Did you unlock it with a code or did the software require your phone to be plugged into the computer. If you put in a code then you can go ahead and unlock bootloader using semc version; HOWEVER, if you unlocked sim using a software that required your phone to be plugged into pc...then DON"T DO IT...you will lose your radio capabilities. Or you can do it...and be a guinnea pig and figure out a way to get radio working again...cuz i am on the same boat...and waiting for bootloader unlock for my third party sim unlocked phone. Plus there is a program, s1tool.7z, that the_laser uploaded that should detect if your eligible.

BTW: the_laser said hopefully mizerable flea and maximkov (name spelt wrong...i'm lazy to look up the correct spelling) will release a third party sim unlock bootloader unlock file. I and like others probably are just dying of waiting...does anybody know anything about this?

dont think I got it working, but I had a different question. What way are you supposed to flash the Doom kernel? I downloaded it as a .zip Do I need to change it to a .ftf? or just place the .zip into xRecovery and flash it there?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DaveHTC200:
flash with flashtool as a .ftf :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] highaltitude:
Are you sure? I thought somewhere earlier in this thread someone said not to use Flash tool?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] monteiro-ribas:
i flashed mine with ftf after unlock bootloader and everything went fine

also did a recovery from offical pc companion and also all ok

THE UNLOCK is forever :D

You can flash anything u want but after you have to flash doom pre rooted ftf kernel to have x recovery
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] highaltitude:
I got it, I got it, I got it! I followed these instructions. What I was missing was 2 things I think.

1. I was doing the batch file too early. (steps 5-6) You have the batch file open, but DONT hit a button yet. You have to wait until the phone is seen by flash tool, then completely close flash tool. Once it is closed, then hit a button for CMD.

2. The other thing which may not make a difference but I didnt realize it at the time was, when you downgrade and upgrade the kernels, you do have the choice of selecting next to the kernel, loader.sin or kernel.sin. I selected kernel each time I downgraded and upgraded this time around. May not matter, but I made that change and between these 2 steps it worked.

3. Downloaded Doomkernel.zip and changed extension to .ftf and used flashtool to flash it. NO MORE SE LOGO!!! Unlocked!

*on the downside I Dont have wifi for some reason*
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jazdevi:
I've tried this a few times now, but everytime I only get a bunch of "blabla can't run" and "This program can't run blabla". Only rough translations and definetly not correct, since it's in another language for me .

Flash downgrade, wait for vibration, put in usb, wait for flash tool to see the phone, close flash tool and press a key on the already opened CMD window.

All I get is a bunch of can't open spam. I'm guessing that's now how it's supposed to be. Do you need anything else besides those requirements?

edit: Solved it by turning off my AV

Hi @9Lukas5. I installed PC Comp on my home pc. I forgot how to install drivers. What I slightly remember is to make phone in flash mood and connect with PC. This way drivers will be installed. Am I right? If yes, how I know the drivers are installed. If no, please let me know how I do that. I want to do all fresh insallation on my home pc for future use. As I mentioned in my earlier mail, I am not sure I could unlock BL so I want to do it again and by the way you said in your above mail that I check pc driver manager. You mean device manager? When I connected my phone in flash mode, A device :"SEMC HSUSB Devicer" was added with yellow ?mark. It means that BL is not unlocked. But I am confused with Xperia boot animation when I boot my phone. Would you please guide me from where now I start. I am sorry to bother you for probably childish queries but thats what I am in this tech area of action. Thanks very much once again
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] totalundone:
I unlocked mine via htccodes as well. I was going on vacation and couldn't wait for the code (i had been waiting 4 weeks already). I checked my phone with the s1tool program and it looks like it's all good.

However, I've yet to unlock the bootloader on my phone. When kernels get released that require an unlocked bootloader, I'll do it then.

On a slightly different subject. For those that unlocked and lost their radio, can you get into the sim unlock screen? I have my unlock pin and am just wondering if it doesn't work, can I just then go ahead and input my pin to fix that security issue (if applicable).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Ok, the yellow questionmark in your device manager (your right I ment device manager, not driver manager) has nothing to do with if your bl is locked or unlocked. It only says you, that there is a device connected to the pc, for which the system hasn't a driver, so it's a unknown device for your system. Go to the third post of the thread, there's a step-for-step explanation for installing the flash drivers (in the device manager shown as anything with flash...) and the adb drivers (thats the hsusb device you see in your device manager currently). Follow the steps in the third post for installing the drivers and then try the bl unlock procedure again.

Ich schreibe mal deutsch da mein englisch nicht gut ist.

Habe version 2.1 mit dem flashtool geflasht.

wollte dann eine beliebige taste drücken um den bootloader unlock zu starten.

dann ging mein handy einfach aus und jetzt schaltet es sich nichtmehr ein. Es reagiert auf garnichts... Nichtmal die LED leuchtet wenn ich das ladekabel einstecke.

-.-

-------------------

I flashed with the flash version 2.1 tool.

wanted to press any key to unlock the boot loader to start.

then went out of my cell phone just now and it does not turn on more. It responds to nothing ... Not even the LED lights up when I plug the charging cable.

Dann kanns aber nicht vom unlock kommen oder so, denn es wurde überall der zugriff verweigert --> es wurde nichts am handy geändert.

kriegst du's handy in flashmodus?

The pone can't be damaged from the unlock cmd cause the access always were denied. I asked him if he can get phone into flashmode.

no, it does nothing more. LED lights when either the load or I get to flash mode .... is as dead

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Giskardors:
Hi guys im a bit confused.

Im on 2.1 rooted.

I go fine until this part:

now power on phone to check if the phone is starting after the unlock (if you are using a custom kernel yet with the bypass method and get stuck in a bootloop enter xrecovery and clear dalvik-cache, then your phone should boot up again fine)

After I flash the upgrade, the phone boots, but theres no xrecovery, no root anymore, everything wiped...So what Im doing wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
excuse if I ask, but what do you want to do with the rommanager?? Cause there is nothing to do with the rommanager.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] prasad.adam:
Close Flashtool if running. Also kill adb process in task manager. Then try the qsd command. That should help.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
What upgrade did you flash?

If you have flashed a 2.3.3 stock rom, then of course you'll have no root and recovery since unlocking the bootloader does not imply that you'll have root and recovery access automatically.

However with an unlocked bootloader you can use the 'kernel patch' method to root and recovery implemented at kernel level as well. To root + install recovery you'll just have to flash the stock rooting kernel made by DooMLoRD and you'll have recovery as well.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bharadwaj1991:
Jacko_oafc,

I am on the same boat as you and used the same software.

Bad News1: No, you cannot unlock the bootloader of your phone without losing radio capabilities. "NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE"

Bad News2: No, their hasn't been a work around for this yet.

However if you are a brave man; DO IT. I want to figure out how to get this radio thing to work. Actually started a Q&A thread about this moments ago : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1258086

Jeetdevgun,

Make sure in rootexplorer you have made sure you clicked on RW at the top so that you can edit system files. You will probably get more help if you actually go to the DoomKernel thread where i've read alot with similar issues and answers to those issues.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
If you are still locked, use SE tools 2 to unlock your sim.

If you have used another service to unlock your sim, then sorry you can't use this particular exploit to unlock the bootloader.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cebees:
Sorry, but must ask.

I've read through the whole thread, it seems that it won't instantly recognize the phone and could be so long to take it.

I've tested about 'unknown device' and I found nothing, my PC recognize it as SEMC Mass Storage USB device (and CD-Rom).

The screen stucked at SE logo (as expected)....

So, only question, how long should I wait? 5 mins 10 mins? before the flashtool recognize it again.

Note: When I went back to upgraded kernel, flashtool recognized my device correctly during the kernel loading (SE logo).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Well if you have no luck with this method, try downgrading to 2.1, root and start from there.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jacko_oafc:
Thanks for the reply. No i used Multi Unlock client tool, i used HTCCODE.COM to unlock :mad: Look like i will have to wait then :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
if s1tool says, you should try to unlock using setool2, do it, then test again with s1tool and you should be ok to unlock bl. ALSO if you have simunlocked your phone yet with another method, do it again with setool2 and you should get another output from s1tool as before.

Regards,

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jacko_oafc:
Is that directed at me ? if it is i'll give it a go.

Thanks.

EDIT: has anyone got a link for setools2 when i go to the link if gives you in s1tools the rapidshare link has expired. Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cebees:
Thx, yup downgrading painfully work. lol
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bharadwaj1991:
Just to let you know you have to pay to unlock your sim AGAIN with setool2. However I don't know if you need to use the se toolbox that goes with the service and that can run you over a hundred bucks...I suggest you wait...Read my last post directed at you. jack.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jacko_oafc:
Sorry never seen your post, Yea i know what you mean :( I was thinking that you would have to pay to unlock again via SEtools. I think i will leave it then untill there is an away around it. Unless i get board and decide to do it lol :rolleyes:

But what do you mean by radio signal ? the actual phone sigal that connects to your network ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bharadwaj1991:
You guessed it. Your phone can longer call people and your data will no longer work. But everything else will, wifi, internet, what not. Just cannot be used as a phone...haha it will be like an ipod touch...instead of an iphone. the_laser said hopefully unlock(free) will be made for phones like yours and mine...so maybe wait a little longer until your mind gets the best of you and you decide to just sim unlock again using setools.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jacko_oafc:
Haha like an ipod touch :D Someone said that it is a permanent loss of it aswell. So i think i will give it a miss. Hopefully laser will do it quite soon and then we can have an unlocked BL:cool:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bharadwaj1991:
It is permanent...until you reunlock SIM using setools. Then unlock bootloader again with setool2 version and radio signal should come back. But yeah i'm waiting...

Hi 9Lukas5: I am back to the office machine where I have all the necessay files. As you previously advised, In Flash mood, I checked device manager and could not find any unknown device and than turned on the phone and found "Sony Ericsson Sa102" in process section along with Intel CPU. Does it mean that I have SE drivers loaded in the machine. I want to mentioned one more development during the weekend, WB released his newer versioin of FW which I installed and now when I rebooted the phone, I found Xperia and WB boot animation but no Sony Ericsson BA. Previously I had 3 BA; Xperia, Sony Erisson & Thjab.

My current Kernel is 2.6.29-00054-g5101537 SEMCUser@SEMCHost#1, which I think is stock SE kernal.

Can you now analyze where I am standing at this point. Locked or Unlock BL. And should I flash Dooms kernal again? Or what should I do now? Please advise.

Hi all,

i´ve done it in a few minutes using @my_inmortal how-to. Tnx. Worked perfectly. ;)

But i´ve got a HUGE problem. And nobody talked about it before in this thread.

Battery drain is DRAMATICAL.

I mean, before unlocking bootloader, using DooMLord´s V04b Kernel, battery lasted for 2 days perfectly. Now, with same use, Kernel and ROM ( Wolf´s V4.0.4 & V5 - Unlocked Bootloader-Ready ), i´m losing 10% per hour. :eek::(

Of course doin´usual wipes etc...

Sorry if it´s a little bit OT, but it happened as soon as i unlocked bootloader, so... any help would be soooo appreciated. :rolleyes:
