How to Unlock Siemens T-mobile SX56

Hi All,
I purchased a Siemens T-mobile unlocked phone on eBay, and just received it.
The phone is not unlocked and it doen not reads my current SIM ,
however on the face of the phone there is one sticker that says , "UNLOCK CODE xxxxxxxx" There is an eight digit number which is the unlocking code i guess.
I wanted to know how to go about unlocking the phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

SX56 unlocking
The SX56 is a HTC Wallaby, if I remember right. Since you have an "unlock code" on the device, give that a go first. Insert a sim card that it should not work with (due to the simlock) and start the device. It should then ask for the unlock code. Enter the 8-digit code. If it's accepted, you are done.
I used to have an SX56 (among other wallabies). Some were locked, but I never unlocked any of them with a code. You can do it without that. Grab the "special" rom from the FTP here (/Wallaby/ROM/) and flash it on the device. When it boots up for the first time, it will ask if you want to unlock the phone. Click yes, and it's done. After that you can flash any other rom you like, the lock doesn't come back.
There is also a simple exe that you can run on the device to do the same thing, but some files need to be present on the pda, so it might not work with the current rom.
In any case, you should be able to do it, especially with the code and all.

I want that program please

Issues flashing a locked T-Mo Wing

Ok, so I'm sure someone will say this has been answered 100 times but I can't find it in the forums.
I have a locked T-Mobile Wing. I tried entering unlock codes but I guess I entered wrong codes enough that it's really locked. It boots to a screen asking for the Password to unlock (only shows a numpad on screen) and Active Sync won't connect to it (it says I have to unlock the device before it connects).
Hence, I'm not able to run the ROM loader tools which require me to install a CAB file on the device first.
Anyone have a solution to this?

you could just call tmobile and tell them what happened?
I'm sure they might have a way to unlock it.

Yeah.... I bought the phone on eBay. T-Mo says I need to be the original customer in order for them to provide me an unlock code.

Unlocking Bootloader Trouble

Hello,
I bought a Sony Xperia Acro S off eBay and the seller must have forgotten to mention that it's a Chinese version phone.
Navigating settings and switch the language to English was simple enough, but then I realize it's bloated with Chinese apps and lacks 'Play Store' and has something called 'PlayNow' in its place -- which is the real problem.
After searching a while I decided my best bet would be to unlock the bootloader so that I could install something different using Sony's flashing tool.
This, of course, requires me to first unlock the bootloader.
I attempted to follow the directions at the Sony 'unlock boot loader' sire in order to do this, but unfortunately at step 15 things don't go well for me and when I enter the command prompt fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version , instead of getting a version return I get a list of command (attachment) options and I have yet to find anywhere after 8 hours of forum searching to tell me what to do. All I see is, "You should get..." yeah, well... I should... but I don't.
My next move was to try and use flashtool in order to unlock the bootloader. So I downloaded it, installed it, then installed the accompanying driver program with all boxes checked.
I clicked the BLU button and set it to flashmode as it told me, then switched to fastboot mode as it told me, then it when it gets to the unlocking part o the process it shows my IMEI number and asked for the bootloader key that Sony sent me.
I'm feeling pretty good at this point and enter the key and then what do I see? FAILED (remote: oem unlock failed!)
I really don't know what my next move is. I'm just hoping someone her has my missing information.
If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Try Again, make sure you entered the right IMEI Key (i acidently typed the wrong one a couple of times)
also make sure Fastboot, ADB are installled, (ALSO make sure that the drivers for the Device are installed)
if you need anything just ask or google it, im sure someone else can help you more than i can aswell
If all fails your boot-loader may be non UNLOCKABLE

It is unlockable... that's one of the first steps. Don't forget that Sony even sent me the unlock key.
The IMEI is automatically detected by flashtool and it is uneditable. It's correct nonetheless.

Hi, I have an unlock code given from official Sony Developer website, but i can't go into flashboot mode ( unlock alowed: no ). There is any way to impact the unlock code given?
Thanks

[SOLVED] Help to unlock Z5 Premium ?!

Hi there guys! I've got Xperia Z5 Premium (as far as my PC recognize it as such).
It is probbably with locked bootloader, cuz in fastboot it gives me error : <remote:failed command not allowed>
BUT i do not have access to the menu. I found the phone in one mountain near a hut, so far i decidet to try flashing it, but it seems bootloader is locked. Phone is locked also with pin code.
The usual methods i found need IMEI, which i do not have. If i open it, is tehre IMEI number ?
Is there any way to flash it or get the IMEI?
PLS guys, don't bother ****talking about stolen device or such... If anyone recognize it, come and get it.
SOLUTION that worked for me : https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-premium/general/how-to-tottaly-unlock-xperia-z5-premium-t3585640

if you have find that device in a hut. its probably better to return to authorities! the owner might have valuable data in it! atleast try tracking down the owner!
however you can still flash the device via FLASHTOOL using flashmode / original STOCKROM only and you can keep the data also alive by just excluding wipes in the flash firmware area.
once booted try to find the owner info and return the device!

Hi. I work in that hut, it is in ski resort, so you can imagine how many people are going thru there. 2 months, phone was ON and connected to WiFi. No sign that someone is looking for it.
There is no owner info on the lock screen, so.... And where i live, authorities are worst than thiefs, so, that is not an option. As there is no IMEI or other info on the phone itself, i think it is unable to find the owner! Also it is foreign sim card in it, but noone calls or text.
EDIT: I've used both flashtool and fastboot, but no success. In flashtool it says "Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked" , in fastboot > Failed(remote:command not allowed)
So, is this a one nice BRICK with clock on it ?!
Isn't there any way to force flash or unlock screen or bootloader ?!

you cannot just simply unlock the bootloader like that. you have to request SONY to send you unique keys and these used as password in order to unlock you bootloader! ( i.e. if the device is NOT SIMLOCKED from the origin country)
-- unlocking bootloader means LOOSING your DRMKEY/TA BACKUPS ,
please make your self aware of all the circumstances!

I have key to unlock bootloader from SONY. May be option in phone menu is restricted so this stop apps from flashing :/
I know about all circumstances.
So far i've flashed OEM rom, but now it ask for google account that was previously used on that phone, which is annoyng. Sony is copying apple or what ? Wtf happen with our android devices

it will remain mystery to me that how did you manage to have imei number of the device while phone was locked---- anyways
while device is open , goto dialer and dial *#*#7378423#*# then goto service info >>> Configuration and check "BOOTLOADER UNLOCK ALLOWED:" if it says NO then sorry, this device cannot be BOOT UNLOCKED. better to return it!
the previous google account prompt is because the old user data is intact. perform CLEAN FLASH , wipe EVERYTHING. (just tick the boxes as shown in the image (FLASHTOOL FLASHMODE , FIRMWARE SELECTED)
and a Big NO to sony copying Apple. and nothing happend to android devices! you can have easy go devices like huawei/lenovo/alcatel/(even samsung) etc. their stockrom can easily be xploited and kingroot supports various of devices under those brands. however Kingroot removed SONY from their website after Android 5.1 since they could not bypass SonyRIC from Android 6

I've got imei thru Flashtool, Emma, there it showed me Imei number.
This option with the code in dialer may be usefull with older android version, now it is unable to use it thru emergency call, since i do not have access to dialer itself.
I performed clean OEM flash thru Flashtool, wipe everything, but account lock is still there.
I do not know where to return it! It is foreign phone. I wait 2 months for someone to call or look for it. I work in ski resort and almost every day someone found lost phone. If i return it to police, they ouldn' do anything about it. Will sell it for 20euro probbably. I have friend in police department so i know what is going in there.

the startup screen first time always ask many questions about you in order to personalize your device. you can skip many of them including google account
but i am talking about fresh start. any other old user data will always ask you credentials
