[Q] Need some assistance on unlocking the T-mobile Xperia Z

I would like to get my unlock code as soon as possible when my Xperia Z comes in the mail, I did purchase the device out right on ebay, however, when I went to search for getting the unlock code, they say it can take up to 8 business days, I do not have a contract with T-mobile and I will be using it under Metro Pcs's new BYOD program, I've got no problem paying some to do it, but I would need it as quickly as possible once device is in hand, would anyone be able to assist me?
Thanks for your help and any apologies for the long winded question

I would say just find someone reputable on eBay with good feedback and buy unlock code I have experience with t-mobile and nothing's easy thru them plus when I got phones unlocked they made me have a certain amount of time using it before they will unlock it even paid in full my advice just skip them

I just need the code rather quickly once i get it

Ebay buy one all u need to do is give ur IMEI then they sent u shortly ofter that ur unlock code I did that with every phone I had in the USA was relatively easy oh yeah u need a sim from a different provider so the simlock unlock code promt will show. T mobile is might the most easiest to get a code from of even but still not great go over ebay and just buy one.

I think I'll try my luck with tmobile first before I go and wait up to 10 business days for the code, I've never had to wait that long for one before.

Actually u should get the code right away. I pay and get it normally a few hours later.

who do you normally use to unlock it? From my experience, its usually slightly more difficult and expensive to unlock the tmobile devices compared to the ATT ones

Ebay buy it give ur IMEI by check out done. Easy quick painless

Update!!! It works! I had to call the main number 888-863-8768 and ask for help activating a second time and this guy was smart. He needed to manually add the IMEI number to their database and immediately the phone connected. Speeds are the same as T-Mobile.

where is the promo code?

Just got my Xperia today! Just wondering where the code for the Sony Extras is located? I ordered my phone from handtec if that means anything.

Im using the phone in the US and its telling me to update to privilege v3.0 but play store says its not available in my country. Do you know where I might be able to find the apk for 3.0?

I was able to install 3.0 on my Xperia in the us (search for the apk) but I did not get any codes and the pamphlet that came with the phone did not have any codes on it.

EDIT: I managed to get it installed but the app goes by the country of origin of the SIM card so no way around it (( BUT I did take out the sim and connect only with wifi and changed country to the UK and a free download for some mmorpg game showed up but nothing else, no other freebies

I also ordered mine from handtec, went into priviledge and had no codes.
I uninstalled priviledge and reinstalled from play store and then they appeared

[/COLOR]So messing with it some, if we could trick the phone into thinking its in the UK then it would work. I tried uninstalling it and re-installed, on the install it selects the country for you and only asks for the language. If you hit back it goes back to the country selection and the selection is blank. Just need a way around that but it looks like the promo is for the UK as of now.

Gear and S4?

Hello. I am new to these forums. I've been reading some awesome stuff that you guys have posted! Nice forums...
So yesterday I got me a Gear and I'm using it with my S4. For me, so far only making calls work and getting notifications from Twitter work. I havnt tried anything else but texts and weather won't work.
So my question is, have you guys got any applications working on gear while using an s4? Maybe there's some way so I can get text message notifications on my gear at least until 4.3 is released for my s4? I've read quite a few posts with some great info but I've seen they own a GG with a Note 3. Oh, and I can't install any apps from my s4 to my gear. I see them but when I click install, it just fails. I've read something about USB Debugging on Gear and that way you can push Apps from your pc to gear but not sure if it will work. Thanks

I can tell you that GEAR will work perfectly on Android 4.3 (Mine, I'm using Galaxy S4 i9500 with Android 4.3.) ... as you can see from this forum.
You can install apps from Samsung Apps (once you get GEAR Manager from there). Then a lot more feature apps you can download are there.
You can also use 'USB Debug mode' to push apk files from your computer to GEAR by ADB or Wondershare GoMobile, but not all apps will work.

Ahh I see! I checked the forum out. Unfortunately I can't get a 4.3 on my S4 yet but all I can do it wait lol. But so far, there's no known ways to get notifications working on a none 4.3 S4 is there? I'd be happy if I could get at least get text notifications to go to my GG for now. Thanks for the info!

I was in best buy today and the lady working at the Samsung desk said that she could update me to 4.3 I quickly said no as I'm rooted (mf3) using safestrap. I found this odd as the update was not available to us via keis but who knows she may have been right they easier access than we do. So if you want it check with your local best buy Samsung rep and see what they say.

You mean your S4 not getting Android 4.3 yet? [There is a way out by flashing Official Rom Android 4.3 of other countries like Russia / India here : http://samsung-updates.com/ [Select from drop-down menu of your left to your exact device].
For Android 4.2.2 on S4, I'd been trying so far, but cannot get any notifications to GEAR, but after Android 4.3, everything is perfect : you can go and download GEAR manager from Samsung Apps and lot more without any annoying. :good:

[Q] Mobile data not working properly & about rooting and custom roms

Mobile data randomly stops working. Not lack of signal or anything like that. Usually turning airplane mode on and off helps. I asked on a finnish forum and other users had similar problems with their Z1 too. I'm pretty sure it's not the operator, since my old phone worked just fine. Anyone have a clue what I should do?
Someone on the finnish forums said that he installed (flashed?) Slimkat ROM and it fixed this issue. I'm tempted to try that since this is driving me crazy, feels like it always occurs when I most need internet connection. So my question about rooting and custom ROMs would be: is it possible to get the phone to its "original" state after rooting and flashing rom (if it doesnt fix the issue and I dont like it), so that the warranty is not void?

what is your device problem？
when turn on Mobile data

The icon actually never disappears. I don't have 4G(LTE) so the best possible icon is H+. Only the little arrows next to the icon act differently when the data isn't working. No browser or anything that needs internet connection.

Yes, its stock right now. I was just wondering if I should try custom rom since it fixed this issue for another owner of Z1

I really appreciate that you're trying to help, but I'm not sure if you fully understand my issue. Internet works sometimes. Then it randomly stops working. It's not about settings since most of the time it works flawlessly, and then randomly stops working.

What is "sony check"? Yeah, hardware issues should probably be sorted via warranty... I hate dealing with that kind of stuff. It usually takes ages too. And on top of that, the issue is so random that it just might not occur when I send the phone to repair. They would send it back and charge me for nothing.
Anyway, I'd like to know about the last question I asked in OP.

same problem

And on top of that, the issue is so random that it just might not occur when I send the phone to repair. They would send it back and charge me for nothing.
Anyway, I'd like to know about the last question I asked in OP.

Heya, I just wanted to know if you found a solution to this problem at all? I've suffered through it for almost two years now, never being able to have someone understand this exact problem any information at all would be helpfull.
Thank you

How to tell if the BOOTLOADER is Unlocked?

I know there's a lot of speculation after the S7 and S7 Edge where locked on T-Mobile that they know 7 will also be locked on T-Mobile. I've made numerous calls to T-Mobile and to Samsung. In the end 8ts anybody's guess right now. I have had every Note since Note 2 and have ALL been Rooted. When my phone gets delivered in the next hour or two I was wondering if there's any way I can check myself to see if the bootloader is unlocked?

Lol I was wondering the same thing. How do you really know if it's unlocked or not?

According to Chainfire on cf-auto-root. They said on the site that they routed the international version to go ahead and try it on the T-Mobile. If it's locked it won't flash if it's unlocked it will Flash

@Rx8Driver should know.

My phone is out for delivery right now so I'm still waiting a few people have their phones but I don't think anybody's try to read them yet they're busy setting them up

If that was the case, every variant in the world would be locked. BTW Canadian variant isn't locked.

That's true if they're so worried about security why do they unlock the international version?

For those of you that don't want to trip Knox, I'd be very careful messing around with stuff until someone who doesn't care about their Knox counter has done it

Truth be told I've tripped Knox on every device I've ever had and including my wife's we went through for Note 4 is with her because of the camera issue Knox was tripped every time and Samsung fix it everytime my Note 10 had a bad battery connection.. I sent it to Samsung while it was still rooted and they fixed it with Knox tripped I'm not telling anybody that ripped nox but I'm just saying I've always got away with it

Just boot into download mode and look for Qualcomm secure boot enabled and Knox kernel lock

You should rephrase and ask if the T variant from Them is unlocked lol he's accurate in his answer, the exynos variants direct from damaging DO come unlocked "directly from samsung"....

asking a T mobile rep any technical information is like asking your dog the same question; you'll probably get a more accurate answer from Rover...

Following this thread
let us know when you get the phone to see if its locked or unlocked
im in the same boat....just waiting for the brown truck to swing by lol

I would be more worried about Samsung pay then warranty work.

Sub'd

I'm no dev, but I don't think it's locked. I booted into recovery mode, and rebooted to bootloader, and it was ready to download. Like you would to flash odin.

If it's unlocked you'll be able to flash anything if it's locked you can always flash Samsung stuff with the signature
