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
Hello again
Going to be unlocking my SK17i XMP using Wotanserver. Its 14.99 EUR but I'm in the UK so it's around 12.50GBP for me
Got a few questions though for people who have used it before to SIM UNLOCK their phone. Not bootloader unlock or flash firmware. SIM UNLOCK.
1)I know it unlocks the bootloader before SIM unlocking the phone but wanted to know if I already had the bootloader unlocked, would this in anyway affect the program?
2) Can I have some more information on the Test Point for the SK17i please? Don't fully understand what to do when its going to ask me to test point? Anyone help with this? A link to a website or video would be useful
Thanks a lot
EDIT: Also, what is the best thing to use for the testpoint? A paper clip?
Thanks
Anyone help me with this?
1.- Don't worry it will not harm your device if you have an unlocked bootloader and then you unlock your sim.
2.- Here http://simlockmobile.com/tutorials/xperia-testpoint-guide/ this one show you the test point and this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y-Ua8czYXM it is a video on how are you going to do it only it is with fast gsm but it is the same process.
I used a pair of small pincers kind of the ones on the video but the paper clip will also work.
Hope it helps and have a nice one!

If your phone is locked to a particular carrier then the options are very limited.
Either pay the fee for carrier unlock or find some illegal way to unlock the device...google
Having said that i found my phone ' unlocked' after certain roms that i flashed.
Sorry i cant be more elaborate :angel:
Yey!Finally unlocked with simplyunlock.co.uk for only $8!!!Now everythings perfect!!!I am happy with my "new" xperia.
This method works with every carrers even if you have 0 tries to enter a code
Hello guys,
I am new to the whole bootloading and unlocking phones thing and I have a problem. I have a Nokia Lumia 800 with a prepaid lock, now my question; could someone make me a tutorial on how to unlock the phone with some steps and links to the tools I need? Maybe this question has been asked and answered already, send me a link of that thread then, but I have searched the forums for about 3 hours now and im getting a bit hopeless now.
Regards,
Zoipe
u must have Qualcomm bootloader to unlock it..if u have DLOAD bootloder u cant unlock it.. only with the code from your carier.

There are several internet services that can provide me with a code similair to the one the carrier will give me, but I do not know which one I can trust and which one not. Do you have any idea where I could get a unlock code cheap and safe?
