Database Develop

SIM Unlock

Hi all,
Can this phone be SIM\ network unlocked? I have been duped by a guy on-line who sold me a sealed unit and now I find that it's network blocked\blacklisted here on one of the networks in Ireland I would like to unlock it to see if hopefully I can get it working on one of the other networks. Can this be die yet?
Many thanks,
M

If it's been blacklisted on 1 network dude I think it will be the same for them all. Think they all use the same database. Where online did you purchase it?

On Adverts.ie mate....I'm gutted

I feel for you mate. I would be gutted also. Some ratbags online. Don't know what your options are to be honest. I'm sure others on here could point you in the right direction.

Thanks so much man, you think it would be worth calling Meteor?

Yeah worth a try. Can't see them replacing the phone though. But if it's been someone on there network that's put in a claim on there insurance after selling it to you I'm sure they could check. Was it in a box with all accessories? Most stolen or lost phones come with no boxes or accessories.

It was brand new and sealed in the box mate so that is why I was not suspicious at all, unreal that they will just block unused phones like that!! If they won't help I'll get an unlock code or try get it unlocked on XDA somehow and then hope that it works on Vodafone or O2!?
Are you in Dublin yourself?

Yes you did say it was sealed. No mate... Up North in Belfast. Try calling your network. See what they can do.

OK mate....I wonder if phones blocked down here are blocked up there mate!? You have started me thinking

Have wondered that myself. Up here is considered UK home networks. I'm on 3... And if I travel over the border im still charged mainland Europe roaming rates. And I see a lot of people selling phones on eBay from the UK stating no signal Europe only. Obviously barred on UK networks.

Exactly...might be worth a trip up, get a SIM from there and try it in the phone. I have to figure out how to get it SIM unlocked first though.....

Experia Z1 C6906 FOR SALE..?

I couldn't find any C6906 models in stock anywhere either. I ordered mine from an ebay seller in Canada who got the unlocked model from a Sony store.

There is only one website that even has it advertised, and they don't even have it in stock. Here it is:
http://welectronics.com/gsm/Sony Ericsson/SONY-C6906-XPERIA-Z1.HTML
When you contact them, they claim that they'll either get it soon or some time in November. Either way, keep your eyes peeled on eBay or that website. If you look on eBay be sure to check eBay.ca and all the fine print to make sure there's some sort of return policy in case they send you a C6903 model or something. I am lucky enough to have friends in Canada that got the phone for me, on AT&T's network, this phone is amazingly fast!

the only seller on ebay who has the C6906 is selling it for 799+tax
I'm debating if its worth it at that price, or wait until more stock arrives and price lowers.

Rejoice AT&T users looking for the Z1:

Apparently the website is very trustworthy. Price isn't so bad either. Jump on it while they still have some in stock!

I used to be with Telus 4 years ago.
One time I walked into a store, asked for a microusb cable and they just gave it to me no questions asked.

Geez your lucky I got the SIM tray from tbooth, they took out of their floor model for me at the cost of 5 dollar donation to beast cancer. But bell told me today that since I buy all my phones out right they would give me a 50 dollar discount on any phone I get from now on.

At&t 4G LTE?

Hello! I have a question for the z1....
I'm looking to get a z1 but I am trying to get the right model to support the AT&T LTE network. I believe it's bands 17 and 4 that are mostly used which leaves me only the c6906 for only option (correct me if I'm wrong please).
The problem is I don't see anything for this model on the Sony store anywhere. How or where do I get one?
The current one listed on the Sony store is the c9602 I think. Would that still work?
Thanks again!

You should be fine. I have a C6906 and I'm using it on Straight Talk here in NY and getting 4G LTE
Sent from my C6906 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for the heads up. So where did you get yours? I can't find it on the Sony store..... And does that mean the c6902 would pretty much be useless then?
Thanks
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Yea I don't think the c6902 will with getting you 4G LTE. I was going to get the C6903 but thought I would be better off with the C6906 since it has all the bands baked in. Can't go wrong with that.
I was lucky to get mines on eBay from a seller in Miami. Brand new untouched! three seconds left on the auction. The others don't see it coming, bet they were all pissed! Lol

looks like all the 6906 models are either on back order or out of stock at the moment though.

I got mine from Omegacell
I got mine from Omega cell, They're selling the network unlocked Rogers version (C6906).
I got lucky, I bought it during their Black Friday sale + Discount code. (Double Bang!! )
My total including shipping was $690 (1 year warranty from Omegacell)
Reliable place to buy.

Wow still no root

I'm so surprised there's still no root for the ATT s5..im losing hope

Alternative: You can buy a T-Mobile S5, sim unlock and use on AT&T. T-Mo has unlocked bootloader...I did this and it works perfectly.

See people on the Galaxy S4 that are still looking for an exploit. It's highly unlikely bootloader unlock happens. Root is quite the long-shot as well.

I wish there was a more active way to contribute despite having no developer background.
I know I'd be more than willing to do some seriously tedious code checking among other things if i knew it would help the cause.
Maybe buy some dynamite see if i can blow off the bootloader lock.. who knows?

Root will happen. It's not a matter of if, but when.

Exactly.
Personally I went for the T-Mobile version and will unlock it to use it on AT&T.

What are my choices if I bought the att s5 can I sell it for the same price as a t-mobile s5 and just buy one or should I try to get someone to trade with me?

The T-Mobile S5 is worth more because of the unlocked bootloader. You can sell the AT&T S5 for about $550 and get a mint T-Mobile S5 for the same price if you're lucky and negotiate on Swappa. Then you'll have to unlock it for about $30. Its all worth it in my opinion.

The thing is the T-Mobile S5 will almost always show a full signal bar. When I had the TMO S5 it would show 4-5 bars with a -100-110 dbm signal. ATT signal is much stronger and therefore it will almost always show five bars with a -90, -80-dbm signal.

Absolutely nothing. I personally don't think any developers even picked up the G900A because they knew it would be locked down. My advice: gt the TMO version and unlock it.

I can see your point on this one. If the phone is unlocked then you'd be fine. You would be getting service with AT&T, not T-Mobile or Sprint lol.

What I'm kinda worried about is that the S5 becomes a phone with wasted potential kind of like the Optimus G was due to lack of root

You can also buy a metropcs galaxy s5 its more cheaper than the tmobile version and unlock and also you can flash the T-Mobile stock Odin and flash T-Mobile custom ROM ...

I have never understood the mentality of "just go buy it from another carrier." Some do not have $650 just laying around to make that happen. Another thing I don't seem to understand is all the dislike of subsidiaries. I have been with AT&T for over 10 years and never had an issue. My bill does not seem to be affected when I get an upgrade either, so I don't see the logic of paying full price for a phone from another carrier and remain on another one. It would seem like I am paying more out of pocket that way.
