is there ANY way that xperia arc s newer then 12w19 can be sim unlocked??
Purchasing code or..??

Atm no, I think.

If you're not locked to any carrier, I don't see any reason why not.
Have you tried the official Sony unlock method? Your other option is via the testpoint method.

My bad, I didn't wrote sim locked..
It's carrier locked, and sim-lock is there for 24 months, the problem is I bought it in another country and in my country that carrier doesn't exist..
So the question is edited, can it be sim-unlocked (bootloader is irrelevant)
Then you'll need to use the Testpoint method. Contact Jinx13 or Alejandrissimo. They should be able to unlock it for you remotely for a small fee. Or use Omnius (again Paid).
And no, there's no free method to unlock your phone. But trust me, it's worth it.
Hope that helped. Cheers!
I already did contact jinx and he told me that if it's 12w14 or newer he can't unlock it :S
I'm not looking for a free method, I'm looking for a working method...
Off topic: Is it worth upgrading to ICS?
Damn, then you may be out of luck. Do ask around though.
And upgrading to ICS. Well, I have upgraded to the Generic Global World 4.0.4 and I must say I like it. My only issue is that my touchscreen isn't AS responsive as it was on GB.
There are others who couldn't/can't stand ICS and reverted back to GB after a few days with ICS. They felt that it lagged too much compared to GB etc etc.
To each his own. But I like ICS; that's just my opinion.
Cheers!
is there ANY other way?
is there anyone that has Emma and a working account and can remove the sim lock?
Also can these pay sites unlock it?
maybe fastgsm
I was looking for the exact same thing and found that fastgsm.com can unlock it with network codes.
It seems that we cannot currently unlock this phone model with our data cable method if the manufacturing date is later than 12W13, please contact [email protected] and ask for a refund. It would be possible to unlock this phone via Network codes, if there are unlock attempts left, for $59.99.

Good day to everyone and sorry to revive this thread, but i didn't want to ask a question that's been asked before so while searching the forums for cellunlocker.net i found this thread.
Is there anybody out there who got their arc S(new security manufacturing date 12w26) unlocked by purchasing the code via IMEI method for 39,99$?

Hi all!
Has anybody successfully bootloader unlocked the phone? I have lt18, with unlock allowed no, and 12w30 bootloader. I searched a lot, and i found that i can unlock by NCK code, then i can unlock bootloader with flashtool or SE method. Can anybody confirm this??

There is no known solution for disabled fastboot cases yet (Bootloader unlock allowed: No), as phones manufactured after 12W11 have enchanced type of security, for which there is no exploit yet.

It might remove the SIM-lock (I am not sure, which code you mean right now), but it will not enable fastboot and will not allow bootloader to be unlocked.

Would you at least bother mentioning your methods for this? Considering you haven't been around on this forum for long, I doubt any of your methods actually unlocks the bootloader.

Hi,
Thanks, i see there: http://www.fastgsm.com/en/sonyerics...-unlock-codes/network-unlock/flashing-debrand
Unlock codes. I read a lot, and i figured out that Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No means that fastboot disabled due to simlock..so if there's no simlock on the phone, the no changes to YES, so can unlock simply..If unlock allowed YES, then everyone successfully unlocked the bootloader in this forums. Am i wrong somewhere?

It does remove the SIM-lock, but fastboot is still disabled. Removing the SIM-lock does not activate fastboot nor does it change Bootloader Unlock Allowed to Yes.

Hi everyone, yesterday I bought Arc S and it is sim locked.
My question is: If I root it or even unlock its bootloader put custom rom, kernel, etc., will this become problem for the unlocking the network? I will get my arc s to a service so i don't want to have problems.
P.S. on Service info/configuration it says: BL unlock allowed: No .... So if my network is unlocked will i be able to unlock the BL?

I'm really interested if someone with simlock can get access to the bootloder without paying for unlock service. I look several days in the internet and didn't find a way for that

Hi all-
I have a r800at that is produced 12w20, which according to the unlock bootloader community there is no way to unlock the bootloader to this device, not even using the testpoint method.
I really want to install custom roms on my device, I am on the AT&T network. Any recommendations on where I should purchase a new/used device that has this capability ? I am thinking just ebay but I don't know if there are any other resellers I should be looking for
Thanks

Well try flashing a r800i firmware and use the bootloader unlock method in flashtool. I have an r800at with an unlocked bootloader but I don't specifically know what I did. If my method doesn't work pm me and I'll tell you what I did since I got my play and maybe that'll work. Thank you

Sometimes you cant enter the ServiceMenu.apk on certain roms. However, Did you try on Sony's site anyway ? Just remember you dont add the last digit on the Imei, only the first 14 I believe. And the Testpoint method works even without the bootloader saying unlockable under the service menu.
OP did you ever succeed in unlocking your bootloader?
My phone is manufactured in 12W22, is there ANY way to unlock the bootloader? It's a carrier branded phone (got it as a gift)
It is unlockable but you need to remove the carrier branding first.

Any Arc manufactured after 12W11 will have a bootloader that cannot be unlocked. You can try wotanserver for the debranding but not sure if you can unlock your bootloader.

Mine's LT18a 12W15, perfectly unlocked and running JB so.. I'd tell him to give it a shot.
Of course, that number could be just a rumor, no harm trying it.

Hi mine is an Arc is network unlock as its an orange one and I'm using Vodafone. The numbers on it are 11W12 and I filled the thing in on Sony boot loader site and they've sent me a code.
I've rooted it already but it says in the service menu it says the bootloader can't be unlocked.
Mines an LT15i but it now says its Lt18i
What's right can it be unlocked or not?

I understand you came from Samsung... I also used Samsung myself back then and experimented with the root and everything.
Rooted a S3 back then which had the "recovery-from-boot.p" script that did not allow me to flash CWM recovery on it.

Wrong, official method still works for non-SIM locked phones. Branding has no effect at all.

As I already said, it does not matter, if phone has branded firmware or not. It has nothing to do with bootloader unlocking.
If the fastboot is disabled, then you can not do anything. This mostly occurs, when phone is SIM-locked.
If the fastboot is enabled, then you can use official method at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com.
To see, if fastboot is enabled or disabled, just try entering it - Turn off the phone, hold down Menu button, connect USB cable. If blue LED lights up and stays on, fastboot is enabled and you can use the official method.

I can't enter fastboot, my phone is sim-locked. I think that I could get the unlock code from my carrier, would that make any difference?

Unfortunately, no. This does still not enable fastboot. Fastboot can be enabled only via test point method, but due to newer security systems, this is not possible on phones manufactured after 12W11.
So, unfortunately, you are one of the unlucky ones, who have to deal with locked bootloader. For now. Until a method is found, that can bypass the newer security standards.
I just purchased one LT28AT(Sony Ion) from ebay and the seller unlocked it from AT&T for me. Now I am a T-mobile user. Since this phone is still running ICS, I have been trying to install CM11 on it but no luck. I was told that I need to root the phone first and then you are able to install a CM11 rom. I searched all threads here and googled related report. It seems no way to unlock this phone. However, I did see some people installed CM11 on their LT28AT and they also uploaded the videos on Youtube.
Any suggestion or feedback would be appreciated.

Even though Your phone is sim unlocked, You need to check if the bootloader is unlock able, then only You can install cm11. Google how to check if bootloader is unlock able.
