Hi, ive rooted my xperia x10, however, I want to unlock my xperia x10 from orange, is there anyway to radio s-off my phone so I could unlock the sim?
You cannot unlock this phone, by the way you have mentioned before.
I think you are thinking about the HTC Desire method?
Orange will provide you with the unlock code for £15 provided the contract is over 6 months old. Not sure if they will do it for phones aquired from elsewhere (ebay ect) but give them a call anyway. They can only tell you to piss off.

your best bet is to get the unlock code from your network provider if you are out of contract!

I bought a locked orange X10 and unlocked it with a code so I could use my tmobile simcard in it. However, I updated to 2.1 and now its relocked itself. I talked to a sony ericsson person and they said this was meant to happen because when it was updated it was restored to factory settings and they said I could use the same code to unlock it but I don't have this code anymore so they said I had no choice but to buy another code. Thats another £20 Is there a way I can unlock it again without buying a code again.
As of right now, no, there is no other way to SIM-unlock our x10's without handing over cash to someone.

I thought sim unlocking was supposed to be permanent. It's not fair that just because I updated I now have to potentially payanother £30 to get the phone unlocked AGAIN
i bought already unlocked x10, rogers branded (canada)
also had same fear to get a locked phone after update to 2.1
i even wrote to rogers support to investigate, they said they dont know it the phone will lock again.
se support didnt even answered....
BUT, i took the risk and updated to 2.1, the phone never locked.
hope it wont lock upgrading to 2.3
It will only be permanent (to the best of my knowledge) if we get an unlocked bootloader, because it gives us direct access to where SIM-lock is stored, and don't expect one from SE. So until Maxrfon and the_laser settle their argument and give us something to work with, or another genius unlocks it, im afraid you'll just have to pay for another code.

Yes, if the phone was originally unlocked, it _shouldn't_ lock it self.
EDIT: I may be wrong however, so don't quote me

Is the phone only sim locked on a software level? Would changing the firmware unlock it?
I've never had any complaints about relocking itself tho.

I want to unlock my ATRIX so I can sell it to anyone in the gsm network.
How do I get the unlock code without paying some website?
Is there an app for this or pc program you can recommend?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've heard u can call the provider but I paid $2 on eBay and got one.
I don't want to pay because I go through so many phones I would have to pay every 3-4 months for the unlock code.
I don't think the carrier would give me so many unlock codes a year.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
If you bought your phone from a carrier, call the carrier, tell them you are going out of the country on vacation/business, and need the unlock code. They should give it to you with no problems.
If you bought from another source, do what the other poster said.
That's my problem...... I bought it off ebay with no contract.
I go through 4 phone s a year. Hoped someone could hook me up with a program that did it or I can buy and use over and over for each phone.

He was talking about SIM unlocking, not bootloader unlocking.
there's no free SIM unlocking program AFAIK, if the code is not from your carrier.
I don't need it be free. I just need a program to buy and use it for any gsm phone I get to unlock it.

I believe the SIM unlock code is per phone (the code for each phone is different). I saw someone posted some reputable web sites before, search for it.
He's each code is based on the manufacture and the IEMI number.
Just thought I could get an application for under $150 that has all the manufacturers and IEMIs on a database.
Just didn't want to pay and find a reputable website for each phone manufacturer.

Thanks. I will try my carrier - since its not bought from them I might not be granted this but I will stress I have been public valued customer for 7yrs with 3line. Might get me the code.
If not I will use your link. Thanks.
My main goal is to unlock this and throw it on eBay as an unlocked phone with no contract and mention root. This should allow the phone to sell for a higher price.
Thanks for all your help.

Called the carrier and BAM! in under 30 seconds they emailed me the unlock code.
Thanks everyone.

as far as i can gather, you can obtain a unlock code from your provider, which will probably cost, also several services online offer unlocking services for a price obviously, but from what i have read these codes to unlock the simlock, dont gaurantee you can unlock the bootloader afterwards, which is important should you wish to flash custom roms/kernels
i hope this is correct, and hopefully i will be corrected if not

Hi, I'm in the UK and looking at buying the xperia u for my sister. However it is locked on either o2 or Vodafone, depending on where I buy it from.
My question is how do I unlock the phone to make it sim free, I want to put a t mobile sim in there.
Do I root the phone to make it sim free? Or is there some other method.
Thanks for any help.

Buy it from phones4u and it'll be unlocked. No rooting doesn't unlock
Also depending on what she wants it for the 'U' isn't that great really. If you're buying it out right then get an S off eBay. They go for only around 120-150 area

O2 will unlock it for free if you have a contract with them (or get someone with a contract to do it).
CPW stock is also unlocked.
You have to install a Custom Rom

are you sure this will work?
Installing a custom rom or rooting the device will not make your phon sim free. If you want a network unlocked phone get it factory unlocked otherwis you will end paying for an unlocking service.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Unlock codes can be purchased online for just a few bucks. Idk if I'm allowed to list sites here or not but here is the one I use the most for unlocking phones Cellunlocker.net I've unlock alot of phones with their service for just a few bucks. I think the last time I unlocked a Atrix 4G it cost about $15

I'm assuming by "unlock" you mean unlocking the bootloader and then flash a custom rom. This wouldn't gsm unlock a phone to a different carrier.

when i unlocked mine it now shows all networks when i have no sim card installed. havent tried another carriers sim card in it to see if it works sorry if i was incorrect.
I'm on the same boat, I bought an Atrix 4g on amazon which was supposed to be gsm unlocked, but the only thing it had unlocked was the bootloader. I couldn't return it since I'm from Venezuela so I have to look for a way to unlock it.
I went to a store where they do this kind of stuff, the guy had some "zunzun" software to do it but it said something about the firmware being incompatible (android 2.3.6 4.5.141), I guess if downgrading doesn't work I'll end up buying an unlock code on one of those websites. I preferred the other method because I can pay with the local coin instead of buying expensive dollars...
@rdz420, please update if you manage to unlock it.
I've unlocked my Atrix 4G here, they are legit and it's cheap.

Take in mind that some AT&T phones can't be unlocked via code.. that's what they told me. (Mine is UK Orange, so I could unlock it :good
hey guys
I did not unlock the phone yet, but I spent a few shops that do unlocking here in Brazil, the majority says that the cel need to try to generate the code, but how they are generating the code? will be a trusted site?
Besides this method gave some research on kernel change, it seems that with the change of kernel + rom the phone would be unlocked with the network. right? anyone have any positive experience in the area?
thanks
Bootloader unlock = you can flash roms
sim unlock = you can use on other networks
One does not rely on the other, and i haven't seen any issues with one affecting the other

As @palmbeach05 said, both are independant. Bootloader unlock (thus installing new roms and kernels) doesn't unlock for any carrier and sim unlock by itself won't allow you to install new roms and kernels.
