Please I'm Clement and I'm planning to buy sony xperia z3. But because we don't have a sony approved shop in our country, I would like to know if there are any thing to check on the phone apart from the appearance. Like a code to enter to check if its really original. or any way I can use the IMEI to check. thanks

(It sucks not to have a subforum..)
Title says it. I want to buy one of these phones, but I'm not gonna if I cant unlock the carrier (be able to insert SIM cards of other carriers). A friend used a program called blade unlock for the ZTE Blade, which gets the IMEI and gives you an unlock code (NCK, i believe it's called), and I found sites online with calculators where you input your IMEI and it gives you an NCK code to input when you turn on your phone. All those utilities were free.
Can I do so with a Galaxy W? I find only online sites which charge for it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, is this an easy phone for rooting and stuff? Or is it one of those that you cannot root?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
You may try to use the application: Galaxy S Unlock.
Thing is: if I buy the phone it's gonna be from another carrier, which I cannot use. I don't want to be stuck with an unusable 135€ phone... :X
I'm not gonna buy it until I found a free way to unlock it. If anyone knew if the Galaxy S unlocker works in Galaxy W, I'd be more grateful than *insert lame comparison here*. No, seriously, I'd owe you a beer.
Bump;
Sorry to be annoying, but I really would like to know if any exploit works for unlocking Samsung Galaxy W. As a last resort, however, I'd buy a code off eBay..
I'd like to know the same......every thread I've read with this question ends without an answer either way!
Only sites that want you to pay seem to exist to provide you with an unlock code!

I have tried them twice now to unlock a Nokia N8 and my Sony xperia tipo, both times they said 24 hrs and both times they said sorry cant get a code for you.
If this happens make sure that they refund you, I sort of missed it the first time round and did not get refunded, but second time I was on it and you have to start a complaint to get your refund...
I phoned Orange to ask for an unlock code and that is actually going to cost me more than the phone cost originally so I think I am just going to to keep it the way it is at the moment... its a pity though....

I've unlocked xperia tipo on the site it
Hi!
Last week I bought a SIM-locked Sony Xperia Z and now I'm waiting for an unlock code to arrive. However, it may take several days and I bumped into the website http://un-lock.us/ which say it's free and fast.
I couldn't fins any reliable info or opinions about it, so I haven0t been so foolish of just entering my IMEI there, just in case. It seems surprising to me that no good or bad words about this service, since it provides a (AFAIK) legal service.
I would greatly appreciate any recommendation from reputable XDA members. Thank you very much
Hello everybody,
I have an unusual problem - I was given money...
To be exact, my company awarded me with around $800 gift voucher for amazon.com. The only problem is I live in Europe, Poland to be exact. And since it is a pain in the ... head to bother with spending all of it for small time shopping (all the shipment hassle and such). So I thought I might replace my current android device with Sony Xperia Z3. A quick search on amazon reveals a few options:
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Unlocked-Warranty-without-contract/dp/B00NQC88IU/
this one seems to be most promising.
Now, can anyone advise me on this choice? As it's a GSM phone i get it will work in Poland, maybe with limited LTE capabilities but that is ok for me. What about anything else I might not be aware of? Is there any other potential problem regarded to moving phone to other part of the world?
Also, can anyone help me guess, what sort of guaranty does the item description mention? The seller was not very specific about it, which raise a bit of a concern by the way...
Anyway, I would appreciate any guidance on my crazy idea on buying this specific phone, what do you think?
The seller is Sony themselves lol... The Z3 is a great device. Do note that if you are someone who loves to root your android phone, this might not be the phone for you. In order to root the phone, you will have to unlock the bootloader which will cause the DRM keys to be lost forever. This will cause the camera to be very bad in low light especially and other features to be lost forever, even after u unroot.

Hmm, here is how it looks from where I sit, the seller in lower circle, and sony mentioned as manufacturer... I think Amazon is a confusing place compared to ebay or our local shopping websites. If it was really Sony who sold this particular phone, I wouldn't be afraid to get it.
Anyhow, your information about rooting of Xperia Z3 is very useful... Thank you for this valuable piece of knowledge.

The seller shld be Sony themselves. Sony relies on manufacturers to make their phone and that OE USA is most probably the manufacturer for the z3. So i wouldnt worry abt it too much. U can ask for a refund if the z3 turns out bad.

Hello guys,
Someone offered me a new Xperia Z3, in fact i don't trust him that much.
My question is, is there is a way to identify the original phone?
In other brands there is some code called reconditioned "RTN" that identify if phone was refurbished or repaired before, is there any similar code that
works for Xperia Series ?
Thanks
