Have tested before you unlocked bl with s1tool if you can do it? If not and you aren't sure if you were allowed to, please relock bl and tell me if you get signal again.

Flashing wifi modules is only necessarry if you flash a custom kernel. If he hasn't flashed an ck yet, that's not the problem and the signal don't look at the wifi module, only the wifi(wlan) is looking for them, the normal signal and mobil data aren't touched from the wifi modules.

trouble unlocking/flashing

decided to unlock bl and did what the instructions say.

was on WB v06s (stock) when i tried unlocking bl.

so far it was ok but when i tried to flash Doom's kernel, i got this message:

12/041/2011 10:41:11 - INFO - Flashing loader

12/041/2011 10:41:11 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

12/041/2011 10:41:11 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on

12/041/2011 10:41:11 - INFO - Then go to application settings

12/041/2011 10:41:11 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging

turned the phone on and Unknown Sources + Debugging is currently ticked.

retried flashing Doom's kernel and still the same.

i'm not so sure if my whole attempt now is succesful. I'm still getting the Sony Ericsson line at restart then the bootanimation after. phone is functioning normal tho like nothing happened.

any thoughts?

thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:

i have practically no idea what all those things meant :p

still clueless on whether i was successful in unlocking BL since i still couldn't flash DooM's kernel to get rid of SE boot logo.

i'm thinking of running the whole process again and see if it'll work this time but just worried i might get into some problems for trying to unlock bl again.

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

did the whole process again but instead of flashing kernel upgrade, i went straight to flashing DooM's kernel. No more SE logo during boot so i guess that's a success.

Problem now is, i still get error when switching wifi even after installing DooM's wifi module from xrec.

trying to see how to go about this now.....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jazenf:
Now I have a problem, my sim was unlocked when I had my phone but after using this unlock bootloader, it removed the the sim unlock. When I start my phone it ask me to put my sim in when it's already in the phone. Next .. my phone is a GSM/WCDMA, but it's also picking up AWS network as well.

I'm so lost right now, how can I fix this issue, can you help a brotha out :-(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
is your phone factory simunlocked or have you unlocked it using setool2 or maybe an other software?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jazenf:
My phone was factory simunlocked... I believe, I got off of Craigslist.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
then you have to use the semc.bat to unlock your bootloader. Have you used the setool2.bat?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jazenf:
I tried and it didn't work for me, sometimes I would get a signal but as soon as I make a call it says "out of service area" then hangs up.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
ok, then try the following please, install latest doomkernel (if you don't using one of the latest builds yet), make a backup of your current rom in cwm5 and then reflash se 2.3.3 gb with flashtool and try to make a call there and report me back if you had success or not.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] jazenf:
I will try it right now and get back you ....

thanks again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ve6ay:
I had followed (most of) the instructions - I didn't need to do the kernel downgrade or upgrade, since when I did this, I was running the stock 2.1 firmware from Rogers. HOWEVER, as soon as I flashed myself back up to the 2.3 firmwares, I lost the ability to send / receive SMS messages. The network said they were delivered, but none are showing up on my phone. I was running DoomKernel v04FS when I did this.

So I re-locked my bootloader, and am tempted to try again (this time from a 2.3).

From S1Tool, I get the following:

I'm assuming that the bolded line means I'm not simlocked, by using the SEMC method ? So I should be able to go ahead and use the SEMC unlock and go from there ?

I got my unlock code from an unlocker site in the UK, and it worked, as I had a Telus SIM card in and it received signal no problem. So I know the unlock worked, but I'm curious as to why I wouldn't be able to SMS...

Help please ? You all are awesome !

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kenectd:
i think bypass (is that the one that installs with the rom?) well yes when i install the roms with my locked bootloader the kernels changed with the roms but with unlocked it stays as DooMLoRD v05.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Yep, that's expected. On unlocked kernels splboot isn't working. That's why it's also unnecessary now to have xrecovery.tar on system or to move the offline chargin to charger. Kernel is only changeable through flastool atm. But if you flash a new rom, you always have to flash the wifi modules again wih recovery. If you forget, you won't have wifi.

if your phone unlocked by 3rd-party software other than setool2, do not run anything -

it will disable radio capability of your phone and you will need to unlock phone by setool2 software.

hopefully, mizerable flea and mOxImKo will release something similar for your phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bharadwaj1991:
ten_tickles, are you sure your phone was properly unlocked and fit the criteria. I think maybe it was a third party unlock and the_laser warned not to do that or you would lose your radio signal.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
does yours get past boot logo?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] robertberma:
No stock on SE logo because i downgrade kernel. Luckas said that flashtool would reconize my x10
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ten_tickles:
OH NUTS! Is there a way to fix this? I'm such a dumb ass! :( :eek:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
looks like we're on the same boat! doesnt look like this is turning out good!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bharadwaj1991:
Only way to 'fix' it would be to sim-unlock your phone again with setool2, which I have no idea if you can just buy it and unlock it or you need a toolbox or whatever. All I know is it isn't free...as of now...maybe the_laser will do something to fix this.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Candy[MAN]:
I followed the instructions (which are similar to rooting 2.3) and was able to successfully unlock my bootloader on my X10a.

PERFECT!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
ok, a few things to say maybe:

With recognizing the x10 I haven't ment that flashtool is recognizing it as x10, I ment that flashtool recognizes that there is any phone. My flashtool version is 0291 beta and it has asked me which phone I have connected when if recognized the phone. And then I have started the unlocking by changing to the cmd window and starting the process by pressing any key. Then I saw that the cmd for every step killed and started adb again. That's why I decided to close my flashtool window. After that adb wasn't killed and reloaded constantly.

Second thing maybe to say, first I thought that anthing went wrong, cause the usb unpluggeg tone came on windows and the se textlogo disappeard --> phone restarted, but after restart everything was going on I think. Don't know exactly if the command line window told me before or after the reboot that everything is good. And i have used the semc file, not the setool2 one, cause I never have done anything for simunlocking, cause mine is factory unlocked.

Third, if anything isn't working, could you write if you have anytime tried a simunlock and if you have a x10a or i please.

Cheers

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
simply download the 7z archive from the_laser, then extract the whole archieve to a folder, go into this folder and don't move any file, simply run the batch file.

the semc bat is for x10i and x10a. But only if you haven't tried any simunlocking

the setool2 bat is for all those have simunlocked using the setool2

for those doesn't fit any of those two critericas, don't try to unlock bootloader

Sorry, I can't repeat the procedure now but there's not much detail in the message. Right after pressing back button and plug the usb cable to enter flash mode, flashtools gives me the abort message and jumps right to the end "unplug device, restart and turn on USB debugging".

I used the flashtools version that came with fxp041 CM7.1 file (which is 0.2.9.1 I guess), when i get home i'll try again with the 0.3 version.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
So does that mean, you have now successfully flashed a custom kernel? If not, I wanted that you copy/paste for me the exact message of the flashrool window, to check if you have successfully unlocked your bl.

edit: Even without unlocking, flashing this kernel would have worked or not? No one else complained about this kernel on the fxp thread so it must be me, not the file.

I'm going back to start and trying to figure out what went wrong, I've installed the latest drivers from the first page, maybe i've done something wrong during the kernel downgrade, unplug, turn phone on and plug it back right after vibrating, that can be a little tricky.

I keep on receiving "Access is denied" with the BL unlocker. However, SEtools says I can use qsd8250 to do so. I've tried on 2.3.3 stock, and 2.1 stock, rooted.

Anyone have any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] a.monteiro:
success.

My damn antivirus was blocking the SEMC.bat, that's why all the error messages appeared, disabled it and it was easy breezy. DOH! :p

But instead of doing the azuzu downgrade kernel method i decided to go back to 2.1. This method has always been problematic for my device and i could never root the phone using it, to be honest, going back to 2.1 isn't that big of a hassle using flashtools.

Now i'm on the official cyanogenmod from fxp, exciting! :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] webshocker:
i've a question

is it absolutely important to upgrade to dooms ck v05-fs or any custom kernel after unlocking is finished and you have flashed azuzu kernel upgrade.

isn't the bootloader unlocked by now. what if i would like to keep my stock kernel

Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
then keep it, but I would try to flash any ck for unlocked bl to test if it is working. Or you check again with s1tool if the 'R' is upper or lower case. if it's lower case you have successfully unlocked, if not, there was anything wrong.
