If I get the Xperia Play Sim Unlocked...

If I get the Xperia Play sim unlocked, Can I then unlock the bootloader?

if you unlock your bootloader via jinx or alejandrissimo it will unlock your sim at the same time... i used alejandrissimo, very professional and was unlocked in minutes but it is the paid way.
unlocking your sim will not change anything at all to do with your bootloader im afraid, if your sim locked the paid way is the only way - $24 well worth it!!

Looks like thats the way im going to have to go. On the plus side, I get paid tuesday. =)
But yeah, I was just wondering cause I know people were like you cant unlock the bootloader if its a sim locked phone and all this other stuff and I was thinking, What if I called up ATT and got them to unlock the IMEI?
But if that wont change anything, I guess the paid method is how im going to have to go about doing this.
Thanks

If you get it sim unlocked your bootloader will then be allowed to be unlocked.

I believe the bootloader is specific Per-Device.
You can check if you can in your settings, excuse my newbieness,
Settings > Root Status (or something to this effect)
If your bootloader can be unlocked it'll be listed there.
I dont think the status of your SIM (locked or unlocked) affects the bootloader.

Well... Then I guess Im just gonna call up ATT and get the unlock code. Unlock the phone's sim lock and see if I can, Worse comes to worse, I cant. I still have the paid method available and I havent paid any money what so ever.

Ive looked there and it doesnt show. Which is what brought my hopes down in the first place but everywhere I looked... it said I cant because the device is simlocked. Which is why i wanna know if getting the sim lock removed would then allow me to access and unlock the Bootloader via FastBoot.
I have never owned a phone that has stopped me from rooting and installing custom roms to it. This is kinda a dissapointment but on the plus side, its a good phone.

Hard to get an unlock code from AT&T Or so I heard, but if you do, if you can tell me what you said, that'd be great.
If you do get an unlock code from them, Cant hurt to try to unlock the bootloader after that.

Im a "Valued" member of ATT. Had them for years. So, They dont question me. As long as youve had the phone on your account for 90 days, they dont bother you if you ask for a unlock code.
I will most likely do this tomorrow and will post the outcome. because like I said, if it just takes unlocking the sim card from ATT to be able to unlock the bootloader... id rather do that.
Im not against paying 24$ to have it done.. but why not try what I can for free first?

Hi everyone, I'm completely new to smartphones, just bought an Xperia Play 800i. I have been keenly reading the forums, going through everything I need to know.
My android version is 2.3.4 and build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42. Phone is network locked.
If you don't mind letting me know, the best way to start is by unlocking the SIM right? Then unlock the bootloader,then custom kernel and flashing?
Your advise would be appreciated.

AFAIK regular SIM unlocking doesn't let you unlock your bootloader.
I've read of people who pay a little or get sim unlock from other methods which isn't enough for the bootloader.
It's just that Alejandrissimo's method unlocks both sim & allows for bootloader (it's a 2 for 1 method).
Hope it helps, and if AT&T gives you a free sim unlock code then give it a shot, but it's said it doesn't work that way.

I'm trying Alejandrissimo's method and I'm lost. Have PM'd him and waiting for his reply. I am not on the AT&T network.

Thought that was only T-Mobile. Sadly I dont even have an account with them, Just bought the phone from ebay. So im probably gonna have to spend more to get the thing sim-unlocked.
Oh, look what I found on AT&T's website.
Requirements for monthly wireless plans:
Your wireless service has been active for 90 days or longer
Your account is current and in good standing
Your phone is not sold exclusively by AT&T
Your phone's unlock code is available from the manufacturer
Your phone does not have a long-term exclusive service agreement, or the contract time period has expired

I'm stuck at the USB over Network stage, keeps saying server unreachable when I select MY PC. What am I doing wrong? So frustrated!

You can get your Xperia unlocked in less than 10 minutes by Alejandrissimo. When he SIM unlocks your Xperia he will also automatically unlock bootloader.
You can visit his website here.

I visited his website, downloaded the zip file, and then I'm stuck not knowing what to do next.
So, you are saying I have to wait for him to respond to my request? So, I guess the USB over Network program will be used by him, to remote unlock my Xperia? I'm cool with that because I want to pay for the service.

Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus (GT-S7500)

Hi all. I've checked everywhere to the best of my ability on these forums and elsewhere and can't find any way to unlocked the network lock on my Ace Plus gt-s7500. all the methods for other samsungs are ineffective, is this phone immune to unlocking?

Anyone have an update to this please?
Thanks .

I would like to know if anyone has an answer to this too. I have rooted the phone, installed busy box 1.20 in order to try and use the BML15 exploits (listed for other samsung phones) but none of them work with this phone. Unlocking firms want £20-50 in the UK

Hi guys, theres just a network for normally samsung galaxy ace.
(Watch here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204705 )
But i found a website where you can unlock your mobile Galaxy Ace Plus. I hope taht its the right one.
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...om-T-Mobile-AT-amp-T-Vodafone-Rogers-Bell-etc

I've just bought a s7500 from ebay and found out it's locked to Virgin.
Could someone please help us find a way to unlock this phone? I can't find anything on google either.
It's been out for months, why is it that nobody has found a way to unlock it?

First step would be to get the Unlock Code for your Samsung Cell Phone
We can provide you the unlock code.
Click/Copy link to get it: Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500 Unlock Code
unlockphonenetwork.com (Put link in your adress)
How to enter the Unlock Code?
1. Switch ON your phone with a not Accepted SIM Card,
2. Phone will ask for "Network Password"
3. You can now enter the Unlock Code we send to you.
4. Your Samsung is now unlocked!
OR (if phone show "Insert Correct SIM Card")
1. Switch ON your phone with a not Accepted SIM Card,
2. Compose : #0111*CODE#

Your site doesn't even offer unlock codes for my carrier. It's on Virgin Mobile.
Anyway, I think it's pretty obvious that we're not looking to spend £40 on something that should be free. This is essentially a forum for phone hacking...
I'm only interested in finding a way to unlock the phone that is completely free.

It's little expensive to pay 35$ to unlock a phone maybe 20 $ I'm waiting for an offer

Just checked out those links and they don't mention the gt-s7500.
I've done some research, and it does not appear to be possible to use these pre-existing tools to unlock an s7500

do not expect a tool made only for your phone

No he is right, the ones made for the S, S2 original Ace and Vibrant do not work. There are also mentions of extracting and modifying the efs folder in a hex editor or the .bl5 partition but these do not yield any data. I have emailed xda developer chainfire but i doubt he will be able to help as he does not have one of these devices. For now we are stuck

****
Would there be a way to do a batch search in hex for 8 digit strings that resemble an unlock code?
If I knew my unlock code, and then searched those root files for that exact string, maybe we'd know how to unlock s7500s?
Or is that over simplifying it?

Any updates on chainfire?
I'm amazed there is nobody out there who has worked this out yet...

Would really appreciate it if someone could help us out... It's quite annoying having a s7500 but not being able to use it as a phone.... Sort of pointless actually.

Anyone? Have tried loads of methoods - none didnt work'd

I've been looking for a way to unlock GT-S7500 but without success. Seems that Samsung Tool 12.6 and newer by z3x-team is able to unlock it but they are charging for it. In case anyone has it and is willing to share, will be much appreciated

I used unlocksamsungonline [dot] nl and bought a code for 15E. It solved the problem in few seconds. Better this way than waiting for free codes and not using a phone I paid for.

Still Noone?
Heeeey
I just received a S7500 (Ace Plus) from my friend and tried to unlock it using the BML5 method and some others i found in this Forum and im a bit frustrated that none of them worked... :'(
Is nobody out there that could share a hint (Link, Tutorial, Video, Screenshot) that could help people unlocking this Model??
I guess im still not the only one out there that has a locked Ace + and is not very happy about it.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help us!
Greetings!

The unlocking of the bootloader and rooting as nothing to do with been sim locked. What you could do is phone 3 and tell them you are going abroad on holiday and need it unlocking so you can put another cheaper sim in when your abroad.

Give them a bell, its worth a shot. Didnt realise they sim lock their contract phones (apart from iPhone and Blackberry and specials), a lot of other providers dont care because your tied to them with the contract.

Is the T-Mobile OP7T (HD1907) screwed because of the locked bootloader?

I've read here that the bootloader is locked on T-Mobile's OP7T, are we screwed when it comes to rooting? Doing a search for HD1907, I hardly see anything related to rooting it successfully. Has anyone done it yet? Is there hope for us HD1907s?
Thanks!

You can request a sim unlock from mobbdeep and you'd be able to unlock your bootloader once you sim unlock your phone. Then you can proceed to convert to international if you please.
Edit: it's a week wait period just like previous tmo OnePlus devices we should know this.

Bootloader unlock is in the developer options section of settings. you have to get the unlock token and submit it to OnePlus for your unlock bin. Once the unlock bin is flashed you're bootloader unlocked.

Know of any disadvantages to switching to the US Global version of the OS? Seems like those are being updated faster than the T-Mobile versions.

I'm planning on writing up some documentation about the conversion process once I get my unlock code (should be here tomorrow which means it might take me a few days to mess with it and get it all nice and neat)

You don't. It takes exactly 7 days from when you submitted it. You can check back on the site you submitted the request on and you'll see when it's done, and you can then download it from there. Pestering OnePlus or T-Mobile does nothing, you won't get it any faster.

Did you have phone service for six months (and at the time of the unlock) or just owned the phone that long?

i am with tmo it all depends on who you get and how present it to tmo on why you need it u locked i got mine unlocked on day one within a hour and im making payments granted ive been with them for like ten years so im sure that helps.ive done it before but i will admit it sounded harder this time the rep was like i will be right back with you i have to get this approved with a superviser ten minutes later he said it was approved and within 24 hours i would be able to unlock inrebooted phine from there and unlocked it.the oem lock in dev settings took 3 days before moto unlocked that as for unlocking my bootloader i havent went thay far yet i dont see the need yet and ive read you will not receive updates.honestly unless you are a developer there isnt alot on this device yet im sure it will come but i think ive seen one rom twrp i believe is spotty at the moment were probably a good three months atleast away before it really starts rolling.i will say it you use my way with metro make sure u sound like your in a officail compasity and you have a need as mot to spill the beans thats all i will say and good luck
