Hi

today i sim-unlocked my Xperia X8 using Omnius, but now i want to unlock the bootloader to install a different kernel from the stock kernel.

Following the instructions below http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225, when i start the file msm7227_omniusSL.cmd i get this:

but than if i verify with s1tool, i get the message (RUNNING S1_EROM VER" R8A029 ") and so bootloader has not been unlocked.

Does anyone know a solution?

I used Omnius for SE v0.27

Thanks a lot :)

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n4s:
Same for me!

Any of you with original 2.1??? Maybe it only works on original 2.1, I remember that I had to change from rom to original 2.1 so I could unlock with Omnius.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmolu:
I tried with the original 2.1 and with other 2.2/2.3 but it's the same
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n4s:
Hi,

I have been making some experiences and I think that all of us want to unlock boot loader to be able to change kernel.

So it's true that using the omnius method it doesn't work but if we use semc method it works, but we loose radio.

So my idea was:

1- Unlock with SEMC method

2- Apply custom kernel

3- Unlock with Omnius method (this will relock bootloader but recover radio)

I have tried 1 and 3 and worked, I'm just affraid that also doing nº2 might bring some problems, what's your opinion?

Found my answer!-""If you relock your bootloader while using a custom kernel your phone will be bricked!""
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] massive911:
Somebody already unlocked bootloader anyone of you?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n4s:
I have searched I never found anyone that sim-unlocked with omnius and then unlocked bootloader
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unimatrix725:
I just found out this myself. After wasting $100 (Sale Price) for the omnius unlocker. They never stated anywhere that it would relock bootloader, nor did they mention it could be unlocked. After an inquiry, I was told that msm7227_OmniusSL.cmd should help me...? So I am off on another research adventure. Not to mention I cannot even get my phone to "register on the network". Anyone want a Omnius License with 11months and 2weeks with 4 x10 unlock credits? I take paypal! I just knew I should have ordered the sekey and waited a month for it to arrive from hong kong. I truly feel like I got the "Royal Shaft!".

Can anyone help?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurotany:
@unimatrix725 if you made a backup of your TA, then you could restore your TA as it was before you unlocked with omnius, so you can unlock your bootloader, the only downside is that your phone will be sim-locked once again, oh and watch out, because you can only restore TA with an active omnius account, i.e. have a 1 day/month/year account, so if you want to restore your TA you should do it before selling your credits:P

i hate that the only safe way to have both bootloader and sim unlocked is with setools, because the credits i dont mind, but the activation fee is too much price for unlocking one phone
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihsan123:
well,for our x8 device,we can actually unlock bootloader using flashtool(latest one)

here a complete tutorial with picture that i manage to safe as pdf file(for my future use) and i think it might help,but it actually from x10 forum,however i already test it myself,and work it for our x8,to unlock the bootloader,follow this step carefully

press thanks if i help :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurotany:
he he he, sorry i think i misspoke that, what i meant was have unlocked sim with setools and unlock bootloader with any other method, not necessary both with setools :P, if someone could fix the my7227bootwrite_omniusSL so everyone that unlocked their sim with omnius could unlock the bootloader would be great, but i haven't seen any dev interested in helping us ...:(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
OK EVERYONE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HERE IS HOW TO FIX IT!! After network unlocking your phone with Omnius and you then want to unlock the bootloader follow this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225. You will be using tool msm7227_setool2.cmd to unlock your bootloader. When you have unlock the bootloader install a custom kernel then install your custom rom I suggest GingerDx. (I am not going to get into how to flash a custom kernel or roms there is loads of threads to help you with that). You will notice the network does not work (no coverage). Download the stock kernel from the link above. Flash the stock kernel then use msm7227_OmniusSL.cmd to lock your bootloader. This may take a few times and a bit of patience before the bootloader locks. Now you will have coverage and be able to use any sim card in your phone. Custom kernels dont work after using omnius network unlock tool. It always ends up with no coverage. So just stay on stock kernel. If you need to update your rom you will have to go through the whole method again. I have attached the bootloader unlocking/relocking tools below

I HOPE THIS HELPED EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM IF YOU NEED ANY HELP PM AND I WILL HELP THE BEST I CAN

HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!!!!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skirhir:
I want to try this, but I've a dumb question... why do I need to install the custom kernel and then the stock one? .... why not just flash the rom alone?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecatae:
thank you, my u20i finally has signal
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafiXS:
I also have Unlocked with Omnius and for now, i always Flash Kernel's with Omnius self.

- Choose your Device

- Click Flash

- in "Customization File" looking for your .ftf file

- Enable unsigned Flashing

And lets start...

Ok so i can fully build cyanogenmod from their source with adding my device (u8160) to the lunch menu, but i want to make it so that it can be added to the AOSP lunch menu aswell, i have got both sources on my netbook, and would like to know how could i get it so that i can use the device files that i have for cyanogenmod in AOSP?

I can see that when i go into cyanogenmod lunch menu it comes up as:

My friends,

I have upgraded my phone to above upgrade but noticed very poor battery performance please what is the solution?
[Desire HD General] paul c:
Hi there,

You haven't given much detail on your upgrade :)

But assuming you flashed a ROM, did you also flash the recommended radio?

If you did do both, give it a couple of days to settle down (try to resist the temptation to fill the phone back up with apps), then compare again.
[Desire HD General] Alkali:
I did neither, just upgraded the stock rom the way i bought it. Software upgrade. thanks
[Desire HD General] zelendel:
What type of battery performance are you getting?
[Desire HD General] markslo112:
Check this. It helped me out alot. Improved my battery life alot.

Just go by instructions on how to flash the ROM properly (recommended). When you boot up the ROM for the first time just install "Current Widget" from market and "Battery Calibration". Plug the phone into the wall or computer and leave it to charge till 100%. Then just open the "Battery Calibration" app and calibrate the battery. Read more in the thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1226016
[Desire HD General] Alkali:
But i do not want to root my phone, i want it the way it is. I do not want to void the warranty.
[Desire HD General] Alkali:
Four hrs at most.
[Desire HD General] zelendel:
OK take a look at what your battery info says is killing your battery. There are alot of things that can effect the battery. When you did the update did you do a factory reset? What apps do you have running? Social networking Widgets updating?
[Desire HD General] olyloh6696:
this thread is stupid. you say you have crap battery, yet you fail to deliver any statitic, screenshots, usage etc.

4 hours what? standby? screen on time?
[Desire HD General] Alkali:
Dear 6696,

Pls go easy on me. Since the upgrade i did not do the reset for fear of loosing my settings and Apps. Simply said prior to the upgrade i spent 8 to 10 hrs with my phone doing everything and that includes listening to radio, surfing the net and making calls but after the upgrade it takes only four hrs doing same to finish the battery. Thanks.
[Desire HD General] Alkali:
And isn't there any App that can show what to stop killing the battery. I have stopped auto sync,display but still------
[Desire HD General] chris.daf:
Google Maps was a massive battery drain for me. Try using the Sense Task Manager to kill the app for the time being and see if that helps at all.

Also Twitter (the official app) seems to be using a lot of battery too.

[HTC Rezound] jawnah:
Email Grammar FTW?

I guess, to me, the fact that this email would come from a CEO that doesn't know that "allot" isn't a quantifier, but a verb and uses run-on sentences would be a giveaway that it was a fake. As we all know, the communications sent out by a CEO are usually never directly written by said CEO but rather the communications team at said company. A Communications Director would probably crap a brick if that email had been sent out under their care.
[HTC Rezound] Gall0wz:
You're absolutely correct.

Funny thing is, if he were to go and look at the history of my posts here and on rootzwiki he'd see I actually tried to get people to support his work and/or defended the idea of donating to the use of his forums and linking to work.

Then he goes and pulls a stunt like that and expects everyone to figure out that he's joking? I don't think so. He presented it as actual e-mails in a thread specifically about contacting verizon to pressure unlocking the bootloader. He should have known that someone would contact verizon in order to confirm the legitimacy of the e-mail... That kind of stuff will have consequences.

Anyway... I've said my piece. Think of this thread as my scam/fraud alert.

It will be basically a stripped down version of Teamhacksung but with all the fixes, patches, mods, hints and tips,... found in Pawitp's thread already integrated. The Essentials pack will be basically the

latest Gapps

with some stuff removed, some apps added, fixes, optimied & zipaligned,...

How do you guys like the ram management of ICS? Have you tried playing heavy games on it yet like shadowgun, sleepy jack, modern combat 3?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SamHaLeKe:
Voodoo Control is working perfectly fine, except for the color tuning.

I'm sure Pawip or another brave kernel developer will release something soon ;)

It could well be that the integrated APN list is not readed correctly in ICS. I will investigate this.

Please be aware that the task manager is completely renewed in ICS.

Just long-press the home button and swype the apps you want to remove ;)

TB is working fine for me but I'm sure updates to that app for ICS will follow soon also :)

No "major" probs, it's ready for everyday use as far as I'm concerned :D

Is it working for anyone else? Also, just a minor thing, in 'about phone' it still says Surface RC1.

Two questions:

Is there anyway to flash a CM kernel, without going to stock, directly from the download mode?

Is there a way to flash pawitp new kernel without the boot loops?
