I purchased Dell Streak from UK which is O2 locked. ...am new to all this Android / Dell Streak etc & had thought while buying that it can be carrier unlocked using some version update / flash etc.
Now that I am back to India & when tried using will local carrier SIM, phone its not working, saying its SIM locked.
After reading on xda for last 2-3 days am not sure if updating to StreakDroid 1.7.0 etc is going to unlock the phone or not because there is no clear mention of the same.
Can someone with experience on front pls let me know if flashing to StreakDroid 1.7.0 will help in getting phone unlocked or not?
Thanks in advance.
No it will not unlock your phone. You can use one of those unlocking services on the internet to get the unlock code.

Thanks for the reply DanielNTX So I guess will have to spend some more money before making this device useful in India.
Hello dear developers
now that x10mini boot in unlocked will it be possible also do unlock network / sim lock?
regards
Hi
am not developer myself,
but if you search the forum for sim unlock
you will find many threads (maybe some tut's).
It is possible to unlock the sim
without unlocking bootloader
Good luck
EDIT: Have to correct myself
There are some websites where you can pay
for unlocking your sim.
It's like you would give it to SE for repairing
BUT ask some members who did this before!
hi. i cannot find any thread on unlocking x10 mini
can anybody help?
You can not unlock your sim to any network on this forum. The only way as you was told in a early post is to go to a web site and pay for a unlock code.

Hi everyone,
I have a X10a BL unlocked right now using MIUI Oddie v10 default kernel (FXP).
And about 4 day ago in my country every company is offering free sim unlock for all cell-phone. (we got a new law ).
We can achieve the sim unlocking introducing the IMEI of our cellphone and our cell-number in the carrier web page, but the PIN they send me is not working only in this phone.
Do i need to downgrade my firmware bts?
Thank you.

You could try the Flash tool given to us by Bin4ry and flash generic then follow the standard rom guide, thats how i did mine unlocked from Vodafone to originally get 2.3 standard, but lead to more xD
Xperia X10i
DonutHD 2.3.4
SE Kernel
Relock ur bootloader then try pal. If it works, don't unlock again (unless u used s1tool u may lose radio).

Hi guys. I recently bought U20i and i want to remove sim lock on it.
I am not serious unlocker or seasoned phone cracker but i used to unlock my nokia and my SE via some usb cables i think decade ago LOL. From my experience one need to know exact phone spec and according to this there should be some archives and programs which can be executed to sim unlock phone.
I already tried to use search option and i've read quite some threads without any success. I see similar threads already exist here but they all mostly end up in arguing about something other with no real and relevant resource. Some say that it can't be done freely, some say that can be done only via ordering unlocking code, some claim that they did it by flashing rom etc.etc. Very confusing. Also i am bad at english so it's pretty hard to find what i want. Hopefully you'll take my honest apology for opening same thread all over again but i really hope that this time someone will post some results.
So basically here are my question:
Can i SIM unlock this one via my own usb cable and some sort of flasher,patcher or whatever is called? If answer is no then no if yes could you provide link with tutorial?
Once when phone is sim unlokced can i put custom android on it without loosing sim unlock capability? I am asking this since i read here that some people loosed their sim unlock after they applied custom android. Could it be the case or this is just some sort of user side error..?
Is there any benefit to upgrade my phone with custom android? I have 2.1update1. If i upgrade to bigger version am i going to get something special or just different look of icons?
But mainly i am interested in sim unlock. If there is some sort of debranding involved etc. i really don't care i can accept whole new factory settings, just as long as phone will support english.
Thanks in advance for any help
i think you should be able to sim unlock your phone whit this
http://omnius-server.com/
but i'm not sure about it i've never tried it, just read about it in some post.
wait for someone with more experience before trying it
Thanks matte. I just checked site. Seems ok. If one day license will allow me to make permanent unlock then it seems worth it. I mean this:
Full and permanent unlock
Allows you to perform the permanent change of the network lock status of your phone. After further flashing or customization it will remain unchanged.

Then just receive the nik code to unlock! Sadly this only work for Chile :c
rophiroth thanks for help. It won't work for me though. I am from Europe. Thanks anyway.
Anyone with omnius experience?
There are a few people here who have used Omnius. I don't believe it's free. I'm not aware if you can unlock this free yourself, but I am interested too so I'm subscribing to this.
As for re-locking via new ROMS, I thought that only happened in some situations when unlocking the bootloader. The bootloader unlocking threads mention that some people have had a relock but that's not the case for everyone and I believe it might be if you do something wrong.
Ok guys i sent email to Omnius. If they give me positive answer i'll do it with them and I'll report it here clearly, i mean my results. So in future everyone will know about this.
Kind regards
My phone was sim unlocked when I have been unlocking bootloader.

You simply need to wait for results. At the moment everything seems a bit tedious about U20i sim unlocking. Please be patient. I'll post my result when possible.
I unlocked an E10 with Omnius... This is what I can say:
For unlocking, it works easy and clean, includes all your drivers, you just need basic widows "driver installing" knowledge.
It's the cheapest one I found for 1 phone unlock.
In theory, Omnius unlocking is a permanent solution for SIM unlocking...
In practice: Currently you can't unlock the bootloader of an Omnius SIM-unlocked phone. So if you are interested in modding, don't use Omnius today. Use unlocking codes instead, multiunlock or setool2.
--edit:
davinci is cheaper than omnius, but also lacks bootoloader unlock also.
Sim unlock
Hi.
I'm looking to sim-unlock my X10 mini.
i have searched a number of threads and this one came closest to answering the question
This is my simlock info:
(x) Network 5
( ) Network subset 5
( ) Service provider 5
( ) Corporate 5
( ) SIM 0
From my understanding I'm not able to use a code to remove the sim lock.
Are ther any other options avaiable?
Thanks
Yes, you can...
Insert a sim from another network.
check if the unlcok menu appears after booting the phone. If it does, you need to order an unlock code from a trusty site (it takes more or less 1 week).
Cable unlock is a bit more difficult (lots of drivers to install), cheaper and instant after purchase.
Or you could purchase a sim adaptor to spoof the network.

No, it does not mean you can use any sim card.
my phone is network unlock, i cant upgrade my firmware via seus or se pc companion. but you can use flashtool to flash roms
thanks you both, after searching ive finally gathered it has to be sim unlocked by
factory, network provider.
using sites like http://simlock.com/ and da vinci team does this affect the bootloader unlock? i.e. flashing different kernals? im sure i read in the bootloader post that using 3rd party unlock your bootloader is locked again?
so for instance if i sim unlock from the sites mentioned, is my boot loader relocked or will i have to unlock it again after sim unlock?
at the moment my x10i is network locked to orange but 2.3.3 root/unlocked bootloader via flashtool.
I went whit cellunlocker.net
the best, used it on 3 phone.
takes about an hour to receive a code
and it do NOT interfere whit unlocking the boot loader
free unlock code from [email protected]
I called att today and to my suprise they gave me free unlock code for my sony x10 I bought it from a buddy of mine that got two phones lasy year and didnt pay the first bill
ps: can i simunlock with this code on my bootloader unlock phone
sry for spam thread
