He is probably relying on a service that will get the unlock code but I'm not aware of any that have unlock codes for the ion. Its exclusive to AT&T so I seriously doubt you can get it unlocked for at least a few months. You can't even buy one unlocked in the US for full price.

Yeah, more than likely it'll be pretty much a repeat of the x10a only (since a lot of the ground work done) quicker process. We'll all end up w sum variant of the stock sony rom(or any but att) w custom recovery. I was never able to do much of anything w the stock usa roms, come to think of it not even sure att saw GB, don't think so. eb

But my question is, how long before someone does? The bootloader being locked just bums me out. I really want this phone. And the price is making it really possible for me, but I almost feel like I should just wait even longer for something else, or pay the $200 for a GS III.
I really need to get my hands on the Ion. Has anyone gone into a BB or ATT store to get theirs and seen a demo unit?
I have ... the phone looks and feels great. i've read a few reports of signal issues. i think i'm going to wait a few weeks and get two one for me and one for my girl mid july for the price... and ics coming soon... it's a dopeass phone for sure. i loved the way it felt in my hand the screen is gorgeous. the camera was super fast too... idk it was nice.

This was the answer from the ebay seller:
" I can unlock the phone for $30 extra. It is a factory unlock and not through special ROMS which allows you to keep all stock Sony firmware. It is a permanent factory unlock."
I´m not from the US and I´m looking to buy either a Xperia S or Xperia Ion. As the Ion is newer, would like to go for it. I will be in the US by mid july but still looking to find for a good price for a non-contract and unlocked, but it seems that Ion will be higher anyway. If the unlocking would be a easy thing, I would by the no contract phone at Sony store for example, but it seems I will have to go for the Xperia S
I would be leary of anyone who promises they can unlock the BL at this point. Unfortunately there's absolutely no way of knowing for sure if and when this will happen for the att "unlock not allowed model". eb

From that eBay quote, sounds like he must be selling the international version of the ion(lt28i) not the AT&T ion(lt28at). That's the only way I can think of for the unlocked with Sony factory firmware settings.

The only thing is when you go to purchase it locked to Canada and Rogers so I can not sure about it.
The ion will be one hell of a device if we can just get passed the issue of unlocking for ATT :/ really wish i had an international one just so i can play with it. i really hate the bloat ware they are shipped with. all in all preformance and hardware wise i see the ion staying alive for a few years. longer than what the x10 did in my opinion.

Screw waiting on AT&T to do it... you can use the generic and not have to deal with AT&T's bull**** bloatware. Even if yours is a R800at instead of an R800a it'll work.
Me and my local Xperia PLAY'in partner crime have both done it, and it's been nothing but marvelous.
For an R800x user... ehh... not sure if there's such a lucky, easy solution (I'm not even sure how CDMA users would retain their activation info after a flash since they don't have the ease and freedom of a SIM card)
Oh. So Verizon hasn't released it yet. Thanks for the notification...
I agree, Forgot Verizons vanilla android, it does not give you the real experience of the Xperia play. Sony Ericsson Launcher is really nice too.

You can try and devise a free way to unlock the bootloader, but so far it hasn't been done. For now, in order to unlock the bootloader you need SETool credits which cost money.

How is it a rip off? You device is locked to AT&T and thus the price of the device was subsidised by the carrier meaning your device was cheaper, sony refuse to officially unlock the bootloader of carrier locked devices to protect the investment AT&T made in your device, if you don't want to incur extra costs in future, put your hand in your pocket and pay for a factory unlocked device and all the benefits that come with it.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
The fact I say its a rip, is because im coming from an atrix which I was able to unlock my atrix with.
How can I buy these credits myself rather than pay people on here?
And also, I did not know about the credits until now. Its why I originally asked, because I wanted to know where my money would be going.

SEtool only sell there credits in bundles, i think 60 is the minimum, thats why these bootloader unlockers offer this service, you can buy a single unlock licence for omnius, but omnius is much harder to use than SEtool, and you need a special cable to connect the testpoints as the battery needs to be inserted to use omnius, on the other hand all you need with SEtool is a paperclip.

I was wondering the same thing as OP til you said this, but i have another question/Comment on why. I Work for att and get a "Special" rate plan with no contract.
IE i dont get a discounted price with a two year contract. Although im sure the answer is the same since its through att, why dont i get mine for free, since i received no price cut.
Another reason is the person unlocking your bootloader has to sit individualy with every unlock run all the programs and do all the work and you really are complaining over $24 for simple and bootloader unlocked plus when I got mine done he answered every question I threw at him and never complained that's priceless Imo
if you don't want to pay don't get the service there are alternatives to root and recovery. Pay or don't but don't complain if you do.

Absolutley, I dont think anyone person in this thread is complaining about paying a person to do it. I think its more of, that Some HAVE to pay and some don't, which some one explained. If EVERYONE had to pay for there bootloader unlocking then i highly doubt anyone would complain. Get it?
Ahh... this thread answered my question. I was wondering the same thing, about why we have to pay, and how they get the unlock key. My new question however is.... So i pay and get SEtool, and pay to get 60 licenses or whatever the minimum is you have to get, is there a tutorial or anything to teach me how to do it myself? I dont mind paying to have it done by someone, I just love learning how to do these kinda things myself.
(mainly, i dont like relying on other people. Plus this way, if i brick my own phone, who cares, i did it, but if i pay some one, and they brick it then i would be pissed! In my opinion if you pay someone for a product and its damaged, they assume responsibility for it by charging you. It would be like, if you paid to have your car worked on by a mechanic, and he blew the head gasket in the process, would you be ok, with them telling you, its your fault for having the work done, and they arent liable?... HELL NO!..... lol)

The free way is at unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com. The specific criteria is you need to have a GSM model Play, which is not SIM locked to a carrier.
You cannot currently use this tool with the CDMA Play. For a time, we exploited a weakness in the tool's form validation to submit MEID's to the tool. This exploit was made public and has been fixed. If you want a more detailed explanation see my post here.
You cannot use this tool with a SIM locked (Carrier Locked) GSM Play, as the SIM lock prevents the phone from booting into fastboot mode. Without fastboot, you cannot issue the unlock command with the key generated by the tool.

Has anyone tried getting AT&T to unlock an off-contract xperia ion? I'd love to buy the phone, and $449 is an awesome price point (esp compared to the Galaxy Nexus at $350), but I'd really like to use it with T-mobile.
Google it some site selling unlock code for about $30 but don't buy it from unlockit dot com for $9.95 because they can't do it and will refund your money. Buy the phone on ebay cheaper for about $350 but if you use it on T-mobile then you only get "E" speed.

It might actually be better to wait for the acro S, which I believe Sony plans to sell unlocked?
Anyone have any idea how long it'll take for the acro S to get here?
I have unlocked few AT&T phones that I bought off-contract. Usually a phone call to their customer service works. But some reps might not be helpful - so you should save your receipt and email AT&T for the unlock code.
They won't give you an unlock code for the ion because it is exclusive to AT&T in the US. It will take a few months before they give it out.
Well, I had no problem with getting the unlock code from AT&T for their exclusive phones (X10, Play). I just had to tell them I'm gonna pay the whole off-contract price and I need to use it overseas (which was actually my case). I always call them first to check the availability of the unlock code - then I go buy it
Even if the phone is purchased full MSRP without subsidization they will not give you the unlock code for the Ion...

Nope. Notice how even on Sony's online store they don't sell it unlocked. That's due to the agreement with AT&T. If you want it unlocked you have to buy the international version from out of the US.

Myself and another person have tried worldGSMcodes.com, cellphoneunlock.net and mobile gadgets co/Unlockitnow.com no luck. Cellcorner I did not try but have read alot of reviews. The reviews were dominantly not favourable.Keep in mind there description speaks of a joystick which we haven't seen on sony ericssons for quite a long time. Ive contacted cellunlocker.net and they can't do it either. I've tried the more expensive factory sony factory unlock options with these websites and they refunded me. Right now all we can do is wait for the exclusive agreement to end in the USA.

Which LT28 do you have? AT&T or Rogers?
I found my xperia ion on e-bay and it is locked.
1.st question: Can be unlocked with code and use it in Europe gsm network?
2nd. question: If i unlock bootloader, and root, and instal some international custom rom will i unlock network?
1. Yes but good luck getting a code right now as AT&T isn't giving them out.
2. Unlocking bootloader doesn't unlock network (at least not officially) and flashing an international rom has no effect on similar lock status or not.
You'd have to try some of the unlocking services around. There is a thread about unlocking already on the ion forums here at xda. Look at that thread for info.

1. Yes but good luck getting a code right now as AT&T isn't giving them out.
2. Unlocking bootloader doesn't unlock network (at least not officially) and flashing an international rom has no effect on similar lock status or not.
You'd have to try some of the unlocking services around. There is a thread about unlocking already on the ion forums here at xda. Look at that thread for info.

HI
I bought( On my Birthday !) a Unlocked At&t Ion in S.korea from a guy who bought two of those from US.
I guess he was in US army ( this is around 1st Aug or late July thing). If it helped him to get a unlock . So looks like as of now At&t is unlocking it .. :good:
Anyways i am happy to get a Unlocked ionthat too in the land of Samsung ! I have flashed a stock rom Lt28H.. It works amazing on ICS ..

I bought an used AT&T Ion in Canada from Kijiji and I'm stuck with it. The guy who sold me the phone knew it cannot be unlock but too bad I didn't do a research before I paid him my hard earned money. And I dont want to sell and scam people around saying this can be unlocked. Hopefully it will be possible in the future and then I will either sell it or give it to my budy.

Ebay selling unlock code for Xperia ion Canada... not boot loader unlock
So how long before the attached version can be unlocked
ATT isnt giving out codes yet but has anyone had luck sim unlocking a Rogers canadian ION on these forums?
If so i would like to know where they got the codes, a lot of shady sites saying they have them but dont want to give out the cash to just anyone.
Yo broskis!! My bud is looking for a good phone. Can I get an unlock code for one of these yet through ATT or can I buy one online, and if so, from where? Looking to use it on straight talk. Let me know ASAP. Sexy azz phone btw.

From the unlock thread for the simply Sony can unlock it if you email them from what I've read. Some got it some didn't best bet is to read that thread understand what you need to say then get the phone try it if you cannot get it return it you have 30 days

The best thing I would suggest is to find a LT28i seeing as it hast the LTE radio and is carrier unlocked. Not cheap but seems to be the only real way. Very few have managed to get the ATT unlocked if at all. May change in the future though.
