Can anybody help me? i am getting a new simcard tommorow and have a locked X10 so i wont be able to use it
even pay servers i dont mind!!
Orange UK does something special with their locked handsets... they have to... unlocking a rogers x10 is like 5 USD.
I got mine unlocked via a person on this forum, ferraripassion, i think. i would give their website but i don't think i'm allowed. but their website unlocks handsets from another manufacturer - they have the instructions for the xperia x10 on their forum. They charged 40 USD and they were able to do it in a half hour (connect the phone to your computer, they remote into your computer, run software and done)
Before, I had ordered an unlock code from a different website. They were a little cheaper and promised 24-28 hours. BS. 2 weeks later they had nothing. I constantly sent emails, etc. I got fed up and threatened to do a charge back, in spite of their 21 day policy since they obviously weren't doing anything except changing the status manually. The code eventually came in about 4-5 weeks after my order. A waste of my time though.
I just fear that am gonna be stuck with a t-mobile simcard for weeks without a phone to use it on :/ .. shame it was a awsome £7.50 a month deal with them 600 mins unlimited text & unlimited internet ..
wiped the floor with orange but i wont be able to use it unless i sort this blinking thing out first!!!!
mobileincanada dot com worked for me, same day service and unlock worked.

As I know, T-Mobile UK and Orange UK are joined together. Ask T-Mobile UK customer service about that. I think, I saw this sort of questions at the TMO UK customer service forum and that should be free.
By the way the X10 unlocking is actual now again since the unlocking server is down and all those "$40-services" are temporary down too. Look like all of them did their business through Sony Ericsson server and actually didn't have any own know-how. It is possible that actually this server is up long ago, but they cut off the access to this feature or found an employee, who sold access (see levels of EMMA).
Look like I need somebody from T-Mobile UK to order unlock code too (this service is for current customers with street address for receiving paper mail).
Good day,
I bought my new X10 in UK, and I'm having a problem unlocking my network. Is there a free apps in unlocking the device? its 3 network. Also, I would like to ask the advantages of rooting and bootloading x10. Will this unlock my X10?

The answer to both questions is NO, you'll have to seek elsewhere for a paid service to do unlock your mobile device.

I also tried to find a free way to do this but no, there is not. And for Xperia X10 is kind of expensive to unlock, and most likely must be done by software (just your pc and your phone usb cable is needed). Go to cellunlocker.net and select SE Xperia Software at the left menu and just follow instructions. To buy the login for the software you must pay 29 bucks, it's the cheapest i've found. And bear in mind that you must provide your phone's IMEI accurately, failing to do so means wasting your money, just type *#06# on your phone as if you're gonna make a call.
And yes, this works. Already unlocked 3 X10 with them. This will unlock your network so you can use any other carrier's SIM card and will work on your phone, also will allow you to use your phone's WIFI anytime, even without a sim card inserted.
But listen carefuly: Your X10 must be SPECIFICALLY on android 2.1 UNMODIFIED (no custom kernels) for the software to work. The login that you will buy will only work with your X10, it's bound to your phone's IMEI so don't you EVER try to unlock another X10 other than the one with the IMEI used to buy that login. EVER.
After you unlock it, the phone will stay unlocked forever. Then you can feel free to play with other custom roms provided on the forums which will make your phone tons of times faster and better.
Hope this helps and good luck!
I m sorry if this info is available in some of the thread,anyone kind to show me the thread?
I got hold of a X10i Japan docomo(something like that) from a friend and is simlocked. I have an x10i myself so my friend gave his to me cos he cant use it with the local sim card.
I was thinking something like this, can i use flash tool to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom ( i was thinking of Cynogen CM7,something like that) and got rid of the sim lock ??
BTW i have no intention to pay for the sim unlock services cos its not economical due to the currency exchange for my country. I can get a 2nd hand X10i open sim if i top a bit on the sim unlock services charges in my country.
Thanks in advance for all your replys.
This X10i unit might just end up as a PSP unit for my 3 year old son if i cant sim unlock it ...
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.
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.
Dear all,
I bought Xperia X10i from Ebay and it was locked on T-mobile UK.
I used in car charger and the USB broke. I then bought external charger for the phone. I have now gifted my phone to my cousin who is unable to unlock the phone due to USB charging that does not work.
I have called T-Mobile who told me that I have to purchase a SIM card and keep topping it up for few months then call back to ask for unlock code.
Is it possible to unlock Xperia X10i using just IMIE number? I am willing to pay of course.
If someone could help me I would appreciate it.
Cheers,
Markus
