Use this quick guide to quickly and easily SIM unlock your Sony Ericsson X8, X10, X10 Mini or X10 Mini Pro with our 4SE app:

  • Open an account. A 4SE license allowing you to SIM unlock any supported Sony Ericsson Android device costs $15 (other license options are available if you need 7 days or 30 days of access).
  • Download the 4SE software. The 4SE client software is the interface you use to perform any instant action on your phone.
  • Install the USB flash drivers. Click your Windows start button, go to programs/applications folder, open 4SE folder, click "Install USBFlash Drivers". Follow the directions to complete installation.
  • Select your model & connect. Select your model from the list on the left - if you are not sure about your model select auto-detect and use "Read Info" to get the model information. With your phone fully charged and powered off, connect by plugging the cable in while holding down the "back" button.
  • Select your service. Click the "Unlock" tab on the right side of the 4SE screen.
  • Press START. Press the START button to begin the flash and let the software do the rest.

That's it, enjoy your freshly unlocked Xperia!
