OK. In short:

1. I only one time tries to unlock which is around 4 days ago therefore I do not remember exactly but when I run the command four five line run in the screen (which was strange for me as I have seen some other peoples screen with too many lines in command screen). and I remember last line was something successfull.

2. Yes the first thing was Xperia logo and than SE and than Thejap logo.

That is the long story in short.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gogogu:
delete. found the lasers tool. cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Huh?????????

xperia-se-thejap???

or do you mean:

xperia bootLOGO-SE bootANIMATION-TheJapROM?

If you can see xperia logo as the first thing after power on phone, it means you have successfully unlocked bl and flashed one of the doomkernels
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Jeetdevgun:
wifi

cant anyone help me....

i ve done unlocking and tried miui and wb 5.0 but wifi doesnt work at all....it say error n doesnt turn on..

can anyone help.?

cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Maybe you should try to flash the right wifi module for the used kernel^^
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Jeetdevgun:
doom kernel

hey mate

I have used doom kernel n doom wifi module as well...

battery drain is phenomenal and wifi doesnt connect...

in a pickle right now i am

JD
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
and you haven't flashed the doomstockkernel and in your chargemon is another ck loaded with the bypass method??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ephumuris:
I just tried this and upon reconnecting the phone after vibrate it never gets recognized in flashtool again. All my drivers are fine as i've used flashtool before and no unknown devices in device manager.

Ideas?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
switch off any antiviurs/other software
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ephumuris:
Realised my problem. Trying to do it with a freshly flashed rom = USB Debugging off. Switched it on and all systems go. How embarrassed am i! :o
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] unimatrix725:
Yes there is that possibility. There are warnings in both threads I have read. But since you are asking the best bet is to go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1256430

Then use the tool, it seems failsafe, or safer than the manual method. It has a graphic gui for the scripts and or commands that make it more user friendly.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Butta Mylk:
Noob question alert!

I read a post on here (XDA, not this thread) somewhere that if you unlock bootloader, you cannot unlock sim later. Is this true?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Asadroid:
no. its not true

what is true is that you may lose your signal for 2 reason, 1 the weird (happened to me and i havent tried unlocking the BL again) you have the SEMC and you lose it.

2: you dont have the semc certificate and you flash the BL, then you have a new 200$ brick
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Ivanscremo:
Cool

:eek: im now running with unlock bootloader. thanks button pressed!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RaVe-N:
So what did you end up doing? I've lost signal after unlock. I had SEMC certificate and everything went smooth, but on reboot, no signal...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Asadroid:
i have no idea, the laser posted something about unlocking with the setool2.bat then use semc.bat, i havent tried that yet, but after reverting the unlock the phone is borking
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Requiem_:
Same happens to my phone after booting, no signal.

Any idea? could it be fixed later?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] arrowthefirst:
:confused: FT recognizes my x10 when i'm without kernrl downgrade

when I flash kernel downgrade, FT doesnt recognize my x10

what is wrong with me? can you help me please?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wesley.mrocha:
Help!!! PLEASE!!!

Hi guys.

Does anybody can help me??? please!!!

I'm trying to unlock my bootloader through this method, but I'm getting no locky.

I have done exactly as the steps on OP sad, but my phone when I try to run the qsd8250 file, seems to be that is not being recognized.

I receive the message:

Getting the Root Rights

Access denied

I have tried another methods, but no lucky too. Alwaays the same :(

Please somebody help me

Regards
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
It looks like you can't get root access.

Boot up your phone and connect it to pc. Try to get root rights with flashtool. If you can accept there the root rights make sure that remember is ticked and then click allow and try it again.

Regards,

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] wesley.mrocha:
Thanks 9Lukas5, but didnt work. :(

When I plug the phone on Flashtool, and asked for root, I get Access Alowed without need to set it again on Phone.

Any other idea???
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] NoCo33:
succesfull?

No more SE text when starting up, immediately the Xperia bootscreen. Doomkernel-v05 installed, wifi modules too and working.

May I assume the bootloader is now succesfully unlocked? :o

Just asking because I had some difficulties during the procedure so I had my doubts about succes.

Anyway, thanks for the clear instructions.

(on WB5, installed wifi-modules with xRecovery)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
yes, you hqve succesfully unlocked your bl. congrats

Regards,

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xhead:
I don't understand I followed the instructions, until I get to the press any button on the cmd batch file and it says Acess is Denied a million times, Root access is not available.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RAND0M1ZER:
I tried this but at step 9 I was unable to re-enter flash mode. Whenever I put in my battery now the phone automatically turns on.

Help pls!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
then take out the batt and wait 5min, and then reinsert the batt. If it isn't working make it that way: take out battery, click in flashtool the thing you want to flash and if flashtool says you to connect phone, insert batt and directly connect usb while holding back button (why? that there isn't much time between insert batt and connecting cable, so the phone hasn't any chance to miss the flashmode^^)

Regards,

L
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Asadroid:
sometimes i just connect everything, hold the back button and insert the battery aaand it works o_O
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] flumps:
sorry if this has been asked.

what if my phone has been unlocked via the carrier with a unlock code from SE?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tadhara:
OMG!!!

Thanks! Heart beat was there for me too cuz I got an error line (dont even know what it was about cuz it was so fast :D ) but it worked out well :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] bharadwaj1991:
Hey over at the X8 forums people have reported that the semc.bat file will work on bootloaders unlocked by third party software such as: Omnius, multi-unlock-client, etc. Also in the X10 forums a few users report the same. Does this mean that we can bootloader unlock our phones and KEEP our radio signal working. For those you have done this, I remember at least two, please come forward and report what happened.

As far as I can tell the only issue would be loss of sim unlock, maybe it goes back to being locked; however, this also seems to be untrue in the X8 forums.

Here is a link to the thread go down to part 2c and in HUGE RED letters you will see it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

EDIT: Also if we/I do this bootloader unlock and lose my radio signal, then relock my bootloader will I get radio signal back?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] tuxo87:
i've applied the SPL to boot custom kernels... could be this the reason why I can't unlock the bootloader? The script tells me that the mapper module can't be inserted and then "userdate not found" lol ?

the first part of the script is running flawlessly instead.

any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] RAND0M1ZER:
Thanks man, that worked!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iggy:
Same here, I think we both did the same mistake and ran the setool2.cmd when we should have ran the semc.cmd.

So just to confirm anyone ....this means we are stuck? No way to get the radio back even if we are load 2.1 or 2.3.3....anything?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Bugly Astard:
Im unlocked, thanks. I have another x10 that I had the sim unlocked by someone on ebay who sent me a code, is that x10 going to be unlocked the same way? I had no problems with this one, first try took a few minutes, but Im reading alot about sim unlocked phones needed a different procedure and/or not possible.

This was TOO easy, I should have done it earlier.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iggy:
For anyone who happened to use the wrong bootloader unlock version and is stuck without radio.

Flashing back to 2.1, rooting and redoing the unlock bootloader with the correct file gets you back up and running.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Z3US911:
i didn't get this point what files,there are no file.Can u brief more...??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iggy:
hi z3us911 it should have pointed to the first page - so go to page 1 and look for this line - here ( qsd8250.7z) is toolset to permanently "unlock" semcboot of qsd8250 semc phones ( x10a,x10i, so-o1b )

the link to the file qsd8250.7z is their.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony_C:
You can save a few steps by flashing dooms unlocked kernal instead flashing the upgrade kernal. I tried it and it works. Used dooms V05. Used xrecovery to load (flash) the wifi fix instead of rootexplorer.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pavanky:
Can you explain which steps can be ignored ? I am assuming we don't need to use downgrade + upgrade procedure ? It would be nice to have an updated procedure if you have the time :-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony_C:
Still need the downgrade, unless you are at 2.1

Replace

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

with

•power off phone and flash dooms ck v05-fs with flashtool

I did the wifi fix after this, via xrecovery

NET:

•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, do not press any key yet

•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!!)

• Now press "any key"

•power off phone and flash dooms ck v04-fs with flashtool

•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)

•now enter xrecovery and flash the wifi modules for dooms ck

•boot the phone again and if everything is right, read the line under that one
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Yeah, that's right, but the point why I advice to do this step, is to check if the rom boots up with the same kernel (so nothing changed except the bl unock). And then if you know this for sure you can flash a custom kernel
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mijnie:
After succesfully unlock the bootloader, I used xRecovery to wipe everything. When I tried to install any other rom via xRecovery it then says: this rom is Amend and that the rom needed to convert to Edify. I also tried the amend2edify tool without any succes. Please help.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
Flash a custom kernel through flashtool first, which would give you root and the correct xRecovery as well, then flash the rom.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
flash the latest available kernel from doom, including xrec and cwm.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mijnie:
Thankyou friends, for your help. My problem is partly solved by flashing x10_2.3.3_DooMKernel-v05-FS-FINAL.ftf instead of the other. For now I'm happy with this less advanced kernel :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony84:
Hi, after having unlocked the bootloader and installed the v5 kernel, all works except sending sms. I noticed now that the bb I have is the 67, not the 71. Is this the problem? Is it possible o jus flash the bb?

Also my phone now as no root.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] flechaig:
Yes, this is a BB issue. Flash .71 with Flashtool then kernel V5 again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tony84:
I flashed the x10 2.3.3 stock with xrec, then again the v5, but still have bb 67 and not sms and root working..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] flechaig:

Thanks now it works.

Edit: sms now works, but still don't have root.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Aren't you getting the access or is the superuser app not there??

If you only can't get the access, but the su app is present, make the following: Go to settings --> applications --> all applications --> superuser --> clear data. Then try again to get root access.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pato66:
I think you dont finally the process for unlock, you can repair with SEUS or reflash with flashtool and tried another time unlockbootloader.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Maverick_G:
That I will do. But where did I gone wrong?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pato66:
perhaps unplugged before the end of the process.

Do you downgrade the firmware and root in 2.1 firmware? only can unlockbootloader from 2.1 firmware, may already know.

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Maverick_G:
I downgraded the kernel. Thanks for your help. I updated my phone using SEUS. Will unlock bootloader later.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
the phone will reboot during the unlock process for one time by himself, please don't remove usb until in the cmd appears that the unlock was succesfull or not successfull
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Maverick_G:
It rebooted itself once. I waited in that stage for 30 mins and then I had to unplug it as it was not progressing.

I unplugged it just once as stated in Step 2 by you.

Tried again and it worked! Thanks!

It's not working for me. I used the kernel downgrade on my Wolf 2.3 and ran the tool after closing flashtool (followed all the instructions to the letter), and the batch just closes on me after the first reboot. I'm downgrading to 2.1, rooting it and seeing if it'll work then.

edit:downgraded to 2.1, ran the batch, same thing. It starts working, restarts the phone but then just randomly closes and the bootloader is still locked. The batch starts, says something about a protocol fault, runs and installs a few files then just closes itself :S. The SE logo is still there!

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] atikabubu:
kill this post, flashed 2.1 and it worked :P
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
This is just an alternative for those who wants to stay on their current rom and settings. If you choose to use the 2.1 method (which I did), then you have to flash everything again and do your settings again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] atikabubu:
Didn't work for me, thus i flashed 2.1 before i had a tantrum :F
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gogogu:
sorry, but in the instructions, it says to place the wifi modules? can anyone elaborate on that. place where? I don't want to start unless I know how to from the start. thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aR_ChRiS:
If you have unlocked your bootloader and would like to use the DooMKernel, then just go on that page and download the wifi modules which are flashable through xRecovery.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Tjotte:
In addition to above post, if you'r flashing FXP kernel you don't need to think about it ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
??? why not? Do you mean cause you normaly flashing the fxp rom then too and there the wifi modules are included or are the wifi modules included in the kernel itself?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gogogu:
so why does it say "place with root explorer"?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
cause the wifi modules for the first unlocked bl kernel weren't made in a zip for recovery. You had to place them manually. I only haven't corrected the op yet.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
really? i always posted update.zips ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] leechgod27:
One problem i faced after unlocking BL was:

i dont know if this is covered earlier in this forum

before unlocking i could easily swap between only2G and only 3g networks...after swapping the data(up/down arrows) symbol appeared in say 4-5 seconds.

But now after unlocking BL i can swap from 2G to 3G ,but swapping from 3G to 2G requires a "reboot".I get network in 3-4 seconds,then the "E"(data) symbol flashes for a fraction of second and dissappear...tried all things like turning off/on data,turning on/off airplane mode,deselecting/re-selecting the APN....etcbut only reboot sets it.

anyone with similar problem?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Andybrit:
I've tried to follow the guide to a T, but I am getting a unknown device, and performing the actions in post #3 did not resolve it:

The device is "SEMC HSUSB Device".

Anyone got any knowledge on this? I have just re flashed the upgrade for now, but I was cautious to run the batch script with still unknown devices.

Also why do I need to plug the usb in after the phone vibrates? Can i not just do it the same way I flashed the kernel upgrade?

[edit] Solved the problem. I used a different USB port on the pc! Now unlocked. Thanks for all the excellent work guys.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] timchew:
I have managed to get flashtool to recognise my driver using third post. But after trying to unlock bootloader (successfully as indicated by the message) twice, the sony ericsson logo is still there!! So did I unlock the bootloader? Help!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
ohhh guys, don't worry, be happy!! :p

The se logo only disappears, if you flash a custom kernel for unlocked bl, if you have the se kernel yet, it shows you the se logo :eek:

Everything clear now?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] omell:
@Lukas

Could you mention this please in the first post? I also was confused when I unlocked the bootloader...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Arnold.Alexius:
you need to update your driver. check 9lukas 3rd post which is mentioned this:

make sure you double check your window device manager to see the driver is already installed or not (when you plugged your phone with computer)

then you can proceed with other step. Good luck ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alamatnitotoy:
please someone reply .

the above result is from S1tool..

I dont see

so does that mean my phone is unlocked by SEtool?

so doomlord told me that i can unlocked mine's bootlaoder..

but what method im gonna use? the semc.bat or the setool.bat??

please i want to unlocked mine's bootlader but i dont wanna rush into things because from what i read earlier eh this can corrupt your network if youve made a mistake..right..so please some one enlighten me..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
u got the line semc simlock certificate (it's nearly at the end of the output). That means you can unlock bl with the semc.bat file.

simply logic:

semc simlock certificate: semc.bat

anything with setool in s1 output: use setool.bat

and only if s1 gives u the information that you should try unlocking with setool2, THEN you can't unlock it.

Regards,

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] alamatnitotoy:
thanks Lucas for that information..so does that mean my phone is never been locked to any network since it was bought? sorry for the Out of topic question..
