Hello, everyone.
I've tried to read a little bit around and try to learn on how to SIM unlock the XPeria S Arc, but it's a bit confusing with all the kernel, root, unlock, relock terms used, and tutorials.
I just want to unlock it to accept another carrier.
Android Version is 4.0.4.
Kernel is 2.6.32.9-perf
Compilation number is: 4.1.B.0.587
I also have SETool and try it, even with Test Point, but i think i probably have to root it first.
So, can anyone enlight me on wich tutorial should i follow?
Thanks.

Well my friend, you are confused. That's for sure. SIM unlock doesn't have nothing to do with kernel, root, and another things. My advise is to read the things slowly and try to understand.
As far as I know to SIM unlock an LT18i you need to pay for the service. There are a lot of providers that are giving the code to unlock for about 20€. And you don't need to do nothing to the phone.
So, ... , good luck.

Hi
I see somethere about using setool1 or setool2 depending on service code Yes or No ... Maybe a video but also I read that the only way to unlock my Sony Ericsson LT18i is to pay to have a code. I think also we must use test points...
Can you PLEASE give me here or on pm a good site to pay the right (about 20€ as you said before) better via paypal that is NOT A FAKE SITE....
My Carrier is VODAFONE ITALY
Thanks a lot in advance for any possible solution and answer.

Like others new Threads...and newbies...read some posts on XDA before asking.
Answer: it is actually not possible to SIM unlock HTC Artemis, P3300 from the operator you buy it.
1° there are some links on the web where you can buy an unlock code for SIM unlocking P3300.
2° Ask your operator if it is possible to give you the unlock code.
3° If you got some skills on programming this device, help community to find an unlock sequence for it.
I hope this answer will be for you and any futur (in two days) questions about that very usefull.

Hi, I need to unlock a T-Mobile DHD that I've just bought. I have read the previous posts on here, but I'm wondering if paying 15 Euro for a manufacturer unlock code from htccodes.com would be the least hassle way to SIM unlock my DHD?
Still not quite sure of the alternative. Which part of the process removes the SIM lock; flashing the radio? If I pay for a manufacturer code, I take it that installing a custom ROM wont enable the SIM lock back?
Sorry for the dumb questions. Thanks.
Use my radio tool (link in sig). It can SimUnlock your phone, for free
If you do the simunlock, it will stick, nothing will lock your phone again.
@jkoljo Thanks very much. I'm actually getting the phone tomorrow, so I'll give it a go and no doubt be back on here asking more questions
So the S-OFF tool sim unlock the phone in the process, or is this like a separate feature? I will be getting a Orange UK locked DHD soon!
You can choose to do Radio S-OFF, SuperCID and Sim unlock all at once, but the tool can also do just Sim Unlock.
Once you know what your doing, it takes 10 minutes max using the tools mentioned above.
SimUnlock
I want to unlock my Desire HD, but do as little 'messing-about' with the stock firmware as possible (i.e rooting, custom roms etc.). Would following your guide and just selecting 'SimUnlock' leave me with a ordinary DHD? (Except for the fact it would be unlocked haha)
Sorry if this is a silly question, I am a total newbie to this kind of thing.

If you call your carrier and tell them you're travelling overseas, they still charge you to unlock your device?

Hello there,
For the past few days I have been browsing through the XDA pages but was not able to locate the necessary information. May be I was looking under the wrong terms or key words.
Anyways, I have switched from iPhone to HTC Desire HD. I got it second hand and it has no SiM card. Basically, when I insert my uSiM it shows emergency call screen only.
I was browsing through XDA and as far as I got it I first need to activate the phone with the necessary sim card in order to unlock the phone. Is there possibility to `hactivate` the phone with no original sim.
And can you people help me to locate necessary information on the site?
Thanks a ton in advance!
Peace,
Anyone know how to unlock the network form this phone?

It has been a while since the last post. Did anyone figure out how to unlock this device?
I used this website
http://www.mobileunlocked.co.uk/

Has anyone found a working and free solution for our Galaxy yet?

Any update on free unlocking this phone ?
Unlocking GT-8150
I'm about to start working on a method to discover the unlock key. Not sure how long it will take, but once I figure it out, I might try and automate the process - for whatever reason, rooting, modding, romming and installing custom kernels on this model has a heap of mis information (or lack there of) and has been quite a headache for me.
Last thing I need to do is unlock it from network... hopefully not a massive hurdle.
I'll write a super noob friendly guide for this model from rooting to romming and include my network unlock method once I've figured it out. Hang tight.

I'm new here on the forum and would like to help.
I have a Xperia Play R800X CDMA, I live in Brazil and would like to use a SIM card, is there a way to unlock it, knowing that my Xperia lacks EMEI, but MEID.
I await a help, because I would use it as a phone too.
Thank you.

If it says that you are not allowed to unlock the bootloader I'm afraid there is no way to unlock it.

Your point is what. We are now in the territory of spoon feeding which is something I don't do, read the information at the links, read it again then again after that if you still haven't grasped the information.

I read everything but i just dont know what i should do , i see threads talking about wotanserver others SEtools omnius and others, all i want is install a costum rom , i bought this xperia because he has a lot of people working on in and now a cant unlock the booltloader so i cant do anything with him.
thanks
I found the most reliable way of unlocking bootloader has been setools and the test point method.
I am on 3 and have had the SIM unlocked ( phone was originally on t-mobile) and bootloader unlocked.
Search for user jinx13 he offers this service remotely.

Pay attention the Frequently Asked Questions.
Sony will allow you to unlock bootloader but be aware that it voids warranty. Works the same way as wootanserver but it's direct from the Sony website.
