Can you unlock network sim so can use any carrier via rooting the Xperia 5 as I'm using Dr sim but they are delayed in receiving codes.

Apologies for not being able to find that answer.
I would like to know if its possible to unlock the xperia play that im about to buy from o2 so that i can use my t mobile sim card without having to pay for an unlock code?
Only those on phones not sim locked in the first place. If yours was sim free from the getgo it can be unlocked using the official se method.
if it wasnt, you can pay to get it sim unlocked and have the bootloader unlocked.
Sim unlocked devices don't have unlocked bootloaders. They are fastboot enabled. This will allow you to unlock the bootloader for free using the sony development website. Sim locked devices, do not have fastboot enabled. So even though they can get an unlock code, they have no way to get into fastboot to unlock bootloader
Hit me on the thanks button if you find it useful. ; )

Hi, is there a way to be able to use any SIM card with this phone? Like a tool to unlock the phone or a app that allow us to put a SIM card from a different network operator?
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.
hi
i am having my Xperia Z3 D6616 idle for more than 5 months, meaning? its not sim unlocked. actually unable to unlock it. i did not know that t-mob disabled the SIM unlock code pop up in their phones.
i am not in US right now so unable to unlock the phone as i bought from ebay as new. totally fed up with this situation.
i am tried all over the forum and waited log time to get the root, i felt it will be unlocked after then. but unfortunately rooting did not shed any light on unlocking possibility.
so far
1. D6616 cannot be Sim unlocked without Tmob support
2. No custom firmwares.
3. will not boot if international Firmware flashed via flashtool. or flashing pre rooted zips.
4. its known that it the boot loader cannot be unlocked.
i am looking for D6603 firmware ported to D6616 so that we can flash into recovery and get the sim unlock code Pop up to Enter the unlock code.
or anyway how to port the simunlock app from international D6603 FW to make it work on D6616.
I saw and tried HTC one M9 T mob sim unlocking method and it worked on HTC one M9. (the link is below) is it possible can we follow the same method to unlock the D6616 also.
looks like T-Mob disable sim unlock pop up in their phone to restrict the user to unlock as they wish.
link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/sim-unlock-method-t3143333
i request some developer help how to get this done. i believe they are so generous and helpful. at least some guides on how to make it.

I'm facing the same problem, all servers are down indefinitely. One guy also found if your phone never were used or registered in T-mobile network, can't be registered as elegible to unlock, this is my worst problem, I'm outside of USA with brand new expensive phone . If some one found any other solution to unlock, I'll appreciate the information
Unlock service is up.
Now we can unlock xperia Z3 with t mobile app,
The service is up. I bought the unlock service from cellphoneunlock.net
This service cost 50$, but this is the only option for D6616. Time will 3-6 days. I unlocked two of my D6616 after years

not that I believe in pay for those type of services. but I have a z3v and am in a similar position. I was wondering if you could check if your bootloader unlockable status has changed from no to yes or how can u flash stock z3 firmware with only a sim unlock.

This has nothing to do with the bootloader, it is for unlocking the sim only. The z3v is alread SIM unlocked, but, like the T-Mobile d6616, the bootloader is locked and likely to stay that way.
Hi guys! I have the phone from ee uk, but its locked by the mobile operator, I asked them for code they refuse me, tried with "0000" but was wrong code. I found this thread here How to tottaly unlock Xperia Z5 premium E6853 Flash and Bypass FRP but can't flash the device when I download the firm and wait for update give me an error "null" . Is it possible with flashing to be able to remove sim lock, or there are any other ways gyus?
There is no way removing SIM LOCK by Flashing. If EE I believe you have to wait after 6 months before requesting Unlocking Code, The other option is to search on eBay for Paid Unlocking.
Also you can't flash other firmware if it not mean for the device. ( You can flash Z5 Firmware to another Z5 but not Z5 Firmware on XZP)

The website above tells all of the stipulations for unlocking your device. These are generally pretty similar across most carriers.

EE will unlock it after it is 6months old. Go for eBay unlock should be around £12. Do not try random codes. You have got only 5 attempts.
