That might be carrier related, because I have an unlocked C6802 and am able to update over carrier-provided data just fine. I'm on T-Mobile in the states.

Yes, that may be it. I guess the carrier would not wish millions of otas
I can't find any other reason.

I have similar problem with it being greyed out. Have checked with my carrier Three UK, have looked at phones in their shop, shows same. They say it is Sony problem. Did live chat with Sony, as expected, as much use as a chocolate fire guard.
Oops sorry guys, just realised
That have posted in wrong area. I have a Z1Compact.

I had my s3 supplied by orange UK and thought that it would probably be locked to orange although there was no branding on the box or phone.
Started looking over the net to see how I could check and found that if you enter *# 7465625# and they read off or disabled then your phone is completely unlocked.
Mine is which is a real bonus so well chuffed.
Sorry if this was already known to everyone but was new to me and thought it might be useful for some people.

Got mine direct from O2, presumed it was locked down tight but using the code you provided it shows as fully unlocked.
Bonus!
Thanks for pointing this out
Could be due to the delay just to get the phones out the networks haven't had time to put their code into Android, perhaps when they get all the preorders out future ones will.
Mine is from Affordable mobiles so I know it will not be locked
I was told that I had a version of orange software on here, although no orange apps etc. But phone was really buggy so flashed with the latest release, been really good since the.
Just pleased its not locked also, helps in the event I don't remain happy with it and decide to sell it.

It certainly looks that way! I got mine on preorder and it came unlocked, whilst other O2 folks who waited till after release got a locked phone.
I asked O2 what benefits there were for preordering with them but they didn't mention it being unlocked! In fact, they didn't mention any benefits!
Vodafone contract handset "box only" means no contract just paid £475 for handset and it's unlocked.
SIII'ed
On orange uk and its locked
Also i can't believe orange have removed the firmware update option with there bloatware
Is T-Mobile batch unlocked? If so, would it work abroad?

Got my rather wonderful Galaxy S3 on Vodafone contract.
Unfortunately that USSD code doesn't seem to work on mine.
The phone and firmware is unbranded though.
So I'm guessing its open to all networks?
Plus the phone arrived in a Samsung white box, and not a Vodafone one.

So i bought a samsung galaxy note off a guy on craigslist about 3-4 weeks ago and today i noticed i didnt recieve any calls or texts from anyone, so i checked my phone and could get a signal at all, so i reset the phone to factory using kies and now it says, Phone Not Allowed MM#6 and i cant connect to any network
someone please help and tell me what i can possibly do to solve this issue
I did a little research and it could be a few things... Either you've gave the carrier the wrong IME number or the phone was reported lost or stolen by the original customer... I would call the carrier the phone is for and ask them. Also if the original owner hasn't paid his phone bill the carrier can lock the ime from being used... I've heard a lot of people buying phones on Craigslist like that...

tried calling att to see if blocked = not blacklisted so no fix
called T-Mobile to see if blocked = not blacklisted so no fix
tried to install custom rom = no fix
tried to restore phone thru kies = no fix
tried my sim in my GF's phone = my sim works perfect

so it's an AT&T note and you're using it on Tmobile right? have you tried an AT&T sim? If you don't have one available to you, I think you can go into an AT&T store and ask them if they can do a quick check for you. Be sweet, apologetic for using their time, maybe send your gf in to flirt with them a little they'll more than likely give you a hand.

What modem is showing in the phone ? (needs blaze modem for TMO, if it's an ATT device)
And are your APN settings correct ? (needs the TMO apn's)
Two nails in the coffin for service if not correct.....

And sometimes the network around you has a brain-fart. Sometimes those problems go away within a day.

Unlock is permanent. Getting t- mobile to work on the at&t version is hit-or-miss.
Its just weird that I had this phone working for over a month now and no problems what so ever till now, and its only T-Mobile Sims that are locked out

I'd recommend both of you contacting the developer and say it's not working on the Xperia Z Ultra, period, that'll put them into action quickly. Also, give them a link to this thread, that always speeds things along.

This happened to me when I lost my TA partition. I would check to see if you still have DRM keys under the service menu. If you purchased your phones off of ebay or swappa they have been unlocked and then relocked prior to selling.
I just got my new phone back as they sent a replacement and I put my sim card in my phone and I changed my apn settings maybe they are wrong but I have tried many things on the internet I have seen. It worked on my other z ultra.
So you do not have an option that automatically set that up for you?
Like on my phone I clicked on MORE under Wireless and Networks then Internet Settings and it found providers for me then I click ATT and done.
It was a surprising option that I really like but not sure if that is on yours too.

I purchased a used ZU c6806 for ATT off of swappa. Right off the bat I could not get cell network to connect for voice. I'm coming from an ATT note 3 FYI. Well, I called ATT to see if I needed to do anything to make the change but they said I could just insert the SIM from the Note 3 and I would get voice(at least.) It still gave a fit and it was getting late so I put it aside. Later the next day I tried again and it worked, so I thought. Went a day using it and I lost cell signal and could not get it back. Is there something here that I am missing that I could try to regain signal? The phone sees that there is no SIM inserted and knows when one is inserted. Could there just be bum radios on this unit? In the mean time I updated to 757 from 4.2.2 with no change in the no signal issue. I see in the older firmware the network operators can be chosen but on kit kat I don't have that option in the menu.
thanks,
Tom

There has been one or two people that have has a loose antenna in their ZU, only way to tell is to take the back off. Maybe that is why the last owner was selling?

Not with Sony tools, but you can with flashtool and FTF's. But 757 is much better (fewer bugs) than 681.
