Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum.
I recently bought an Xperia Mini pro and would like to completely unlock it.
I saw some peoples who remotely unlock those phones with SETool.
There is also a software called Omnius and would like to know if it can unlock SIM, fastboot and bootloader on Xperia Mini Pro SK17i, this isn't specified in any post.
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Hy!
Yes, you can unlock it with Omnius, I unlocked my phone today in this way.
You need to buy one Android Single Unlock license.
Thank you Sir.
Done.
sorry to bump old thread.. will this work for carrier locked phones bootloaders also? or just sim lock and leave bootloader locked with no fast boot?
Omnius just deals with SIM-lock (and works well: I unlocked my SK17i this way). You need to then use another method (eg Doomlord's) to root. HTH.
Does anyone know if omnius unlock will work if the "allow bootloader unlock: no" setting is present? Can't seem to find any information about this on their website.
I hate my carrier so much...
thx

Yes, because mine didn't allow unlocking the bootloader, and I unlocked it with the "Android single unlock" license by Omnius.
Thanks for clarifying that. I assumed that was the case, but I wanted to check before handing over the monies!
Hi friends,
Before buying this cute smartphone, I want to know if we have solutions to unsimlock the Xperia S.
Thank you all
if you have option, buy unlocked one
why?
1) phone is locked so no other network
2)unlocking phone would be very expensive since is new so £30-40 + wait to people work out how to (price in highstreet)
3)instatly lose warranty - (test point)
4) locked bootloader no fun on xda
-no fastboot
-no unlocked botlooader
-no xrecovery
-no custom rom
-no root
- long wait for update.
- i am not sure whether unlock simlock = unlocked bootloader.

Currently there is no free Sim Unlock in the DEV section. Best check next time before asking
The phone has been out around 3 weeks, might be a while before a solution can be found.
I have checked more than you can imagine that's why I have asked to know if there is a solution because I didn't find it
Docomo unlocked at purchase for $39 USD
Sent from my SO-02D using xda premium
I won my Xperia S in a competition from Three UK.
I'm on Orange and have my contract to pay so I asked Three for an unlock code. They've had to speak to Sony because even Three don't have a code yet.
I paid £15 on 9th March and I'm still waiting for an unlock, just want to use my beautiful Xperia

Are you sure?
A network locked phone cannot be root and no unlocked bootloader?
my X10 was locked and I could root it easily and flash other official roms (different baseband).
Then I sim-unlocked it before flashing custom roms, so I don't know if I am able to do that with a locked phone though.

Just got my Xperia unlocked officially from Three UK. So it works on any network however all the Three integration is still there and after checking the bootloader status I am unable to unlock the bootloader as of now.
So although it's unlocked to any network, it's still kinda locked with regards to the bootloader and rooting.

Have you flashed an un-brand firmware? (there is a way to flash another official rom without rooting/unlocking) Maybe it would be bootloader unlock-able after that...? (i really not sure about this)
But there should be a way to root the phone without bootloader unlocked soon or later anyway (just like the others)
and i know that the X10 can be bootloader unlock even with simlock (although the method came out quite late...)
it's just a matter of time, shouldn't be the end of the world

I've not flashed any new firmware as of yet because I'm not confident in what I'm doing haha. I'm not rushing to find anything, but would like to root at some stage. And if I can unlock the bootloader I would
IMEI UNLOCK Sony Xperia S
Hi,
I planing to buy a Sony Xperia S and IMEI unlock it...Maybe this is a stupid question but if I buy the Xperia S new, is it possible it comes already with blocked counter? or every Xperia S comes with 5 to 10 attempts? and if it comes with factory blocked counter, is it still possible to remove simlock? Would it be to expensive? I really need to know this in order to know if I buy the Xperia S or not. Sorry if it is a dumb question but I was an iOS user 'til now. Sorry if I post this in the wrong thread.
Thank you!!
I bought my Z2 from EE in the uk and i was very sad to find out that EE and other carriers stop you from unlocking the bootloader. So if i sim unlock my phone from EE, will i be able to unlock the bootloader? If not is there any other way i can make it say yes??

No and no.
This has been answered before. If you bootloader is locked, there is no practical way to unlock it.
Hello everyone, I hope someone has an idea if I can unlock the bootloader or its impossible, because I've been trying more than a month to find a way to unlock my bootloader to root the phone but not a single chance and my phone is Canadian was locked to bell but I unlocked the phone.
Thanks
