Impossible boot unlock!!! :-(

Hi guys,

sorry for my bad english. :-P

I try to unlock the boot loader of my X10i but it's a "Mission Impossible".

Now I use a generic stok 2.3.3 rom with some little modifications in framework (battery indicator).

I tryed to unlock bootloader with this rom installed and nothing results.

I tryed to flash the "Generic version 2.1update1 build 2.1.A.0.435" rom. Rooted this rom and tryed to unlock bootloader (Debuging enabled). Nothing.

When I connect the device after downgrade of kernel (with "azuzu kernel downgrade") my X10i reboot and load OS. FlashTool not recognized device and I can't execute qsd8250_semc.cmd in this case. When I try with 2.3.3 rom I can execute qsd8250_semc.cmd but with error to write on device.

Now I returned to my previous ROM (with a xRecover backup) and wait an angel to resolve my actual problem.

Anyone can help me?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
try it again with 2.1 firmware. then u don't have to downgrade kernel, as it's the 2.1 kernel yet and can wait with starting the batch file until u are in os.

Wonderfull! Great!!!

Thankyou very much for your help. ;-)

Now it's all ok.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Eugene1991:
I have a question..

If we flash back the 2.3.3 stock firmware.ftf from SE would it relock the bootloader? or what would happen?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Nothing would happen, you'll just wipe everything and go back to stock.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] floudas:

Thx 9Lukas5 for your "HoW-TO" :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ahmadzxc:
thanks for the great job

but i cant collect the files to do this unlock

I'm not expert and most of the links in the thread leads to another thread

and the steps is complicated

any body can give me the exact files to do this and explain the steps more cause i don't understand which patch you talked about and don't know which kernel should i use ???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Now it's much more easier, you just need to flash back to stock, root then use flashtool to unlock your bootloader if your phone fufills the requirements.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ahmadzxc:
thanks for replay

but do you mean the last flashtool version 0.4.2 ?

by the way what is the requirement ?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Yes I mean flashtool 0.4.2.0

The most important requirement is that you have to check whether your sim lock certificate. It can either be unlocked by semc (using a code from service provider or comes unlocked) or SEtool.

You then have to make sure your phone is on stock firmware and stock kernel.

Once you've had those checked then you can use flashtool to unlock your device.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] motoman992:
Guy i unlocked bootloader thru flashtool but i dont have cwm. Do i need to install it manualy? And do i need custom kernel for that or it can be done with stock? thx
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Cwm is a feature of the kernel. So you have to flash a custom kernel. Try doomkernel for unlocked bl.

Hi, I've already do as your guide and installed doom kernel but I don't know how can I know I've already unlock bootloader. Do you have any tips to check it out?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
You can check with s1tool or in flashtool if you look onto the info lines when you connecting your phone. The loader version has to start with a lower case r. If it's a big one you have still a locked bl.

I don't know about simunlocking. But my X10a was locked to Rogers and then I unlocked it using IMEI unlock code and using it with a different carrier.

Can I still unlock the boot loader using this guide in the thread?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
If you are going to root from 2.3.3, go to flashtool (the newest 0.4.2.0) and go to the advanced tab--->root--->force zergRush.

You should have root now and you can then unlock the bootloader.

I successfully unlocked my bootloader but somehow, my phone no longer reads my T-Mobile US Sim Card. I've even flashed it back to Android 2.1 Stock Rom and it still refuses to read my Sim Card. I may have neglected to check whether or not my x10 bootloader was ready to be unlocked but in any case, I just went ahead and did it anyway. What are my options now? How do I get the x10 which was originally unlocked before to read my T-Mobile Sim Card again? Please guys, I really need some help on this. How do I re-unlock it?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
first try to do the unlock again with the other bat again. If that doesn't help, then u should be able with s1tool I think to relock it.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] x016x:
So wait, I have to relock my bootloader in order for my phone to be unlocked again? What exactly should I do?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
you have only to start the unlock again with the other bat file. No need to relock it to do this.

Regards,

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] x016x:
I still can't get any service with my T-Mobile Sim Card. I ran the qsd8250_setool2.cmd file instead of the qsd8250_semc.cmd file and my phone still won't read my sim card. What am I doing wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Then you uave to relock it. Have a look at dev section, it has to be there anywhere.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hoangluongvinh:
Do I have to flash Kernel downgrade and Kernel upgarede before flash DooMkernel??? :p

Here: ???

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
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
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)
power off phone and flash dooms ck v05-fs with flashtool
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
If your bl is unlocked, you can directly flash the kernel of your choice :D

is there any problem??

i can confirm that my BL is already unlock

i'm using 2 software to identify..

the s1tool and s1tool_2(from 1st page)..

the problem come at s1tool which only show "r" at erom not loader..

s1tool_2 works fine..

can i ignore it??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
ok, u have to look at the erom version ONLY. The r from the loader version depends on, if you are using a se firmware or not. Cause to boot the se kernel you can use the se loader.sin or our edited one. But to boot something unsinged, u need our edited one, cause the se loader wouldn't accept our kernel. But if your bl is locked or unlocked has nothing to do with the loaderversion. Ok?

I flashed this Kernel, then flash M1U1 but phone is not work, phone stopping in bootanimation. Please show me how to install this..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
First, it's nothing abt this thread, so next time send me a pm if you want to talk directly with me.

To your prob: flash a1kernel with flashtool, then the rom and boot it up. Open camera and camcorder, then shut down the phone and flash doomkernel for miui and boot up again. If there is an update, don't wipe data, only cache partitions and system, than your phone will be updated instead of a fresh install and you don't need to flash always a1kernel for flashing new update.

Hi.. I'm new to this flashing.. I have read some threads and got confused of my current Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i status.. I got this phone from my friend.. So,I dont know wether it is SIM unlocked,Bootloader unlocked or not.. But,as far as I know,the phone can accept every SIM card inserted and can work properly.. So,I think it maybe already SIM unlocked.. Tried check Bootloader unlock with s1tool but it gave me nothing.. It stated "Please attach turned off phone" but nothing happen after that.. By the way,the phone is already update through Sony Ericsson official update to Gingerbread 2.3.3.. So,could anyone please give some help? Hereby,I give some information about my phone stated in Settings..

Hi again 9Lukas5, the rar files has the same files that i unrar. I check it open the .7z file with winrar before uncompress it. May be unrar dont see all files? i dont know this but i dont think so.

Another Question....

This line in bat file:

bootTools\adb.exe push bootTools\rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp/expl

is looking for folder call "expl"?? because i dont have this folder in the x10.

i have the rute to "/data/local/tmp/" only.

May be this is the error because bat file cant copy rageageinstthecage and then other all errors?

And another question, to unlock bootloader, is important that the x10 are unlock for telephone company, how can i see it?

Thanks in advance

No. I unlocked my phone by using MultiUnlockClient and you cannot unlock your bootloader if you done it using that method.
