Hello my friends, I need your help
I had bought a mobile x10a from canda
i bought it from a telecommunications company at $ 240
Is a device used is not new
The problem is that the device does not accept any SIM CARD .. Only offering from the company
So .. I've bought from the company code to make the device work on any sim card at $ 35
The company is a code that puts in the phone and I'm not I who put it
Mobile version 1.6 ... So .. I want to update to 2.3.3
Can I do it without problems??? Or will I need to buy a new one to break the code
What is your opinion in this problem?? ... Please help me
I think SIM Card lock will not affect the update process. Be easy my friend.

Code has been developed by the company and I do not have a copy of it
This is the last comment I will make on this topic it is getting annoying now. The code is PERMANENT. I know that because...that is what the code is supposed to do. PERMANENT UNLOCK. It doesn't matter if you root it, update it, go back to 1.6 or go to 2.1 or go to 2.3.3. It will ALWAYS STAY UNLOCKED. Please stop asking questions over and over again. If you do not believe me than that is your problem.
thank my friend for you comment
Hello Guys
I have a stupid question, can someone tell me how to unlock Xperia S so that I will be able to use any sim from any network? I have a chance to buy Xperia S on Monday but it is locked to 3 network in UK and I'm currently in Tesco Mobile. Please can someone help asap. Thanks
Maybe if you flash a world generic firmware.
Next time ask in Q&A forum.

Is that it? God I thought it will be much harder because I couldn't find it anywhere how to do it. The only way to do it I found was to buy an unlock code for £44 . Sorry for posting here, next time I will write in Q&A if I will have a problem like that. Thanks for your help

I just phoned o2 as they are my network provider and they gave me the unlock code, put a different SIM card in from a different network and put in the code.
I thought they had to.

Ask your carrier to unlock it.

But I'm buying it from someone who just got his upgrade but he doesn't want it so do you think they will do it for me too?

For most carriers it's against the contract to resell locked devices.

That's why I am informing you. If you ask them to unlock a phone that was sold as a contract violation, it won't do you any good.

There is a way, called ezSEMC. But it costs $40, but it also unlocks bootloader. I can't link yet, but its microunlocker (.) com

This would be the case if the original person bought it with contract. But if he got it sim free( pay as you go), then it is legal.
To answer the original question, the only way is to phone three themselves and ask for unlocking code, I think it is 20-30 pounds
I recently bought the Xperia U for my partner that was locked to the 3 network. They will unlock it, BUT the person on the contract will have to make th call and they will supply him with the code, can take up to a week for it as it comes from Sony themselves. I think the cost was about £15 for it.

Hello, I have just bought an used Galaxy S3, but unfortunately I have some problems. The main problem is that I am unable to make calls. The phone shows No service and it doesn't matter whether SIM is inserted or not. Another thing I have noticed is changed IMEI. It is different than one behind the Battery. Also, serial number is 00000000 and it is very strange.
I would be very grateful for any help!

It sounds like you've got a phone totally wiped and your EFS folder is clear. Your EFS folder contains your imei number. Your phone is unusable. Ask the seller if he has a backup of EFS folder.

i don't no what to look for, but what i know and jjeagan know that you have to ask the seller for the backup.. Yes you have that imei number in hand but not installed in phone.
Yes, sure I will ask the seller for the backup. However, let's say he doesn't have it. Then there won't be a possibility to get ir working?

Here ya go. It can be fixed pretty easily however as of now it will show you roaming even if you aren't.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31051731
Edit actually after reading this new method it seems they fixed the roaming problem. Mine is backed up so I dont really follow this closely. I would however demand some money back for the shady business.

yes, I saw that method, but somehow I can not find one file.
Does anyone have any other thoughts?
Greetings,
I recently got this phone :victory: very happy coming from my galaxy S2.
First thing i found was that only takes micro sim so i asked O2 for a micro sim and as soon it arrived i gone to their website to make a sim swap.
Now all seems to be transferred across, i have my old balance, i can use the internet and i asked a friend to call my old number and it rings on the new micro sim but when i go to settings > about device > status > my phone number is still says the new number from the micro sim?!! There is no option either to change it.
Not a massive problem since i can do everything normal but having the new number there kind bugs me.
Anyone had this and was able to sort it out?
Ragards
You have to register the new number with your service provider.

No i chose to keep my old number, and my old number rings on the new micro sim after i did the swap but on the settings i shows my number is the new number that came with the micro sim!

Like i said never mind, i will ask and subscribe elsewhere.
Best regards
The mobile number you see in my settings is written in your sim.
This number is usually written by your service provider.
Unfortunately there is no option to change this number in android phones.
However you can change it by yourself using iphone.
If you do not have access to iphone you can contact your service provider to do it for you.
Oh well, on my phone My Number is..: Unknown i dont care.though.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
This problem can be fixed without calling O2.
I don't know why people are telling you its not possible, IT IS POSSIBLE. Ignore them.
I was able to change this number in settings whilst running either cyanogenmod / hyper galaxy (can't remember which). But one or both of these ROMs has the option to change it.
You go to phone application then press menu to access settings, and look around.
I changed my number because it is unknown but really its not that important changing it
EDIT
running CM10 I have the option to change the phone number.
Dialer > Settings > Additional Settings > My phone number
There you can enter in your current number and it will be changed

Thanks for the replies guys, that is all I needed to know. I still have CM10 installed on my Galaxy S2 so I'm gonna put my SIM there and give it a shot.
Thanks again

if it's just 7 months in then it should still be under store warranty, as long as your bootloader is still locked [i think :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:]
