My phone's imei code isn't accepted for the bootloader service?

Marcel1 — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:21:36 GMT

In the bootloader service from sony you need to input your name, imei code and email adress.
I've done that, and then it said: imei code can only be 14 chars long. For my knowledge an imei code is 15 chars long? (my phones imei code is 15 chars long).
So at the end I cannot go further into te proces...

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance,

Marcel Horemans.

if it's locked to a network/carrier or network/carrier branded it is not going to work as networks/carriers request this to be locked

Yes it can be unlocked.

Rooting status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes

Can't I just drop the last digit of my IMEI code?

It works thanks you. I'm installing a custom rom now. Works like a charm.
