Flash the kernel from SE 2.3 FW. You will be able to get back to regular "Sony Ericsson" boot.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rtblittlebrown:
My thoughts exactly if your bootloader is relocked you shouldn't have any kernel besides se stock one
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Oodie:
Great work man!

Glad we got another Z ;) X10 is living again. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Blagus:
no, you can't boot with ANY custom kernel on locked bootloader.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] javedabbasi:
Is there any method which tell you exactly about bootloader either it's locked or unlocked? I am asking this question because I run @9Lucas5 method and than I restored Thejap Rom. After the restore, I got Xperia bootanimation (first) SE animation and finally Thejap boot animation. Yesterday, I install Thejap new version and now SE bootanimation is disappeared and I have Xperia and Thjap BA. Phone with excellent deep sleep (85%) and great battery life. (which is reported by many unlocked BL user very bad) Now if I want to go back by this method what will happended when I don't know my phone's BL is LOCKED or UNLOCKED.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
VERY SIMPLE WAY TO FIND IF U HAVE LOCKED/UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER

DOWNLOAD THE S1TOOL pc application from 1st post

do the following:

click on Identify

Connect device in FLASH MODE

check output

check the marked strings

if the strings begin with "r" (lower case) then bootloader is

UNLOCKED

if the strings begin with "R" (upper case) then bootloader is

LOCKED
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] senaia:
Curious... Are you the same the_laser that makes SEtool and LGtool? If so, you are certainly awesome

Edit.

Wow, my sig is waaaaaaaay out of date!

Also would the same rule apply when identifying in setool? r for unlocked, R for locked? Got an x10 that identifies loader as DEAD, just wondering if there's any hope for it or is that the funniest most accurate piece of code ever?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
Now that we can go back can someone lock their bootloader and post and video tutorial of how to unlock it.

I have been pestered with PM's to do this, and there are a lot of requests to do it as well.

I cant do it becuase my only video recorder is my phone and I am not very good at video editing etc...

I am sure that will go down nicely and help a lot of people out, and hopefully clear the threads up from "please can someone tell me how to...." posts.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Prodigy:
Yeah because for some people like me, bootloader unlock lost my wonderful three day battery life, :D

Thanks laser!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] javedabbasi:
Thanks DoomLord for the procedure. However, I found interesting results.

Running SI_EROM VER: r8A033

LOADER VER: R4A024

and finally

MODEL (from GDFS): SO-OIC (Instead of X10i

Any thoughts. I might got semi unlocked boatloader.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Frosty666:
That's because your bootloader is unlocked but you're still using the SE kernel.

If you are using the Japanese x10, that would explain the model number.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] javedabbasi:
You may be right. I am not tech person. But my About Phone kernel read as 2.6.29.6-Th_mod FreeXperia+tatsuo@026)). And in CPU Spy max is 1113 MHz.

If I flash DooMLord unlocked version what will happened?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Frosty666:
I think that kernel (Th_mod) uses the bypass method, which is fine. It doesn't touch the SE kernel, but simply takes over it.

If you flash dooms kernel, it completely replaces the SE kernel. That means faster booting and more stability + features.

Thank you for this, good to know we can lock again just in case...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] scattaman:
The reasons are so obvious that its amazing you cant see it!!

Reason 1: Someone messed up and unlocked bootloader only to see that they have no signal

Reason 2: Have to send in phone for repair and don't want to have warranty voided.

Reason 3: CHOICE...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] G-FACE:
Guys, how to use the Flash function on S1tool? When I press Flash it says to choose filse with Crtl, but I have no list of files. Where I have to put the ftf files so that I can see them in S1tool? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rapatu2010:
I don't think you need to use flashtool for it. I believe you just extract(unzip) the files to a directory (you will see the setool.exe file in that directory). Run(double click) on the exe file and you will see the request to connect your phone while holding the back key. You get a drop down choice to select your phone. Hope this helps
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Dark Nightmare:
So this should be able to restore the bootloader for all of those that unlocked or attempted to actually and lost radio signal on their device, am I right?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sahibunlimited:
Some have reported YES!!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Dark Nightmare:
I would test it just to confirm and help some, but I don't wanna risk my only phone, lol.

I think those that confirmed had the SEMC CERTIFICATE RECOGNIZED identity, so I'll link this to others and see.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] :
bootloader restore will never help phone to get signal, if phone was unlocked by any 3rd-party tool,which using non-official ways.

Read it like that:

if your phone have NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE and you used xxxxxxx_setool2.cmd or xxxxxxx_semc.cmd - you should unlock your phone using setool2 software or wait until author of tool you used implement semcboot unlock.

if your phone have SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE and you used xxxxxxx_setool2.cmd, just run xxxxxxx_semc.cmd one

to flash phone with s1tool you should select usual *.SIN_FILE_SET files (original decrypted semc files ) or .zip file with *.sin files inside - that is called here *.FTF packages
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Asadroid:
ok laser let me check if i get it i have the SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, then AND my phone IS unlocked (it was an AT&T phone and i unlocked it using a software method).

then what should i do? i should use the SEMC.cmd? or the SETOOL2.cmd one? (or both in my case, first setool2 then semc)

note: i restored my phone, and wala! i got my signal back, so there may be a hint there

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

dude, if you spoiled your phone, and u send it for repair with the unlocked bootloader, SAY BYE BYE TO YOUR SAVINGS. you better re-lock the bootloader and make it seem as if it was running on locked bootloader all along.

if he clicks in s1tool on restore, then the bl is locked again.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Jinx13:
But he said in PC companion
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
no, he said he clicked restore and THEN he repaired through pcc. Means he relocked his bl and then used pcc.

Someone can explain the process, I need some other FW or kernels

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] laneyofdeath:
Is this the same as the s1 boot version when u go on *#*#SERVICE#*#*? Does the R/r at beginning mean bl is locked/unlocked also?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] x016x:
I'm a little unclear on the directions here, probably because there aren't any on this thread. What exactly should I do in order to restore the original bootloader? I have the s1tool.7z downloaded and when I open it and try to find my x10, it says that my "SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" wasn't recognized. What should I do now? There's no option for me saying to restore the thing, how do I go about doing this so that I can regain my T-Mobile service.

---------- Post added at 06:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 AM ----------

Disregard my last post, I downloaded the S1tool in the original thread and restored it. Sadly, my service still hasn't returned. I'm going to try to repair it now through PC Companion. I hope this works.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pheel:
question: how to flash using this?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] x016x:
Crisis averted. I'm not messing with this again. I should've read more thoroughly about the SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE. Mine wasn't able to be recognized but I still went ahead with the process anyway. I got my radio service back though luckily by reunlocking my phone using Multi Unlock Client. Apparently, you could unlock the same phone as many times as you want and in order to regain my radio service back, I had to reunlock the phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] paffeu:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
This happends to me sometimes. To be honest I can never fix it unless i flash back to stock. Clearing caches, reseting phone never helped and reflashing a rom with cwm didn't help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bird333:
This is set already. I don't know what has caused this.

[G1 General] yonu:
I have a odd backlight issue going on with my G1 i took some pic and now the backlight won't come on no matter what setting I choose, if i slide open the screen and tap the backlight setting it comes on but it won't with the screen closed any thoughts? oh and when i open the screen I have to change the backlight setting in order for it come on
[G1 General] yonu:
Question and hopefully someone has an idea could this be hardware and here is why I ask if I turn off the phone the backlight doesn't comeon at boot if i open the screen and boot the phone it does.

I am stuck and hate to set and dismantle the phone for no reason
[G1 General] ldrifta:
did you drop it? a lot? lol not sure why that would happen unless the rom has a bug in it... what rom are you flashing? or is it stock tmobile firmware?
[G1 General] yonu:
to be honest I don't remeber which rom I flashed it about a yr ago it has been working fine since I decided to dismantle the phone to check the ribbon cables as I noticed if i open the screen just a bit the screen works. however they were fine does anyone know how the screen switch on the G1 works i was thinking maybe it may be the problem as while i had it open I put power to it and played with the ribbon cable and it had no effect but moving the screen did.

Thanks,

yonu

P.S. sorry for long post
[G1 General] ldrifta:
hmm. maybe a wire or sensor got unplugged or moved when you dismantled it... with out seeing it i cant really think of what could be the issue... i kno you tube has 100's of videos on taking apart the g1 lol maybe see if you skipped a step...?
[G1 General] yonu:
Nope didn't skip a step I simply was hoping tat someone knew how the screen switch worked so I could try bypassing it as I think it is my problem
[Motorola Photon 4G] JCAndroid87:

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] ghosty_uk:
i got a viewpad 7 today, currently using a 4gb sd card (ordered a 16gb class 10), that is not my problem..

i managed to root and CM it, but every rom i try, the touchscreen does not work, so im guessing i have ITE whatever that is (can someone explain this), this is what the vol down power menu thing says:

SWVer = 3.420

Model = fm6 - 0001

HWVer = 106

basically all i would like to do is over clock it and run flash, oh mabey run app/data to sd. i have flashed several phones, and this VP, so im not a total noob well to the VP i am.

edit:

what hardware versions have ITE, as i just read on here that HWVer = 106 is not ITE, so if thats the case why can i not use the custom roms (my screen wont respond), if that is the case it would seem hwver=106 is ITE, can we try and get a list of what version are and are not ITE.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
I just posted a short quide/tip sheet, please see the link below

http://xdaforums.com/show...4#post17600914

There are no working custom ROM that support both OC and ITE (behind the scene "development" in progress, I know ....) and running flash 10.x is a challenge due to CPU limits, etc. but there are partial working patches out there, designed for other Android smartphone(s) so hopefully .... And, I got app2sd working on mine, just download direct from Market.

Hope this tiny bit of info helping a little ;)

Any ideas of what I can do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dullah:
well obvs it won't turn on without the battery lol. Good a spare battery? If the phone has been penetrated by any liquid.. give it a few days to dry off.. still it might be damaged.. best bet it to wait, or take it to a repair shop, see what they say if they open it.

[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Aw man, this is one risky business :)

For example the already known - removing HTC Sense will cause some weird behavior (for example Settings -> Personalization).

I will test this as soon as possible.
[HTC ChaCha] ABR2704:
Yeah but if HTC Sense is gone then GOLauncher won't require you to personalize because it will allow you to manually download themes and if you hold the home screen you can set a wallpaper.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
This looks tempting, does the search button work do you know?

Will probably try it later.

One drawback with changing Rom I find is link2SD needs re doing each time, I need to re partition the SD after each new Rom. Not sure that's normal. It's not a massive deal but is certainly affecting my down time.

Right now I'm using my legend as didn't have time to sort all the post new Rom admin I seem to keep doing!
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Suggestion: Put IM+ on it since from my point of view is light-weight and you can add multiple accounts (Yahoo, Skype, MSN, etc.). Since video calls are not supported Skype is just an instant messaging software. It's just my suggestion :)
[HTC ChaCha] myxcon:
I will try this rom today if I have time. I just hope it's stable with all the sense stuff taken out.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Ok, first major problem - cannot type number 0 in the PIN code screen :)

So basically my PIN starts with 0, therefore I cannot unlock it :(

Can anyone else using this ROM try inserting 0 in the PIN code screen?

Aye: I can confirm, 0/SYM key is not working :)

Let me see if I can fix it using a keyboard file.

@Tech - any ideas?

Suggestion - Uncheck fast boot from settings so in case something goes wrong we can boot to recovery :)

Suggestion - Remove "HTC Likes", FM Radio (does anyone actually listen to FM radio on an android smartphone?), News, News&Weather.

Hint: There are still some remnants of HTC Sense on yet though :)

All screens that have the blue bar on the right are from Sense (for example USB connection screen).
[HTC ChaCha] myxcon:
Same here. Cannot type 0 and have 0 in the pin code. Any fix?:)
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Unfortunately had to jump off into a meeting so I restored my previous backup. Didn't have any time to check for a fix. Try using a keyboard file (update.zip) from the Flashable keys thread and see if that works.
[HTC ChaCha] myxcon:
Did just that and was thinking of updating the post right before you did. If you take the keyboard files from the flashable keylayouts thread and replace them in the rom zip file it works. Apparently they are missing completly from the rom zip.

Gonna use the rom today and let you know what else i can find.

LE: The bootanimation and downanimation are currenty named hTC_bootanimation and hTC_downanimation and that's why they don't work. They need to be named

bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip

LE2: Apparently by using the keylayout from the keylayout thread, the english one, other keys get scrambled. Looking into it.
