Hi!
I had a Samsung Galaxy Ace and following a little tutorial in youtube i get the unlock code for network...
Here i leave the link to the tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsLANiBftec
This tutorial it's no mine.
Now, i bought an Xperia Miro (Mesona) and i need to unlock the network too.
Somebody know how can i get this code from this device with ADB or something like that?
Sorry for the video language, im from mexico and i speak spanish.
You cant unlock Xperias for free as the sim lock certificate is locked away in the bootloader. You can pay for an unlock code fron many websites
I don't understand, there are some ROMs which have Unlocked Bootloader... So, why is this not possible ?

The problem is that my cellphone have the bootloader locked, in the service menu says: "Bootloader Unlock: NO" and i read about it, but "ST23a" doesn't have any way to unlock bootloader.
If I insert a different SIM, phone requests a network unlock code. I found a program to calculate the code but unfortunately is in a host where you have to fill a survey to download the file.
I don't know if that program works but it's impossible download it without register your cellphone number in a "phone club".
I know that there are some pages where i can pay to unlock my phone, but all are so expensive.
If you know a page where i can get the code without pay more than 30 euros, please let me know.

How bypass TMobile Unlock App & get Prompt to enter Network Unlock Code / IMEI unlock
Can't seem get the phone to prompt for to Enter Network Unlock Code or IMEI unlock input anywhere after I put a different carrier sim or invalid sim. Is there anyway we can bypass the 3rd Party Tmo Unlock App or get the phone to bypass to enter the network unlock code? The phone is already Rooted running on various ROM such as Darthstalker, Resurrection and Dr, Ketan L2 and also Rooted Stock ROM, but noting seem to get the sim to prompt to enter network unlock. Try Build.Prop nothing there...so far. Try Deleting sys file, apk and other Efs nothing work.... Do I need to change or install a new Baseband/Radio/Modem?
Its built into the T-Mobile based roms if I'm not mistaken. If you flashed an international rom I would think it would go away and you could get the standard unlock prompt. Thats how others have done it in the past. They flashed MetroPCS roms and then unlocked and then flashed back. Make sure its safe to flash an international rom first (even if only temporary).
Has anyone been able to try this successfully?

Use "shortcut master lite" or paid version its up to you..from app store and launch the 7465625 codes press the ones that show perso <android_unlock_code it should bring up what u need..hope this helps someone. .?I have the core prime from metro..and it works to let me put in the code..only I don't have the code..☺I found out about this app when I had the S5..

It can't be avoided. You must unlock through the app. If you install a custom ROM, and are able to get an unlock prompt from the phone, the code you buy over the internet will not work. You are best to go through the unlocking tools which cost between 25-30 and will let you unlock it with the T-mobile app.
Dude here can unlock it for free. Search the forum. Title "Sim unlock - domestic and international"

You DON"T need an Unlock code for these new Samsung Tmobile phones.
If the phone has been paid off for over 30 days then you can use the free "Tmobile Device Unlock" app to unlock
it and if the phone is STOCK and no one deleted the unlock app it should be in the app drawer of the phone.
If the "Device Unlock" app is not in the app drawer then you can simply download it from the playstore.
To unlock it with the unlock app it only takes one click.
The Device Unlock app will NOT ask for any codes at all it only asks if you want temporary or permanent unlock.
Here is the direct playstore link for the Tmobile Device Unlock app in case you need it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....simlock&hl=en
Here is Tmobile's "Device Unlock" step by step instruction link in case you need it:
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-14011
I unlocked my Tmobile S6 Edge+ and when I go into Settings>Mobile networks and click on
"Network operators" then click "Search Now" it displays Tmobile, AT&T and Verizon as options.
P.s. If the Unlock Device app does NOT unlock your phone it means that it's either not paid off or it has been stolen. (Blacklisted)
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Or, you can use a third party unlocking service like UnlockRadar.com. Here is a link: https://www.unlockradar.com/service/t-mobile-usa-device-unlock-app-official-unlock

Here's my question on this topic. I have flash numerous rims on my TMO note5 and the device unlock app just says it is incompatible and stops there. I know when I put completely stock note5 that I have used the unlock app and it successfully unlocked the phone. After I flashed the rims, the app does not work but I also loose unlock. Anyone else have this issue or know what to do to get unlock back with a custom rom?

Sadly this is true! The people who think they are entitled to everything and anything are ruining a lot of stuff for everyone else! A lot of devs just gave up and left because of people like this and crybabies who don't read first before doing something to their phone and then suddenly their incompetence is somehow the devs fault!? People need to grow up already.. Seriously!

I'm having the same issue with mine.
Im on a t mobile v10 and managed to get promted to enter a sim network unlock pin but i dont know how to actually get the network unlock code already tried asking the unlocking services ppl and they just refuse to belive you can actually get prompted to enter code.
I have a new ZTE z981 I have obtained a unlock code but how do I get the phone to prompt to enter the said code
Your wrong I got the T-mobile Galaxy S8 to ask for network unlock code
Just got mine today and it looks like the value is NO even I have allowed OEM unlock in developer options. A quick search showed if the value is no, you will never be able to unlock.
A very bad news for me. A few questions:
1. is that really not possible to unlock it? Who shall I contact? Sony or Carrier?
2. Can I root with locked Bootloader? And flash TWRP and ROMs?
Thanks
Kan
No, there is no way to root or unlock your bootloader if it reads 'No' on 'bootloader unlock allowed?'

RMA means what, return? I got this from an individual, no way to return but to resell.
The carrier is Bell, a Canadian carrier. I don't see their logo on the phone.

Yes it is.
On older Z series it was possible to root on stock kernel and therefore Unlocking bootloader wasn't required for rooting.
Since Z5, they implement Sony RIC and DM-VERITY, which prevents modification to system and therefore root.
To root, we need a kernel supporting root inside the boot image.
We can't flash any kernel other than stock (signed by Sony) on locked bootloader.

That's a bumm.
RMA means sending phone back and receive the money in return.
Did the seller told u it's carrierlocked phone?
Mostly on carrier locked phones there's no sticker or logo from the carrier visible on the outside.
U can try to contact Bell and explain them what's the problem. In some cases a carrier can unlock it for u. (they might charge a little fee for it)
Good luck!

If you've got the Bell Z5 then you're in the same boat as myself. No way to unlock the bootloader, thus no way to root, meaning I can have ZERO fun with this device. I even paid Bell for a SIM Unlock thinking it might trigger the bootloader unlock option to change to 'Yes' Allowed, but no such luck.

Thanks for sharing with me. You are very knowledgeable. I bought from a guy who bought from Bell. I doubt Bell will actually support my request. I will try to use it for a bit and resell if I cannot live without root. I have been using root devices since HTC G1.
All phones from carriers usually have locked bootloaders, except for nexus devices. This is why you never buy from a carrier if you want custom roms.

It's worth trying, just see how they react
I got pretty used to root too, since my first Android a galaxy S i9000 lol
Though, when I bought this phone (my second Sony) I decided to use it without root too and in the beginning it was a bit of a struggle but later I didn't miss it at all.
I only unlocked my bootloader after a few months, just to use another kernel.
You can disable most (if not all) bloatware via settings.

Is there anyway to flash Androplus kernel with own recovery via fastboot flashtool to get recovery and than trough him install super su zip and with that way root Z5?

Unfortunately not only way is change the device to one that says Bootloader unlock allowed YES the only carrier/network I know of that supply devices with unlockable Bootloaders for all there handsets whether payg or contract is three UK+Ireland as they only supply devices that are sim free network unlocked devices like what you would get from Sony store one of the main reasons I'm with them
Hello everyone,
This one seems to be a difficult problem for me so I chose to ask the xda community for help.
So I would like to get a Sony Xperia XZ Premium, but a permanently locked bootloader is a dealbreaker for me. I contacted the carriers and a few independent small stores in my country but so far all the places offer devices with disallowed bootloader unlocking. I even contacted Sony support in my country but they are not willing to provide any information regarding the unlockability of the bootloader. I feel like I am left with few options.
I live in Hungary but I will order the device from any country if the store offers reasonable shipping options and appears to be able to be trusted. I do not care about the warranty (it's nice but not q necessity).
Hope I am using the forum correctly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hongkong version is bootloader unlockable and it should be easiest to buy on websites.
Hungarian Telekom also sells it factory unlocked... It's even stated on their website.
Uk unlocked XZP has an option in developer settings for unlocking the bootload but as it stands, you will lose ypyr DRM keys

Thank you, sounds good, I'll look into it!
Edit: What do you mean by 'Hongkong version'? The location of the device? I can only find two variants (G8141 and G8142) which only differ in the number of SIM trays, the G8142 being a dual-SIM compatible device.

Are you talking about bootloader unlockability? Not SIM unlockability? I would be surprised if it would be stated on the website, but I couldn't find any related information. Please elaborate.
Edit: nevermind, found it. But this only means that the device is SIM unlocked, which does not mean that the bootloader is too.

But in the service menu, what does it say for "bootloader unlock allowed", yes or no? Also if yes, where did you purchase the device?
I bought mine of Amazon.com. Factory unlocked with a working fingerprint sensor and under unlock bootloader, it says "yes"
The attached shows the option in my developer settings. I brought the device from carphone warehouse in the UK but any XZP that is not carrier locked should allow it. The service menu allows bootloader unlocking but it would still mean sacrificing our DRM keys at the moment.
Sorry for asking, but those drm keys are important? Which is the purpose of that keys ? Thanks

As far as I know they are needed for several Sony proprietary functions to work. E.g. the Bravia engine, a few Camera features (BIONZ sensor), noise cancellation etc. Prior to Nougat there was a method to bring most of the functionality back with a flashable zip but now it no longer works. So I guess that leaves the owners to wait for another solution.

As fas as I know (fix me if I'm wrong), if the service menu says bootloader unlock allowed: no, it does not only mean that you are locked, but also that there is no way to unlock the bootloader. Ever.
I'm asking because there is a software called dc-unlocker that - allegedly - can unlock the bootloader of a lot of Huawei phones:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com/supported_models_1/huawei_phones
For the Honor 6X it says as a feature "read unlock codes".
Possibility 1: Huawei has a database of IMEI number -> random hardcoded unlock code. Because dc-unlocker has that feature of showing codes this is probably not what they are doing.
Possibility 2: The unlock code is generated based on the IMEI number (possibly other parameters are required)
Possibility 3: They don't actually generate unlock codes and just unlock it with some exploit.
Does anyone know how this works? I thought it may be possibility 2.
Has anyone collected IMEI numbers with fitting unlock codes?
Maybe if we had a few we could find a pattern.
i tried retrieveing my bootloader code from Huawei web site, it still work

Maybe I will have to do that, but it sucks. Imagine if you bought a PC mainboard and then had to register an account at the vendor's website to receive a code just to be able to boot another operating system than the preinstalled one. People would want to crack that instead...
If you dont want to pay for unlocking bootloader. Then request key throught hicare live chat it will take approximately 14days
I'm not one for swearing much, but **** you, Huawei: https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-stop-providing-bootloader-unlock-codes/
That's why it's important that for the hardware you buy you have all the knowledge in the open, how to actually control the hardware. Like the algorithm that calculates the unlock code.
I tried dc unlocker – unfortunatly it freezes
As the dc-unlocker web site and the client program seem to claim they'd be able to provide unlock code for bootloader – I downloaded the client and bought 4 credits.
After switching USB Port Settings to "Manufacture Mode" - dc unlocker client detects phone as
Found Applications port COM3
Model : Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone

When I change "Select Model" from "Huawei HiSilicon Kirin Android phone" to "Huawei Honor 6X" and press the detect-button again – the program freezes.
Anything I chould do about this? Anyone successfuly unlocked the honor 6x via dc-unlocker? Any other possible solutions apart from hoping Huawei coming to sence and provide the codes again?

I think, maybe "when it still worked" was meant – probably there's no "enclave" country were huawei still provides unlock codes… :/
DC-Unlocker seems to only support model "BLN-AL10" – maybe we'll be lucky in upcoming version (will ask in their forum…).
Anyone tried the services of "ministry of solutions"? They claim to support unlocking a bunch (probably all) of honor 6x models…
Any other possibilities?
dc-unlocker does not seem to work with my honor 6x – but I got refund for my credits bought.
(-> question in dc-unlocker forum)
Thinking about "ministryofsolutions" huawei bootloader unlock paid service – they claim in chat, they'd be able to provide unlock code for my BLN-L21C432B378. I don't like the thought of sharing my USB-ports via flexihub and giving access via Teamviewer– but I think the risk is not that big, if I use a fresh Windows just for that and disconnect my google account on phone and delete all personal data…
Any other suggestions or experiences?
Paid the 4$ for "ministry of solutions" – worked.
Code:
# whoami
root
# echo "yey!"
Despite Huawei saying the new policy is about reducing warranty claims for stolen data or bricked phones, occam's razor says this is to enable Big Brother's back door and prevent truly effective from keeping the phones from "going dark."
The first thing a third-party ROM user is told is that flashing voids the manufacturer's warranty. This issue is about control and surveillance, and there surely is a way to crack the bootloader code - even if the last method is brute force...
