hi all, about NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
Can i work around this to get those custom room into my phone
a1exander's M1U1 1.11.4 or cyan cm 7.1.0
as its always looses radio signal after unlocking the bootloader
can it be done
anyone who knows how to around this
your phone's sim-unlock was done using non-official methods.... you need to use SETOOL2 sim-unlock service or I had mine done through HTCCODE about a 2 years ago, that was a SEMC unlock and I unlocked bootloader using SEMC unlock program from the_laser. I think the_laser who posted the original bootloader unlock thread operates an SETOOL2 unlock service.
Anyways, you just need to get your phone sim-unlocked (or locked??) again the right way.
well i got my phone radio signal back....with unlock client software
about this issue (NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE MAYBE YOU SHOULD UNLOCK PHONE BY SETOOL2)
My phone was factory unlocked...what can i do to unlock the bootloader
without loosing radio signal, do i need to buy new phone or can i make someone
to change the phone for me....???
anyone with the same problem as i have?
I have the same problem on my X10
I run wotanserver on my Ray with a carrier locked bootloader hoping i got an unlocked one (dont care about SIM lock), but after booting the recently flashed rom, i checked the service tool and it's still locked! and not allowing me to unlock it!
any ideas?

That's weird.. wotan server unlocks sim lock using the test point, so it was supposed to unlock your phone's bootloader too.. maybe you did something wrong.. xD
any way, check this out:
[Unlock Bootloader]Xperias 2011 unlock for free.
yes, i've been trying omnius-server and S1tool for the last 3h!
im using an home made testpoint.
omnius-server doesnt seem to recognise it, and s1 ends with this error:
qcReceivePacket: can't get packet start

how can i unlock x10 mini(build number 2.1.1.c.0.0)bootloader?
plz help...
I don't think we can say that from your firmware version. You'd better have a look at the number on your sticker below the backcover of your phone, telling a date in the format
XXWYY
Where XX is the year and YY the Week, so for example
12W16 would be 2012 week 16
If this date is before 11W29, it's (except mentioned different) safe to unlock your bootloader.
Sent from my E15i using XDA
so if it's after that date and i unlock bootloader then what problem will occur?
it may dead???

As far as I'm aware, the manufacturing date doesn't really matter to 2010 devices, as far as i know that particular issue was only relevant to 2011 devices after a particular manufacturing date.
If you're successful in unlocking your bootloader on the X10-mini solely depends on your simlock-certificate. If you unlock your bootloader, reboot your system and make sure you can still connect to the network, if you can't relock it and hope it will come back to normal. In the last case you're limited to roms that use the stock kernel.
If unlocked with gsm/data still working you can try custom kernels with their respecitve roms
Hope I've helped

sorry but what is simlock-certificate?
As far as i am aware it's the certificate that tells your sim it's locked to your provider, if you bought your phone simlock-free, you will have a standard Sony-Ericsson simlock-certificate, if not you will have one from your provider.
The hack used to bypass the bootloader on the x10mini doesn't work with custom certificates,
If you don't have the sony-ericsson (SEMC) simlock-certificate you need to unlock your phone using a emma/imei code from your provider or using an unlock tool like omnius.
If S1tool identifies your simlock-certificate as unknown, you have the chance that unlocking your bootloader will result in the loss of radio-capability (no GSM/3G), and you are stuck with a device that can't function as a phone anymore.

Hello
I currently own an Xperia Live with walkman which I upgraded to 4.0.4 ICS and rooted.
I'm interested on using custom ROMs so I need to unlock the phone's bootloader in order to install custom kernels.
In the service menu of the phone, rooting status says:
Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
I've read on other threads that this means that the phone also has a network lock, so even if I use the test point method to unlock, I won't be able to use fastboot mode.
However on the SIMLOCK menu of the service menu, all locks are disabled (And I confirmed it by installing another sim from a different phone company).
¿How can I unlock the bootloader (for free, hopefully), and will it work on fastboot mode?
I would advise you to try and go to fastmode connecting the phone to the computer while off and holding the volume up key, the notification led should turn on blue that means that you will have no problem flashing custom kernels but you will need to unlock the bootloader using the test point method.
Also you can double check if the boot loader is really locked in the service menu, software info, under the s1 Boot Version you will find something like this: 1241-3656 r9A029 the letter "r" here refers to the state of the bootloader the lower case means it's unlock meanwhile the capital "R" means its locked.

So, I will never be able to use fastboot?
Even if I unlock the bootloader through test points or the paid method?
Normally, you'd have to unlock it via Wotan Server. It erases SIM lock and unlocks bootloader. Don't know why your phone is already SIM unlocked, though.
Hi,
I have same problem, Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
On every test point tutorial I saw "if Bootloader unlock allowed: YES, than you can continue doing TP".
I want to unlock it, so I can flash CM9.
Can I still use TP to unlock my bootloader?
No, bootloader cannot be unlocked if fastboot is disabled.
The only way to enable fastboot right now is via paid method, which also uses the test point method. I am not sure, but I have heard that in some cases, that method unlocks the bootloader aswell.
So, no custom ROMs for me
So what's the verdict here?
Even though on my LWW I have Bootloader unlock allowed: NO I did the testpoint method to unlock the bootloader and it passed. Afterwards I have S1 Boot Version: r9A021 (notice the r) which means the bootloader is unlocked AFAIK. However I still have no access to fastboot. I can confirm that the phone is simlocked, and before having to pay to get it simunlocked, I want to make sure that doing so will finally enable fastboot.
Again, will having the phone sim-unlocked enable the bootloader to be unlocked, and more importantly gain access to fastboot?

Yes, the bootloader is unlocked, but fastboot is still disabled and phone SIM-locked. The only way to enable fastboot is via paid method.

That's exactly what I am asking. If the phone gets sim-unlocked, does that mean that fastboot will be enabled? What paid method are you referring to? Sim-unlock code? Or is there some other paid method?
Or to put it in better writing, what paid method is there to enable fastboot?

The paid-method is technically you go to your service provider,and ask them for an unlock code for your phone.Normally,you need to pay,but if you are lucky,they can give an unlock code for free :good:
The method to sim-unlock your phone (based on my reading in this forum ) is insert other SIM card that are different carrier,and turn on your phone.There will be a checkpoint which your phone asking for a code,at that time you insert the code that your service provider gave you,and after you enter the code,your phone will automatically sim-unlocked :highfive:
I'm sorry if some of my information is misleading,I hope someone can fix my mistake (if any though)
Or try this,who knows it might work?

I'm planing to buy an unlock code, just want to make sure that by simunlocking it will enable fastboot.
Only wanted to know if anyone knows that it is certain, because i have no need for simunlock other than enabling fastboot so I can flash kernels

I unlocked the sk17i of my son with another simcard and the code from my provider but... bootloader is still NOT allowed
Have you tried the testpoint method to unlock the bootloader?
Unlocking bootloader and sim unlocking both do separate things, but I'm hoping simunlocking + testpoint method will finally enable fastboot.
I'll purchase a simunlock code and post if that helps with enabling fastboot asap.

That's is called sim unlock,and it is used to unlock the phone to use other sim card provider...it also unlock fastboot in your son's phone
Well,the bootloader still can be unlock,see my previous post

I had the same problem and Unlocked with NO PROBLEM....
I can use Fastboot too...
Ok thanks guys you mean we can unlock bootloader even if it's written "not allowed" on *#*#7378423#*#* after simunlock
I will try it later ... when I can acces to the phone ^^
Hi everyone,
I have been trying to unlock the bootloader of my SE MT11i and I can't seem to do it, I continually see bootloader unlock allowed: no
in the phone config. I am wondering if I have any options but to purchase a new phone?
11W49 - year and week code
Methods tried
- s1tool and testpoint (using both the ground near the battery, and the ground on the testpoint section) it runs the unlock =>
SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, PROCEEDING
FINISHED
Elapsed:14 secs.
but when I enter the *#*#737... code I still see the bootloader unlock allowed: no
- fastboot with SE code
Are there any other options? Should I try Omnius or something like that? Will that allow me to unlock the bootloader?
Thanks for any advice you can offer folks.

I have sim lock and locked bootloader and afik there is no "home" method to unlock if in service menu bootloader unlock allowed= no. Unless something changed lately and i mised something

I really think it can be done using the omnius, I just want to be sure before I purchase the product.
