Hi Everyone
Picked up a Xperia Z its on the C6603 firmware and I believe its locked to T-Mobile as when I try another sim its comes up as saying sim card not provisioned MM2, however when going to the system info screen using the dial pad and then sim lock all the numbers on the right for network etc are on 0 and there are no crosses in any of the boxes on the left, so was hoping maybe you could tell me if its unlocked or not and if so where I could get it unlocked thanks and sorry if this is posted elsewhere but couldn't find it.
You could try flashing it so it's factory unlocked or buy a network key if you don't fancy losing warranty

Just for people on here questioning how to sim unlock the mobile, you may want to do this quick check first as I had mine on contract from t-mobile UK and paid £20 for a unlock code that I have not received and by doing the following below, I found out it was already unlocked so check before you decide to either pay for a code or even flash the mobile.
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* on the keypad to enter the service info and then check (sim lock) (network) , if there is a "X" mark in the square box on the left then it is locked. The number to the extreme right indicates the number of tries left. For example if it is 5 , it means you have 5 tries left.
Also there is apparently a new firmware release from sony today with some suggesting it fixes the bug that killed a few mobiles recently.
Thanks for the advice.
I have already done this and i am network locked. Any chance you could keep me update as to whether you ever receive your code?
Sony xperia z sim unlock

instead of a number like 5 tries left.... I got unlimeted .. Why ? however, ww. htccode.com solved my sim locked sony xperia z problem.
HTCCODE.com
I just got my DOCOMO Xperia Z (SO-02E) Unlocked using HTCCODE.com. The cost was $40 and it did take about a week to get my code but it worked as advertised, and the personnel on the companies live chat support were great to deal with.
If you are looking to unlock your Xperia Z and don't mind waiting a few days for your code I would recommend HTCCODE.com
Is it possible to have free sim unlock?

Does that means if the square boxes is empty on all fields, it simply means its already unlocked or no restrictions?
YES - its UNLOCKED POP in ANOTHER SIM AND IT WILL WORK!

And by the way ... just got mine from 3 and it is locked unlike yours!
So any wiz could confirm (even though I am quite sure that it's not possible) ...If i put a stock Rom on the device (thus de-branding it) . Do I get the device sim unlocked as well ?

Unfortunately not. I'm using an unbranded custom rom and I'm still sim locked.

Hey all,
Is the Razr-I sim unlockable? I'd like to be able to use a sim from a different operator when out of the country, so before I get this phone it would be good to know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

mate how the hard lock looks?? Do You still have pop up message asking sim unlocking code??
Did you have the number says how many tries U got left?? Or did you have penalty time after typing wrong code???
I have the second one....probably can't hard lock this one.
what do You think??
Creers
There's no indication of how many code tries have been made or left. You enter the code and it thinks for a second and brings the code entering screen again. Both 8 and 16 digit codes couldn't unlock the device and it is returned for replacement.
What's up?

Hi,
I've done it with them and IT'S WORK !!!
I've do it for my razr i and my defy+ ...
http://unlockphonenetwork.com/
I have just received my XT890 (NIP, I unboxed the sealed box myself). When I turn on the phone with an invalid SIM card, I get this message:
PIN is incorrect. Please wait for the penalty timer to expire, and re-enter your PIN.
When I dismiss this screen, I get a message: "Unauthorized SIM Inserted".
I am positive I have not tried any unlock codes, maybe the provider (carrier) is locking them this way so you cannot enter any unlock codes. Is there any solution for this?
It's strange because I get a very different message in spanish...

Hi woodyby, was this your first attempt on your RARZ I? Which code format did you got?
I have tried to unlock my XT890 through different pages (cellunlocker, unlockitnow, shops), got the same code which does not work (neither 8 nor 16 digits). After one attempt the phone keeps writing: 'PIN is incorrect. Please wait the penalty time to expire, then re-enter your PIN.' and can be tryed again in the other day.
How I can know if it is hardlocked already? Would it be a different message or this is the one meaning hardlock?
If Your phone is hard locked the same message appears, the only difference is if you put unlocking code and press ok the same message re-appears without penalty time. If you press dismiss and restart phone you will see wrong code message and penalty time.
You only have 7 attempts.

Good news! I have succeeded too with UnlockPhoneNetwork.com. They a gave a simple 16 digit number instead of the format resembling to this: x000xx00xx 00000000 00000000 xx0x0xx0 from previous pages.

Thanks for your answer! My phone was not hard locked yet fortunately. These 7 attempts are quite a few. I was trying one code only once making video evidence about all attempts to surely have the refund if fails (and it did fail as I wrote above)

Hi, I've looked around but not been able to find anything that really answers this question.
I'm tempted to buy an Xperia Z when they come out in the UK. Unfortunately it will be a branded phone (there is no way around this unless I want to pay alot more money).
My question is for 3UK customers with an Xperia T. Are you able to unlock your bootloader using Sony's official method? I have read that simlocked branded phones can be nearly impossible to unlock on certain networks.
Thanks for any help.

Not true.
I have a branded vodafone T and I can unlock. I would suggest you speak to 3UK and ask them, and if they cant answer your question take your business elsewhere.
I made sure I could unlock with vodafone before renewing my contract with them.

I have an Xperia T on 3UK, and it is very much locked. However, I have debranded it using the stock UK ftf and flashtool - and I am really quite enjoying using the Sony provided ROM.
Not sure if that helps, I suppose it depends how much you would like to muck about with your phone after receiving it!

Not sure with regard to your query about 3UK branded phones being bootloader locked however I understand that Carphone Warehouse phones are generally unlocked to any network and allow bootloader unlocking. If you were to get a phone from them on a 3UK contract then you should be ok - when I was looking for a T I popped in and queried this with them first and they suggested all of their phones are sold unlocked regardless of which network contract you choose. Phones 4 U have a similar approach but don`t offer deals on the 3 network.
Vodafone keep their phones SIM unlocked that's why you could unlock it Greg... But with carriers like 3UK they brand and SIM lock hence no CM goodness for me

Sim unlock and bootloader unlock have nothing to do with each other. You can have a sim locked phone and unlock the bootloader, and you can have a sim free phone and not be able to unlock the bootloader..and every combination in between as they are independant of each other

But fastboot locking is, or at least was in 2011 line, and unlocked by way of certificate replacement which unlocked everything, but sold as SIM unlocking causing confusion.
I think even with unlocking code from network, fastboot will remain locked.

If a carrier has made the bootloader unlockable then having the code from sony will not unlock it.
If the carier removes that restriction that allows the bootloader to be unlocked AND removes sim lock then tha is the carrier merging the two locks. They could just remove the bootloader restrictions AND keep sim lock if they want.
You can get an unlocked bootloader phone that is sim locked and vice versa. What carriers do with their locks is what they add to the phone after android and after Sony have done their thing.
They are still independant from each other unless the carrier has merged them, so my point stands, ask the carrier if you can unlock the bootloader. If the sales persone does not know what that means then go elsewhere. If they so not its not possibel because of sim lock they are lying as it is possible, its just maybe needs a bit of effort from them to be bothered. Then take your money elsewhere.
I have been into plenty of phone shops and they look confused when you ask them these questions, I just take my my business elsewhere and get what I want.

Except that with any Sony Android phone I am aware of, if the device is sold SIMlocked, it is not whitelisted in the bootloader unlock database.
While the two are technically independent, it is pretty much unheard of to see a Sony device that is sold with SIMlock but has an unlockable bootloader, and similarly, you never see devices with a non-unlockable bootloader but no SIM lock.

Hmmm it's not looking good then.
Unfortunately my device will have to be 3 branded (for reasons I'm not going to go into here).
I think I will probably contact 3 and see if they can shed any light on what to expect.
It's not the end of the world I guess, I can still put Apex on there and make it look how I want if I don't like stock. Nice to have the option though.
It would be stupid if SIMLock would be on and bootloader lock off cause u could easily remove SIMLock.
So in this case bought are related but in opposite direction - not. Cause I got SMS Code to remove SIMLock but that didnt made my bootloader unlockable.
To bad Orange is the only operator in my country which locks bootloader in Sony devices. (wish I'd knew that before signing contract)

I can confirm that the 3UK Xperia T is bootloader locked (no fastboot). I rang up Three and they said that it is not possible to allow bootloader unlocking on it (gave me a bull**** excuse about warranties and such, and I explained how I am aware than bootloader unlocking voids the warranty and that is the same for all phones).
However I do suspect that it depends on who you speak to as to what answer you'll get.

Why dont you just follow the instructions from their website......?
If your device says Bootloader unlock allowed: No Then they will not do it,
If it says Bootloader unlock allowed: yes then they will just direct you to their website to follow the instructions to do it...
I have got a XZ locked to three. That is not a big deal at the moment since i am on three. I am intending to travel overseas in about 4 weeks and will need it unlocked by then. Is anyone working on a free unlock? Is there any chance there will be one or should i just pay for it?

my bad, but not my fault. Somehow the guy above f***d up the quote script. When i quoted him it should only duplicate the new text he wrote, NOT the text he was quoting. So the number should have never been in my post to start with. Didn't realize it until I re-read my post. Thanks for pointing it out

Lets say someone reports a phone stolen to mess with you an gives your imei, or maybe theres some other way for them to copy it?
Not sure, all i know is that it's unique to the phone and i'd never put mine on the net.
As for your unlock, if youre referring to the sim, just dial *#*#7378423#*#* go to service info and click sim lock, if it reads all 0's then youre unlocked.
Ask your provider to unlock it if not.
If it's the bootloader then click on configuration and then check bootloader unlock status.
Found a relitivily cheap option
Doesn't really attain to your problem but i had been looking all around trying to find a place to unlock for cheap. most places I looked it was $30-50 range. Go to swift unlock's website. it is the same company as fusionunlocks i believe. they don't have the xperia listed but if you email them, they will tell you it costs $15 and takes 1-12 hours. Which a way better deal than all the others. also everything was done through paypal.
I believe sony said February would be the launch month for it unless I'm mistaken, i know it's not quite the end of February but is sony really going to be Mr last second and launch like at February 28 11:59pm?
They said in February they will push it for z3

You think that Sony would launch the updates at separate times?
Usually a update is "simulaunched" and would launched all at once
I think i read some time ago that Sony pushed their Z3 and Z2 update to March.
Either way, Z1 will get it later, and Z even later than that. I believe IF we get it by summer its gonna be really cool.
but i kinda wish we dont get it so soon, at least not before Google fixes the damn MEMORY LEAK problem. Kitkat is still more stable than L right now...
Damn if that's true and there going in reverse chronological order that means the Z is last.
Maybe I'd rather pay the 100$ and unlock bootloader...
Z will get lolipop after z3,z2,z1 etc...

**Oftopic** why would you pay $100 to unlock the bootloader?
Because every other Sony phone I've ever owned I always have to unlock the bootloader and I don't think it's very fair that T Mobile says that I can unlock my bootloader just because said I can't, oh and by the way when I say unlock bootloader I mean by a new motherboard, I had no idea that you can't unlock the bootloader by normal means on T Mobile's Xperia Z if I would have known this I would have never brought the T Mobile version

I have my C6603 (Xperia Z) from T-mobile. I had locked bootloader (Bootloader unlocked allowed : no). I asked T-mobile the SIM unlock key as my contract ended, and asked Sony Customer service here in Croatia if there is any possibility to be able to unlock the bootloader. They said to contact they offical service center in Croatia. I contacted them, and they did there magich and now i am able to unlock my bootloader (running cm12) and it didnt cost me anything
I would be not suprised if the Z4 is released before Z get 5.0 (a 5.0 already outdated)

Impossible, they said that a carrier branded xperia z bootloader is 100% fort Knox! Cannot be unlocked

I am an living proof than it is possible. also tought that it's not possible but they did it and it's 100%
Just think about it, they had to lock if, and if they lock it there has to be a way to unlock it
My my, if so you should definitely share your process here on xda because all the other devs said it's impossible. But I refuse to believe it's impossible.
Can you tell me what you did?

I told you... I also tought that it's impossible and my last optio is to sell my xperia z and buy unlocked one... Than i made my mind and send an e-mail to Sony customer service... That didint told me **** and they said that it's immpossible and bla bla bla. Than i found Sony Cro. facebook page, asked them if they could help me. Really nice people and they said that "Agram servis" is offical mobile service center for all cariers in Croatia, and that i should talk to them.
Ok, i send them an e-mail nad asked if there is a way to unlocked my bootloader, because my phone is no longer on contract, i had the sim unlock key from my carrier. And a reply came, they told me that they can't unlock my bootloader they can only make my bootloader unlockable (Woohooo, that mean's to change "Bootloader unlock allowed: no to yes)... and that i have to send them the Device, the receipt, IMEI, and SIM unlock key. I send them the device. ANd got it back from them in 2 day and voila, Bootloader unlock allowed YES ...
Hmmmm ok thanks.but it's a bit scary sending out my phone to anywhere. And I use it everyday, i also have no receipt as I brought it from eBay..but I'll investigate and maybe give it a try.:thumbup:
