Hi!
If i check the service menu, i se this: Bootloader unlock allowed: No
I have a T-Mobile branded Xperia Mini ST15i.
Is there any free solution to unlock bootloader? I saw paid possibilities only. I was told that Omnius can solve it, but as i read, it is also paid and bootloader unlock is not supported.
Someone can please provide any help?
this one also have the same issue ..

Hi.
Hey friend, do not mean to be rude but, reading all these issues, returns to the conclusion that only unlocked phones can be released by the companies, but taking up the title of this topic which we have locked the phone, as we unlock? none of these issues solved our problem.
PS: sorry for not write properly, but my language is Spanish and translates all this text with google translator.

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum.
I recently bought an Xperia Mini pro and would like to completely unlock it.
I saw some peoples who remotely unlock those phones with SETool.
There is also a software called Omnius and would like to know if it can unlock SIM, fastboot and bootloader on Xperia Mini Pro SK17i, this isn't specified in any post.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Hy!
Yes, you can unlock it with Omnius, I unlocked my phone today in this way.
You need to buy one Android Single Unlock license.
Thank you Sir.
Done.
sorry to bump old thread.. will this work for carrier locked phones bootloaders also? or just sim lock and leave bootloader locked with no fast boot?
Omnius just deals with SIM-lock (and works well: I unlocked my SK17i this way). You need to then use another method (eg Doomlord's) to root. HTH.
Does anyone know if omnius unlock will work if the "allow bootloader unlock: no" setting is present? Can't seem to find any information about this on their website.
I hate my carrier so much...
thx

Yes, because mine didn't allow unlocking the bootloader, and I unlocked it with the "Android single unlock" license by Omnius.
Thanks for clarifying that. I assumed that was the case, but I wanted to check before handing over the monies!
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.

I think you cannot unlock your bl, but further i dont know for sure, mine says yes but i have neo v, maybe someone else knows it, but i think and yes i say it again you can not unlock it.
Succes.
Sent from my Neo V with supercharged ICS ^^
first, learn to write useful topic title, its there for purpose, i believe you can edit it still.
second, your phone have sim-lock which also means its fastboot is locked.
third, you can unlock all that with setool. find someone who have it, you can search user with nick jinx13, he can do it over the internet, but don't know the price, you will ask him that.

Hello everyone, I'm Santiago, from Argentina. I bought an Xperia Mt11i (Neo V) smartphone last year from argentinian phone carrier Claro (ex-CTI).
It's my first android phone and as I came to learn a bit about the system, I wanted to unlock my bootloader o I could install custom roms and kernels, as I have been playing with some cutom roms, but I can only access the ones that do not require Bootloader unlocked (i.e., I can't install CyanogenMod, MIUI v5, etc).
Checking in the SERVICE hidden menu, the status in my phone says "Bootloader Unlock Allowed=NO" (so I coudn't follow the official Sony guide to unlocking the bootloader) and I contacted my phone carrier to ask them wether they could do something about it, either by free or paying methods. They replied that bootloader is a device function, not a service provided/modified by them and that I should ask directly to Sony. As there is no Sony mobile branch in Argentina, I went to the talk.sonymobile forums to post my question in hope that someone may be able to tell me wether something can be done about this. Over there someone said that they thought it could be done (something about having done it with xperia Z), that I should ask over the xda forums, so here I am.
I searched info over the forums but didn't find any threads regarding my specific problem, which is changing the "bootloader allowed" status from NO to YES with phones bought from a telephone carrier. I've found tons and tons of info on how to unlock the bootloader, but all of them are for "bootloader allowed=yes" cases, so I thought it was worth the shot asking about this.
I should also add that my phone is in fact SIM-locked at the moment, and I have no idea wether this is a limitation for what I'm trying to do or not. Reading throughout the web I encountered several places that said that SIM-Unlocking your phone via NCK code (which I could obtain from my phone carrier) does not, indeed, unlock your bootloader, but I was wondering if it might, at least, change the status to "Unlock Allowed=YES" (this, I read, is sometimes the case).
I am eager to find a solution to this situation, so any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Santiago.

Well that's too bad, I was really hoping I would be able to somehow.
After calling Customer Service a lot, I'm now waiting for a direct reply from my phone carrier about the subject. Over at the sony forums they told me that Sony couldn't unlock it because of legal issues with the phone carrier, as the phone carrier is usually the one that demands to have a locked bootloader. I'm still hoping, however, that there'll be some sort of workaround and that either Sony or my phone carrier will give me some sort of solution. It's been done before, apparently, with Movistar in Spain. Apparently Sony was able to unlock the bootloader for those that bought an Xperia 2011 phone with Movistar Spain that had "Bootloader Unlock Allowed : NO". I can't post a link that thread yet, as I'm still new here at xda, but I'm quoting what it says over there: "In a nutshell "The Solution Sony proposses is, for those of you with a code-unlocked terminal, to contact Sony at [email protected], with your email, imei and unlocking code".
I know it's a particular case with Movistar Spain, but I'm still trying to get some info on wether something similar can be accomplished between my phone carrier and Sony.
Thanks for your reply, and I'm still hoping someone over here can tell me something about all of this.
It's your phone carrier mate, they locked up the phone. Call them everyday until they remove the sim-lock on your phone..
For me Linus Torvalds is the greatest man on earth

Well that seems to be the case, even though they are playing dumb and saying they are not the reason for locking the bootloader and that I should contact Sony and have them solve the problem for me....
I think I'm about to go into war with these guys. I kinda get why they lock the bootloader, what I won't forgive is being lied to like this. It's outrageous.
I'll check this post periodically though, maybe there's one of those miraculous solutions that I can try in the meantime.
Thanks for replying anyways.
Sadly even if your bootloader is unlocked you won't get to install the custom kernels
As your fastboot would still be SIM locked
And that can't be undone by Sony ofcourse
--You've to unlock fastboot
--Unlocking bootloader is no big deal -you'll have to pay few bucks and use wotanserver or s2 tool
There's a guide on using Testpoint (unofficial) unlocking in Neo V development section
Hope this clears out your issues more clearly
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
my phone had the same problem and i briked my phone and then repaired it with preset.ta file and then used s1tool to unlock it and it is unlocked now
you can also use plasma tool for free unlock(i tried it also and it worked)
Hello folks, well first of all I wanna say thanks for this community, with a big stuff and tutorials and help ppl, ok now my question is, I have Xperia U ST25a with unlocked Band for any company , because they give me the code to unlock it, now the problem is the bootloader still not allowed, so my question is, how unlock bootloader Allowed to No to Yes? this is something of my carrier? in this case Movistar? because I speak with support of Sony and they told me never give cellphones with Bootloader blocked, so in this case what I need do for unlock it? need speak every time with my carrier? they give many turns and really this make me sick, because I pay for the cellphone and I want unlock it, so if somebody know the way to do it via tool or something, because don't have idea how they lock bootloader, sure exist some tool to do it, but if they can lock it, too can unlock it, ok I hope somebody can exaplain me it and sorry if disturb here with noob question, but I can't found any information in the net about that, well I read something here about the company is who need give this answer but in my country we have no law to protect us in this regard, ok many thanks for all community again and hope somebody can clarify it to me, cheers.
