I have the code to unlock my Xperia S, got it for free from my provider
But I do not have an "locked" sim card.
How do I enter the code then?
Just pop in any other SIM and it'll ask you to enter the unlock code.

Damn.. I want to unlock my bootloader now.
Or, if you must unlock it now, go ask someone who has another provider for their SIM for a few seconds.
problem solved. Next time post this in the Q&A section.

Yes that would be a solution, but it makes it alittle harder to get hold of a micro sim..
Oh sorry, tought that was like a FAQ section. Maybe a mod could move it?
You won't be unlocking the bootloader I don't think, just the sim lock on the phone.

Sim unlocking the phone doesn't seem to have anything to do with the bootloader unlock. And if you don't have another SIM card, then you probably don't have to even SIM unlock your phone in the first place.
There are some users on this forum which claimed SIM unlocking the phone will get rid of the bootloader lock as well. I have unlocked my phone, and have proven this to be false. Strangely, whenever I questioned the users for their proof they never posted it.

You are right. I don't actually need to remove the sim lock. But I read somewhere that the bootloader became unlockable when the sim lock was removed.
But if that wasn't true for you, it probably won't be for me neither..
Doing a SIM unlock will not unlock the bootloader. Both are unrelated. As long as there isn't a test point method you will not be able to unlock the bootloader.

Hi guys, I bought a Xperia go ST27i from Austria (T-Mobile) and I'm trying to unlock it because of the startup message "SIM network unlock PIN".
I have been looking for a solution on the web for a long time and I haven't found it yet.
Could somebody help me about that?
Thank you.

ok, as far as i know you can remove the SIM lock by entering a network/SIM unlock code. You can usually get one from your provider. You have to pay them of course... :crying:
I know that german T-Mobile phones can be unlocked that way, not sure if its the same in Austria...
Removing the SIM lock does not affect the status of your bootloader! If its locked it will stay locked.

Thank you stothegee, I really apreciate your help!
I have been looking for a topic about it in T-Mobile website and I didn't find nothing good.
In the meanwhile I found this service:
cellfservices com => "unlock-sony-st27i" (I can't post links yet)
Do you know it? I would like to know if it's reliable or not.
Thank you for the help

As far as I know, unlocking bootloader doesn't require root. Data partition will be erased

Is unlocking bootloader is the same as unlock sim? because I want to unlock it from one service so I can put any sim card in.

Nope, for sim unlock you need to go to your service or pay to online service that will give you code and instructions how to unlock it..
