Hi, firstly really sorry if this has been bought up before but i spent ages reading everything on these forums as well as on google, and I'm used to modding my old HD2 with new roms and radios ect so I'm not new to this.
However, i have just purchased an xperia arc off ebay, was told its unlocked, but infact is locked to tmobile Now i could just send it back, but is there possibly a way (an idiots guide) to unlocking my phone? all i want is for it to work on my vodafone sim card. If i have to pay then wheres best/most reliable place to go?
Cheers in advance

I heard a lot of bad things about this from various people around the thread and forums not just in XDA
I would not go with that company if I were you (just a feeling)
I am thinking of getting an Xperia Play 4G off Craigslist for ~$100 to use as a gaming device. Do you think this is worth it? Or should I just stick with my DS?
Also, what are the steps for installing a custom rom on the AT&T model? Is there a bootloader to unlock? Would I have to flash special stuff (lol)? I know how to flash everything and all this, just don't really have the time to search the whole forum and pick out the details and instructions and stuff.
THANKS
Respond, guys!!!!!!

You would have to pay to unlock the bootloader. The cost is $24- $26 can't really remember. That's the only thing about the at&t model. I think it is very worth it at $100, especially when comparing to a DS lol. No offense. You might still play your ds though as there isn't any ds emulator out. So yea, I think it worth it for gaming becuase no other phone has a gamepad lol. Goodluck man
Thanks man!

Hi Everyone
Wishing you a Happy New Year.
As like the other Sim Unlock thread for X8 and X10. I am starting this for the Xperia S.
The different is this is a Code Unlock.
I will need the IMEI no(*#06#) . Make sure you have not entered too many wrong codes before ie sony has a limit for 5.
If you have entered more than 5 codes then what ever code you have it will not work.
I will be able to give out only 1 code per week as this is expensive for me to get hold of the codes. Whereas I have been giving the cable unlocks for free.
Please do not post your IMEI here, send it by pm to me.

I'm getting an AT&T Xperia Ion as a gift and I wanna unlock it before giving it so that it can be used on T-Mobile. So, my questions are:
Do you get the code for the Ion too or only the S?
How much is it? Or is it free?
Is it guaranteed to work?
You said, you can only do 1/ week, so if I sent you the IMEI tonight when do you expect to deliver the code?
Thanks a lot in advance and sorry for asking all these questions. This is the first time for me to deal with something like this or even a Sony phone...

I will be able to give 1 free code weekly as it costs me to get hold of the codes for these phones. Takes 2-3 days to generate the code. Any Sony Xperia phone can be unlocked.
Hi,
If i send you my IMEI, would you be able to get the code for my Sony Xperia S?
Yes I can do it.

You can go to Orange Service or you can go to WotanServer and unlock it yourself. Sadly, you have to pay in both cases, but i think the second option is cheaper.
The third way is to keep google for a free solution, but i don`t think there`s one.
guy's i'm using a Bravo here in Pakistan, its on 2.2.1 i've rooted with recovery, the issue is that everytime i flash another rom it asks for the "input network pin" prompt and i got no signals and no network, no one can unlock the phone here, but yes on froyo i've got my network, thankfully i restored a backup that i made and i get my network back... any one can help me get my phone fully unlocked so i can flash other roms other than froyo?
I would move this topic from Bravo Android Development over to Bravo General because there is where all of the Q&A topics should go. Just my suggestion, tho.
yes this should be moved, but answering your question @jafferkhan, it happened to me before, it is because you bought an cheap unlock code, everytime you flash it, it will ask for the unlock code, buy the code from another server, I know one that worked for me before, or try direct unlock with sigma key, all this methods are paid services

hey juan, thanks for the prompt response, you guys have helped me understand a lot about this phone, yes you're right, i think i will need to get it unlocked, but the entire phone cost me less than 15 dollars here where i am, and i know that it's been softunlocked, to run on 2.2.1 which is why when i upgrade it, it won't unlock, if you can, how to soft unlock it on CM7.2? so i will keep it on that only and it stays unlocked to use it on that
I don't think you could soft unlock this because there is no soft unlock for the Bravo yet like there is for the Defy. Yes, I did suggest you try the Defy soft unlock as a last resort thru PM but it didn't work. Juan seems to know more about this than I do, even I had no idea there was a difference between normal unlock codes and "cheap" ones that only work once. If anything, just find a ROM you would be comfortable staying on and buy another one of those cheap one time use unlock codes Juan talked about in his previous post. I know in my country I have seen cheap unlock codes go for around 2 US Dollars but I don't know how that would translate to Pakistan currency.

Well @jafferkhan there is not free unlock way for mb520, do you have any web store where I can buy a mb520 by 15usd?

If you are interested there is a used Motorola Bravo that is about 55 USA dollars on Amazon (and there's a new version for about 80 USA dollars). It is locked to Consumer Cellular, but it is running 2.2.2 Froyo which a lot of Motorola Bravo developers REALLY REALLY want. You see, most Motorola Bravo phones only run Android 2.2.1 but ONLY CONSUMER CELLULAR VERSIONS RUN ANDROID 2.2.2 SO FINDING ONE WITH 2.2.2 IS VERY RARE AND VERY SOUGHT AFTER. Here is a link to the Amazon product page:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846
EDIT: I actually made a mistake. The one for 50 USA dollars is actually not used, it is new as well.
If you were to get this and it is running 2.2.2 Froyo as its Android version, me and the rest of the Motorola Bravo fans out there would ask you to first perform a system dump of all the Android 2.2.2 files before replacing the Android version with another ROM. To see what I am talking about with the whole Android 2.2.2 on Motorola Bravo thing (and to learn how to perform a system dump as well) take a look at this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200602
@jasonmerc 55usd is too high, you can buy an atrix by 60
It was the lowest price I have seen for this phone anywhere. He told me he bought his phone in Pakistan where he is, and he said he bought it off of some guy and not on an online service like Amazon. So when it comes to buying one where you are (Santo Domingo) an online service might be your only easy option to buying a phone.

jason answered your question before me ... thanks jase, but yeah i got it here from a dude who imports these phones and sells them cheap, i got it for very cheap since it was in a rough condition, almost for free but since i've been using it, it's a very capable small cute phone, here you can get it for as low as 20 in good condition, and yeah an atrix HD for like 70 dollars here
