Hey all,
I want my BL unlocked so that I can start putting some ROMS on my xperia arc. Unfortunately, as I have Rogers branded phone, I cannot follow any free unlocking tutorials. I know I before used Alejandrissimo's services, however he seems to be inactive right now.. So my question is, who is selling unlocking services right now?
Another option is to use Omnius, however I don't know what to purchase if all I want is a single bootloader unlock.
I may be incorrect but can't you use s1tool on arc to unlock?

Contact user jinx13 he offers the same service. Just search his name and you will find.

OK guys so I got a new Xperia S from a cousin that moved in from the USA. The phone is locked onto AT&T. I currently haven't got the phone (cousin is kissing it goodbye for a few days). So does the phone have a SIM in it that I should remove? Also is there any free way to unlock it so it can work with any SIM carrier? I am in the EU. Thanks guys. If there is no free way please give some cheap alternatives. Thanks again.

He is correct. AT&T never sold the Xperia S so it can't be locked to them. Any Xperia S purchased in the US is already unlocked. Now the Xperia ion is a different story.
Since the bootloader of Sony Xperia Ion LTE couldn't be unlocked due to special locking from telco ATT.
I would like to help fund raising for this mission... For those who are able to unlock the bootloader of this phone, they will be able to receive those donation...
Alright! Donation start... I would raise 10USD as a starter...
Let's help this device and make it alive again!
begin..

unlock code is just for the network and that is with att, bootloader is with sony. this may take time just like with the x10 which sony claims that the bootloader cannot be unlocked (well devs got it uunlocked) it was unlocked but its a dead phone that time since xperia arc was already selling like pancakes
sony is playing with us? Oh god...
Sony is the one who locked the boot per request of ATT. Now once ATT drop this device I am sure Sony will unlock it for us. Now the sim unlock is a different story as you will have to fight ATT to do that one and with new rules this will only be harder to do from here out.
I just wish they drop the phone asap so that to get bootloader unlock...
that's it.

I requested SIM unlock from att under the guise i was traveling abroad. Got the code in less than a week. Now, understand that it's made no difference in how the phone operates, but they did unlock it.

Im pretty sure ATT has already dropped the phone.

Att probably won't be picking up any new Sony phones until 2014

So maybe we could try writing sony reminding them that the Ion is no longer sold at ATT?!?

Yes it has long been dropped but to be honest it does not look like we will ever have a unlock for any of the locked devices.
you could merge this thread with this other

I would like to know how... i requested my unlock code and when i received it.. i tried five times with no unlock... after calling att after each attempt they just said try again. on my last attempt, they told me my device wasn't eligible for unlock. AFTER.... they had sent me my IMEI specific unlock code. when i requested another code for another ion that i have a few months later. they still show its not able to be unlocked. give me the name of the person who fave you your unlock code. i want to talk with them!!
Hi guys.
I've got one Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S LT18i from Vodafone (Portugal).
So i've checked this tutorial from sony:
unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
But i got my "Bootloader unlock allowed: no"
I've seen one website that we can unlock this, but we must pay for that. I don't whant to spend my money making my android "opensurce"... He should be unlock for customers.
So guys do you have any free solutions for me?
:laugh:
Nope. Gotta pay in your current status.
One of the services that unlock bootloaders did have a free unlocking weekend last year. I don't know if they will do it again.

Hey
My Xperia Arc is from Rogers as well.
I paid to unlock its bootloader.
It was like 10 CAD
FastGSM
Very easy followed instruction.
Hope you feel it's helpful.
I Have the C6506 and it is a Canadian phone that was on Bell. It was unlocked from there and now I want to use it here in the U.S. with Straight Talk (At&t) but keep running into mixed advice on different threads about what can and cannot be done with a Carrier Unlocked phone as opposed to a Factory Unlocked phone in this model. I posted another question earlier about using tether (hotspot, WiFi, USB) as an example. If I flashed the "Unbranded" firmware will it be better or would the "Generic" be just as good....pr would it be better to sell it and get a factory unlocked one....I sure can use a lot of help with this....Thanks
I would reset and reflash the phone so you can use it with any provider

Should I reflash with the Unbranded or regular Generic...also, which version is best ( as in the latest upgrade or earlier )?
I use generic and works fine

There doesn't seem to be many options as far as Custom Roms for this device....is development slow for this device for a reason? Is there a Custom Rom that is real good or are the Stock Roms better for now?
