hello. this is a log story, so i will try to get to the point as quickly as i can.
i have a xperia arc lt15i locked on SFR France, it came with 3.0.A.2.184 branded sfr out of the box. when i inserted an unsupported sim card (orange) it always asked me the sim-unlock code (i never tried a random code). after a while, an update became available for my device 3.0.1.A.0.145 i think, so i updated the software via pc companion. the problem is that after this update, when i insert a unsupported sim card it always says "please insert sim card and restart the phone". and i really need to unlock the phone because i ordered the unlock code. i'm on the generic uk version now, and still have the same problem.
anyone else experienced the same issue? can someone give me an advice please? how can i unlock my phone now? i'm desperate...

but everytime i call out that lady speaks!
i have a SE xperia arc LT15I can anyone help me please?
You posted a link to the unlocking process of the bootloader which has nothing to do with a simlock...as i had some problems with a simlock message appering after installing FreeXperia on mit Xperia Pro i searched the Forums this is something lowlevel and you can't do anything about it aside from get an unlock code when you really have simlock...but since you can actually make a phone call and get a message from your provider i think you should contact them
Bootloader unlocking and SIM unlocking are two separate things.
If you phone was SIM/network unlocked, it is ONCE and PERMANENT. It will not relock.
Contact your carrier.
ok im not going to start other thread now im getting this error
"Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"
i tried other sim cards too. but i read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252019 at post #2
2. Write a Working TA backup from another phone (same model)
3. Restore Security Units.
Thats all, now your phone should boot well but is 90% possible that you dont get Signal so for fix that we need to unlocking.
If this last thing is needed you can refer to this thread:

Hi everyone,
I have a Xperia Arc (LT15i), and I have a problem. Since yesterday, my phone didn't recognize any SIMCARD. It's locked to Vodafone Spain and BL is locked too.
I saw that my Xperia Arc doesn't boot...and I've flashed FIX Fota Bricked Pack for unlocked Bootloaders...and my Bootloader is locked...since this...No SIM Card detected...and no signal...incl one SIM for Vodafone SPAIN.
Any solution????
If I downgrade from ICS to GB with Flashtool it's possible to fix this problem...or what else???? Any ROM for fix this problem??? PC Companion and SEUS said me that my software is up 2 date...and didn't repair...
Thank you in advance! PLZ Help Me! For me it's a BIG BIG problem! I don't have phone!!!....
Try flashing a stock ROM using the flashtool and report back.
Where can I download Stock Rom? What Stock ROM? ICS or GB?
Thanx...Tonight...i'll flash...then report!

From the stickys in general, and I would go with ICS.
I've flashed various ICS stock ROMS...and the problem is the same...Insert SIMCard and restart the phone...
I've used Flashtool 0.9...is there any problem with this version?
Please...any solution? Is my phone dead?
Today I've used SEUS to Update from GB to ICS...and the problem is the same. Still saying...No SIMCARD detected, only emergency calls...or...insert SIM CARD and restart the phone...
What can i do?
Have you taken it out and give it a wipe?
Sent from my Phone.
What???? Sorry but I don''t understand you....
Have you taken the sim card out of the Phone?
Sent from my Phone.
Yes...
And the result is the same...SIM CARD not detected, only emergency calls.
Any solution???
Maybe try put another sim card into your phone and/or your sim card into another phone to test.
I put the SIM on another phone...and SIM seems to be functionally!!! But the same SIM in Xperia Arc nope!
I'll tried anothers SIMS in arc and the result is the same...
After reading many webs...I believe that I found the solution...
Just in this forum...there is a thread with No sim card detected and Emergency Calls...after many tries...solution is Omnius Server and Unlock by certificate replacement. I bought a Single Android License Unlock...tonight I'll try this...if it's resolves my problem, xperia arc will be my phone...if not...BRICK ARC WITH MY HANDS!!! Muahahahahahahaha...
Post results tonight!
hello!
I've got the same problem as you but with my xperia play R800i.
I unlocked it with omnius. I bought a Single Android License Unlock.
Now, it doesn't recognise the sim card.
Could you tell me if you have solved your problem.
Sorry I'm french I don't speak english very well.
All OK!!!! Successfully my Xperia Arc is fully functional...
I bought a Single Android License Unlock from a reseller of Omnius Server in Spain. Only I Need is download Omnius client, connect TestPoint (Clip to bridge 2 GND in Xperia Arc...i don't know on Xperia Play, see testpoint tutorials or Omnius Help!)...then...Network Unlock by certificate replacement...3 seconds left...Power On Xperia Arc...and...
You Hou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hi:
I have Sony Xperia Ion (LT28at) phone with current version of ICS and successfully rooted. My phone is locked
to AT&T.
My issue is SIM card is not detecting.I have unlock code and as per unlock instruction I have inserted other SIM card
and rebooted my phone but no SIM unlock code screen. I think when I insert other working SIM card it should suppose to ask
me for sim unlock code but still I do not see anything, it says "Emergency only". I have verified same SIM card with other
phone and it is working fine.
I will appreciate any help. How do I resolved this issue?
Thanks.
Hello guys,
I have a problem with my Xperia Arc that I cannot find the answer on the forums.
My ARC is originally from MOVISTAR Spain and, after unlocking has been working great with VODAFONE Portugal.
Now I´m changing to TMN and that´s where the problems started. I´ve keept the same number (91) and therefore I went trough a "Portability" process to TMN. Last Friday the process was completed and my VODAFONE SIM card was disconnected.
TMN delivered me a SIM card to exchange. As soon as I did it the phone recognizes the SIM card, I put the PIN number and apparently all is OK.
But, there´s no network signal, and I cant make or receive phone calls or SMS. Everytime I try to call it says "Out of service area". This SIM card works normaly on my wifes LG Optimus Black.
My phone works at 100% with VODAFONE SIM cards and doesn´t work with TMN SIM cards. Despite it´s unlocked I´ve unlocked again the bootloader via Wontanserver. No sucess!
Strange thing though... I have 3G internet signal and I can navigate the web. Cant make phone calls or send SMS!!! Please Help!!!
Thanks in advance guys for any contribute.

When you say you unlocked it do you mean unlocked the bootloader or you also sim unlocked?

Try the simcard in a other phone

Already did! The TMN SIM card works on another phone, not in mine!
On my phone works VODAFONE SIM cards (tried various) and the TMN SIM only works for 3G internet connection, not phone calls or SMS...
HELP
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've read somewhere that this was fixed in another case by putting an unlock code.
Do you know if this can solve my problem? If so, where/how can I get this "unlock code"?
Thanks again.
wontanserver server removes both sim and bootloadel lock, there`s no question there. now, since you have an unlocked bootloader, why don`t you try and flash kernel again ? or try and flash the stock rom, maybe you have some MOVISTAR crap and somehow block your calls, though i doubt that ...

Thanks for your reply. I've already reinstaled the ICS latest update trough PC companion, which "cleaned" my data. And... no luck there.
Does this process equals flashing kernel or stock rom? If so, I can always flash a diferent rom or kernel, do you recomend that?
Thanks for your help m8. I'm really in a jam...
except from vodafone sim cards, is there another sim that work ? are you positive you`ve made the right steps when you unlocked you`re bootloader ? try other sim, except form vodafone or TMN, make sure you don`t have some kind of network lock.

Yes, all sim cards work great with TMN sim cards as exceptions. I've tried old and new TMN sim cards. No luck! 3G signal for internet but no service for calls or SMS.
I´ve ordered a CHECKMEND report to see if my IMEI could be blocked/blacklisted by TMN and it came out with 0 problems!
Have tried ti change baseband, kernel and ROM, unlocked via WONTAN and... nothing! Now I'm back to stock ICS and stuck with the same issue... :crying:
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Do you resolve this issue? Mine is happening excatly the same thing. Nothing seems to work @Gsantoz
Hi,
I have a locked phone and the unlocked code.
I put a new sim card in it for force to bring up the unlock screen, it says "new SIM detected, rebooting".
It reboots and asks me about my language settings and says "Please insert SIM card and restart your phone"
I installed several official Firmwares and rooted the phone for see if it makes a difference, but no, always the same behavior
Is the phone faulty? How can I find out?
Cheers

JDavi,
I have the SAME exact problem. I've tried multiple sim cards and the same message pops up. I think my z1 compact is defective. Sony has been nonhelpful. Did you send yours in for repair?
