Hey everyone,
so, a friend of mine (female, of course) has been in Canada for a year now and bought the mentioned Xperia Mini Pro there, apparently with sim- or netlock.
The guy in the store told her, she should ask a friend back in Germany, because they would know how to unlock. Haha, store-guy.
So, I need you. Is there a way, to unlock the phone from Rogers for free? If not, where can I get a cheap, working code? (preferred in Euro)
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I need a little help and direction.. I bought an ATT branded Xperia X10a 2 months back by paying in full (400USD + tax). Used it for the time with ATT pay and go sim and upgraded it to 2.1 X10i (was at 1.6 X10a). Now, I want to move to other service provider and so i want a carrier unlock.
What is the best way here? Should I call ATT (i dont have an account with them, so it has been difficult to get through the crappy customer service calls)?? Or should I contact Sony Ericsson? Or a third party vendor?

You can buy a unlock code, calculated by IMEI, google for "x10 unlock code"
by the way, it is not cheap

Thanks, as per your suggestion, i tried out some of the unlocker sites like unlocking.com and cellunlocker.net. Both refunded my money back saying they dont have a unlock for me. Mobileincanada cannot do it too, since they dont have an unlock for ATT devices only Rogers.
I am not sure what should be the next step.

Go here and PM Lancez. I unlocked two AT&T X10a's through him. It's $36.50.
So Much to unlock the X10
Anyone knows why the X10 seemingly cost more to unlock than other phones?

because Sony Ericsson's unlock codes are not IMEI based, they are randomly generated. you have to have direct access to their database.

Yeah it was free. I actually did two x10's at the same time. It wasn't particularly difficult... I just called the regional number and told them that I wanted to unlock my phone for use with another carrier. Make sure to specify removing carrier restriction, because they assume you mean the PUK unlock code (totally different code) unless you specify.
Don't bother calling at&t. They told me flat out that they didn't have a single unlock code for the x10. ( maybe they're fibbing though?)

Hi. Which Sonny Ericsson center did you call? I contacted them by email and they told me to go ask ATT, while ATT says that they don't have the code. Thanks!
hey guys i just bought an optimus one, i like it but its sim locked.
can anyone recommend a good website where i can buy an unlock code from ?
thx !
phone is locked on vodafone romania ^_^
You should head to your local phone service provider and they should do it for you. Not more than $10 US.
In my country , they do it for free.

Hi everyone, I am a Hong Kong netizen, and my name is Ming
Yesterday, I received a X10 Mini from an aunt that lived in UK 2 years ago.
She said that she had not use this phone since her immigration to Hong Kong, she gave that to me.
I am going to give this phone to my dad to replace his Sony Ericsson K770i. But I found that this phone cannot use Hong Kong's SIM card.
Even I think there is a SIM Lock.
What I'm going to ask is: any solution to make the lock disappear?
Can it be flashed to a Jellybean rom in order to make it easier to use and lower its power consumption?
Thank YOU :angel:

For a sim-unlock you'd have to ask the provider for an emma/imei code to unlock it (it might be free after the initial contract-period), all other methods of unlocking will cost you some money, and with those it is not necessarily guaranteed that you would be able to unlock the bootloader without losing your network. (which you would need to do. If you want a JB-type ROM you need a custom kernel)
And as for JB, it is possible to install, but it won't lower your power-consumption. For this phone a Gingerbread based rom still is the best option, and if you want JB-style ease of use, look into GingerDX or something like that.
Hi guys,
I have an Xperia X10 which was purchased with an Orange contract but would like to give it to my younger brother since I've now got a new phone. The problem is my X10 is locked onto Orange and my brother is on Tesco. Is there a way to unlock the phone? I assume I can take the phone to Orange and they will unlock it for me but I'm sure they will charge for this. Is there a way to unlock it for free?
Any help would be very much appreciated

They made it illegal in the us without asking your carrier
So try to call your carrier and ask for sim unlock code

You can make a unlock code request to orange by calling their customer care executive.But i don't know how much they are charge to unlock your Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 phone.But they will ask you to wait for some days or even some months to provide unlock code.Also they won't
give the code at free of cost.So better you can get the code from online provider like Theunlockarena.com .

This type of post is frustrating. If you want to promote a site, just be upfront about it.
Our name on here is mobileunlocked and if we ever link to ourselves, it's to be useful for people who are actually still looking for help. Not threads were the person clearly doesn't need advice any more.

Network Lock
Please HELP...
is there any way to unlock network or sim unlock by flashing or debranding it? or changing firmware on it?
I have Sony Xperia SO-01b NTT DOCOMO and i would like to unlock network on it or sim unlock on it.
I am looking to buy a second hand Xperia Z2, but it is on the EE network in the UK. As I am on o2 I'd need to get it unlocked, and was wondering if anyone could confirm if it's possible, and easiest/cheapest way to do this.
There are some unlock codes for sale on ebay, but I have no experience in knowing if these are any good
thanks

I bought code from electronic shop.
I know they ordered code from web based in my IMEI but I don't know where from.
Just find seller that will offer guarantee - so if code doesn't work you can ask for new or money return...
I unlocked Z1 that way and it worked without any problems...
