ok so i used the tool to check see if i could unlock my boot loader, which said i had the semc certificate so i could proceed,
i then unlocked my bootloader , instaled custom kernel from doomlord, now my phone only makes emergency calls someone did mention about if it wasnt unlocked properly , it would lose my radio, so it would seem this is what has happened,
now my question is, how do i sort it any advice is greatly apreciated, i have tried multiple roms, kernels,
thanks andy
Did your phone locked simcard or not?

ask the laser, I'm pretty sure he said the only way to fix it its to pay and use setool though
my phone was unlocked, and the bootloader test tool said it had the semc certificate,

ye ive pmed him, awaiting response, that being said someone already said it]f the test too said sems certificate then it should be ok, the phone actually isnt recognizing any sim card now, saying baseband unknown altho ive tried to reflash 2.1.71
Try flash 2.1 and maybe try unlocking bl again, my bb was unknown after I unlocked my bl and that's what I did, so back to stock 2.1, than root, install xrec unlock bl,and than go from there.... hope you get it fixed

Nope,bootloader doesn't mean that u have your sim unlocked,its a different thing.

Careful buddy u gonna mess ur phone up. U have no reason to downgrade kernel now flashtool can do it all on 2.3.3. If u unlocked successfully then it will still be unlocked unless u relock it yourself (flashing new Rom/changing kernel etc will not relock it). Refer to various guides on bl unlock but be careful. That sounds like a recipe for disaster pal. (if u need help pm me but it sleep time for me now so it'll b tomoz)

I'm trying to solve a problem, but I realize that I need some help, and I think that my question could be someone's question too.
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader with the smartphone locked to Vodafone or other service provider? If not, how can I unlock the smartphone?
Yes, you can. My sim-card is also locked, i suggest you unlock bootloader from newest flashtool cuz it's easier.
Or use the guide by 9Lucas5 (use semc.bat)
I tried to use the 9Lucas5 guide but I've got no results, probably because I have emuled Windows on my MAC OS .
But I haven't tried with this new version of the flashtool yet. Do I need any firmware?

I have x10i too, but it didn't work. Tomorrow I will try again.
I have many times unlocked bootloader, perfectly know this procedure and has noticed, that sometimes it is possible to reach result, only by preliminary flashing of official 2.1 ROM. Certainly, thus it is not more necessary to do "kernel downgrade"

Use flashtool method not kernel up/down method it slightly old and flashtool is a one button method which doesn't require changing kernel in any way (from gb)

That's not what it does. It means that if u use a custom kernel it will boot into that straight away, saving time, rather than booting up semc kernel then custom one (hence why se logo disappears on boot)

Maybe the developer doesn't care since you've slagged off his rom.
I used to be like you until I read Feras statement about "roms he creates as for his use and he shares them for people to try".
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Right, so first: Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Second: Is your phone sim-unlocked? (In other words, are you able to use a sim card from another carrier in your phone?)
Third: If you haven't gotten your x10 sim-unlocked you're going to have to relock your bootloader.
Here is the tool to relock your bootloader.
Fourth: Assuming the above is all true, you need to sim-unlock your phone. You can either contact your cell carrier (if you bought the phone from them), or use one of the paid services online. I don't know which service can do it because I went with the cell carrier route
Hope I helped! If I did, don't forget to hit the 'thanks' button

Depends on your bootloader status. If u unlocked bl after SIM-unlock u may have broke radio. Revert back to stock and relock bl then u can start again

$100.... it's sounds good? Okay from my experience I bought my XperiaZ from Australian Telco before and it said Bootloader unlock allowed:No
but when I flashed official generic ftf using flashtool. It's said Bootloader Unlock allowed:Yes. So if you can take a risk try it(do it by your own! and don't forget to back up!)... you might try to do that. Luckly my XperiaZ2 is bootloader allowed one. Hope I have a chance to get 100bucks

This is very dangrous, this depends on the contents of the FTF and i wouldent recoment this at al
Have you tried flashing the German DE generic FTF, i think it has stuff for the TA partition
This may do your job
I still dont recomend, do this at your own will if you know how to unbrick a device
Although i would try it but only because i know how to unbrick a xperia (lol this part usualy takes a while)

I noticed him that it must be done by his own.... But he asks us to is there are anyway to do that? so I just posted the way I did.
I am not recommending him to do that.... I just simply answered his question. Always flash ftf w/o TA and partition.
It is recommended everywhere and If once he started to searching about flash tool it is warned by everyone.
You can't back up TA partition w/o root. So I don't think there is any way to get XperiaZ2 to back to completely stock.
(Although i would try it but only because ←What does it mean? It doesn't make sense for me.)
Well, I tried to flash the stock FTF.. same version as my devices. It errored.. and I am now bricked.
You can't modify an FTF and flash it to a bootloader locked device, modifying it will break Sony's signature verification
I'm guessing there's no way to unbrick?

How i unbrick my devices usualy (if they are locked bootloader)
Pt1
Unplug device totaly
Hold power
Hold volume up
Wait for it to buzz 3 times in a row
(rubber bands usualy help)
(ensure battery isnt killed from doing this (low charge)
(aka dont leave rubber bands for several hours)
Pt2
Download and install sony PC companion
Go to support
Go to repair device

You'll need to find Sony's signing key then. Good luck with that
Aww.... We warned you.... it must be done by your own and not recommended. Try SEUS.... (Not sure if it works for yours....
Everything what you've done with flashtool will be avoid your warranty..... I think when you downloaded flashtool they warned you again....
As EnviousData warned you too.... even I did not recommended to do that.... dear....

Honestly i say keep your $$$ and wait for a exploit or root method of sorts
Me and my FTF will be a while and Z2 Development has started very slow and may be a while before anything of the sorts comes avaliable
I suggest if you realy want to root try exchanging your device for an unlocked one (or unlockable :/)
