I am looking to buy a second hand Xperia Z2, but it is on the EE network in the UK. As I am on o2 I'd need to get it unlocked, and was wondering if anyone could confirm if it's possible, and easiest/cheapest way to do this.
There are some unlock codes for sale on ebay, but I have no experience in knowing if these are any good
thanks

I bought code from electronic shop.
I know they ordered code from web based in my IMEI but I don't know where from.
Just find seller that will offer guarantee - so if code doesn't work you can ask for new or money return...
I unlocked Z1 that way and it worked without any problems...

Hello, I just buyed sony ericsson xperia x10 from rogers(canada)...but i wanna put fido sim in it......so anyone can help me to unlock my cellphone for free.....by using any method.......code or flashing........
Best Regards
SHIN
No unlock hack has been achieved yet, you will need an unlock code which generally costs money.
$6 bucks unlock for the Rogers X10a http://www.mobileincanada.com/?l=en&u=all&coupon=facebook
Don't fido sims already work in Rogers' phones and visa versa??
Nope. Rogers is Rogers, Fido is Fido. Not the same..
When i ordered it I thought Rogers own fido and may be fido sim gonna work on it.....but after doing some google i found that it should be unlocked......
I bought a Rogers LOCKED X10a recently thinking I can buy the unlock code to unlock the phone and use on AT&T. Unfortunately, all 5 places I tried who claim to unlock Rogers branded phones refunded my payment saying they could not find unlock code for my phone.
I am wondering why my phone still has no unlock code. Does it take a while to get the unlock codes to these vendors for new X10a?
I tried much unlock webstore too... and i found one who give me an Manufacturer's Code (not an operator CODE).... it match for any operator !!!
http://www.deblocage-sony.com/EN/unlocking+SonyEricsson+Xperia-X10.php
But it's very expensive : 39€ ($53.99 CAD)
I use the NCK code :
fill your target SIMcard in your X10
Fill your SIMcard PIN CODE
Fill the NCK CODE
reboot
> Your X10 must be unlocked for ever, for any provider..

+1 to this.. I am in the same boat as you are...
Tried many different places and all result with "Code not found" or "Code not available". I am waiting for the other place to get me the manufacture code and hopefully it will work. Of course.. the unlock service cost more ...

Let me know if that works. I am anyway thinking to sell the black X10a as I prefer the white version. I might as well get it unlocked before selling to get decent price.

I prefer white version myself, too...
Got my phone unlocked, but the cost of unlocking might not be able to justify when you sell it ... If you are going to sell it, either sell it locked or just keep it and use it.. OR buy a white case from deal extreme for $28USD

After I got my black X10a from rogers Canada for under $5 the code was sent to me and worked perfectly. Just search on ebay unlock by code rogers xperia x10. The seller with the red icon Rogers unlock code works every time plus if something doesn't work you covered by paypal.
Just make sure you write IMEI number correctly.

+1 from me too. Mobileincanada delivered a working code to me within an hour.
but now im nervous because of these reports. I have to send mine in to rogers and will be getting a replacement, and will have to get the new one unlocked again.
I tried all these unlockers and everyone refunded my money saying they don't have unlock code yet for my Rogers branded X10a Black.
Here are the places I tried:
MykleCell Inc.
MobileInCanada.com
www.primomobile.net
Cellunlocker.net
Swift Unlocks
I don't want to try the expensive places yet as I am receiving an unlocked X10a in white now which I prefer over black. I will wait a week or so to see if any of these $5 unlock places can find a code.
I know this is offtopic but does anyone know if unlocking voids warranty with Rogers?
I know what the reps say but I'm curious if anyone has experience with this.
hi xda developers!
my uncle sent me an xperia x10 which is originally orange locked so i want to unlock it to use here in philippines. i tried to bring it to the technicians and they're charging me lot of cost and i don't even have a visa card or credit card to buy unlock codes or software online...so can you guys please help me to sort this problem out? please
You can't unlock the phone. There is a software mod to unlock but not sure if you can find it. You will have to buy the code/unlock . I don't see anything else
Damn there was a site for this that was free! Only I forgot it... I will try to search for it for you!
thanks so much! will greatly appreciate your help to sort this out...thanks!
i just noticed, where did my other comment go? is there something wrong with my post?
Do you mean sim locked?
yes it is....
hey guys can you please check this out?
it says that it can unlock sony ericsson mobile phones for free but unfortunately i can't also download it here in our country.

waiting for the end of the contract
maybe u`re thinking about http://www.omnius-server.com/, but they can`t unlock x10, only 90% of se models can be unlocked for free by that site

is there any other way i can unlock my x10 for free?
Yeah, I think Omnius *used* to have an option to unlock the X10 for free during a promotional period about a year ago for a couple weeks. I'm not sure if they could have done any of the Orange branded X10s.
Unfortunately, Orange is one of the most difficult (and costly) phones to unlock. The absolutely cheapest way for you to unlock it is to call Orange and see if they'll be kind enough to unlock it (I think Orange UK charges 20-25 Pounds or so, unsure of Orange France).
Only other option is to go with one of the remote unlockers. There are a couple companies that can send you a code with your IMEI but expect to wait around 25 days to save a few (and i do mean, few) dollars.

no but service provider (orange) will unlock it for free after 6 months of contract.
hey
i just started browsing around for you and whenever i got a carrier locked phone i always used IMEI unlock codes
try this http://www.cellunlocker.net/blog/2010/06/how-to-unlock-sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/
thanks for all your response, actually orange uk is charging 20 pounds to unlock it but unfortunately my uncle wasn't able to organize it as it was already sent to me via dhl. i don't know if they will still allow it to be unlocked as it's already here in philippines. I've been trying to browse around the unlockers to get a code or software to unlock it but as what i've seen there are lots of issues like:
on htccode what i saw just now is their system is seem down as per some client's recent posts who are wanting to get their money back.
and some other unlockers offer the code but will have to wait for 5-10 days. i know this is absurd but i have an itchy hand now so i really want to unlock it really quick and use it right away.
anyway thanks to all of you... if i get to unlock this soon i will post it here.
Hi! I'm also looking for the cheapest code, but for now, the winner is mrunlock for 20 pounds... I don't know if I can trust it... Have you find something cheaper???
I've done some googling around and cant seem to find an answer that makes sense, I just would like to know if im able to unlock a Sony Xperia P on the O2 network so that i can use it with other phone networks?
Bump, surely someone must have done this, or know the answer? please just say yes or no?

I have done this, you need to ring o2 and ask for the the unlock code, they should give you it for free.
Then when you put a different network sim in your phone, it'll ask you for the code to unlock the phone.
Remember the thanks button.
Cheers,
Lunar.

Hi Borchouk,
did you get the unlock code from mrunlock? Did the code work as supposed - have you unlocked your XP?
10x you in advance for the reply.

Hi
They could NOT unlock my XPERIA P. Here I post the answer from mrunlock
"Unlock Code Unavailable
Your order will be refunded in full under our satisfaction guarantee.
This could be because the phone manufacturer has not yet added it to their database, it is an unsupported model, or you accidentally entered the IMEI for a different phone.
If you would still like to unlock your handset then please try your local independent phone shop / market trader as they may be able to do this with hardware.
It is also worth testing your phone with different SIM cards to double check it is still locked as sometimes you may find it works when you do not expect it to."
Also they have not refund me yet
i have since got my phone unlocked, it wasnt easy to find somewhere to do it, this is a hard device to unlock it seems, your best bet is getting in touch with the company your phones locked to, I got mine unlocked by o2 themselves free of charge, but thats because my ebay seller was very helpful and filled out a short form for me after i requested.

What kind of information does O2 need to unlock the phone?
I got in touch with my ebay seller (the original owner) and she filled out a form for me, im not too sure what details she had to put forward but i dont think its anything you could obtain unless you were the original owner, i was told however of another way around this but its not free. You have to get an o2 payg sim, top it up with like 20 pounds, make a few phone calls from the phone so it registers with your imei number, then with at least 15 pounds left submit an unlock form for payg sim to o2

I had a z2 from which I unlocked via o2 for free ( excellent service ) but my phone became faulty so sent it off to Sony for repair. Sony sent me a replacement phone which was o2 branded and o2 locked. I asked o2 for the unlock code but have been told the imei isn't on the database.
So I want to try buying an unlock code but wanted someone who's bought one successfully to recommend someone to me.
Anyone help ?
Thanks Si

Unlocked both my z1 and z2 from this ebayer. It will take a few days but it'll definitely work. Read the description first.
At £15 yes it's a lot but cheapest I could find and with eBay you could always refund if something goes wrong.
As for Sony repair service I need to send mine in too maybe you could take a look at my thread and help me out too.

Thanks for the link , found that myself earlier so might give that a go if o2, Sony or HTCCODE ( I've bought a code from them for £18 already last Tuesday ) don't come through

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I am in the same situation.
I have a z2 which I bought from vodafone, without a sim. I got it unlocked back in January no problem via an ebay seller.
Recently, I had to send my z2 back to sony for repair due to a charging problem, which was fixed (by replacing the board).
Great, but they also sent it back locked to vodafone, with different IMEI.
Vodafone will not unlock it even though I'm willing to pay.
Several ebay sellers have failed, saying things like "server problems" and "not found in database"
I'm really stuck, I'm on my 5th ebay unlocker now but not very optimistic about it.
The phone is not barred, it's only showing a network lock with tries available in the service info screen, as expected.
Does anyone know of a service that will work? I've had my z2 back for 3 weeks now and cannot use it
I've searched for this, but can't find any real answers.
I currently have an Xperia Z2 SIMlocked to EE in the UK. Can anyone recommend a reputable, preferably quick, service for unlocking it?
(I assume that it can't be done for free)
Has anyone used these services? What are they like?
Thanks in advance.

Do you still have EE? Than you can unlock it officialy on the homepage of EE
It will cost £20.42
Yeah, but haven't had the phone for six months. EE have very low data plans, which aren't much use for me. My wife is going to take over my contract and I'm going to go with 3, who give you unlimited data.
