Ikr :D

Wonder if Sony gonna sue him
[XPERIA X8 General] biggary:
Even though I get message SIMLOCK NOT RECOGNIZED in the s1tool

My Phone is 11 W 02

by unlocking the bootloader will it kill it?

in these forums it says it might hardbrick and the radio cease to work, but it also says that that its worked for some users

so what is it????
[XPERIA X8 General] 8cpaiw:
im not sure.....

my opinion:try

:o:o:o:o
[XPERIA X8 General] biggary:
****! well my phone starts up, shows bootloader unlocked, but.... no signal no apn settings.... help!
[XPERIA X8 General] 8cpaiw:
Ok

1.i dont understand you....

2.when you press power button does your phone vibrate or led light show up or something on screen???

or something else

either way describe what you see

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EDIT:

Now i understand.....well

1.reboot

if doesnt help

2.full wipe,dalvik chache,chache

if doesnt help

3.reinstall rom
[XPERIA X8 General] biggary:
It all loads up perfectly, and then when you in the menu, there is no APNs, you cant add a APN

in settings---->status

My phone number, network and mobile network type all say 'Unknown', service state 'Out of Service' Mobile network state 'Disconnected'

Basically the Radio option I think been disabled!

-Edit : It doesnt show no signal at all!!!!!
[XPERIA X8 General] 8cpaiw:
1.You unlocked your bootloader and that is a big yeeey....

try this...

1.reboot

if doesnt help

2.full wipe,dalvik chache,chache

if doesnt help

3.reinstall rom
[XPERIA X8 General] biggary:
none of those helped!!!
[XPERIA X8 General] 8cpaiw:
so you unlocked bootloader with s1tool....and no signal no nothing...hmmmmmm

when i unlocked mine i didn have that kind of problems.

Well you could try:

go back to stock rom and then reinstall kernel and rom......hope it helped
[XPERIA X8 General] biggary:
Done that, tried Sony PC program, flashed back to eclair, flashtool, back to eclair, stock kernal.....nothing!
[XPERIA X8 General] 8cpaiw:
i really dont know bro....maybe thas beacuse simlock not recognized ask someone who knows more about that.

open a new thread and ask cuz i really don't know(will do my best to help you)
[XPERIA X8 General] wilbso:
Then your only hope is to send it off to SE.

BTW My audrino came, so im gonna see if i can start messing with testpins and see if i can do anything code-wise that might stop this guys problems from happening

. Wish me luck ;)

EDIT: of course, I'll start tomorrow + I have a week off school, so I will try and figure something out . unfortunately I don't know if I will work as my X8 is in a perfectly good state. But I figured out just a little code I could maybe start doing.....

Lol, I am determined that there is a way to fix .probably won't be me.

I need a faster PC lol

As long as I don't get a PM :D

Click THANKS if I helped.

And if your generous donate to me please

Sent from my X8
[XPERIA X8 General] 8cpaiw:
As long as you don't get a PM ??????

what Pm has to do with his phone?
[XPERIA X8 General] biggary:
THANK GOD!!!

Went to see phone shop mate, who repaired the bootloader with some sort of leads....

now locked bootloader again, but phone functional :)

He would of properly unlocked/bootloader unlocked but he run out of credits to unlock via his se tool 2 box, so will do that in future

thanks for help anyway mate :)
[XPERIA X8 General] 8cpaiw:
I am really glad to help
[XPERIA X8 General] sebastianwfh:
can you describe how it is done?

my phone is experiencing the same problem like yours....

it just wont receive any signal at all

phone state got no network, no number detected but it still can detect your sim car ( i know cos it knows if you key in the wrong sim lock code)

please?
[XPERIA X8 General] biggary:
I dont know what program he used, some sort of box, similar to the SEtool box, took 15 minutes, first he put the phone back to original 2.1 eclair rom, then just used this tool to rewrite the bootloader, and got signal again
[XPERIA X8 General] c903jerk:
I won't do it.
[XPERIA X8 General] bore1989:
I think I hard bricked my x8 while I was unlocking the bootloader...my version is 11W41...is there a way to get it working?
[XPERIA X8 General] IHawkeyI:
it cant be repaired by your own. For the love of God.. use the search option or just browse the forums for such problems. There are so many topics and posts about this.
[XPERIA X8 General] :
If you hard bricked you phone, bring it to where you bought your phone. As long you got warranty, they wont charge you any money :D

[XPERIA X8 General] Kh-Angkor:
i am sorry if my question was ever ask before.... everyone said it so dangerous to unlock bootloader for 11w29+ on X8 .... how about W8 ? i am have W8 , it was root , flash custom rom . Now i'm interesting in unlock boothloader but when i saw the post Unlock bootloader for 11w29+ on X8 can be hardbrick ...so i am afraid what i want to do ....all is i want to know it is just for 11w29+ on X8 or included W8....sorry for my bad English .
[XPERIA X8 General] NIMBAH:
W8 is the same as X8 but with a different case and software. So no you cant unlock the bootloader for 11w29+ W8s.

For those that don't understand nothing about electronics, will this cable work with Omnius software in trying to revive a dead X8?

It's a Sony Ericsson Test Point Cable built by GPG Industries, according to the seller.
[XPERIA X8 General] xperiax8tester:
So this means that i can unlock my 11w41 only with USB cable(no test points and stuff)?

[XPERIA X8 General] ChWild:
Hi, I’m completely new with all this android stuff. I bought this E10i two days ago to learn something about Smartphone programming and all this things which are discussed in this forum…

But Now I found out that I can’t change the Kernel because under E10i at the backside are these Letters: “11W46”

So here my Questions:

1: Is there a hope to unlock bootloader for free in the future?

2: Can I use custom roms without unlock bootloader and without some bugs in the software?

3: How important is unlocking the bootloader if I want to program something on my mobilephone?

4: Should I give back this mobile phone and buy a better one? Maybe with unlock able bootloader?

Thank you realy much for answering
[XPERIA X8 General] Rderasta:
It would be nice if the main post gets updated - Edited - with the information these people got in this thread.. Please :)

To the guy above me: (mine is 11w49)

1: Maybe. Maybe we CAN unlock it, if I understood this thread that's it. Not saying it's safe tho.

2: Yes, you can flash custom roms that are compatible with stock kernel. (Or should I say roms "that don't require custom kernel")

3: As far as i know unlocking bootloader is necesary to install custom kernels, which I guess improve the performance of the custom roms. I'm not quite sure about what does a kernel do, feel free to google this.

4: Thats something you got to decide, personally, I can't unlock it, and it's not easy to me to change my phone just like your question makes it look like. It requires money :P

Anyways I love this phone, so..

You can still root and flash it, and its quite better than nothing ;)

Anyway, try plugging the phone to the charger for a few and cross your fingers.

[XPERIA X8 General] srsdani:
TestPoint when you tried, you had put the battery as the 2010 does not go only with the battery. When you came you tried that? s1tool show something(anything), or..quite simply do not show anything?
[XPERIA X8 General] fotak-x:
so 2010 phones must have battery in ???

i ll wire up battery with connectors and then try test points
[XPERIA X8 General] NIMBAH:
What are you trying to do with the test points?
[XPERIA X8 General] fotak-x:

[XPERIA X8 General] srsdani:
Following a thousand s*it, I realized that TestPoint is done with the phone battery(x8). I can not try, the phone is locket on Orange, and give me an message.

Yes but how , what software are you using?

Hey guys, just some basics questions from me, i have a 11w33 and im not interested it bricking it since repair support of this level is unheard of in south africa haha and yes as tempted as i am with everyone coming on here and going " i flash 11w33 no problem :laugh:" i just cant convince myself to take the leap but here are my questions.

Q1: does the model year on the battery remotely indicate which 11wXX is unique from the other in a 50/50 situation? Ps. my battery is like 11w19

Q2: when opened is there any physical way to identify the qualcom board that cannot be unlocked by normal software means? because i have no problem with opening mine up to check whether i can unlock it or not, id much rather do that than take a chance on bricking it lol

Any input is appreciated so thanks in advance and yes i wont forget to click thanks :good:

but my problem is the cable connection..im very puzzled how to do it..i even thought to buy qualcom gpg..but its to expensive for me...and the only way to do it is making a home made cable..unfortunately,i dont have any idea how to make it coz im not that good at electronics..if we can unlock bootloader using testpoint,it will be a breakthrough here on x8 thread..

YES its possible to unlock ANY bootloader.

I unlocked mine (11W41) and my friend unlocked his (12W05) WITHOUT test point.

We paid one guy about 14€ to do that.He has done everything over internet and the only thing we had to do is connect the phone on USB. :D

If u want i can post his mail address

With the software that you will find free here at XDA you will destroy your phone,if you willing to pay,that's another story...

Noo chances are you'll get hard brick. You can take the risk if you want but its up to you.

Also if you can't understand the guides that are already out there, then you shouldn't be playing with the bootloader in my opinion.

Getting a hard brick trying to unlock bl's of devices 11w29+ doensn't mean a 100% chance. Your friend is lucky. He's an exception. But i personally wouldn't recommend trying. On a side note, anyone tried the paid methods? Any feedback?

I know. What i meant was that i've seen guys here that unlocked their bl using unpaid methods (11w29+) that were successfull. Yeah, there is a HUGE risk, but still possible.

[XPERIA X8 General] krstep:
I'm sorry for off topic but I think 24 USD is too expensive for a bootloader unlock... In my country I can find an used X8 for about 50-60 USD...

I also think Sony should just let us unlock the bootloader manually, like all 2011 Xperia phones.
