Simlock problem

[Booyakasha]

I cant simunlock my phone because i move from UK and cant back in 1-2 years. I go to sony center and they tell me "we cant help you" "its your own very expesnive stamp or pice of brick now" private developers tell me: "75£ and it wll be simunlocked" fack rly? i bouth that smratshit for a 150£ and now i cant make calls. What can i do now? can you  tell me? Propably again you wll tell me "we cant help you", "Next time buy simunloced phone" - next time i buy samsung or htc.

I think if you flash the phone with unlocked sim firmwire it will fix your problem. And if you're using the latest firmwire 6.1.1.c.1.10 don't forget to check "Exclude TA" option in Flashtool before flashing. That option is to exclude simlock from your system.

but my sim is loced man. And you wanna tell me if i flash my phone on "bootloader unlock allowed: no" i can delete simlock?

[Slajder]

As i recall you don't need to unlock the bootloader to flash the official firmwire. Unlocking bootloader is needed for flashing custom roms I think

[Booyakasha]

i stll dont see your point. You wanna tell me that official firmwire delete simlock? Oo

[Slajder]

I think yes... If it's deleting whole system, why not the simlock? It's not a hardware lock

After installing flashtool, install the Xperia U, Fastboot and Flashmode drivers (they are in Flashtool folder). And follow the instructions to step 4. Step 5 and further is for rooting your phone.

Make sure your selection look like this
