Sorry if this might be a neweb question, but I couldn't find the answer online.
Is the phone carrier locked? If so can it be unlocked? Will flashing a new rom solve the problem?
Thanks!
Yes, mine is locked in Vodafone RO.
The method i've seen till now is with sim unlock code using imei number. Hope there is another way, because i don't want to pay 40$ for a code.
i'm new in the android bussines and i don't know about flashing and stuff.
i heard rumors about rooting your phone and installing custom android. that will unlock it.
hi all, my xperia mini pro is locked to tesco mobile. does anyone now were to get a tesco unlock code and yes i have searched forums but nothing straight forward!!
anyone please any ideas
does unlocking bootloader remove simlock?
http://www.fastgsm.com/en/sonyericsson/se/xperia-mini-pro/unlock-network/flashing-debrand
found something £12-15
The sim lock is removed by paying an unlocking company to get you the code. It costed me $7.99 Canadian to get it done. There is plenty of websites that will do it for you. you just give them your imei # which is easy to find on the phone. They will send you back an unlock code. No the bootloader unlock will not unlock the sim.
thanks but i am on tesco uk so i dont think canadian unlock company will have uk codes.

if i use the bootloader unlocker does this unlock my network unlock i.e. allow use any sim?
if no does anybody know of a reputable site in the UK which is priced good and reliable i.e. allow future updates, as during my search i am sure i read if you use a certain unlock tool it can hinder updating the phone? but i just want to flash custom rom ?
can someone clarify please. tried search its either old info or not clear enough.
hopefully the answer can help future users with this subject in the year 2012.

No, it does not mean you can use any sim card.
my phone is network unlock, i cant upgrade my firmware via seus or se pc companion. but you can use flashtool to flash roms
thanks you both, after searching ive finally gathered it has to be sim unlocked by
factory, network provider.
using sites like http://simlock.com/ and da vinci team does this affect the bootloader unlock? i.e. flashing different kernals? im sure i read in the bootloader post that using 3rd party unlock your bootloader is locked again?
so for instance if i sim unlock from the sites mentioned, is my boot loader relocked or will i have to unlock it again after sim unlock?
at the moment my x10i is network locked to orange but 2.3.3 root/unlocked bootloader via flashtool.
I went whit cellunlocker.net
the best, used it on 3 phone.
takes about an hour to receive a code
and it do NOT interfere whit unlocking the boot loader
free unlock code from [email protected]
I called att today and to my suprise they gave me free unlock code for my sony x10 I bought it from a buddy of mine that got two phones lasy year and didnt pay the first bill

Hello,
Sadly, there isnt a free way of doing sim unlocks for this certain phone (again, sadly), the only thing you could do is wait for a 2-year contract to expire to get it unlocked by them OR buy an unlock code from a popular simunlock site (be aware - there are many sites that scam) :/
Best regards,

Hello everybody,
I friend of mine bought me an Xperia M4 Aqua from Vodafone UK. I live in Greece and when I put my Greek Sim in the phone I'l have to add a key/password to unlock it and use it.
After a research I found that I have to get the unlock code through Vodafone UK, but it has as requirement to have used the Vodafone sim for 1 month. Is there any way to unlock it right now? Will re-flashing the Stock ROM, or unlocking the Bootloader and flashing another do the trick?
Thank you!!
You can buy an unlock code from a third party website like www.unlockradar.com to unlock your Sony M4. They are reliable source and their customer support is the best. I'm own a repair shop and always unlock the phones with factory codes, because is the safest and quickest method.
Some of the m4 aquas show a 0 instead of a x under the sim unlock which means there hard locked and only Vodafone can unlock them which means costing around £20 unlock plus £10 to use the Vodafone sim for a month
