Look, if there is no SIM, then it is already unlocked. Contact your network provider to help you in the process. A command line unlocks the bootloader, not the SIM

I had the same situation with a couple of phones, just go to the nearest phone store/dealer and ask to borrow a sim card, I have not been denied and I don't know any of the employees, and you don't even have to be their customer.

Or just use a friend's/colleague's/etc.

OP is asking how to sim-unlock a sim-locked phone if he doesn't have a different sim card other than the one provided by its carrier where the phone was purchased

He is not talking about unlocking bootloader but about sim-unlocking the phone.

[MENTION=4015855]sapplegater[/MENTION]

Like suggested above, ask a friend to borrow his sim card, put it in your phone and you'll get prompted to enter your sim-unlock code. Or like said I'm sure you can ask any carrier to borrow a sim card in store, just make them believe you'll take a line with them if your able to sim-unlock your phone.

[Android General] rcoliveirajr:
I have created this toolkit mainly for personal-use, but I've decided to add more functions and put it here.. The app has a GUI and you don't need to remember ADB commands anymore, to install an APK for example, you just need to select the APK and it'll be installed automatically.

The toolkit has ADB integrated, so you don't need to download the Android SDK, the best part: The tool has only 1.2mb.

For now you can:

- Install/Uninstall an APK

- See the connected devices

- Reboot/Reboot in Bootloader/Reboot in Recovery

- See the Logcat

- Push/Pull

- Screenshot (Android 4.0+)

- Screen Record (Android 4.4+)

- Kill ADB Server

To be added:

- Automatically install ADB Drivers

- Fastboot things (Unlock Bootloader, flash recovery, flash kernel, etc..)

- Reboot into Download Mode

- Bootanimation changer

If you want any other commands, just tell me :D

No need to go through all that go to my next post.

Now we can all cheer. i got Ethernet working CHEER :victory:

You need busybox,USB Ethernet adapter, and a otg cable

I used Root Explorer to Execute the script just F.Y.I

All you need to do is edit a few lines

Change eth0 192.168.0.102 to the the ip you want like eth0 192.168.1.115 just make sure the ip you chosed is not being used.

Then change gw 192.168.0.1 and net.dns1 192.168.0.1 to your routers ip like gw 192.168.1.1 and net.dns1 192.168.1.1

After that turn off your phone's WiFi then plug in your OTG cable and USB Ethernet adapter

Then run the script and you're golden. :good:

just make sure that the 192.168.(>1<).xxx is the same as your router's.

INJOY!

#!/system/bin/sh

busybox ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.102 netmask 255.255.255.0

route add default gw 192.168.0.1 dev eth0

setprop net.dns1 192.168.0.1

Lets say your router's ip is 192.168.2.1

then it will be for an example:

#!/system/bin/sh

busybox ifconfig eth0 192.168.2.102 netmask 255.255.255.0

route add default gw 192.168.2.1 dev eth0

setprop net.dns1 192.168.2.1

but if you know how please tell me how to make it work. :)

this allow you to use apps that need wifi to run on eth0/ethernet.

i got the app from here

you can also get the app from the Attach Files.

All credit gos to who ever made the app and to Xposed framework that made it possible.

i just tested it and it works well at lest it lets me downlode apps from google play now.

cheer!!

after a few hours testing I came across this!

#!/system/bin/sh

busybox ifconfig eth0 up

dhcpcd eth0

Just execute that and your golden :victory:

That's all you need to do!

I was like how was that so simple. I still don't believe it but it works!

No need to go through that complicated process.

All you need is: busybox/otg cable/and a USB Ethernet adapter

Just plug in your OTG cable and then your USB Ethernet adapter

Then run the script and your super golden! CHEER!!

Make sure you turn off your WiFi first.

I made an app that dose it all

It needs root only to turn WiFi on/off and that you can see whats it's doing in superSU logs

This is my first app I made I hope it works good for you all

thats faster then my wifi 5g will give me and a better ping too

You can also go herefor the latest version.

You can get the most recent app from Google play

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rents1977:
I was running 4.3 on my C5303 with locked bootloader and I didn't like it.

I restored a nandroid back up of 4.1.2 that I'd made in CWM, and rebooted. As the phone was rebooting I expected bootloop as I had forgotten to use Flashtool to flash the 4.1.2 kernel. Oops.

However, to my surprise the phone booted as normal. CWM had restored the older kernel.

My question is - if someone with a custom kernel made a nandroid backup and I restored it via CWM would this give me a custom kernel on locked bootloader?

I used to have an ARC S and JJs Hybrid rom was installed this way. A new rom was installed and user created a nandroid before completing the set up. When user like me restored the backup we got fresh new rom with root and CWM on locked bootloader.

I'm in the UK on O2 and bootloader unlock status is always NO for their phones.

The main problem I see would be the size of the backup file. But CWM can do partial backup/restores. Has this option been explored already? :confused:

This may be the only way I can ever experience KitKat Cyanogenmod.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schokonuss:
You can't boot any custom kernel on a locked bootloader! If you try it'll brick your phone (I'm not 100% sure if it even could be a hard brick). Until now you can "only" flash 4.3 cyanogenmod/AOKP/PAC-Man on locked bootloader, which is also awesome, that this is possible.

Gesendet von meinem Sony Xperia SP C5303
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rents1977:
I understand you cannot flash a non stock kernel because you can't use fastboot.

As part of the nandroid back up it creates a boot.img file.

When I restored my back up it replaced the 4.3 kernel with the 4.1.2 kernel. So it must have restored boot.img?

I wondered if there was any way to restore someone else's non-stock kernel via cwm nandroid boot.img.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schokonuss:
Yes, it makes a backup of almost everything so also from the kernel.

I understand what you want but the custom kernels arent boot.img but kernel.elf and these ones have a different ramdisk (is it called ramdisk?!) and a different ramdisk requires you to unlock your bootloader so it would definitely brick your device if it is not the stock 4.3 kernel ;)

Gesendet von meinem Sony Xperia SP C5303
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rents1977:
That is disappointing, I had hoped that as it worked on ARC S it might have worked on SP.

Obviously it isn't something I can test myself. I had hoped that no matter what the kernel CWM would have been able to restore it from a backup.

I must read more about the ramdisk.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schokonuss:
The problem I think is that your bootloader isn't unlockable. If it worked on Arc S this is because the nandroid backup also backed up the bootloader status (I thinkso). So since your bootloader isn't unlockable, you won't have the chance to do so :/

Actually CWM could restore it from the backup but it would be the same, as if you would flash a custom kernel on a locked bootloader manually, which always should (hard)brick the device.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rents1977:
My Arc S had a locked bootloader too. Someone accidentally posted a nandroid backup with doomlord kernel instead of stock and I had doomlord kernel on locked bootloader.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schokonuss:
No, since this is not possible (yet) the recovery must have backed up the bootloader status (unlocked) since the one who made the nandroid backup had an unlocked bootloader, so with restoring the backup it basically unlocked your bootloader, respectively your own one got overwritten.

But since your bootloader is not unlockable, it won't restore the bootloader status because it is in no way possible to unlock your phone's bootloader!

I hope you understood what I mean?

Gesendet von meinem Sony Xperia SP C5303
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rents1977:
Ok, I think I've got it now :D

When I later restored a different nandroid on the ARC that's when my BL went back to being locked.

I guess that Sony must handle the TA or something differently now which prevents this from working with XSP.

Ok, it was worth asking I guess. I'd hoped with sources being released for our model and some hack like this I could have maybe gotten to try KitKat on locked BL.

It really puts me off buying Sony again, HTC don't lock their phones down anywhere near as tightly. You can get fastboot and change out the kernel for root really quickly. I even installed a rom on the the Desire which had the Sony UI that I love.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schokonuss:
I couldn't figure out if you have a nandroid backup. Do you have one? The nandroid backup also contains the kernel, so if you restore a nandroid backup, kernel of when you made the backup gets also restored.

If you only want to restore the kernel with a nandroid backup you go into recovery → backup and restore → restore partial backup (or however it is called) and select boot.img

I'm not 100% if that's possible. Maybe if you download a ROM with a kernel and delete the ROM out of the .zip (don't try that, it is just an idea!). If I were you I would download and flash another ROM (stock-based) that has an in-built kernel via recovery.
