Hello there !
I have a XPU witch is sim-locked to Orange UK and I need to unlock it.
If someone had such an experience and managed to unlock it successfully, please share with witch site, how much did you pay and how many keys did you receive (SIM, network, corporate...).
Actually any info about this manner would be of help, if you'd like to share. I've searched the threads and there are several posts (maybe 3) about people that did it but they all point to different sites. I would like to know if there are at least two members here witch used the same Or even better, maybe an alternative :laugh:
Thank you!
just an update because I see over a hundred views
I used http://www.sonyericssoncodes.com
I found it in this thread, several people reported thah it worked for them
in my request I asked for the other codes as well (corporate, etc.) and they sent those too but I don't need them, I think
it's not cheap...I know....
Orange only charge £20 anyway http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/personal/474187
Which is cheaper than that site.

I recently bought a t-mobile UK branded x10 from ebay...
I wanted to unlock it..
I have read all the posts all over INTERNET. The cheapest service i found on ebay was for 18 pounds(not verified still) with a unlock code.
Whereas the for x10a rogers and At&t it was for some 5 dollars!!!
I also read unlocking by cable. It says i have to buy credits for at least 10 phones.. that will cost me a lot !
I wanted to ask if there is a method to unlock it for free or cheaper...
can somebody suggest me the how to unlock it ..
Thanks in advance !!!
I am a newbie to android..This website is like the temple to all andoid guys!!!
PS:Waiting to get the xda app on my x10i soon

The only way is to pay, so find the cheapest you can.

First - try to contact your seller. If it worked, use official way if your seller is a current TMO customer. He should have active account for at least 90 days (as I remember) and have street address since they send unlock code by regular mail. It costs 15GBP. Usually it it doesn't work - who cares after successful transaction?
I used cable service of pretty well known "Sweden GSM". It costs $40. It took me around half an hour from payment till unlocking.
Another worked at least for two people from this forum service - by code. You'll get the code in 5-7 days after payment. It costs a little cheaper - $36.5.
The thread with all this info and personal experience:
[Q] AT&T X10a carrier unlock
Both contacts are at page 4, but better to read all thread - for info and for feedback from different services.
Hey thanx a lot Che Kirila and XperiaX10iUser.. i am trying to find call up the seller... to get the unlock for me .. If not then search elsewhere...
i read the post .. i will try contacting them for the code..
thanks for guiding me..
P.S: just wondering why the unlock so tough to find..... Its been quite long x10i has been in market.. still no crack available !

It depends on the lock technology. Encoding with open and private key technically unbreakable (time to bruteforce is too long), but there is simpler way - SE can just generate random numbers and write down them to the database, so no crack, the only way is to steal whole database.
Hi guys and gals,i have just orderd me a HTC Mozart. Its locked to orange and i need it for t-mobile.
Does any one know of a reptuable place were i can get it unlocked please.
Thanks
Same question from me.
I know that it may have been answered before, I used search but I can't find something specific, so excuse me for asking.
I have purchased a HTC Mozart from Ebay, brand new but locked to the Orange Network.
As I am currently in Greece, I really need to get it working with my sim. My operator is Cosmote.
So is there a hack to make the phone simlock free? Or is there a place one can buy a code to do this?
And if any, are they to be trusted? Is the sim unlock permanent?
Thanks
Hi all,
I'm an ex-pat who just bought a new phone from the UK, and also need a commercial recommended SIM unlock for a HTC Mozart, (currently UK Orange).
I have searched on here, and google, and the first one I tried at the top of google (htcsimunlock.com) has come back saying IMEI lookup failed, and "do i want to upgrade to a 'Deep search' for extra $15" on top of the $13 I've already paid... sounds like a con to me so I opted for refund (we'll see whether I get it or not).
I'm aware there's dozens on google, but can someone recommend one from personal experience?
Thank you.

Orange UK users can ring orange and they will provide the code for free- can take 2-4 weeks tho! They claim this is because they have to get it from HTC which can take up to 14 days.
recommended company - very quick
I had mine unlocked by mobileunlocked.co.uk.
cost was £21.99 and had the code within an hour. You can pay by paypal so all your credit card details are safe.
I would recommend them.

Hey everyone ... first of all I want to say sorry if this is not the correct place to post this but I really need help. I bought Xperia X10 this morning (found it on Craigslist) and the person I bought it from told me that it will work with my t-mobile even tho its branded with at&t! I believed that person and got home charged the phone because it had less than 2% battery when I bought it ... anyways, its NOT working. It asks for unlock pin for the sim card. I didnt know what to do so I called the ATT people and she said that she is not able to get the code and she also said that I can get the code from ATT After JULY!!! I dont know HOW she came up with that date but I dont think I can wait that long. I have been on the computer ALL day searching for what to do and learned lots of new things lol but I still didnt get it unlocked ... I read there that ROM or custom rom is like a firmware? I think I can do something if someone guides me in right direction .. and I also looked at those websites where they SELL the code for about 40-50 bux and I think its too much cause I already paid so much for the phone so Please some one help me cause Google always guides me to the infamous XDA-Devs forum .... thanks in advance and once again, sorry if this is not suppose to be here! Feel free to PM me with any info that could/would me!!!

wow ... not a single reply? Is anyone alive in this forum??
if i figured out this right u need a PIN code for your SIM card... if u don't know ur pin just buy another phone card and request from att number change and pick ur old number
Those sites are the only ones that unlock it. IM afraid that u will have to go with at&t or pay 50$ to unlock it.
BTW I would whip that ***** that sold u the phone.

I don't know what you mean but from all the searching and whatnot, I think that when I put the T-mobile sim in and it asks for Unlock PIN ... it means that its Locked BY ATT and the only person/people that can unlock is ATT but when I called them and asked to do it ...they asked me for my IMEI# and told me that it wasnt possible to unlock it ... first time I called them they said I could call them back after few months and they could give me the code but second time I tried they said this phone is NOT Unlockable so someone help ME!!!

When you say those sites ... which ones do you mean? Do you know of any that's TRUSTABLE and reliable? because I have read lots of bad stuff about HTCCode and CellUnlocker is way too expensive and I don't even know if its reliable.
And yes I wish I could whip that ***** but I got the phone for a good deal and I don't think that I will ever see her again lol
All the ROM flashing, unbranding, and rooting procedures out there should never be able to unlock the SIM for you.
AT&T makes you wait several months after the purchase of their phones before they provide unlock codes for them. That's their policy.
If you want to go with a paid service, some have had luck with a place like FastGSM (www.fastgsm.com/en), so you can always check that out. Paid services usually charge something between $30 and $50 (U.S.D.).
There is supposedly a simlock calculator application for Windows out there that works for HTC and Sony Ericsson phones (http://youtu.be/DsBKpTLZMrA). If you're willing to risk going through the hoops in order to try downloading the .EXE, you can try it out (http://simlockcalculators.net78.net/?p=24). Just be sure to use an email account you don't care about and anti-virus scan the heck out of any downloaded files afterwards.
The davinci team is good too

Hmm FastGsm kinda looks legit so I will snoop around there but that Calc is FAKE lol i tried it about a day ago or so and it made me waste one of my tries but thnx for tryin tho!
OK just letting everyone know that I got my phone unlocked .... I used Unlocking.com and it took exactly a week and 30 dollars so ya. Thanks for trying to help everyone!
wouldnt flashing any new generic firmware gett rid of anything ATT on the phone?
I was told "NO". You cant do anything with sim lock other than pay for the code and get it ... no other way around it.
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.

waiting for the end of the contract
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

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???
Hey guys,
As the title of the thread mentions I need some help for that. I am leaving in 2 days home and then my phone would be useless!
A working help will be refunded by 5$ donation via paypal (withhin 1 week need to transfer the money first to there)
Thanks!!

Just call the AT&T international support number and they will give you the code for free assuming the phone is clean.. There are links to the number as well as chat that takes less than a minute all over the 20 or so unlock threads all ready here.

How do you think everyone else has done it that is not with AT&T? Tell them you got the phone a gift and your about to travel to your providers area what ever that is and that you need it unlocked to use it in that area.

I called 4 times the AT & T support line which has very nice and friendly people there , but they cant give me an unlock code because my phone is not AT & T branded, the system doesn't give them out an unlock code when they got my Imei in it.
If your phone is not from at & t or one of their partners, dont try it it is useless.
Thx anyhow for your help guys

Then who is your phone branded by? You should be able to put the IEMI number into Google and get back info on it. If it is not AT&T then you will have to go with one of the unlocking services that will charge you to do it and could take a few minutes to a few days.
