Hello to all,
I bought in japan a beautiful SX Sony Xperia SO-05D (model TM28), just saw I'm loving it
on some forums before buying it said that I could use it with sim Italian, but not having a microsim below I could not test it in the store at the time of the problem is that it is obviously locked to the operator NTT-Docomo, it asks me to boot the SIM network unlock PIN ...:crying:
I tried looking at some posts here and a lot of damage as a solution to check on the Omnius site, the problem is that there is not listed on my model (which is quite recent: it is released in September), I sent him an email to see if is there any software release x my model, but I have not replied ...
Instead some web site told me to try between 3/4 weeks. then with about € 30 send me the code if available (we will have to trust ...?)
can anyone help me? maybe there is some common software unlock for sony mobiles...?
1000 Thanks to all!!
ale
P.S. I tried to check if it was hardlocked, next to the voice network does not give me the number of times missing and it says "Network unlimited" would mean that I can make as many attempts I want...?
Dear Member......
after waiting 7days time, i unlocked customer phone today in gsmfather.com...........
the phone was network unlimited, before entering code......
I have the same problem, Does anyone know if it's possible to unlock i for free, or have any recommended sites that can get you an unlock code?

I Ordered MDAIII from T-Mobile , I didnt get yet but can some one help me with unlocking this phone . Is it posible to unlock this phone to use other GSM Networks. Will unlocking of extended ROM do the trick which I found in some other topic in this forum .
10x in advanced
Should come unlocked but it will be in German.
I got the MDAIII on T-Mobile in the UK and had to pay £15 for them to give me an unlock code.
AAARGGHHHH! - Unlocking T-Mobile (UK) MDA III Sim
Bought this device earlier this month. Can anyone help provide the unlocking sequence cause T-Mobile certainly can't! They say they can provide the unlocking code (eventually) but not the sequence, and to get it I have to contact the device manufacturer! I`m travelling to the USA in 1 weeks time and want to use a T-Mobile USA SIM card whilst there. :x
What do you mean by sequence.
T-Mobile gave me an unlock code - I put my O2 SIM card into the MDAIII and it asked for the unlock code - I entered it. It is now unlocked and works with my O2 SIM
Hmmm, never having unlocked a SIM card before I am going by T-Mobile's advice that there is a specific sequence of key stroke entries that need to be followed before I get to the screen that asks for the code. From what you say it might be no more difficult than taking out the UK SIM card, replacing it with the USA SIM card, a screen appears asking for the unlock code which I enter, and hey presto - job done!
Have I read this right? Is this all you do?
Yes, you are right. It is as simple as that.
MDAIII unlock code availability
Who or where at T-Mobile UK can a SIM unlock code be purchased for 15 pounds? I just got my MDAIII from the Oxford Street retail store but need to use it in areas overseas without T-Mobile service.
Thanks...
I telephoned CS and they gave me the unlock code
italian Rom for xda III
Has anyone an italian rom for XDA III?
Thank you

O2 XDA2s lock
I got my xda2s a week ago and when i called O2 they told me that there is no way i can unlock my phone before the 12month contract ends!
That is really annoying,but they told me its part of my contract agreement!(which i haven't seen mentioned anywhere...)
I need to use it in another network over the christmas, so if there is any other way i can get this unlock code you are talking about, or any software that takes away the lock PLEASE share it.
I really appreciate it.
George
It may be worth ring O2 again. It seems to me that it's the luck of the draw whether you get someone in customer services who
a. gives you the unlock code immediately
b. charges you for an unlock code and unlocks it immediately
c. tells you it can't be done until the end of the first 12 months of your contract.
T Mobile Unlocking
I recieved my MDA III Yesterday :lol:
I phoned T mobile straight away on 150 (from the handset) they were very helpful and told me they are happy to unlock it :lol: :lol:
but I had to have the contract for 1 month
only 30 days to go :wink:

georkal woudl you please tell me exactly-
Which customer service number you have called?
How can you tell them to unlock the phone? (I hv Voda Sim? I go overseas?)
Thanks a lot indeed
I'm glad you got it sorted georkal.
It's always been like this with O2, I wonder what there 'official' policy is supposed to be? Everyone who calls them seems to get a different answer.
o2 - no help at all!
Hi there,
I have tried O2 a number of times, and each time I come across the same problem - if you aren't an 02 customer, then no unblock for you.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get this thing unblocked?
Tony
Phone your own provider. I'm on T-Mobile and had to pay £15 to get it unlocked.
I spoke to O2 Cust Service 202 many times......
(1)bring it to shop they will unlock for ya
(2)impossible
(3)not until 12 months later
Keep calling - 02 will give the unlock eventually.
I just told them that I was travelling to the US and wanted to connect to a different network while I was there. My unlock code is in the post right now - can't wait!

Hi everyone, i come from Hong Kong,
my friend in UK brought me a desire form Virgin, but it is locked by this network!
I want buy an unlock sim code from the web in UK; however, i don't know which company is reliable and reasonable..........can anyone help me......quite urgent
I have just bought a Desire which is branded Virgin Media from Cex in the UK and it is unlocked.
I have tried a three sim in it and it accepts the card and makes calls (called customer services) but I did not try to go on the web with it as I had no credit.
I am informed that it will not go on the web using a three sim, can anyone confirm this?
I have a Virgin 3G sim in at present and it is working well on the web.
i have retracted my statement since it was a error. the first email did not get throught to me. but the second one did after i made a paypal dispute they replied in less than 2hrs and even sent me a personal message via modaco excellent service apart from the technical error.
i do reccomend HTCSIMUNLOCK.com it worked out £13.77ish

So, which web do u prefer? i've sent a email to htcsimunlock.com, and they replied : "It's 19.95$ and takes from 5 minutes to 12 hours in some rair cases. The average delivery time it's 15 minutes."
How about unlock-htc.com ?
Re unlocking phones.
The easiest, most reliable way to unlock a phone is to contact your service supplier and request an unlock code from them.
I have done this with Orange, T-Mobile and Virgin and it works and is 100% reliable.
DO NOT USE HTCCODE - the guy is a crook.
This is an excellent service though:

I 2nd this, he's a bit hit/miss because some people swear by him but my experience is rubbish, no answer to emails or anything, he doesn't even reply to posts in his own forum
Hello, i have googled and searched all the threads but to no avail so decided to post another NooB thread!
I bought My arc from O2 on PAYG knowing full well that it was sim locked to this network. Having previously owned a HD2 i thought i could easily install a Open romm on it and it would cure the sim lock on it.
Upon looking into how to go about this i have seen threads on rooting but am unsure weather i will be able to do this on the 02 ROM that is installed on this. is it just a case of following the root guide then finding a general ROM for uk?
to summarise i just want to take the sim lock of so i can put my virgin sim card in and update to the latest android.
Thanks in advance
What happens when you put your Virgin sim in? O2 phones are usually sim-unlocked anyway, but no, rooting or debranding won't remove the lock.
Thanks for the quick reply
It just asks for a sim network unlock pin to enter.
i know i can request this but was told in the shop that i would have to have the phone for a year with O2 before i could do this. I should have just spent 50 pound more and got it sim free. i really thought that i could have worked a way around this though!
Any ideas?

Unfortunately, I have found with the Xperia Arc that it was a pain to get it unlocked. For the Orange San Francisco Android phone, someone at Modaco provided a free app that gives you your unlock code when you type in the IEMI number. Easy. On other phones, you often see codes for sale on auction sites, etc.
With the Arc, it seems it isn't anywhere near that easy or quick. In the end I had to get a refund from one online provider because they couldn't get the code (using their cheaper method - and I wasn't willing to pay for their more expensive service). In the end I used cellunlocker.net for a decent price, but it wasn't a pleasant experience from the point of view of not getting any updates on how long it would take (just kept getting told that it would be soon). However, in the end they did email the code and it did work - it just took about 2 weeks
this is what i found out online for you !!
Welcome to O2. Someone will be with you soon.
You're through to Ashton.
Ashton: Hi I'm Ashton. How can I help?
me: hi , i have a pay and go xperia arc and would like it unlocked , how long do i have to have the phone for and how much would it cost ?
Ashton: You've to use the phone on the O2 network for 12 months and then you can get it unlocked for a charge of £15.
pity ur not on contract as they do it straight away for free
Thanks for your replys. I thought it would be just a case of using a workround to install a generic rom and in turn this would take the sim lock off! I may jusy return the phone and buy a sim free version for a bit more. Cheers peeps.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
There a guide here detailing how to debrand your Arc.
hello to all I have a big problem ,I have a compact Z1 sim locked to O2, it was not stolen, not on black list,I would like the unlocked but looked at the picture and see my big problem. my phone I received like this

That exactly shows that you don't have a simlock on your phone. So what is the problem?

Your picture shows that you have a locked network, but not simlock, you can change that with an unlock code.
Have you tried putting another SIM in it?

Phone O2 and speak to them about unlocking it, there is no free way or software to do it yourself, and the cost of paying O2 directly will outweigh the length of time and hassle spent trying a 3rd party.
to contact O2 I should have the contract of sale with all the information
* I have not
and request an unlock code on a free website I did test on network
I need a flash

I bet you found a third party unlock code provider to help you with this, judging on the time this was posted.
would still love a reply
