Hi everyone !
First of all, I'd like to introduce a little of myself because i'm new here ! My name is David, I'm 22, and i'm from France (Sorry for my English :angel. I just switched from an iPhone 4s to a Sony Xperia T (obvious in this section of the forum, right? ^^)
I'm a total beginner about Android development, but i'm learning more and more everyday !
Here is my problem : The xperia I bought is simlocked to Orange, a french provider (even though I know it exists in other countries), and i'd like to know how I could get rid of this lock so I can use my phone with my unlimited plan from another provider.
Does the lock come from the fact that the it's a Orange Firmware ? Can I bypass it by flashing the firmware and installing another firmware that won't be from Orange?
Do I have to unlock the bootloader ? Root the phone ?
Thanks for your answers and your help ! :good:
It will be simlocked to Orange regardless, you'll have to call Orange or a third party to unlock it for you.
Only Samsung devices and certain HTC have certain ways to unlock the phone freely. I don't know about Sony, as this is my first Sony phone.
I already called them, they told me that it costs 76€.. And a third party would be pretty much the same I guess..
Well I hope there's gonna be another solution, because I can't wait to fully use it ! :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for your answer though !
Most t third pairs will do it for around 30 bucks
Did I help? Then please don't forget to press the thanks button.

well I can't find one that'll do it for 30 bucks, so if you know one !
French law about cellphone states your service provider is to unlock your phone free of charge (considering you ask for it) after the sixth month of your engagement.
It can be done sooner but as you said, it's not free at all, and you'll still have to pay for your monthly plan for the rest of your engagement period.

well if it is in status locked, you can unlock it (if i understand correctly). type *#*#7378423#*#* service info, configuration (or similar, am on cm10 so cannot look) and check if you can unlock it.

The phone is in status locked when I look in Service Info, but I believe some members here already did unlock their bootloader.
Also I flashed the original Orange branded rom and replaced it with the Generic UK one, which is not branded (I thought by doing this it might disable the simlock, but it didn't..)

what i mean is not simlock, of course, but it should say in that menu if you can unlock bootloader.
it should say something like: Rooting: Unlock of bootloader: Yes
edit: from sonymobile site:
Instructions
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

It actually says "No" to unlock the bootloader, that's what I was trying to say previously lol
That's why I said that I believe,even though it says no, that some members managed to unlock it. Or maybe that status is proper to each phone?

i don't know, but i guess it is each operator thing.. i am new to xperias, but i think i read there was some people that could unlock your bootloader even if it said no.

Lol ,and i'm new to Android ^^ I'm pretty sure I read that too !
Is the bootloader unlocking linked to the simlock ?

That's true for the 2011 line and some of the 2012 line. But for Xperia t it is not (yet) possible. And if they unlocked while bootloader unlock allowed stated no they paid for it.

Hi everyone,
Just wanted to know if any solution has come up about the unsimlock for the Xperia T !
Thanks !
None other than to ask your carrier nicely it for a paid for service. And its unlikely there ever will be one.

Hi,i got Sony Xperia SP C5303 for my birthday,i've been having it for 2 months but i still haven't found a way to make it SIM FREE.So i was wondering if any of you can set sim free rom or somthing like that. Thank You
From my understanding A ROM won't make it sim free.
it needs a code look on internet for company who sell unlock codes or try your network provider for unlock code.
It will cost.

Ty, but for example, Samsung Galaxy S2 have some roms which are sim free... But i still haven't found any for my SP...
If i understand correctly sim free is a phone with no simlock? If so, here is my idea. When i was reflashing my phone with flashtool i noticed is skipped/ignored the file simlock.ta. Why not try to make your stock ftf file and simply reflash it, wouldnt that fix your issue? Correct me if im wrong
Sony phones dont support sim free ROMs as these are hard coded...hence you need a unlock code

I'm already asked my carrier, that's the first thing i've done, but they can help me. I'm from Serbia, my phone is bought in Austria. In Serbia no one know how to unlock it. Everyone wants to try to unlock it, but i'm afraid to give them to try, because they don't know how, they just want to experiment on it. There must be some way which I can do my self. Please help, anything is worth to try.

Sim unlocking is not something that XDA developers deal with as in some countries it is illegal.

I found, in my town, in Croatia same thing (they order lock code online) - order number online and that's the best solution.
But first, check is your phone "unlockable".

What is the most reliable site to unlock the ?
currently bootloader unlock is disabled by Huawei Corp,
check xda or these sites regulary for news
http://hcu-client.com/category/news-updates/
https://chimeratool.com/en/models/huawei#q=p20+
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/news
this is my first Huawei .. I come from a samsung s8 plus, my question is there any program like "odin" for Huawei? I have seen, but everything for huawei and paid
thank you
Yeah see Roms and other kernels here in xda all. In. One flash tool is good.
But at the moment bootloader isn't unlockable. For Huawei p20 pro, so you need to. Wait a short time.
(since a month Huawei. P20. Normal was unlocked) so wait....
Of course it's possible to unlock bootloader. It's paid and quite expensive but there are at least three suppliers who offer it. Just do some searching here or in discussion section. Development is not in mature stage though.
Thank you all, I'll wait.
