Sim Lock Counter Locked

[Squamata]

Hello everyone:) I have a problem with my Tipo. The thing is that the phone is locked to a certain provider in my country, but I already unlocked it once. The problem came after reinstalling the firmware- the counter says that I don't have any tries left and even if I have the code(which I do) I can't do anything with it.... Please, if anyone has some knowledge about this problem, feel free to share it with me. Thank you.

if you unlocked it once it should still be unlocked, now if you enter the wrong code multiple times you are not going to be able to unlock your phone at all, this might be the case here.

After reinstalling the FW everything goes away, including the unlock. I know I have 5 times normally, but I have only ever used 1 ...

that doesn't sound right, I have multiple Xperias some locked to carriers that I've unlocked and I've flashed myriad fw and so far I've never seen that, that been re-enter the unlock code. perhaps you have the wrong code.

Sorry to bother you that much, but it is just like I'm telling you .... I couldn't believe it when I saw it. The first time the unlock was successful and I used it for a couple of months. After that I installed a lot of things and decided to uninstall my FW with the original Sony software. When I started the phone I saw in the service menu just what I told you it had X in front of everything and an 0 behind them. What do you suggest I do ?

that doesn't sound right at all, perhaps contact Sony or stop by a sony repair center or even better contact the place that gave you the code

It still has warranty, so I will give it to them. The problem is they have a policy about customers changing FW, so I will have to lie.Hope for the best, I really don't want the phone to be locked forever ...

reflash the original firmware

Flashtool ? Because the Sony software already failed at the a couple of times, leaving me with a unistalled FW and the same problem.

let me understand this, have you unlocked the bootloader? have you flashed a custom ROM?
