I've ordered Sony xperia z c6603 from UK. Seller told me that it was unlocked, but it wasn't. It asks me for a pin code when I insert a local sim card. How can i unlock it? And can i flash another rom for this phone and will it be unlocked then? Help please!!! I don't wanna spend me money for unlocking it.
The only way is to get an unlock code, either from the original carrier (unlikely as you aren't the original owner) or from an online seller.
Flashing another rom will not network unlock your phone.
I suggest you return it if you don't want to pay to have it unlocked, as it was falsely advertised.

Hi all,
I just brought a Xperia Z on eBay locked to Orange UK network.
Does anyone know where I can get an un-lock code for the phone?
I don't mind paying, just want to find a fast and reliable un-locking service.
Many thanks
P.S. Orange UK needs the phone to be registered for at lest 6 months before they will unlock it. So its no go there.
Has any one used HtcCode.com?
It seems they can unlock the Xperia Z between 1 to 3 days for around £25.
I'd be grateful for any feedback on HtcCode.com.
I'd like to know that as well...
I got the unlock code but don't know where to put the code.. Any ideas?
when you insert another sim card ( other than the one from the carrier you bought the device from) it will ask you to put the unlock code
Is it possible to have free sim unlock?
About to buy a Sony Xperia Z on O2 in the UK. From what I've been reading, it'll be SIM-locked. Just wondering what my options are for unlocking the phone? Has nyaone used HTC Codes before?

Depends how you get it on o2.
If you get it via CarphoneWarehouse, then chances are the phone will be sim unlocked and also bootloader unlockable......However..
Like me if you get this directly from o2 then the device will be locked on both counts...BUT anyone who is on a monthly O2 contract can request to have their phone sim unlocked at anytime during their contract period. Basically just ring them and tell them and within a few days they'll email you your sim unlock code.
It worked for me, and have even tested with a vodafone sim.

So many may be wondering the same as me. What is the best place online to get a sim unlock code for the T-mobile USA Sony Xperia Z Model ID (C6606)? Meaning what is the best third party site that any of you have attempted to get a sim unlock code from and have been successful. T-mobile will not give me the code. Sony will not give me the code. How much did you pay? What is the URL? How long did it take to get the code?
Shokouhi
you can try cellunlocker.net they took about a week tho, i got mine unlocked from there
There has to be a free way. Can If flash some international radios and call it a day?
There's no free way to sim unlock. The sim lock status is stored in a protected area (the TA partition) and cannot be unofficially altered.

Call T-Mobile US if you are a customer. They will do it for free.

I don't mind paying for the service, but I don't want to get ripped off either.
I think that is what poster is asking, whats a reputable site for acquiring SIM unlock codes?
Is there anyone who can help me unlock a Xperia Z? My friend bought it from England and cant get signal.
If you mean network/sim unlock, then buy an unlock code from an online seller. There is no other way.

Just choose the right one that has a high reputation. I did this for my i9300 back then and it worked. If your carrier offers a free unlock then go with them. If not, this is the only way.
I own a Sony Xperia Z3+, here in the UK. I had to send it back to be repaired under warranty.
Upon return, the device become network locked. I know originally it was and O2 UK branded/locked device. However, I purchased it 2nd hand and it was unlocked at that point.
Can anyone recommend a quick way to help me get hold of the required unlock code?
Thank you for your help in advance.
