hi, if i use da vinci team or simlock.com to unlock the phone will my bootloader relock? is it affected? my phone is orange UK at the moment and i need it unlocked to all networks.

thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
for such a thing you should first relock bl, then simunlock using setool2 and then unlock bl again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nrd\:
thanks for the reply, i will relock bootloader using s1tool, correct? i just click on restore? and its shuold lock? anyway i can check its a locked again?

setool2? simlock.com gave me this tutorial http://simlock.com/tutorials/instantly-unlock-xperia-x8-x10-family

does this look right to you?

thanks for your help, i appreciate it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
for the first questions of relocking, yes. Checkable it's with s1tool, too. The eeprom version has to start with an upper case r. But becareful!!! Before restoring orginal bootloader, flash stock 2.3.3 firmware!!!!!. If you haven't an stock kernel flashed when you restore the stock bootloader, you can't reunlock. Your device will be hard bricked then!!!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] TheMiltos21:
Nice project thanks for sharing

HELP!!!

i was on 2.1 locked bootloader, unlocked sim network, the phone was working, flashed to 2.3.3 stock, ,rooted, installed recovery, and phone was ok, unlocked bootloader via setool2 using this guide (although i used the latest DoomKernal v6 and flashed WIFI modules )and now no reception?? no service???

ive reflashed 2.3.3, re-locked bootloader using S1tools, verified with 'R' but still no reception, tried another rom still the same can you help please???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nrd\:
OK, revived the phone, simply flashed 2.1 and did a unlock sim from simlock.com 'client4se' software.

Ive checked the phone in s1 tool and i have this..

now how i do unlock this bootloader? thanks.

p.s. i wish the search was working on this forum!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
No, you can't unlock your bootloader with this method and also not with flashtool. it says not recognized simlock certificate. If you would read the colord lines in first post and compare them with the result of s1tool, you wouldn't have asked this question!

You have to simunlock your phone first with setool2. But don't ask me about that, I don't know anything about it.

He did unlock his sim, but not in the suitable method which would allow him to unlock his bootloader...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nrd\:
^ thank you both for the reply, I've finally understood which tools u need. Oh well I've got it working my recycle it for what I bought it for and go for a factory unlocked one...

I don't suppose there is another way to exploit for non setool2 users??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
yes, but if he simunlocks again with setool2, he will be able to unlock bootloader, too. But I don't know if setool2 is free or what it is exactly.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nrd\:
so how comes its not permed brick like expected? i did simply install 2.1 stock, relocked bootloader and retried the simunlock and the phone function is now working?? wifi its all on? maybe this can help ppl who are having radio issues...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
normally, if you have unlocked the bootloader with the wrong of the two files, restoring original bootloader or make the unlock directly with the correct one, brings the signal back to life. In your case, you have simunlocked using a not supported service, so the unlock has made s.th. that is incompatible with it. After relocking bootloader, there are maybe a few other things that are needed for the simunlock you have used, so after doing it again, those things are there again.

P.S: Have you tried to simunlock using your method AFTER bootloader unlock? Maybe this works :eek:

Regards,

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] nrd\:
just tried it dont work, for some reason when you run the simunlock it changes the bootloader to 'R' so unlocks it.

one thing i did notice its lost signal/radio when i applied the dooms ck v05-fs kernal and then wifi mod then flashed custom rom,

prior to that the step, after the azuzu kernel upgrade it rebooted into the rom (stock 2.1) and there was reception, as soon as dooms kernal was applied, flashed a custom rom, there was no reception. and then as above i simunlocked, gained reception/radio back but bootloader was locked :(

do you have to apply the dooms ck kernal??

any ideas? looks like it could work no? trial and error?

EDIT: i think im using the wrong kernal /rom combination, i should be using kernal with 2.3.3 rom after flash? do i have to use dooms CK kernal? because i was on 2.1 when i flashed that, but i did flash 2.3.3 base rom and the reception died?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
This method is ment for people using a 2.3.x rom for locked bootloader. But if the simunlock process is changing the s1 erom version to uppercase R again, this way isn't working. You should request the simunlock service developer to include the bootloader unlock.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Reflash to stock then try the new flashtool. Maybe your kernel is not matching.

It's also said that it is not working with a few custom roms.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
no, it seems that you have simunlocked your phone with anything other than setool2 --> you can't unlock your bootloader until you simunlock your phone again with setool2 (which I don't know anything about).

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] indesisiv:
Never mind .. sorted it .... flashed generic 2.3 then flashed the bootloader relock ftf file ... all sorted :)

Can anyone give me step by step as to what i specifically need to do to relock the bootloader. I'm giving my phone to someone who needs it in a completely stock state.

Don't want to do anything stupid now that i have finished with it.

What firmware and/or kernel do i need to be on to relock and not brick it? I may need to unlock in the future :)

I have "Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897.ftf" for flashtool ... can i just flash that then use setool to lock?

Then use PC companion to update it back to gingerbread?

Hi, I'm selling my x10i and I'm thinking of getting one of the new Sony S models, I was wondering is it possible to unlock etc these phones with this Flash tool.

Also I want to relock the bootloader on my x10i before I sell it, how do I go about doing this.

Thanks in advance for any replys.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
First of all, reflash stock 2.3.3. It's very important that you have any stock kernel flashed when you relock.

Then go to flashtool and click flash, flashmode and search for the blrelock v1.ftf and flash it. Then your bootloader should be locked again.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Please don't ask such questions and simply read. The threadtitle itself sais it yet "Unlock Bootloader" not unlock network. So no, you'll stay locked to o2 with this method.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maniaco84:
stay cool friend, was a simple question .. :) than I guess that for unlock the network there is nothing for free, right? thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
I don't know this exactly, but I think there are a few services. But becareful which one u use, make sure, that if you simunlock your X10, you can also bootloader unlock it after the simunlock.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maniaco84:
ok, now I understand, then I'll try to get it unlocked already, I should not take risks, right?:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
I ment, don't "simply" unlock your network with the first option you find. If you find a free one, first make sure, that you can use the given bootloader unlock after it, too.

Hi,

I was trying to follow your guide to unlock my bootloader

however the kernel upgrade and downgrade files are all missing....

I was wonder if this method works as well or not.

and do i need to be on stock rom/kernel for unlocking?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NuriJ:
Hi,

I think stock rom/kernel is recommended and yes, you can also unlock bootloader using flashtool.

Both methods should work.

I have also edited the OP, because Flashtool is surely the simplest and recommend way atm.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lucaoldb:
Thanks a lot for the how to. Very clear.

There is just one thing that I cannot understand that is why, after kernel downgrading, bl unlocking, kernel upgrading and rebooting I should flash one of the kernel you alleged, instead of the kernel for unlocked bl suitable for my current rom.

I mean, I currently have Mohicans Cobrato gb 2.3.7 and for such rom Cobrato released some kernels, since the standard doom kernel doesn't fit to such rom...

Am I saying something silly or should I use another kernel?

Thanks in advance.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:

Thanks, I am stiil a noob and very careful....almost scary!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lucaoldb:
Ok, something went wrong and I half bricked my phone...

I used flashtool on an old windows xp pc (I mostly use linux) and I managed both to flash downgrade and upgrade (this one, just to recover the phone working) but I didn't manage to unlock the bootloader, because the qsd8250_semc told me in italian: "Impossibile trovare il percorso specificato", that is "Impossible to find the specified path".

For now, I am still happy that the phone still works, but I don't get what went wrong, because I followed you guide (which is so clear) step by step.

May it be a matters of drivers (my pc required the installation of drivers of any type at least 5 times and it was always successful) or the qsd8250_semc must be set in any way that I don't know? I just put it on the desktop and ran it, is it correct?

I suppose it must be something simple, but I don't get it!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lucaoldb:
No, it is not sure at all. You can use this method if you have never simunlocked at all or if you have simunlocked by settool2. That's all.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
it's not for 100% safe, you should check as described in op with s1tool, or simply (also as written in first-line of op) use flashtool and unlock with that. If flashtool doesn't unlock, it's because it has tested it before, if you can do it safely.

it's possible that other simunlock tools are also compatible with the bl unlock, but we don't know which or if there are any, so simply always test it, then you can be sure.

flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool --done OK

disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly --done OK

connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo) --done OK

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) --done OK

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!!)--done OK... results SUCESS

after unlocking is finish you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade--this is where my phone stops.. vibrates but still remain blank... need HELP please

So, am I just stuck with the ROM I've got forever, or what? I'll try to uninstall then reinstall Flashtool, then maybe try restoring the phone backup I made before I started. Any other ideas?

ETA: ROM was (and still is) TEAM ROM, Gingerbread. My PC is Win7x64. Also have xRecovery on my X10

Until you flash a custom kernel, the se logo will appear. So if you unlock bootloader and as described in first post boot up phone to check if the current firmware is working yet, optically shouldn't be anything different. The se logo dissapears with the step you are flashing doomkernel. After that you should see the xperia logo instead the white se text.
