Unlock SE Boat Loader (Xperia *)
Given certain circumstances you can unlock your boatloader directly from Sony:
unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions
(sorry xda blocking url because of spamming)
I think the only major requirement is that it is not a CDMA phone. If you're in Europe, generally they have to allow you to do this. Otherwise you are sort of stuck with going through operator, or some dodgy site.
I am currently with fido, want to unlock the phone.
Is there any easy steps to unlock the phone?
Thanks
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...
Hi.
I live in Russia.
My English very bad, excuse for it.
I bought SONY EXPERIA Z3 T-MOBILE USA phone.
Phone was locked.
I can solve a problem?
It is possible to unlock it?
Why on earth you bought USA version?

I was in USA and I bought.
Sorry not possible because it's unlocked via network.
If there is a boot loader unlock in future it may be possible depending on how the simlock is implemented. HTC M8 requires Supercid to do the Sim unlock though..... LG G2 on Sprint required root and a CDMA tool.

Sony bootloaders have nothing to do with SIM unlock, so a bootloader unlock will not help.
As of now, the bootloader remains unlockable.

Hmm,
The bootloader of a Z3 can be unlocked via the Sony website.
Its only unofficial unlocks that cannot be done
EDIT
Of course the USA variants are all locked down though, but that's T-Mobile or AT&T doing that, not Sony

Yes, I've watched the video, but the bootloader for the T-mobile variant, D6616, cannot be unlocked.

Just want to say that the US unlocked & unbranded version is the D6603 just like in Europe. You bought one specifically made for a carrier, next time be more careful I guess. I suppose you should sell it back in the US or return it if possible.
The only way I can think of is to mail it back to a usa person. Have them get tmob to unlock it. Mail it back to russia. Not impossible just a pita. Once tmob allows you to put any sim in your set (essentially releasing there grimy fingers from it). Considering how greedy these ****e carriers are, good luck even asking them even if you have a good standing acct.
Hi,
Did anyone buy this phone from vodafone ro. They do not have the phone on the test benches and I cannot test if the bootloader is unlockable. I asked and again they won't let me play with the phone before buying it. I played with the xperia x in theirs shop and on this phone the bootloader status says unlockable: no. For me a phone on which I cannot unlock the bootloader is a phone which I can through out of the window... Thanks

If you want to be able to root it and unlock the Bootloader you must buy a sim free network unlocked device(like what you would get from the Sony store) the only network I know of that supply these types of device's is three UK as I use them myself all of there devices have unlockable Bootloaders whether payg or contract. Locked Bootloader root on the xa or all other new Xperias since z3+ will probably never happen, there's currently also no way to back up ta keys on the xa either which is why I'm still currently stock. It's a great device though I'm highly impressed with it

I bought three years ago a xperia l from vodafone ro and the bootloader was unlockable, but that was 3 years ago. I'll probably buy it from a store somewhere, not from vodafone, if I cannot test it. Thanks
