Hi,
Im thinking of debranding my vodafone branded x10i. I brought my x10 second hand. It was originally vodafone, But it looks like the previous owner had it sim unlocked. Which im now using o2 sim in it.
What i would like to know is that, if i debrand it. Will the phone wont re-lock??
In the service menu it says:
[] Network 5
[] Network subset 5
[] Service provider 5
[] Corporate 5
[] Sim 0
What does this mean?
The reason im asking is because, I debranded a old SE phone, and it re- locked the sim, which i had to pay again to get unlocked
Any help would be much appreciated

hi all. i will buy tomorrow an hd2 which is locked on vodafone Romania. can you tell me if there is a sim unlock for free? if it's not, which website or "way" is safer to use it for unlocking? also, if you know a cheaper one i don't mind . I need to be unlocked fast (let's say in 1h after i pay, maximum). Thank you very much.
P.S. i've tried to search on hd2 thread but didn't find nothing about this.
that should be possible
search how to preform a HSPL install and how to update ROM
There is no free sim unlock solution , hspl install does not unlock sim .
Contact korter_gsm on ebay
He sent me a code in less than 2 minutes.
ok. i will contact him.
i saw now his posts, but a little problem that i have is that I don't need to unlock T-mobile version, but European version (vodafone romania). do you know any other place?
P.S. does anybody know something about this website?
or about this website?
HI there. Its korter_GSM from Ebay.
Regarding Vodafone Romania HD2 want to tell you. I have all HD2 codes including newest ones with IMEI 038 and 039 in the middle. But as you may already read somewhere, there are some operators that relocked the phones after receiving them from factory. So as we are providing only Factory codes, for some operators it may be wrong. Tmobile USA and many other operators dont have this issue and code for them are 100% correct. For Vodafone Romania i never checked.
for example. For A1 Austria Factory codes are wrong!
If any other question, contact me at Email [email protected]
or MSN [email protected]
i've made it in Romania, with 25 euro. thx all!

make sure you put the sim in the correct way, also make sure the sim works
if you put a sim in a simlocked xperia it just gives you emergency only, but you should be able to access sim card (for example phone contacts on sim)
hope this helps

thanks for the replay.
i tried from a another sim card also. it is a working sim card.
i tried to view contacts from it. but it says "No contacts on your SIM card"
and no signal bar on the top
and i manually search the network . and it shows all the networks that use. but i cant manually register on a network.
it tells your sim card is not allowed the connection for this network.
why is that. please help me!!!!

I do have my Docomo SO-01B SIM unlocked code purchased from a Web site. It was cost USD$19.95
Actually, it's not blocked, but rather locked due to its nature of being contracted to NTT Docomo. You have to either use a SIM card from Docomo (which is impossible, since you'd need to be in Japan to use it, and roaming costs you a fortune, so let's not choose this) or remove the SIM lock.

please tel me how remove the SIM lock. ?
I'm sorry but I don't know as I've never had this problem. You might get more help if you create a new thread in the Q&A section. Make sure the title is something like "How to remove SIM lock?" and include the details of your phone, except your IMEI. Just tell them what model, and which provider you bought it from (in your case, NTT Docomo SO-01B, the Japanese version of Sony Ericsson Xperia X10).

hi sir,i have the same problem with you...if you already unlock ur phone.can u give me some ideas please..
So I bought a Lumia 800 of someone and it's supposed to be unlocked. Unfortunately he packed the box by wrapping it in tape so the bar-code sticker is unreadable. My simcard gives the error "This Simcard can only be used on a specific network. Contact your Customer Service centre for the unlock code". But the problem is that under phone information the carrier/privder being listed is "Norway SW VariantID 430 v.05". It doesn't list a carrier but only a country as you can see. What does this mean?
i had the same problem
i bought lumia 800 (SIM free in UK) and used it on lyca mobile.
when i returned to india, when i installed airtel/vodafone it is not allowing.
Carrier: CV GB SW ID222 V08
After some googling... i found out that my phone is "Unbranded and Unlocked", GB version phone
i think it works only in that region..

or search for a little phone's repair shop in your city/town, which have ATF flasher box. With that box, you can sim-unlock your Lumia 800
Hi,
I have just bought a supposedly sim free lumia off ebay only to find it has Vodafone firmware on it and its locked to Vodafone.I could go through all the ballache of sending it back to the seller but thought id check out my options first. I have a giffgaff sim (o2)
Is there a way of unlocking the phone for free?
and/or is there a way of flashing generic firmware onto the phone?
Thanks
Rik

Hi,
You need to ask T-Mobile to provide a code of simunlocking.
You can maybe also go through a specialized service on Internet.
Tried theunlockingcompany, they said the manufacturer hasn't released the unlocking code. So does that mean that no such unlocking company has it?
I try 7 place and no one can get unlock code network .... And i need a sim sprint to just activate mine im living canada
Same issue, folks. I'm having Indian LMG850EMW.AINVBK (LMG850EMW1). Need an Indian provider SIM card.
But I'm living in Russia and have no idea how to get it...
