Well.. It certainly is thorough. A tad too much text for me and it's not as straightforward as it could have been, but it seems alright.
By any chance, is there any possibility it could be stripped down even further? I don't care about the disclaimers as it's common sense that whomever writes a guide is not to be blamed if something isn't working as it should do by the end of such guide.
I have fully working adb drivers for my phone. I know that since I have used adb multiple times lately. It is branded and sim locked to Three (operator in Sweden)
Is it possible to strip it down to, say this format:
1. bla bla bla
2. do this
3. do that
4. then do this
5. etc. etc. etc.
Do you understand? I'd like it if it was much less text and short but straightforward numbered "to-do's".
If it is not doable, I will have to go through your texty guide and I sincerely thank you for at least making an easier guide than that of the_laser. Kudos to him for making it possible to unlock our bootloaders.

The thanks button is right next to the quote button. It is not visible when on Tapatalk or any other Tapatalk based apps.
Leave the bootloader unlocked. If you relock it, it will reject the custom kernel.
Hi thanks for your reply, I'll try it out to night so that I can install CM7, I'm on CM6 at the mo.

guys help me, it came out that I had setool2, and as I do the unlock with the appropriate file, my result was that the lost cell coverage and probe and using the file SEMC and has not been solved, I've tried everything and I am scared: block again with the setool1 bootloader, I have spent the cel by SEUS.
really do not know what else to do
Hi,mini pro user here.Well,i tried to unlock the bootloader following the procedure step by step,but all i get in the end is the RUNNING S1_EROM VER "R8A029".I think it is because of this: http://i.imgur.com/zv3rR.png but this file exists in /system/bin :/ .Any suggestions?

Credit goes to SpyderX!
If you relock your bootloader while using a custom kernel your phone will be bricked!
1. Download S1tool and extract it to an appropiate location on your PC (not needed if you already have s1tool) . (Credits go to the_laser for this tool)
S1tool post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...0&postcount=26
Direct download link: http://db.tt/OrOQO33
2. Then, download and Install Flashtool v0.2.9.1 beta (don't use 0.3.0.0 as profile for our phones need to be added. It's simpler to use 0.2.9.1 beta) Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
Download Link: http://www.multiupload.com/7H4JT35B6G
(Credits go to Androxyde and Bin4ry for this tool.)
After installing it, open the flashtool folder and open the drivers folder inside that. Double click on the ggsetup-2.2.0.10.exe file inside and install Gordon's Gate (needed for Flashtool to work).
Note: This Gordon's Gate Driver Installation will work for X8, X10 mini and X10 mini pro. I'm not sure about that of W8 but I think that is also supported.
Note: This Flashtool and Gordon's Gate installation is not needed if you have already done this.
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Launch s1tool.exe in the folder you extracted s1tool to.
5. Click on Restore button and then connect your phone to the PC in flash mode (press and hold back button while connecting your phone to the PC).
6. Wait for the process to complete. Congratulations! You now have relocked your bootloader!

I unlock the Bootloader with Omnius and the code 123456 have not worked me.
I would like to know if it works and repair the phone battery error 100% to make the code because I have it under warranty.
Someone could confirm if it works because if it does gives me equal to lose the warranty.

hi all,
i want to ask you a way to relock the bootloader?
the method described by SpyderX didn't work for me while i unlocked the bootloader via the method he described!
for details i have did the following:
i unlocked bootloader via his method
i didn't change stock kernel
i run S1tool =====> didn't find any button called restore!
i couldn't relock bootloader...
i only need to lock my bootloader to check something with the radio chip with the SE dealer over here.
EDIT: forgot to mention that i have X10 mini pro
how to relock boot loader:
1. Flash stock kernel or stock ROM with flashtool v 0.2.9.1 Beta
2. Run S1Tool and choose the RESTORE option until there is a message to turn off and connect phone to pc
3. Turn off the phone and connect to the pc, wait until the process is complete.
4. please be sure to check by S1Tool.
Here i have the S1Tool with RESTORE option, to relock bootloader. All kredit to the Laser For the tool, and don't forget to press thanks button if i can help you.
Sorry for my bad English

Thats ok, you can read in spyderX thread. here :
If the line RUNNING S1_EROM FROM VER "#8A02$" has a lowercase "r" letter replacing the "#" (RUNNING S1_EROM FROM VER "r8A02$"), your bootloader was not successfully relocked . If it has an uppercase "R" replacing the "#" (RUNNING S1_EROM FROM VER "R8A02$"), your bootloader has been successfully relocked .
Note: The value of the "$" is dependent on an unknown factor. The unknown factor doesn't matter to us.

Hello!
I am owner of x10 mini pro that has 2.1-update android version.
In a discussion with a guy , i asked him if i can update this version to the newest one. And he answer that that will be possible if the Boot Loader of the phone will be unlocked.
So.. by searching in this forum i found this thread that talks about unlocking boot loader.
So my question is if it is possible now to install the last version of Android in this phone and if not , which is the last version of android that can be installed in this machine?
Thanks..
Not necessary unlock your bootloader, you can try many roms without flashing the kernel, so I recommend you to flash MiniCM7Pro by paul, for starting, it's Android 2.3.7 And you dont have to unlock your bootloader...
becarefull with unlocking bootloader it will briked your phone..
here the easiest way to do it..!
I am not Responsible if it BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!!

Thanks to
the_laser, Androxyde, Bin4ry, SpyderX for his Tutorial (I used his one ) and Every Single Soul who helped to Unlock the Bootloader
Thanks for your answers guys.
Now some new questions were born.
@icerebro :
What i found in the forum about MiniCM7Pro is this . Also this thread doesn't have any instructions on how to flash this ROM in phone.
This one has instructions on how to do this but it talks about flashing kernel ( needed unlocked boot loader).
Maybe there is somewhere else a tutorial on how to flash only ROM but can't see it.
@nelikp
Hmm in this thread i read this "MiniCM7 + nAa Kernel = Best Combination." and a later post explains why. So.. this makes me to ask what if my phone be briked ? If happen i couldn't reset it at factory's default settings or fix it someway ?
Also B) Download S1tool and C) Download Unlocker links in your tutorial are broken.
Finally , whats going on with languages ? If i flash both Kernel and ROM how then can i add my native language to write at sms ? Or doesn't need such a thing ?
Is possible to change and the boot screen too ?
This Is what i did for Installing MiniCM7 V21 Pro By Paul:
Before That Download MiniCM7_Pro_V19.zip & MiniCM7_Pro_V21.zip
1: install CWM v3.2 on your phone.Get it Here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106146)
2: boot your phone and go to CWM by pressing back button several times.
3: do a factory reset

8: repeat step 5.then reboot your phone.
9: go to CWM recovery again,select 'Install zip from sdcard' & choose custom zip....and select MiniCM7_Pro_V21.zip
Thank you too for your instructions. But tell me.. if i flash only the ROM (MiniCM7 V21 Pro) the Wifi tether will be working or not ? And if i try to Unlock my bootloader to change and the kernel and my phone got briked can i fix it then or it will be for trash.
If you make a mistake while unlocking your bootloader, you can brick your phone. At this point, the only way to fix it is to send it off to SE and ask them very nicely to repair it for you.
So read the above instructions carefully!
so far i have no problem with the wifi..remember...you have to make a full wipe before installing the rom.and if you have problem with the wifi,please read the question & answer section provided at the MiniCm Pro V21 thread..and Ticklefish is right...there's no way to fix it..so be careful when you want to do it..
Finally i flashed MiniCM7 V21 Pro ROM correctly and now im playing with my new android version..
Thanks to all of you!
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.

Well not exactly I unlocked the bootloader and was unable to access fast boot mode on my lww due to the simlock. I had to do a full unlock before had access to fastboot.

Then I do this and it works pretty well.

But do you have access to fastboot?? Connect the phone to the PC while it is off and you are holding the volume up key the notification led should turn on blue.

You can do it with a clip. You can search for YouTube videos about test point or unlocking Xperia 2011 phones.
Hello!
So this method works for live with walkman? Can I install costum roms after that? Is my warranty still valid after I unlock bootloader with this method / can I re-lock bootloader if needed?
Thank You!
Have a nice day

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.

correct! If you want to acces root you now have to download http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...de-root-cwm-unlock-bootloader-custom-t2403929 that and run the runme.bat file. Connect your phone and you should be running ICS 4.0.4. I had the 89 when I rooted. Enable usb debugging, you can search on how to do that and after that you connect your device to your pc and click 1 on the runme.bat file and hit enter. Wait for the magic and if you are stuck at ''if succes i will tell you'' part, wich I was. Just unplug your phone, reboot and go to your appdrawer and find the ''make a copy and restore'' app and click on find a copy and click on ''root'' (something like that) and after that click restore. Reboot and then download kingroot, the latest is recommended. And roooooooot . After that you may want to replace the kingroot root authorizer with super su. This is optional but I recommend it. Follow http://androidmtk.com/replace-kinguser-with-supersu that tutorial and you should be good to go!
Well this thread is extremely old so I suppose it should be closed.
