For Flashtool you need 2.3.3 and stock kernel. If you want to keep your current setup, you can try the method I described with the bat file. But if you want to go to another rom after unlocking, stock 2.3.3 and flashtool plugin is defenetly the easiest way you can choose.

Successfully unlocked it :D Thanks. Now to figure out how to work M&M's custom UI. Its abit confusing.
[Sony Cross-Device General] varsas:
Does anyone have a working link to generic 2.3.3? With the default 2.1 companion did not pick up an update so tried flashing the linked 2.1 generic before PC companion again and still no update.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

This was in reply to an x10a request but will this work with an x10i?

EDIT: So I tried it anyway and it worked! :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] agentJBM:
Thanks for the help.

So if I understand you and the flash tool said the bootloader unlock was successful, then it probably is unlocked??? The problem is trying to use the kernels provided with the flash tool with unlocked bootloader. Correct???

I will try ftf file method. However, I am still a bit confused. I originally tried to install kernel before trying to unlock bootloader, and it didn't work either. That's why I decided to unlock bootloader. Recovery didn't install either. I ended up installing xrecovery 0.3 instead since I had it on my sd card.

Edit, do you have to use a custom rom in order to use custom kernel? I want to try it out on stock for a while. Custom roms have been giving me too many problems.
[Sony Cross-Device General] 9Lukas5:
Look for Doomkernel. His kernel is working on stockrom and is a very powerful one.

Upgrading or full Download of Flashtool 0.8.0.0 help

Hi guys,

I have no FT 0.6.9.1 installed on my laptop. can i just download the FT 0.8.0.0 from the Flashtool homepage and install or i have to download Thr FT 0.6.9.1 first then FT 0.8.0.0. if the Answer is the latter one which i have to download and insatll FT 0.8.0.0 over 0.6.9.1. why the file is not made small as its only updating 0.6.9.1? both FT 0.6.9.1 and 0.8.0.0 is over 120MB. or maybe am not getting something or understanding

Please need help
[Sony Cross-Device General] laneyofdeath:
Just use 0.8.0.0 pal it will work fine. Think the reason they updated in this way is because there a quite a few additions between versions.

Am at my wits and patience's end, I need a superhero to get me out of this mess. This is what all i have tried:

2. prerooted_X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_fixed_rec.7z

3. Sony Ericsson X10i_2.1.A.435_GLOBAL-GGL GENERIC 1232-9897.ftf

4. In-numerous stock based ROMs (Locked Boot Loader)

5. 8 different usb Ports, On desktop and a PC, 64bit and 32 bit Win7

6. Switching off Anti-Virus.

7. Two different USB data cables.

8. Self physical assault/affliction.

9. Flashtool-0.7.1.0-windows and Flashtool v0.6.9.1

But what the big "F" I just can't unlock the boot loader. Oh and reading lots of threads, this seemed most close to my problem. The big "R" is still staring at me.

[Sony Cross-Device General] varsas:
I was just wondering if it'sa bad idea to follow through with boot loader unlocking in flash tool if the s1tool is unable to determine the certificate?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
FT, as s1tool, tries to determine the certificate. If it can't, it will not unlock the bootloader.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Yes it is. simlock.ta from ftf bundles will never be flashed if they are present in the bundle.
[Sony Cross-Device General] narflynn619:
present in the EXISTING bundle? where is that? sorry, noob here.. :D :p

and what does this file actually do? hold commands/instructions/whatever about a phone's carrier-lock settings? such that it is ignored if the phone is not carrier-locked? enlighten me! :D

i have been using a old ver 0.2.9.1 zip, been using it fine for ages now, but this one i dont have a clue how to use, i cant even get it to reconize my x8, dont no how to get into the driver files, whats the difference anyway, why is this flashtool better can i ask
[Sony Cross-Device General] laneyofdeath:
Its newer. :-) u can install the adb drivers from flashtool/drivers (there an. Exe file) not sure bout x8 but on x10 0.2.9.1 lackwd couple important features which were corrected in 0.3.0.0. Maybe the same for x8. Also if the older version is sufficient, why use newer one (why fix what isnt broken so to speak) :-)
[Sony Cross-Device General] faisalusuf:
Few words in anticipation

Thanks alot Androxyde the community is thankful for your marvellous tool which you have built for X10 users. This is indeed a remarkable piece of work which the community will always remember.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Androxyde:
Looks like the firmware you are trying to flash is not for your phone.
[Sony Cross-Device General] bombaybadboy:
i have flashed a fair few kernels and roms with my older ver, never had a single problem, never been able to use plugins for unlocking bootloader but i unlocked that months ago already so never needed to, the rest is fine so i think i will take your advice thanks and stick to one i have. i think its because windows 7 doesnt like to play nice with the new flashtool

When I tried to flash the kernel, I couldn't see the entire title/name of the kernel, the three doom kernel mentioned for X10i, don't show up the entire name, so it's now way to see that is it FS serires or non-fs series, since we can't expand the pop up.

Be kind on me ppl, bcoz im new to Sony, im using a Samsung and trying to do someting to my bro's phone. Seems there's hell of a work to do here, unlocking bootloaders etc. I have read and understood how to unlock bootloader, then the kernel, recovery and rom, but now where im struggling is getting flashtool running in my computer.

I agree with TigerStyleZ, why it "wait for reboot" and then nothing happens. And what you mean with "The phone is turned off before entering flashmode not on"??? Of course it's turned off, is there another way to put your phone in a flashmode...The question is why Flashtool give message for waiting to reboot, while phone stay in a flashmode. It's little bit confusing, not sure that everything went as it should with flashing.
