iamax10user — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 22:46:41 GMT

Hi SE forum admins and guys,

In fact, I have a problem.. I am on holidays now, and I've bought a new national sim card of the country that I am into now for vacations, but it's not working on my x10i... when Phone is booted, I'll have a grey screen with " sim network unlock pin" or something like that, with 2 options "dismiss" and "unlock".... I inserted the PIN CODE of my phone but it didn't work either...

so I need ur help plz... and thanks

Seems that your phone is locked into the network that you are using, so you need to contact them to get the network unlocking code in order to be able to use other networks on your phone.

you have two ways to do this, one find the unlock code so you can use any sim card or two debrand your phone

the later could void your warranty, but you can always flash the original firmware back to your phone

OPTION 1 - Install *.ftf files

this are backup alternatives

Sync your contacts with Google

open your phonebook

press MENU button -> tap on Send Contacts -> select all -> send it to your email

on your computer

-> download the file -> go to your gmail -> click on contacts -> click on more actions -> on the drop down menu click on "import" -> choose the file -> and click import

For SMS/MMS

Install "backup SMS" to back up your SMS and MMS to your Gmail

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&feature=search_result

or your SMS use

"backup & restore SMS"

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&feature=search_result

or for your MMS use "Save MMS"

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.schwimmer.android.mmsextract&feature=search_result

if you dont want to lose your call logs

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.yang.android.ansta

Don't worry so much about backing up your apps

on your computer go to

market.android.com -> log in -> click on My Library -> and send all your apps to your phone

Hai, I think your phone is locked phone.So only it is not accepted any sim card. Once you have unlock your Sony Ericsson X10i phone after you can use any gsm sim cards. This can be done by using codes. If you want unlock code you can get it from Mobileunlocksolutions.com . Here they will ask your mobile details, network, imei, and country then they will send the code via to your mail.
