Yes they limit functionality, but I think they delivered so far the most bug-free firmwares of all devices. I'm not counting those newer devices released after the x10, but the ones like Desire (normal one) and SGS. That's something we should be happy for...

But I don't care about that, XDA does a better job in a shorter time with some sparetime!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
HA HA HA!!

Too good, too funny.

We really should not have to fear them or feel threatened by them.

once again congrats for bug and armadillo-like protection was very fun to reverse on linux.

with jtag it is peace of cake, however without jtag it is kinda pain in the ass ;)

why not sell it, like themida ?

@Laser:any eta for update ??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abrarabbu:
is there any progress for making his unlock available for all members??? for free..:P

Guyz (respected developers) please make this thing available for all of us..

And how much time will it take to come with romz for unlocked X10... please, before 2.3.3 update.

Thanks...

noob question, does this unlock means bootloader unlock? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abrarabbu:
People who got their phones unlocked can attach pics or may be make a video of it.....

I am dying to see what happens when phone is unlocked..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] HunteronX:
Yes, it does. :)

@ the_laser and maxrfon

Thanks, guys! I'll be waiting, like everyone else, so make the flashing process as safe as possible. :)

There'll finally be no restrictions imposed on our X10's!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] InternationalPlayer71:
Good news guys but can i post a question?

What are the really advantages of having an unlocked bootloader? I think..custom kernel..but our devs have already found a solution(bootloader bypass files)..Then, we can install another OS but sincerily, i don't find any reason to do that! Anything else? Correct me if i'm wrong and sorry if is offtopic but i would like to know that!

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
Truly a great day for homebrew that was.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] huntleth:
Can someone spell out for us non-devs/idiots exactly what this means please? :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] realunited123:
This means full control over your device.

@the_laser are the JTAG pinouts of X10 known? There was a discussion about it some time before. I remember biktor tried to find them out but ended up bricking his device.

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ImS0Raw:
Why is there not some kind of pandora battery for the x10 :p Good days, making pandora batterys with your PSP and whenever it get's bricked unbrick it with those batteries haha. Let's hope there will some kind of way ever when bootloader is unlocked to unbrick it whatever there happened.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abrarabbu:
Hey anyone who have unlocked bootloader of phone??

please please make a video of unlocked phone with observed differences...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
If I didn't misunderstand him, the_laser already mentioned that there's also a method to unbrick x10 even when bricked on bootloader level. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Sent from my rooted X10i using awesome custom roms
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] qwer23:
What do you wanna see? There won't be that much observable differences by now. Well, maybe they could show another kernel than 2.6.29. running, but roms and stuff still have to get ported.

Sent from my rooted X10i using awesome custom roms
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pheel:
you wont notice a difference. an unlocked bootloader has the same crap as yours, mine or anyone in the x10 forums. 3 hardware buttons, a 4 inch screen. all the difference is the true potential of kernels are unlocked, i.e. wifi tethering from settings, possible 16 m colours (IF our screens support it; hopefully it wont burn), etc. also other os can be loaded, e.g. win 7/7.5, symbian, iOS or a real rom, not a fw. right now all roms are actually fws.

hope that cleared THAT up, and no point continiously asking for screenies or vids.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abrarabbu:
Understood..............................
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] realunited123:
I can only imagine to unbrick using JTAG.

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abrarabbu:
he just said that maybe....

but its really a difficult thing. unbricking phone requires flashing device which many of us dont have.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
The only way to unbrick a phone with corrupted/faulty bootloader is JTAG access - which 99,99% of users don't have.

Currently we are looking for a safe way to flash the modified bootloader.

Please be patient :)

Cheers,

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] muratbaizhanov:
love all the posts which ends with this =)

will unlocked bootloader give us full functioning camera on 2.3?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] realunited123:
Don't think so. They need to write sources or wait for SE to release the update.

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ooidort:
It will give us anything we're lacking at the moment. Real FPS uncap, 16 million colors, even different OS's altogether. But only if the developers pick up on this and have the desire to develop for the X10 anymore.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ryukenden:
No, since we still need proper camera drivers for gingerbread. Until SE releases GB update for X10, we will have to stick to VGA camera.

OR

u can write your own camera driver? :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Neo.:
@z:

Just a thought.can't the same relocking method used for arc applied for x10 as well?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] blueowl0708:
No it won't.. we can do that now with kernel bypass, just hasn't been developed yet.

It'll give us the ability to flash baseband without flashtool, more recovery options, directly boot into a custom kernel without bypass, etc.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Re-locking wouldn't un-brick a phone with corrupted bootloader. ;)

So, as Z said, they are looking for a way to safely flash the modified (a.k.a unlocked) bootloader onto our phones.

This part is REALLY important and that's why we have to wait as long as it takes.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] zdzihu:
Most likely no. But to be honest, there's no point in re-locking bootloader - the DRM keys are lost anyway, and SEUS updates are available for Flashtool in no time.

The main reason libcamera from Jerpelea doesn't fully work is outdated kernel - maybe with newer kernel it would work just fine :)

Cheers,

z
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rtblittlebrown:
So now we just need wait
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] CM-PRo:
Z/the_laser, any ETA's?

Thanks for all the awesome work you are putting in.

Will the method for unlocking bootloader be same for the Xperia X10 Mini/Pro and X8?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abrarabbu:
only if the devices have the same mcu ...and the bug.

if it can be done for x10 then most probably iy will be done for mini and x8

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] :
hey, i just posted news.

the bug author is maxrfon, he is from ukraine, as far as i know.

about progress, it is in finishing steps, mostly technical details... never ever worked with androids ;)

btw, do not except free network unlock from me, i'll release it free for my users.

for public there will be tool, which allow flashing any firmware...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rtblittlebrown:
I need a little clarification. Here your talking about the bootloader unlock

And Here your referring to the phone sim card lock

Correct?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] muratbaizhanov:
so, after unlocking our handsets will lock? will become players? before we buy an unlocking tool?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aZuZu:
no free solution? bastards they killed kenny! :D :D :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] OmegaRED^:
I am seriously getting confused. :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] infemost:
can someone tell me about this thread??? It is about unlocking network or unlocking bootloader???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aZuZu:
any safe unlock is good.. and till now i never bricked any phone with SETool 3 so any progress on SP unlock or bootloader unlock using SETool 3 is wellcome...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
To clear out the confusion:

1. The bootloader has been unlocked using a bug in the Qualcomm security encryption.

2. Since the bootloader has been unlocked, users can unlock their sim-locked phones without needing to buy an unlock code from various services. the_laser will provide such method for the members of his forum for free.

3. The bootloader unlock will be available to everyone once it is ensured that the procedure is safe, as Z said.

That's pretty much it.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mrgold2505:
I do apologise but still confuse....i have a x10 unlocked sim...means that i am going to have free acess to the bootloader??? Sorry for this noob question

Thanks:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] geovision:
The Greek way of speaking! Thank you very much!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Ok, let me make it more clear:

SIM unlock without a code is one more feature that comes with the unlocked bootloader.

If your phone is not sim-locked, just ignore all the posts about it.

YES, the bootloader unlock will be free for all.

@ the_laser, how likely is this gonna get patched ? and how easily would it get patched ? Maybe release some information about this 'bug' so well, for those of us that understand, can have a bit of further information and understanding.

Also, is it possible to have some insight on the 'some tricks' ?

For this, are you implying that its gonna get patched easily ? D:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:

Let's stay on topic though, I am sure ishunz and many other non-native english speakers, including me, are feeling a little uncomfortable right now... :rolleyes:

:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] laill:
Haha, so am I, non native English speakers.

So back to topic, I am wondering the impact of this discovery to the bootloader policy to SE, especially SE has said that no unlocked bootloader for us.

Cheers,

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ImS0Raw:
I have one thing to say, don't always believe SE. Also we wouldn't get unlocked bootloader if your phone is branded, if it's not branded you can get bootloader unlocked on Arc etc... Same on XPERIA x10 if they did, but they didn't... The unbranded version of the x10 has no contracts etc... So it wouldn't give any problems unlocking the bootloader, they only want sales for the Arc etc...

They also said no Gingerbread, and what are we getting? Yes, Gingerbread... So there would be a good chance that SE unlocks it for us, but that's not needed anymore :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arkedk:
Isn't the two official languages of HK, Cantonese and English?

That would make you a native speaker of English by default just being from HK.

OnTopic:

Did a flaw in the Qualcom chipset reveal the 1024 RSA key or is this a different way of bypassing/hacking the S1_Bootloader?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Alakasam:
___________________________________________________________

Nice surreptitious dig at me there ;D - I'll let it go though.

Depends how old laill is, I know my mum didn't really get taught much English when she lived in HK for the first 16 years of her life before moving to the UK.

__________________________________________________________

- Anyways, (<--incorrect, I know)

About this bootloader, SE Brazil do talk a lot of BS about the X10, they've made many mistakes which they've rectified..

I agree with Play^, we don't really need it since the flaw has been found.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] :
research completely finished and i'm preparing upgrade for my users.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:

so any luck with bootloader?

or this is currently only for Sim unlock?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] laill:
Well, my English is not so good, I am a A-level student and I only got a B for English in certificate exam...

On topic:it is very glad to hear the research is finished, looking for some nice cook

PS, damn, I am trying to restore the windows of my note book, but after the ibm restore copied all the files from the dish, it doesn't start the installation of xp....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
What I think would be amazing if the flashtool could be used to crack the boot loader if androxicde and the other devs were to find a way to do this
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mayank.1love:
That would be great but that would also require more time to code.

the_laser is doing great job in bringing the bootloader unlock solution to the masses for free.

Really appreciate what these guys are doing for X10 users.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] muratbaizhanov:
i'm wonder of the process.

so, after installing some apps through flashtool, we'll have custom (really CUSTOM) kernel (not original with replaced files)

then what?

then we'll need to wait until DEVs port their roms again?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pheel:
correct. the most spoken language is mandarin chinese (pu tong hua) followrd by the spanish. I'm chinese, yes, but I have really decent english, since I was born in Australia (alongside bogans, fair dinkum mate!), but learnt chinese as my first language.

OT: is it possible to release some more info to us (non-devs) but moderate to advanced users? like how Z used kexec to bypass the bootloader on April 1st? Apart from the fact the bug is in the secuirty verification? what expliots are used (as said in the OP)?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mayazcherquoi:
What's wrong with that language, I use it all the time? :p (Yes, I'm Aussie [not bogan though] :p)

And on topic: Guess we'll have to wait and see. the_laser (according to a recent post) stated that it's nearly finished. :)

sorry for my bad english
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abrarabbu:
Ofcourse.... building rom is more crucial..( only developers can make it happen)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sahhar1993:
but they dont make pictures or videos to show us something :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] abrarabbu:
What do you want?? pic??

Phone will be same as it is now, only you will have a slight speed of boot time thats it.

And flashing bootloader to our device isn't done yet. forget about pics and videos.

Just pray that our devs can find out a way of flashing a custom( ulocked) bootloader.

If that happens, you will have it on XDA for download after testing..

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andddy:
why dont everyone calm down and wait, gb isnt released for near on another month so what difference does it make, no devs would waste time making a kernel for 2.2 when 2.3 is being released soon. leave people 2 work at their leisure they are doing it for free after all :)
