Dear all,
I bought Xperia X10i from Ebay and it was locked on T-mobile UK.
I used in car charger and the USB broke. I then bought external charger for the phone. I have now gifted my phone to my cousin who is unable to unlock the phone due to USB charging that does not work.
I have called T-Mobile who told me that I have to purchase a SIM card and keep topping it up for few months then call back to ask for unlock code.
Is it possible to unlock Xperia X10i using just IMIE number? I am willing to pay of course.
If someone could help me I would appreciate it.
Cheers,
Markus

I m sorry if this info is available in some of the thread,anyone kind to show me the thread?
I got hold of a X10i Japan docomo(something like that) from a friend and is simlocked. I have an x10i myself so my friend gave his to me cos he cant use it with the local sim card.
I was thinking something like this, can i use flash tool to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom ( i was thinking of Cynogen CM7,something like that) and got rid of the sim lock ??
BTW i have no intention to pay for the sim unlock services cos its not economical due to the currency exchange for my country. I can get a 2nd hand X10i open sim if i top a bit on the sim unlock services charges in my country.
Thanks in advance for all your replys.
This X10i unit might just end up as a PSP unit for my 3 year old son if i cant sim unlock it ...

Can this all be done with out USB say over WIFI?.
Thanks in advance.
Same x10 port problem!

Hi guys,
I have an Xperia X10 which was purchased with an Orange contract but would like to give it to my younger brother since I've now got a new phone. The problem is my X10 is locked onto Orange and my brother is on Tesco. Is there a way to unlock the phone? I assume I can take the phone to Orange and they will unlock it for me but I'm sure they will charge for this. Is there a way to unlock it for free?
Any help would be very much appreciated

They made it illegal in the us without asking your carrier
So try to call your carrier and ask for sim unlock code

You can make a unlock code request to orange by calling their customer care executive.But i don't know how much they are charge to unlock your Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 phone.But they will ask you to wait for some days or even some months to provide unlock code.Also they won't
give the code at free of cost.So better you can get the code from online provider like Theunlockarena.com .

This type of post is frustrating. If you want to promote a site, just be upfront about it.
Our name on here is mobileunlocked and if we ever link to ourselves, it's to be useful for people who are actually still looking for help. Not threads were the person clearly doesn't need advice any more.

Hello,
I bought a one x+ on year ago but had to send it to HTC for repair.
They had to do a boardswap, but put a simlock on my device.
I live in belgium but my device was o2 branded, i never had a simlock when i bought it.
Apparently the shop were i bought my device imported the device from UK.
Now HTC put a simlock on my device because they saw it was an o2 device.
Is their a working method to remove it ?
I dont mind to pay for it but i need it unlocked.
I already bought some unlock codes online but always get a refund because my new imei is not in the database...
Hope someone can help me...
Kind regards,
eth2
You will likely just have to just wait until the imei gets in the databases.
I am not aware of any other method of sim unlocking it right now. sorry.

Hey guys, I bought a G2 Mini for a cheap price (under $100), but it's locked for Vodafone, and I'm on T-Mobile. It wouldn't be a problem, as I can unlock it on eBay for $3 or so, but it still has more than a year of warranty, and I don't want to lose it.
My question is: is there any method to carrier unlock this device, with a gadget like Turbo SIM (which doesn't work with recent Android versions as I read) or something, so I won't lose my warranty? Or I can only hope that they won't recognize the unlock at LG Service Center, if I have any kind of problem? I've got an Optimus L9 which had some issues, it has unlocked bootloader but they replaced its motherboard without a question, I know it's not the same, but you know.. it's still possible. I appreciate any kind of help, thanks!
