hi all, i have the nck code from operator but i dont have any locked sim cards to unlock it with, any way to enter it?
Want to unluck bootloader and stuff. Sony Ericsson st18i ray
If you mean SIM unlock, it's not the SIM that's locked or unlocked, it's the phone. The phone is locked to 1 carrier, and it will only communicate with SIM cards from that carrier. In order to enter the SIM unlock code, you must be running a stock ROM. After you unlock the phone, you can use any SIM.
In order for the phone to prompt you for an unlock code, you may need to insert an unexpired SIM card from another carrier.
If you're talking about unlocking bootloader, s-off, rooting, that kind of stuff, that's unrelated to, and independent of, SIM unlocking.

Hello, I know I can't unlock the bootloader but if I unlock the device via code then can I unlock it via unlockbootloader.sonymobile?
When you succeed at finding a code which enables this you'll become very rich!
If you really want it unllocked though the only way is to pay. www.phoneunlockserver.com unlocked mine.
Hi,
I am a beginner. I reag this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743694
I just bought an Xperia phone M2. It is block in the Vodafone network.
"Bootloader unlock not allowed"
What to do, what are the steps to use it on another network?
Thank you,
There is no way around it I am afraid. Your bootloader cannot be unlocked and that's it. I am in the same boat as you, except mine is from T-mobile. The only thing that we can hope for is that someone will find a way to root the Xperia's M2 stock 4.3.2 rom without flashing a custom kernel or recovery. Hopefully there will be custom roms based on stock in future, but we can forget about roms like CM, Paranoid etc.
Oh and btw, simlock is not the same thing as perma locked bootloader. You can remove the simlock, but that won't change the "Bootloader unlock allowed:" to "Yes". This was already confirmed in the Xperia SP forums. There were rumors that custom mobile shops can change the bootloader status, but we are yet to see any confirmation about this. Also, even if they can do it, it is still questionable if the fastboot mode will be there at all.
Thancs!
Here is a way to unlock your M2 http://www.xperiacodes.com/shop/unlock-sony-xperia/unlock-sony-xperia-m2/

It's impossible to unlock...
Is it simlocked? If it's simlocked to some network you are unable to unlock the bootloader. If you unlock the phone, you will be able to unlock the bootloader

I had several phones that were sim locked and I was unable to unlock the bootloader. After sim unlocking them I was able to unlock the bootloader. The same goes for the Xperia M2, it was locked on T-Mobile MK, after unlocking the phone I was able to unlock the bootloader.

So, I assume that if I flash a debranded firmware from Xperia M2 (My cellphone can't unlock Bootloader about the "[x]Newtork 10" is locked in SimLock) may unlock the bootloader without any troubles? Is that so? Or I'm mistaken?
If I'm correct, that'd be amazing, I'd like use other ways to personalize my phone but I can't 'cause of the stupid Bootloader xDD.
Thanks!

Unfornately yes it's true how DavidMKD sayd before you need to unlock you device before unlocking the bootloader i asked few friends and XDA members and they confirmed too so , unlock the phone than you can unlock the bootloader

Debranding basically removes all the bloatware that slow your phone down. You can't sim unlock with debranding, only with special code provided by some other sim unlock sites/ebay

Exactly that. Try to enter it correctly because there is a limit on how many times you can enter to network unlock code. If it doesn't work on KitKat, downgrade it to 4.3 and enter the code. I had similar problem where I was unable to unlock on KK but on 4.3 worked fine.

Well, about that, I have a "plan", or, better said, a contract between the carrier and the cellphone, so, I must wait for two days to complete the "legal" contract. So, after that, I guess that I can unlock the device and then, unlock bootloader.
Thanks for everything!
Hi there.
I have an Xperia E1 from o2. I've already rooted it but when it comes to the bootloader, it says: bootloader unlock allowed: no.
Is there any way to unlock the bootloader so I can install a custom rom?
Thanks.
If I recall correctly, once you have obtained the network unlock code to allow any operators sim card to work in your device, you can contact Sony and in some instances they will arrange for it to be collected and returned with an unlockable bootloader.
However were possible it's always best to buy a phone off network as they come network unlocked, bootloader unlock allowed yes along with a bloat ware free rom.
