Hi all,
Have a quick question...
I have an SE Xperia X10i and have Cyanogenmod 7.2 running on it. It is currently locked to Orange (UK) and I want to unlock it so I can use a different network. I took it to an unlocking shop and they said that their unlocking software wouldn't work with it because it has a custom rom.
My question is, if I was to buy an official unlocking code from Orange and entered that - would it successfully unlock the handset. I can understand why the software wouldn't work with the custom rom but surely the code will work!?
Thanks in advance...

If it's an unlocked GSM phone, it will work with any GSM carrier. I don't know if your phone is carrier locked or not, though. Also, custom roms don't control which carrier you can use.

You don't need root or ANYTHING to unlock your phone.
1) get SIM that is not the network the phone was originally on
2) buy unlock code from local dealer or trusted ebay seller. You have to give them your IMEI I believe
3) put that SIM in and when prompted, enter unlock code. Phone is now unlocked for any SIM card for eternity

Hello guys
I have Xperia J witch is SIM locked and network branded.
In my Bootloader unlock allowed says NO, so is it possible at this time to unlock bootloader some way on there is still no solution for this?
I know this phone is new and development is in early stages and there is no much information on the web.
Is it still possible to ROOT and flash custom recovery if bootloader is locked?
Thanks
You can try to root it first. There are no CWM or custom Rom for J at this moment.

Hey,
I am new to all this however can I ask if its possible to unlock my Xperia E handset which is Orange UK locked by flashing an unlocked firmware on the handset?
Is this possible or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
Thanks

Hi mate, I got my Xperia E from Orange UK Aswell, I am sorry to say it cannot be unlocked by simply flashing a rom. You can unlock it my going to phoneunlockserver.com and pay £10 to get it unlocked like I did. It is a much cheaper way than getting an unlock from orange that will cost you £25.
This way will also give you an unlocked bootloader meaning that you can install custom roms onto your phone!

Hey, I think mentioning this tool was banned on XDA. Something about a forum member who'd been removed or something?
Hi,
My sister-in-law has Sony Xperia L, and she has recently changed carrier. I wanted to flash her phone with a custum rom with unlocked sim status. But I have a problem with unlocking the bootloader. Bootloader status: Unlock not allowed. Is there any way to unlock it, or flash a custum rom without unlocked bootloader?
thanks,
d
Bro, believe me I am in the same situation, there no way... I just gave up... Unless.. Where are you from?

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Please see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/general/guide-xperia-debranding-rooting-bl-t2072031 It looks like it's not possible without paying for an unlock code.
