As a happy user use the x10 mini pro, my hand has been forced to upgrade to a newer phone - so the xperia mini pro is the obvious choice.
However in the UK it seems the only place still offering this phone is O2 - however I simply want to swap my existing Vodafone sim into this. (I'd be buying the phone on payg)
As I understand O2 sim locks their phones - so is there anyway, paid or otherwise, of sim-unlocking the phone?
I would only want to run "stock" but with root.

Perfect - so for 10 euro I can unlock it and just chuck my Voda sim in. :good:
That's still cheaper than buying from anywhere else/ebay already unlocked! :laugh:

I think that unlock method (Test-Point method - which also unlocks the bootloader) only works until the model 12W14. This happens in the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman (WT19i)

Yup - looks like the 12W29 I've received can't be unlocked by wotanserver.
Ah well - I'll just send the phone back.
If I get the operator to SIM unlock it, would that unlock the bootloader, or would it still be locked?

If it is true, all we need is 4.0.A.2.330 firmware for FlashTool and SuperOneClick 2.1.1 by ShortFuse.
Unfortunately I have .335 and SOC doesn't work (check this post for details).
So, if you have sk17 (mini pro) with .330 firmware, please, try SOC and post the results of the test in this thread.
And, if you have 4.0.A.2.330 and SEUS says that it is the latest firmware, please share firmware files with us. They are located in /Program Files/Sony Ericsson/Update Service/db/*nine numbers*/blob_fs. We need 3 files with the names started from "FILE_": the smallest one with the size near 64 kb and two bigger files (smth about 13 MB and 110 MB).
I have firmware version 377...
So I think at least...
I did upgrades to wotanclient.
and later put it on me and wrote (seus update service sonyericsson) have new software for your phone, but when it opened in 377 wrote the logic of this software is downloaded to the file. if you want I can upload to. but will soon because I have a problem with my speed internet.
sorry my bad english!
Jinx13 unlocked my phone for me, and it seems mine is the same now, i have rooted it, and it says bootloader unlock allowed yes, not that it is actually unlocked.

I recently got a Xperia Neo. It is new and less than a month old. I have seen several websites offering unlock codes but need to know if they work or not.
I may have been a little bit foolish buying it on the "Orange UK" network, but I did see these codes being offered, so I thought I would try it
Can I unlock my Neo with a code and would anyone here be able to help me?
I am asking this because I saw on omnius that the Neo has option for testpoint unlocking and I don't want to have to tear apart my new phone to unlock.
-()-
I didn't know where to post this as there doesn't appear to be a Neo Q&A forum
-()-
you can easily unlock with code.
Thank you for the fast reply. I just wanted to check first.
Is there anyone here who can provide a code? I can pay with paypal
Thank you
only over site :/

No.
You cannot relock BT after that.

Yes. As I mentioned I have heard of omnius and testpoint unlocking, however I heard an experience from someone who got their phone unlocked by a shop from this method and even they managed to screw up the phone.
Anyway I am currently waiting for a code from Sony Ericsson, because I took it to local shop and they told me to wait also because it is such a new mobile.
Sony Ericsson codes service is down, no one can give you the unlock code for these phones, except the provider themselves.
Secondly test point will void your warranty.
Use CSCA dongle unlock and everything should be fine.

WHAT are you waiting for?
Warning: Xperia 2010, your bootloader will be LOCKED forever if you SIM UNLOCK.
So, did anyone tried unlocking BL with flashtool(since here it say it can unlock BL on SIM-unlocked(with omnius) phones: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225 ) after SIM unlocking x10 mini pro?
Or tried with omnius, since it also supports unlocking BL.
My bootloader was unlocked. Unlocked simlock using omnius and reason unlocked bootloader using omnius. Seems fine

s1tool says unknown certificate
tried flashtool - no go - shows "serious error"
tried omnius - no go - shows "communication error", once has come to the end, but the bootloader is still locked
it seems like bootloader is locked for good...
or am i missing something...?
i try to check if my s3 is locked or not i put the *#7465625# but nothing shows up , is there is another way to know if its locked or not
Why would it be unlocked?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Put a different SIM card and if ask for network lock that means it's not unlock
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA
The code works on my international (european) S3. Result: not locked
Perhaps you mistyped it?
*#7465625#
My cell is the SGH-I747M (Rogers Wireless) and the code doesn't work on my phone either.
Some of you need to some reading. Why would it be unlocked if you pay discounted price with year agreement? Think about it.
Signed &
Code itself does not work but market apps like sgs secret code can access it.
Mine says unlocked all and don't have bell or Telus card to test. It's unlocked with Fido, but then again all Rogers samsung phones are working with Fido. So only way to know for sure is to test with bell or Telus card. This screen might not even be used for this particular locking method if they have it.

code works for me.

I received the unlock code from T-Mobile and unlocked my phone. I tested it by making calls with an AT&T Sim Card and my screen is identical to the screen above. It doesn't say on or off. And my phone is definitely unlocked!!!

To root a phone it requires that you're allowed to unlock phone's bootloader. Not every phone will allow you this: whether you’re allowed to unlock your phone's bootloader depends on the manufacturer of your phone, the model you have, and even your carrier. A phone's bootloader ( always ) can get unlocked if in device's Android Settings->Developer options the options OEM Unlocking & USB debugging are present:

Knowing this, you can purchase the cheapest phone whatever brand/model you chose. Simply contact the seller.
