Greetings All,
Am new to android world and was wondering if you guys can help me here.
I have a sim locked HTC hero phone from Airtel ( Indian Carrier ) I realise I can get it unlocked and use any other sim.. however, I would loose the warranty bit of the phone. Just wondering, would I be able to lock it back if something goes wrong to send it back to HTC?
Also, any Airtel hero customers here? can you please confirm if the phone lacks any features when compared to unlocked hero's? if yes, will we get the phone to be "normal" after unlocking it??
Thanks for taking your time to help.

Removing the SIM lock from your phone should not invalidate your warranty, at least not here in the UK.

EDIT: I should add that rooting and/or installing a custom ROM on your phone, would likely invalidate your warranty but this is a completely separate issue from removing the SIM lock.

Thanks for your reply. warranty becomes void here if you unlock it. Do you think we would be able to revert it to the original state if need be?
I don't know of any way of relocking a SIM lock on the Hero. You could try PM'ing ferraripassion as he may know.
You may find that you are better off using a RebelSIM (hint: Google RebelSIM) rather than unlocking your phone.

Hi, first of all please forgive if this is not the right thread for posting this, now i have some question if somebody can help me. Network/sim lock is the same thing ? My bootloader is unlockable and after i enter the code for unlocking in the menu next to network to box is checked with an X, this mean my phone has one of these locks ? And finally i've read that s1tool can remove sim lock, does anyone knows if it safe to use with xperia p and if is this will make my bootloader unlockable ? Thanks, don't be to harsh.
I asked for full unlock (make bootloader unlockable) Alejandrissimo MR from http://unlock-bootloader.com and he gave me answer:
"New Xperia NTX phones has new security, so there is no way to unlock those phones at the present.
As all new phones the new security has the old security holes patched and find another weak point will take some time.
I'm sure there will be a solution in the future, maybe near future.
Greetings."
so then it will be possible at a certain time
I just enter network/SIM unlock code in my Xperia P and bootloader unlocked allow still say NO
So the conclusion is that removing network/SIM lock does not change bootloader unlocked status
why the bl is locked then i had xperia play and x10 and both unlocked

I honestly don't know. I'm very angry on Sony because of this and definitely wont buy any Sony phone in the future.
My network operator told me to insert SIM card from any other operator and when I do that a opo up dialog came up requesting from me to enter network unlock code. I entered provided code and in Service/Configuration Unlocked bootloader allowed still said NO :crying:
Carrier branded versions of phones are generally not unockable as stated by sony.
To sim unlock the phone with a code wont change the bootloader lock/unlock status
Actually nothing will change this status.
So all we can hope is that somebody can do the same to the P than to the S: install CWM despite locked bootloader.

Well, this depends ONLY on your network operator. If you buy a contract cheap phone from provider, the provider is in the position to make the choice if they give you a unlockable or non-unlockable bootloader. This is NOT sonys decision, be mad with your operator or yourself for buying a phone from them instead a free one. It is the same for all manufacters.

So my operator can unlock the bootloader?

Hi, sorry to be a pain, but does this mean that xperia s cannot be unlocked for now?, what if i manage to unlock the bootloader and flash a CFW, will that unlock the sim status? i hope someone could answer me
No, it won't.
There is just one case (movil in spain) where the provider requested at Sony to provide bootloader via the online system.
but this is a very special case.
netlock unlock is decoupled from bootloader unlock. the IMEIs of phone delivered to provides with netlock are not in their online system so no unlock code for the bootloader can be generated even if you get an unlock code for the netlock
but... in my xperia p i have network/sim lock YES, why ?
Thread moved as it is in the wrong section. Do not post Q & A threads in Dev section.
Hi there,
Any news regarding SIM lock unlock?
I have a friend who has this phone, bought from T and he wants to use a Voda sim card in it.
Is it possible, without paying a lot to T to tell the unlock code?
Thanks in advance!

As far as i know, no its not you will have to sort this out with t-mobile, its only about 15 pounds though isnt it?
a good thing on living on Brazil is that our cellphones are tottaly unlocked, and it's ruled by the goverment
and it's really terrible unlock SIM on Sony devices, I'm witth Xperia U from Portugal, and it's just terrible to manage how use a Brazillian SIM...
Hi, recently I bought an atrix 4g with the broken glass. I replaced it, unlock the bootloader and flash the cm10 in it. I bought the code to unlock and when inserted it says that failed. Could this happend because the rom is not the original? I made a back up but the micro sd card stopped working and now I don't have any way to go back to stock. I'm not sure but I tink that the network lock is t-mobile uk.. Can I found out what carrier is the phone locked? Can I download the stock rom or OTA? Thanks to all

So... You got yourself an used atrix, unlocked it and flash the sh*t out of it without even check which carrier was bound to it..?
And, on top of that, you bought an unlocvk code for a company that you didn't even known?
Smart choice...
You can still ask the original owner for the company it was locked on.....

I asked and he says that was locked to t mobile. I didn't saw wich carrier was blocked because I didn't know how. Its a trusted seller, it's the 5 code that I bought from him.

YES it will work perfectly fine as this is fully functional mobile but just for demonstration or demo use.
PURPOSE: Demo on Display, Company owned demo sets for promotion

LG has released the H850 for different geographical regions. The bootloader is only unlockable on the European version of the H850, and it's possible that your H850 is from one of the blacklisted regions. You can get some information by looking at the software version in "About Phone" in Settings. You're looking for something like "V10i-EUR-XX."
Now question is how can i unlock boot loader ? If i have different 850 model..so it means i cannot unlock boot loader by any means ? And cant instal any custom rom ever ?

Autoprime has published the definitive thread on unlocking the H850 bootloader here:

Good luck!
I found out the G5 I have is a marketing model. Sucks since I can't seem to unlock the bootloader since the LG Developers website doesn't give the unlock.bin for this models imei and id numbers.
Is there any other way to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was going to flash the Lineage OS 16 Rom to it. Having android 9 on it would extend the lifespan of this good old flagship a little bit more for me.

How? Got a specific rom link?
Good news.
Today i unlocked my IOT-H850-marketing.
You can flash any h850 kdz.
My H850 running Android 8 V30f-EUR-XX
First it was not possible on bootloader unlock website.
I wrote a email to LG.

Hello,
I can not bootloader unlock my LG G5 (H850).
It is a device for the european market.
LG Unlock website shows this error:
"Unfortunately, your device( IOT_H850_Marketing.EUA )does not support unlocking the bootloader. Your account will be locked if you enter the wrong information more than 8 times."
Thats my 3rd lg g5. No unlock problems with the other two devices.
Maybe the mainboard from the not unlockable device was repaired or mainboard replaced in past.
This device is not working:
IMEI: [COLOR="red"]your IMEI[/COLOR]
Device ID: [COLOR="red"] your ID[/COLOR]
Android 8 installed V30f-EUR-XX
Can you check why it is not working?

Woah Cool! So they changed so you can unlock it now? Great, gonna try this later when I'm free.
Hey so I tried to contact them as well but got no response. Do they need to specifically allow an unlock for every one of these marketing units?
Wait some more days.

You were right ha, just got the reply. Success peeps !
Yeah, it worked. Took about a week to get a reply, but it really worked. It seems they unlock the units one by one this way.
Thank you!
Congrats on unlocking your G5
