If I buy one of the unlock codes from eBay or some 3rd party unlock company, does that unlock on my glide stick intact if I flash cm10 or any other ROM. I've read on other forums that the unlock stays on forever on matter what ROM I flash but I was wondering if anyone can confirm or deny this. Thanks.

Confirmed your phone will remain intact. You might wanna keep the unlock code as I've heard people needing to reapply it in some cases.

Alright I just need the code I get from the unlocking seller and I can keep on using that same code if needed when I flash a different ROM, right?

I have an IMEI code from when some saintly users found an exploit on Sony's servers. Can this code still be used to unlock the play without having to pay anything? I unlocked it back then, rooted it, and then ended up going back to 100% stock. Now, I'd like to unlock it again, and really don't know where to start.
edit: R800x
Yes you can still unlock with that code. I had mine unlocked over a year ago by ashergray and I've relocked my BL once only to reunlock it.

Could you by chance point me to some instructions? Will Flashtool do the trick?

Yup. You use flashtool. Search for relock.ftf. I have it somewhere but its in this phones android development section. Once you have it flash via flashtool.

Each device's unlock code is unique, so getting someone else's code would do nothing for you

Because you have a r800x you have the branded phone. Sony doesnt hand out unlock codes for the branded phones suchas att&t and verizon. Sony gives out unlock codes for the non branded handsets the r800i the international xperia play

Buy the freegee app in the playstore (only a dollar), its by far the easiest way to unlock.. Make sure you're rooted first though

We always hear the bad in everything, and seldom the good. That being said, there are 100's if not 1000's of people that have rooted and unlocked successfully. But there is always that chance. That's why the disclaimers.
Here's some threads in case you get into trouble.

Yes I used freegee on two devices.. Its only a small percentage of devices that wouldn't work with the app. If by chance your device doesn't work, then you'll have to jump on irc to pick up a specially made version of freegee.. I believe autoprime has it.

You only have two options... Option 1, You wait until kikkat 4.4 become available for upgrade then unlock the phone with same code. Or option 2, you find the stock rom that came with the the phone which is the ice cream 4.04. Then use odin to downgrade and then you can use the same code.
From all my reading. I was under impression you cant down grade with odin?

You can't if your device has the official 4.3 update, like ota or if it was done through kies or Odin

Its possible it could've been broken by mistake, some people have had the same issues with Samsung devices on 4.3, try the new 4.3 update and see if it helps

T Mobile.
They will give you the unlock code if your phone is paid off.
It's also easy to unlock it yourself. There is a guide around here somewhere. The search feature will find it for you.

I was trying to find a place that was cheaper than $30.00 if possible. Thanks In advance!!!

People say chainfire's region unlock also unlocks the phone. I'd try that first.

I had a code given to me from T-Mobile, and it DIDN'T work! They tried another code, and it too didn;t work.
I tried Chainfire's offering and it did the unnlock in seconds! The benefit with Chainfire's procedure is that it's reversible...
You should give it a shot! It's better than waiting for T-mobile, cause you have to wait for their code to be sent to you.
