You may have to buy an unlock code for your phone as you cannot use the free method once your phone is on the 4.3 bootloader.

Hello
I recently came into possession of a sony xperia lt15i which is currently on Virgin (UK) and I would like to unlock the device. Its currently charging so I cant advise the OS.
Can anyone offer some help please
the software version is 2.3.4
You can unlock the Bootloader by one of three ways and Sim unlock by one, which is to pay for it.
Hi mate,
Mine was locked to Virgin UK, I unlocked via the test point method. Below is a quick guide I made in a previous post:

This method does unlock the Boot loader though, not sure if you want to do that yet.....
Hope you find it helpful
BTW: it doesn't matter which firmware your running.
Is there a way to reset a permanently network locked phone? Got a used phone and I guess the previous owner tried to sim unlock without success and now that I tried to unlock it it tells me that "This phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked." I would really appreciate any response.

Hello everyone
I just got a note 2 off mining and it's locked to Bell. I want to unlock it to work with other carriers. I know that there is a way to self unlock but you need an older version of android. My note is 4.3 and I read that trying to downgrade will get my device bricked. So, being new and unexperienced at this, can someone recommend me what to do? Is there a safe way to downgrade from 4.3 to 4.1.1 or should I just pay someone to unlock it? If the latter, is there a really cheap online unlocking for Canadian carriers?
Thank you for your help
Hey, there is any chance that when I change my android from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2 my phone to be sim locked again? Now my phone is unlocked but I have to Ideea how the was unlocked and I wonder if my phone will be locked again when I change my rom. The problem is that when I dial 2945#*975# and I choose network lock it says "this phone is permanently locked and it can not be unlocked" so I dont know what to do, I am afraid that when I do change the android my phone will become permanently locked.
If someone can expalin me it would be great. Sorry for my bad english.
The same is written on my phone, and it's fully unlocked so don't worry.
So I can put kitkat with flash tool and kdz without problem?
Of course.
Hello. I recently got my hands on a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SIII. The phone is network locked and I need to unlock it. I already rooted the phone.
However I have not been successful in unlocking the SIM. There is a method posted here on XDA which tells you to use the menu by dialing *#197328640#. However it won't work on the versions after Android 4.1
I was wondering if anyone can share with me where I can download the stock or a custom ROM with Android 4.1 so that I can use this method to unlock the SIM.
If you know of any other methods that don't require me to pay third parties please share them with me.
Thank you.
If the phone is running a stock 4.3 or newer bootloader, you cannot use the free method to unlock the phone.

That's right. I was wondering if anyone could share with me a 4.1 bootloader because I wasn't successful in finding one.
You can't flash a 4.1 bootloader over a 4.3 or 4.4.2 bootloader. Trying will probably brick the phone.
