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?

Hi guys,
My brother bought a new phone, the Huawei Y300. But it's a branded phone by T-Mobile and so it has a simlock. I've searched around and couldn't find much about this phone, especially about removing the simlock.
What we've tried:
- Calling T-Mobile directly to request a unlock code, but they don't give it because the phone isn't 1 year or older
- Tried to follow this manual: http://huawei-y300.tumblr.com/post/47366836617/how-to-unlock-and-root-huawei-ascend-y300-all but if I request a unlock code on step 1 I got a email that the credentials I've submitted aren't right. But they are!
- Going to some phone shop who removes the simlock, but they couldn't
Can somebody help us out? There is no need to install a custom rom or something, I just want to remove the simlock.
Kind regards,
Roy
Hello, first time in this super forum, i have sony xperia j original with stock rom and last update; cause some lag and various stop and reset i decided to pass to custom rom; i followed the obvious site of sony for first step, unlock the boot loader ( my phone is unblock-able ) so continue with the form that ask me imei name and email...but...
Sony don't want to send me anything.....
Some ideas?
Thxs
Unblock-able?????
Hello,
So you aren't getting any code from Sony? And what do you mean with unblock-able? That the bootloader cannot be unlocked? If that's the case, ofcourse you don't get a code from Sony! Your bootloader cannot be unlocked! How should they send you a code if you can't unlock your bootloader?
That is my interpretation of the word unblock-able, you're using... Maybe it means something else, so correct me if I'm wrong...
Kind regards and goodluck,
MatsPunt

xperia j 's bootloader is unlockable not unblockable before sending imei number u should confirm that imei is exactly the same as in your phone and the problem can be because u r entering a wrong email address thoroughly check the email address u r entering on sony's site and enter only 14 digits of ur imei number (remove from backside if required )
hit thanks button if i've helped u

Trying for a month now to get the code for my arc s an xperia s and they just wont send it. Everything is checked and rechecked on bouth phones but there is is big NO from sony.
YES, the both phones have bootloader unlock status to yes. I guess they simply stoped and forgot to say it to everyone
If you are using Arc or Arc S , unlock Bootloader using EZ-Unlock App, beware since I am not responsible for bricked devices
Hi,
I have a T-Mobile Xperia Z3 D6616, but I think it's a bit different from what I heared about T-Mobile D6616 devices, I don't live in the USA so I need your help to confirm my suspessions doubts :
1- I don't have the T-Mobile Logo on the back of the phone.
2- The bootloader is unlocked
Other than that, I have the same configuration, it's a 32GB and I verified everything else with Antutu.. I've flashed a T-Mobile firmwire again and it worked, I rooted it etc... no problems.
So what's the deal about my phone ? Why is it unlocked ( I've never heared of a Z3 D6616 with unlocked bootlaoder ) and why it doesn't have the T-Mobile Logo ?
Thanks in advance.

How was you able to get your bootloader unlocked
Pictures will help, about phone lists everything mostly
Post pix or it didn't happen.
I actually have one too, though mine does have the T-Mobile logo. Some models you pick up online for D6616 will have an unlocked bootloader, I just broke mine and am trying to fix it(tip: Don't flash ZyxxOS on D6616).
I got mine off ebay, from a seller named traderphone followed by some numbers. It just came unlocked out of the box. They told me they buy them in bulk directly from a manufacturer, so I think what's going on is they're being built to that standard and not being locked at all, and just being sold wholesale. D6616 only comes in T-Mobile branding so I imagine it's just the hardware manufacturer selling them to people who aren't T-Mobile and not being asked to lock them.

Can you do *#*#7378423#*#* into the dialler > Service info > Configuration and post your "Bootloader unlock allowed" status? Screenshot will help or it didn't happen.

Also, just adding some information, you can send a screen shot from this menu on the "Service Tests> Security" from the same menu? I'm curious about if it still have the DRM keys intact even if its bootloader is unlocked...
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.

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?
