This might be a dumb question but I just wanna know how can I check if my Xperia was debranded already or to see if it is unlocked?
Thanks
I may be wrong, but arent all x1's unlocked? I have not seen it signed with any carriers.
ehm .. they have branding on the backside is one spot on the battery cover that says .. ( in my case Vodafone )
Oh, mines blank so i assumed they all were ><
I guess mine is not branded because I remember the K790 that I had before during soft reset it will show Rogers logo before I debranded it with wotan server and it will not let me use mp3s to use as ringtones and with my X1 Rogers doesnt show anymore. Also will the trick >*<<*<*<* or something will work to check if it is lock?
Thanks for the quick replies guys.

allready know this,im just looking for any program to change email
since you said your english is not good, I'm not sure when you said "you found", you actually mean "you found", or "you bought". If any case, it sound like the phone has been reported lost and the IMEI of the phone is in the blacklist, and it will not work in the entire country, doesnt matter what network operator you are with. This effort is to curb the issue of theft on mobile phone. I would suggest you to either report this phone to police (if you 'found' it) or chuck this back to the seller than sold you this phone.

**** my bad lol. Meant imei, and yeh the mobile is found, i would never buy anything that doesnt work.
Well if is not posible someone tell me so i stop searching and enjoy it as PDA wich is good.
Finder keeper.. loser weaner.. well probably it is right for you to keep it as a PDA. Yeah, answer is no.
If you have "found" it, someone has "lost" it. Wouldn't it be fair to report the phone to police so that the legitimate owner has a chance to have it back?

ISN'T CHANGING A IMEI AGAINST THE LAW
WELL IM SURE IT IS HERE IN THE U.K
generally "finding" things is against the law. Cars, wallets, phones...Even children or women. Crazy country, innit?
im buying a unlocked AT&T tilt for use with tmobile, (wing is horrible) .
is their a rom i can put on it so it wont show any traces of at&t on it ?
like i dont want it to have the at&t apps and startup pics, i would rather have the unbranded HTC Tytn2 rom.
anyway i can make this happen ??
also, when hard reseting the phone or putting a new rom on it, does it have to be unlocked again ?

You can try a rom upgrade or use a CID Unlocker Here Or you can change your imei through registry but i aint sure how to
its already sim unlocked but i dont know if its secuirty unlocked
i emailed olipro a while a go but he didnt respond. either he or tupisdin originally unlocked it for me i cant remember as i had a dimaond previously aswell which i sold for a touch pro, then missed so bad i bought another one
would i be allowed to change imei i thought this was illegal?
il give anything a try right now. if i security unlock again and sim unlock again will this do anything? or maybe if i flash the radio or rom again maybe???? its already hardspl
man thi sis so frustrating im angry!!
o2 just called me and said "technically" they unlocked everything there end but still it wont show signal, i tried 3 different sim cards now too
something did change - it now shows the G symbol by the signal but still no signal - there is just an "!" there
anyone?
id really appreciate some help here guys
This may seem stupid and it probably is but have you tried flashing a hard reset or maybe even flashing a new radio? I don't know if it will work but I'd certainly give it a try if I was you... You never know and you've got nothing to lose...
Hi patterns,
The only way to unbar the device is by the original provider (O2).
The provider simply places a national IMEI block so that your device can't be used anymore in the UK.
The only thing to prevent the device from being barred is by change the IMEI (which is illegal), but the info to do that isn't public (and illegal).
O2 is still the only way to unbar..
hi equinoxe,
thanks - this is what o2 are trying to do, but there is some problem because i moved provider to vodafone and then didnt keep the number, so there is something stuck in transit permanently. o2 have tried 3 times now to do this and keep telling me the same thing, i dont know what to do anymore........
i called and asked if i could change imei, the guy said it would work but he cant assist - obviously as you mention this is not legal. But in saying that is it still illegal if i do it for genuine reason?
man this is so frustrating, i finally out of pure good luck find my phone and it seems useless now!
guys o2 managed to unbar the phone but now it only works on t-mobile and o2????? it wont work on orange or vodafone, any idea why?
Hello everybody I bought a HTC England after changing radio spl and unlocked everything it was an O2 locked , now when I put my sim says no service when I do manual network search only Tim not possible call ecc. I looked around the forums but I found nothing anyone know what could be?
Thanks
HTC England?
Do you mean you bought an HTC TYTNII in England?
You said you unlocked it.. and then after that it was locked to O2.. is that what you mean as surely if it's still locked thats the problem.
Does it work if you put the O2 sim that came with it in it? I assume itll roam onto a network in whatever country you are in.
i have unlock it change radio rom ecc but it not work the signal is no service.
Do you have the right radio rom and the right carrier settings?

Hey Guys!
I use 925V in Europe and have an issue. I cant send sms and I dont have sms centre settings( its hide I think)
So maybe If I will innstall int firmware on my device it will work correctly?
Who know? And possible or not to do this kind of things?
Hi, kinda an old thread but oh well.
Put simply no you cannot put it on it. We have bootloader locked down tight on our devices.
So where are no options?

Verizon locks you out of the message centre settings, so as far as I know you can't change that as it's supposed to update when you put a new sim in it.
