Hi all, i have just recieved my x10i from Ebay, it was bought as locked from the desciption, but it turns out its not, its locked asking for a security question or account, both of which i dont know the answer.
Is there any way to get around this ?

There is nothing much you can do.. just repair it through seus or pc companion! Or via flashtool..!

No, updating has nothing to do with your SIM. But in case I'm wrong, the guys down in Peckham will do it for a tenner.

if you still need official flashing support use Sony Ericsson Update Service

Try to flash in flashmode with Flashtool utility. It should work! I revived an Xperia S once with about the same problem (it even didn't charge properly anymore).

Providing you flash the correct firmware for your region, they won't find out. What region are you from or is your phone a generic non-carrier branded phone

i would like to....but it will void my warranty......and if something happens to my phone i would not be able to send it back where i bought it.........but i will think about it.....
Thanks for the tip devilakos, I ran into the the exact same problem today with my girlfriends brand new phone! I thought i would have to take it back... thankfully SEUS flashed it just fine and it boots into ICS now.
Cheers
Hello everyone,
I intend to buy a branded sim locked Xperia Go. It looks like that will bring Android 4.0.3/4.0.4, and the official 4.1 is now rolling out.
Question is, will I have problems upgrading to 4.1? As fair as I understand, if the Carrier does not release the 4.1, I have to apply it manually - and to apply it manually, I have to unlock my bootloader (I suppose) - which from the Sony tutorial it looks pretty simple.
Problem is, since my phone will be sim locked, is this going to be a problem?

Now that this is cleared, can anyone please answer my question
Anyone?
After updating my xperia few months back, it lost both IMEI's and ability to see sim cards with that. Also the battery started to drain significantly faster.
Now I have unlocked bootloader and rooted it, hoping it would fix it, but it didn't help. ( I've used this guide for rooting https://www.droidwin.com/unlock-bootloader-and-root-sony-xperia-1-iv/) Xperia Companion did not work either, it would just give out an error everytime.
I would imagine getting to stock could solve this, but as I understood Sony don't want you to have a good life and there's no places to get old firmware for my model.
I'm really bad with all of this, so I would be really grateful for any help, to restore my phone from being a tablet.
Did you flashed another firmware? Like US firmware? Because if you did that doesn't work on ct72
Edit: Also companion won't work with unlock bootloader

what doesn't work on ct72?
Companion didn't work before I unlocked bootloader
also should I use newflasher to flash?
Update: tried flashing it with Newflasher and completely bricked it.
Sorry to hear the news. You should of contacted SONY for its warranty if the update was OTA. Unlocking the bootloader usually voids the warranty.

I did, but this model is not from region so they wouldn't help. I think there's still ways to fix it, but doubt I can do it alone without an extensive guide
Also does anyone know if there's ways to lock bootloader without access to fastboot?

If your bootloader isn't unlocked then companion should work have you try restoring with that?

Dang! I wonder if SONY will deny support for using an out of region device while working/living outside your native country or if they will say to contact the appropriate customer support link according to the device region.
Hope it can be fixed.
