Hi guys, I bought a Xperia go ST27i from Austria (T-Mobile) and I'm trying to unlock it because of the startup message "SIM network unlock PIN".
I have been looking for a solution on the web for a long time and I haven't found it yet.
Could somebody help me about that?
Thank you.

ok, as far as i know you can remove the SIM lock by entering a network/SIM unlock code. You can usually get one from your provider. You have to pay them of course... :crying:
I know that german T-Mobile phones can be unlocked that way, not sure if its the same in Austria...
Removing the SIM lock does not affect the status of your bootloader! If its locked it will stay locked.

Thank you stothegee, I really apreciate your help!
I have been looking for a topic about it in T-Mobile website and I didn't find nothing good.
In the meanwhile I found this service:
cellfservices com => "unlock-sony-st27i" (I can't post links yet)
Do you know it? I would like to know if it's reliable or not.
Thank you for the help

I have the code to unlock my Xperia S, got it for free from my provider
But I do not have an "locked" sim card.
How do I enter the code then?
Just pop in any other SIM and it'll ask you to enter the unlock code.

Damn.. I want to unlock my bootloader now.
Or, if you must unlock it now, go ask someone who has another provider for their SIM for a few seconds.
problem solved. Next time post this in the Q&A section.

Yes that would be a solution, but it makes it alittle harder to get hold of a micro sim..
Oh sorry, tought that was like a FAQ section. Maybe a mod could move it?
You won't be unlocking the bootloader I don't think, just the sim lock on the phone.

Sim unlocking the phone doesn't seem to have anything to do with the bootloader unlock. And if you don't have another SIM card, then you probably don't have to even SIM unlock your phone in the first place.
There are some users on this forum which claimed SIM unlocking the phone will get rid of the bootloader lock as well. I have unlocked my phone, and have proven this to be false. Strangely, whenever I questioned the users for their proof they never posted it.

You are right. I don't actually need to remove the sim lock. But I read somewhere that the bootloader became unlockable when the sim lock was removed.
But if that wasn't true for you, it probably won't be for me neither..
Doing a SIM unlock will not unlock the bootloader. Both are unrelated. As long as there isn't a test point method you will not be able to unlock the bootloader.

Nope... To unlock your sim... ask your network provider and then only you can unlock bootloader via test point method... :thumbup:

Yup you can pay the amount set by your service provider to unlock your SIM...
and in case they have no answer:what::sly:
I suggest you change your service provider
You have to ask them about SIM unlock... Coz none of the silly call center employees don't know what bootloader is

If your carrier doesn't give you the sim unlock (or if it's too expensive) you can oay $24 to alejandrissimo, he'll unlock the network and then the bootloader, all in less than 15 minutes

Hey folks, I've been nugging around the bootloader unlocking problem, since I own a Neo V which is locked, and the service menu in the phone says that the Bootloader cannot be unlocked. So I've read through some threads about this, and I wondered upon the idea, if I unlock my SIM lock(probably with TurboSIM, since thats the cheapest solution), would that enable me to unlock my bootloader, and start the real modifying of my phone?
What do you guys think? Worth's a try?

Contact your network provider to remove sim lock on your device ( if your on contract and haven't expired/over yet maybe they will not do it for you) after you removed the sim lock, you can unlock your boatloader and mod your phone..
For me Linus Torvalds is the greatest man on earth

Okay, thanks for the advices. I'll contact them, and see whether they'll approve.
I bought a phone that is locked for Vodafone UK. I hope that did not fool me, but the phone has vodafone icons and charger is uk. When I insert Slovak SIM, its ask for code.
I'm not sure if it was called for 5min. but there are scratches on phone, so I hope he call from it, but if not and I buy and enter the unlock code, will it lock permanently, or its not problem? I tried to buy the cheapest code from ebay, but "Sorry-Code is not found in the database on this service for your IMEI."
What is best and cheapes way to unlock it. Thank you for any help and sorry for my english :fingers-crossed:
The best way to unlock it is by code, using a service provider of this kind. I have used in the past unlockscope.com and I was very pleased with the results. I recieved the code in the same day and the unlocking proccess went smooth. The costs are ok as I paid 19$ to unlock my Galaxy S6 and normally the network provider would charge me somewhere around 80$.
Hope it helps you
thank you nicu03. I just got a message from eBay that the code not found, again from another seller . So I'm going try unlockscope, thank you for link!
edit: so I was unable use unlockscope, but I try unlockbase.com and after few hours its unlocked! ye
