This is taking way too long lol, I have decided to sell my Xperia ION which is locked to AT&T and as of right now it is unlock-able. If Sony wants to sell more phones like Samsung they need to do what Samsung is doing. I remember I unlocked my SG2 which is my current phone by rooting and running an app from Google Play.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
I don't understand why everyone is so impatient. If you wanted your phone carrier unlocked since day one, you should have purchased an unlocked phone. Plain and simple. Everyone is all now now now, needy needy needy. Calm down, be patient. These things don't happen over night. It WILL happen, its just a matter of when. And I'm tired of hearing people say Samsung this, Samsung that... if you want a Samsung, go buy one, otherwise, chill out and wait. People have lives outside of the android world... some people, have limited time they can spend on development. Want it faster??? Do it yourself!

Well put. There is a troll on the talk.sonymobile.com forums and all he talks about is how bad the ion is and complains that it shipped with GB and says the One X and Galaxy S3 are so much better they are. You buy a phone knowing what it comes with and its restrictions. Stop complaining if you can't get around that right away.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
personally, I'm happy with development being in its infant stages for this phone. It means more time to learn. The introduction of new developers, new methods, new knowledge. Its kind of a nice surprise to jump online and see something new everyday. To be able to contribute something new when I can... To me, its kinda fun. So much better than the typical, buy a phone, root it immediately, play for a week or two with several rooms, rinse, repeat. Just saying... ill hush now. Lol

When God lays he hand on your phone and says "Be unlocked"

Seriously though-no time line
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
am i late to the unlock party? i bought lt28at for a friend of mine, when read there is an unlock available and now it should arrive in a week and it isn't available anymore?:rolleyes: will i have an mp3 player now and leave it to me ?:rolleyes: sigh
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
There one that works right,but the vendor is a bit slow and costs about $40 or so dollars
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
yes, i saw that, just read a lot of confusing info about some sony site closing down and such. that would totally work. slow , but succesful i need:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aratta:
you think this phone will be not unlocked in far future?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
Depends on how many developers are wanting to work with this phone and how hard it is to unlock it. Otherwise we are waiting on Sony to make it happen. At least for free that is.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aratta:
God bless developers!!! hope for fast unlocking device..... hope its possible
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bryan858:
Still no updates from fastgsm... Already bored of my recently unlocked iPhone 4. Ahahaha
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
installed msn to contact microunlocker and he said "server shut down sorry, temporary, no schedule, will let you know" . sad.

btw, i searched for other capable sites and cellunlocker now has the ion in the list.and here it is priced 35eur.,ireland, but maybe they could help with american simlocks... anyone wanna give those a call or a try?

i would , but my xperia ion is still shipping.

I don't know anything about rooting or flashing of phones but I found this method of putting. ICS on Xperia lt28at. tips4droid.com/how-to-update-sony-xperia-ion-lt28at-lt28i-to-ics-and-get-root-access/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Please check other threads to see if things have already been posted. We already have that info and may of us are already running OCS on our AT&T ions.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] enzotarece:
So u can use any network with the phone that's what I want to know
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
No. sim unlocking has nothing to do with firmware. No matter what firmware you put on the LT28 at it is still sim locked to AT&T.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mista Panda:
Do t blame you haha, I had an iPhone for about 2 weeks before I sold it. I wasn't able to handle not having control over my phone :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
you can try the links i posted and let everyone know if it works :cowboy:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] enzotarece:
Oh OK kool am going to take it to a man he say he can unlock it for a $100 I will see if he can
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
do you read me at all? i posted couple links to unlock for ~40$... but hey , sure, it's your money:good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bryan858:
Ahahaha, yea funny thing is I was sitting on my iPhone 4 for almost a year because I never had a way to unlock it till recently. I don't want to wait that long to use my ion...

Update on fastgsm. Looks like they were not able to unlock it and are issuing me a refund.

I'll research the $40.00 deal again and hopefully the guy will respond this time.

I just got an email from AT&T where I requested unlock code for where I'm leaving country for 2 months for mission trip, and it was a 15 digit unlock code, took 4 days after submitting request to get the email..head's up for those that need it, and aren't on contract.

this is all false my xperia ion is on tmobile running 3g speeds i unlocked it through the xperia unlocking software and went to tmobile and got a micro sim for 20 bucks.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] randy_c:
Can you share how you unlock using xperia unlocking software?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
What xperia unlocking software? Was yours an ion bought from at&t?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bryan858:
So AT&T was able to provide you with an unlock code? Are you on contract with at&t or an at&t subscriber at all?

I no longer am so I'll have to get a hold of the person I got my phone from if ever....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xyberknight:
Yes, I submitted for unlock code for overseas travels, and it took 4 days to get an email response with a code and instructions inside. I haven't been under contract since November of 2011 with any one, just pay for service.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
i just paid $40 for unlock and on the site besides the turnaround time it's said:

*Cingular / AT&T (This does not include manufacturer methods)

Sony Ericsson 2 – 5 minutes

Sony Ericsson New Models 2-6 Business Days (Xperia Ion)

so i think they know their shizt. please advice, if for some reason this unlock won't unlock bootloader, is there a way to install the international rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
Yes, you can install the international rom and the chinese ICS versions using Flashtool
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bryan858:
Please reference the site and inform us if the CARRIER unlock works.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] derekmhma:
Haha. There is no end to this thread. I wonder if I call AT&T and explain my situation and see if they would kindly release the unlock code to me. I dont mind pay it.

Or someone please reply with the details of solution. That would be great. We just want to use the AT&T Ion on a different carrier.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
i will. but earlier this thread i posted those links already and begged for someone to experiment before my ion will be delivered to ukraine and what. no one cared . :mad:

if it all works, i will let know.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
Personally, I don't think no one cared, it is just we have limited amount of people in these forums and most have the LT28at and either they cannot purchase the unlock or not willing to spend money on it. So asking someone else to test it for you that isn't exactly free to do - makes it all that much more unlikely that someone will try it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] randy_c:
So strange.. you can buy unlock code for Motorola atrix HD which release after Ion from AT&T but nit the Ion
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bryan858:
I've been trying the unlockers. I tried to contact the $40.00 guy but he did not respond and others that did get a hold got a response stating he could not unlock it. I tried a 60$ one and they refunded it stating they could not do it.

Many people just get the phone on plans so it doesn't matter to them. The few of us that really want to unlock it are making the efforts.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vladvertigo:
iphone unlockers was waiting for solution for years, so just wait and relax,

right now unlock possible only trough s1 signature server (which is currently down) with price of around ~45 (unlock.se and ezSEMC) :D

i can't wait forever lol, i don't have at&t in my country:laugh:

Sony is right, its AT&T that the code. Roger's ION has been unlocked for few weeks now: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNLOCK-CODE...955?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item2ec0f0e75b
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
cellunlocker.net refunded. i guess that means waiting for signature server to come online:crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] arvjaz:
CELLPHONEUNLOCK.NET just sent you a refund. :crying:

whole week of waiting for code..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
i guess quite a lot of money could be made if someone finds a way to unlock the carrier . would buy it in a heartbeat. really :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
i contacted at&t and asked them really poilte to unlock my phone , told them the phone isn't in america and never will be, told them imei and upc and hope for the best. they promised to let me know on friday.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aratta:
god bless you :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pirkez89:
please

please, can you give me number of att which you call and asked them for code. I really want to call them and ask is there any posobility to give me a unlock code, becouse i bought my phone for my sister, and we leaving in Europe, i am going home in 20 days, so i have to know can i do it or i have to sell it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
if you refer to me, i just emailed to ATTCustomerCare@att.com and they replied pretty quickly. good luck to you:cowboy:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xyberknight:
How many digits was your unlock code? The one they gave me was 16 digits, but when trying to enter it, it would overwrite the last number, so only 15 characters can be entered. If you had the same issue, let me know. I'm waiting further followup, or they said when the Xperia T comes out, that they will extend the 30 days buyer's remorse to put toward it the full value that I paid.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrtabaa:

it seems that i will receive the reject as ttn1185 did. that's what they told me

"After further review, the unlock code for this device is unavailable due to security restrictions based on the device's history. You may want to return the device and/or provide feedback to the seller.

Care should be taken when purchasing devices from non-authorized sources as no validation can be made as to the history of such devices.

Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for giving us the opportunity to help. I will follow up with you after we receive an update on the final resolution. "

but i can try to advice you, try not to enter the first digit, i seem to have read somewhere in this topic, that this helped someone. and i'm really sorry if you use one more try because of my thoughts.

as for me, i'm totally lost. i want signature server online:crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] enzotarece:
Hi everyone the only way the ion can be unlock its by a signature server an they say its down at the moment I ask when will it be online I did not get a reply am still waiting
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xyberknight:
This is the email I got. I received an unlock code, but none of the info on how to enter the code about left, right, and such is needed, I put the sim in, boot the phone up, and get to lock screen, slide to unlock to home, and it asks for the unlock code, and either unlock or cancel. Where are they getting their device unlock instructions from? I don't even know how to begin to get to any such prompts that they mention in their instructions. The only thing is the 16th digit of the unlock code is a 0, but leaving it off still renders an error, and I've already tried 3x to enter it, so I don't want to try with the same sim or in case it locks the device from trying to unlock it too many times. Any one have further info, or elaboration of what I received?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Shadoe_Lance:
Just purchased an unlock from them. We will see if it actually goes through. Their website specifically lists the LT28at on AT&T but I'm not gonna hold my breath as their instructions say to use the joystick to find the serial number. Strange.

If you will unlock it please send me PM , thank you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saikoou:
And what result ? successfully ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
Depending on your reasoning for unlocking, it "may" not be needed. I just tried my friends SIM from StraightTalk in this phone, and it worked just fine. Apparently though StraightTalk has the option of a ATT or TMobile compatible SIM. My phone is NOT unlocked, and this worked. We successfully made and received a text and phone call. (Did not load APN settings for data transfer, we will be trying that later)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Shadoe_Lance:
Nothing yet. But not holding my breath. Hope they refund fast if not possible.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nidjol:
I have a friend that works for AT&T and if you want to PM me your IMEI I can see if he can get the unlock code. He says that he can but we won't know for sure until I have an IMEI that he can query. It would be the same day if he can get it. I would charge $60 Via Paypal only after I get the unlock code in hand. I want to buy this phone and use it on T-Mobile's 3G/4G. Let me know.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] z0bug33:
i'll give you 30 bucks for it, if it works but in any case ask your friend when the exclusivity period ends

however I doubt that he can find it as its probably via the same service I would have to query through if I was to call up at&t directly
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Shadoe_Lance:
If you are positive he can get you the unlock code I will be more than happy to pay you the 60.00.

hey can you help me with my LT28at ? I can pay you. PM me and I'll sned you the IMEI.

cellunlocker.net can unlock it for 40 $ , and now server is not working , in 2 weks it will be online and if someone will place order now they will refund 50 % and unlock code will be sent after 2 weks.

"""""Hi there,

We do actually have a promotion going on for these phones.

However, the system for unlocking the Ions is currently down.

If you can, are you willing to wait a few weeks before placing the order for it with us?

With the promotion, you will be eligible for 50% off your purchase.

Thank you"""""""""
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apkraven:
so they say you will get it for 20$ upon server going online ?

please let me know where did you get the estimated time to turning on the server in two weeks?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] maixi105:
I placed an order yesterday and today they sent me an email that my order could not be completed and they are trying an alternative server but said nothing about the 50% off.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] z0bug33:
can you please ask your friend when the exclusivity period ends? Perhaps he can escalate it to tech support.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
they tolled me few weeks :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Encerspay:
Look, I've been reading, and I'm way confused.

I need the cheapest, actually reliable method to use the LT28at on T Mobile monthly4G.

Please.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Shadoe_Lance:
You're just going to have to wait until the signature server is back online. Until then no one can unlock the Ion. I'm sure once it's possible to unlock, someone will post and let everyone on the forum know. Including myself.
