Is there a way to reset a permanently network locked phone? Got a used phone and I guess the previous owner tried to sim unlock without success and now that I tried to unlock it it tells me that "This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked." I would really appreciate any response.

Dear all,
I am looking for some help with my Artemetis.
It is locked to the network; T-Mobile.
I am trying to unlock my phone to work with an Orange(UK).
I have tried to flash my phone with uspl, but still does not work?
It would be greatly appreciated if somebody could kindly help me out or direct me to a link which advises on how to unlock T-mobile successfully.
Much regards

USPL does a CID unlock (means that you can flash a different ROM onto your phone, removes model checks etc)
What you need is to go to www.imei-check.co.uk or find a similar service. There is currently no way or removing the network lock for free.

Unfortunately, permanently locked means PERMANENTLY locked.
As far as I know there is no way to reset it.

I'll bet he bought the phone used, and someone who didn't realize that entering a code too many times locks the phone did just that, and he's kind of screwed now
right
yes, u'll right

Your best bet is to sell the phone, but specify that it's locked to whichever company its locked to (don't do what whoever you bought it from did to you!), OR change carriers. Based on your English I'm worried that you might not have that option though.

Hi,
First off sorry for any reposts is didnt know what else to do after reading forum posts for hours and hours.
So heres the Crack. I'm tring to flash CM 9 onto my SE Xperia Arc (LT15i) and so far here is what i have done.
dialed *#*#7378423#*#* and found my phone is BOOTLOCKER ENABLED=NO
Asked o2 for a Sim Unlock Code
Entered that unlock code sucssesfuly
re dialed the num in point one to find that is sill says no
tried putting into fastboot anyway (as suggested by users in another post)
I'm other things i did where email and ring o2 both gave me no help and email sony mobile and recive no reply after now a week and a half
does anyone have any tips on turning the boot loader to say yes as that is my only hurdle to rooting this phone, i believe it is possible as i read a page on the sony forums sayinf a spansih comanpy called movistar was offering it for there customers however i then though one last ditch attempt with o2 on there forums where the customer service lady flatout refuses knowlage of a bootloader.
in summery a) sorry for rambling a little b) is it even possible by any means to change the UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: NO to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: YES. and if so how?? c) sorry again if this is a duplicate post i didnt know what else to do at this stage.
If the SIM unlock was successful you should be able to unlock your bootloader. Just follow the steps here:

And please post your questions in the Q&A section next time...

Actually no. Just removing the SIM-lock does not enable fastboot (and does not change Bootloader Unlock Allowed, it still stays on No).
The only way to unlock bootloader is by using test point method, if your phone is manufactured before 12W11 (11th week of 2012). You can check it under the battery. If your phone is manufactured after 12W11, then you can not unlock your bootloader and can only use stock-based ROMs.
There is no known solution to this at the moment and due to lack of interest by developers, it is highly unlikely someone will work on it.
It seems like i found the solution.
you have to pay £10 via paypal on phoneunlockserver(dot)com
and he will log on to you computer via himatchi and you put your tweezers on the test point (for the arc its under the sim card) and then plug into the usb and he flashes a kernal or something.
i havn't tried this out yet but if anyone has please let me know how it went

This is called the test point method. It only works on phones manufactured before 12W11.

oh okay thats wallright then mines an 11W18
No need to remove SIM-lock, just find the guide to unlock bootloader via test point method using S1Tool. Follow the guide and it should work.
You can do it pretty much by yourself, no need to pay, if I remember correctly.
Hey, there is any chance that when I change my android from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2 my phone to be sim locked again? Now my phone is unlocked but I have to Ideea how the was unlocked and I wonder if my phone will be locked again when I change my rom. The problem is that when I dial 2945#*975# and I choose network lock it says "this phone is permanently locked and it can not be unlocked" so I dont know what to do, I am afraid that when I do change the android my phone will become permanently locked.
If someone can expalin me it would be great. Sorry for my bad english.
The same is written on my phone, and it's fully unlocked so don't worry.
So I can put kitkat with flash tool and kdz without problem?
