if have the xperia x10 mini pro sim unlocked by software if change the stock 2.1 rom to another rom, the Sim unlock will be gone?
No, SIM unlock is independent of the ROM. dont worry, flash another rom.
thanks for the answer.
i'm asking this because I read somewhere that if you sim unlocked the device by Software the unlock me be gone, but if you unlocked by imei it won't be gone

You're confused with bootloader unlock and sim unlock. Sim-unlock allows you to use any network-provider on your phone, Bootloader-unlock allows you to install a custom kernel to your phone.
If you want to unlock the bootloader to flash a custom kernel, your network may be lost, because your phone wasn't sim-unlocked using an imei code, but it's not that your sim-lock is activated again.
You can get your network back by flashing back to stock Sony Ericsson kernel and then restoring your bootloader using S1Tool.

Hi,
What exactly does a unlocked bootloader do except load custom kernels?
Does it mean that I can SIM-Unlock my two X10 Mini-phones?
If not, is there any cheap way to unlock the X10 Mini?
Cheers!
An unlocked bootloader only "allows" you to load fully customizable kernels and roms onto the phone. Devs can also port other OS and functions if needs be (theoretically). An unlock bootloader by itself does nothing. A dev will have to then make use of the unlocked bootloader
The x10 bootloader unlock method does not unlock network. You will need to do this separately
I believe also that there's a cheap way to unlock using Setools. Do a search via google to find different sites. Hopefully someone can provide a link to one that they know and trust.

You can remove the SIM lock with setools but I think you need an "unlock box" (equipment) for that. You can also just do it with cable and software from XperiaUnlocked for the Xperia x10 Mini
Hi,
I am using a 3 network locked phone. now since I already have an Unlocked bootloader and will flash stock rom with either wolfbreaks or Oodies, will it network unlock my phone?
similarly if I get an unlock code from 3, and unlock my stock gingerbread rom, will I have to buy another sim unlock code every time I change my rom?
Thanks
no.
sim unlock is permanent.
you dont have to unlock it again

Hi All, i'm french and in france, after 3 months with the same network operator, you can have the sim unlock code for free.
I so gave them my IMEI number and they sent me an unlock code.
I'm on OOdie Prime X. I put a different card in the X10 and the X10 asked me to enter the code. But my code was rejected. I tried two times.
My question is: could it be ROM related, should i come back to stock to unlock my X10 ?
edit: I'm with an unlocked bootloader.
I not 100% on this but it to do with ur bootloader possibly. Also if u unlock in this way whilst bl is unlocked u may lose radio on ur device, so I wouldn't if I was u.

Do you think i need to re-lock my bootloader, come back to stock via seus repair, then unsimlock and come back to my oodie ROM ?
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
Xperia X10i
DonutHD 2.3.4
SE Kernel
Relock ur bootloader then try pal. If it works, don't unlock again (unless u used s1tool u may lose radio).
