By law, operators in portugal only unlock free of charge if the phone is not within the contract time which is usually 2 years

Yeah, I know that.. but my phone is new (nem 1 ano tem sequer), that's why I need an alternative..

There are only free methods for phones, which are four or five years old, and maybe your provider can do it for you when your contract is over.
If you want to unlock it now, just search a bit on Google, or PM to Blagus, with this way you can find at least really cheap ones.
LuisDias, blagus makes the best price you can find..
Hello,
I used the fastgsm.com website which works the following way:
- you pay for credits, (40USD for X8) and then they send you user/password for the unlock software client
- you download the drivers and the unlock client to you PC and do as it is written
I followed the instruction but the progress stopped after reading out my mobile.
This cause me to problems: they consider I used up the credits.
I got my mobile still locked and what is even worse now it locked for everything.
With my original T-mobile simcard I can not attach to any network.
All I can do is search the network but can not attach to any (not even the Home network)
After all this I made a software upgrade on my mobile with PC companion, but I still the same problem, it locked for everything.
Have any of you had the same problem?
Many thanks for any response!

Ouch. I don't have this experience but I recommend you PM Blagus for unlock since your phone is now screwed.

Thanks, I will contact him.
I flashed a generic firmware on my X10 mini and it unlocked it, dont spend money on something you can do yourself.

WoW! In my country the contract is for 1 year, i think is a lot, but 2 OMG! Too hard to change quickly your mobile xD
For me, I think I was lucky. My phone was locked on my network only, then I rooted it, installed custom ROM blah blah, and voila, it unlocked, wtf? I was very surprised, it asks me for unlock code, but I can bypass this screen and phone registeres on other networks with other SIM cards, I don't know if it was luck or something else considering that I've unlocked it somehow.

what ROM did u use?
Gsmliberty.com
Also, Three, as far as I know DO give unlock codes but you must of used a certain amount of phone credit (€200 , I think). Or had it at least 2 years
My dad got it off three Ireland, last summer after about 5 calls.
It is possible...

Meteor told me they have to contact SE to get unlock code and I must spend €120 before they will request it, I see your network is Meteor, is your x8 locked? if I get mine unlocked I will pm the code to you, same network, device and country, might be worth a try
Sure. I thought rooting unlocked the simcard.? Am I wrong?!

Hey, guys... I''ll be in Japan next month and I was thinking to buy one of these cuties for myself. Since I have close to zero knowledge on JP cell networks and specifically on this new model (selling as Xperia ZR worldwide, but 32Gb, TV?, what else?!) I would appreciate any info or advice!
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/smart_phone/so04e/index.html
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/smart_phone/so04e/spec.html
I know that Docomo shops can sell it out of contract, SIM unlocked (extra fee). Do you have any experience on bootloader unlock, rooting, get rid of docomo apps, flashing other ROMs etc regular xda gymnastics :laugh:, or would it even work on GSM networks outside of JP? Is it a good idea? I need a decent replacement for my oldish Atrix 4G asap...

You are misinformed, Docomo do not sell handsets without contracts attached, even at full price.
Bootloader non-unlockable in any case.
There is actually a site that sells unlocked docomo phones. Search Kyoto mobile or something like that.

There are a ton of used keitai sites, the best of which is probably used-keitai.kakaku.com, but seriously unless you actually live in Japan you don't want a japanese handset. Non-unlockable bootloaders, just different enough hardware to cause many issues with roms, and loaded down with a ton of bloatware by default.
Sounds like more hassle than what it's worth. I think it is possible to flash stock ZR roms on it using flash tool I'm pretty sure there's someone on xda that's already done it.

Actually those are as-new but used.
The only sales channel to buy the SO-04E new is through Docomo.

You lose NFC functionality and one-seg support if you do.
Not misinformed anymore, thanks dave. It is a hassle, bought HK C5503 yesterday. Really impressed with GLONASS supplement, fast and furious. And really unimpressed with so-called VGA embarrassing frontal camera. Better to leave it out at all.
Anyways, now waiting for a MHL2HDMI adapter from taobao.. that's how mirroring works, right? How long I'll need to wait for 4.2 OTA, any idea? Is it device or network related?

4.2 is region related for example. I tested 3 different firmware regions yesterday to find 4.2. Out of HK, GLOBAL and RUSSIA only RUSSIA would update to 4.2 from PC companion. I had problems with Nordic firmware so moved back to my original HK then tried Russian. Also the Russian 4.2 firmware has the latest OTA of walkman, album, and movies app

I've got a Xperia A from docomo and it's a little higher price than HK ZR. I've been using Galaxy Nexus for years and I've tired with endless updating for very tiny improvement and nexus doesn't go with my Jawbone Era, it will stop pass audio or incoming call to the Era sometimes a day. this issue haven't fixed by updates. Xperia A very friendly to all my BT device without any issue.
if you looking for a phone can take good photo(among phones pls) and good call recording(at least better than GNexus with BT Headset) and friendly typing/ SMS/contact book, good size to operate by one hand, and self defence from water an dust, and better battery life than GNexus, and a replaceable battery, and come with a charging dock, and what is matter of docomo apps there is always up to 700 MB free RAM there why DO care about 10 or 20 been used by docomo? Xperia A is good, large build-in storage is must.
BTW: it's have build-in OTG function without install any app from play store. Sorry for all user who have LG Nexus 4.
or if you Do care about Android Version, wait for a next nexus which is not manufactured by LG.

No, the NFC hardware on SO-04E and X-ZR are different.

Try cellunlocker.net
I used their service to unlock my Xperia TL. I paid 40 bucks and it took them about a week to send me an unlock code.

I have Bell 6906 as well. The only website that was able to give me the unlock code was http://unlock.canadagsm.ca/. They say it will take 3-7 BD's for them to get the code, but I got it in 2 days. I was referred to this site by Sony store employee.
anyone know of a free way to do it?
I don't mind paying but why pay if it's free?

Unlock Sim was always via paid method on any device and still in that way. There is no free way.

Maybe it was never free for Sony devices, however Galaxy Note, Note 2, S3, S4 were free to unlock.

Hello,
This is my first post on here, I was scrolling through looking for a way to get the glove mode on my xperia z1, but I cant find anything about it.
Anyway, I bought codes off two different websites and both ended up refunding me and saying that they couldn't get the code.
I went on eBay and bought a code for $30CAD and it was in my inbox the next day and worked fine. The guy that sells them is very nice too. His eBay username is rakeshb10.
Look him up and get your unlock code there. You can check his feedback before you buy it, he has all good feedback.
Oh and some websites say you need to put in a SIM card from another carrier to enter the unlock code, that's actually alot more work. Just open your dialer and type *#*#SIMLOCK#*#*
Obviously use the numbers instead of letters, I just can't recall them right now. You just click network lock and enter the code and your good to go. Make sure you get the code first because you only get so many attempts to enter the code. If you enter the wrong one and use up all your attempts, your phone will be locked out.
I am attaching a screenshot of the SIMLOCK app and proof that mines unlocked. I also just got this phone on a two year contract just weeks prior to unlocking it. I'm staying with Bell for now though.
Hope I helped.

Howdy folks,
I've recently bought an X8 for my daughter on Ebay and it's currently locked to Three UK.
I've done some searching here and noticed that most threads are saying that there are no free Sim Unlock ability for this phone. However, since the threads I browse through was way back in 2012/early 2013;
I was wondering if there's any free unlocks available now? or any methods I can try to get it unlock.
Thanks fellas.
