Hi everyone,
My phone was bricked (didn't know what I was doing when trying to unlock it with TP). I revived it with the SE Update Service. I also unlocked it while it was bricked. It's now working but the SIM card not being detected. I also flashed it after it was revived but no luck - SIM still not detected.
Could you guys give me some ideas how to fix this?
One strange thing I noticed: in the service menu it says [Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No] and I think I read somewhere that means it's already unlocked. But in the FlashTool it says [VER="R9A021"] and I read somewhere that R means bootloader is locked. Or am I wrong and it just means it's locked and can't be unlocked? Could that be the problem? Or does that have nothing to do with it?
Please help! Did as much search on this as I can but things are just too confusing for me...
BTW SIM works OK in a different phone and I doubt it's the pins as the phone is brand new and they look OK visually.
Thank you!

Did you try inserting "a SIM card not attached to your current provider (e.g if you have T-mob use an ATT SIM CARD) and turn on your phone?" (credit sanfranx415 post) edit: maybe try a different gsm carrier in the same country you reside.
From what I have read and understand different versions of busybox will work or are compatible for different things (maybe somebody will tell me if that is not accurate).
Here is a video that might help.
Good luck!
Try contacting t mobile and tell them your going overseas for a few months and want to take your phone with you and is there a way to unlock it so it can be used in another country.

When you insert the sim card and power up the phone, as you unlock it it should give you a network lock screen that only lets you use the phone after inputting the unlock code.
Hey guys I won a Xperia T and tried to get the phone unlocked but I believe I accidentally entered the wrong unlock code to many times, I wanted to know if rooting the phone and installing a Rom will solve the simlock problem?
the phone is from Rogers don't know if that's relevant information

Rooting won't solve that!
Maybe a custom Rom could!
You never know until you try!
Btw get a proper code again and unlock it!

Nope. The lock on the sim card is separate from anything the ROM does. You'll have to contact your service provider to get an unlock code. Assuming the phone is legitimately yours, it is a very simple and quick operation.
Hi,
I did research using uncle google but I can't find any good answer.
So the question is: Is possible to unlock boot loader with any other method than official sony web site?
I'm interested if it's even test point method because on my J "Bootloader unlock Status" says No.
Maybe I should flash something jet like simlock.sin?
Any ideas?
Phone was sim locked before but it is already (sim) unlocked by code, unfortunately status remain the same.
Can anyone help with that?

In order to 'unlock the SIM' you need to do hardware modifications... The SIM from Sprint is soldered to the board, you need some skill and proper tools in order to do this.
The Photon Q is not a 'world phone' - it does not have a SIM slot to just pop in any SIM.
Good News !!! SIM CARD MOD IS HERE !!! - that thread covers the topic, but again - this is not like popping out the old SIM and popping in a new one.
Good luck.

Thank to you man
But i have new problem
I lost the IMEI number
Is there any solution for this problem
Hello there, I am not new to xda but this is my first post. I've a question regarding my M8 Verizon bought from ebay. Its been a year now and everything was going well since one day I accidentally did s-on and locked the bootloader while using HTC ONE M8 Toolkit by Squabbi.
Then I again s-off'd my device using Sunshine method (firewater didn't worked as it was discontinued). So I paid 1600₹ to get my device s-off'd and unlocked bootloader. But since then I am unable to use any Indian sim whether airtel, idea or any other. I tried many possible solutions found on the internet as well as here on xda. Like I flashed firmware (old and new both), flashed radio firmware files old and new both but no luck. Either I restored my device to stock Verizon rom using the RUU provided by Dottat. But I couldn't find any luck and I'm still unable to use my sim card. My phone is unable to detect it. My device doesn't even pops up any notification for sim card now. Please Help. :crying:
Is there any solution for this? I'm in a need of this.
Waiting to be helped as soon as possible.
Hi,
I do not know if same pb...
Phone is working fine on Lollipop on european Gsm/LTE (sometimes going back to cdma by itself, a bit boring), and is asking for SIM pin number.
When going to marshmallow (by RUU or by OTA) the sim is deribed to be absent or invadid, and It did ask for the SIM pin number
I did not find any clue...
regards
After a lot of tries, it finally worked. And the sim is now detected. Thanks to Me.

I disassembled my M8, then replaced the sim reader inside the phone, then removed and reinserted the flex on the board. Then turned on the phone, and edited the system file located inside root/system/customize/ACC/default.xml to change the value of sku_id and region located at last in the file default.xml
You can search on google for SKU LIST XDA. It will show you the list for all regions.
