Network blocked z1 compact

[BogdanBagdasar]

I bought recently a z1 compact from ebay and from my unknowledge that guy told me that the phone is locked on o2, but not hardly locked. I accessed that service menu where you can find that your attempts to unlock it by code but is says that i have 0 attempts left. My question is.... Can i do something with this phone to get it unlocked somehow? I tried to go to o2 stores and to call at a sony service center but with no luck. They need the owner's agreement. Thank you!

Not sure which menu you're referring to but if it's the one I think a 0 means it's already unlocked.

I forgot to mention that at network i have that X, [x] to be more specific. If anybody has an idea what can i do with this phone, just let me know. Thank you!

It sounds like if there is an [x] on network, and a zero at the end, you have no more attempts left. But have you actually tried putting in a SIM from another carrier yet? See what it says. If the person who sold you the phone lied to you, then you should consider registering a complaint or asking to return it.

My Z1C was from Sony (no carrier) so it came unlocked. Mine looks like this:

I think X indicates that there is a lock. What network are you actually on @BogdanBagdasar? O2 contract users can unlock for FREE

It's locked on o2 and a tried everything.... flashed a new firmware getting the same problem.... i tried to unlock bootloader. Nothing works. I went to O2 store and they told me that without the customer who bought this phone we can do nothing. I called at sony service center, they told me that they need approval from O2, but i don't have that guy.. And i am not a O2 customer. I tried also to switch the sim cards. with no luck. It says that I need the unlocking code which i bought 3 weeks ago and i haven't new that the phone i blocked. the reason of opening this post is: Can I do something with this phone to get it unlocked somehow through USB or anyway? Despite of whatever things I done by now.

Have you asked the person you bought it off to unlock it using the O2 process? The only way to unlock is by code, there are no tools here to do that unfortunately.

I can't meet him. I left him a message on ebay 2 weeks ago about this problem. He never responded. But I solved now the problem. Replaced mainboard. Thank you for all the advices.
