Network Unlock Code

Hello,

I've purchased a while ago(July 2010) my X10i and now as I am changing the

mobile operator I wanted to unlock it. It's free after 6 months(OrangeFR) but

when I called them they provided me with the wrong unlock code and told me

they have contacted SE in order to get a new network unlock code. SE can

you tell me what can I do next, as they said 10-15 days it's already been 15

and I haven't received any email from SE with the code, or any other confirmation

that they were contacted.

Thank you.

Your service provider MUST unlock it for you

what if you just install the generic firmware

rooting and/or flashing firmware other than the one offered through PCCompanion or Update Service could violate your warranty (unless is restore to its original firmware)

if you decide to proceed

Latest official update 2.1 (UXP update)

go here and download the X10a-2_1_A-_0_435_EW.ftf file

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935407

download FlashTool 0.2.4

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825675

Install it

inside there will be 5 folders

                                   Custom
                                   Drivers
                                   Firmwares
                                   Loaders
                                   X10Flasher_lib

click on X10FlashTool (Application)
click on Connect (it's a button)

did you try getting codes from other service providers? here's one such provider http://www.theunlockarena.com/sony-ericsson/rs13wp8/  who provides network unlock codes at reliable rates. dont worry your phone is 6 months older. they provide codes for such phones too. try it.

don't you think its easier to just install a global generic version of the X10 and not to worry about codes and paying someone?
