Hi
My littlesister have locked her Xperia Go.
What she's done is, setting a code to unlock the phone, in order to use it.
It's like the old sim pin-code thing. But it's not the sim she's locked, its the phone.
Of course, now she's forgotten the pin.. I have honestly no idea, how to get this thing unlocked..
Any sugestions?
- Micki
Its made that you cannot unlock whitout the code so your sister has a problem. Maybe you can flash a new rom via fastboot mode.

Unlock it using the google account in the phone. Or use the security question.

I'm not even able to get passed the lock screen.
My solution is type the pin or go to emergency call.
Maybe the new rom is a solution?
I would do what toon10 says. why don't you install again your rom? With flash tools or pc companion
This is the unlock phone pin, I guess? As long as it's not the sim pin you can just keep trying with the wrong pin and it should ask if you'd want to ublock via google...that's if a google account was synced and you have it connected to internet. Otherwise you'll be forced to do a factory repair.

I'll try typing it wrong alot of times, but im not sure if she have synced it with a google account!
If not, i will try using PC Companion?
Do i need to download a stock rom from Sony to do that?

Repair via PC companion or SEUS (prefer this) and it will take care of the download for you.

I use Wotan network unlocker but by mistake I have no credit and I have to interrupt the unlock process. After that my phone says to insert sim card. No sim card is recognized by phone. Try to reinstall rom…hard reset…..nothing work!!!
I will try today to do the complete unlock just waiting that my credit are available.
Seems to me that by interrupting the unlock process something happened to my Erom.
Do you know any other way to solve this?
Can I have hope that during the complete unlock process that my phone is okay?
Anyone have experience on such situation?
You help and advice please.
Regards
If I remember right : wotan server tool is for software updating/downgrading....what you want unlock there?

They have new tool that allow to unlock the phone (Xperia neo Unlocker).
But I tried to use it without credit and process failed (obvious).
Now my phone say to insert sim card when sim card is already inside.
I am waiting to have credit available to try the complete process and hope to solve this.
I am only asking for feedback to avoid spending money and don´t have my phone working again.
I also hear about Omnious!!
Regards
Well,
Just to inform that my problem was solved after making the complete unlock procedure.
Now I have my Neo network unlocked but I was real scared ;-)
Most curious is that after that I “see” dialing *#*#7378423#*#* that my boot loader can be unlocked ;-)
Perfect….2 in 1….unlock network and can unlock boot loader ;-)
Thanks

Hi,
I'm having the same problem with my Neo. May I know what you did to solve the problem Pls? Would greatly appreciate it
Buy a credit is what they want you to do to fix it, it's a bad approach to sales thought...
You can also fix it by flashing a correct file, not at home now so can't part but it was a small 16Mb sin

Could you explain a bit more on flashing the correct file? How may I do that? I'd like to fix this without spending any money if possible.
Basically flash a sin with a lower baseband, then you get a signal back. Worked for me on neo v, likely a higher baseband would work too.
Sent from my MT11i using Tapatalk
Im sorry but I dont understand a single bit lol
Whats a sin and how do i flash it?
Pardon me im a noob..
Save yourself a headache and buy the credit. As if you flash the wrong one you'll make things worse.
Although personally I'd use Omnia server instead now as they obviously are intentionally trying to force the sale.
Sent from my MT11i using Tapatalk
i did some research on flashing. ive experimented a bit with flashtool. now i just need that sin file you mentioned earlier. do you have the download link? thanks in advance
I got the file from Omnia server, download it, once you select the phone type there is an option at the bottom to browse files for device, your looking for one that's only 16Mb
This post has latest baseband

Hi,
After the reparation of the 0% battery issue sending to the warranty I have received today my Neo but with another problem...
This time it doesn't recognize my sim card, my phone is network locked. I've tried do set manually the network but with no luck. I even try to download a APN software in the market but I gave the message that my sim card wasn't in the phone. Tried also other sim card but the problem remains the same.
Any solution?
note: I don't want to unlock the bootloader or the network!

If you had sim-unlocked phone before and now its locked, isn't it obvious that they locked it?
so simply go back to repair center and tell them that you want unlocked phone as the one you brought to them was unlocked.
I had same problem, idiots locked my gf's phone after giving her new mainboard.
My phone is sim locked.

We see that
Question is, was it locked before you send it for repair?
Or are you telling that you actually have SIM card from network on which your phone is locked, but it's not working?
In ether way, send it back, they messed it up, let them fix it.

Hello!
I have the same issue about the SIM not working after unloking the bootloader with Wotanserver. :crying::crying:
What can I do?? How did you performed a full unlock??
Thanks a lot!!!!
Hi, hi have unlock my phone with the ground point method so i think that i have the bootloader unlocked. I have updated two times my phone first with fota and than with wotan both of them bricked my phone, i was able to restore it.
Hoe i have to do for update my phone without have a brick every time?
How can i check if i have the bootloader unlock?there is any app in the market to check it?
Thanks
Go to dialer and press *#*#service#*#* (service being the numbers 7378423)
Then there a option you can look at which tells you if bootloader is unlocked
Although by the sounds of it, it is
Hit thanks if I helped!

You can try flashing custom kernel via fastboot, and start phone.
About wotan server, you must be doing something wrong, because if you unlocked BL by test point, you can use SEUS, PC companion or wotan server.

Hi all,
I installed MiniCm7 on my X10 mini pro using these instructions :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415026
And for unlock the bootloader these instructions :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
No problems during this steps, when I reboot my phones MiniCM worked perfectly but there was no service and I couldn't connect the phone on the network.
So, I tried to reinstall the stock version of Android with SEUS but the problem is still here....
If somenon knows the origin of this problem, this could really help me!

The reason for manufacturers to ship their phones with locked bootloaders in the first place is to guarantee that carriers don't get burdened with users messing up their phones, and allowing the carriers to run their own proprietary software (which they say gives them added value over the competition).
So, in order to allow users to mess with their phones, some very clever people hacked the security-mechanism of the bootloader.
Unfortunately, that hack for the Xperia X-devices is not perfect, and can disable the radio-capability of your phone (resulting in loss of network-access/unrecognised sim-cards) if the simlock-certificate on your phone is non-standard.
If that happens, the only way to hopefully get it back is to relock your bootloader so it looks original again.
(I'm not sure if you read the thread on unlocking the bootloader, but there is good reason for the big warnings in red letters about checking your sim-lock certificate with S1Tool before unlocking, and the risks involved in that)
In short: The cause of network-loss the OP reported, wasn't caused by the software, because even back on stock firmware it still occurred. So the cause must be the other thing he messed with
And repairint your phone with sony-ericsson's software does not relock the bootloader.

You can still root it no problem, just not unlock bootloader.
However, you should still be able to unlock it via a paid for service. (Someone correct me if I am wrong)

No need to correct you
Paid service like SETool Box(which I personally advise), omnius, wotan server(they provide SIM unlock, not sure about bootloader unlock).
Also having this in mind: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25802604&postcount=144
if older than 12W14, only official unlock (of course with previously removed SIM lock)

My phone is 11W29. And my carrier is Vodafone. If I SIM unlock it (which means that I can use another SIM form other carriers), may I unlock the bootloader then?

Yes.
Long story:
Technically, you can unlock it(bootloader) now, it's just you won't be able to use it until you remove SIM lock, as SIM lock is also locking fastboot, which you need to access your unlocked bootloader.
Is it possible to SIM unlock with software, I mean free?

There isn't discovered free way to remove SIM lock. Unless you ask your tele operator, and he is good enough to unlock it

Don't think they will be up to... :silly:
I have one more question. With a custom kernel, does it really improve the overall experience?
I'm on ICS now and the phone isn't up to my expectations being honest. It's not as fluid and responsive as it should be even that I use a custom ROM (ICS pureness). So I wonder if a kernel would benefit the overall usage.
Above all, I find it troubled to do multitasking. It often needs to reopen the apps and it feels slow and games and apps lag even with the new Adreno drivers (I'm using Holo Launcher). I tried supercharging it a few months ago but I didn't notice it that much on ICS. Maybe JB runs better??
I'm seriously thinking about going back to GB. It feels snappier and more responsive. Altough I don't want to... :crying:
Hi again!

How you unlocked it? What program you used?
Did you try with different SIM cards?
I bought a code obtained from my phone model, carrier and IMEI.
Then I introduced another SIM card from a different carrier and my phone asked for that code. So, I introduced it and my phone now can be used with other carriers.
Then I inserted my SIM card again and I checked my phone unlock status. And it says 'no'.

Why you didn't follow my suggestion and used apps which I suggested?
Anw, I'm not sure now.
Install drivers from latest flashtool,
turn off phone, hold down menu key and connect cable to phone, let the PC recognize phone and install drivers,
start flashtool, click on lightning icon and select fastboot mode, click on "get ver info" and "get device info" in the main flashtool window you should see some info.
What does it say?
p.s. you can always try with testpoint method or by official method and see if it will work.

What are you complaining about? Why don't buy a ticket to watch a film or sth instead of being so rude?
Ok. I've got Flashtool 0.9.8 installed in GNU/Linux and Flashtool 0.9.5 in Windows 7.
It seems I cannot enter in fastboot mode within either one. In fact, after entering in flash mode (holding down back button) my phone always enters in flash mode except if I hold down the menu button, in which case it enters in normal (charging?) mode.

Well, in Spain almost all carriers SIM lock their phones.
Hello all,
Got an xperia x10 of a friend, now im trying to do a hard reset on it by doing this -
Turning it off
Hold the bottom left and right key and then press the on button to try and get it to go into the bios thingy? (not sure what they call in on phones)
and it wont work it just turns on??
Getting annoying as im also thinking about rooting the phone and putting jelly bean or ICS on it but I cant as I cant get into the bios thing
Help would be great please
Sorry its an xperia x10i if that makes any difference
for the "BIOS" thing. Do you mean recovery?
if you don't have it then just get it via flashtool
There is no hard reset n x10 only soft reset,or do it by this way:
1 From the Xperia 10 Home screen, tap the applications bar.
2 Tap Settings > SD card & phone storage > Factory data reset > Reset phone.
3 Enter your screen unlock pattern.
4 Tap Erase everything.
or just use pc companion to wipe everything
Hello, Cheers for the replys, yes that's the recovery I meant, but hmm im new to all of this.
and cheers will give that wiping a go..
So my phone is currently on 2.3.3
all standard,
Can one of you or someone help me with the following,
First I need to unblock it as it is currently locked to virgin or tmobile I think and I would like to use either o2 or orange,
I would then like to Root it and then install ICS or JB on it
I have never done this before so as much help would be really appreciated
Thank
You need to find a shop or someone who uses setool 2 to unlock the phone as it will unlock the bootloader at the same time, if you use any other software to unlock the phone you wont have any network if you unlock the bootloader afterwards the only ways to have a signal is by unlocking with setool 2 or via the unlock code from the network provider, once your bootloader is unlocked you can proceed to flash an ics/jb rom just follow the instructions posted on which ever rom you want to install.
