Sim lock info - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone guide me on the information and what it stands for in the pic below. I tried unlocking my bootloader but was unable via setool and I received error 144 so im not sure if its because their server is offline or if its because of something else. Though I have plenty of credits. Every other phoned unlocked fine today, well the semc ones eg w995 etc.

I have the exact same info in my phone. I would like to know the answer to what the network 5 means as well. I imagine will work on 5 networks or is locked to 5 networks, god knows.

The "X" Means your handset is Sim locked, will only work with the carrier/network it was purchased from, and afaik the 5 is the ammount of times you have left to enter the unlock code.

Thats weird because though my phone is o2 locked ive used a 3 sim in my phone. However what does the rest of it mean? I.e. The 0's and corporate etc

Unlocked Bell HD7 (T9295) on AT&T

If you don't already know, the unlocked Bell HD7's 3G bands are the needed bands required for AT&T (850,1900). I received my unlocked Bell HD7 from Negri Electronics today and I was super excited to get it going on AT&T here in The States but ran into a very weird problem...
Basically, I can't connect to 3G/HSDPA/EDGE internet. Now, the weird thing is that it SHOWS I'm using AT&T and that indeed I am on HSDPA (see pics below). Calling and messaging work fine BTW. If I want to do anything requiring data, the 3G/HSDPA/EDGE connection won't work and I'm forced to use wifi.
I'm tired of hard-reseting and flipping switches on and off... I just hard-reset the bastard one last time and now I wait for your advise. What do I do? Thanks in advance

first, very jealous of you my friend. my guess is you would have to set up at&t apn. i don't know at&t apn setting so you would have to google that. hope you got it to work.
Sweet! I found the APN settings as you said and now I'm fully connected . Thank you very much!

Please help. The phone was working fine before the FRP lock and firmware flash, similar to a any factory unlocked phone
Update:
I did a wipe cache/factory rest as well, no luck.

Well it just needed an active wifi connection to use the net for updates and previous google account. If you forgot your account use an OTG device with a usb, this will automatically open your browser and you can reset it. Check this video.

Hi guys
Have any of you suffered from this?
I got my TMO S6 edge unlocked bought it from a 3rd party about 2 years ago, been working with different companies here in Mexico without any problems, never had any problems with not accepting different cards.
Last night, phone still Ok, but on this morning i wake up and phone has shut-off, and after power on it, now it not longer unlocked, its not accepting any of my sim card from different companies across Mexico, it says "Network locked SIM card inserted"
And getting this screen everytime i reboot

I try with device unlock and it fails with this
I dont have any TMO card
I checked my IMEI on TMO database, it shows status OK
checked also on Mexican organism for it, and it also shows status OK
So i came to think, something like "unlock is gone"
Has any of you have come across something like this?
Really need to be able to recover my phone line x.x
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies

Question How to check whether device is SIM lock or neverlock?

Greetings.
Could you please advise how to check whether I can just insert any of my sim cards or if the device is locked?
I know about this URL https://store.google.com/us/repair
I've tried to post there the IMEI of the phone I wanted to buy, but it looked me the following result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I was concerned about "AT&T" string so I haven't bought this device (just don't want to play with soft unlock).
Does it really show the reality of lock status?
Thank you.
Hi. That's only telling you it's the AT&T "variant" of the Pixel 6 Pro - not that the phone is locked. You might have to call AT&T and give them the IMEI, and see if they can tell you if the device has since been carrier unlocked because I *think* they only unlock the carrier after the original person has paid the phone off.
It has definitely happened before where someone bought a phone recently and only then found they couldn't use it with their carrier because it was locked to a different carrier, so it does happen.
If through your efforts, you can't determine 100% that the phone is now carrier unlocked, I wouldn't take the chance. Buy an already unlocked phone straight from Google, or anyone retailer that sells the factory unlocked model.

Question The system is broken and can't unlock fastboot mod

Hey, so I did something wrong and now I got the system is broken, I've looked on the internet and downloaded the miflashtool, login into my account where my phone is linked but it ask me to add a phone number, something I forgot to do before, problem is I manage to send a text once but the sim was in my phone and I couldn't get the code in time, I tried a second time but all I get "Something went wrong. Try in a minutes or two" and it's been 19 hours since I try to do it, so I'm looking on a way to ass this number once and for all or even bypass the mi account verification
Any idea ?
Update I did manage to add my phone but now I have "Please add your account in MIUI's settings" and I cannot do that since It's bricked....

I did the test point thing and when I try they ask me for an edl auth... I don't know what else to do now, I'd love a little help
Unfortunately, I guess you need to visit the service centre to get it unbricked with locked bootloader.
