SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE means it was unlocked officially by SE so yes you can safely unlock bootloader
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Blagus:
If it says SEMC cert then use semc S1Boot.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Phantasm4489:
here is hex edited kernel module for use with stock 2.3 kernel. using this one no need for downgrade - all you need to do is run the relevant steps from the batch file from the original package without the rooting parts eg.

adb.exe push bootTools\fixPart /data/local/tmp/fixPart
adb.exe push bootTools\mapper_2.6.29.ko /data/local/tmp/mapper_2.6.29.ko
adb.exe push qsd8250bootwrite_semcSL /data/local/tmp/qsd8250bootwrite_semcSL

then run the following from a adb shell

su
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fixPart
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/qsd8250bootwrite_semcSL
/data/local/tmp/fixPart
reboot

start adb shell again after reboot

su
insmod /data/local/tmp/mapper_2.6.29.ko
/data/local/tmp/qsd8250bootwrite_semcSL

I tried this on 2.3.3 kernel and it seemed to run through ok and I have successfully flashed an unsigned kernel.

Dont try this unless you are willing to risk bricking your phone though as I wont accept any responsibility if you dont know what you are doing.

Update: Also added a single click batch file that you can use instead of the qsd8250_semc.cmd that was included in the original package that should automate all of the above.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
u forgot to insmod the module ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] totalundone:
Thanks the_laser!

I used your s1tool.7z and luckily it said that "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE". My phone was originally locked to Orange so I was a little extra worried.

Everyone, if you are unsure, run the program!

However, I'm going to hold off on unlocking my bootloader. I don't think that there have been any significant kernels that need an unlocked bootloader ... YET. When the time comes, I'll do it then.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Phantasm4489:
Oops... Kinda vital. Thanks :-)

I tried your module and seems to work. I cannot test if I can flash modded kernels since I'm on Mac.

I have contacted the portal to add this story and also have contacted CM/CWM about our bootloader being unlocked and seeing if we can now officially have CM7.1 and CWM5.0.2.0 from Rom manager yet. They have not got back to me as of yet but I have a funny feeling this is when the really big day will come. No more trying to build a Rom from complete source ad it is made for this phone. Faster and better aosp roms, CM nightlys. Oh to think what is to come. Sorry for off topic.

For some people trying to unlock the bootloader. Your computer might try installing drivers for an unknown device and say failed during the process of unlocking the bootloader. Just unplug the usb and then plug in again. DO NOT close the program. Keep it running it will then register the phone again and complete the unlocking process.

@the_laser

Well done for this you have done an amazing job. Is this fully unlocked or just partially unlocked. Only asking as will CM be able to do what I have asked them.

Thanks

Could you link the 2.3.3 kernel you used please ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Whitecookie:
Prob

Hey guys, i have a problem :(

I flashed back to 2.1 and rooted it with flashtool. After the reboot i tried to unlock the bootloader.... after some messages, that it uploaded some files, the tool says:

" can´t find userdate partition" the process stops.

need help!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Zocker Tko:
hi, the same problem i had yesterday, have you adb reconnect problems?

maybe this will help, open your taskmanager on pc, take a look under processes and kill all adb.exe processes, or easy restart your pc and then try again.

for explain

so you flashed 2.1, then one adb.exe is open, then you try to unlock your bootlader and another adb.exe is open, then you try again then again is adb.exe open etc...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
In other words make sure you close your flashtool as soon as flashtool recognises your phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Zocker Tko:
this is not what i mean, i closed flashtool, but it didnt work, then i looked into taskmanager/processes and adb.exe 15x, i killed all, and then run only the unlock tool, and bam it worked.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DaveHTC200:
This is normal and correct!

You need to flash dooms kernel and move modules into correct location and SE logo should be gone :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] geordie 34:
If you want se logo gone flash dooms kernel
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] PtN009:

its normal.

bootloader is unlocked and you have to flash dooms kernel than you will not get se logo. till than you will get se logo ..

buddy i think i bricked my x10 :(

i was trying the mapper module (from the x10 unlocking bootloader package)

loaded it using insmod...

then i could see:

i tried mounting it:

at the mounting command the device was very busy...

then i took out battery... and now the device is dead :(

doesnt connect in flashmode... no vibration while powering on device :(

it was on 100% battery still its just not working...

you damaged device bootloader by attempting to mount raw nand flash it as yaffs.

was worst thing you could try.

as qsd8250 do not have normal usb bootrom recovery mode, there is no easy way to fix it at home.

you can only fix phone by special jtag tools, like "riff box" or "medusa box".

as soon as special connectors will be manufactured, i'll release more easy way by setool2 software.

if you have friend with setool2 software, we can try to work it out without special connectors.
[HTC Inspire 4G] flappjaxxx:
So I have some interesting behavior from my Inspire 4G battery. When charging, it will charge from 0% to 73% without issue. This is where it gets weird, once it hits 73% it goes immediately to 100% charged. I have wiped battery stats in recovery, "calibrated" etc and it still does it. Anyone have any ideas? Does it sound like a bad battery? Any suggestions? I was wondering why my battery life doesn't compare to most on the forum

[HTC Inspire 4G] mschmiedel:
I ran across an Inspire which would charge the battery fine, but when a call connected or after a while of data usage the phone would just shut down.

I tried with another battery and it solved the problem without any issues. If you know someone else with another Inspire, it would be a good idea to switch batteries and see if the problem goes away, your problem seems to be battery related but before spending 20 bucks on a new battery first isolate the cause...
[HTC Inspire 4G] flappjaxxx:
Well I just did a clean install of the rom I have been using and same thing. Installed the same rom over my current setup but with a different kernel. Looked down at my battery a little while ago and it drained down to exactly 73% so I plugged my wall charger in and now it is charging from 73% on up normally so far. Very odd. I am curious if it is kernel related somehow.

Well , it's kind if a "take your pick" situation .

A laptop is good because it is a compact (or rather slightly smaller) version of a desktop , so you can have the features of a desktop at your hands .

A tablet is different . It is a even more compact version of the desktop . While it is more portable , the features may be less than what a laptop can do .

However , it does have some "phone-like" features too , so......goodluck !

Just a side theory. have you unlocked your bootloader etc if so which version of of the device do you have the d00 or 1100?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anupash:
Just another thought did u consider having a look at the cpu usage of the device. I had a similar problem yesterday and the cpu usage by Android Media process was continuosly over 60%. Even reset couldnot fix it. Switched to CM7 hence. Maybe try a complete wipe through fastboot (in case u have unlocked the bootloader) and then installing some other rom.

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase preinstall

fastboot reboot

Or u can reflash the SBF (pudding one if u have unlocked).

Thanks again for the responses the folks at XDA are great with support. I did not unlock the bootloader I was fine with just rooting the phone and again it worked great until gingerbread came out. I also reviewed to see what was happening to the phone when it froze the CPU was running about 30 percent and maybe 20 percent of Ram was being used. So many people are having this issue that I find it hard to believe that it is a hardware issue when gingerbread seems to be causing all types of phones this issue. Again Thank You for Your Help

Yep do these instructions for unlocked bootloader only. Fastboot instructions touch a lot more than the usual data and cache partitions e.g. boot partition.
