Hi, I've had my ray for about a week now, and i'm already sick of the stock .62
I started unlocking my bootloader, the method from the Sony website. But when it asks me for my IMEI, it wants a 14 digit number, and mine is 15. I don't know what to do. Is there another solution? I would love some help. I have searched everywhere but apparently no one has the same problem.
I want to flash Miui but i'm new to this phone and I don't have a clue about anything. It was so much easier on my Optimus One

delete the last number of your imei to become 14 digit
6. Enter your name, email address, the first 14 digits (remove the last digit) of your phone’s IMEI number

Edit: i just read that your phone is sim locked nvm
If it says no contact jinx13 he can unlock it £15

Yea, it's same IMEI in everywhere.

I suggest you to flash some ROM, i think it will remove any SIM Locks and so one. Find ROM on development forum for your phone.
You can get a Worldwide sony ericsson Unlock Code from imeicodes.co.uk this however takes about a week to get your code, so you need to be patient. The code will work fine aslong as you havent used up your tries to enter it (just like a nokia phone). It's a good idea to check your unlock code attempts before ordering a code by doing the following:
Press menu < < menu < menu menu <
Then you can check the counter [0 or 5].
If it says 0 then you cannot enter codes.
And STOP giving your IMEI on public sites!

Thanks. but, now im trying to install custom rom to my mobile.
Thanks again for infor
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888227is not ROM but tutorial on making new one. I'm using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059361 and it's very good. First you have to check if your Baseband Version is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 (Settings→Phone info (I don't remember how it exactly is in English). If not, you must use FlashTool to change it. Next, you have to root your device, install ClockWorkMod (xRecovery) and flash your new ROM.
I'm not sure if it will remove SIM Lock although it's worth of trying. Ask if you have any questions.
Sorry about my english if I wrote sth wrong

BIG thanks for Big Help. I'll try it and post here about my result. Thanks a lot guys again .
Good night. (3:25 AM here )
99% sure roms don't remove sim locks :<
Flashing a ROM has nothing to do with your SIM Lock. So no flashing will magically unlock your device. You need to get the proper unlock code, or have someone with a unlock dongle to do it.

Sure if you got more tries to use with correct unlock code you still can do that.
Else you can get it unlocked via dongle.
You can try and PM the guy in this thread:

Should work the same, just if you get replaced device back, then IMEI is different.

i know that the imei is different if i got another device, but if i got same device can i enter same cod i use firs time to unlock bootloader?
Yes, code stays the same then.
Are you sure? If we're talking about BL unlock, isn't the code calculated based on the IMEI? So, if you get a new phone (different IMEI) then code should be different...

if you mean IMEI then NO
if you got another same device - use unofficial method.
I do use it. simple and waranty, DRM stays with you
when i check *#*# code7378423#*#*
in service menu
Bootloader unlock allowed no
what should i do???
i need to unlock my bootloader
please pelp
get an unlock code from your network provider, some people have said that once they removed the simlock its let them unlock the bootloader. if that doesnt work then theres not much you can do untill someone works out another way to unlock it
no fastboot mode.
Theres only one solution I know of, and it may be a crazy one....
Use search first, and read the other 500 threads created on this topic ;-)
Short answer: No, not able to be done yet.

If you want to unlock the boot loader, use the wotanserver.com
* In addition to sim unlock you get an unlocked bootloader.
However, it seems to me that at the moment, this service does not support SXS
Try to write the administration service.

= the post above was completely unnecessary as it does *NOT* provide a way of unlockning bootloader for SXS.

What is a "rootable bootloader"?
For the Croatian members:
I've just called customer service of Vipnet( Vodafone) and they told me that there is no problem, you can unlock boot loader for only 480 HRK (~65€).
Well, if there's no free unlocking solution in few weeks I'll have to milk some cash. It's still better then locked for life.

Pay more for a phone that's SIM-Free and not subsidized by a network. That is the only way.
guys, try the ezSEMC. it's realy working, but it's paid.
I'm not seller. I used it on my acro hd and i'd got the bootloader unlock allowed: yes.
What about U/P/Sola

Hmm....SIM lock and Bootloader lock is different my friends....unlocking SIM lock just to make your phone usable with any SIM card while unlocking Bootloader is for development purpose....
all phone will SIM Lock can be unlock easily but for Bootloader lock that depend on the date of your phone is manufacture...
