Just got an Xperia M4 Aqua and I am trying to work out if I can unlock the network by getting an unlock code of ebay, etc?
When I go into the service info menu and select sim lock I see:
[o] Network 5
I believe the right hand number (5) is the number of retries but usually you see an [x] on the left not a [o].
See a few conflicting things on the web about whether this can or can't network unlocked and hoping someone can give me a straight answer.
Thanks.
Normally, you can apply for SIM unlock from your carrier, at least in the US. Check with your carrier
Are you sure it's not already unlocked?
My Aqua came network unlocked straight out of the box.
You can try chimera tools,,, it based on Windows version,, also it's better to root your phone before use chimera.

You flashed a branded ROM, Claro is a mexican mobile network.
Why don't you go ahead and flash an unbranded ROM?
either way, you're gonna have to deal with the sim lock.
if you have a code, just insert a diffrent carrier on you device and the code screen will pop up when android starts.
here's a few threads that could help you with that matter:

Hi everybody,
I'm having a very confusing problem with my Xperia Neo and I hope somebody can shed a little bit of light on it!!
I recently brought my old Xperia Neo to a repair center and, when I got back the phone, they told me that the handset had been replaced.
Now, I have a Xperia Neo manufactured on week 12W25....
The problem is that my phone was originally Network Locked for Vodafone Spain and I unlocked it....now of course the new phone they gave me should be locked too.
Here is what happens when I try to insert any sim (not Vodafone Spain, as I live in the UK now) into the phone:
The sim is read, and if it has a PIN, I am asked for it
I am NOT asked for a Network Unlcok Code
Once I insert the PIN, the Wizard for choosing the language appears
Once I choose the language, a popup appears saying: Insert SIM card and restart phone.
At this point the phone started up, but I have only Emergency calls enabled!
It looks like the phone is locked, right?
Well, here the situation gets confusing: I tried to insert the code "*#*#7378423#*#*" and, in Service Info -> SIM Lock I see this:
[] Network 0
[] Network Subset 0
.... etc....
That is, it looks like my phone is not locked in the first place....right???
Can you guy explain to me what's happening? And maybe point me to a solution??
All previous methods of unlocking I used (Omnius and FastGsm X Unlock tool) didn't work so I don't know what to do.....
Thank you very much!!!!
Hi Guys , I bought Sony Aqua M4 from UK i recently moved to India , when i came back to india it asked for "sim network unlock pin " i entered couple of pins randomly and it says sim network unlock pin limit reached that means "0" so is there any chance of unlocking the phone or restoring back to company default settings.
Can any one let me know please thanks in deed

You probably bought a locked phone, so no, not really. Without paying to unlock it. Contact the provider you bought it through.

You need to send the phone to sony, so they can reset the unlock counter, the code for network unlock is paid, you have to bought it.
You need the pac code from the UK network the device was originally on to unlock to any network. Most UK networks will give you the code for nothing

Hi all,
I have a Huawei Mate 2 from Freedom (Wind) Mobile. I have updated it to Lollipop 5.1 by unlocking the bootloader. In fact I made a guide for it a while back.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/guide-step-step-wind-mobile-canada-t3387490
Recently in Canada the cellular service providers are forced by law to give us an unlock code for free. After unlocking the phone would work with any service provider. This phone has a pretty big battery and would be ideal for a travel or backup phone.
I successfully got an unlock code from Freedom (which was pretty easy). I then put in sim cards from another provider (Koodo, Fido, etc). However the screen for me to enter the unlock code never popped up. It just say "no service".
I tried to manually set it up, by clicking the notification. "No Service: Selected network (Telus 3G) unavailable". However it won't register. Neither did the unlock code entering screen ever pop up.
And under data settings it say no SIM card. However the phone works perfectly when I insert my Freedom SIM card. But when a foreign SIM card was inserted it just say no SIM.
My question is has anyone been able to unlock this phone under Lollipop 5.1? How did you get to the "Enter Unlock Code" screen?
I also wonder if anyone has any luck unlocking with the original Android 4.3. If someone did, maybe I should flash the phone back to its original OS.
Thanks in advance!

Click to collapse
Thank you for the information, mine also shows "unlocked" in the engineer mode. I guess we need to try with another carrier
When insert other carrier sim that carrier toolkit app appears in apps but no signal
Also my phone imei is blocked
So i don't know whether there are no signals due to carrier lock or imei block
