Isnt this tutorial a bit old fashioned ? Perhaps it could be updated to latest flash-tool version which is easier to unlock...

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Agera:
If thats the case then please provide us with the said easier method :)

Cheers.

Does anyone know if there is anyway to unlock BL, If you unlocked your phone via MultiUnlockClient ?

Thanks for any help Jacko
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MadMike10:
Start Flashtool

Turn on phone

Connect phone

Go to plugins -> Bootloader unlock

Follow instructions ...

This is what i did right now, hope it worked ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Agera:
Tried that.. the plugins box wont open for me to click anything...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MadMike10:
Yes for me too First time ... Hmmm.. I installed drivers from the drivers Directory of the flashtool First ... And it only worked for me when the phone was turned on and connected ...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] phobias1903:
-flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool

-disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)

start the batch file for unlocking bootloader, cause it says press any button before it starts, it won't start unlocking until you press any button

-now wait until flashtool recognizes your x10 (if flashtool doesn't do anything, check third post please! thx)

-close flashtool and then press any button in the cmd window that the unlocking process starts (please close flashtool, instead the bl unlock cmd and flashtool are constantly killing and restarting adb!!)

-after unlocking is finish you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade

i'm stuck at this final step. i run the semc batch file, it did what it should do (i guess) and gave me that "Operation succesful. Press any key to continue" message.

phone stucks at sony ericsson screen. i can get into xrecovery. i wiped dalvik cache and retried but flash tool doesn't see the phone so that i can not make azuzu kernel upgrade.

i've installed semc flash drivers etc.

any help?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Riddo:
Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

I unlocked the BL using the flashtool and I'm currently running one of the custom kernels available, as I'm going abroad soon I was wondering if I can take down the simlock safely to use local number ?

I really don't want to brick my phone :D

Thanks again, and sorry if this question is in the wrong thread.

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NuriJ:
I think u need to lock bootloader & then take down simlock.. or u can just stay unlocked:D

1) lock bootloader

2) Take down simlock (Before u go abroad)

3) Unlock bootloader using the guide from 9Lucas5 (sticky thread) & use setool.bat file
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
What LzVebz said is surely the safest method I think. Only one thing I want to add:

Before you simunlock your phone, check if you can do the bootloader unlock with this simunlock method. Cause if not, I think you can't unlock again atm.

Regards,

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Riddo:
Thanks a lot guys,

Now I'm not sue if I want to simunlock my phone at all :D

What about buying the sim unlock code could I use it without following these steps ? AS originally I wanted to give it to a shop to get it unlocked

Thanks again
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
That would be ok, too. But I ment, if you thought abt to use e.g. mulitunlock client. From that simunlock method I know you can't bootloaderunlock your phone. But if you relock your bl, give it to the shop to unlock it and then check with s1 tool, you should get back the same output as before.

Regards,

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pratikjac:
I am not able to understand this. I got my phone unlocked from the carrier (AT&T) so i can use any sim card in it. does 'simunlocked' means carrier unlocked or it refers to something else?

Also, where do i find this file semc.bat????
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] leobg:
My phone was simlocked (Rogers Canada), which I unlocked by code purchased online. Yesterday I decided to unlock the bootloader to see if DoomLord's kernel can refresh the experience a bit, I did it using the latest flashtool and all went fine - no issues whatsoever.

I think above statement is if you have used tool other than original unlock code (like setools) to circumvent the simlock. If you unlocked by code - you should be fine unlocking the bootloader (verified by me).
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Ok, the easiest and safest method atm is flashtool. But if you want to use this, or ft doesn't work for you, simply do this:

go to 2nd post and dl s1tool. Then test your phone with it and if you get

"semc ..." in one of the last lines use semc.bat

"setool2 ..." in one of the last lines setool2.bat

If nothing from those is seen and instead any unknown certificate is found, you can't bl unlock your phone for the moment.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Tell us the kernel version and the firmware version on your phone...

Normally the new flashtool plugin should work when you are on stock kernel and firmware, and rooted.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SPecTRuM001:
I use 2.6.29 mod FXP-Doomkernel-v06 DooMLoRD@chaos and FeraLab 2012 v3.0 baseband 2.1.71
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
for locked or unlocked bl?^^
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SPecTRuM001:
I use for locked bootloader because I can't use unlocked pass flashtool
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Have you tried this method?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SPecTRuM001:
yes I tried it but that isn't same result in this method
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Then make a nandroid backup of your current rom, flash stock 2.3.3 with flashtool and after that try to unlock your bootloader with flashtool. If it is working, flash the desired ulbl kernel and restore your nandroid backup.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] deveron3:
I believe he means to backup your existing install using xrecovery or cwm. Usually suggested as a failsafe, in case you need to go back to your old rom.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
have you tried yet to flash a custom kernel for unlocked bootloader? Cause it seems that he has transferred some files. But maybe you should try to disable your antivirus and firewall programs, reextract the archive again and try it again and don't enable your antivirus/firewall programs during the whole process.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Moreover he needs to be on stock kernel.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lux@:
Thanks for your answer!

Now I have unlook bootloader. First I flashed Stock Kernel and then I use only FlashTool to unlook BL! :D

Very easy! :D

Hi im stuck here:-

thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xcxa23:
harlo.. u r from msia rite?? hehee.. :D

u can follow my guide here.. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19840293&postcount=163

i unlocked mine using this method and its working great

ps: skip those step that u have done
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kamparperak:
Yeah, I'm from perak. Good to see some1 from msia 2. OK I get ur msg, but I already done downgrade n upgrade using this method. Only stuck while flashing customkernel. But I don't even know whether I unlocked bl or not cos after SE bootloop I tried like 6times then only can reboot my x10. OK, now can I just try ur method n just ignore what I did b4, etc, no need dwgraded again? Also when with flashtool flashing kernel, which should I choose, loader.sin or kernel.sin?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xcxa23:
well, it seems like it was still locked cos u still see the SE logo. for UBL to work, u need to downgrade the kernel 1st. this is absolute. so the 1st thing u need to do is now u downgrade the kernel and then follow my tutorial.

and u jz need to choose the kernel, it does not matter u highlight which .sin file.

ps : try clicking twice on the kernel cos sometimes i experience flashing the wrong kernel although i am sure i had click the right 1. remember to follow exactly the tutorial i wrote

:D happy trying
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Eugene1991:
ok why not just flash 2.3.3 firmware and use the latest flashtool 0.6.7 and root.. then go to plugin>Unlock Bootloader?? Isn't that much easier? I unlocked mine that way. Easy..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xcxa23:
hmmm.. im guessing he dun1 to lose his current data/setting?:confused:

if follow the guide, no nd to wipe data, reflash the rom and set everything again
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kamparperak:
Oh I din know can do it that way. So now can I just reflash the rom n follow Eugene's way?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kamparperak:
Happy to see M'sian here. Ok, i just reflashed ThGo2_v13 rom. I opened flashtool 0.6.7, then i click the plugin, but there's nothing there, so where do i go from here?

Thanks a lot guys.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xcxa23:
if my memory serve me correctly, the flashtool boatloader unlocked plugin was remove. nt sure though.

is the guide too hard? :D how bout gip it a go? i manage to unlock mine using that. or u can jz follow the guide provided in this thread. both oso will work
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kamparperak:
No, ur guide is simple, more easier. I guess i'll just follow ur guide. Many thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Eugene1991:
You got it all wrong.. You have to flash the stock firmware 3.0.1.G.0.75 global or CUST-MY from the firmware thread(Not any custom ROM..), then use flashtool 0.6.7, root, wait for it to reboot, plugin>unlock bootloader.

This is for me the easiest way to unlock the bootloader hehe..

Unlocking bootloader causes NO SIGNAL problem

Hi everybody

I bought a X10a , I didn't know that its sim unlocked or not

I tried to unlock bootloader using this thread then bootloader unlocking successfully done ! but ! my phone signal gone ! now I flashed X10i 2.1 build number 435 , X10i 2.3 stock frameware , X10a 2.1 build number X10a_2.0.2.A.0.24_Generic , x10a Rogers_2.1.1.A.0.6_55 and X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic but in any of them I had no signal.

I used S1 tool to relock my bootloader and then flashed any rom using flash tool but there is still no signal.

when I turn on my phone I must insert my pin code but after that say insert simcard and there is still no signal !

the S1 tool identify my device as : NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE

and said MAYBE YOU SHOULD UNLOCK PHONE BY SETOOL2 ?

now I need a solution for my problem plz everyone who can help me :confused::confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arrowthefirst:
so, I have never had simlock on my x10, have never simunlocked.

After kernel downgrade Flashtool writes "bootloader status UNROOTABLE"

Does it mean that I cant unlock it anyway?

Also it says me to install drivers, but I have Companion, Seus, ggsemc & have installed FT drivers (but there was an error "cannot edit some ddl windows file" at the end

What can I do? Install sock rom, root it and try again? Help pls
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] altitude909:
I had a hell of a time getting this to work correctly. I did it once but then relocked my BL for some testing and for whatever reason could not remember what I was missing to get it unlocked again.

Solution: use the plugin in flashtool to unlock BL

Just connect it with USB debug on (just like if you were going to root it) and the unlock BL should appear under plugins (it needs a compatible kernal), after that just follow the instructions in flashtool. Worked perfected 1st time. No close this/run that
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] starsunali:
is there anyone to help me plz ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arrowthefirst:
what kernel did u use? there are no plugins 4 me availiable in FT:(

I'm using 2.6.29-modFXP-DooMKernel-v04b, but still no plugins
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
if s1tool said that, simunlocking with setool2 is only the way. --> for now relock bootloader with s1tool, unlock with setool2 and then you can unlock your bl again.

Rooted stock 2.3.3

Boot the rom, make sure usb debugging is on, start flash tool (i used the latest one) plug the usb in and flash tool should now have it as an option
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] unimatrix725:
Well it f*ct me. Was not aware that omnius would relock my bootloader, else I would not have wasted $100 for licenses and yr pass. I used Omnius and it unlocked network. Then I used the script to unlock if you used Omnius. Ectracted it to the same folder as the ormal unlocker. Ran it and it was looking good promted for a power cycle. Removed cord and battery. Put battery back in, pressed power.... Nothing. So I said well try this and that, Ill just put it in flashmode and reflash. My phone refuses flashmode no led light, it refuses to light up on charger too. The screen is completely dark! I would say DO NOT DO IT! If someone can help that would really be appreciated. Made a comment about selling my omnius licenses with 1yr pass/access, I really mean it now. If I cannot fixit then that will help me buy a new phone and this time its gonna be a moto!

Well its Official I have BRICKED MY PHONE! I am not about to pay another 100$ for a bootloader repair tool plus the cost for a box and a jtag. Too bad I cant repurpose my blackcat jtag and fix it....

THERE WERE WARNINGS FOR A REASON! UNLESS YOU HAVE A MEDUSA BOX AND APPROPRIATE CABLES DONT DO IT! Else you will end up like me and Buy a Droid X2!

Hello.

I have got the phone unlocked and rooted with stock rom. When I try to check with s1tool if it is bootloader locked or not, I got error like this:

llbug:[\\?\USB#VID_0FCE&PID_E168#43423541314837373336#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}] open error: "The system cannot find the file specified"

I have tried many times with all kinds of drivers and etc. but always that error, so I have give up.

Can I assume that bootloader is locked? Can I install kernel and rom versions for locked bootloader? Will they work too, if bootloader is unlocked?

Nobody doesn`t know some info about it? Can I install locked versions of kernel&rom? Will it work? I am new at this phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] chaoscreater:
Hey guys, 2 quick questions.....

What does this mean:

I don't understand what simunlocking means. Does this mean unbranding? E.g. if you buy from Vodafone then it's branded so it's locked to that network. Or is simunlocking simply locked to a specific sim card? I don't get it....

2nd and most important question, will an unlocked bootloader stay unlocked forever? If I flash a different firmware, will it break the unlocked bootloader and make it locked again? For rooting, this is definitely the case. But i'm not sure about bootloaders.....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
ul bootloader stays forever. Flashing another firmware doesn't lock it again.

To the simlock, you're right with your theory.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Memhis:
Will post this, maybe it will help someone...
