Unlocking a LT15I with sentimental value - XPERIA X10 General

10 Months ago my brother was killed and I now have his cell phone that he had on him at the time of his death. I'd like to unlock it to work on ATT. Its a British market LT15i running on T-Mobile at the moment. I dont want to flash it or destroy any info on it, I'd just like to be able to use it every once in awhile. Is there a free way of unlocking this phone? If that info isnt for public consumption, please send me a pm.
Thanks.

What the hell ..... Sorry about your brother dead but you posted in wrong place.

I did? General info about the SE x10 aka LT15i is the wrong place?

LT15i is the xperia arc not the x10

Root & unlock

Could some one tell me. If I rooted my X10, I can also remove the sim lock in this phone?

Nope. 'Rooting' your phone doesn't unlock it. It's completely different. Rooting your X10 would allow you to do more with your phone as a Super user. Unlocking your phone just sets you free from your carrier so you can use your phone with other carriers. Hope this helps

Is X10 a sinking flagship?

I noticed today that phones 4 u(uk) do not have the X10 on their website anyone know why? Could this be because it isnt selling?

Not another angry 12 year old kid. There has to be a way of stopping these pointless threads.

UK Stock

Does anyone know what is going on with UK stock for this? It's been out at most places since before easter and the likes of CPW are still saying >14days for stock.
Any ideas?
Earthquake, Tsunami, Nuclear meltdown.
As excuses go you have to admit it beats "the dog ate my homework".
Yup its True
There is a strong shortage of Xperia ARC and even Galaxy S2 also owing to Extreme demand and Low stock levels throughout the world.
I dont think even US will get a light of these two fones soon.
I am expecting my pre-ordered ARC around 21st May in India. Thats also
"May be" ...
So better pre order it sooner.
Its in stock on expansys for midnight blue, 5 days estimate for silver. Its where I got mine from on release day

This is what I'd heard, which is fair enough. It's just that I haven't actually seen a SE source confirming. SE tweeted to someone the other day just saying "its been out and available for weeks"
That earth quake is correct carphone warehouse told me that cause they had a conference with se but the only place I could find the arc is with 3 network thats how I got mine

Right I sent mine to 3 cause I cracked screen and it was sim unlocked they told me it didn't matter which firmware I had on aslong as it was stock mate it doesn't have to be 3s own really but they did sim lock it so they unlocked it for free but I was arguing with them over it just flash any generic ftf mate that will do

you just need to register and download the client (.exe file)
Then start the file, login and connect the device. Then you can choose which firmware you want to flash... It really is very easy to use, but you cannot find a flashable file on the website. It is downloaded within the process...

Unlocking sgs

Hi guys I have one question that maybe was already asked here,so I am sorry if I am asking stupid questions.. Anyway, I want to give my galaxy s to my brother but we are not using the same network, and my phone is locked to my network. So how safe is phone unlocking ? what is the procedure for unlocking the phone and is it shortening phones' life? Also,my brother will be using it in another country...Thanks in advance!

I've never had a problem unlocking a phone.
Just buy an unlock code online. Check eBay first.
After you have the unlock code, give the phone to your brother and when. He inserts his SIM card, he will be asked for an unlock code. Once he enters it, he can use the phone...

Interesting, I thought it was much more complicated than that.. I am in Serbia now using Vip mobile, my brother will use it on Vodaphone Malta, you think that there would be no problems if I buy code from uk ebay? Is it than unlocked for every other network in the Europe? Thanks

Just make sure that your brother's network is compatible. (AKA he uses a SIM card and that the network specs are compatible) and you should be fine...

Ok,but how should I know if they are compatible? What should I check first?
