Hi!
I had a Samsung Galaxy Ace and following a little tutorial in youtube i get the unlock code for network...
Here i leave the link to the tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsLANiBftec
This tutorial it's no mine.
Now, i bought an Xperia Miro (Mesona) and i need to unlock the network too.
Somebody know how can i get this code from this device with ADB or something like that?
Sorry for the video language, im from mexico and i speak spanish.
You cant unlock Xperias for free as the sim lock certificate is locked away in the bootloader. You can pay for an unlock code fron many websites
I don't understand, there are some ROMs which have Unlocked Bootloader... So, why is this not possible ?

The problem is that my cellphone have the bootloader locked, in the service menu says: "Bootloader Unlock: NO" and i read about it, but "ST23a" doesn't have any way to unlock bootloader.
If I insert a different SIM, phone requests a network unlock code. I found a program to calculate the code but unfortunately is in a host where you have to fill a survey to download the file.
I don't know if that program works but it's impossible download it without register your cellphone number in a "phone club".
I know that there are some pages where i can pay to unlock my phone, but all are so expensive.
If you know a page where i can get the code without pay more than 30 euros, please let me know.

Is there any method I can do to unlock my phone to use other GSM ? But I don't want pay to the unlock code.
thanks
Yes. You can run alpha rev to a-off your phone and then super cid your phone. Then you can use it on any network. Guides are stickied in the development section.

There any many ways to unlock your HTC Sensation such as,
Software used to unlock
Flash your mobile to unlock
Unlock via cable and so on,..
If you unlock mentioned the above method, You have faced major problems like erased data,Phone software problems,etc,..So safe and easiest way to unlock your mobile by using unlock code.I am not aware of free unlock code for the model you have specified.But you can paid service to get the unlock code.There are many ways to get the code from service provider,Shops and so on..If you cannot get the unlock code from those service providers you may look at legit third party providers like Unlock-Zone.com at low cost.. where they will provide unlock code with free unlocking instructions, then you can use this code to easily unlock your mobile to use any GSM network..
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?

it's worth something for me...

It's probably a n00b question so apologies in advance, but if I root / bootloader unlock and Cyanogenmod flash an Android phone that's locked to a certain network, will that network lock be removed along with the official default Android ROM? Or is the lock at something like a BIOS level (or whatever the smartphone equivalent of a BIOS is)?
I bought a pre-unlocked Xperia U about a year ago that I've been using on Vodafone and had to return it under warranty (got stuck in a boot loop despite the fact that it's totally unmodified, not even rooted, honest!) and the replacement they sent back is locked to Virgin Mobile. They're telling me that the phone I sent them was originally sold to Virgin in France and locked to Virgin before I bought it, and that they've therefore fulfilled their responsibility. So I'm just wondering now about unlocking, and I've always been curious anyway about how / if bootloader unlocking, custom ROMs etc are related to network unlocking.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide with this!

well u can unlock it.. by getting the code from sony..
It will also unlock the ph..'s Sim lock..
Or ask the sony officialy for this.. they'll provide u every info required.
But unlocking the bl will do the job for you to be sim free
But do double check this from google too.
Also before unlocking pls make a backup as it will wipe everything from the device.
Just unlock and don't flash any custom kernels.If you want to then do it carefully pls with a backup and a copy of flashable stock rom.
Flash custom roms based on stock kernels
Hope this will answer the query..
Thanks for your reply! I spoke to Sony and they just told me to contact the network (which have done and they're wanting to charge me a fee to provide the unlock code). So to clarify, if I root the phone and unlock the bootloader, the network SIM lock will also be removed?

Not by rooting but also i guess not even by unlocking bl..
how much are they charging exactly..
i'll try to find the link for this
Also check this that how many times is the code applied for unlocking..it should not be 0
use this *#*#7378243#*#* in dialer
then service info sim lock

When I dial that number, the number just disappears. What is it for? They want £15.32 for the code. Should I just pay them and forget about trying to remove the lock?

Sorry the code is this
*#*#7378423#*#*
check the sim lock counters should be zero in all..
if zero then once u can try googling the code for unlocking if they work then it's great.
if not then it would be better to pay them for this as its a bit risky..
and are u using virgin's network??
As it's cheaper what they areaskingfor i guess.

How bypass TMobile Unlock App & get Prompt to enter Network Unlock Code / IMEI unlock
Can't seem get the phone to prompt for to Enter Network Unlock Code or IMEI unlock input anywhere after I put a different carrier sim or invalid sim. Is there anyway we can bypass the 3rd Party Tmo Unlock App or get the phone to bypass to enter the network unlock code? The phone is already Rooted running on various ROM such as Darthstalker, Resurrection and Dr, Ketan L2 and also Rooted Stock ROM, but noting seem to get the sim to prompt to enter network unlock. Try Build.Prop nothing there...so far. Try Deleting sys file, apk and other Efs nothing work.... Do I need to change or install a new Baseband/Radio/Modem?
Its built into the T-Mobile based roms if I'm not mistaken. If you flashed an international rom I would think it would go away and you could get the standard unlock prompt. Thats how others have done it in the past. They flashed MetroPCS roms and then unlocked and then flashed back. Make sure its safe to flash an international rom first (even if only temporary).

It can't be avoided. You must unlock through the app. If you install a custom ROM, and are able to get an unlock prompt from the phone, the code you buy over the internet will not work. You are best to go through the unlocking tools which cost between 25-30 and will let you unlock it with the T-mobile app.
Dude here can unlock it for free. Search the forum. Title "Sim unlock - domestic and international"

You DON"T need an Unlock code for these new Samsung Tmobile phones.
If the phone has been paid off for over 30 days then you can use the free "Tmobile Device Unlock" app to unlock
it and if the phone is STOCK and no one deleted the unlock app it should be in the app drawer of the phone.
If the "Device Unlock" app is not in the app drawer then you can simply download it from the playstore.
To unlock it with the unlock app it only takes one click.
The Device Unlock app will NOT ask for any codes at all it only asks if you want temporary or permanent unlock.
Here is the direct playstore link for the Tmobile Device Unlock app in case you need it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....simlock&hl=en
Here is Tmobile's "Device Unlock" step by step instruction link in case you need it:
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-14011
I unlocked my Tmobile S6 Edge+ and when I go into Settings>Mobile networks and click on
"Network operators" then click "Search Now" it displays Tmobile, AT&T and Verizon as options.
P.s. If the Unlock Device app does NOT unlock your phone it means that it's either not paid off or it has been stolen. (Blacklisted)
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Or, you can use a third party unlocking service like UnlockRadar.com. Here is a link: https://www.unlockradar.com/service/t-mobile-usa-device-unlock-app-official-unlock

I know when I put completely stock note5 that I have used the unlock app and it successfully unlocked the phone. After I flashed the rims, the app does not work but I also loose unlock. Anyone else have this issue or know what to do to get unlock back with a custom rom?

Hey. I am sorry i cannot drop everything I am doing to perform a FREE service for you. gtfoh with that entitlement garbage. I do this for people when i'm at my computer when they write me. I go to school full time and hold a full time job. PAY SOMEONE to unlock your phone if you need immediate service. ffs you're the type of person that ruins free services for everyone.

Sadly this is true! The people who think they are entitled to everything and anything are ruining a lot of stuff for everyone else! A lot of devs just gave up and left because of people like this and crybabies who don't read first before doing something to their phone and then suddenly their incompetence is somehow the devs fault!? People need to grow up already.. Seriously!

Unlocking Xfinity S8+
Your post says they gave you the code in response to a text. Did you already have the OEM unlock opition visible in dev options? I don't even have the prompt... I wiped cache part and did factory reset, as someone suggested, but it did not appear after that (contrary to what this person said they'd experienced). So, did you unlock with some specific dial code? or did your settings>dev options have an OEM unlock prompt?

You have confused SIM (carrier) unlock with bootloader unlock. You can not unlock the bootloader on any US (snapdragon) version of the S8 and S8+.
On the other hand, you can SIM unlock with the code that Xfinity Mobile gave you. Turn off the phone, and replace the XM SIM with one from a different carrier. Boot the phone, and your device will ask for SIM unlock code.

Hi, and about the z3x Samsung tool, is possible to unlock with that program?
I know its more complicated, i have been searching and reading and found that.
I try a unlock code without success, now ask me the puk code , and the company refund my money.
And now what's my chances to unlock it?

I'm not familiar with the Z3X tool. If you're trying to carrier/SIM unlock your device, your best and possibly only option is to get your carrier to unlock it.
If you are trying to unlock your bootloader, it's not possible.

I think Xfinity is CDMA, so this is the only viable option you have.
