[Q] [Help] Sony Xperia V SIM Unlock - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hello ! Been browsing xda for few years and found a lot of good info here , keep up the nice work. But now i got some issue and i cant find anything to solve it , maybe some of you could help me.
My problem is that i recently bought a Xperia V, was bought i think from JAPAN , on the top writes on it NTT DOCOMO - has a locked SIM card.
What i tried -
-unlocking bootloader with official sony guide , but if i type *#*#service#*#* says to ROOTING STATUS - BOOTLOADER UNLOCK ALLOW - no, anyway to the SIM LOCK - [x] Network - Unlimited , this means i got unlimited tries to the code it locks it ? still didnt found a way to unlock bootloader
-rooted phone, installed custom recovery
But still havent manager to get rid of that simlock , everytime my phone boots up asks a NETWORK SIM UNLOCK PIN.
Status
Model LT25i, Android Ver. 4.3, Build No. 9.2.A.2.5 ( ask for more info if needed )
I can downgrade to any version using flashtools.
Anyone can guide me if is there anything i can do ?

[Q] Xperia X8 Problem @unlocking

Hi!
I'm a newbie and a total noob on modifying phones..
i just accidentally saw on the internet that it is possible to change the OS of an android phone so i researched it over the net and then i finally arrived at this forum..
Is it possible to unlock and change the ROM of my Sony Xperia x8 E15i?
Here Is the Specs:
Baseband :015
OS: 2.1-update1
Sim lock settings:
Network 5
Network Subset 5
Service Provider 5
Corporate 5
Sim 0
The thing is, i dont have a message below those settings whether i can unlock my phone or not
(Unlocking the bootloader is the next step after rooting it, right?)
My X8 can use any philippine based simcards (eg. smart, globe, sun)
i dont know if it can use any sim cards outside our country.
Can anybody please answer this?
Thank you in advance everyone.
First step is to root your phone. You can change roms (firmware) even with a locked bootloader. You have to look for a rom that works with stock kernel (gingerdx has a version for stock kernel).
Do you want to unlock your bootloader? Take out your phone's battery and check the manufacturing date. If it's 11w28 and below you can unlock it so you can install custom kernels. If it's 11w29 up, forget about it. The risk is too great.
How to flash roms and/or unlock bootloader? Check the guides. There are a lot in xda.

[Q] simlock.ta - relation with Mobile simlocking ??

Hello everyone,
I am looking for sim unlock on my new Xperia Z1 for free, for 7-8 days now... Nothing found ! No free way to do. :crying:
Then I saw some threads speaking about this file : simlock.ta. And then I was thinking "And if only this file may sim unlock my device ??"
So I would like to know:
What's this file ? And what should it do on my phone ?
Then... If I modify this file, can I Unlock my Xperia Z1 ? (locked SFR - France...)
I think understand that, if simlock.ta is deleted, there is no way to use network from any carrier. But, what about Editing simlock.ta ?

I'm looking for sim unlock too, I'm waiting for some hacker or ROM developer give me a light because I'm not from Europe and I have 0 attempts to insert the unlock code, its really hard to me, I have Samsung galaxy S2 locked to orange and I simply install a Galaxy S SIM unlock application on my device and done, the device got unlocked.
I thought with Xperia Z1 would be like that and then I bought, unfortunately I have that issue, a blocked Xperia Z1 .

Yes, Sim Unlock seems to be more easy on Galaxy devices. A friend tell me to try a custom ROM but no result, my Xperia Z1 still ask me the unlock code :/.
I think Simlock infos are stocked in the bootloader because of the carriers lock it systematicaly... But this file awake some questions in my head and... if there is any link with sim unlocking. I want to know how .

I just don't get it, be Samsung or sony or motorola, every device of these companies run android on their devices, android is the same thing at last, I really don't see the difficult. At past a guy hacked NASA and another perform jailbreak on Iphones, what's the matter of simply unlock Sim on Xperia?
Things way more difficult were done before and by the way a unlock sim system already were done for Samsung with android, this could be like a model for others devices, or not, does really the phone brand cares that much about this?

Is my phone network locked?

Hello friends
I have just updated My Xperia V LT25I to Android 4.3 build 9.2.a.2.5 using flashtool
After update, my phone got network locked and asking for unlock PIN for network unlock.
I don't know how it got locked. because it was perfectly fine before.
But when i check its lock counter by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* and simLOCK info, It shows "?" on all values
? network
? network subset
? service provider
? corporate
? sim
Can anyone tell me weather my phone is really locked or what?

network locked

Hi, i changed my c6903 from 5.1 to 4.4.4 and than needed to change it again to 5.1. I don't remember but one of those roms was German.
Problem was that at some point my device was giving me some notifications under lock screen that it might be network locked ro something.
I don't have sim tray because i was using it like tablet.
Is it possible that it could get locked just by puting German rom and if there is a way to check this and to fix this????
Service told me it would cost me 40€ to unlock it if it's locked.
