Hi everyone,
I have a X10a BL unlocked right now using MIUI Oddie v10 default kernel (FXP).
And about 4 day ago in my country every company is offering free sim unlock for all cell-phone. (we got a new law ).
We can achieve the sim unlocking introducing the IMEI of our cellphone and our cell-number in the carrier web page, but the PIN they send me is not working only in this phone.
Do i need to downgrade my firmware bts?
Thank you.

You could try the Flash tool given to us by Bin4ry and flash generic then follow the standard rom guide, thats how i did mine unlocked from Vodafone to originally get 2.3 standard, but lead to more xD

Hi friends,
Before buying this cute smartphone, I want to know if we have solutions to unsimlock the Xperia S.
Thank you all
if you have option, buy unlocked one
why?
1) phone is locked so no other network
2)unlocking phone would be very expensive since is new so £30-40 + wait to people work out how to (price in highstreet)
3)instatly lose warranty - (test point)
4) locked bootloader no fun on xda
-no fastboot
-no unlocked botlooader
-no xrecovery
-no custom rom
-no root
- long wait for update.
- i am not sure whether unlock simlock = unlocked bootloader.

Currently there is no free Sim Unlock in the DEV section. Best check next time before asking
The phone has been out around 3 weeks, might be a while before a solution can be found.
I have checked more than you can imagine that's why I have asked to know if there is a solution because I didn't find it

I won my Xperia S in a competition from Three UK.
I'm on Orange and have my contract to pay so I asked Three for an unlock code. They've had to speak to Sony because even Three don't have a code yet.
I paid £15 on 9th March and I'm still waiting for an unlock, just want to use my beautiful Xperia

Are you sure?
A network locked phone cannot be root and no unlocked bootloader?
my X10 was locked and I could root it easily and flash other official roms (different baseband).
Then I sim-unlocked it before flashing custom roms, so I don't know if I am able to do that with a locked phone though.

Just got my Xperia unlocked officially from Three UK. So it works on any network however all the Three integration is still there and after checking the bootloader status I am unable to unlock the bootloader as of now.
So although it's unlocked to any network, it's still kinda locked with regards to the bootloader and rooting.

Have you flashed an un-brand firmware? (there is a way to flash another official rom without rooting/unlocking) Maybe it would be bootloader unlock-able after that...? (i really not sure about this)
But there should be a way to root the phone without bootloader unlocked soon or later anyway (just like the others)
and i know that the X10 can be bootloader unlock even with simlock (although the method came out quite late...)
it's just a matter of time, shouldn't be the end of the world

I've not flashed any new firmware as of yet because I'm not confident in what I'm doing haha. I'm not rushing to find anything, but would like to root at some stage. And if I can unlock the bootloader I would
IMEI UNLOCK Sony Xperia S
Hi,
I planing to buy a Sony Xperia S and IMEI unlock it...Maybe this is a stupid question but if I buy the Xperia S new, is it possible it comes already with blocked counter? or every Xperia S comes with 5 to 10 attempts? and if it comes with factory blocked counter, is it still possible to remove simlock? Would it be to expensive? I really need to know this in order to know if I buy the Xperia S or not. Sorry if it is a dumb question but I was an iOS user 'til now. Sorry if I post this in the wrong thread.
Thank you!!
Hello everybody,
I friend of mine bought me an Xperia M4 Aqua from Vodafone UK. I live in Greece and when I put my Greek Sim in the phone I'l have to add a key/password to unlock it and use it.
After a research I found that I have to get the unlock code through Vodafone UK, but it has as requirement to have used the Vodafone sim for 1 month. Is there any way to unlock it right now? Will re-flashing the Stock ROM, or unlocking the Bootloader and flashing another do the trick?
Thank you!!
You can buy an unlock code from a third party website like www.unlockradar.com to unlock your Sony M4. They are reliable source and their customer support is the best. I'm own a repair shop and always unlock the phones with factory codes, because is the safest and quickest method.
Some of the m4 aquas show a 0 instead of a x under the sim unlock which means there hard locked and only Vodafone can unlock them which means costing around £20 unlock plus £10 to use the Vodafone sim for a month
Hi there,
I am trying to unlock my Sony Xperia XZ Premium's bootloader as I am wanting to use EE (UK)'s VoLTE service (it only works on EE firmware and the device I bought from CEX (UK) second hand has Vodafone UK's firmware on it so therefore won't work). However, in the phones' Service Menu, it says the bootloader cannot be unlocked despite OEM unlocking being enabled in the Developer Options menu. Is this a mobile operator problem or is my device faulty. Please help. Thank you!

Try using adb to unlock bootloader.
I have an android 8 go edition which is network locked and my service provider won't help unlock it. it's powered by a cheap mediatek processor and I'm sure rooting and messing with some stuff will work. I have looked around and all methods I've seen are device specific. any help on a method that might work on this phone?
My neon ray is locked could you please help me unlock it
