[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
As i understand it the main reason is bootloders, and 2.3 has the same bootloaders does not matter which 2.3.x version, all have the same bootloaders.

Or did i get it wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmadpete:
No i think ure correct. But it only takes two mins to flask stock. Try it if you like man
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSGE:
You can follow the steps recommended by developer of the custom rom.

To be sure you avoid the nasty thing is better to make an (optional) Hard rest of the phone and after flash a stock rom (I suppose JVR) with his boot loader.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
The bootloaders are the same so it doesn't matter.

any way I did it without flashing a stock rom and all is good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmadpete:
Thats good man, pleased u got sorted out. :)

Hi

Could anybody tell me if its possible to customize the Touchwiz taskbar? specifically the screenshot button, which im constantly accidently pressing, also i'd like to change the items on the popup icons list (the one with the task manager etcg

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
It is not possible to change the quick menu (or what ever Samsung calls it) apps.

It is possible to remove the screenshot button and the quick menu button if you have custom rom.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5thElement:
Yes it is possible to change the apps. Samsung has released an API to allow you to add different apps in.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stardate Tab 10.1:
But it is not possible to do as of now.

========================================================

X10 Bootloader Unlock Tool (0.1.1)

by Mayazcherquoi

​

What does this do?

This is simply a graphical front end to the_laser's Windows batch files, with the added questions to prevent accidental device bricking.

Can I use this without having to downgrade to 2.1?

Yes, but make sure you follow 9Lukas5's guide here. Just disregard the third bullet point and use my program instead :)

How hard is it to use?

Not hard at all. Just click the big "Unlock Bootloader"* button :)

What is the point of this?

For people who don't like black backgrounds and white texts, but feel more comfortable with GUIs :)

Will you release the source code?

Now? No. In time, yes. Why not now? This is just a quickly developed application and the code is rather embarrassing at the moment :o

Do you plan to further develop this program?

Indeed I do. I plan to make it a nicer GUI, implement automatic kernel flashing (for those who use 2.3.x), and much more robust. :) As aforementioned, this is simply a quick mock-up. :)

Download:

VERSION 0.1.1:

Download the attached file below, "x10_bootloader_unlock.zip", or by clicking here. :)

Changelog:

0.1.1 (11/09/2011):
- Fixed ADB errors.
- Fixed "Bootloader" misspelling on button.

0.1 (10/09/2011):
- Initial Release.

Announcement:

Dear members,

My priority is the X10. I apologise if you feel left out because of this. However, have no fear, because as soon as my implementation for the X10 is complete then the X8 (and other devices) will soon follow (like, almost immediately) :)

Regards,

Mayazcherquoi.

PLEASE REPORT BUGS. I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS!!!

* Please ignore the spelling mistake on the button :(

nicely done...

the "big unlock button" should make it a bit easier for people ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] stillka:
great, I unlocked it already but it help for rest of "not so skilled" people :-)

thank you!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] :
What about phones previously unlocked with SETool/Omnibus? Is there some kind of detection in the program?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mayazcherquoi:
It will ask if you have unlocked it via SETool or another method. If SETool, it will execute the appropriate code. Otherwise, it will show a friendly little popup box saying that it won't do it because it will risk your device :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Z3US911:
handy tool for X10'ers ,nice work appreciated.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mayazcherquoi:
For those who haven't unlocked their boot-loaders yet and want to, can you please try this program? :s I have a feeling it will freeze when it is waiting for your device to be connected... :/
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Prodigy:
LOL and it's here, after 2 days.

Nice work!

OH BTW: You spelt bootloader wrong on the tool LOL bad mistake :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pheel:
NICEEE

btw nice spelling of bootloaer
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
@OP

u do know that there is a edited module posted for rooted 2.3.3 ROM... so there should be no need to do kernel downgrade if u have rooted 2.3.3 ROM...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mayazcherquoi:
Thank you.

For users, please bare in mind that this tool does exactly the same thing as the batch file! So take the same precautions as you would, this just adds some security checks (questions) to prevent accidental brickings and gives you a "one-click" unlock solution!

Thanks :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] LegibleEel:
I was gonna wait till more stuff came out which took advantage of the bootloader but oh well :D... do I have to downgrade the kernel etc?? or is it just plug in and press button kinda thing?

Edit: Ah dm didn't read fully :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] G-FACE:
Thanks!

Now i see in the package you have mapper_2.6.29.ko, is it needed to downgrade the kernel then?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lovex8:
Hi! I have an idea! X8 and X10 mini can also unlock the bootloader now. It will be great to add the support for x8 and x10 mini in your tool!

And this is the tool for x8 and x10 minihttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254525

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xArtanis:
I'm following the guide to unlock w/o reflashing my custom rom. Should I just ignore the questions?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tcolec540:
Means there is a problem with the pathing. Go into your environment variables in windows and add the directory that has the program in it to the path.

Ie: if the program is in the folder "c:\bootloader" you have to add that to your path.

For windows 7 click:

Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings.

At the bottom of that tab you will see "Environment variables" Click that.

In the bottom window scroll down until you something that looks like this.

Path C:\windows;c:\windows\system ....etc...

Add to the end of this the directory where your bootloader tool is installed. This should clear up your issues if you experience them.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] UpGrad3:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] doomed151:
Quite simple, it unlocks the bootloader.

lol

Wow! This is great. Thank u so much! :-)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
haha, excuse me if I laugh, but it's quite funny. If something is named bootloader unlock tool, what else should it do as unlocking the bootloader????
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mayazcherquoi:
Expect a much more robust version within the next couple of days with an overhauled UI (retains the same look as the "PC Companion" tool, plus extra easy to navigate around) as-well as X10 2.1 and 2.3 support :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] G-FACE:
@Mayazcherquoi, could you plese answer my question? :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] KBEscalona:
Sorry i wasn't clear with the question. So here it goes. If i have an unlock bootloader can install HTC Desire rom or Droid X rom directly without fiddling any other stuff from it?:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
You would need a dev to port it since the hardware and kernel are different.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] doomed151:
No, unlocking the bootloader simply allows you to flash unsigned/modified .sin files. Nothing more than that. It also doesn't make your X10 magically get new features.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] KBEscalona:
Thanks for the clarification. =) aR_ChRis & doomed151.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BinaryXeroMedia:
Here you go mate I will give you a polite and proper answer.

The bootloader does lock us down from pretty much doing anything to.the phone. But when we unlock it we are then able to control the phone ourselves. (theoretically) we are able to do what the hell we want to this phone now.

Now. This will not happen overnight as there is a lot of things to it mate. What you need to remember is there is hardware to think about and and a hell of a lot more. Give it time as I am waiting for galaxy sense to get back to me about helping me port the sense 2.1 to x10.

Hope this makes sense. ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] redcapnet:
can you use this with locked sim card or does sim card has to be unlocked? Thnx
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] brucar:
is normal the program not responding for 5 minutes??

i not can to unlock my phone...and is unlocked operator....

:(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] away:
If your phone is locked then there are no issues, by locked I mean sim locked, if not then those people should be extra careful because this bootloader unlock relies on semc certificates/codes being left by the sim unlock. At least this is my understanding of the current situation.

Do you have to put ur phone in flash mode when using this tool or leave it running like normal?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
this doesnt seem to be working for me, i checked using the tool to see if i could unlock, which said semc certificate passed , i have since tryed to unlock my bootloader but to no success, it says its completed but everytime it reboots it still shows the white sony ericsson logo, any ideas why it isnt working for me??

ive also tryed telling it i used a code to unlock, i tryed telling it i used setool2 to unlock, but none works properly
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ishan Sardar:
so im on wb v4 can i use this bootloader? and 1 more question it says

what exactly does it mean? does it have anything to do with graphics customization? if yes then what part? what graphics part can i change with this and how?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] LJE:
If It's telling you It's completed, then listen to it. ;)

You will still see the Sony logo after you unlock it. The Sony logo will be gone once you flash a different kernel.

Congratulations, you have an unlocked bootloader
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] synn21588:
can anyone answer this for me? OP gave no instructions
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Notopic1:
yup you need to be in flash mode.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
ok well i listened , and now i flashed dooms kernel, now i cant make calls gettin emergeny calls only on screen, tried going back to stock kernel but no joy,
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mayazcherquoi:
Hi,

I was afraid this problem would occur shortly after releasing it (you can see my post a couple of pages back). To avert this problem, first plug your phone into the computer and then click the big unlock button :)

Regards,

Mayazcherquoi.

Hi,

This is because you have not yet removed the Sony Ericsson kernel, which contains the image of the white text "Sony Ericsson", which is to be displayed at startup.

There is another kernel provided by DooMLoRD for unlocked bootloaders, try that :)

Regards,

Mayazcherquoi.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tcolec540:
the laser mentioned that if you had sim unlocked your phone through any 3rd party source other than SeTool or a Code from your provider or if your phone was sold sim unlocked directly from sony then you would lose radio capability. You will have to have it unlocked by setool to regain your radio.

Im not saying thats what happened. Im just saying that is what it sounds like. Good Luck
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
would i have to pay for setool?? o can i get in xda?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
also i used the tool which told me that my phone had the semc certificate so it would be safe to unlock the bootloader,, or am i not understanding something here
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tcolec540:
Then you should be fine if it said it had the semc cert. Otherwise yes you would have had to pay to have setool change the security zone on the phone. As Mayaz said, redownload Dooms kernal for unlocked BL and try reflashing.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
well ive tried downloading and reflashing dooms kernel and still no joy......
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tcolec540:
Do you see Sony Ericsson text on boot with dooms kernel?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mayazcherquoi:
Did you read the questions and warnings that my program presented to you?

Guessing not.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
no i did read EVERYTHING again, i ran the test it said ok, i follwed all instructions to the letter,
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
no it was a totally new boot logo with dooms kernel,
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mayazcherquoi:
What to expect soon :)

I am referring to the ones questioning if you have unlocked your bootloader beforehand via an alternative tool?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
no this was the first time id tried to unlock it,

ive now estored my phone using the update service, it just now shows a ed cross at the signal bars, but doesnt say anything about being incorrect sim so must still be unlocked, however it does say network_unknown , shows a signal stength of -79dbm 17asu

mobile network type - unknown

so no idea what has happened
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mayazcherquoi:
Sorry, I miswrote my previous question. Have you unlocked the sim-lock (so you can use any sim card with the phone) before?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] andy1weir@hotmail.co.uk:
the phone was unlocked when i got but i do not know how it was done, that is the reason i ran the test to see if i had the semc certificate, which it did,

but i have noticed ever since i tried ti unlock the bootloader now everytime the phone boots i can hear a very small popping sound coming from inside near the camera, but i dont think software could have caused that,???

everytime i boot it now it says please insert sim and restart phone even with a sim inside i get that message
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] G-FACE:
Seems great and more user friendly :)

Keep up ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tcolec540:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Soulfl:
Thank you + my .05 cents

I still had my old Flash tools 2.1 kit in a folder on my computer.

It does work but...

This tool did work for me using the Azuzu down/up method but it didnt let me know when it was done. First off i used it on win xp pro. After i pressed the button it posted 3 lines including a line involving a transfer and then froze. I left it for several minutes before i had to leave work and closed the unresponsive program. I loaded the upgrade and then Dooms kernal so it did work fine but just didnt say it was done. Not sure if this has to do with the downgrade upgrade method or not but just thought id throw it out as a possible bug. thanks for the program though!
