hi
my friend has a sony xperia mini pro (sk17i) locked to orange with all the orange crap branding
he wants to unlock it to put a o2 simcard in it and wants to put cyanogen on to it
i had a htc desire and now have lg optimus 2x so i know about flashing roms and stuff
how do i go about unlocking it
thanks
First step:
Read in the Dev section.
hi yes i have looked at
http://androidflip.com/how-to-root-sony-xperia-x10-arc-arcs-play-ray-neo-mini-minipro-pro-active/
but it doesnt say anything about sim unlocking the phone
you need to input a password when you put other sim card on your phone didn't you?
if so, you need to have sim unlock password which you can get it by searching the keyword "sim unlock service" on google.
but if the sim unlock password screen didn't appear, you have to flash your rom first.
I was setupping facial recognition lock and put a ping code for "more security" now i try to unlock my phone and it doesnt recognice that pin! Is there any way i can reset it? thanks
r u talking about ur phone ? Or somebody else phone ....
Press Thanks - if it helps you..
hi guys
I would like to ask if someone know how to modify the ICS pin unlock so that i only need to input the numbers, then it can unlock automatically without press the OK button. anyone knows how to do that?
dear all;
I tried to flash my xperia x10 mini pro with flashtool and msm7227 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225); and after rebooting my mobile, I get a small red cross over the network bars, and when I tried to detect my operator manually, I get a message telling me (your sim can't access to this operator!)...PS the same sim is working normally on my Nokia!
what to do ....
great thanks in advance for your help!

My guess is that the simlock-certificate on your phone was incompatible with your try to unlock the bootloader, which results in loss of radio-capability (and that means gsm/3g) There are about three different methods of unlocking your bootloader in the link you posted, if none of them work you're out of luck i would think.
great thanks smg; this means that if I'm not able to find a way to unlock my bootloader, I'll loos my radio-capability for ever!!! ???

Relock it first, usually your radio-capability comes back. (Provided you didn't flash a custom kernel yet, that should work fine, otherwise go back to stock firmware first)
If it comes back and you can't successfully unlock your bootloader, you're just limited to roms that don't require a custom kernel.
By the way: usually you can get a code from your provider in order to sim-unlock your phone, mine charges for it during the initial contractperiod, but after that they provide it for free. If you sim-unlock your phone using that code you're safe to unlock your bootloader too.
If you use third-party software to sim-unlock your phone, your mileage may vary (third-party apps use dirty hacks to do it, some hacks are supported by the bootloader unlocker some are not)
I had the same. My SIM-Card doesn't work and so I test my dad's SIM-Card and my brother's SIM-Card. But no one work. So i send my X10mini pro to Sony Ericsson and they repair it. I tryed to unluck the Bootloader twice and now it work I hadn.t problems! Now I'm happy with MINICM9

Hello.
I have the same problem.
What tutorial/choice did you made for your phone to work successefully with MiniCM9?
I've installed MiniCM7 in my X10 mini.
Where do I insert the carrier unlock code supplied by my carrier?
it should prompt you
Put in an unsupported sim xard and turn on phone
Sent from a big ass phone
I believe this issue was solved, It didn't give the prompt in MiniCM7 but flashing back to stock firmware worked.

minicm7 ask for code, but you can bypass it
