Hi got a new Sony Xperia Z but can't use it yet
As title suggests its sim locked on o2 network. Is it possible to get it unlocked and if so where can I do it. Any help much appreciated.

I've just got the purple pay as u go version from o2, though haven't played with it as not home. Was told I can only take the network lock after 1 year, the unlock request working for you guys? Or are you on monthly contract, not sure if its different to unlock
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that's it, monthly can unlock at anytime except iPhone 5.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
O2 pay monthly are always unlocked. Except iPhones
Are there any updates on this as my Xperia Z is also sim-locked to 3. thanks!
Is it possible to have free sim unlock?

I have tested on my zl, but sure that it will work on z also.
hey everyone, I found a way to bypass the lock screen and remove the password/ pin from the settings.
well, this i got to know accidently when i was trying to run a code on the phone.
hile i was searching on a sonymobile website, there came a code *#*#73556673#*#* to run the retail demo, after running the demo, my locked phone removed the pin and shown swipe unlock screen.
then i again locked it with password and then run the code from the locked screen through emergency calling number. after that i pressed the home button 2 times and my locked screen changed from password to swipe screen unlock.
NOTE that after pressing this code retail demo starts, and to stop that demo you have to run the code again....... if you want more help, then ask......
so this is easy way to unlock the Xperia zl, it must also work on Xperia z, if you have Z, then please share your views.
I think it is the best way to unlock the phone because it removes the password from settings. old trick was that to access the service menu through emergency number.........
my aim towards posting this trick was to show and tell SONY that they should look upon the security issues and improve the security for the upcoming updated of 4.2..........
please hit thanks if anybody was helped from this post

Did you enter the code again to stop the demo, like it says in the OP?

You need titanium backup to remove it. Just scroll through the list I forgot what it is called exactly, something demo, might be retail demo.

Well that doesn't work on my Xperia Z, not stock ROM so I guess the app have been removed
Omg so stupid. Didnt typed code again.now i did and worked,sorry folks for the panic

What do you expect? This thread is 8 months old.
The Z was still running Android 4.1 then. Sony fix this type of bug/exploit in new firmware updates.

Nearly 20% people does not upgrade their phone's software, so this is for those.

Yes, it will work for those that stay on old firmware, though I doubt 20% of XDA members with an Xperia Z are on 4.1.2, which is 3 major Android versions out of date.
I was simply responding to someone complaining it didn't work and explaining why.

Its okay friend, and I am not complaining you,

Just curious if anyone thinks that there will eventually be away to unlock xperia z bootloader.
checked mine and says it can not be unlocked according to offical sony steps.

Well, I can't unlock mine either...
If you got it through a carrier, the answer is no. Unless you pay for it at Sony store, i mean.
You can send the pgone over repairs claiming something about the battery, and pray for them to return a new one, but this is my opinion, not a fact

Im honestly still waiting on that, I don't know why t-mobile wouldn't want Us to be able to unlock the boatloader. It sucks that we pay for it and not able to use it freely to its full potential.
It makes us c6606 users feel left out. Lol

Got my c6906 from negri today but it was asking for unlock code the first time i start up the phone. I am planning to use it on ATT and the unlock counter shows i have 10 tries to get the phone unlock. I already emailed negri to get the code.
Does anyone know any other reliable places or website i can get the phone unlock? Really want to use the phone so please help if anyone with c6906 or z1. Tks!

Do not keep guessing the code. The unlock code is specific to your device, negri should provide it to you. Just be patient.
Kinda weird that they didnt email you one when they sent the phone and I thought they were selling the unlocked phones. Mine came locked from Bell, but the eBay seller sent me the unlock code via email before I got the phone.
Just called negri and they told me to wait until next Thursday. They are checking with whoever they got the phone from for the code. My counter shows i have 10 tries but i am not going to guess it and ended up with a dead lock phone. Kinda suck to have to wait that long

I bought my 6906 4 days ago and went to Sony store for some accessories. Sony rep advised me to unlock via http://unlock.canadagsm.ca/ as he did it with his own xperia z1. I wasnt sure what carrier its locked to since i bought it from kijiji.ca so I emailed them. The guy replied back saying "Just fill the form and say it's locked to Bell and we will take of the rest". 2 days later they sent me my unlock code.
Tired of waiting for negri to give me the code so i gave cellunlocker.net a try. Got my code in 2 days and unlocked the phone successfully.

If it comes it will be like last updates I think. Will have it couple weeks then the kitkat update. If I was betting man, it maybe the UK jumps to kitkat. Of course last in line if unlocked.

I received it in Egypt about 3 weeks.. Maybe more..and it's known that all countries in the middle east receive the updates the last.. How come you didn't receive it yet!

It's the same Sony holding back the updates to sim free handsets in the UK because the networks want them first :-\

Yeah it's crazy when we pay up front all the money for sim free. Then are left to last for updates.
