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?

Hi guys,
i've bought the SK17i in Italy and this have the firmware 4.0.A.335 I need a lot root it and a easy tutorial for that (better if is videotutorial) I wait ur answer thanks a lot Tyrigi.
Same here.
there is only one way to root your mini at the moment.
its really complicated and there are no videos about it.
so i guess you should probably wait until there is a easier root solution
you can easily unlock the bootloader for getting rooted. it's not as difficult as you think.

Hello, i just bought an sk17i mini pro Orange branded. Of course i want to root it and I found a lot of solution, specially one on this board .But finally it doesnt work, my bootloader cant be unlocked because of brand. It's just here :

I found a 2nd solution on this board again but i don't understand if finally a branded sk17i bootloader can be unlocked or not. Some people say yes, and others no. I want to post a message but it 's in development area so i have to wait 10 messages.....and tis is my first one

Hy!
I have a same problem... I tried a lot of thing, but... If in your Service Menu it say "Bootloader unlock allowed: No", you can't do anything.
Every method need to boot Fastboot mode. If your phone is branded, and not allowed to unlock bootloader, you cannot start the Fastboot mode... Now.
The Branded SK17i Team waiting for the solution
pls try the s1 tool method. it's a little complicated. but you can do it. and the you will not lose your DRM.
I tried it... I can't enter Fastboot mode.
I think s1tool TP method is only work if your Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes...
tell me exactly what you did to enter into the fastboot mode?
@irumbustalin, do you mean s1tool can unlock branded sk17i?
If not, as soon as Orange unsimlock my phone, will i be able to root it after?
Thanks a lot,
Sorry but UP UP!
hi im confused, i want to network unlock my orange UK x10i,
if i use the bootloader unlocker does this unlock my network unlock i.e. allow use any sim?
if no does anybody know of a reputable site in the UK which is priced good and reliable i.e. allow future updates, as during my search i am sure i read if you use a certain unlock tool it can hinder updating the phone? but i just want to flash custom rom ?
can someone clarify please. tried search its either old info or not clear enough.
hopefully the answer can help future users with this subject in the year 2012.

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
Well i got my friends LT18i to SIM UNLOCK, And im confused
I dont mind unlocking the bootloaader or anything for the matter
Long as it unloked
The confsuing part is where,
Does Test point unlocking do SIM unlocking too ?
Or does it only unlock the boot loader ?
If i cant unlock by any of the free methods can anyone please link me to the cheapest online service ?
And we have jinx on XDA who does unlocking right ? If so anyone know the price ?
Thanks in advance
BL unlocking not unlock SIM!
Yo can use wotanserver.com to unlock SIM, it cost 14,99 EUR
if you need to sim unlock it, my advise is find someone with setool box(I see you already know one person)

Have you already tried that website? http://sim-unlock.net/unlock/Sony-Ericsson/
I didn't really understand your question but if you mean "debrand" you can flash the ftf debranded rom or any custom rom (some of them requires unlocked bootloader). I'm sorry if i misunderstood your question.

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.
