Xperia Z hardlocked

[breras]

Hello!

I'm writting because i realized that my Sony Xperia Z is hardlocked due to incorrect unlock codes...

I checked that by *#*#7378423#*#* where i found this:

[x] Network 0
[ ] Network subset 0
[ ] Service provider 0
[ ] Corporate 0
[ ] SIM 0

So i'd like to know if there is a solution to unlock my phone...

Waiting for solutions,

Best regards,

Rodrigo Mendes

it seems that if you use a code 5 times you won't be able to unlock the phone at all, you could try to flash a different firmware with flashtool or use SUS or PCC but I doubt it will reset this.

I don't know how to flash a different firmware with flashtool and i don't know what it does to the handset...

I notice that i'm able to use SUS. Do you think it'll be ok with that? What it does to my phone?

SUS will reset your phone, flashtool will install a different software/firmware.

SUS i the best way to reset the phone instead going to settings and restore it to factory default?

[Uliwooly]

Yes

Hello again

I tried SUS and it seems the same:

[x] Network 0
[ ] Network subset 0
[ ] Service provider 0
[ ] Corporate 0
[ ] SIM 0

By this i can't unlock my phone, right? So i only can try now flashtool as last option?

Indeed, but I expect the same result as SUS
