Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum.
I recently bought an Xperia Mini pro and would like to completely unlock it.
I saw some peoples who remotely unlock those phones with SETool.
There is also a software called Omnius and would like to know if it can unlock SIM, fastboot and bootloader on Xperia Mini Pro SK17i, this isn't specified in any post.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Hy!
Yes, you can unlock it with Omnius, I unlocked my phone today in this way.
You need to buy one Android Single Unlock license.
Thank you Sir.
Done.
sorry to bump old thread.. will this work for carrier locked phones bootloaders also? or just sim lock and leave bootloader locked with no fast boot?
Omnius just deals with SIM-lock (and works well: I unlocked my SK17i this way). You need to then use another method (eg Doomlord's) to root. HTH.
Does anyone know if omnius unlock will work if the "allow bootloader unlock: no" setting is present? Can't seem to find any information about this on their website.
I hate my carrier so much...
thx

Yes, because mine didn't allow unlocking the bootloader, and I unlocked it with the "Android single unlock" license by Omnius.
Thanks for clarifying that. I assumed that was the case, but I wanted to check before handing over the monies!
Hi, first of all please forgive if this is not the right thread for posting this, now i have some question if somebody can help me. Network/sim lock is the same thing ? My bootloader is unlockable and after i enter the code for unlocking in the menu next to network to box is checked with an X, this mean my phone has one of these locks ? And finally i've read that s1tool can remove sim lock, does anyone knows if it safe to use with xperia p and if is this will make my bootloader unlockable ? Thanks, don't be to harsh.
I asked for full unlock (make bootloader unlockable) Alejandrissimo MR from http://unlock-bootloader.com and he gave me answer:
"New Xperia NTX phones has new security, so there is no way to unlock those phones at the present.
As all new phones the new security has the old security holes patched and find another weak point will take some time.
I'm sure there will be a solution in the future, maybe near future.
Greetings."
so then it will be possible at a certain time
I just enter network/SIM unlock code in my Xperia P and bootloader unlocked allow still say NO
So the conclusion is that removing network/SIM lock does not change bootloader unlocked status
why the bl is locked then i had xperia play and x10 and both unlocked

I went to my network operator and pay for code. But it didn't do any well with locked bootloader except now I can use SIM card from any other operator...

I honestly don't know. I'm very angry on Sony because of this and definitely wont buy any Sony phone in the future.
My network operator told me to insert SIM card from any other operator and when I do that a opo up dialog came up requesting from me to enter network unlock code. I entered provided code and in Service/Configuration Unlocked bootloader allowed still said NO :crying:
Carrier branded versions of phones are generally not unockable as stated by sony.
To sim unlock the phone with a code wont change the bootloader lock/unlock status
Actually nothing will change this status.
So all we can hope is that somebody can do the same to the P than to the S: install CWM despite locked bootloader.

Well, this depends ONLY on your network operator. If you buy a contract cheap phone from provider, the provider is in the position to make the choice if they give you a unlockable or non-unlockable bootloader. This is NOT sonys decision, be mad with your operator or yourself for buying a phone from them instead a free one. It is the same for all manufacters.
Regards
So my operator can unlock the bootloader?

Hi, sorry to be a pain, but does this mean that xperia s cannot be unlocked for now?, what if i manage to unlock the bootloader and flash a CFW, will that unlock the sim status? i hope someone could answer me
No, it won't.
There is just one case (movil in spain) where the provider requested at Sony to provide bootloader via the online system.
but this is a very special case.
netlock unlock is decoupled from bootloader unlock. the IMEIs of phone delivered to provides with netlock are not in their online system so no unlock code for the bootloader can be generated even if you get an unlock code for the netlock
but... in my xperia p i have network/sim lock YES, why ?
Thread moved as it is in the wrong section. Do not post Q & A threads in Dev section.
Hi there,
Any news regarding SIM lock unlock?
I have a friend who has this phone, bought from T and he wants to use a Voda sim card in it.
Is it possible, without paying a lot to T to tell the unlock code?
Thanks in advance!

I had the same situation I went to the guy, he took off me simlock and unlock the bootloader unlocked this way :laugh:
Only removing SIM-lock is not enough.
Depending on when your phone is manufactured, it may be possible. Check the manufacturing date, it is under the battery. If it is before 12W11 (year 2012, week 11), then it is possible. Otherwise, no.
There is 11W36. Do you know some tutorial for unlock this "unlockable bootloader" ?
isn't it dangerous? does it work?
I did it via wotanserver, but it's not free.
No homemade way??
I bought my Z2 from EE in the uk and i was very sad to find out that EE and other carriers stop you from unlocking the bootloader. So if i sim unlock my phone from EE, will i be able to unlock the bootloader? If not is there any other way i can make it say yes??

No and no.
This has been answered before. If you bootloader is locked, there is no practical way to unlock it.
I'm planning to import a brand new Japan version of Pixel 6 from a shop. I was told that the phone is not locked to any specific carrier and can be used on any network. Since the phone is not carrier locked, is that mean the bootloader can also be unlocked? Is there any relation between locked carrier and locked bootloader? I wanna buy a phone which can have unlocked bootloader. The shop people said they won't be able to check OEM Unlocking status.
you can unlock the bootloader. I have Japanese version and i changed the model to International and again locked it.
Have a look here.
Cheers
Tom
