Hi gang,
I could really use some help with this one please. How do I unlock a UK T-Mobile to a US T-Mobile?
Thanks
Chris
tri and quadro band phones work as default both in uk and us
so it's just a matter of sim unlocking the device there is a thread called
all in one unlocker
and it does just what it's name sugest
thanks
OK, this is not working for me. Is there any other software or place I can find it?
good day
i recently received a second hand Imate K-Jam. the problem is that it is locked to T-Mobile and unfortunately the network is not available in the country i reside in. please assist with any applications that could possible unlock the phone
thanks in advance

Yup!
Sim unlock is possible and can be done in two ways,it depends on the DOC chip reference of your K-jam, G3 DOC chip or G4 DOC chip.
If G3 it can be done with 'lokiwiz02b' method,it'll permanently unlock SIM,which gives you the option to put in and use sim of any cellular network and use.
If G4 DOC chip,it can be done through using lokiwizMSL 0.3a,which will provide you with a unlocking SIM code.which you can put in at the option when you use sim of any cellular netwok and it asks for a SIM/PIN code.
To SIM unlock G3 version phone with lokiwiz02b check this link:-

To obtain Sim unlocking code through lokiwiz 0.3a,check out this link:-

Hi There
Hi There
I have the same problem...could you solve your problem.
let me know pls.
Thanks
I had bought a Japan ARC [SO-01], unfortunately, I bought it b4 1 April, so i cannot get unlocked by docomo and also I'm not in japan now...
I think the unlock code from some provider also work but the problem is that, my phone will not prompt any unlock key insert screen, please help :"(
All Docomo phones sold before and after April 1st still come carrier-locked. The only difference is that starting April 1st, you can now take your handset into Docomo, pay ￥3150, and get your phone unlocked -- even if you bought your phone before April 1st.
You will have to go into a Docomo store, however. If your phone is still carrier-locked (to Docomo), your best shot is to find someone in Japan who can do it for you. Perhaps you can contact the seller and arrange the unlock for some fee.

thanks for confirming this info , i have ordered a docomo xperia arc so that i can use it in the usa , but people have been doubting that it can be unlocked because it was released on March 24th.
the Lt15a(America version) and the Docomo SO-01c are hte same and that is why i ordered from japan
this website has the unlock for xperia arc
http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-x12-unlock-codes-p-3329.html
Although they say "They can do" but actually they cannot do, because nobody can find entry screen for unlock code. I bought UNLOCK code from them but cannot do this.

i have contacted this unlock code provider
they have replied sayin it is possible
in the middle of the page there is a way to show you how you get the code screen and hidden menu
this was their reply(my original message is at the bottom
Hi,
Of course there is such possibility. SE XPERIA ARC can unlock here: http://sim-unlock.net/simlock/Sony-Ericsson/Xperia Arc/

Subject: xperia arc
Can you unlock the japanese xperia arc ?
its the Docomo SO-01c
Basically Docomo says this model cannot be UNLOCKED and this has to keep specified ROM.
But finally I could UNLOCK by flashing global ROM and after completing ROM flashing, unlock screen appeared. Therefore I could enter unlock code successfully!
But the key thing is that this cannot be returned to original ROM which is provided from Docomo, so now this is UK or Chinese (HKG) version (LT-15i).
And slightly Japanese font is different from original font style, probably this is Chinese KANJI, I guess.
You can return it to DoCoMo firmware. You just need somebody to update their DoCoMo arc and send you the firmware files.

If you would like to reveal how to do so, I could be of assistance.

Sure, the box says exactly this: "GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS/HSPA Bands 1/2/5/6" The UMTS/HSPA bands are 2100/1900/850/800.
You need someone with DoCoMo firmware to update their phone. If they then pack the 'db' folder from SEUS and upload it, I will be able to make an .ftf file for flashtool.

Hi,
Usually I am in Japan but this month I have to stay in France. If I get a Xperia arc european version here and then take it to Japan with me.
Will it be possible to use it in Japan? Does the european version support the japanese network?
Will it be possible to flash the docomo firmware to use sp mode?
Thanks

No, you can not get the European version, the LT15i, for use on DoCoMo. I'm unsure of Softbank.
Arg. Too bad. Thanks for the quick reply.

I think that any japan arc, could be flashed anywhere with an european version software (ie: unlocked LT15i flash rom). The phone will result with the european firmware, but it will support american and japanese networks.
I did that with my C905, its model is "C905a", but I flashed it whit the C905i firmware because of different spanish text from Europa. I use 3G in chile with no prob.
SO, can't this be done to a Japanese Xperia arc?

Hello everyone,

Which country are you located? If you buy from Sony Mobile there wasn't any carrier and its Unlock. So, no branding at all. It just came with Sony preloaded software.
Otherwise, you could get it here and shipped to you.

Hi, Italy here. The Italians Carrier wil brand devices with the StartUp logo and some bookmarks.
Same issue for me.
I've ordered an Z1 Compact and I got a TIM branded device, now I need to understand if I should ask for a replacement or I can debrand without any risk.
You could flash an unbranded firmware to get rid of any software branding. Just make sure your device doesn't have a SIM lock or similar: dial *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#service#*#*), then go to Service info, SIM lock.
Read (!! not just browse) the Resource Thread for further instructions.
