Hi, I've just bought an XDA 2 off contract, SIM FREE. However even though it's not locked to a network when you put a non-O2 sim card in it asks for an unlock code.
Does anybody know the unlock code to make it SIM FREE, or is it specific to each device???
Which means it is locked to a network, namely O2, the only way to get the unlock at the moment is from O2.

I met the same problem. I sent email to O2 Data support and explain situation. They asked me copy of the receipt, model number and IMEI of the unit. And at least i've got code. So, you must proof that you bought unit off contract.
can you tell me the email address you sent it to?
thanks

O2 have unlocked my xda2,
I provided them with imei only and they were very helpful, if only they could start to make their xda's unlocked in future so that we dont all have this trouble.
o2 are impossible!!
i think i need a miracle to get a unlatching code any time soon!
any miracle workers out there contact me plzzz!!
thanking u in advance
Well, I'm also waiting for a miracle, after several hours on the phone with no results....and from France , it's a lot of money....for nothing !!!
i bought the XDA2 @ expansys (ok it s more expensive) but i get the unlock code included in the package on a paper sheet as well and it worked perfectly on French and belgian networks
Hi ! Cyberbob, after an ultimate call to O2 , i'll probably do like you and sell my xda2 locked as a simple pda ....
But don't believe it's more expensive on Expansys (LOL !) , I have paid 1030 euros to the guy who bought the xda2 for me in Uk , plus around 8 hours of phone calls to UK from france....so I think , Expansys price is not so bad , and your xda2 is sim free ! :wink:
the price for exclusivity of having the first XDA2 in France
i guess it will be to bad to sell it as a simple PDA i hope you ll find a better solution

S'up guys, just won my boss's X10, its locked on Rogers and I already own 2 Android based phones.
I'd like to know if there is a way to use it as a media player/web browser (my son would love to play with this one!) without the sim card or without paying for an unlock code??
I heard of te "bootloader bypass", can this be a solution for me??
Well, can't you remove SIM card and turn it on?
No it wont work that way. i had rogers locked x10. it will show u imergency dial pad only. u need unlocked phone as per i know.
Search the market for wosim. Will do exactly what u want

My unbranded and SIM locked Xperia X8 works without SIM card. Maybe Rogers' branding disables functionality without SIM? Try flashing generic firmware.
Ok, wosim...... all writen in chinese.......
For flashing generic OS, dont I need access to the phone first???
buy a sim card and just don't set it up.....
buying a rogers sim is more expensive that unlocking codes.........??

Unless it changed by a new method, you need a SIM card from another network to unlock it anyways no? Get one on eBay from AT&T for a dollar if you want to unlock it.
Wosim worked like a charm, thx kieronw3
Sim cards are only like 5 or ten bucks

hi xda developers!
my uncle sent me an xperia x10 which is originally orange locked so i want to unlock it to use here in philippines. i tried to bring it to the technicians and they're charging me lot of cost and i don't even have a visa card or credit card to buy unlock codes or software online...so can you guys please help me to sort this problem out? please
You can't unlock the phone. There is a software mod to unlock but not sure if you can find it. You will have to buy the code/unlock . I don't see anything else
Damn there was a site for this that was free! Only I forgot it... I will try to search for it for you!
thanks so much! will greatly appreciate your help to sort this out...thanks!
i just noticed, where did my other comment go? is there something wrong with my post?
Do you mean sim locked?
yes it is....
hey guys can you please check this out?
it says that it can unlock sony ericsson mobile phones for free but unfortunately i can't also download it here in our country.

waiting for the end of the contract
maybe u`re thinking about http://www.omnius-server.com/, but they can`t unlock x10, only 90% of se models can be unlocked for free by that site

is there any other way i can unlock my x10 for free?
Yeah, I think Omnius *used* to have an option to unlock the X10 for free during a promotional period about a year ago for a couple weeks. I'm not sure if they could have done any of the Orange branded X10s.
Unfortunately, Orange is one of the most difficult (and costly) phones to unlock. The absolutely cheapest way for you to unlock it is to call Orange and see if they'll be kind enough to unlock it (I think Orange UK charges 20-25 Pounds or so, unsure of Orange France).
Only other option is to go with one of the remote unlockers. There are a couple companies that can send you a code with your IMEI but expect to wait around 25 days to save a few (and i do mean, few) dollars.

even at the end of the contract, the phone will not unlock itself.

no but service provider (orange) will unlock it for free after 6 months of contract.
hey
i just started browsing around for you and whenever i got a carrier locked phone i always used IMEI unlock codes
try this http://www.cellunlocker.net/blog/2010/06/how-to-unlock-sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/
thanks for all your response, actually orange uk is charging 20 pounds to unlock it but unfortunately my uncle wasn't able to organize it as it was already sent to me via dhl. i don't know if they will still allow it to be unlocked as it's already here in philippines. I've been trying to browse around the unlockers to get a code or software to unlock it but as what i've seen there are lots of issues like:
on htccode what i saw just now is their system is seem down as per some client's recent posts who are wanting to get their money back.
and some other unlockers offer the code but will have to wait for 5-10 days. i know this is absurd but i have an itchy hand now so i really want to unlock it really quick and use it right away.
anyway thanks to all of you... if i get to unlock this soon i will post it here.
Hi! I'm also looking for the cheapest code, but for now, the winner is mrunlock for 20 pounds... I don't know if I can trust it... Have you find something cheaper???
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

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.
Stop trying to destroy a good thing on XDA.
