    If this works for most people, I am quite shocked at how insure the droid is! I am sure in the future they will probably patch this right? Then we would have to find another way….

    Xperia is full of troubles when we try to unlock it. Most of the, it corrupts the main software and cell gets useless.

    i have try the null system but it cant unlock my X10. My wife mistakely locked my X10 by too many pattern attempts! I cant even use my phone to connect to the internet because i had not activited my gmail account before it happened. It can not be flashed because no system can communicate with it since i can not gain access to the screen were it will prompt me to Mount with a PC! My X10 cant be connected to my labtop or desktop because its locked. I only have my password to my sony ericsson forum! I just bought it November at Dubia. I live in Nigeria. What will i do to unlock it?

    My brother bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 in San Francisco at a BestBuy store. They told him that the phone was unlocked and ready to use it. When he handed it to me here in Lima, Peru, I found that it was locked and with a AT & T logo on the back.
    How can I unlock it? I have tried three unlocking companies through the Internet, but they said the phone is too new and that they don’t the unlock code yet.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Best regards,

    1. Unlocking

      We can unlock this phone for you at unlocking.com . I’m surprised you couldn’t find another company to do this as it is one of our most popular phones that need to get unlocked.

  37. Dylan

    Omg thank you so much, the null theory worked! Cheers!

  38. Solution

    Try logging in with your youtube account. It worked for me the first time i tried it, and nothing else worked 🙂

    1. Dodge Neon SRT4

      Excellent Tips. thanks a lot. This theory worked.

  39. Ram Babu

    Hi,

    Thanks for your information, it was quite helpful. After entering (null) in the password field it started working. I think Sony Ericsson and Andriod have to do something about this problem. It is not a good trick to unlock the phone from this kind of problem.

    Many thanks.

  40. Komodo Dragon

    Thanks for explaining how to do this! I agree that Sony Ericsson/Android better take a look at the issue soon and do the needful.

  41. Tyler

    This sounds complicated, but there is another way. If you call your cell phone from another line, you can answer the call. If you end the call, the phone may have a glitch where you can see the home screen before it switches back to the unlock screen. When you end the call, you can use the touch screen to navigate to settings and disable the use of the pattern lock. It is a tedious process but keep calling your phone and you will eventually navigate far enough to disable your lock and you will be able to use the phone.

    Thank you!!! this site really helped me to unlock my x10.

Basically I forgot my pattern unlock and I tried it 5 times and I had to unlock it with my google account. I’ve tried 2 google accounts and they wont sign in and they work on my laptop! Its been locked all day and its not unlocking!

  43. natasha glavish

        do you have a Wifi or something to connect to internet ? we have a both same case :'(

  52. Deutschland

    I also have an iPhone and in my opinion, I think the X10 is better. Is a hassle to have to use the iphone and be tethered to iTunes all the time. There are already thousands of apps available out there for the Android OS. The touch screen interface is probably better on the iPhone. But the user interface and features on the X10 is, in my opinion better.

  53. juan

    the phone can unlock because it sais that i have to put mi gmail email and password but i forgot mi password and i trid to make a new one made it n i put it on the phone and it still dousnt unlock

    Thank you so much for the majic “null”, it worked for me after losing hope!

  67. Pooja

    Hey, THANKS A MILLION, the password null worked for me…..
    Just wanted to say for people whom it wasn’t working, you can try just putting in the ID instead of full email address as I was putting the full e-mail address and so it was not working….

    Once again thanks very much, you saved me from spending almost 100 pounds on it or getting a new phone…. really helpful, much appreciated….. 🙂

  68. Jacinto Dávila

    Thanks a lot too. I am surprised this is actually true. But it worked. I wonder how many other amazingly stupid bugs does this machine has. Thanks to people like you we survive despite.
