Xperia E hard locked - GSM-Forum

soudies · 05-23-2015, 12:21

Hello,
I have an Xperia E that is hard locked (x) and (0) on all 5 locks. Is there a way of unlocking this as currently it cannot locate any networks?
Many thanks

Thank you for getting back to me. Is there a guide on how to do this?
I tried a normal unlock using Setool but it did not change anything.

About alternative security bypass unlock for st21,st21i2,st23,st26,c1504,c1505,c1604,c1605 phones

1. select proper phone model
2. check signed mode + altbypass + do full unlock
3. press unlock and follow program instructions

Our users tested all supported phones - and every phone was unlocked

To prevent possible problems, in second step, when setool2 ask you to power on phone, disconnect cable from phone, power on phone FULLY, wait at least 30 seconds to allow sluggish android fully start up, then enable USB debugging and only then connect phone.

if root procedure will fail ( hang on "Please wait ...." for long time or abort with error ) please press "stop" button and repeat procedure.
it it will fail again, please fill complain with identify output , flash phone with different firmware version and retry.

notice :
- phone will NOT have network until procedure will complete
- you CAN root phone with any other tool BEFORE attempt to process it with setool2
- pretty please remove any resident antiviruses, malware monitors, spy programs,debuggers and so on before operation.

processed phone CAN be flashed with any other 3rd-party tools, which using original sony loaders.
processed phone CAN be flashed with SEUS
processed phone CAN NOT be FOTA upgraded
processed phone WILL have UNLOCKED fastboot ( unlocked bootloader )

you CAN NOT flash or fix octopus-processed phones using this setool2 version.
setool2 will refuse to process such phones.
you should wait, until they get my proper patches and integrate it into their software with security units rebuild.
finally, until i'll have reliable way to fix such phones without need to have live phone, i'll not enable IMEI change.

your phone will not be killed and will be unlocked

I have tried that again but still have (x) and (0) on all 5 locks. The handset cannot see a sim card and if you ask it to search for a network it shows a blank without searching.
The current software is :
Baseband 76xxu-usnskolym-2540
Build Number 11.3.A.2.33

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Regards

Repeat unlock procedure again and WAIT until phone has rebooted fully before removing cable. If you remove cable before full reboot this will cause 5 locks closed.

Thank you for the tip. Unfortunately I just tried this and got the same result of (x) and (0) on all 5 locks and the handset not being able to see the sim card.
