Kovsky/Xperia CID/Security/SIM Unlocker

hot on the heels of the Blackstone, the Xperia SIM Unlocker is out:
1) contributing forum members & Elite Team donators... PM me for a free unlock with your IMEI & email. - if you have an account that has a) existed for a good few months and b) you actually contribute to the site (technical wizardy, or general helpfulness - CONSISTENT AND REGULAR POSTING), then just drop me a message and it's yours, if you don't meet both a) and b) then don't bother - having an account that you rarely posted from is NOT in the least bit interesting.
2) everyone else (new accounts/unregistered/sod all posts, this means you): [size=+2]Get SIM unlocked Here[/size]

nice..
good to see you aroung Olipro !
although obviously too late for me as I just got rid of the x1..

I thought most xperia comes unlock. We just need the security unlock so we can flash radios from other devices, but I suppose it's an all in one kind of deal no?

Yes but I WANT THIS ***** !!
Finally RADIO tweakin' and testin' enabled !!
Olipro you're DA MAN !!

I thought the same. Mine is from T-mobile NL but is not simlocked. Tested it with another sim and it works like a charm. Maybe the voda ones are locked not sure though.
Good to see Olipro back in here!
Just a quick question Oli as mine is simunlocked is there a way for me to see if it is CID unlocked? Or can I just flash Hard-SPL?

Maybe you don't get it for free (neither do I), but how cheap is €14 for a SIMunlocked X1...

I wont get it for sure, but i don't really need one at the moment. Got quite a sweet deal.
35 € / Month
3000 minutes to all operators/land lines (No opening fee)
Free Turbo 3G (7.2 Mbit/s unlimited)
100 sms / month
And the Xperia X1 is included into that price.

Thats a very nice offer, but 14 Euro for Unlocking is a great deal. You will receive HardSPL plus SIM/Unlock and CID/Unlock to customize your device with a HUGE selection of roms here

but once its security and CID unlocked, you dont need the hardspl then as you can revert back to stockspl and still have all the flashing privledges!

nice to see you rewarding forum members for their contributions

Already flashed it with Touch X that Smaberg made.

Guys, maybe here is not the proper place for my question but somehow it has to do with the topic. So is there a way to find out if my X1 is unlocked by the manufacturer ( has never been locked ) or by someone else - "hacked to be unlocked" - like it's done here...And if so, can I check this out ? Am I gonna lose the "patch", "unlocker" (dont know how to call it) after flashing and using different roms from here ? Can I save the settings or check what had been done with the device. Thanks in advance...

actually, it's not necessary, our software lets you verify whether you're unlocked anyway, and the device will never relock itself.

Yesterday I used this tool to remove a SIM-Lock. It did work perfectly!
I also removed the security lock. Is it possible to re-lock it? Would be necessary for warranty issues.

SOLVED! Anyone in the Charlotte, NC area that can Root my Nexus One w Froyo?

Basically, I'm too stupid to do it and I WILL F it up so I'd like someone that knows what he/she is doing to do it for me and I'd be willing to pay something for it.
I'm close to charlotte so say, 50 miles distance from Monroe, NC..?
I want this font size proggy on there but it only works with rooted phones and of course, I thought that UNLOCKED also meant rooted
THanks
George

It's not very hard to do. I can walk you through it if you'd like on gtalk or someting
Oh, and also, this is the wrong forum to be posting this. Next time post in the Q&A or General forum.

If you can do it over the phone, you're in 'cause I panic when something doesn't go right I like to ask questions immediately.
Any chance I'll brick the damn thing?
George

Oh, if you can also talk me through how to hook up the HD2 in windows mobile to my pc so I can download the ringtones from there (unless someone has them and can e mail them to me), it's worth an easy 20 bucks to me (paypal?).
I assume i can use the ringtones from the hd2 on the nexus?
Thanks
George

I'll more than gladly help you over skype or phone or however you like

don't unlock your bootloader now there is a way to save your phone for sure you get 100% warranty, i'm running custom roms with a locked bootloader I'm glad I waited use this approach instead.

Ok, now I'm lost again with this boot loader thing and the warranty

That way doesn't make any difference HTC will still exchange it.

Its noobs who think that if you unlock the bootloader you'll void your warranty... YOU WONT... HTC will still replace the phone if there is a reason to that is the phones fault and not one of your own. Don't let the noobs scare you into thinking other wise.

There are 2 ways of modifying your phone.
1) Root it. You get the benefits of being able to run apps that require root but don't have to unlock the bootloader.
2) Unlock it. Unlocking it lets you run different ROMs. Something other than the stock android. Example, Cyanogen Mod. It's a modified custom build of android with lots of nifty things. But it might void your warranty by Unlocking it.
I'd suggest just going with ROOTing it. It's easier, less fuss, less to worry about and it doesn't void the warranty.

Are you on skype?

I got it from Negri Electronics and it IS unlocked already but NOT rooted.
I need to root it to get this font size program installed 'cause my eyesight sucks. That's really the main reason.
Yeah, I like nifty things too and I hate being tied down by locked stuff and so on so I'd like to open it and do whatever I want with it.
As for the warranty, I understood from Negri that HTC/Google covered the warranty and I THINK, that I could buy insurance through t mobile but checking on that.
Also, for those of you who are interested, Negri also sells t mobile contracts/by month contracts or whatever you call it.

NOpe, no skype and I don't have microphones on my computer anyway but I'll be happy to call pretty much anywhere.
If it's international, it's dirt cheap through google phone/voice
For those who haven't tried it, go to google.com/voice but before you do, ask me for a few pointers first. Bitc*in' service from Google and it's free.

I can walk you through it on gtalk but I'm not really down for sitting on the phone and doing it.

It's going to be quicker on the phone since I"m a dumbass but I DO need help so I'll take it unless the dude that offered to do it over the phone chimes in, in the next few minutes
Sorry if I sound picky but I just know how I am when it's not phone. Yeah, I tend to talk too much but things also get done faster.

Is this device working with Turbo SIM?

The question is relevant, has anyone tried it yet? I'm just asking because I don't want to lose my warranity with unlocking on the first couple of days.
Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Hi.
I hear you and have a 3 UK XZ.
I will see what I can do, but do not take this as a promise.
First of all I have to get up at 4:45 am tomorrow for work.
I am having car troubles and a lot of my free time is being spent at the moment getting to the bottom of that. I have a weird problem with an old BMW and diagnostics hasn't helped much. So far it's cost me about 6 days of my girlfriends and my time together and about £200.
I have absolutely no idea how to extract the ROM from my phone. I am almost computer illiterate. I have had a read how to do it, and there are guides on here so I will try and work it out. I read it once the other day and my mind as gone blank again so I will have to try and get to grips with it.
Finally, my phone is up for sale on Gumtree, so if someone buys it before I have a chance to look into this it won't happen.
I will see what I can do but for your sake I hope someone else can provide the ROM for you.
By all means say "Hi" to me, but reserve your thanks until I have actually come through with something.

very sad to see so many people talking s**t about the note 4.
It might not be a huge difference from note 3 but is definitely a big upgrade from my note 2.
I think everyone expect to have extreme changes in the devices every year and that is not possible anymore.
I think now the upgrade should be every 2 years.

Someone told me that if you get the TMO version it won't have a locked bootloader, and can be usedon ATT. I'm not sure if this is true, but considering going that route.

Verizon :/ I really am getting tired of it from them tbh. I buy the phone, why should they lock the bootloader. (Yes, I know there are reasons, but still) they are not leasing the phone to me, You buy the device and use it on their network.I am paying for a service. That's just how I look at it.

I sure understand that thought. But I also understand the carriers not wanting to warranty phones that we hose trying to mess with them.
It's probably too much effort to position themselves to offer an unlock code for the bootloader, which would cost 'loss of warranty'. If they don't have to warranty them, then why should they care?

probably because so many people lie when they call for warranty service, saying they dont know why their phone suddenly "stopped" working..
Now, what could be done, is to sell an unlocked phone/boot loader, NO WARRANTY AT ALL, and see how many folks buy that model...
Not many I bet..
