I have sony experia z with network unlock attempts left 0, is there any solution to reset counter or anything else? Kindly let me know if anyone got any solution.
Best regards
Hey, as far as I know you've hardlocked your network. That means you can't reset counter and you don't have any other tries left. I haven't found anything to make it work anyway myself, so I'm just telling you what I do know at the moment.
Maybe ring the network for the PUK code to reset

Hi folks,
can you help me with my phone Htc kaiser. I put password on my phone but I can´t remmember it. I know I am stupid. I can´t do synchron., hard reset ...nothing. Do I have to wait another 48 hour put password again, or it´s some way how to do it? Do I have to go to service with it?
Thanks for advice

To bypass the password, you need to hard reset the phone.
Press and hold the two soft keys while doing a soft reset. This will erase all your data, which is a consequence of someone else trying to bypass your password , they won't find anything.
If you pin-locked your sim, you get three tries to input the right pin. If you fail three times, the sim locks and you need to get the PUK code from your provider , but be careful, if you input the PUK code wrong ten times, the sim is permently locked and you wil have to purchase a new sim.
Hi,
I am really glad that somebody try help me, but try read my post .... password in phone, no hard reset, no synchr., it has nothing with SIM card or PIN, PUK code.
It is passw for phone, SIM card is OK I use it in second phone.
Anybody can help me, please.
You can't get pass the password on the phone unless you know what it is. This is to prevent access from third parties if your phone is stolen.
As mentioned above. What you need to do is a hard reset. This will however WIPE ALL YOUR DATA but it will also remove the password.
You have mentioned it won't sync. This is a feature of the password but that also means that when you do do your hard reset, by putting it back into the computer you can restore most if not all of your phone book entries.
Otherwise keep guessing!
Hello, today I got a LG Optimus Black. It was used before.
The problem is that is has password which I don't know and the previous owner doesn't know either... It also probably has a simlock on an English network, and I live in Poland... Is there a way to make it work? I can't run any app because the phone requires the password on start up...
Help please. If it is not possible to do it myself, does anyone know how much would it be to service it? I don't have any papers or warranty...
Have you tried to boot without sim?
It's not a PIN code, it's code of the telephone. Yes, I have.
If it is a simlock, without sim it wouldn't appear.
I remember a similar case in the forum... search and see if he resolved it...
Maybe you could reflash the phone!
Hey everyone.
I am having a real problem with my Sony Xperia T. I have searched forums and google to find a solution and nothing. Also this website is probably best when it comes to sorting out android problems. My Sony Xperia T (I think) is now hard locked. O2 (UK) sent me an unlock code which did not work and now I get the following within the service info > sim lock:
[X] network 0
[] network subnet 0
[] Service Provider 0
[] Corporate 0
[] SIM 0
I think this status means its still locked and I cant use an unlock code anymore.
Also I can't unlock the bootloader because I get the following:
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed = No
If anyone could help I'd appreciate it even if someone can point me in the right direction
Thanks again,
Regards David
Normally the phone gives you 10 attempts. Did you use all 10? Looks like you may be stuck.
Also, not surprised about the Bootloader unlock allowed = no. A lot of our phones (that came from a carrier) have this status and there is currently no way to make the bootloader unlockable.
It first came up as only 5 attempts and trusting the code I've used them all up.
Yeah I agree a lot of Sony Xperia's have the bootloader set to 'no' currently haven't a clue what to do

I wonder....if the 5 attempts were used by you on that code they provided (and it is certain that you were typing the code correctly), could the carrier be persuaded to replace or repair the unit for you?

That's the next step.
I'm hoping they replace the handset or at least fix it and I'm 100% i typed the right code in. I will keep this thread updated because I've seen a lot of Xperia's being hard locked and no solution!
Hi guys,
First poster here.
I recently sold what I thought was an unlocked Sony Xperia Z, it turns out it wasnt.
I contacted Three, and submitted the IMEI number to get the unlock code for the buyer but by the time I had sent it to him (within 24 hours of him receiving the handset), he had put in the wrong code too many times when trying to get his O2 sim to work with it.
I believe there is an unlock[x] network [0] error, where the 0 I have read represents the number of tries left.
He has tried factory resetting it, and hard resetting it (however I dont know if this is true as I have never met him in person and cant oversee the process) and says the number remains the same.
Is there any way of resetting this number?
Cheers guys!
Unfortunately, there's no official way of resetting the number of attempts. The only thing that may possibly work is if you have a backup of the TA partition that you made before he entered the wrong code. Restoring it may reset the attempts. If you haven't, then the phone is now permanently network locked to Three. There's no way around this as the network lock status is stored in a protected area which cannot be edited (the TA partition).
In my opinion, the buyer should have to live with what they did. It was very, very foolish of him to repeatedly input the wrong unlock code and it has rendered the phone less valuable because of his mistake.

I have a Sony XZ3 which was bought second hand 18 months ago. It's worked fine until about 1 month ago when it didn't get good signal or data anymore.
I am in the UK and use a giffgaff sim which runs on the o2 network. I found after some investigation that the phone for some reason was now connected to The Virgin network and I can't get it off.
Giffgaff have not been able to help, they said the phone is now locked to Virgin, Virgin said the phone is not locked but they did confirm that when it was bought new it was from them. Checking the handset it actually does say unlocked.
Have done a sim swap - the sim works fine, it's the phone that's the problem. It does the same with a different giffgaff sim in it.
Have reset network but it doesn't work and just defaults back to Virgin again. Have done factory reset 3 times but again just defaults back to Virgin every time. It says all other networks unavailable.
Can someone help please with what to do next?
Is there some kind of hard reset which will wipe everything including whatever is causing it to be switching to Virgin all the time? Or some way to override it?
It still shows no signal most of the time even though it says it's on Virgin
Thank you.
Hi everyone. I have the same problem. Since some weeks ago my phone doesn't recognize any network, not wifi or mobile and the it reset alone. I was told that it might be a software problem. I have already done factory reset and software repair from xperia companion but the problem persists.
I don't know if any of you knows if this is a hardware problem. But also I was trying to install a custom rom for android 11 to see if the problem is solved, but I can't unlock the bootloader either. I followed Sony official instructions to do this but for some reason Windows 10 doesn't recognize the phone after I turn it off and the press and hold the volume up button while connecting the phone to the PC with the usb cable. The drivers are installed but in the device manager it appears with a code 10 saying that the device might not be able to be recognize.
I have already checked if I can unlock the bootloader and it says yes.
Thank you very much.
