Hi,
I just bought a Sony Xperia X10 (orange phone). I am trying to get the phone to work on Vodafone Ireland.
I got the unlocking codes on a site. tried them the phone seemed to unlock.
When I power the device up it asks me to enter my pin as normal. Then I am propmted to enter a Network unlock pin. I have tried entering the Unlock code, my PIN, my unblock code. It keeps telling me that pin is wrong & for me to contact my network operator.
When using an orange SIM, phone works ok.
I presumed that the unlock code was wrong so I went to a shop to get the unlock code & they supplied me with code I got over the net.
Any one have this problem, or now to resolve it. I have all providers and repsonse are as follows:
Orange: You are not existing customer.... Cant help you
Vodafone Ireland: Contact orange or go to a shop to get it unlocked.
Internet site: Still awaiting reply
Any one got any ideas or solutions.
Thanks
I am trying my level best to get my xperia arc unlocked. The phone is bought from Rogers Canada from my friend who won it in a contest. I cannot find the unlock code as it is not present in the rogers database. The third party vendors have suggested me to get a manufacture unlock code. Others have suggested me to get a turbo sim to unlock it. A turbo sim is not a good option as call get dropped. Also, I have been suggested to get it unlocked from a software. Please someone anyone can help me get a legitimate unlock code.
Just did mine today $7.99 and got the code in a few hours.

I have tried them. no code found in my case. any other suggestions.
You tested to make sure it isn't unlocked already?
if you check howardforums there are a ton of unlock companies in the marketplace.
Yes I have. I have an AT&T sim card as well as a telus sim card but still they are of no use. Please suggest me any unlocking place that can provide me with a manufacture unlock code or a software that connects to the sony server to get the code from them directly.
I have used these guys as well

Ton of unlock code providers for Rogers phones, as mentioned above.
Did you provide the right IMEI?
http://cgi.ebay.ca/UNLOCK-CODE-4-Ro...000?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item2310942680 Got my code in 2 hours.
Believe you me my friends but i have tried almost all the websites mentioned above including ebay. below is the imei number if anyone can help me find the code. I will be grateful to you. The imei number is coming right from the phone.
Sony Ericsson xperia arc
I had also tried out for my sony ericsson xperia arc but it doesn't work.
From where i can get the original code because for unlock code you can enter the code only for 3 time after that the phone will be lock and you will not be able to access your phone.

Never post your IMEI number as it can be used for insurance fraud!
Just got the update im on 3 in Ireland
Sent from my LT15i using XDA Premium App
Apologies, I was not sure about it. but i have taken the imei down. my friends have suggested me that there is no unlock code in the database for rogers. i need a software unlock or some manufacture code to unlock it
Can i use a turbo sim to work with the phone? any thoughts? Is there a software that can unlock it. Please let me know.

i was wondering who told you that? every single phone has a unique unlock code and it is there while the phone was being made. people have been misled that unlock codes can not be found since it is too new or some other reasons.
PM me, if you still wanna unlock your Arc.
beware, your warranty will be void if unlocked by cable.
Lancez I have sent you a PM. Kindly follow up with me if you are lucky to find an unlock code.

I was thinking about getting the phone from Rogers once I find out a way to have someone ship it to me but now I stumble across this. Whats up with Rogers phones?
[Q] Repeated "network unlock request unsuccessful" message even after unlocking
[Note, I do not have root (it caused too many weird glitches and I missed OTA updates).]
I have the Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM originally locked to O2 UK. Months ago they provided me an unlock code and unfreeze code. When I entered it, the phone unlocked. But often, when changing SIM cards, I'd need to enter the code again. No big deal.
A few months ago it took several reboots and inserting the original SIM before the phone would unlock, but randomly it did.
Now I am stuck overseas, and have been trying for 2 days to unlock this piece of ****. The exact same code will not work. The unfreeze code will not work. I even just paid $25 to an unlock website, and the just sent me the same codes, so the codes are definitely right.
I have tried all of the unlocking instructions in their email. Nothing is working.
None of these instructions work. No network unlock screen appears. I believe this feature does not work with this phone:
Code:
Method #2 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code)
OR
Method #3 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #0111*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code)
OR
Method #4 Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press #7465625*638*# Once prompted for code, enter the 8 digit Unlock Code.
When I insert a non-compatible SIM card, it asks me for the unlock code, then says "Network unlock request unsuccessful". If I try the unfreeze code, it gives the same message. Then I try the network unlock code again and it gives the same message again.
I have tried everything in the email they sent me, but nothing works.
I refuse to format my phone for this! I have so many settings that would be lost.
Is there anything you can do to help me get this working, or explain to me the correct digits to dial in the dialer to get the mysterious "network unlock screen" to appear? I repeat, the digits above such as #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE# do not work.

thought i could help you unlock it directly without need for unlock code, but just found out it needs more than just a usb cable. I am helping out other guys via remote usb connection.
In your case, I cant really help coz ur phone is new on the playground so it needs sophisticated methods to direct unlock it.
Hi,
I entered the wrong sim unlock code into my LGG3 D850 too many times and as it says here, "Use extreme care during the unlock process, as the incorrect entry of an unlock code too many times during the life of the device permanently disables the unlock ability. The number of attempts to unlock the device is dependent on the manufacturer and model." I have contacted AT&T's customer care and they said they can not help. I have contacted LG but I am still waiting for their response. I can not go in person to an AT&T store because I am currently in China. I have submitted through their device unlock portal 2 times now and have gotten the same sim unlock code, but idiot me entered the case reference number in too many times. I can root my phone and do cfw. Is there a solution for my problem? Sorry for my formatting.
I am trying to unlock the bootloader on my unlocked T-Mobile N100. When I went to the OnePlus website to enter my info (serial #, imei, unlock code), it keeps telling me to provide a valid imei. I bought the phone of a guy on offer up app and it works fine with my AT&T sim, but it keeps giving me that message. I've tried contacting OnePlus but they said they needed an invoice to further investigate the issue which all I have are the screenshots of the original post and the conversation we had about meeting up (which I submitted to them). Has anyone else had this issue? I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure it out.
The OP8T also had this bug with the unlock website for the first few month of the phone release. Try contacting OP and see if they are aware of the bug.
Hi, friend, can u tell me how did u unlock this phone? Is there any free ways?
