Is ther a way to unlock my xperia M from my carrier?
tnx!!!
Sorry, but you can't unlock it yourself, even, when you have root. Mine one had simlock too, only Carrier, where you bought phone can unlock it. I called Orange to remove simlock, and after hour later I got the code, but this thing was really expensive. Why they're locking phones?!
they lock them as an insurance so you have to use their network its all about money as either way you have to pay to get it unlocked from a carrier

The title says it all
I didn't see any good anwsers at the forum, so I thougt that I'd just ask =)
So if I pay a sum of money, to unlock my SIM. Does that unlock my bootloader aswell?
No. Officially only sim-free phones can be unlocked(e.g. if you buy it sim-free or if it's on contract with some providers) but there are ways round it. Don't know myself, mines was sim-free, but there's a few threads...

Thanks bro!
Setools will unlock bootloader and sim.
It is a paid for service,search forum.

Depends how you sim unlock...
If you unlock by IMEI then no!
If you unlock with setool remotely then yes. (and will also enable fastboot)
Other programs like octupus sim unlock but do not unlock the bootloader so make sure you know what you are getting before you part with money
Jinx13
Contact jinx13 I did with similar locked phone, he will unlock it and bootloader using test point method and se tool remotely
Doh just seen jinx is here

Use wotanserver. Really cheap and easy process

A quick question.
Is there any way to network unlock the xperia play manually, I mean without paying for an unlock code. I've searched google & xda a lot but can't find much on the topic. (This likely means that it can't be done, I know)
But I ask anyway cause I sim unlocked my sister's Galaxy Ace & that was sooo easy, I'm just surprised that it can't be done on the xperia play.
/noob.
All responses appreciated!
No there isn't, contact your network they may do it for free... Unlocking your bootloader also unlocks your sim.

Unlocking your bootloader does not unlock your sim, that's nonsense.

Thanks for the quick replies guys.
Much appreciated.
I heard that it doesn't unlock the sim, I read up on it before posting here cause I'd seen some people posting that it unlocked the sim as well.

No it does not unlock your sim, You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
unlocking bootloader doesnt mean unlocked sim butt yes my sim was unlocked when i unlocked my bootloader through through ominus, it came for free as an extra
Those who say it does, wanna cite a source? Rather than just saying "it does"
Sorry for the confusion, the paid method of unlocking your bootloader does unlock your sim lock - which is why i suggested it(wasn't telling you something irrelevant) , the free method via the sony website does not.
EDIT- http://unlock-bootloader.com/ This websites owned by one of the two people who do unlock bootloader and it says under bootloader unlock it's included with the sim unlock.

Ah I see, thanks.
How do these guys do it? Do they have some kind of hardware tools or inside track? It's just weird to me that we can't unlock the sim ourselves when you can do nearly everything else with phones these days!
They use a software called SEtool or omnius, they have to pay for credits(which are only sold in bundles and so would be wasteful and expensive for somebody unlocking just their bootloader) to use the software which is why they charge you the equivalent- they dont make anything or make little from offering the service.
if it's just sim unlock and you don't want to unlock bootloader and fastboot then you can try here if your phone is At&t :http://sim-unlock.net/sim-lock/99/Unlock_by_code_any_Sony_Ericsson_network_AT&T_USA/
The cost is around $6 USD

That's fair enough. But you paid to get your bootloader unlocked right?
I see how you can easily make the correlation.
But as Nabeel alluded to:

does the testpoint unlock method work to unlock sim also?
think so not sure
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.

I want to reove sim lock !
The only option is to use setools which is a paid service, this will unlock SIM card and also unlock bootloader without losing drm etc, however the bootloader can be relocked.
xda member jinx13 offers this via remote access, search his name in search bar.

Check the Internet for one of the SIM unlock services for your area. For example in Canada I can get a Xperia Arc unlocked(allows you to use any provider) for $8.
If none are available in your area(for provider) then maybe you will need the advise above and unlock the BL....for bootloader I used Alejandrissimo

Just use Omnius then.
In many countries this service is available in local shops that sell and repair mobile phones for small price. Since you dont know english that well you should consider that instead of using google and xda to find it...
This thread is old, but maybe someone still searching for solution... here it is:
