[Q] Sim-relock after update to 2.3.x?

[Raex]

When i got my xperia x10 the android version was 2.3.x (i dont know the last number any more), but i couldnt use it with my new sim-card (different provider), so i took it to a store where a guy sim-unlocked it and when i got it back the android version was 2.1.1-update..........but it was sim-unlocked, i then asked this guy if i could update it to 2.3.x or if it would be locked again after the update........he didn't really seem to know but told me not to update because it would relock just as an iphone does he said.......but as i said before, he didnt really seem to know.
So my question is, will it be sim-locked again after i update to 2.3.x (with pc-companion) or not, i really need to be absolutely sure, i dont want to pay (35€) again.
Thanks in advance

Not 100% but no don't think it will re-lock. I'd get a definitive yes or no though I don't want to ruin your phone (as I said, not 100%)

thanks but the problem is that the guy i bought the phone from (not the one in the shop!) told me it was unlocked and he just updated it before he gave it to me and he could still use it with two different sim-cards from two different providers, but i couldnt use it with my sim-card (3rd other provider).........he didnt know why it didnt work with my sim-card, but after the guy in the shop downgraded it to android 2.1 and sim-unlocked it (again???) it worked,..........so i am actually a bit confused because everyone except of the guy in the shop tells me it wont relock but it seems that it has relocked (to 2 different providers???) after the guy i bought it from updated it..........CONFUSIIIIIING
Thats why i really need to be a 100% sure, maybe i need a real expert?!

Mine was unlocked and 2.1 had the same dilema but upgraded it anyway and it remained unlocked....
Thats my story anyway if it helps.
Edit: maybe it's unclear but mine was locked and unlocked just as yours

ok, but are there different ways to unlock the x10, because i dont know how mine was unlocked, by code or something else (patch or something, i really dont know), this could possibly make a difference in relocking......?

What does the bootloader have to do with the sim-lock? I dont care if my bootloader is locked or unlocked, i just care about if i can still use my sim-card after an update to 2.3.3 or not, but maybe i misunderstood your reply, if so i'm sorry^^

I really need to be sure that it wont (sim-)relock after the update, so is there someone who can tell me for sure why it wont relock or why it will relock?

 

[Raex]

OK i now received a reply of the service center of sony ericcson, they also told me that the sim-lock would be there again after an update, they told me to bring the phone to the shop again and let them do the update, but thats not possible according to the guy in the shop.

OK, i finally did the update and it remained unlocked......NIIIICE

Ok if u flash ur fone to 2.3 ur fone will accept any card, mine was locked to vodafone, flashed it originally so i could get 2.3 from 2,1 and i have reinstalled the stock software from sony and there where no vodafone items on use the flash tool to do this instead of getting someone to sim unlock, generic android is best way (Not held responsible if device is damaged in anyway)
