So I wanted to flash a ROM onto my Xperia Z because it wasn't waking from sleep all of a sudden, and after 12 hours of trying to get CWM and eventually forcing the 4.4.2 update instead of waiting for T-Mobile to release it OTA. I assumed my bootloader was unlocked, but then I found out that it wasn't because even Sony's official method wasn't working. (FAILED (Remote: Command not allowed)). I decided to google around to see if others had this issue, and came across a news site that said T-Mobile purposely restricted the bootloader, and it was unable to be unlocked.
The question is: Is there anyway around this issue? Is there any "official" way I can remedy this issue, such as buying the equipment outright from T-Mobile and requesting a SIM unlock or something?

Open the dialer and put *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service info >> configuration and see Rooting states
If its says bootloader unlock allowed: yes
So you can unlock the bootloader and if NO so no was to unlock it...

Hello ! Been browsing xda for few years and found a lot of good info here , keep up the nice work. But now i got some issue and i cant find anything to solve it , maybe some of you could help me.
My problem is that i recently bought a Xperia V, was bought i think from JAPAN , on the top writes on it NTT DOCOMO - has a locked SIM card.
What i tried -
-unlocking bootloader with official sony guide , but if i type *#*#service#*#* says to ROOTING STATUS - BOOTLOADER UNLOCK ALLOW - no, anyway to the SIM LOCK - [x] Network - Unlimited , this means i got unlimited tries to the code it locks it ? still didnt found a way to unlock bootloader
-rooted phone, installed custom recovery
But still havent manager to get rid of that simlock , everytime my phone boots up asks a NETWORK SIM UNLOCK PIN.
Status
Model LT25i, Android Ver. 4.3, Build No. 9.2.A.2.5 ( ask for more info if needed )
I can downgrade to any version using flashtools.
Anyone can guide me if is there anything i can do ?

Same problem here..i'm from Philippines and my phone is lock to Smart Communication Network Postpaid. Been looking for solution for this. Hope somebody here in the forum can help us.
Hello everyone,
I am looking for sim unlock on my new Xperia Z1 for free, for 7-8 days now... Nothing found ! No free way to do. :crying:
Then I saw some threads speaking about this file : simlock.ta. And then I was thinking "And if only this file may sim unlock my device ??"
So I would like to know:
What's this file ? And what should it do on my phone ?
Then... If I modify this file, can I Unlock my Xperia Z1 ? (locked SFR - France...)
I think understand that, if simlock.ta is deleted, there is no way to use network from any carrier. But, what about Editing simlock.ta ?

I'm looking for sim unlock too, I'm waiting for some hacker or ROM developer give me a light because I'm not from Europe and I have 0 attempts to insert the unlock code, its really hard to me, I have Samsung galaxy S2 locked to orange and I simply install a Galaxy S SIM unlock application on my device and done, the device got unlocked.
I thought with Xperia Z1 would be like that and then I bought, unfortunately I have that issue, a blocked Xperia Z1 .

Yes, Sim Unlock seems to be more easy on Galaxy devices. A friend tell me to try a custom ROM but no result, my Xperia Z1 still ask me the unlock code :/.
I think Simlock infos are stocked in the bootloader because of the carriers lock it systematicaly... But this file awake some questions in my head and... if there is any link with sim unlocking. I want to know how .

I just don't get it, be Samsung or sony or motorola, every device of these companies run android on their devices, android is the same thing at last, I really don't see the difficult. At past a guy hacked NASA and another perform jailbreak on Iphones, what's the matter of simply unlock Sim on Xperia?
Things way more difficult were done before and by the way a unlock sim system already were done for Samsung with android, this could be like a model for others devices, or not, does really the phone brand cares that much about this?
