Hey everyone!
So I have xperia x10 that is a prototype, and i've been searching the whole web to find a solution on how to unlock this device but no luck so far.
The phone is fully functional, it even has an android 2.1 installed, except the sim service, when i insert a sim card it asks me for an unlock code.
This is what it says on the back of the phone under the battery:
Type: AAD-388056-BV CB5
Prototype not for sale MoP XXXX-XXXX.RR
Not type approved Prototype build: AP1
SI 1228-3677.1M 09W27
S/N: CB511DKG4C
00440107-827533-2
So i would really appreciate your help, is there any way to unlock this phone, maybe by flashing the device or just by entering some code?
I'm a total noob about this, thanx for any answers you might have.
How did u get a prototype?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Dont know the origin of the phone, i just bought it from a guy that got it from another guy so it has been passed around until nobody knew from where it was.
Hmmm maybe a dev phone.
Would be nice if it is.
Maybe u should ask zdzihu.
Send him a pm

Okay, thanx I'll ask him. Dont know if it's a dev phone but i am opened to any suggestions on what to do with it. I would really like to use it with a sim card, it's really a great device.
as a matter of fact, I did pm zdzihu few minutes ago and he said that this phone is no help for us
To bad

yeah too bad. well i'm still opened to any suggestions on how to unlock this device so if anybody has any kind of advice please let me know. I Am willing to pay for a solution of this problem!!
Try davinci team on the web but u need a pc.

or ask lancez, i think is his name he can get them for you there is a thread, on it just search for unlock sim x10a.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Hi,
the prototype should still have Android 1.6.
Please have a look at a similar request & solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881026
*EDIT*
Easiest would be rooting with z4root (runs on 1.6), install root explorer and change the CDF in the build.prop to 1235-7836 (custom DE/CH).
After that upgrade via SEUS / PC companion. That´s what I´ve done and can confirm was working for me.
Maybe you want to try out your preferred CDF, but please, in any case don´t blame us, if you brick your phone.

We can give it a shot with the CSCA activation dongle.
Contact me by PM.
ferraripassion is your only help (well, plus other people with high access + a CSCA dongle). XPERIA phones can only be unlocked using original SE tools, or by code. But remeber that when unlocking using dongle, the dongle leaves it's signature in the checksums hence software unlock is not public.
Well I have already contacted the davinci team, they said that they had success with retrieving codes for prototypes in the past, so I'm gonna try their method first and see if maybe just typing in the code is a solution. Thanx everyone for your help, im gonna post a result as soon as davinci team cracks the code.
Remember, you only get three tries .
my xperia 10 restarts again and again during the day for no reason i have recently updated my phone to android 2.1 and since then having this problem...when i update the phone through pc compinion or pc sony ericson udpate it gives error "unable to install or start software update components" plz help me out i love this phone
Might need a warranty repair. Mine did when my phone kept restarting. Think they replaced the motherboard.
Have u tried flashtool from the x10 development section yet? And flash the latest firmware and baseband. If u havent and want to try it, post again i will try to help
Try this first before warranty repair. It will save u money if this works

I'm having the same problem. I believe is something with the sd card. If I use the phone to dial or surf the web there's no problem, but if I start NDrive, or any game that's installed on the sd card, then the phone reboots
can u plz copy paste the specific link of installing flashtool and firmware.
and how to install them step by step thanx alot for your suggestions plz reply

I had the same problem. The only solution for me was a new mb. The service center comfirmed that some of their early mbs were overheating.

Hi Friends,
I wanted to revert to stock 2.2 but im not getting repair option in SEUS.
It says my phone is already updated but no repair option.
Pls help
You need to use flashtool to go back to stock firmware.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
how do i do it and from where do i get the firmware for india region?
plz help
If you look in the FlashTool thread, it'll show you links to the basic stock firmwares, both the Global Generic (which most people use), as well as a couple links to other branded ones.

You can always back to your stock ROM by updating phone via Sony Ericsson Update Service.
This may bring back your warranty, but i heard that it isn't for sure.

If SE can't figure out you've messed with their firmware then the warranty is still there.
thanks and what about unbricking? can it happen that my phone will be completely bricked, and theres no way to unbrick it? sorry for my bad english
when you brick phone just flash with Sony Ericsson PC Companion and you will get sock original rom
okeey thanks. can i root my phone? because i have a newer firmware.
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
I've seen here on xda, a report which says it is still possible. Try to use FlasherTool. It is the best and easiest for rooting and installing xRecovery, just 2 clicks. But I am not sure about the compability of the custom roms. They are made for the previous firmware. Maybe you'll be the first tester. ;-)

Your english isn't bad at all.
No, you don't need anything else. Just to be sure, check the requirements on the first post of the ROM you want to flash.

You may have to use the repair tool. I got stuck in the same boat as you. a lot of the 2.1 firmwares didn't work but somebody sent me the link to the 2.1 generic firmware so I flashed that.
My phone has been okay ever since
