Arghh alright, There was a thread about it and a member on here called Blagus said if you unlocked it via Omnius you can do it. I will have to message him and see if he can still do it.

Ok with regards to this im still new to all this i have been able to root flash and use xrec and cwm im now using oodie 4.3 miui rom.. but i would like to unlock the bl...

in the first few points first point is fine but are we supposed to have stool1 open when we have downgraded the flash? and also is adb supposed to be open at the same time? and what is the cmd? im just a little confused after points 3-7.. is there anyway you could further explain it to me in a simpler way? or is there a how to on youtube? I know im asking alot here im one of those types of people who need to watch something to understand it better...unless if its been elaborated enough in text..

Thank you.

Umm... Can an unlocked(bootloader unlocked) phone be re-locked again. (only bootloader I'm talking about. This has nothing to do with sim lock. My phone is generic global. Didn't come with a sim lock at all)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Yes ofcourse. It is possible via s1tool

Does unlocked bootloader reduce battery life?? I have a feeling that it has reduced my battery life. (not a dev level brain inside my head but I can't figure why locking or unlocking of bootloader can affect battery? It should be a kernel issue not bootloader issue I guess)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
And what governor you use.

I for example use doomkernel v6 with min/max 192/1113, interactiveX and bfq as i/o sheduler. And beside of that I'm undervolting my cpu as much as I can, cause that is one of the effectivest methodes of battery saving ;)

(btw Brazilianwax gives good battery but is laggy)

i was asking in general though that if unlocking bootloader can reduce battery life (suppose using stock kernel in both cases, same governor, scheduler etc...)

hey Lukas, azuzus ftf file did not work for me so instead decided to flash 2.1, managed to then run qsd8250_semc.cmd sucessfully. what would be the next appropriate step cause ive im not havin luck here..? thanx
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
if the cmd showed you no error, first boot up your phone without flashing any ck to see if the unlock process stops your rom working. If your phone boots up, I think you have succesfully unlocked your bootloader, to test this, flash with flashtool the official 2.3 and if this has succesfully finished disconnect usb cable and flash one of doomlords kernels. I would first try the stock kernel he made. This kernel roots your phone at kernel level and brings xrec integrated in the kernel. When xperia logo appears spam the back button to enter recovery and flash the wifi modules for the kernel and then reboot and let the phone booting up into os.

Hope it isn't too confusing what I'm writing here :/ :)

Will there be a easy flash tool created
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
IMO reflashing to 2.1 and root then use the tool is the easiest way.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] hoskopico:
Ok just trying to make sure i got this right. I dont need to have my simunlocked to unlock the bootloader? also once bootloader is unlocked there is no going back to locked bootloader?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
nah explanations fine although the first bit goes fine with the 2.1 firmware and unlocking, the 2nd bit of using flashtool and upgrading to .71 baseband is where the problem starts. it installed fine but left me in a bootloop? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
yep, your right.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
If you have gone the 2.1 route, then don't just flash back the .71 baseband. Flash the 2.3.3 firmware, reboot then flash either the stock patched kernel or the custom kernel both made by DooMLord.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
i kinda just saw it now that it was firmware not baseband he said. my bad there.. hopefully this works for me now! fingers crossed!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] robertberma:
I have done it.

Just flash 2.1 filmware with flashtool. Turn on debugging. Root it and run qsd8250_semc.cmd file. Make sure you close flashtool. After running, your phone turns off, wait and it will go on, press key again and wait again. your semc tool says succesfull ect and your done.

If you want to go back to you gingerbread rom. Install with flashtool Z xrecovery and wipe everything. also format system, data, cache. Do a full restore of your rom. ( offcourse make backup of your rom before doing this)

After reboot take of battery and back and flash latest kernel and baseband.

Done

after that when I checked in S1Tool it says I'm on 2.1.. Im getting confused.:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pietropizzi:
@greg

at first strtup I also got SE logo, I then flashed Doom's stock kernel ftf and got the XPERIA logo. so sucess means SUCESS :)

@all (peedee)

The process after kernel downgrade is a very straightforward, unpaused one :)

the usb out --> power till vibrate --> usb in --> CMD start shouldnt take too long or the unlock-cmd won't recognize the X10 via adb

I had to try it twice from downgrading kernel again, then it worked
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] robertberma:
I tied that method and same problem for me. Phone will not connect with usb.

The only way that work for me is to flash 2.1 and root it.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Mobzter:
i decided to follow your way as i was having no luck with the rest. i rooted it got xrecovery on it aswel but then what exactly did u do.. hope you can provide much detail as possible. cause ive been on this soo long that i decided just to flash my rom back.. can still see sony at beginning so take it my bootloaders locked again?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
ohhh gys,

If you would EXACTLY make the steps I wrote, it should work.

I said, that you have to close flashtool, but not before flashtool recognizes the phone in any way, cause that means that adb is running then. If you try the batch file before flashtool is seeing the phone, the batchfile can't be succesfull, cause adb isn't running yet. So before you hit any button in the cmd file that the unlocking is starting, make sure flashtool has seen that there is a android phone connected, instead the unlocking can't succesfull^^

Houston we have a problem...

Howdy all,

Today my wife's phone has started displaying no signal and asking for the SIM card to be inserted (when it already is inserted). It also shows Baseband Unknown under the About Phone menu.

I've spent all day on the laptop so far, trawling through thread after thread about this problem and trying to fix this.

I know that you can cause this problem if you unlock the bootloader using the wrong cmd file or if the phone has been SIM unlocked via a third party company.

The thing is, her phone is an Orange UK phone and has never been SIM unlocked at all.

I unlocked the bootloader approx 4 weeks ago using qsd8250_semc.cmd - this was successful and we have been able to use custom kernels with no problems since then.

Her latest ROM/Kernel combination (Miui 1.12.2 (Cobrato) + Doom Kernel v06-1113 Cob06c) has been in use for approx 5 days with no issues then today, randomly the phone seems to be acting as though it cannot read her SIM.

I've re-locked the bootloader,

Downgraded to 2.1,

Used SE PC companion to update to 2.3,

Flashed various custom ROMs and ensure the correct baseband was also flashed in flashtool,

Unlocked bootloader again using qsd8250_setool2.cmd then re-locked it

All of which were suggested in various threads about this.

I swapped my SIM with her and my SIM had no service in her X10 as well (expected) but strangely her SIM in my phone still had no service.

The phone must be capable of finding service, because each time I downgrade to 2.1, or update to 2.3, the phone still asks for the SIM to be inserted, but then it will find service, however as soon as the phone is rebooted in any way, it cannot find service anymore.

All the threads I've found about this suggest that this only happens if your phone is SIM unlocked and you use the wrong file to unlock the bootloader, and then the problem is apparent immediately.

We have never SIM unlocked the phone, we used the correct file and the problem has only just started approx 4 weeks later -

This must be resolvable!!!!

Please please please, does anyone have any further help for me?

I'm at my wits end now.

Many thanks,

wildcardspv.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
- Okay, unlock your bl with the semc file if you haven't used that one as last.

- flash 2.1.71 baseband from bb collection

- flash the dkmod v3 for oodie miui prime

- flash oodie miui prime (if you use ota version or pc version is wayne)

- tell me if it works or not and if not, tell me whats standing in about phone. Best would be a screenshot.

Hey,

Thanks for the advice - I'll try now.

Just to clarify, what do you mean by what's standing in about the phone?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
everything what is written in settings/about phone

kernel version, build number, ...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wildcardspv:
Ok,

Last question for now -

I got dkmod v3 for oodie miui prime but its a zip file and there is no ftf inside, just kernel.sin, loader.sin and a folder called META-INF - do I flash the zip in xrecovery or do Flash these extracted files using flashtool?

If so, how do I flash them? (only ever used ftf files - sorry!)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Hehe, some downloadmanagers do rename ftf to zip, cause they see, it's a zip coded file. Just rename the zip to ftf and flash it through flashtool as normal.

Lol,

I figured that would be the case!

Managed to do the first 3 steps, but after flashing 'dkmod v3 for oodie miui prime' I get the Oodie splash screen for a few seconds, then WLOD, so can't even get to recovery!!!

I've just flashed Doom Kernel v06-1113 Cob06c instead, then got to recovery and flashed Cobrato's MIUI (1.11.11) instead.

First boot found service after about 30-60 seconds, which is slower than it used to be but at least it found it.

Baseband version was recognised under About Phone at this point.

Just shut phone down, left for a minute and started up - found service straight away.....

Just rebooted from the notification bar - On startup, no service is found and baseband is unknown again now :(

I've attached a screenshot....

Any more suggestions?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Try it again withthe newest miui. It should work with this kernel too. Do everything as I said before, only use the cob kernel you said above.

Just called Orange and arranged for a replacement to be sent tomorrow - better get it back to stok now!!

So a question, I bought a friends X10 recently and since I didnt have the same operator I used fastGSM.com to unlock the phone, this caused the radio signal to stopped working. So after alot of searching and reading I finally realized that it's because my friend had previously unlocked the bootloader.

So is there anyway for me to fix this now? I read that it could be fixed by unlocking again but with setool2, how would I go about doing that?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Download the latest flashtool and reflash the firmware, you don't need kernel downgrade again, the unlock function is built into the latest flashtool and works as long as you are in any stock firmware and the corresponding stock kernel.

For rooting use the zergRush exploit which is again included in the latest flashtool.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Dutch-Android:
I think I screwed it up somehow. phone won't boot after kernel downgrade. Stuck with the Sony Ericsson logo.

I am on Wolfbreak V7B6 freekernel atm.

How can I restore everything or make the unlocking work?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
It is supposed to be stuck at se logo after downgrade, then, when you are on the se logo go on with the .bat file. After the bat file was successfull, pull out battery, flash kernel upgrade and boot or directly flash the custom kernel of your wish. It's all written in the first posts. So, please read clearly instead of directly asking ;)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Dutch-Android:
it worked. at first the unlocking didn't work because flashtool didn't close propper which I could't see. program said that I had to enable usb debugging but phone was stuck at the SE logo. that is why I asked ;)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Normally if you do it exactly like I described it, you shouldn't get any problems like this.

But you could try using flastool 5 or newer to unlock your bootloader. There it's only one click you have to do :D. But remember, it's only working on stock 2.3.3 rooted with stock gb kernel if you want to use flashtool.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] totalz:
I'm guessing it's the custom rom I'm using not compatible with your method. May be u can tell me which custom roms are surely working with your method, and I will give them a try. Will check out the one click with flashtool, interesting that there's no sticky for that. I'm using the latest flashtool Windows version, however, don't see a option for unlock BL. Anyway, still prefer your method at the moment.

Actually I tried about 5+ times this morning already.

I'm stuck at the unlocking process in step "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!!)". I even tried to run the script with flashtool running just to prove your point.

I followed your instructions step by step, anyway, I don't rush into things like this, cause I'm not ready to give up my x10.

the error lines are speaking books my friends! Have you extracted the zip with an antivirus in the background running?
