Hello,
Is there anyway to unlock a free Xperia M locked to a Portuguese carrier?
Many thnks
Yes but you must unlock this carrier lock. You can do it in a service for some $$$.

Thnks. Can you tell me how I do that?
Go to any mobile service and ask that they can unlock your simlock in xperia m, this should unlock bootloader too.

Bootloader has nothing to do with simlock so it won't unlock the bootloader

I don't want unlock the bootloader, just the simlock...
Unlocking the SIM will not touch the bootloader

Unlock simlock=unlock bootloader
Mine is SIM unlocked and the bootloader isn't unlocked had this question loads of times in the x10 forum and it doesn't do anything to the bootloader as that's just for custom kernels to be flashed if you unlock it via the guides on here SIM lock has nothing to do with the bootloader as the bootloader only runs the operating system boot it has nothing to do with the SIM lock protection wrote into the firmware that carriers put in as an insurance to them so you have to use their network but it can be removed via an unlock code that you enter with the new SIM installed

My eyes!
so... what should I do?
Go to a mobile shop and ask for SIM unlocking or you can search the net for unlocking sites either way you will have to pay for the SIM unlock. And don't worry about the bootloader as it will not unlock that.

Hi everyone ! I have a Xperia Arc LT15i and I found out using *#*#7378423#*#* that I cannot unlock bootloader (Bootloader unlock allowed: No). How I can unlock my bootloader because I want a ROM like CM9 or JJ's Hybrid and it`s must to have bootloader unlock. Please help me with unlocking the bootloader, or please help to find a ROM like CM9 without unlock my bootloader. I want to say that I am not very skilled Waiting for more tips.
download flashtool then Plug in > unlock bootloader
it will guide you to sony's web page, copy paste the code and let flashtool unlock it
Actually JJ's ROM doesn't require an unlocked boot loader.

If you have bootloader unlock allowed:no standing, then you can't unlock it with Sony service, because your IMEI number is then 15 symbols long, so no way for unlocking bl without paying for services like setool

Hi,
If you have bootloader unlock allowed:no , you can unlock it with Omnius :laugh:, but is not free, 15€/unlock .
I unlocked my LT15i with Omnius, I had "unlock allowed:no" before.
So .. I can't unlock my bootloader, only if I paid :crying:
Setool & Omnius links?
you guys got any links related to this Omnius and Setool things? or other alternatives for Xperias stating that unlocking bootloader is not allowed?.. I had thought that if they say so, it was just impossible to unlock...
Unlock for free

just go here unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
I'm starting to get angry I said and ludz179 in answer above you I can not unlock the bootloader so because the Service Info says Bootloader unlock allowed: No
was only giving info you say your phone says cannot unlock boot loader then from wat iv seen there is no way to unlock it.
but there is lots of roms out there that run well on none unlocked bootloaders and using new flashtool seems easy plus using DooMLoRD to root the phone .. I think the only way to do it would be to send it to sony service to unlock but knowing them you go no chance
just trying to help thats all
Can't help enquiring.You mention that there are several roms that are available which does not need to have the bootloader unlock.Could you give me the links please.

I think the date 12w28 is currently an issue to unlock with the TestPoint method from what I've read.

that's what i thought.
Is there a dev team anyone knows of who work especially on hacking sonyericsson(now sony) handsets just like the ios dev team for the iphone-ipad family?
it would be refreshing to know if there is effort being put into that or to get tweets indicating process, i don't mean to be rude here just asking out of curiosity. Got my arc s for 3 months now and still can't use it with a sim card. And returning the phone is no option for me cause i bought it abroad thinking a new unlock is due date.
hi
just got an Xperia S noticed that its sim free but the bootloader unlock statue is not allowed on the service menu, any thoughts guys?
Bootloader and SIM unlock are two entirely different things. SIM unlock just allows the use of different carriers while bootloader unlock allows for changing system files otherwise locked from being accessed or changed and stops the use of fast boot.

I bought it used, I thought as long as it is sim free, it was bought contract free so it should be factory bootloader unlocked. How to enter fastboot mode anyway ?
If bootloader unlocked allowed = no it means you cant unlock it

If it was baught from a mobile carrier , most likely , it had been simlocked and the user either sim-unlocked by himself or from carrier... then it could be bootloader not unlockable... check by entering *#*#7378423#*#*.
im having the same issue... i will call the carrier to see if i can send to hell the warranty a little bit..
I have XS with simlock and root allowed no, how can I remove the sim lock an unlocked it? When I remove the simlock, I will have root allowed yes?
Sorry for my bad english
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I guess you can sim unlock via pay method, by your carrier or some site.
Root without BL unock- yes every XS.
Bootloader unlock - no
Even with code to sim unlock, bootlader status stays NO
Thats the difference betwen 2011 xperias and 2012

I unlocked my bootloader a while ago and have been running PecanCM's version of CyanogenMod 11, i just tried a different sim but its still carrier locked. Does this mean i still have to purchase an unlock code?
Bootloader unlocking doesn't sim-unlock your phone.
