Code Agency: Sony Ericsson Unlocking Secret Codes

Submitted by CellGeek on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 1:43pm.

Due to the overwelming amount of questions we got on our first Sony Ericsson post; here's a follow up that will hopefully address your concerns.

The most often asked question was how do I unlock my Sony Ericsson phone?

One way you can try it is with a free unlock patch generator, such as the one I found here.

The method involves several downloads, including a flash driver, a USB cable, Windows, and only works with Sony Ericsson DB2020 phones, (including such models as the K550, W610, K610, and W880) but it seems like a legit way to unlock Sony Ericsson cell phones, provided your understand your trying the method at your own risk. Back everything up!

To figure out if you have a DB2020 phone, type -> * <- <- * <- * to reach the Sony Ericsson Secret Menu screen. Enter the Service Info screen followed by the Software Info screen and look for EROM. If DB2020 is in the EROM name, the method should work.

Here's some other Sony Ericsson Secret Codes we tracked down:

To reset the theme: <0000>

Lock Status: <-**<-

Get network information: <**<

programming checks: >*<<*<*> or >*<<*<*>

You can check more info at part one of our Sony Ericsson codes post, and here, or here for where I got this info.

Could you please help me unlocking my Sony Ericsson K510i. I would be very grateful as I have asked my local shop for unlocking but they charge stupid price i.e £15.00 which I can't afford. Thank you

Ok i think my phone's a w300 [sony ericsson]and i'm not exactly sure what i did but now it's asking for a "PUK Code" and i can't call my service provider because i don't have a home phone right now...So how could i get the PUK code without calling the service provider?
Thank-you
