unlock bootloader w8 11w34

can I unlock bootloader on e16i 11w34??
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
don't try. big chance of a hard brick.
[XPERIA X8 General] yogy96:
There is a guy over nternet who is doing it..any date...he uses testpoint and probably setool2 :)
[XPERIA X8 General] astig_king24:
how find him? and what is the process?.. met him and unlock the phone or only password that give it to you to unlock your phone?
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
You'll have to search for it yourself. I don't think xda encourages "advertising" other websites. :confused:
[XPERIA X8 General] NIMBAH:
Lol so what about when people post YouTube links ? :D
[XPERIA X8 General] NIMBAH:
Regardless, he was talking about websites in general. Anyways I've seen the guy telling people about his site on the other xperia forums so it should be fine to post the link.
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
You do have a point, and i admit the rule in about xda section is unclear (it says no advertising your own website, not others). In my defense i've seen threads like that in general and ot a couple of times.

I guess only a mod/admin can clear this up. Will continue searching though. :D

Search for Jinx13 on web or xperiaunlockservice or simmilar..yesterday i had confirmed that with setool is still possible to unlock bootloader even with fixed security hole and without testpoint he just connects by teamwiev and do it ..it's bout 15£

Alternative to 11W29+

Guys i came up with an idea

to change the kernel

by rewriting the kernel

every one knows that we can modify the codes using rom manager so we just have to copy and paste whats in nAa kernel methods and implementations to stock tweaks

hope this will work

DEV please consider

Can you exactly tell in details everything you did to unlock your device? thanks! i have 11W35,
[XPERIA X8 General] astig_king24:
no option to unlock BL without cost?

For 11w29+, unfortunately, no. Although you can try using the methods here. BUT the chances of a hard brick is too great to risk it imo.

So, 11w29+ models have chances of hardbricking them when unlocking bootloader, but if i brick one, I can't repair it under warranty? Correct me if i'm wrong.
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
i'm not sure i understand. but if you hard brick your phone and you still have warranty, i've read some members here have sent their phones to se and got their devices repaired free of charge.
[XPERIA X8 General] Remorcer:
Yeah, but if sony finds out your phone is rooted, cuz you need to root it to unlock bl, i think they won repair it.
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
never tried it. but based on what i've read from some guys here who've hard bricked their phones, it SEEMS like sony doesn't (or can't?) check it. hopefully someone confirms this for those that have hard bricked their devices.
[XPERIA X8 General] alinuredini:
I tried it guys. I had a brand-new x8 and i tried unlocking the bootloader(11W48), and I got a hard-brick. No led light when charging, no vibration, no turning on, the phone was literally dead. I just went to the provider i bought the phone from, and told them that the phone won't turn on, and they repaired it.. You can try your luck with unlocking the bootloader, trust me ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] cLinXperia:

Kazu da moze samo treba sacekati da vidimo kako
[XPERIA X8 General] :
Well, we already knew that it's possible to bypass the security fixed MSM7227 by the testpins we try to work out...

I would be surprised if they have a software solution, because the_laser's setool2 is only capable of doing said job through the testpins connection (which is clearly a combo of software and hardware-mod).

However, I'll curiously wait what you can tell...

On a related note: I'll keep on investigating the testpins connection just to see if we can crack down on how get into a UART connection and what we can possibly get from there (though that means I have to disassmble my X8 to get to the pins) - maybe that opens a way for homebrew hard brick resurrection.
[XPERIA X8 General] wilbso:
As some of you may know, lots of threads about this have been posted, now it seems that the latest lession is bootloader (yes,mine is unlocked and I use alfs, but I did it long time ago, my phone is a 10w34 )

But recently news has been spread that the.newer (11w35+ ? ) phones have a what you might call, a Sony Ericsson gift, also known as a security hole. This means that there has been some fishy business lately. This security hole has stopped people from unlocking their bootloaders. If they did attempt it, it would more or less get a hard brick (if failed) so that is why many threads have been posted trying to discourage people from doing this. Not being aimed at anyone!

If anything, people with at least 11w36+ stay away from your bootloader dream unless someone manages to build a patch/fix dont this (which we all know isnt going to happen)

Hope this helped.

-wilbso

EDIT: good idea b.jay. Lets see if we can complete these testpins. Maybe so in the future we can bypass bootloaders with 11w33 and on without hardbrick (unless of course your anti virus screws it up and you get a hard brick from that lol)
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
Dude,are you pointing it to me?coz i think im actually trying to help..im not encouraging bootloader unlock with the SAME method,but with a new method which is through testpoints..the laser said that it is possible,that is why i presented it..read the previous posts and you will see that b.jay and i are actually working on it..

Kind regards,

Baiclark
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
Anyway..

@bjay: do you have to disassemble the phone?i think you just have to remove the white sticker under the battery (the sticker where the manufacture date,imei,etc are written)..

Kind regards,

Baiclark
[XPERIA X8 General] wilbso:
Nono. Im not pointing it put at you. You completely missunderstood . Your doing a good thing man :-)

In just telling then some info I have collected from over loads of threadd
[XPERIA X8 General] wilbso:
There, I edited my original post. It is not aimed at you, it is aimed at the other people who think that they might manage to get away with it using the original method. I think your method is good but my phone is A 10w34. IT WAS AIMED AT NO ONE
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
@wilsbo: it's ok dude, im not offended.. i thought it was me..hehehe..:)

@luacstan: yeah i see, but i have questions,

is it based on the setool by the laser?if not, then can we say that hard bricking is software related?

can you tell me if hard brick is evident in using this tool for phones 11w29+?

coz i really believe that unocking bootloader using setool for all x8 is 90% possible, even if you're phone's manufacture date is 11w50 provided you have the CREDITS..and it's quite expensive..:D
[XPERIA X8 General] wilbso:
Thanks for understanding buddy :-)

Like I said, it wasn't aimed at anybody

i just wanted to share some news that i have collected from multiple threads, but it looks like this method works good. excellent work though :)
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
Now im collecting as much information i need to test this..if it works,im sure it will be a big BOOM to the x8 family..and alot of x8 users will be happy especially to those with 11w30+ manufacture date,like me.haha
[XPERIA X8 General] neogen17:
da Tool didnt work fr me :( sad it got bricked :| mine w8 11w40
[XPERIA X8 General] :
Yeah, for a start I settled with removing the sticker.

However, since I didn't get very far with my electronics equipment I now ordered an Arduino to have a programmable device for trying to talk to the UART.

Never heard of that tool ever before, but upon a quick glance that's nothing else than the "msm7227*.cmd" put into a nicer UI.

Well, with setool2 (the one where you need to buy credits) it should actually be possible to unlock the boot loader of all 11W29+ phones... by using the testpins "alt bypass".

Errrr.... Huh?

We already know that every 11W29+ device can be unlocked by using setool2 ... so the "BOOM" is already there but is nothing more as a "POP" (sound of a bursting soap bubble) because setool2 requires you to shell out $$$$

Was too obvious that the funny "SE Tweaker" tool isn't able to bend laws of hardware.

You know, IF there would be a way to unlock 11W29+ in software (WITHOUT the need of a additional hardware tweak) you could be sure that word would have hit the streets already.

The guy doing that SE Tweaker tool is no hardware hacker or system hacker - that guy's just your average coder who took something and wrapped it up into a UI.
[XPERIA X8 General] neogen17:
Just took a chance Btw da SE ppl here r a dumb ppl , dey r going to replace my phone nw and i just mentioned dem to get old dated 1 so that dis problem wont occurs again ,dey nodded fr that :D God knows what edition wld dey bring again.
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
@b.jay: i mean the free version..and that is using the s1tool used for unlocking 2011 devices..and in using that tool,they have to ground the pins as well..the free version of the tool says it only supports certain devices and i dont know if x8 is included..

Please give me your inputs b.jay..:)
[XPERIA X8 General] :
You mean the version of SE Tool you can download from setool.net (most likely from some super-crappy RadidShare link)?

Well, the changelog of the latest v1.1203 reads:

- testpoint altbypass method will work now for msm7227-based phones,which using MCUs with fixed security bug.
that means, resurrection cables will work for MCUs with fixed security bug.

It may be up for discussion, but I take it as "setool can unlock the bootloader given you figured out the testpins connection".

What I'm actually interested in is this (same page, another changelog post) ...

7227,8250-based phones require special uart cables ( [COLOR="Red"][B]pinout included in docs[/B][/COLOR] ),
however it is highly recommended to use [URL="http://www.gpgindustries.com/news/2011/10/25/gpgindustries-proudly-present-qualcomm-resurrection-cables-featuring-setool-box/"]special GPG cables[/URL]

EDIT: Keep in mind that my idea isn't so much about the boot loader unlock but investigating if the UART would open a way for home-brew hard brick resurrection (you know, inexpensive repair where you won't need a JTAG box).

[XPERIA X8 General] :
Too bad.

Anyway, if you somehow do it and you get the info/picture about how the UART testpins cabling is being done please (with icing and cherry on top) post (or PM me, in case you don't want to make it public) that bit of intel - might save me some trouble in doing wild guesses on the pins.

At the moment I'm in no real hurry as the Arduino MEGA will not arrive until Wednesday/Thursday this coming week - though I already fetched the programmer manual and started to study about how to write a program for the Arduino (looks incredibly simple).
[XPERIA X8 General] vislavskid:

[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
these pins drive me crazy..haha..anyway i downloaded the s1tool found in this link

until now, i cant find the correct pin to ground..

EDIT: im just confused because for the 2011 devices, they only need to tap one testpin..but for x8, there is no clear testpin to tap to GND...instead, they placed the numbers 4,5,6,7,8..does this mean we have to tap those?hew

[XPERIA X8 General] Ronald Rosanes:
you can :D you're lucky coz you're manufacturing date is below 11W29 :D you can unlock it with the latest flashtool :highfive:

just double check if it is the manufacturing date of your phone and not the date written in the battery:D
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
flash back to stock rom before you unlock your bootloader.

Q about 11w48 unlock

cheers for motive - lucastan96

after reading this thread for a whole day, sorry if it is stupid .

last week i tried to unlock 11w48 using msm7227 left it with hard brick,not soft brick. the repair guy did jtag service within 15 min it was ok. (i didnt see what he did).

Today i opened my phone to check, there is soldered marks on it.on 6x6 row and one on the near side.

my phone is not sim lock ,can use any operator.

here is some i found about unlock with testpins:

but i think is this about sim unlock ?( i am getting confuse about bootlock and simlock.)

nckserver~net/help/SE/xperia.html

gsmcure~com/forum/showthread.php?t=2329

if there is any idea, i am willing to try( unless it is completely dead!!). coz jtag is cheap here.

its now like challenge to unlock bootloader.

tried gdx stock,kuyadroid stock,DarkShin-Engine,FroyoBread.v023b,FroyoProv25,X8Droid_v6.0.5-Smooth-Ass stock,shakira x9droid. Smooth-Ass is good for gaming.
[XPERIA X8 General] veneshx8:
Tested using GDx v013 to unlock -- result hardbricked. same like before.

my phone had - "not recognized simlock certificate."

following this post , we cant unlock 11w48. even if we install gdx v013

androidevil.blogspot~com/2011/12/guide-unlock-bootloader-xperia-x8-w8.html

all went ok , but didnt get output - error: protocol fault (no status)

phone did rebooted and showed home screen i left it and was opening a tool to check if it is unlock by then the phone is dead(about 5 min ).

need to ask the repair guy if he can do the unlock!

Till now i havent got my X8 ,back. it was second time i tried to unlock(2 method-unsuccessful) . the repair guy told me 'jtag method' is not working like last time(he unbrick my phone).

i dont know,if he telling truth or not.

if you want to try, do it. but before keep a backup phone, and a find a place for jtag service.

good luck.

for x8 he charged RM30. i asked twice if it is correct. and it took only 15min to do. it is in The Mines. in mobile section floor.shop name is ez-mobile(not sure). got a board CSI in chrome.

other place charges are lowyat - RM 80.

lowyat - RM 120

edit:Shop name is
