1) Which device do you have? R800i? R800x or any other? Cause you can unlock bootloader for free if you are on R800i and here is how you do it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034371
2) Yes Sony repair centre can pretty much fix any problem bro. If you didn't break it and you were doing everything the legit and legal method i.e. OTA then they will fix it for you for free if it's still under warranty. If not under warranty or you broke it then they may charge a fee but they can fix it. Even they couldn't they will replace it for free IF UNDER WARRANTY and COMPLY with it as I saiid earlier.
3) Can you tell me a little more specific of what your problem is and how it happened?
Thank's arian009
I'll send it to Service centre
My phone model R800i
i don't know is under warranty or not. cuz, before this happen, i already unlock bootloader, root, and instal custom rom.
a month ago, my brother want this phone, i decide to flash with old firmware i had before. and then he update OTA, and become brick, so i flash with simlock.ta and preset.ta according to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056094. and my mistake, i don't read whole page. I think is not hardware failure.
Now, i can use my Xperia Play except to make call/texting, because it can't detect any sim card. (error message when i try to register network "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network")
and again, sorry for my bad english, i use google translate to help me

Have you tried flashing a FTF file? It has to be done through flash tool and it basically makes everthing the way it used to! look
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589399
In here there are many firmware that could potentially fix your phone! I mean give it a try because based what you said you have unlocked bootloader and flashed custom firmware before. Hate to break it to you but you are likely to be charged a sum of money ya know
I also have the same error with my x10i... everything done bl unlocked... rooted... but wont read any sim card. Tells me sim missing... and your sim wont allow a connection to this network. South Africa.

Just look around for the proper base bands for your phone then flash them in flash tool and you should have radios again and BTW I think FMA has a thread about it

Really don't know exactly what it does, but generally you don't include this file when you bundle a rom with flashtool, so no harm.

how do i unlock it? That's the whole point of me posting about this.
After i unlock my bootloader, i face this issue. but flashing finished successfully. Sometime it may be a DRM key related item.
Dont flash that file. its simlock data and if you flash it on a phone with different imei then you will kill the phone without any way other than sony service center to fix it.
Don't worry about that, i always get that warning and there was no problem.

I've read this 'simlock.ta' thread with some interest because I have a similar issue myself.. Might you have any suggestions?
In short, my Xperia (Ray) refuses to read my SIM card. In fact, it doesn't even ask me for my PIN number, it just boots as normal but I have no connection to any network. I've tried using the SIM card in another phone and it works fine, therefore the problem is with the phone itself.
I'd recently had my phone network & bootloader unlocked by wotanserver using the test point method - because of this I thought the DRM keys would be fine (e.g. TrackId & Timescape still worked). However, when I was updating from GB .42 to .62 OTA (to flash a GB ROM) my phone bricked! So, I ended up using s1tool to restore the locked bootloader. Then I used flashtool to flash a stock ICS ftf file. It seemed to work (the phone rebooted) but it was then I noticed that the SIM card wasn't being recognised. Also, in the Flashtool log I noticed that a blue line was there saying 'this file is ignored simlock.ta'.
Hard resets & updating with Sony Update Service isn't working and I'm really confused at this stage.
Is my phone screwed for good?

Did you find a solution for your problem?
In reality, I have the same problem with an xperia j (ST26i) , with some differences:
Initial Problem:
- The mobile belongs to my cousin, she updated it with the sony update center to the latest version (JB 4.1.2) and there: problem with the wifi when the sim.
- I got the mobile, and downgrade to the 4.0.4 version, I've tried 4 different versions:
-> ST26i_11.0.A.3.18_Global
-> ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE
-> ST26i_11.0.A.3.28_WE
-> St26i_4.0.4_11.0.A.3.28_CE3
I had always the problem with the wifi when the sim plugged.
Finally I've tried also the UNOFFICIAL CM 10, with no success
- I found a solution with the apk wifix manager witch worked with the 28 WE version of the firmware.
But I've continued to search an other solution, and I've remarked that when I flash the rom I always get the Warn: "This file is ignored : simlock.ta "
After some research I get an advice by a member of XDA to rename the file as "preset.ta", AND THERE, it works no warning ... BUT the sim is blocked (not locked) and I have always the message (invalid card).
I've tried to reflash the firmware many times, to relock the bootloader (with appropriate ftf proposed in this forum ), Tried to use the sony update service .. But I have always the same problem (INVALID CARD)
I've also tried to format everything with CWM (system,card,cache) and made a sdcard partition, and NO way.
So, can any body help me with that please?!
Note : I'm in the middle east zone, some suggestions in the web talk about re-installing the official O2 rom, but I've searched this ROM with no success.

I have this error on XPERIA SP C5303 trying to flash 12.0.A.1.284 on top of 12.0.A.1.257. But my phone is SIM Locked and I know it. And I thought that rewriting simlock.ta from unlocked firmware unlock the phone as well. But flashtool skipping that file. It's really annoying !!! Don't know what to do to unlock it now

You should be happy it isn't flashing. FLASHING SOMEONE ELSE'S TA MAY HARD-BRICK YOUR DEVICE. In this state, I've heard even sony need to replace entire motherboard.
well i have sony tipo dual st21i2 android phone and i have same problem with device my phone is dual sim phone and both sim are work well some time ago but when itry to update firmware using flash tool and than i see the 2nd sim is working stopped suddenly and sim 1 is working good and if i put only sim 2 in the phone its also working good and if sim 1 ony present in phone its good working also ,,,,,,,but problem start when i put both sim inside the phone and than i try different type of firmwares but no success bootloder unlock and relocked also but no result but my doubt is there i try a secret code and if this code is cause the problem in my phone *#*#7378423#*#* so if any one have idea to solve my problem please share here
Hi community, as I stated on the title, im having a little problem here with the current 4.3 upgrade on my Note II.
Thing is I upgraded via Odin to 4.3 version; still, my provider service doesnt have the 4,3 upgrade, its only been released to free from fabric phones in my country.(downloaded from sammobile). Shouldnt have been an issue, but after i made the upgrade, my network got blocked. I ve read a lot of threads concerning this issue but still couldnt find a solution.
A link to possible answers would be super appreciated, or something.
Thnx in advance ! Hope i find a way to solve, have EFS saved in pc.
btw IMEI isnt wrong, its not a generic one.
It says : Service State : out of service
My phone number: Unknown
Rest of data seems fine...
Another thing is I sim unlocked the phone when it was at 4.1 to be able to use Movistar on it (via Galaxy S unlock worked) After upgrade network got locked again and asks for simlock code, tried with unlocker again and this time had no luck.. I dont know if the problem here its only that the sim unlock got locked again after the upgrade or what..EDIT: I cant use any of my chips, all of them throw "not registered..etcetc" msg... However this didnt happen when it was at 4.1
EDIT ONCE MORE: I ve been reading around, and seems there is no current way to unlock sim for all companies for note 2 at 4.3 ? Is this correct ? This is frustrating ._.
sry about the double post, anyone can confirm this last thing to me ? Is it correct there is no current way to unlock sim for all companies at 4.3 stage?

I have the same problem, and i found 2 ways to do it :
-either buy an unlock code ( about 25$)
-or downgrade ( if it's possible to 4.1.1, and use the classical way ( with samsung Code)
i hope that someone will suggest another way to do it
@julesarg, have you tried the patched kernel and modem from this thread?

Hello, i have an xperia play which is R800i, it's bootloader unlocked, and should be network unlocked, if i go in that option with brackets like [] Network etc they are all with empty brackets and 0, according to some pages its fully unlocked, but still, i cannot get it to work, i've made several baseband changes, roms, etc,
what could be the problem of the phone? i bought it from someone that i usually buy stuff off, so i "shuld" be sure its not imei locked, but then, even if it was imei locked, would i be able to set a PINfor the SIM card? is there a way to check if there's a SIM card inserted in the phone from android? because i feel like it doesn't read my sim at all.
Please suggestions are welcome i tried everything, thank you
i can pay for a solution if its 100% working

I'm 100% sure having a locked boot loader makes accessing fast boot impossible? If you can still flash FTF find one for an ICS Rom and see if that fixes it

I'm pretty sure the GSM attenna is on the top left on the opposite of side of the power button, have you dropped it recently?
Just occurred to me now, call your service provider and see if the 3G tower in your area is undergoing maintenance

Won't you mind if I join this thread?
I've got r800i unlocked from aliexpress which was working fine but had non-working touch-sticks.
So I tried to flash newer firmware (.79) and end up with 'no service' problem.
Like OP I have "[] Network 0" so it's definitley not become locked but it doesn't see my provider.
The funny thing is that it does see one of the local providers but only one of three.
Tried different ftf's, currently on R800i_4.0.2.A.0.84_Vodafone DE_(1247-8566).
The only thing I know from the original firmware (from flashtool) is:
Current device : R800i - CB5A1D6HYX - 1247-6268_R8D - 1245-8821_4.0.2.A.0.42 - WORLD-1-8_4.0.2.A.0.42
As I understand this one had Meteor IE baseband.
Is this problem has something with firmware or could it be antenna/hardware problem?

I had problem with "no service" after flash FTF, so the idea its baseband related, I try flash another one, and with R800i_-80_Baseband_GSM.ftf I have success, i have carrier again. maybe help someone

Thanks bro, but I sent the faulty device back to China. That's was the first idea - to change basebands, but that didn't help either in my case.
Hi all,
I would like to start off by saying that i dont care about any warranty or any such issues. I had bought a S4 in US which i brought to India without ever activating on T Mobile network. This means that on contacting T Mobile, they are unable to send me any activation code which could SIM Unlock my device.
So now my only problem is to make my device usable. I see two options:
a) SIM Unlock
b) Complete removal of firmware and install some custom ROM, bootloader and other components to get rid of T mobile network
Problem is that i am a newbie and couldnt find any thread that could help me. MY device is updated to the latest version i.e. i am on 4.4.2 with baseband as M919UVUF9B4 and knox bootloader
Can someone help me out. I have already tried rooting the device and trying some apps which suggested that would help me unlock my device but none of them worked..
Thanks

If you paid T-Mobile the full price for the phone approx US$500-US$600 (not the subsidized price) before you left, they should provide you with the SIM Unlock code. You may need to talk with another customer service agent. However, if you only paid the subsidized price, then you've broken the contract with them, and they won't. You'll have to contact a company that will sell you an unlock code.
As to rooting the phone, have you tried this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005 ?
If this doesn't work, you're doing it wrong.

Flashing a custom rom will not allow it to work on a different network. The phone will still be sim locked.
Like the post above me says, call T Mobile and have them give you the code. If you didn't pay the phone off, they won't give it to you nor should they.
Chainfire's Region Lockaway app will SIM unlock in the process of removing region restrictions. I remember reading something to that effect anyway.
For use chainfire's Region Unlock, you must be root.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
@Skipjacks & rlichtefeld: I have already tried calling T Mobile and they are not ready to provide me any unlock code since the phone was never used on the network. Yes, its paid in full but i am in India now and cannot do much from back here to fight with them.
Have already tried chainfire's Region Unlock but its unusable on 4.4.2.
Please suggest the ways in which i can unlock my phone which is on 4.4.2 with baseband as M919UVUF9B4 and knox bootloader and i request you to please do not assume that phone is blacklisted or the warranty be void. i just want my phone to work here and that's it.

id suggest you find a website that unlocks phones, it usually costs less than 10 bucks or probably like 500 or so rupees but it should save you a lot of headaches

@no_username_available: Can you point to some unlocking websites that cost around 10 bucks like you mentioned?

I got a z2 play today and right after the first start it turned off and this message started appearing (it's the same than on my g4 plus that has unlocked bootloader but the Z obviously doesn't
I'm from brazil
Do I need to get my phone replaced?
or is there any fix I can do myself?
Obviously this is reason for concern and but let me put a positive spin on this ...
Let's assume you got a new device (not refurbished / used), and the device is working just fine. This could be actually good news. Because that message usually shows up after unlocking the bootloader. Unfortunately unlocking normally cancels your warranty. You can only unlock the phone by requesting a special unlock code from Motorola. This way Motorola can easily check whether you unlocked your phone and decline (warranty) service. But since you have never done that, you might have an bootloader unlocked phone with warranty.
> or is there any fix I can do myself?
You could research "fastboot oem lock" but if the above is true, there will not be any advantage whatsoever to do that.
I faced the same issue
after normal use ,no root or unlock bootloader
my phone crashing frequently
and after reboot I Received that error
and I can't update anything via OTA
I started a topic at Lenovo Forum
an Expert suggest me to return it to vendor
so I return it the vendor yesterday
now I hope for a full refund.

I fixed it myself by installing the stock room via abd fastboot, if anyone is facing this problem, my phone is working normal and the message is gone so I bet I got a fix.
