Hi,
I have an X10i branded Bouygues Telecom (France) fw 2.1.A.0.435, baseband 2.1.54. My phone is Simlocked in Bouygues network but the operator will provide me the free sim unlock code in 6 months (not now).
So I want to know if I flash my phone with another firmware (generic or custom), and another baseband, I will still unlock my phone with the same code ?
or I have to flash back to original branded Bouygues Rom to enter de sim unlock code ?
Thank you for your answers.
Please answer my question !
You don't have to flash the original firmware just to unlock SIM.

Once unlocked the phone will remain unlocked, it will not revert back to the locked status after flashing the rom.
I presume that you have unlocked it using the code from the provider or a third party?
I think that what he's really asking is that, if flashing the device would make any difference when the time of unlocking the device come... Actually, no matter what you do to the device the IMEI is going to remain the same, IMEI is a unique combination of number that each phone has, which is the information they use to generate the unlock code. So, feel free to play with new roms on your device... It won't make any difference.
I hope this helps you...

Hi everyone,
I have a X10a BL unlocked right now using MIUI Oddie v10 default kernel (FXP).
And about 4 day ago in my country every company is offering free sim unlock for all cell-phone. (we got a new law ).
We can achieve the sim unlocking introducing the IMEI of our cellphone and our cell-number in the carrier web page, but the PIN they send me is not working only in this phone.
Do i need to downgrade my firmware bts?
Thank you.

You could try the Flash tool given to us by Bin4ry and flash generic then follow the standard rom guide, thats how i did mine unlocked from Vodafone to originally get 2.3 standard, but lead to more xD

DonutHD 2.3.4
SE Kernel
Relock ur bootloader then try pal. If it works, don't unlock again (unless u used s1tool u may lose radio).

It may be a carrier lock, but if you dimiss it and can still call and send messages, you should be fine.
This a ROM failure that I discovered on my active, as I live in Norway, but I can live with it.
if have the xperia x10 mini pro sim unlocked by software if change the stock 2.1 rom to another rom, the Sim unlock will be gone?
No, SIM unlock is independent of the ROM. dont worry, flash another rom.
thanks for the answer.
i'm asking this because I read somewhere that if you sim unlocked the device by Software the unlock me be gone, but if you unlocked by imei it won't be gone

You're confused with bootloader unlock and sim unlock. Sim-unlock allows you to use any network-provider on your phone, Bootloader-unlock allows you to install a custom kernel to your phone.
If you want to unlock the bootloader to flash a custom kernel, your network may be lost, because your phone wasn't sim-unlocked using an imei code, but it's not that your sim-lock is activated again.
You can get your network back by flashing back to stock Sony Ericsson kernel and then restoring your bootloader using S1Tool.
