Hi,
Just like to ask if there is a possible way to unlock the network on Sony Xperia V without rooting? My phone is only locked to one network and I want to unlock it (maybe some unlock codes to input) for other networks sim card.
Please help.
Thanks!
It has nothing to do with rooting, it is unlockable using unlock codes.

I see. So anyone can help to generate any unlock codes for this device?
Thanks!
You can get an unlock code from the provider it is locked to

I think my phone had sim lock before i bought it, because it had 2.1 on it.
So i want to unlock the bootloader. In many threads about that i read:
Unlocking the bootloader of your phone will restore the original sim lock of your phone (if you had any) unless if you unlocked with EMMA/IMEI unlock code or it was factory-unlocked or if SE unlocked it!.
However, some users have reported that using msm7227_semc.cmd on their sim-unlocked phones did not restore the sim lock onto their phone. This has not been confirmed as of yet. Unlock the bootloader on your sim unlocked phone AT YOUR OWN RISK!

so is that confirmed now and how safe is it to unlock it. which tool can i use?

Ahem, hi, just wanted to point out that the quoted text you provided us with says it's unconfirmed. It will probably be safe but its unconfirmed if the sim-lock is restored

If your phone came factory unlocked (no SIM lock by default) then s1tool should tell you "no SEMC simlock certificate found"...
Align that information with the unlock thread in the dev section and you should have your answer (that you can unlock).

really? great so i can safely unlock the bl.?
is flashtool good for that.
with factory unlocked i meant that it had no simlock when i bought it. maybey it had one before because it had 2.1 not the original 1.6 on it and the sellin package was sealed with a sticker of an german provider. so i think it was unlocked and sold as a kind of remaining stock

See this thread and carefully read through the steps dealing with "if you had SEMC simlock certificate".
EDIT: If you are having problems with the lousy English of that guide contact me by PM - I can talk German as well.
Does someone know what SEMC simlock certificate means?
Has some experiences with unlocking such a phone which had sim lock befor?

Little stuck with a S X 5303.
I have rooted it no worries, but cant unlock it as the flash tool tells me it cant be officially unlocked. Help?
I used the DooMLoRD easy root, but not sure how to apply the custom kernel so I can flash this phone and unlock for any network.
Please advise? Dont want to be stuck on 02....

Have to install a custom recovery before you can install any kernal,
To unlock it buy a unlock code as far as im aware there is no way to do this other then that. I started a thread about unlock on this device before.
Also all the information you need can be found in the sp c5303 forums, Go take a look

Sim unlocking and bootloader unlocking are Completely different.
To flash custom kernels,you need your bootloader unlocked search on Google Sony sp bootloader unlock for guide etc.
To unlock sim to any network then you need to buy a code or take to local phone shop for them to unlock.
Rooting will never give you these options it just allows you to customise your phone, give you control over device.

OK. I may be being thick here. I have googled guides as suggested, but my bootlocker status says NO. So, not possible? And the 2 sites i tried for sim unlock both were unable to get a code and refunded my money...
Help?
My Galaxy S2 was no bother.... :crying:

Your bootloader is locked because your SIM is locked. Your carrier can give you an unlock code if you're not on contract

Bootloader and simlock are two completely separate things. If your bootloader status does not allow bootloader unlocking you will NEVER be able to unlock it. This means that you will not be able to flash CM, AOSP or any other custom kernel based rom on your device.
You can still enjoy stock rom based kernels like the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463675
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481248
and root your phone.

test point exploit has been closed.
If it says its not allowed there is no way to unlock it. Allthough it is not related to sim unlock it generally occurs that branded phones are locked and unbranded are can be unlocked.
One main exception is Vodafone UK, they have given me 3 xperia T's and one Z1 on contract, all of which can be unlocked

I don't get this...
You ordered your SIM unlocking code from web (using your IMEI) and it failed?
Or you just entered some random numbers?

If for some reason you sent a wrong IMEI you get a wrong Code.
