[Q] Sim Lock Question - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Howdy folks,
I've recently bought an X8 for my daughter on Ebay and it's currently locked to Three UK.
I've done some searching here and noticed that most threads are saying that there are no free Sim Unlock ability for this phone. However, since the threads I browse through was way back in 2012/early 2013;
I was wondering if there's any free unlocks available now? or any methods I can try to get it unlock.
Thanks fellas.

If that's the case then can someone recommend a reliable and not too pricey unlocking company?
I've seen "Classic Unlocking" company being mentioned several times in this forum, anyone knows how reliable they are?

Just out of curiosity, why isn't there any?
After so long no one can crack this? I don't believe that Sony is better than Iphones in sense of locking up their devices.

There are only free methods for phones, which are four or five years old, and maybe your provider can do it for you when your contract is over.
If you want to unlock it now, just search a bit on Google, or PM to Blagus, with this way you can find at least really cheap ones.
LuisDias, blagus makes the best price you can find..
Hello,
I used the fastgsm.com website which works the following way:
- you pay for credits, (40USD for X8) and then they send you user/password for the unlock software client
- you download the drivers and the unlock client to you PC and do as it is written
I followed the instruction but the progress stopped after reading out my mobile.
This cause me to problems: they consider I used up the credits.
I got my mobile still locked and what is even worse now it locked for everything.
With my original T-mobile simcard I can not attach to any network.
All I can do is search the network but can not attach to any (not even the Home network)
After all this I made a software upgrade on my mobile with PC companion, but I still the same problem, it locked for everything.
Have any of you had the same problem?
Many thanks for any response!

WoW! In my country the contract is for 1 year, i think is a lot, but 2 OMG! Too hard to change quickly your mobile xD
For me, I think I was lucky. My phone was locked on my network only, then I rooted it, installed custom ROM blah blah, and voila, it unlocked, wtf? I was very surprised, it asks me for unlock code, but I can bypass this screen and phone registeres on other networks with other SIM cards, I don't know if it was luck or something else considering that I've unlocked it somehow.

Also, Three, as far as I know DO give unlock codes but you must of used a certain amount of phone credit (€200 , I think). Or had it at least 2 years
My dad got it off three Ireland, last summer after about 5 calls.

Meteor told me they have to contact SE to get unlock code and I must spend €120 before they will request it, I see your network is Meteor, is your x8 locked? if I get mine unlocked I will pm the code to you, same network, device and country, might be worth a try
Sure. I thought rooting unlocked the simcard.? Am I wrong?!

[Q] HTC FREE Unlock Codes Calculator v2.2

Hi! is there anyone here who have a copy of the software? Unfortunately I cand donwload the file. Ive answered the surveys and yet no downlink is appearing on the page. www simlockcalculators.com/htc-free-unlock-codes-calculator
from the comments seems like working great. i want to sim unlock my htc for free.
lol, don't waste your time.....there's no coeds to be had for this, its predominantly locked to O2 or Vodafone, so cannot be Sim Unlocked. I've tried many times since this phone was released.
thanks. looks like no choice but to pay for it. are those paid codes via supplying your imei in the internet reliable?

Nope. You can't trust people now a days, don't risk it and waste your time.
i wouldn't even think about unlocking it. These days most people don't need to unlock them, last person i spoke to about unlocking my salsa didn't even know what it was let alone have software for them....
Internet unlocks will rip you off. I did it once on an old Nokia 5000, got the code...same as the free sites, didn't work. Couldn't get a refund either.....my advice is, want the phone sim unlocked, buy a phone on the network your on!
Problem is the fone is from a relative from abroad. Its lock to vodafone. The only carrier here in the philippines are globe, sun and smart. Thats why i need to unlock the fone. Its was recently given to me.

[Q] Why some Z1 models can not unlock the bootloader?

Hi, I'm from Mexico and bought a Z1 in Telcel plan (the original model was 6906) I have about 4 years using phone android, I wanted the HTC One but take long time to get here to Mexico, so desperate and buy me this Z1 and I'm really disappointed as I do not understand why some models like mine can not unlock the bootloader, because among other things I can not flash any custom room, or having a good kernel tweaks. (I really love Carbon room) All this regardless of the phone too easily scratched screen, and failures of touch sensitivity on the right edge, I guess be for the location of the buttons.
anyone of you know why?.
Sorry about my bad english.
Thank you.
Because your phone is on Contract and they locked the Sim and Bootloader for security. One day when the contract expire or your phone get old you will be able to unlock sim but no bootloader. It's a deal made between your Carrier Network and Sony. If you buy a Unbranded and Sim Unlocked Z1 you don't have this problems.

Why some Z1 models can not unlock the bootloader?
Thanks, there are many topics dealing with this but there is no a clear answer, I already flash one room unbranded but 6903 because as I said the original model was 6906 so I have unlocked the sim, I read out there on xda that taking it to sony service, as has unlocked the sim, they can change unlocking bootloader allowed: NO by Yes.
I'll try this way.
Greetings.
It's about specific negotiations between Sony with each Carrier
Telcel decided they wanted to keep the bootloader locked, thus C9606 will be permanently closed.
There are ways around this, but it WILL void warranty.
Good luck.
I'm currently evaluating unlocking bootloader as well.

Unlocking Bootloader will avoid warranty in any case, Yes or No, buy actually the Developers on XDA they saying is no way around and you can't unlock if the Bootloader Unlocking Allowed is set up to NO. So when you buy a phone from a any Carrier make sure the Bootloader Unlocking Allowed is set up to Yes.

Here in mexico punish us with prices, sony officially sold the Z1, at $ 1000 usd (no brand) With a 2-year contract I could get $ 350 usd in telcel. Besides, very few models get really good, slow to arrive and bring an outdated firmware. Google does not sell their phones officially. But I want to unlock the bootloader because I am almost certain now that the bugs are resolved that brings z1, soon going to release a firmware google edition for z1 (I really wish it) and I need to unlock the bootloader to install.

Check your bootloader, just write *#*#7378423#*#* and go to Service Info > Configuration > Rooting Status if there is Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO probably you can't unlock your bootloader. Call Sony Center and ask if this is possible but no guarantee about that.

Are you positive about this?
I was under the impression you could get around the locked bootloader even if the device says No.
I'm not sure if I even want to try because I would permanently lose the Bravia Engine should I succeed. I'm not sure what it's supposed to do, but it sounds nice.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
if the device says unlocked bootloader: No, then it cant be done.
sim lock and bootloader locked are depends on your carrier, there are carriers that they have locked the sim only and still allows bootloader unlocked.
but some carriers locked both. you can get a phone which allows to unlocked bootloader, if you buy a free sim phone or bought not in the carrier contract but from other store like sony store or any store that sells free sim phone.
please dont make things complicated.

With Unlocking Bootloader you will lose X-Reality, which is not a big deal anyway because it not improve the images, and Bionz processing but actually this not influence the functionality of the camera at all. No body said about Bravia Engine, I hope not.

I just wondered if anyone had gotten any news from Sony as to if the bootloader on a not allowed model van be unlocked in anyway?
I'm aware that threads exist and ppl are flashing roms on handsets with locked bootloader but I think those are allowed to unlock theirs.
Is there still no way to unlock bootloader on disallowed models either officially or unofficial?
I want custom rom
Just to add a little clarity to this, gregbradley helped me a lot with this.
If you've bought the phone from a carrier then there is a distinct chance that the bootloader unlockable status will be a flat no.
What does this mean?
This means that you will never (unless someone cracks it, highly unlikely) be able to unlock your bootloader.
If you bought your phone from certain carriers (like 3 in the UK, or so i'm told) or from third parties like carphone warehouse in the UK, then you WILL be able to unlock the bootloader, as the status for unlocking the bootloader will read "Yes".
If you see a yes then youre in luck, if it reads no then you most certainly will not be able to unlock the bootloader.
Further to this, Sony will not help you with this whatsoever, I have asked and asked and got little more than a scripted response, they WILL NOT help you to unlock your bootloader.
The sim being locked to a particular network means nothing to the bootloader, it's simply a coincidence that third parties who have bootloader unlockable phones are too sim free.
Hope this clears things up for people who weren't sure.
AFAIK, it is at the carriers request that the bootloader is in this state, not Sony's, probably why they won't help with it, but that's a guess.
double post.

You can still have all the goodness of custom roms m8, you just won't be able to flash kernels like doom kernel and or AOSP rom's and CM10 based roms.
In all fairness, youre not missing out on too much, but I was the same when i had a locked phone, the grass always appears to be greener on the other side until you realise it's actually not.

Hello,
This is my first post on here, I was scrolling through looking for a way to get the glove mode on my xperia z1, but I cant find anything about it.
Anyway, I bought codes off two different websites and both ended up refunding me and saying that they couldn't get the code.
I went on eBay and bought a code for $30CAD and it was in my inbox the next day and worked fine. The guy that sells them is very nice too. His eBay username is rakeshb10.
Look him up and get your unlock code there. You can check his feedback before you buy it, he has all good feedback.
Oh and some websites say you need to put in a SIM card from another carrier to enter the unlock code, that's actually alot more work. Just open your dialer and type *#*#SIMLOCK#*#*
Obviously use the numbers instead of letters, I just can't recall them right now. You just click network lock and enter the code and your good to go. Make sure you get the code first because you only get so many attempts to enter the code. If you enter the wrong one and use up all your attempts, your phone will be locked out.
I am attaching a screenshot of the SIMLOCK app and proof that mines unlocked. I also just got this phone on a two year contract just weeks prior to unlocking it. I'm staying with Bell for now though.
Hope I helped.

[Q] How to unlock tmobile Z1s

I just recently bought a z1s coming from an s3. so far i love how smooth and fast the phone is. The camera quality is pretty bad however but thats beside the point. I need to unlock my phone does anyone know how i can do this? i heard the bootloader is locked or something, does that affect the phone being able to be unlocked? any help would be appreciated thank you
What I know your phone is Locked and it cannot be Unlocked, there is no workaround, thanks to TMO. You will still get Root anyway so is not so bad.

It will unlock with an unlock code. You can get that from T-Mobile. If you bought the phone outright, you can get the code from them. If upgraded, then you can wait 90 days... Or, 40 days, I've heard both. I don't know if those third party websites can unlock it with the code. Yes, the bootloader is locked, but with the released kernel source, we will have root once someone can figure it out.
Coming from the S3 like you, I know of that hidden menu that allows you to SIM unlock Samsung phones, from my research I've done, I don't think Sony phones have that. It needs a direct code.

I bought the unlock code for my Z1s online, different seller but worked none the less. Took about 4 days turnaround on the code, Sony unlock codes seem to take longer to generate than other manufacturers. Many of us have been buying unlock codes online for some years now, I've never heard of any IMEI related issues.
tbh i think im just gonna return this and get the LG G2. do you guys know how i could avoid paying the restock fee?

I work for TMo and can tell you that the official policy is that the restocking fee is only waived for defective devices, and then only if it's being exchanged for the same model. That being said, it's often left to the rep's/manager's discretion and some may waive it for you. I often waive it for people just to be nice, but it really just depends on who you go to and how strictly they are adhering to T-Mobile policy.
