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.

Hi guys I have SIM locked sony xperia e with locked bootloader. and in service menu it says it cannot be officially unlocked.
I want to unlock the mobile so that I can use any network sim on it. I have tried flashtools but it says that the bootloader is locker and canot be unlocked.
Please tell me how can I unlock the mobile ? If I use custom kernel then can I install custom rom on locked bootloader ?
Thanks

Bump.
I've got an Xperia E that is sim locked and I need to unlock it. Can't unlock the bootloader though.
Not really familiar with Sony phone either as I usually stick with Sammy and HTC and just need a backup phone.
Thanks,
I recently purchased a T-mobile Xperia Z3 D6616 with the hopes of using it internationally but it seems it can't be unlocked traditionally by entering unlock code. When inserting a non t-mobile sim there is no prompt to enter unlock code. Since i am not a T-mobile customer i can not utilize the "Device Unlock" app that comes pre-installed on the ohone. So my question is... Is there any other method of sim unlocked the T-mobile branded Xperia Z3 D6616?
Try flashing a generic ftf and see if it asks you for a unlock code
Thanks for your response. I actually tried to flash the generic d6603 ftf but to no avail. Just got back a lot of errors in flashtool. Do you know if the have a generic ftf for the d6616?

As far as I know no, espescially since bootloader in also not unlockable yet, only way is to be on contract with the phone on T-Mobile for at least 45 days. Also you are better off getting other versions of the Z3 as they support a lot more LTE bands.
Thanks for your response. I guess i'll try contacting T-mobile customer service to see if they can offer any advice.
Thanks again.
Are you a T-Mobile customer in the US going on trips or did you just buy it to use it in your home country?
Purchased it for use in the West Indies but looks like I won't be able to use it after all.
Better return it and get the international version. Even in US D6603 is the unlocked version.
The D6616 has only 3 LTE bands and may not be compatible in your area, for LTE service. Only advantage of the D6616 is that it has 32GB vs 16GB for other versions.
Would it be possible to create a flashable generic ftf for the z3 d6616 by editing some of the files of the generic d6603 ftf?
No
Ok, thanks for your response.
helpme please

Unfortunately the only to sim unlock the Xperia Z3 D6616 seems to be through T-mobile.

Its an over the network unlock. No TMO no unlock. Only way around will be if you root which we can't as of now.
Only way
The only way I managed to unlock it was using the unlock app and meet the requirements from t-mobile to work (like been a t-mobile customer).
when you guys with the unlocked D6616 go to the service menu does it say Bootloader unlock allowed: yes or does it say Bootloader unlock allowed: no. i used the app to unlock and it says no

hi
i have a d6616 tmobile version and bought the unlock code, non able to input the code, and not able to unlock with the stock app, dual recovery installed and rooted already, is there a way to put the simunlockapp.apk in the system and then using titanium backup pro, to make it internal so after rebooting, simunlock code prompting?
or to flash a rom that prompts the code
or is there any metropcs z3 rom that surely can be flashed even with locked bootloader to tmobile version?
any help
than you very much indeed
On some phones like the Sprint LG G2 there was a work around using root and the HTC M8 using root+SuperCID, but is most cases root won't help with the SIM Lock.
Only thing you can do is, give it to a TMO user for 40 days and then T-Mobile will unlock it, over the air after you call them.

Did you unlocked your phone?? I have the same situation...
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
