I want to unlock sim my xperia u too...
Nope, best thing you can do is ask your carrier :good:
any luck guys ?
I have the same problem, I purchased a code on eBay from this seller and it wouldn't unlock! This is really a pain. Has anyone had luck at all unlocking? I realized after there were so many videos of the problems on YouTube.
Has anyone had any success unlocking the Fido Xperia U?

What carrier was your Xperia P originally locked to? I really like this phone, but I feel like I'm throwing money down the drain to attempt to get it to work on my main carrier. But if it works I guess I'll be happy...
I used the same site to unlock my xperia U, it took alomost a week but the code worked.
Mine was locked to Orange UK and I'm in Bulgaria.
Hope you succseed because it's a pain in the a**.

Did you try various sites before that one worked? I looked up the 4SE method, that apparently works too using a program but the signature server hsa been down for 3 months now! So even if you have the credits it wouldn't work.

I hope it'll work, I asked them and they promised a refund if it doesn't. It's a pity I'll have to sell this phone if it still doesn't work.
Thanks for the reply.

no I didn't try any other, sent several mails and made some registrations but didn't buy from them (some replied simply that they couldn't do it), I searched and even posted a thread to ask if people found a sure site, but without any luck. Then I found this thread and in it there are several sites/ebay sellers that were reported working for the ION with SEcodes the latest, so I wrote them an email because I wanted other codes as well (got response in less than 5 min) they told me to wait about a week and I got them six days later. Was worried because I read the whole site and their return policy wasn't clear. It turned out that my order was number 30 something so i hoped it wasn't a scam and my hopes came through
I read that the method with the sever even unlocked some bootloaders, which is a big plus and was cheaper but no luck with that.
as advice if you worry to much and have a camera or a phone that could make a good video, you could record the first time you enter the code (IMEI and service menu visible) so if it doesn't work you shouldn't need to do it again for proof if they want video and decrease the number of the counter

Thanks st3ch.
I just ordered from Sonyericssoncodes, got my fingers crossed, I hope it'll work. It does sound like Sony has some of the worst locking.
Still waiting for the code from Sonyericssoncodes, originally he said it'd be available today, but prob not until next week.
Hopeful it'll work, my other phone (Nexus S) just died yesterday after I was messing around with the USB port that wouldn't charge properly. Bad timing, though I knew it was coming!

No it didn't, only SIM unlock. Oh well, I'm tired of playing with ROMs at the moment anyways. I guess to unlock bootloader you need another code?
not yet,
it's just an announcement only, not release

Hi everyone,
So, I just by a 2nd Neo, everything is ok but the front camera doesn't work anymore.
I asked to the seller, and the answer is "This phone is for HongKong's Product, so the front camera is disable"
That answer is right?
Anybody has a same problem?
Can fix it?
Thanks a lot
The seller is trying to fool you, it cannot be disabled, try to check if its not broken.
Go to dialer in phone and type *#*#7378423#*#*
service menu will load up then click on service tests & then secondary camera.
if its working fine, then just repair your phone using SEUS or Flash the new rom.
if its not working, return it back.
Hi Mate,
What error you are getting? blank screen or error message ?
Xda will come to rescue.
thanks

Thats weird, because my NEO has a front camera and this specification for the NEO (hallon) has the secondary camera listed as well.
I suppose the NEO L has a speaker as its for LISTENING to a phone call from. The L being for listening
Please hit the "I dont know what I am talking about button"

Tomorrow i'll retry to send the request....
I think i've insert a wrong imei. Isn't it the number after "S/N" on the bottom of the tablet?
Can someone explain me where i can find the imei?

I'm not at home now, so I can't check the tablet, but the number after S/N is the serial number, not the IMEI.
However, what I used was the IDID number which is clearly printed under one of the many bar-codes on the box the tablet came in. You have to leave off the very last number of the IDID when you enter it to get the key.
Thank you

I came from an s3, flashed it to death, I'm getting withdrawl...
I Understand that unlocking the bootloader on the z1 broke various things.
Like camera (although I believe thats resolved in the latest update) and also the x reality?
Except I've read that unlocking the bootloader on z2 would lead to less quality on my camera?
Is this true?
Also, on z1 and other xperia phones, didn't they manage to enable xreality even without locked bootloader?
So, my question is simply this: without mentioning warranty
What do I lose by unlocking my bootloader, and anything thats lost could potentially get restored unofficially?
and could someone also interested in unlocking the bootloader, take some pictures before and after the unlock... please?
Things that are lost after unlock
DRM Keys
Warranty
Things that break:
X-Reality
OTA Update/any kind of update through sony pc companion or update service
Things that change:
All of the above
Updating and stuff , or anything at all. Just ask

I mentioned X-Reality and BIONZ. I don't know how reliable this answer is... Seems quite vague.
Their reply just says nothing is lost in fancy talk
I think x-reality engine stops but i cant test right now
I dont even have a rom installed

Sure, keep us posted.
Thanks for the replies guys.
So it seems nothing is lost...
Ota isn't an issue since.. Well we'll be flashing tweaks anyway.
X reality and camera is the thing I was most worried about and their email reply seems to confirm they're preserved.
So what are the drm keys for!!?

Keys are important for Sony's special offers and warranty.

So no keys means no lounge offers... Not sure I'd miss it too much tbh.
What about ps4 connectivity and other Sony exclusive things? Anyone?

Ps3 controller connection works fine, even throwing music to a ps3 and 4 works fine with a UBL (unlocked bootloader)

thanks for testing that, i heard there was ps4 camera connectivity.
For example: using playroom, draw on phone, the object comes to life on your camera ps4 screen and can be interacted with.
Seems a petty thing to ask but I just want the full lowdown on whats lost via unlock, this seems to be a sony exclusive z2 and z2tab feature so I'm wondering.. do drm keys affect ps4 interactivity in that way?
My XReality and "offers" are working just fine. I also updated to 17.1.A.2.55 yesterday through companion...
I was thinking about this the other day, if the drm keys (ta folder) are exclusive to each handset and sony themselves provide key for bootloader unlock, wouldnt sony be able to provide the folder if we supplied the serial number, imei etc. Obviously i'd be better off asking sony, just wondered what others thought? I can't see any reason why they wouldnt be able to, but can maybe understand why they may not want to
@shollywood...
You're rooted? If so, is the walkman app downloading music info? That seemed to be the other thing people mentioned might break

What exactly are these "offers" if I may ask? Also, does xreality even make a difference?
Can someone confirm that nothing important (except the warranty) is lost after unlocking bootloader ?
I dont't mind OTA updates and special offers.
If X-Reality, OTA updates and Some Xperia Market apps are not important then unlocking your bootloader is a big plus

Ok, I will wait before unlocking my device, I want to know exactly what I'll lose. For the moment, noone seems able to report precisely what is lost... It's really a shame...
Then, maybe a method to backup TA partition will be found sooner or later.

Yeah I am going to wait and see what happens. Now that more are getting the phone we will recieve more data and hopefully more people can look for exploits. Who knows maybe we don't even need to unlock the bootloader :victory:
Hello
I was using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and I change the phone to Xperia X, however I cannot have voLTE in the Xperia and Xiaomi I can.
I was checking and used the menu *#*#4636#*#* but I cannot activate it, looks disable and frozen toggle. I change the rom to branded and debranded roms and nothing.
What's wrong? Anyone can help me

Nothing is wrong, it's just not supported by phone. So, stop asking for it. If it's really necessary for you, go change your phone.
It's the first and only post mine asking. You don't need to be no polite. Any way thanks for your time.
