How to unlock Xperia P to all GSM networks? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello i want to ask if there is any guide how to unlock this phone to all GSM networks. I am O2 and want to buy phone from T-mobile from my friend, but T-mobile lock their phones. I was searching for some guide,but i found just bootloader unlocking and i dont know if it is the same because i dont understand these things much.
Maybe here is a thread about this, i dont know. If yes, just give me a link and this thread can be deleted in order to dont spam forum.

You can't do it without getting an unlock code from T-Mobile.

Well there is a generator, but you can't have it Actually carriers often unlock devices for a fee.

Hi, There is no guide but you can instructions on unlocking a phone, there are a lot of methods available so for. I always suggest, for the unlocking, contacting our telecom service provider is the one of the ways to get the unlocking code or contacting service provider like theunlockspot.com might be an another way to get an unlocking code. The direct unlocking codes can be received in those two ways I mentioned. Thanks.

[Q] when it will be sim unlock (no code)

does anybody know when it wil be sim unlock like on other htc devices?
i`m sick sheet codes.
anybody???
come on guys
there is no chance that no tender
share it with humanity
you must either get the original provider to give you the unlock code, or go to one of the various unlocking sites and give them your imei # and hope their code works
goodluck
Could you be more precise as to what you mean?
If you are talking about sim-lock: You will need to aask your network provider.
If you are talking about cid-lock: Use HSPL
I do not unserstand what you mean with "sheet codes" (I think you mean cheat codes, but how that relates to a locking problem, i cannot imagine)
I am sorry (No insult intended), but your english is so bad people probably do not understand what you mean.

Xperia X10 At&t unlock

Hi all, I am really new to this forum.
First of all I would like to apologize if this is a double post.
Can some one please help me unlock the X10 from at&t.
I would always unlock att phones by calling their costumer service but they were not able to generate or give me the key to my X10 for some reason. I wonder if there is another way to unlock the phone so i can use sim frm other carriers.
I'm interested as well =)
Is there a free way to unlock phone from AT&T ?
Firstly, the search function at the top works wonders guys, this is one of the most widely posted issues.
There are two solutions I see frequently:
website htccode.com
user lancez on this forum
as i mentioned earlier im a noob in this forum. I could not find anything with the search function either. Could you please elaborate on the user lancer you mentioned.

Don't take No for an answer from AT&T. By law, at least in the USA, AT&T has to give you the unlock code 90 days into your contract. Just gotta ask for it.... so they say anyway. Try taking it in to the store. The other ways, like Lance, cost $30+. AT&T should be FREE!

With a custom ROM you have UNBRANDED the phone but not unlocked it. Unlocking it means that you can put any SIM card into it so that if you travel to the EU or other GSM areas you can get a local SIM card much cheaper than an international plan for ATT.
It also doesn't mean that suddenly you have new wireless frequencies either, so if you put in a T-Mobile sim card you won't get their 3G/H or any EU 3G/H.
Some people have reported that your phone will show ROAM when on ATT after unlocking but this shouldn't be a problem as you are a ATT contract holder.
Don't worry i will help you to Unlock Your Sony Ericsson Phones from Network Lock,You can use the Unlock Code to unlock it from Network lock,But you can get the code from Online site...You can get the Unlock code from the site www.simpleunlocking.com and Unlock it......They get the code from Network Data base and provide to you.
for codes you can contact your service provider or can get it from online providers

[Q] Network locked

Last few days I've been reading and searching the forum up and down, to find some useful info about how to bypass network lock.... so far I'm even more confused than I was before.
The problem: my phone is locked to specific network and doesn't work with sim card from another provider. Is it possible to unlock it so I can use it on other networks?
Is it solvable? Does rooting help?
I've read a few threads about s-off, is that the thing I need ?
Thanks to the guys willing to help.
This might help?

Usually you can call your network provider and get an unlock code. Root and s off not related. S off not possible at the moment anyways.

They don't want to help me, because they want to force me to use their network sim while im out of my county, but roaming is way too expensive and cant afford it atm
Just ask around your area where you live and you'll find someone to sim unlock your phone (if not then try local market) or you could even buy the unlock code and do it yourself

guys, buying code is probably the last thing I'll do...
First of all I'm new in android but I'm curious more than enough, and I want to learn things... It would be great if senior or more experienced members share their thoughts on what's right and what's wrong and eventually save me a lot of time and nerves. It's funny how there are so few threads about unlocking network ? Perhaps because it's the fastest way to make good money for some ppl ?
I do have experience in maintenance of Linux systems, but I have no previous experience in rooting/unlocking or what so ever related to smart phones.
So ..... It would be great if any senior/experienced members shared their knowledge/experience on this subject (how to unlock phone so it can be used on different providers.)
As far as I can see Hasoon2000 AIO kit makes rooting as simple as it can get.... but will that remove network lock? I don't need to install any other access privileged apps, demanding games.....
ahhhhmmm..... :

Rooting doesn't SIM unlock the phone. It's not related to it at all.

I already told you that. There are tools for other devices, but not ours. The network should give the code, follow up with them, otherwise buy a code.

Fracking network provider. They say they will void any warranty if I use any unlocking code.... this is turning into nightmare.....
This is the last time I'll put my signature on any of their papers for sure....
Anyway frack them, any one can suggest me good, working online unlocking service that really works?
I think someone unlocked successfully using unlock-now.net

You can get the S58Data cleared via JTAG, that means your phone should be sim/network unlocked.
But you have to find some shop/person to have such a JTAG box...

It's Unlocked as you suggested, every thing works as it should. Thank you very much Sir!
btw. For all sin souls who bought phone from !!! carrier - VIP country - Macedonia !!!, avoid buying codes online, they are wrong, VIP operator has replaced original HTC codes with their own codes, which you can't have (they won't give them to you) ....
Thanks to all other guys for suggestions.
Glad you got it sorted out
Thanks for getting back to us, will help others. Network operators getting a bit uppity these days.

Truth about unlocking a Lumia 920

Hey guys, whats up ?
I'm planning on buying a used Lumia 920 from eBay and wanted to know if there is a legitimate way to unlock this phone.
I've read threads about AT&T not giving the unlock codes online anymore and that you have to be a customer in order to do so. Is this true ?
If so, what are other legitimate ways that i can unlock this phone, i really want to know this, Thanks for the help. Awaiting responses.

You can unlock it with code. You can buy that code from random sites. Search here or google.
It costs about 60 $.
Ok thanks for the heads up. Are there any FREE ways to get it unlocked ?
Some with at&t accounts, but i don't know about that. I have paid for unlocking.
As far as I know, there isn't any way for unlocking yet for free.
For unlocking ............. Lumia 920

Unlocking for other companies

Hi, does unlocking my cellphone to make it work with all companies lock it in my country? My cellphone is from Chile, I talk with Claro there. I am in Canada and I want to unlock it to Bell or any other companies. If I had it unlocked for Bell, would it work back home?
Ps. if you know of any unlocking services would you please tell me. Thanks :good:

Yes once it is unlocked it will work with any GSM carrier in the world. I am assuming you are talking about a GSM phone here.
Besides unlocking services, usually your home carrier will give you the unlock code for free and the instructions of where to enter in that code in your phone to unlock it, if you tell them you need to unlock it because you are traveling abroad. Usually they want you to have owned the phone for a while (like 6 months for some carriers) before they give you the code though. No harm in trying to ask the customer care.
I asked my home carrier for a unlocking code, they said they would contact the cellphone manufacturer and get it in about 3 weeks, which is too long. Does anyone know of another faster option? Thanks... If I can do it by myself that would be excellent too
Hey thanks for the great information but you know what, I couldn't find my device there... it's a Moto G!
Do you know of other good sites to unlock? Thanks!

I don't use iPhone, sorry, I use Moto G
alright, well i dont know which carrier my cellphone is locked to since i bought it to a friend who bought it from another friend in Chile and in chile the phones are unlocked to all chilean companies...anyways I contacted motorola and they said they could provide the subsidy code in 72 hours... ill let you know
hey, Motorola actually called me and gave me 2 subsidy codes and none worked....!!!! i actually double checked the IMEI number and they said it was correct, so I guess i'll have to use one of them unlock websites.... does anyone knows if eBay is safe to do that?
many thanks =)
