Hi guys,
sorry if I'm posting this in Tablet Z section but as far as I can see there's no one for the Z2. Anyway, I'd like to know if the bootloader unlock on a Z2 no brand LTE version is still possible. I'm thinking about buying one but If I can't unlock the bootloader I don't know If I will, probably not.
What do you know about It?
Thanks
There is a section for it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet
But, I guess it will be unlockable, yes...

Normally, the bootloader locked tablets are only the one sold through a carrier...

I'm going no brand. So, is there any even tiny little piece of chance that the bootloader will be unlockable? That's very important to me *.*

as a non-developer me, i couldn't think why i need it. Not until there's a developer who can do something great with the unlocked bootloader. and there's even a slightest chances to get the phone bricked. as for the step to unlock it, seems quite difficult too. is there any easiest way to understand?

i actually not mind of waiting a while more. since i just have my x10 7 months ago ( well count as long though ) but quite satisfied already with custom rom even without bootloader unlocked.
This is the only method we unlock bootloader and very easy just run a file and u r unlocked

If you have a sim-lock, you cannot use other sim cards from other couriers except for the courier you have a contract for.

then i don't think i have the sim-lock thing. i bought my phone straight with cash without contract or anything and bought an extra sim card for it.
Don't mean to hijack this thread, but it has been a little while since I've been on xda for the x10...
I see that the boot loader has been fully unlocked but what is the advantage over the previous kernel bypass method?
I understand we can now make a real brick... don't think that is an advantage...
Are kernels on an unlocked phone more stable than before, or does this have bigger implications than just the kernel?
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?

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.

Since the Unlocking Tool is from Motorola, will it allow the Photon Bootloader to be unlocked without disabling 4G/WiMax on custom ROMs that require an unlocked bootloader?

No. Doesn't currently work with photon. This can easily be found out by looking at the supported devices.

Damn, I feel stupid. I read way too fast over the 4 pages I looked at. I seen Photon, but didn't read the "LTE" and the end of it. Sorry folks.

It's not on the unlockable device list, but it may be in the near future.
We can sit around and wait for Motorola to do it. Or we could all sign an online petition and show them how big the community is, and how much business they'll loose if they don't unlock bootloaders!

Already been done. Either they will or won't and I think they've already decided which way they plan on going. I don't believe that anything that we do now will change their mind.

The most reliable service. Just make sure you have enough counts to unlock.
In addition to the above poster's URL, there's also http://www.cellunlocker.net/sony-ericsson-unlock.php
I provided the AT&T link first because it's free to unlock. If AT&T gives you a hard time, I'd go with cellunlocker.

Check the CDA code of your device and look it up in XperiFirm, in that way you should know your carrier.
