    You talking about an unlock, a de-branding of the software or both?

    Most SE phones use network branded firmware (the software it runs) What you are trying to do basically is tricking the phone into thinking it is using the unbranded official SE Firmware so that when it updates it picks the SE firmware files rather than the network branded files.

    Keep trying is all I can say and if that fails or you give up.

    From reading on here Carphone Warehouse will unlock and put the official Sony Software on your phone for around £20

    A self de-brand apparently invalidates your SE warranty so if its still with in that use CPW or find an authorised SE service centre
