Yea I figured it out last night. I now have true dual touch on my x8 on eclair 2.1. Thx for the help though.Now im jus waiting to be able to unlock my boot loader so i can flash a kernel.
[XPERIA X8 General] Lietotajs:
Why you stuck on Android 2.1? Without unlocking bootloader you can flash Android 2.3.7 on stock kernel!
[XPERIA X8 General] sidkota:
i had bricked my w8 11w41 around a month back and took it to service centre, the service guy tried the jumper method, connecting 1 wire to the edge of pcb and other to battery terminal and one more cable to motherboard, and plugged in rj45 lan port, but couldnt revive the phone bricked while trying to unlock bootloader! That was my experience!

Anyways, i got motherboard replaced with 11w25! Now bootloader finally unlocked!
[XPERIA X8 General] runforlife:
last month, I brick with 11w41 so possible I scare about it
[XPERIA X8 General] 8cpaiw:
Tomorrow I will take my phone to SE to repair it (tried to unlock the bootloader-> failed)

Keep your fingers crossed
[XPERIA X8 General] Sararo:
I think it's possible to unlock BL using flashtool, but you need drivers...i will search for you how to install drivers on x8 if you want :D :D
[XPERIA X8 General] :
I helped my frenz unlock his phone, 11w35 and success without error occur or hardbrick or softbrick.
[XPERIA X8 General] RomWiz:
Used Flashtool to unlock 11w35 :)
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
After all the time i spent researching how to unlock bootloaders for 11w26+ devices...i can say that the only way to unlock it is through the paid method in setool..

Ive lost hope..i guess for us who have 11w26+ manufacture dates, will just drool the sweet ICS..

Too bad we cant taste the icecream...

But im happy with the x8 community because there are a lot of improvements..

Its just that,when i see new roms with specific kernels,all i can do is to envy the roms..haha

It feels like,my x8 is not complete..

:)
[XPERIA X8 General] ikaybuang:
i feel your pain too man.
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
GOOD NEWS and BAD NEWS

guys, the laser has updated setool...here

so the good news is, unlocking the bootloader for x8s which has 11w26 manufacturing date is now possible, tried and tested....and for free!!

the bad news is, you need 20 credits to update smartcard for setool2..

so if you know someone who has just updated his/her smartcard for setool2..go and ask that person to unlock your bootloader..:)
[XPERIA X8 General] manishmalhotra:
is it for 11w26 only or 11w26+ ?? n who tried and tested it?? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
it's for 11w26+

yes alot of people tried it

most of them are from setool forum..
[XPERIA X8 General] JiaYong:
Are You sure we can unlock bootloader for 11w38 safely?
[XPERIA X8 General] mehrdadkhadem:
hi

my bootloader is 11w47 can in unlock ?
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
YES...can't you read the news?

here is the link>>>http://support.setool.net/showthread.php?3-UPDATES-AND-NEWS&p=81370#post81370

you just need 20 credits to update the smartcard of setool2..

if you know someone who has updated his/her setool smartcard, then you can unlock your phone for free..
[XPERIA X8 General] lokibg:
light at the end of the tunnel for my 11w48 :D
[XPERIA X8 General] NIMBAH:
Where does it actually say it unlocks 11W29+ phones?
[XPERIA X8 General] bxmx666:
phones with manufacture date 11w26+ has a fixed security hole and the_laser didn't say he fixed it

why doesn't the_laser post the unlock script here how can sm1 who can't get the setool unlock the bootloader
[XPERIA X8 General] refly:
up for this :D
[XPERIA X8 General] prot_x:
You can resurrect bricked X8 after trying to unlock 11w29+ and unlock the bootloader with Omnius. U need a USB to UART TTL module + Omnius credit.
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
Guys please...before you post something,make sure you know what you are asking...

And to answer your questions

Yes..the laser said that we can unlock the bootloader for x8 with 11w26+ manufacture date using altbypass method..it can be unlocked using the latest version of setool..you can do this by using credits..

But now,the new update says that the unlocking of bootloader,repairing of daamaged phones is free when you update your smartcard

The bad thing is,updating the smartcard needs 20 credits..

B.jay knows this..and im sure about this info..

You can ask the laser himself if you have doubts
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:


Because you need credits to do it..
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:


You can read setool forum and find it yourself..
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
I agree...you can also do it using setool2
[XPERIA X8 General] don juancho:
do you think it is advisable to unlock bootloader using omnius? mine is 11w29..
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
Well its your decision..i.would rather unlock my bootloader for free..:)
[XPERIA X8 General] velnens123:
My phone is 10W44 with 10W42 battery! :confused: Is it really old or what? I bought it in early 2011... And if u see it's 10W.. , not 11W.. ! Or maybe I see it on the wrong place? I found 10W44 under the battery and 10W42 on the battery... I need some answers, is my phone really old? And yes, it came with Android 1.6 Donut.
[XPERIA X8 General] 8cpaiw:
well if it's 10W44 it's safe to unlock it....

i unlocked mine with 11W19

my opinion:yes it's old...
[XPERIA X8 General] vic3roj:
How connect test point to x8 ?
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
you need to make a homemade wiring...or buy JPG cables..
[XPERIA X8 General] vic3roj:
I have cable, just do not know how to hook ...
[XPERIA X8 General] baiclark:
i posted the testpoint of x8 a few pages back...please scan it..
[XPERIA X8 General] velnens123:
I already unlocked mine without any problems a few months ago. I just want to know if my phone is really old or what?

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see that you said it's old :P
[XPERIA X8 General] dark_zhero:
News? Setool remains the only option?
[XPERIA X8 General] 8cpaiw:
well you have setool ,than you have flashtool/i unlocked my bootloader with that and that is the safest way) and you have SE tweaker tool

;)

press thanks if i helped
[XPERIA X8 General] Mojsa:
I have a question.If my x8 is bricked during unlock procedure(bootloader unlock),will repairing s1 boot make it alive again?
[XPERIA X8 General] stamatis:
No 99.99% it will be hard brick
[XPERIA X8 General] Mojsa:
So,the only option is jtag box?

it won't even work with uart connection?
[XPERIA X8 General] prot_x:
I have repaired and unlocked the bootloader on a hard bricked x8 11w44 with uart cables + Omnius software + credit.
[XPERIA X8 General] SalvadorO:
Thankyou man!.
[XPERIA X8 General] dark_zhero:
I dont you understand...

My Xperia X10 Mini Pro is 11W47, and bricked after unlock bootloader via SE Tweaker Tool.

And i send it my phone to repair shop.

But Flashtool Unlock My Bootloader? Or Not? or Only Via Setool?

Thanks for you Reply! :)

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

Sure? i have the omnius software but Unlock Bootloader function works in 11W26+ Phones?:confused:
[XPERIA X8 General] prot_x:
Yes I'm sure on X8 at least, but you have to do it with uart cables + test point.
[XPERIA X8 General] dark_zhero:
to repair Bootloader you use UART cables and Omnius...;)

But for Unlocking Bootloader need UART Cables? Or simple USB Cable?:confused:

I have no UART cables:o

sorry for my baaad english
[XPERIA X8 General] prot_x:
For phones with new bootrom you need to unlock bootloader by soldering uart and testpoint cables. For uart cable search on ebay for USB 2.0 to UART TTL, only 2-3 usd.
[XPERIA X8 General] dark_zhero:
Sorry for Off-topic:o

This work me?:confused:

http://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx...-20-a-uart-rs232-arduino-pic-atmel-atmega-_JM

Is, Usb 2.0 A Uart Rs232 - Arduino Pic Atmel Atmega:eek:
[XPERIA X8 General] :
The UART is NOT a RS232 connection.

It's a 1.5V TTL level serial connection.

If you lack knowledge about electronics and all the fancy words and abbreviations around it, it might be a whole lot safer for you to simply buy a genuine Qualcomm GPG cable as ANY experiment with unfit equipment will not only damage the phone but also your computer.
[XPERIA X8 General] tommutant:
Thanks for this great tutorial :)
[XPERIA X8 General] prot_x:
Yes, I think that should work, it uses the CP2102 USB to UART bridge IC.

But I'm not at all sure how it works and the naming/terms, all I can say is that a simular adapter worked for me, so do it at your own risk. Head over to gsmcure forums (Omnius official support), to ask or find info. There is also some threads about X8 bootloader.
[XPERIA X8 General] Mojsa:
Can you tell me which credit you used,and you fixed it with s1 boot repair or?

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] prot_x:
Omnius Android Single Unlock. No I used: Unlock network lock by certificate replacement via testpoint
[XPERIA X8 General] Mojsa:
And then unlock bootloader,and it worked?
[XPERIA X8 General] prot_x:
Yes. (the X8 was in a hard-bricked state after attempt to unlock bootloader)
[XPERIA X8 General] Mojsa:
Ok,thanks again.I hope I will fix my x8 too :)
[XPERIA X8 General] prot_x:
Just to clarify. The bootloader is unlocked after the "Unlock network lock by certificate replacement via testpoint", if you try the "unlock bootloader" option after this, it bricks your phone again.
[XPERIA X8 General] Mojsa:
Ahaa,thank you :) I would probably press unlock bootloader again :D

No you can't, when you brick it trying to unlock bootloader the only way to repair is to send it to Sony.
[XPERIA X8 General] norbasenkos:
I like to unblock the bootloader just read how to do it, there was then no warnings (at least in Polish), and it worked. Xperia bought in July 2011, so it might have been hardbrick. Recently I had to give up the guarantee X8, because something did not connect and it was not known whether or microUSB cable, so I locked bootloader and restored 2.1 and I just exchanged the cable. But as jusiałem second time to unlock the bootloader, I tried like 10 times, but finally succeeded and now I change ROMs and kernels at least once a day (sometimes as a rom I like it more when it is at max a week). Well, but, well, the xda ROMs are so many beautiful ... : D

tried to install cm9 on my atrix with cwm. wiped cache, dalvik cache, everything. idk how i could have gotten it wrong. then i tried to boot and it has the moto logo with "failed to boot starting rsd mode". but it never actually starts rsd. fastboot won't work either. tried pushing volume down+power and it shows moto logo, then flashes some white words on the screen. too fast to actually read them. then complete power off and won't power back on unless i do a battery pull. :confused: any help?

[HTC Wildfire S] KennyG9:
Hi there !

I would like to S-OFF or unlock bootloader of my Orange FR branded WFS. HTCdevs method does note seem to work, ROM or bootloader is too wreid and not supported by official orange hboot updater from htcdevs. After some tricks (goldcard I guess), I succeed in installing "Europe hboot" from htcdevs, but it doesn't help in any way : fastboot oem command returns an error 1, command error . Hboot might be too old to know these commands.

By searching on XDA, I found a tool called temproot that allows me to root the phone until I reboot it.

my HBoot version is 0.90.0000 and radio 7.53.39.03M.

MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL.

HTC drivers, andro SDK, Java, debuging mode,... are probably ok. I use Windows 7x64 and Linux Mint.

I think I said everything. If you want more details or explainations, I'll do my best to answer preciselly, even if I'm a noob :) .

Thanks !

KennyG9
[HTC Wildfire S] the Doctor:
The unlockable European HBOOT is version 1.08.0099, so I take this to mean that you successfully updated to a generic EU HBOOT (0.90.0000) which is not unlockable, but can be updated to 1.08.0099. Thus,

So you need to go back to htcdev and update your HBOOT to the unlockable one. When you do, HBOOT will show:

*** LOCKED (OOW) ***

H-BOOT-1.08.0099
[HTC Wildfire S] KennyG9:
Thanks for (very) fast answer and making me realize that I successfuly downgraded my HBoot (that's what I was searching to do).

I believed that it should allow me to upgrade with unlockable HBoot too, but I forgot to say that when I try to update HBOOT the way htcdev tells using their HTC_EU-1.09.0099 / ORANGE_FR-1.09.0099 / Any 1.08.0099 HBoot, I get an error 191, my ROM is NOT up to date. I have no ROM update possible with my f****** provider custom ROM. Is it possible to change this ROM to the official HTC ROM (using my temp rooting and adb shell or I don't know what), so that I can get last updates, flash HBoot with HTC_EU-1.09.0099 and get custom ROM (such as CM7.2) ?

Or I am thinking wrong on the way it works (probably the case : I learned everything alone) ?

Edit : I believe that this would have worked, if the given link weren't dead.......... Uploading website are all closed. That's a shame.

Thank you,

KennyG9
[HTC Wildfire S] the Doctor:
Try this:

1. Run the RUU...exe for updating the HBOOT again but don't try to update. Instead, find the temporary folder it created to extract the files needed for the install. It will look something like C:\Users\[LoginName]\AppData\Local\Temp\{82B23FCD-D5D0-45CA-A3A2-5350D3926551}.

2. In one of the subfolders, find rom_02.zip from and copy it to another location on your hard drive. Rename it PG76IMG.zip. You can close the RUU wizard now.

3. Move PG76IMG.zip to the root folder of your Goldcard.

4. Boot the phone into HBOOT (turn it off, pull the battery for 5 sec. and replace it, hold down volume and press the power button). Once in HBOOT, the phone will find PG76IMG.zip and try to install it. Follow the directions on the screen.

5. Do a factory reset and reboot.
