Hi guys. Wasn't getting much of a response in the sticky.
My second issue is, I live abroad. To get it working abroad with a foreign SIM, I'd have to unlock the bootloader right? My phone says unlocking the bootloader is not possible. Is there any way to crack through this? I have contacted my provider about it before and they wanted me to buy hundreds worth of credit to unlock it, the thieves. It's a pay-as-you-go phone, it's not on a plan.
Any advice would be very much appreciated! Cheers guys!

Well if you want to get rid of the slide up game launcher opening just delet the xperia play launcher app that is in the shape of a circle and says xperia play with a root uninstaller
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
As for your second question asking about How to unlock your bootloader when unlockable=NO.. That's the only way and unfortunately it is paid.
@wedgess was spot on, questions about what the best / most stable / prettiest ROM or kernel is are strictly prohibited on XDA. Since your other question is a valid question I've edited out the other part and will leave the thread open.
Kind regards,
Tijmen
Excuse me but what sense does that make? It just increases chances of people messing up their phones. If its clutter you're worried about, I did ask in the sticky but nobody responded. The question of best ROM for Xperia Play is a very valid one because the Play obviously has extra considerations to be made. I was asking for thoughts on going full custom, or just a debloat, and where to find a debloat. Nothing wrong with that and you should not have edited the post.

Before he can cash on his discovery, let him offer a promo - i.e some free codes, say for 3 people, then he can market himself and profit if he wants.
Although, he will be defeating the objective of this forum, which I believe is not necessary profitering from knowledge, but providing something for the benefit of the community, then people willingly give you what they can afford if they find your solution helpful.
At least, that has been the case with all the other's efforts....pof, perjan, tom_codon, et.c to mention but a few.

Yeah he can make profit of his findings, but why for something we can get it done here for free, I unlocked my artemis for free, right here in this forum. no offence kingback, if every one reads the forum there is lot more anyone can do with patience, if kingback can offer better things he can get donations, if I can use what anyone offers and if it is working I'll be happy to pay for his time. Atleast this is I what think. and sorry if I offended any one.

Sorry am I missing something? Where is there a free SIM unlock option available in this forum?
The program has been deleted but Pof says it works. Ask someone and they may have downloaded it.
Basically you run the program and it writes a file that you use with a MicroSD card to change the unlock code on your device to one you know the number of. You then put in a different network SIM and put in the unlock code. And it is unlocked. Apparently. All the OP is doing is using the program he downloaded off this forum to create the file you need and then selling it to you. Shame on him!
Ahhh that. I thought it didn't work, but have read to see it may have been understood, although I don't read any posts saying anyone unlocked their Artemis with it.
Odd how come it was there for days, but as soon as it was deciphered it has been removed.
It was removed at the request of the software's author.
Why delete a free tool? That would give the people that have downloaded it more power, and make it easier for them to make money off it..
I don't think Admin really had much choice, if I have read the posts properly it was a copyrighted program and the holders asked for it's removal.

Rifaa - Where did you ghet yours unlocked for free ? Please provide the information then, so others can benefit. If you read my posting accurately, I am sure you will see I did not say people can't get it SIM unlocked for free.
I merely suggested that he make true his claim i.e by offering some free codes which in turn is ascertained by the beneficiaries and then state his terms...even if that is contrary to the objectives of this kind of forum.
unlocker didn't work...
as for now, nobody reported the tool actually worked! so be aware, the unlocker tool did not work so far. if someone is selling output based on the earlier posted unlocker, be a little bit skeptic before paying!
Maybe, if someone has the software, he/she could upload it to rapidshare?
there shouldn't be any problems with copyright or any other law...
I have it
But I am not going to upload it
SimLockTool_Artemis_Excalibur
could me someone explaine the following step for unloking device?
I have this but the instrucnions is not clear...
Or write me in PM.
Thanks in advance.

will anyone give me any info on this i leave in FOUR DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
will you be on tmobile in london?
If so, just call them and ask if your sim card will work in london without some extra charges. If not, they should be able to transfer you to a compatible plan without much trouble.
If not, you would probably have to wait out at least part of your contract period and then call them and ask to unlock.

I have uploaded all the tools you need to unlock your diamond for FREE
only 3 easy steps to have a security unlocked sim unlocked Diamond
IGNORE THESE IDIOTS TRYING TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR THEIR SOFTWARE - IT IS FREE

Buy me a Coffee / Pint if this helped unlock your Diamond !
OLD:
you want a free SIM Unlock right? well tough ****, there's no such thing as a free lunch... if you want to get something, you need to give something.
1) contributing forum members... PM me for a free unlock with your IMEI & email. - if you have an account that has a) existed for a good few months and b) you actually contribute to the site (technical wizardy, or general helpfulness - meaning, you actually POST frequently), then just drop me a message and it's yours.
2) everyone else (new accounts/unregistered/few posts, this means you): [size=+2]Get SIM unlocked Here[/size]
for 1), it's not just restricted to XDA-Devs members, MoDaCo also counts, and no, I'm not in ****ing partnership with Paul; if you're a good little MoDaCo member, PM me there.
if you're eligible for a free unlock, you get 1, that's it... this works well for me because it solves the problem of ****ers ripping it off for eBay in bulk whilst at the same time ensuring the good people of the community can optionally donate, and thirdly, I can get something for my efforts too.

Good reminder
Very clear for me :
Life is not free and that's not Olipro or Cmonex fault, hard work and talent must be rewarded for sure.
Do a real hard work as Olipro does, in every domain you are good to, don't complain for nothing, you'll be rewarded, simple as this for me.
Thanks Olipro for the cheapest and best Diamond unlocker available !
That's the bottom line.
Re
I agree with Olipro!
Thank you olipro for you help in this comunity.
I'm waiting for my diamond that comes from france, locked to SFR.

you mean "will it hard reset me" - no, it will not Hard-reset you.
and once you have unlocked, you are free to flash whatever you wish forevermore.
ok ! thanks a lot for your hard work !

You certainly are amazing at all this...
My diamond is a SIM free import, but I would like to have the opportunity to unlock my upgraded "UK Orange" Diamond - of thats what I choose in November.
I bookmark this thread until then.
thank you so much!
good work!
Thank you so much for this. Done an amazing job. Wish this thread had appeared 2 days ago, before I paid htccode.com for an unlock code. Hey, no matter, lol. When the security unlocker etc comes available, could you please keep me in mind for this.
I hope that I have been of help to a number of people in this forum and will continue to help if and when I can. Unfortunately I can't do any of the stuff that you guys can. Wish I could but no matter.
Thanks again......
Thanks olipro, for creating a gem of a software
@OliPro
Will CID/Security Unlocking allow (as side effect) for running protected firmware on unporotected phones and wise versa, perhaps? AKA regional protection.

CID? no
Security unlocking? possible but untested.
the regional protection is retarded crap anyway, a mere hindrance at best if you want to spend the time "fixing" it out of the OS.
hard work should always deserve rewards. if you cant afford it then stop whinging. im a student, so money is always a issue to me, but thats no reason to use a stolen piece of software which the author has requested on several occasions and sites not to use it. i respect this and have not used this. luckily i dont need to unlock yet as my contract is on orange and i managed to get the phone cheap. its the principle! life is not free!

Couple of questions for you if you do not mind me asking:
Are you aware that CID/security/HSPL unlocking is "hack" over copyrighted, proprietary code by ODM and others? There are so many factors that we have to take into consideration... it is all grey area....

Hi, I have been looking for this thread but I haven't found it, can anyone help me? how can I unlock HTC Wildfire S? (in a free way of course)
thanks
You haven't seen the many, many threads of people asking the same question?
The answer is always the same:
You need to either buy a XTC Clip or go to a phone unlocking shop that uses XTC Clips.
Hi there.
I have been looking for the exact same answer. I bought my HTC in the Netherlands and need to put in a sim card from Germany. I even bought an unlocking code from the official HTC website but they were useless, the code didn't work and they didn't respond to any of my emails. There are so many reviews with people thanking the company for unlocking the phone and their great service. I didn't experience either of these services and don't understand what I am doing wrong. I am no a techno genius and everyone is quick to say it works but no one explains to people like me the simple steps.
I have heard about the clip and will give it a try. Hopefully this will work. I will report back on the results.

ATTENTION NEWBIES!! READ THIS POST COMPLETELY
Seems like you are new to Vbulliten forums.....if you are not,let me remind you
There are some topics in the threads called stickies......they are the first topics you see and always remain the first ones....In the Wildfire S General section there is a topic named Frequently Asked Questions.....first check that out first and then post.....
It is for the better because it will save you from being getting shouted/abused at....
And to be strictly clear....
1.S-OFF/UNLOCKING- CAN BE DONE ONLY WITH XTC-CLIP(CAN BE BOUGHT ONLINE)
2.UNLOCK WITHOUT AN XTC-CLIP IS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS.....MANY OF THE DEVS ARE WORKING ON IT
3.READ THE F.A.Q. BEFORE POSTING
4.MANY PEOPLE ARE HERE FOR A LONG TIME AND HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS THREADS LIKE THIS.....SO PLEASE......TAKE SOMETIME FROM YOUR BUSY LIVES AND LOOK AROUND BEFORE POSTING TO AVOID ANY HARSH LANGUAGE ON YOU
The XTC clip sim unlocks as well? I might be getting one soon, so I'm just wondering.

The XTC-CLIP unlocks EVERYTHING.....that includes radio,bootloader & simlock
clip is NOT the ONLY way to unlock a wildfire s.. i've just unlocked one with a riffbox.. granted that not everybody has this box but stating that a particular method is the only way leads to confusion.. i'm also pretty sure that the guys on this forum will eventually pull a free unlock app out of the bag at some point as there are some pretty hardcore tinkerers on here..

OK, im on O2 and on contract. So im screwed when it comes to unlocking bootloader.
I know there are many ppl that all know the same as me.......O2 are t**ts and wont let you do it. But why??? Ive found so many blogs and forum posts about it but nobody has a definitive answer why. All i can find is opinions and ideas. So after emails to sony and them telling me its O2. Then emails to O2, and only being told there is a web page to sim unlock my phone (morons!) I decided to try the online chat help thing..... 5 attempts and several days at it, i have just been talking to someone that understands...he even told me to goto.......XDA...woohoo, but still no joy....he has no idea but ive made progress.....
Ha! Senoir member
Code:
info:
Welcome to O2. A Guru will be with you soon.
info:
You're through to Guru Jake.
Jake:
Hi I'm Jake. How can I help?
Rob:
I really hope you can....Im trying to find out some info about custyomizing
my phone
Jake:
I'll be happy to help you.
Rob:
I want to be able to install custom firmwares, and custom versions of android
onto my phone....I know it is more than possible as i was able to do so with
my X10 i had (also with O2). The process involves unlocking the bootloader of
the phone (not sim unlocking) Unlocking the bootloader is fully supported by
Sony but for some reason O2 have locked the function and im trying to find
out how i can get it unlocked
Jake:
Okay.
Jake:
Please can you help me with your full name as it's registered on your
account?
Rob:
Rob*********************
Jake:
Thanks.
Jake:
Please contact sony for boot loaders as we have not locked it
Jake:
and if you install custom rom the warant is void on the phone
Rob:
OMG some help that understands!!! Thank you but i have already contacted sony
and they tell me to talk to you....because if i follow the instructions on
this website (-http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/) i must enter
*#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu. In your phone, tap Service info >
Configuration > Rooting Status. On my phone it says "No" and according to
Sony technical assistance that is a functin set by O2. If i had bought the
phone outright and not on contract it would be "Yes" and i would have no
problem. But for some reason O2 decided to lock this function preventing
contract customers from installing custom firmware....i understand that it
will void my warranty, adnd i am OK with that. I just wish to find out how i
can get O2 to unlock the function and allow me to void my warranty
Jake:
I do understand that you wish to get the full experiance of your anrdoid
phone by rooting and installing custom roms, I would sugegst you to check on
XDA and they will have a greak for it and please note its at your own risk
and O2 will never all this as fas as I know.
Rob:
I am already a member. I even made my own ROM for my previous phone, the X10.
According to XDA and FXP the bootloader being locked is due to the phone
operator, and only happens to contract customers. But strangly enough, not
all operators do this. Is there any way you could find an official O2 answer
as to why they wont allow this?
Jake:
I guessed as much you would be one of the serior members of XDA. To be frank
I do not know whether O2 unlocks it or not but I can send this entire chat to
my manager to get this checked for you and I can then reply to via via email
about this
Rob:
That would be great if you could. Its frustrating as hell not being able to
install custom ROMs
Jake:
I understand your concern.
Jake:
I'd be upset too if I'd be in your place.
Jake:
Can I take your preferred email address?
Rob:
yeah - 7hr08ik*****@****com
Jake:
Thanks.
Jake:
Please give me a minute.
Jake:
Thanks for waiting.
Jake:
I've forwarded this request and will inform you asap.
Rob:
Thank you. Even if i cant just get an answer as to why, would be good
Jake:
You're welcome :)
Jake:
I'll let you know with a detail explanation to this.
Rob:
Cheers
Jake:
It was really nice chatting with you :)
So when i hear back from his boss.....im gonna give him an earfull untill i can get them to allow me to void my warranty!!! Let me do it dam you!
thats the reason you should buy a factory ulocked phone....
I know. But there must be a service to unlock it once I have finish my contract and paid off the phone right?
So if I can find out what it is, maybe I can make so headway to getting it sorted
