I've owned by X1 since February but have now moved onto a 'Touch Pro 2', does anyone know how to unlock the handset to all networks as I want to sell it.
Thanks

im pretty sure the x1 was always unlocked on all networks - it was for me anyway - flash a generic rom though - visit the rom section of the xperia forum and follow the tutorials if u like unless its generic already

A friend of mine has purchased an iphone and has tried to unlock it, i am not sure what has gone wrong but he cant reload the software after unlocking. does any one have any clue to this
regards,

One of the most important parts of unlocking the iPhone is reading and understanding the instructions.
Much like reading and understanding the forum titles and purposes of the forums There's a thread for iPhone support which has some useful links.
Can't put the firmware back on could be so many, many different things that it's impossible to help without more information.
what firmware does he have.. 1.1.2 or earlier.
if he has an iphone with otb 1.1.1 or lower it could be unlocked easily. pm me. if newer than for now turbosim from bladox is the way to go....

Hi all,
Does anybody have the Xperia Vodafone UK ROM?
I know that this question has been posted on here numerous times, because I have sifted through the posts looking for this ROM. I have even contacted members of this forum personally to try and obtain this ROM. Sorry to post on this topic AGAIN, but I desperately need this ROM for warranty purposes.
Any help is very much appreciated.

go to the search at the top of the forum
type in the words
xperia vodafone uk rom dumped
and see what happens.
alternatively look through the xperia roms and guides thread, maybe you didn't bother "sifting" past page 7 'cos it's on page 8.
Yea cheers for the info "Sherlock". Funnily enough that page already has an entry in my browser history...
The problem is that the link on page 8 does not work, hence the purpose of my original post.
Although your post did provide some useful information related to my query, next time do everyone and pull your head out of your arse (ass) before making a post of your own.

Listen very carefully.. I really don't like that attitude.
I took the time to rebuild the stock VFUK rom, i posted it.
The link does work, because I've just tested it.
It is on page 8 of the xperia roms thread, which points to here.
ftp://minftp.myftp.org/XperiaX1i/ROMs/VFUK-rebuilt/
The file is called RUU_signed.nbh
Now if you thought the link didn't work then you should of ;
a) said that you'd tried the link.
b) checked to see if anyone else had the problem,
c) if you had that page bookmarked then you'd know that I posted it, yet you didn't ask me for it
So next time as a new member I suggest you be a damn sight more polite!

No!
You need a vodafone touchHD rom!
But I can't find it...
Maybe vodafone never sell touchHD and there is no vodafone rom for it...
no, they dont sell them. orange and o2 are the only ones. a well, ill stick to my 6.5 rom...... think it would be hard to go back anyway.
thanks
Hello i very seriously considering buying the diamond on an orange contract- However i intend to use the phone with my 02 CPW sim because it has unlimited web so the question is if i have this phone unlocked how much would it cost? and if i had it locked will i be able to use all the features inc email, internet sync with microsoft exchange as per usual?
thanks in anticipation
any one out there?

seach google for diamond sim unlock..... i think it $10(not sure)
and yes u can still use all the features!!!
Check the first sticky in the Diamond Rom Development thread, one of our experts has a proper site set up for it, cheap and 100% effective.
and just to confirm, yes, all features are usuable, it just releases the sim lock on the device to accept all operators.
Just to make it easy for you:

Thanks to Olipro for this
Thanks for your replies, very helpful. Just to be 100% clear then all i need to do is unlock and i can you use all the features with my 02 cpw sim without any changes to the phone. i was just thought that there may be software ect unique to orange that would need to be changed as well? thanks for your patience and sorry about my ignorance i just want to be sure before i buy
thanks
I have moved his over to the appropiate section and copied and pasted my question.
I am new to this forum and apologize for my noobness in advance as i wasn't sure either to post this here or in the Android Software and Hacking General section and i appreciate any comments as i understand i am new here and have contributed nothing to this forum. Here is my dilemma, i recently purchased a t mobile g1 from a friend about two weeks ago because i was interested in the android OS. Being in the UK it is locked to the T-mobile network which my existing sim is orange. I understand that there was a developers ROM that was released (codenamed holiday (adp 1.1)) which allows other networks to be used on the g1 e.g orange etc as its a developer version. I was wondering what compatible ROMS for the g1 (htc dream) that would allow me to use my orange sim. Again i really do appreciate nay comments and help i receive and understand i have not contributed to this community and it is highly rude to ask for something when given nothing.
Changing the ROM on your device will not unlock it so that you can use it on any network. You need to get an unlock code for your device. T-Mobile US will give these out to their subscribers but I don't know about your carier. If they don't you can get it online too. They will need your phone's IMEI to generate the code. Just put in the new SIM and it will prompt you for the code regardless of the ROM you have.
isnt there such a thing as a hardware unlock though if i use a custom rom?. I brought this phone from a friend so i doubt phoning t-mobile will help get me a code.
p.s. cheers for taking the time to comment
No, I'm fairly sure the only way to unlock this device is what I posted above.
i thought you just needed a t-mob sim to login and then you were free to choose after this whole rooting/flashing thing.
its already a long time ago, so i might confuse a lot and its only that what i think to know. nothing sure..
i wanted an android phone and my friend was saying i culd get his off him and i thought that be a perfect time to get into the android os and stuff, i wasnt ure if i coulld by rooting/flashing that id be able to use another network thats why i wondered if i flashed it to a deveopler rom the adp1 one i could us another sim, i will look into the method beav_35 put but im not sure on any reputable sites to trust to do this method.
Damn, wrong forum. This should have gone in the general discussion forum. I'm really not sure why it's here, I must have been looking at two pages. Sorry.
A buddy has offered to sell me his TP2. He's on T-mobile, I'm on ATT. If he gets the unlock code, can I just pop in my ATT sim and start using it or do I need to do something else?
Also, once I get to know the phone I'll probably want to install one of the custom ROMs; are there problems with doing this?
Thanks in advance. Yes, I searched the forums. I have been active on the ATT TP forum, so I'm going to be new here! Hope this forum is as friendly as that one is!

yes put your sim card in and it will work, and no there is not any problems with flashing custom roms you just have to read the guides before you do anything, mostly if its your first time, first you have to HardSPL the fone if not done already, there is a guide for that, and then you should task29 the fone then flash xD also you can flash a radio, look through these forums and you will fine how to complete these, good luck!
Thank You!
Thank you! That's what I wanted to hear! I'm getting the phone tomorrow, so I look forward to checking this forum out more thoroughly!
The only other thing you may want to take note of is that you will not be able to access AT&T's 3G network on the T-Mobile Touch Pro2. The hardware radio does not support their 3G network. EDGE and GPRS will work fine, however.
