I recently bought a t-mobile UK branded x10 from ebay...
I wanted to unlock it..
I have read all the posts all over INTERNET. The cheapest service i found on ebay was for 18 pounds(not verified still) with a unlock code.
Whereas the for x10a rogers and At&t it was for some 5 dollars!!!
I also read unlocking by cable. It says i have to buy credits for at least 10 phones.. that will cost me a lot !
I wanted to ask if there is a method to unlock it for free or cheaper...
can somebody suggest me the how to unlock it ..
Thanks in advance !!!
I am a newbie to android..This website is like the temple to all andoid guys!!!
PS:Waiting to get the xda app on my x10i soon

The only way is to pay, so find the cheapest you can.

First - try to contact your seller. If it worked, use official way if your seller is a current TMO customer. He should have active account for at least 90 days (as I remember) and have street address since they send unlock code by regular mail. It costs 15GBP. Usually it it doesn't work - who cares after successful transaction?
I used cable service of pretty well known "Sweden GSM". It costs $40. It took me around half an hour from payment till unlocking.
Another worked at least for two people from this forum service - by code. You'll get the code in 5-7 days after payment. It costs a little cheaper - $36.5.
The thread with all this info and personal experience:
[Q] AT&T X10a carrier unlock
Both contacts are at page 4, but better to read all thread - for info and for feedback from different services.
Hey thanx a lot Che Kirila and XperiaX10iUser.. i am trying to find call up the seller... to get the unlock for me .. If not then search elsewhere...
i read the post .. i will try contacting them for the code..
thanks for guiding me..
P.S: just wondering why the unlock so tough to find..... Its been quite long x10i has been in market.. still no crack available !

It depends on the lock technology. Encoding with open and private key technically unbreakable (time to bruteforce is too long), but there is simpler way - SE can just generate random numbers and write down them to the database, so no crack, the only way is to steal whole database.

Hi, has anyone succesfully unlocked their x10's?
I have tried about 8 mobile phone shops and they either do not have the software yet or they can not yet do mine as it as the up to date software and I will have to wait 4-6 weeks for an undated code...something along them lines anyway. I am not very technical lol.
Please let me know Thanks

I wouldn't trust ferraripassion. By the looks of his signature, he is from the same company that sold me a non-working code for my HTC Tattoo and stopped answering emails when I requested a refund.
That is, of course, unless I'm very much mistaken.
HI Ferraripassion. I sent you a PM
That's a heavy price!

Can anybody help me? i am getting a new simcard tommorow and have a locked X10 so i wont be able to use it
even pay servers i dont mind!!
Orange UK does something special with their locked handsets... they have to... unlocking a rogers x10 is like 5 USD.
I got mine unlocked via a person on this forum, ferraripassion, i think. i would give their website but i don't think i'm allowed. but their website unlocks handsets from another manufacturer - they have the instructions for the xperia x10 on their forum. They charged 40 USD and they were able to do it in a half hour (connect the phone to your computer, they remote into your computer, run software and done)
Before, I had ordered an unlock code from a different website. They were a little cheaper and promised 24-28 hours. BS. 2 weeks later they had nothing. I constantly sent emails, etc. I got fed up and threatened to do a charge back, in spite of their 21 day policy since they obviously weren't doing anything except changing the status manually. The code eventually came in about 4-5 weeks after my order. A waste of my time though.
I just fear that am gonna be stuck with a t-mobile simcard for weeks without a phone to use it on :/ .. shame it was a awsome £7.50 a month deal with them 600 mins unlimited text & unlimited internet ..
wiped the floor with orange but i wont be able to use it unless i sort this blinking thing out first!!!!
mobileincanada dot com worked for me, same day service and unlock worked.

As I know, T-Mobile UK and Orange UK are joined together. Ask T-Mobile UK customer service about that. I think, I saw this sort of questions at the TMO UK customer service forum and that should be free.
By the way the X10 unlocking is actual now again since the unlocking server is down and all those "$40-services" are temporary down too. Look like all of them did their business through Sony Ericsson server and actually didn't have any own know-how. It is possible that actually this server is up long ago, but they cut off the access to this feature or found an employee, who sold access (see levels of EMMA).
Look like I need somebody from T-Mobile UK to order unlock code too (this service is for current customers with street address for receiving paper mail).
hi xda developers!
my uncle sent me an xperia x10 which is originally orange locked so i want to unlock it to use here in philippines. i tried to bring it to the technicians and they're charging me lot of cost and i don't even have a visa card or credit card to buy unlock codes or software online...so can you guys please help me to sort this problem out? please
You can't unlock the phone. There is a software mod to unlock but not sure if you can find it. You will have to buy the code/unlock . I don't see anything else
Damn there was a site for this that was free! Only I forgot it... I will try to search for it for you!
thanks so much! will greatly appreciate your help to sort this out...thanks!
i just noticed, where did my other comment go? is there something wrong with my post?
Do you mean sim locked?
yes it is....
hey guys can you please check this out?

is there any other way i can unlock my x10 for free?
Yeah, I think Omnius *used* to have an option to unlock the X10 for free during a promotional period about a year ago for a couple weeks. I'm not sure if they could have done any of the Orange branded X10s.
Unfortunately, Orange is one of the most difficult (and costly) phones to unlock. The absolutely cheapest way for you to unlock it is to call Orange and see if they'll be kind enough to unlock it (I think Orange UK charges 20-25 Pounds or so, unsure of Orange France).
Only other option is to go with one of the remote unlockers. There are a couple companies that can send you a code with your IMEI but expect to wait around 25 days to save a few (and i do mean, few) dollars.

hey
i just started browsing around for you and whenever i got a carrier locked phone i always used IMEI unlock codes
try this http://www.cellunlocker.net/blog/2010/06/how-to-unlock-sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/
thanks for all your response, actually orange uk is charging 20 pounds to unlock it but unfortunately my uncle wasn't able to organize it as it was already sent to me via dhl. i don't know if they will still allow it to be unlocked as it's already here in philippines. I've been trying to browse around the unlockers to get a code or software to unlock it but as what i've seen there are lots of issues like:
on htccode what i saw just now is their system is seem down as per some client's recent posts who are wanting to get their money back.
and some other unlockers offer the code but will have to wait for 5-10 days. i know this is absurd but i have an itchy hand now so i really want to unlock it really quick and use it right away.
anyway thanks to all of you... if i get to unlock this soon i will post it here.
Hi! I'm also looking for the cheapest code, but for now, the winner is mrunlock for 20 pounds... I don't know if I can trust it... Have you find something cheaper???
I have searched the last fiew weeks on the internet for an free unlock method. But i haven't found anything working. Then i asked in a phone shop if they would do it. They told me that they had found something here on this website. So i searched here on xda. But i've foun nothng working on X10 with stock ROM 2.3.3 or other ROMs... So if anyone could help me and solve my probleme. If there is no other way I will unlock it in a phone shop for about 35€... I think it's too much, but i'm not sure if this internet - shops are serious....
I know my english is bad but i hope you were able to read my Questions.
thanks, Meikl96
What are you looking for ? is it phone unlocking or SIM unlocking?
If its just phone unlocking and installing custom ROMS then you need a flash utility and the rom itself and both you can down load.
If you are looking for sim unlcok then i'm not sure how to go about
well for SIM unlock, the only way is to let phone shops unlock it for the price.. AFAIK there's no way to unlock sim for free. you need to have a account with "credits" (that's what they call it) that phone shops only have. I got my sim unlocked for not less than 15 minutes.. ^^
yeah, i've asked in one of these shops but they want me to pay pay 30€ for this and it would take a week... I just thaught that there would any free way, because i've done it with another Phone (LG GD 880) wich was locked on T-Mobile Germany. It was easy to find this code generators but SE takes random keys....So its nearly impossible to get an code for free. but there was an thread a few months ago where sb sayed that he would do it for free...I don't know his name anymore....
I have asked in some shops in Vienna, Austria but no one can unlock it with setool.
They say the servers are not online
My question, I have unlockes the sim on a homepage but I would like to unlock the boot loader now.
I do not care much about the sim unlock since I have another unlocked phone. How can I unlock the boot loader?

Try http://omnius-server.com/ . It's free for sony ericsson devices up to Arc (X10 included).
I do not know of any free method, but looking on eBay I recently found a seller that unlock my phone (Orange UK) for about 20GBP.
Unfortunately, the item that I bought it's no longer available and the seller no longer offers this service for Xperia x10.
Depends on the carrier, you may also find a lower price.

Just call the AT&T international support number and they will give you the code for free assuming the phone is clean.. There are links to the number as well as chat that takes less than a minute all over the 20 or so unlock threads all ready here.

How do you think everyone else has done it that is not with AT&T? Tell them you got the phone a gift and your about to travel to your providers area what ever that is and that you need it unlocked to use it in that area.

I called 4 times the AT & T support line which has very nice and friendly people there , but they cant give me an unlock code because my phone is not AT & T branded, the system doesn't give them out an unlock code when they got my Imei in it.
If your phone is not from at & t or one of their partners, dont try it it is useless.
Thx anyhow for your help guys

Then who is your phone branded by? You should be able to put the IEMI number into Google and get back info on it. If it is not AT&T then you will have to go with one of the unlocking services that will charge you to do it and could take a few minutes to a few days.
