Hi, iam new to all this but can some one please help me whith unlocking and rooting my sony arc lt15a. I live in australia the phone is not locked to any carrier i bought it from the usa becuase it had the umts 850 frequencie for the telstra carrier here. My reasons for unlocking are to get rid of all the sony things and some preinstalled apps and have access to other things. If you put generic software on there what are the differences also can you tell me will any thing be diiferent to not rooting. Thank you.

Hello newbie here! Purchased my first android phone, yay, Sony Xperia X10i but locked to the Three network in Uk, not so yay. I know question has been asked many times before, but I want to go down the code unlocking route as opposed to flashing firmware. Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on a SIM unlock code for the handset?
Thanks in advance
i havent tryed but use it http: // ww w.ultimateunlocker .co .uk
Hi there
I recently purchase a Xperia Arc from Bouygues Telecom in France.
I tried to unlock the bootloader using Sony Ericsson method at unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com
But when i type *#*#7378423#*#* to show configuration it says "Bootloader unlock allowed : No "
So it looks like i'm a little stuck.
Do i need seTools ?
Do you think this works : phoneunlockserver.com/product_info.php/products_id/1684
Does this thread really works ?:
se-board.com/index.php/topic/2023-paid-xperia-2011-bootloader-unlock-here
Sorry for the links but Xda doesn't want me to post them as Url cause they consider me as being a newbie ....
Anyway , I have no problem paying for this phone to be unlocked. Actually Bouygues Telecom ROM has some limitations comparing to the stock one i think ( some apps are not available on the market like Google Music for example).
I just want to know what is the best and most secure method
Thank you
Hello There!
Is there a way to remove the network lock from Sony Ericsson LT15i - XPERIA ARC , with Android 2.3.2 and BuildNr: 3.0.A.2.184 ?
Hope it is possible without purchasing unlock code for 70 EUR.
Greetings from austria,

I believe the only way is by purchasing an unlock code and using that. I also own this phone, it is locked to rogers but I use Telus so I thought about unlocking but I came to the conclusion that I need an unlock pin for my imei and started using the device as an MP3 player.
I've read some of the other forums and I am still not clear on this.
My questions is would installing r800a firmware on my r800at make it available to work beyond just on the att network. The bootloader is unlocked (via payed xda member) and I am selling my phone on ebay....I would prefer it to be "as open" as possible when I sells.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I've googeled several forums and articles about free solutions to network unlock Xperia Smartphones, all I could get is bootloader unlock!
Now my phone is successfully bootloader unlocked, thank's to flash tool and s1tool, My question is :
"IS THERE ANY FREE WAY TO UNLOCK SONY XPERIA X8 USING ONLY USB CABLE? I MEAN WITHOUT DONGLES OR BOX OR EVEN BUYING CREDITS FROM WEBSITES?"
I could unlock All Samsung Galaxy smartphones with only root permissions, busybox and few light Apk's , is it the same with Xperia X8 or should I buy a network unlock?? I'm ready to do all the necessary manipulations if prompted..
Thanks in advance!
