I am sure you mean "no" basically.)
3. I asked if you have any back up saying that the sun doesn't rise from the east, surely I have some doubts but want to give you a chance.
4. You came back saying that since I don't have proof that the sun does rise from the east, then I cannot question your response.
So in your logic, the sun does not rise from the east only because I cannot provide proof. Where is your logic? For anything you state, the onus is on you to proof, not for the one questioning it, as that'd be "begging the question" if not more paradoxical.
My intent is simple and pure. cdwangxd has a suggestion that I have also read about elsewhere, but there hasn't been a reported case of success. Moreover, there are various models of F5521gw on eBay, some are named generic, Dell or HP, and some claimed generic are actually Dell. It is important to find out what works, before buying as it is rather hard to return for refund over eBay. Other sources are more expensive, and usually foreign and thus, also hard to return.
I put that question out to you, because cdwangxd provided a method (which I have read elsewhere to be same), that is plausible. You brushed it off with a one liner, which could be the most critical part. If you are right afterall, then there is no need to go shop for a F5521gw, saving the money and effort. So your response is deemed critical and thus I have a valid reason of wanting a confirmation.
But you prefer to beat around the bush, questioning everything else, including putting the onus back to me, instead of answering the question: why did you respond with that line? Under what kind of information have you gotten and if you are prepared to share.
My delay in 2 weeks doesn't mean the truth can be altered. If it works or not, 2 weeks does not make a difference. Please stop having excuses after excuses.
And last but not least, since you did not even know for sure if the modem inside is F5521gw, removeable or not, how dare you said that cdwangxd's suggestion is "not applicable"? It is beyond that you have read wrong info about this, it is that you simply didn't even know until now (as I said earlier here). You simply had as much as a guess, but you put the line as short and abrupt (end all and be all). So basically my original calling you out on this, isn't far from what I suspected: you didn't know what you were talking about, simple as that.

I'll take your point here:
Why are you directing all your replies to me and not to cdwangxd?
In my first reply to you I clearly mentioned that I'm not more knowledgeable than you (I'm not an expert) and that the info I'm posting is based on my research trying to unlock my Tablet P and for mentioning that it's "not applicable" is because it didn't cross my mind that someone would do what you did (so, kudos to you).
As you were brave enough to do what you did to your Tablet P (for sure more brave than me) so you were close enough to know the details about what you were asking me.
Furthermore, why didn't you try it yourself? I'm not that brave ti open my Tablet P to figure it out.
Finally, again, if you ever find the way just inform and lead the way and I will follow.
Can someone tell me if this is a legit root for the Verizon Sony Xperia Z3v?
http://www.how-to-root.club/mp3-0/sony-xperia-z3v-6796.html
or this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH89pJLWfKg
Or is it all a scam? I tried looking for the first one through XDA cause they are claiming they rewrote the tutorial from XDA
It's a scam
First link, I just judge by what color ring my WOT icon is, and it's yellow. So no, not trusted.
Second link, look at how many dislikes compared to likes. So...nope! xD
If anything, someone who's notable would come out around these parts (on XDA) to make announcements that our phones is getting root with his/her proven work, that's where you should be getting from.
Edit: For the first link, you could even try navigating around the website. All of the links ends up back at that one page. Don't fall for stuff like this, trust in the true Lollipop update when it comes. lol

I don't know if it's a scam (will install malicious sw if you try it) or just someone who didn't know what they're talking about (regurgitated content that doesn't apply to us). First, z3v is not on the supported devices for the root process. Neither is the regular z3. As far as Lollipop, the instructions require an unlocked bootloader, which we don't have.
Wonder if one of those is the Ransomware that is going around? Install the malicious app and your phone is locked down until you pay a "ransom" to get it unlocked.

Technology got too far to be able to do this, yet I somehow believe it.
Thanks everyone I knew it was too good to be true. XDA guys have the greatest minds! . I hope there will be a root for our phone before lollipop comes out
asking for help
Hey everyone. .am from algeria and I really love this phone ! But am wondering if this phone will be able to work in my country. ..I mean in algeria with our service... please give me an answer.... am waiting.. thanks...
Yes it should work. This phone is Sim unlocked.
wondering
Is the xperia z3v better and faster than the xperia z3 !!
I really want to buy the xperia z3v ... and the xperia z3 !!! It's hard to choose. ...
help me please. ..
Well with you already being international I would recommend the Z3 with it being a global phone. I'm not certain which one would take advantage of your towers the easiest.
And with the international version, you get root and a two day battery life. Plus higher ISO sensitivity with your only drawbacks in pink circles appearing on your pictures and maybe faulty wrist straps that ruin waterproof.
Eh...

This doesn't sound like a scam at all.
