Hello,
I have bought an Xperia x10i from Ebay.
The xperia was send from Austria and it have an Simlock from the Provider "3".
My question is, can i Unlock the Simlock with Rooting the phone? Or can i Unlock the Simlock in other way?
yes you can, sim lock has nothing to do with rooting..
try the davinci team, not free but reliable
Thanks for your answer
And it works 100% with the support from davinciteam?
Must i Buy 1 day license from Simlock.com?
Hey,
The davinci team works well, its what I used to unlock my X10i..
cant say I have ever used simlock.com but looks like a really good deal

Is it possible to unlock the Device if you flash the stock rom ?

firstly no shops in the uk charge a tenner to unlock these phones they buy server credits just like the ones from davinci,,, welcome to 2012..
and roms have no link to sim locks
also to note if your bothered about unlocking bootloader this also matters, because if your using a third party like htccode/simlock.com etc check if they are using setool2 to unlock if not you wont be able to unlock bootloader.
i recently did one from simlock, excellent service! quick to reply, cheap to but he does not use setool2 to unlock but he is looking into it...
Why pay 20 euro you can pay 5 euro by this site ,I have unlocked AT&T x10 a by IMEI works great .Code was provided to my in 15 minutes .Highly recommend!

Have you seen the price they are charging.....clicked on to see what it's like and selected to unlock my x10 to O2 and it was going to cost $79+ to send me a code what a ripoff

Hi,
I need a little help and direction.. I bought an ATT branded Xperia X10a 2 months back by paying in full (400USD + tax). Used it for the time with ATT pay and go sim and upgraded it to 2.1 X10i (was at 1.6 X10a). Now, I want to move to other service provider and so i want a carrier unlock.
What is the best way here? Should I call ATT (i dont have an account with them, so it has been difficult to get through the crappy customer service calls)?? Or should I contact Sony Ericsson? Or a third party vendor?

You can buy a unlock code, calculated by IMEI, google for "x10 unlock code"
by the way, it is not cheap

Thanks, as per your suggestion, i tried out some of the unlocker sites like unlocking.com and cellunlocker.net. Both refunded my money back saying they dont have a unlock for me. Mobileincanada cannot do it too, since they dont have an unlock for ATT devices only Rogers.
I am not sure what should be the next step.

Go here and PM Lancez. I unlocked two AT&T X10a's through him. It's $36.50.
So Much to unlock the X10
Anyone knows why the X10 seemingly cost more to unlock than other phones?

because Sony Ericsson's unlock codes are not IMEI based, they are randomly generated. you have to have direct access to their database.

Yeah it was free. I actually did two x10's at the same time. It wasn't particularly difficult... I just called the regional number and told them that I wanted to unlock my phone for use with another carrier. Make sure to specify removing carrier restriction, because they assume you mean the PUK unlock code (totally different code) unless you specify.
Don't bother calling at&t. They told me flat out that they didn't have a single unlock code for the x10. ( maybe they're fibbing though?)

Hi. Which Sonny Ericsson center did you call? I contacted them by email and they told me to go ask ATT, while ATT says that they don't have the code. Thanks!
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.

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.

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???
I have searched the last fiew weeks on the internet for an free unlock method. But i haven't found anything working. Then i asked in a phone shop if they would do it. They told me that they had found something here on this website. So i searched here on xda. But i've foun nothng working on X10 with stock ROM 2.3.3 or other ROMs... So if anyone could help me and solve my probleme. If there is no other way I will unlock it in a phone shop for about 35€... I think it's too much, but i'm not sure if this internet - shops are serious....
I know my english is bad but i hope you were able to read my Questions.
thanks, Meikl96
What are you looking for ? is it phone unlocking or SIM unlocking?
If its just phone unlocking and installing custom ROMS then you need a flash utility and the rom itself and both you can down load.
If you are looking for sim unlcok then i'm not sure how to go about
well for SIM unlock, the only way is to let phone shops unlock it for the price.. AFAIK there's no way to unlock sim for free. you need to have a account with "credits" (that's what they call it) that phone shops only have. I got my sim unlocked for not less than 15 minutes.. ^^
yeah, i've asked in one of these shops but they want me to pay pay 30€ for this and it would take a week... I just thaught that there would any free way, because i've done it with another Phone (LG GD 880) wich was locked on T-Mobile Germany. It was easy to find this code generators but SE takes random keys....So its nearly impossible to get an code for free. but there was an thread a few months ago where sb sayed that he would do it for free...I don't know his name anymore....
I have asked in some shops in Vienna, Austria but no one can unlock it with setool.
They say the servers are not online
My question, I have unlockes the sim on a homepage but I would like to unlock the boot loader now.
I do not care much about the sim unlock since I have another unlocked phone. How can I unlock the boot loader?

Try http://omnius-server.com/ . It's free for sony ericsson devices up to Arc (X10 included).
I do not know of any free method, but looking on eBay I recently found a seller that unlock my phone (Orange UK) for about 20GBP.
Unfortunately, the item that I bought it's no longer available and the seller no longer offers this service for Xperia x10.
Depends on the carrier, you may also find a lower price.

i tried to (sim) unlock my phone, but an Error was shown after entering the process. Then I googled it and i Found that it costs about 13€. So I think youre wrong, but I hope i´ve made a mistake or something like this.... So if you can tell me another free method I would be very happy.

Hi,
I have Sony Xperia S from O2. I need to SIM Unlock Code because I'm using another Network. Can any one help me to solve this issue?
Thanks.
if youre with o2 pay monthly you can fill in the sim unlock form on their site
https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset Unlocking Form
I tried this before but this phone was a gift. I don't have SIM number to fill the form.
However, I'm using another network which not allowing me to make use of the phone.
It seems that your phone is a branded version that is attached to a carrier. You can try one of those websites that will SIM unlock your phone, but I'm not sure if the XPERIA S can be, yet...

It seems like this. because I tried many ways to unlock the phone. I notesed while trying to unlock the bootloader from services configuration "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO" and i couldn't connect it in fastboot mode. it didn't locate the driver even with manual installation.
do you have any suggestion? and what are those sites if you know cheep website?

it is currently $39,99 on this web-site. I wonder if one can find anything cheaper - I have seen one on the eBay for £32,99 which I find too expansive too. do you guys think unlock codes will get any cheaper with time? thanks
:S :S
I tried them.
Returned the money because they can not do it.
I travel abroad for a long time and should I use another service provider.
I called my provider to do it for $ 500 for decoupling.
If I know I do not take this crap phone.
There is no solution to it?

I unlocked my Mrs's phone via cellunlocker webpage mentioned earlier. Had to wait a week, but can use any sim now. Though, the bootloader status hasn't changed (still says "no").
Then I bought an unlocked phone from eBay, thinking the bootloader will be unlockable, but it says "no" in the menu as well. :-(
I am wondering if you get it cheaper on the web - certainly those who made their way into unlocking world of SXS recently will make tonnes of money. Would appreciate if you could share if you have seen it cheaper than $40 please.

Dear Valued Customer,
We just wanted to keep you updated on the status of your order. Despite our efforts, the manufacturer has informed us the Sony Ericsson Manufacturer method is delayed until further notice.

No one at this point has access to these codes at the moment.
We are very sorry about this situation once again, as we are sure you are eagerly awaiting your phone to be unlocked.
Your order will be returned as "Not found" and a full refund will be issued to you.
When the service is back up, tested and running 100%, you will be contacted.
Thanks once again, and we are sincerely sorry for this situation.

Ps they did refund my 39.99
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 .
