[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nickholtus:
IMPORTANT PRELIMINARY EXPLANATIONS:

It is necessary to read and understand everything that is and why all these claims and concepts of the process

SONY (Android models) has two limitations in terminal operator: 1) Lock SimLoc k. - It's what makes that you can not insert another operator's SIM card. 2) Lock FastBoot. - is compared to other terminals of other brands , a kind of mode Download, Boot, ... , From which you can install Roms, Mods, root.

It really is quite a bit more complex but roughly explained you will understand it all better. To check the status of these two blocks there is a hidden menu on SONY. Open the terminal dialer and dialing * # * # 7378423 # * # * (numbers correspond to the positions of the word SERVICE) will see a menu: Entering Service Info> SIM Lock is blocked we'll see if it puts us SimLock a [x] in Network Configuration Entering see if we blocked as we will Rooting Fastboot Status: Bootloader Unlock Allowed = NO When you buy a terminal open, on the hidden states: SIMLOCK = NOT ALLOW = Yes Bootloader Unlock This means that can be used with any operator and that "you can open the bootloader." It says it is open or not, but you can and as you can, it goes to the Sony website, is requested to open the bootloader code as there is no restriction to boot FastBoot way we can. When removed the state operator is as follows: SIMLOCK = YES = NO ALLOW Bootloader Unlock means that we can only use it with the operator provided it to us. And much to go to Sony to get the code to open the Bootloader, then we can not get him because Fastboot mode (to activate the bootloader) is NOT ALLOWED. If an operator does not have tenure, MUST GIVE FULL unlock code , which is the general rule that facilitate the operators. And we can use the handset with other companies, but we can not rootearlo as a free terminal because this requires opening the bootloader and it is necessary to boot into FastBoot, which STILL OPERATOR castrated. And to allow that there is a code like SimLock release that opens put it .... both the SimLock and "Bootloader Unlock ALLOW" to get to YES. With that we have the terminal in the same conditions as the free. Then it is up to each user, which ALLOWS SONY, open the bootloader to install root or cooked roms. For these reasons, the claim began, as traders know that TOTAL unlock code, and Sony refused to facilitate it does not know whether we stay or not and therefore whether or not we entitled to it.

GOT THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THIS COMMUNITY HAS BEEN CLAIMED AND POLICY CHANGE GET SONY WORLDWIDE HOWEVER COULD TURN OUR OPERATOR TERMINAL TERMINAL IN A COMPLETELY FREE. MOST IMPACTED THIS DEVELOPMENT FOR THESE TERMINALS AND OF COURSE MORE WORLDWIDE SALES FOR SONY. ALL HAPPY.

Since the problem was that Sony really did not know whether or not we were entitled to FULLY unlock, has reached an agreement. If after having released the terminal through the Simlock (WHICH IS FREE AND CONFIRMS but is really 50%) you get in touch with the customer service of Sony Xperia in questions.es @ support.sonymobile.com e-mail indicating your IMEI and unlock code SimLock confirming that if correct, you know what free whatever the case and therefore will provide the unlock code Fastboot's FULL. WITH ALL THAT WE LEFT THE TERMINAL WAS PURCHASED AS IF FREE. After that, depending on whether a XperiaU, a XperiaS, Xperia P, you should follow the procedures published in the forums to open the Bootloader from the SONY website like any other user with the handset purchased FREE and be able to ROOT or any mod / Rom. STEPS: As has become clear throughout the process, summarize to make it even clearer: 1) We release the ends SimLock l If you stay you should call your carrier for you right to give it you for FREE. Depending on the operator usually take 4 to 15 days. If you can stay paying third release ( http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=373931 ) 2) After the end liberate the Simlock l have for So the code release confirming that it is released, send an email to Sony more or less like this to seek the release of FastBoot :

Recipient : questions.es @ support.sonymobile.com

Subject : Request release of Xperia FastBoot S - IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Body : Good 's morning / afternoon . I have a XperiaS (or whatever) which has no permanence for any operator I have the unlock code Simlock that the operator has given me. therefore call FastBoot unlocking that would change the "Rooting Status: Bootloader Unlock Allowed" to YES to have the same privileges as a free terminal and power later if you wish to apply in your opening web Bootloader and apply root, which is impossible now for me the above limitation obviously I should not have and not having a permanent terminal. This facilitated the data from my terminal: IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (the leaving dialing * # 06 * in the terminal dialer) SimUnlock Code: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (which you have provided to free simlock and confirm that the terminal is released) Model: XPeriaS Email: fulanito@gmail.com Tel: 666111222 No another individual, received a warm greeting and await your response. Thank you. Fulanito

3 ) SONY we can respond with several cases:

* Let us say that the code is incorrect. If you gave it to the operator, the operator calls you send it by email and not forward to SONY. This confirms that you provided the operator has legally. If you refuse, you have to justify it with the invoice showing that has no permanence.

* You tell us directly that the request is in progress. A WAIT. If you want you can call 902882250 should take time to answer to see how the case, but WE DO NOT HEAVY. * Let us know a date of collection to do it. THIS IS GOOD. Call or reply to see what day we collect the terminal. We are given the deadline 15 days to return it to us. CALM ... do it to avoid catching fingers over time. In 1 week you will surely back home FREE AND FULLY UNLOCKED. .......... WE HAVE THE TERMINAL AS IF PURCHASED WAS FREE. Search the forums on your terminal as rootearlo, apply mods, roms, etc. and enjoy!. Check from the menu that is well hidden and it's free: WARRANTY: Unlocking and simlock Fastboot LOSE NO WARRANTY IMPLIED. CONFIRMED WITH SONY. In doing IDENTICAL TO A TERMINAL IS PURCHASED FREE, with Simlock and Fastboot open. Also then if you open the Bootloader from the Sony website as do those with the terminal to get FREE ORIGIN root, NOR is lost warranty. Under the conditions of SONY do not say yes or no. Simply "RESERVE" the right to give or not depending on the problem. That is ..... if you opened it and got involved only root to do full backups, using specific apps that require root but do not involve misuse of the terminal, Sony does not have to tell you goodbye warranty. And even less if the issue where the send is a recognized problem and common (as the problem of yellow on the screens of the first production runs, going from 41 ° the terminal due to gas produced by the glue that stuck the pantalals ). Another thing is you do root, do overclock and burn the mic and send it to the SAT. Obviously not a terminal problem and they know it is not a common known fault. And if you look above that and you've unlocked the bootloader ... well, goodbye warranty. Say you open the bootloader does not mean losing the warranty but Sony after it and send the SAT if the terminal will look with some little finer the problem that if you had not opened never know what could not be anything to manipulate and therefore insurance cover you.
