hi all, i have the nck code from operator but i dont have any locked sim cards to unlock it with, any way to enter it?
Want to unluck bootloader and stuff. Sony Ericsson st18i ray
If you mean SIM unlock, it's not the SIM that's locked or unlocked, it's the phone. The phone is locked to 1 carrier, and it will only communicate with SIM cards from that carrier. In order to enter the SIM unlock code, you must be running a stock ROM. After you unlock the phone, you can use any SIM.
In order for the phone to prompt you for an unlock code, you may need to insert an unexpired SIM card from another carrier.
If you're talking about unlocking bootloader, s-off, rooting, that kind of stuff, that's unrelated to, and independent of, SIM unlocking.

Network unlocking, like my phone is locked on one network, can't use others etc.
Not possible my friend. unless you contact your carrier.
I'm curious to know why there is no method besides buying codes to unlock.
Hello, first time to write post in xda...
I have xt925 with fido. I rooted the device and I realized that I must have unlocked device to flash ROM or etc.
So,
I bought unlock code for my xt925 from GSM.
Instruction is
turn on the device with different provider sim card.
I tried with "Rogers" and -_- everything works...
So i guess my device is for Fido and Rogers.
Now, I turn on the device with "Bell" sim card
and the menu window (to input unlock code or pin) did not pop up at the bottom of the screen,
it says "something with sim card (in English) / Perso blah blah (looks like Spanish)"
Anyone knows what this means? any further instruction?

What you are attempting with the unlock code is a "Carrier Unlock". To be able to easily flash custom roms, you need to unlock the bootloader. These are two completely different types of unlocking. Search a little more for unlocking the bootloader.

I own an LG-e612f android cellular telephone that I bought from Telcel in Mexico. I have not been able to unlock it. I have the unlocking code for it but everytime I attempt to open the phone for it to ask me for an unlocking code it goes into an "emergency use only" spot.
I have had several companies try to unlock it and they have not been successful. I was referred to your page by cellunlocker.net. I bought the unlocking code from them and have followed their instructions to no avail. Need someone that can help me.

The problem with Telcel Mexico is they have on their phones a locked firmware also,that does not allow you to insert the unlock code.You have to flash a different firmware on the phone then will be able to insert the unlock code
Hi there.
I have an Xperia E1 from o2. I've already rooted it but when it comes to the bootloader, it says: bootloader unlock allowed: no.
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader so I can install a custom rom?
Thanks.
If I recall correctly, once you have obtained the network unlock code to allow any operators sim card to work in your device, you can contact Sony and in some instances they will arrange for it to be collected and returned with an unlockable bootloader.
However were possible it's always best to buy a phone off network as they come network unlocked, bootloader unlock allowed yes along with a bloat ware free rom.
I just recently had to move back to Australia after a few years in Japan.
Before I left I spoke to AU (my Japanese provider) about unlocking my Xperia XZ (sov34). They advised me to use their online form, which I did. A follow up call to their help line confirmed the unlock worked.
It didn't.
Back in Australia, when I put an Australian sim card in it tells me "SIM locked by operator - no service" in the notifications bar.
Doing *#*#7378423#*#* reveals this:
The entries read
[] Network 0
[x] Network subset 10
[] Service provider 0
[] Corporate 0
[] SIM 0
Also, putting in an Aussie sim doesn't give me an option at all to enter an unlock code.
Is there anything I can do? I am willing to pay for an unlock code through a trustworthy site, as long as it will actually work. I don't want to pay and find out the phone is impossible to unlock.
So update, I decided to purchase an Unlock code from a site.
Still to recieve it, but I did notice something important.
When I put a new, no AUKddi sim card in the phone, I am given no option to input a code anywhere.
I understand that this is done by some phone companies specifically to make unlocking difficult. I am also of the understanding that I can flash the unlock screen in in some way. Is anyone willing to spare some time to show me how/provide a guide to do so?
sir
1. if your device is SIMLOCKED with Japanese network provider then ofcourse no other sim will work (even in japan). however lets assume that the device is International sim unlocked.
2. in this case if you are using SO3H version of xperia then you must flash AU firmware and try the Sim (suggestion)
3. when you say buying unlock code online... what do u mean? do u mean unlock sim code? or do u mean UNLOCK BOOTLOADER CODE ?
4. please don't unlock your device! unless you first downgrade to Android 6 and EXTRACT DRM KEYS (TA.img) ( its a SAGA if you decide to go that path i will guide you more sir)
5. you can change firmware from japan to AU only by flashtool. ( www.flashtool.net) , sony Xperia Companion may recognise your device as Japan market and flash the same firmware again!
6. please update what is your device mode, and Android version and BUILD NUMBER (sony stockrom)

Well like I mentioned, I used AU/Kddi's online form to unlock the phone, and a follow up call assured me that it was unlocked.

1. Things are much clear now, you were trying to sim UNLOCK the device. if you have succeeded and still cant register AU sim
2. then flashing different market firmware may solve this issue.
3. you should not UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER if you are not interested in rooting the device and
3b. even when you decide that you want to unlock the bootloader then you must first downgrade to android 6 and EXTRACT the TA-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.img file known as DRMKEY FILE and then upgrade back to Android 8 and then unlock.
4 sorry, DEVICE modeL . F8331 or F8332 (dual / Single)
Guys, is it hard to check other forum topics of japanese phones?
It's simple - just write with Flashtool a Docomo firmware for this model (all models there have a specific country firmwares list, usually only 3 for Japan - KDDI, Docomo and somethimes Softbank). Usually Docomo immediately asks for code when inserting a foreign sim, it's some KDDI quirk that they removed or broken that function in their firmware with unlocking.
All of this is not related to bootloader - all Sony phones in Japan specifically NEVER ever unlocked on bootloader level, they completely closed their market from "open source" or there's not such strict laws like in EU. So, it's useless to even discuss such with japanese phones.
Update:
I was able succesfully flashing it with Central European firmware (less bloatware than Au) and with foreign SIM it immediately asks for Unlock Code. Only NFC not working, but it's old problem with japanese Xperias (i was able to solve it on Xperia Tablet and only by EU Wifi firmwares, no such for phones and no one tries to extract NFC from there). The problem with japanese firmwares - in Flashtool only Android 6 available, it's not flashing on Oreo phone, showing partition.sin error, so it means also that downgrade impossible. If you want working NFC you need to find japanese Android 8 firmware somewhere (like 41.3.C.1.147 from Au).
Hey, guys... I just wanna ask, what's the meaning of paramaeter at the SIM Lock status.
It say that "[x] Network subset Unlimited"
Does that mean my device it's simlock can be unlock??
Hi, I found this forum as I was looking around for a solution to unlock the bootloader of my Docomo XZ1. Is there anyone that can confirm whether or not its possible to unlock the bootloader in any way?
