The phone may be network locked, but you said it worked before, therefore, kindly tell how you go about flashing the firmwares and which firmware files you flashed to your device?
X10i_2.0.A.0.504_MSTAR-ES+GENERIC+1234-7515
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-AE+GENERIC+1238-8010
X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_CUST-MY+GENERIC+1237-0695
tis 3 .... i flash bak to 2.0 to unlock bootloader... but failed... so i flash bak... but everything cant use....
Turn your phone off, take the battery out and open up flash tool.
Choose flash and pick the firmware you want to flash to your phone, advisably a world generic version would be a good option.
Click ok to flash, plug the usb cable into your phone, when it says to connect device on flash tool, hold the back button and put the battery in, should go directly to flash mode, wait for it complete, once completed. Try turning it on again, but one quick question, did you try unlocking the bootloader?
ya... i am try to unlocking it... but failed try many time...

That sir may be your problem, which of the batch files did you use? the semc_qd8250 or setool_qd8250? Did you unlock your phone by chance? Because if you did with any other tool than the setool or you used the incorrect batch file, then you will lose radio signal as warned in the dev thread of unlocking the bootloader.

Did you have debug mode on before you tried to do it?
Use this tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=713763&d=1315496032
and tell me what it says at the end of the log. Whether it is "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE RECOGNIZED" or "SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE NOT RECOGNIZED".
Run the tool, click do job, put the phone into flash mode, choose x10 where is says S1 and click do job once more.

Heard this before somewhere, did you upgrade it from a lower firmware? Which firmware were you on and which did you flash specifically? Best option is to reflash a stock firmware via flashtool or do a repair via SEUS if you're still on your phone's original firmware version. See if that helps.
seus also cant =[
few questions about using the unlocker, whilst using the qsd8250 _semc and qsd8250_setool2,
does the phone have to be in flash mode or just connected to pc via usb with usb debugging enabled??
also im gettin adb server is out of date killing...
*daemon started successfully*
getting that every second line or so, is that normal, also it completes the process up until the part where it reboots the phone, then on the pc it saying getting root rights and nothing happens from there???
any help greatly appreciated
follow the unlock instructions fully, if it worked you should lose the "sony" test that happens just after you power on. If not, look for the BL tool in dev section, this will make life easier.
And close flashtool when you do.

Did you unlock your phone by chance? A in sim unlock to use it on another network? If you did, then you will lose radio signal if it wasn't done with SETOOL.

After unlocking, you need to flash DoomLord's special custom kernel or sony's very own via flashtool. Could be that or simply flash backs stock and retry unlocking. Possibly failed.
well ive managed to get radio working again, had to go bac to 2.1, then a custom 2.2 rom so i could crash system server, then unlock bootloader again, so all is working now, but now i cant root for some reason

Hi everyone, there are 4 days for unlock bootloader for free on Omnius.
There are a lot of ppl who have Bootloader Unlock allowed: NO! and as u know it can only be unlocked by pay method. Well you are lucky if you are seing this post because if you go to omnius page: http://www.omnius-server.com/ and register you can unlock for free your 2011 xperia phone. I already try this method on my brother's xperia mini pro (sk17) and it works without pay anything.
If you have some question be free to ask here, I will help you in your unlocker, its a little diffficult but can be done!.
Good luck!
Edit:
STEPS:
Open omnius, log into your account.
Select your device from list.
Press unlock -> Bootloader
It will show you an image where your testpoint is located.
- Next steps are for mini pro -
Cancel the process. Now turn off your xperia mini pro. Remove your batter
Localizate the testpoint and put there your tool (It can be a paper clip with cable).
Put the clip on your test point and the cable to the ground (omnius will help you with this) then connect your phone at the computer.
Windows will recognize new driver and it will fail with installation. Dont worry, open device manager and right click that device and choice update driver. Select install from my computer. Go to omnius installation (c->program files -> omnius -> drivers) and accept. It will show you a warning telling that those arent the proper drivers but its ok, just press install anyway.
Thats it, it will install you the drivers you need.
Now unplug test point and put your battery on (usb cable must be conected).
Now unplug the usb now.
Put usb again on your xperia and once again it will show you new device founded, follow the same step before, device manager, update, from computer, etc, etc). Thats it, now open omnius and press unlock, bootloader and it will succes.
For anothers devices it will be the same but with different testpoint, steps may be different but omnius will show you the way.
I hope this can help you, because is one day left.

unlock bootloader means that you can use fastboot mode.
Also you can unlock your sim for use any operator you want.

First take out battery from phone then take some wire and connect it,to ground (you can find testpoint locations on omnius site) ,also be sure that drivers are installed (you
can find them in S1tool) now comes tricky part where you need to do in few seconds but first check is testpoint connected,so tricky part is that you need to disconnect testpoint and put battery while is sending loader or error will come up (phone will be ok)
I hope you will understand.

Hey everybody,
I just got the x10 today and I've never hacked a Sony so I know nothing about it right now, so forgive my ignorance.
The phone was used and didn't come with a sim card. I've put 2 different sim cards in it that I know are good, but when I boot up it gives me a sim card error and only let's me make an emergency call.
I'm thinking that because his data is on it, it needs his sim card? I have always had cdma phones so sim cards are new to me also.
My question is... Is their a way to get into some kind of boot menu by a button combination at startup or something, where I can delete the phone data?
Any help is appreciated.
Edit... Phone is stock, not rooted, yet
Dude,it seems ur phone is sim locked and u can't use any sim card beside sim card ov network operator that locked ur phone.

How would that happen? The phone is legit, no outstanding bill on that account and its not stolen. Are you saying I need his sim card to unlock it so I can use another?
Just to give you more info, when the lockscreen comes up, it says "sim card is faulty" but if I hold power and select airplane mode, then turn off airplane mode, it let's me past the lockscreen and then I get a toast box that says "sim is not provisioned mm2"
The phone was on at&t when it was used. I don't have an at&t acct. For now I just want to learn about it and root/mod it. Maybe ill call at&t.
Might be another issue :
Some anti-theft antivirus programs are able to lock your phone for your sim-card only (to prevent using another sims when phone is stolen).
If its set as device-manager, it also cant be disabled (requires some password).
So, try to boot up your phone without SIM card ant check this first. If device-manager is not set, then your phone is surely simlocked.
Thanks for the reply, I've tried booting up without a sim card and it gives me an error that no sim is installed and will only let me make an emergency call.
I called at&t last night and the rep asked me to hold the menu + return buttons while pressing power and I should get an option to hard reset the phone. That didn't work so she patched me to Sony. They had me download Sony pc companion and sent me instructions to "repair" it.
He said it was 1 of 2 problems. It's a "software glitch" or a broken sim port.
If the repair won't fix it, ill have to send it in and for $185 they'll fix it (yeah right). When I get home ill try the pc companion. This phone is in mint condition and was fully working before the guy that gave it to me went to an iPhone.

Might be both - hardware malfunction or simple simlock. Personally expect simlock. My phone is not simlocked and when turned on it can run without sim card simply as PDA.
Try to flash your phone with generic WWE ROM and try again. Or before, check if phone doesnt have usb debugging on.
Afraid that no, but try to look with flashtool or adb (if yes, we can make full wipe within xrecovery)

If its sim locked then I'd think that I could use the previous owners sim to get into the system, right? Then how do I sim unlock?
I can't check for USB debugging because I can't get past the emergency call only screen.
I've got the pc companion downloaded on my working phone, when I get home I a couple of hours I'm gonna xfer it to the comp and run it, hopefully that'll fix it. If not, ill wait till Monday and get the previous owners sim and try that. If that doesn't work.... I'm gonna get the night vision goggles back that I traded for this phone, lol.
Running this phone without a sim is exactly what I want, just as a pda. How'd you do it, or better yet, what it called, sim unlocking? I can look for a guide, but I don't even know what its called. I feel really dumb about this phone, sorry bout that, if you came to the evo3d forum I could give you all the help you needed.

OK then If you want to use your phone as pda, without gsm or data connection, then the simpliest thing you can do is to flash stock generic ROM (you dont have to care about baseband and so on).
However you need to do a sim-unlock first because otherwise it will be still locked on the operator. Heart about many unlocking methods on websites, eg. this one (really expensive):
http://www.mobile-unlocker.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10/rs2wp9/
Never tried (always buying phone without sim-lock).
What operator is your phone locked?
YOu probably have to google about your exact operator locked version, hopefully you will find unlocking code or online service for it.
BAM! I got it, thanks for all your help. I used the pc companion and chose repair, I lost all data but that's ok, I was gonna erase data anyway. When I boot up it still gives me a notif that the sim is not provisioned but I can still get into the system.
Time to start hacking away at this thing, I've got a lot to learn I'm sure. I downloaded flashtool and it says it'll root so I'm gonna try that. I'm open to any more help you can give out, you probably think that some of the easy stuff is common knowledge but even the smallest stuff will help me get started. I'm gonna start reading in the sticky section, thanks again for the replies.
Also, after the repair, I have a different lockscreen, it looks like an iPhone lock kinda. Before, I had the lock that went up and right on a curve kinda, how do I get back to that one?

Now i understand why you wasnt able to get into system without sim You were on old android 1.6 which was default OS when X10i was released. But there were two big software updates - 2.1 and last year our beloved 2.3.3.
Thats why you have different lockscreen. In 1.6 it was shaped like half-circle, in 2.3 its just a simple horizontal slide... But there is not any solution how to get this lockcreen back as I know. BTW.: Also liked the old one lockcreen

Ok, I'm starting to get it now... My system info says
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband 2.1.65
Kernel 2.6.29
So far I've rooted, installed xrecovery and unlocked the bl. All the roms I've looked at say I need a higher baseband to use that rom. Can I use the pc companion to update to 2.3.3, and is it gonna cause an issue since I have a custom recovery and unlocked bl? The reason I ask is because on an LG I had, it would brick if you did an official update with a custom recovery.

I recommend you to use Flashtool intead There are problems to get the ftf file with generic ROM, which also includes .71 baseband which is surely needed for any custom ROM. But I think this is simplier solution. If you want active link to FTF bundle I will post it (also with guide, already wrote it for another users).
You can also use PC Companion, and it surely dont affect your phone in any way. If you rooted it and installed xrecovery its surely not problem (I performed this once on my device). Dont know about unlocked bootloader (dont have it and dont want to have it ), but think thats also not problem.
You can brick X10i only if you flash kernel and something unexpected happens (cable unplug etc...).

For unlocked bootloader there is only one main benefit. You can flash any custom kernel directly. On locked bootloader you can also use custom kernel, but it uses "bypass" method - once stock kernel is loaded, special init script gives the control to custom kernel and then custom kernel is loaded. This is 100% safe for noobs and also devs (I was doing some kernelt tweaks, thats why I am on locked - if I do unloadable kernel and flash it on unlocked device... It will be bricked ). But it takes about 2x time to load the system on reboot, because you need to load two kernels instead just one. If you unlock your bootloader, you can overwrite stock kernel with custom one. And when device it powered on, custom kernel is loaded directly and loads faster then by "bypass" method. Another "benefit" is that all of CyanogenMod ROMs requires unlocked bootloader
Unlocked bootloader doesnt affect your "brand", it wont remove it. As wrote before, you need some service which offers unlocking codes or I saw saome tutorials on youtube (give a search ).
But think this is a little nonsense if you want to use your phone as PDA. "Branding" affects only gsm network and 3G data, so you cant use these features without SIM.
Thanks for the info on the locked/unlocked bl.
Now for another question. Let's say I install a Rom and kernel combo that aren't compatible, you said it'll brick. Will that be a hard/permanent brick or could I just use the pc companion and repair it.

On locked bl you can everytime use Flashtool or PC Companion to reapir your phone.
On unlocked mostly too. BUT, as told you. Only if you flash loader or kernel badly (bad cable, unexpected power shutdown etc.) you cant repair your phone with any software. Or, to be perfectionist You can unbrick it, using the "JTAG" connector with some "JIG" box. These hardware are hard to buy, its highly specialized devices and costs about 200€ or even more... With these tools you can unbrick any device everytime, even with damaged system ROM, or unloadable kernel. It will simply overwrite the whole NAND adress by adress, byte by byte with standart system image.
You can also use some high-level services which are equipped with this hw and could do it for you. But its also expensive.BTW. thats why I am thinking about to buy JIG box perosnally
Hi people Im posting here in my old forum because of more experienced devs my Question is which part of the hardware is flashmode associated with because my Xperia J won't boot into flashmode only fastboot which is strange because the bootloader is locked. this is my seccond J so all drivers are installed and my first J still works fine. so what part of the device is broken any ideas. Thanks.
The S1 boot ...You cant access/modify/alter it ...You need to use fastboot to unlock bootloader but on locked bootloader ,fastboot is pointless ....
Try it on another computer ...Windows loves to ignore flashmode for no reason at all...

I flashed my other J before and straight after. so would it be something wrong with the kernel
No ...
The section "related" to fastboot and flashmode lies before the kernel...
It tells the phone to use the boot.img(kernel) to boot the device..
Basically if you cant get the phone to boot in flash mode,you are screwed...
But i believe it's windows fault ,so try it on other machine ...

Try this code to access service menu
*#*#7378423#*#*
Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock should say Yes then only it's unlockable ...
Also ,is this your new phone or refurbished ?
Chances are they dont allow BL unlock on refurbished phone ...

It goes in to fastbootmode (blue led) but if i try to flash an .img it comes up "error device must be rooted" which means a locked BL

Chances are extremely remote...
You need access to phone partitions ...
Lack of USB debugging prevents that..
No terminal command can be issued to phone
Factory reset is impossible without flashmode ...
You can try asking for unlock code via another email id like prantoroy said but chances look slim...
Just a random thought...try using PC companion and see if you can format using it ...

PCC requires the screen to be unlocked to see the phone. Thank you both for your help don't think theres much more to try.
