Unlock Bootloader (Hard bricked my x10) - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can somebody please help me i just try to unlock the bootloader i followed your instructions. i use the command msm7227_semc.
after i press the button to continue then some text appear and seems to be working then i read some word like rooting, rebooting etc. after the phone starts then it shuts off. that's it i try to turn it on, and remove battery, connect to computer but there's no effect or it does'nt respond anymore. please help me i don't know what to do now. i try to surf the net of what seems to be the problem, someone says that the phone is dead and the only thing to get it work again is to JTAG it. is it true? thanks in advance and i 'm looking forward for your answer.

which method did u use? The developer method or the normal method. and which firmware are you on 2.1 or 2,3

Sir i use the method that posted in the link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
i stop on this section because my phone shuts off and i cannot power it on
run msm7227_semc.cmd in the directory you unzipped the unlocking files to and press any key to start the unlocking process. Go to step 5b.

Sir ynkamat i know that you're an experience person on how to unlock bootloader, i already bring my x10 phone to Sony Ericsson service center here in the Philippines Manila. but they told me that they can't repair my phone anymore, because their computer can't detect my phone anymore. and they even don't know the term bootloader so i've decided to bring it to a fly by night cellphone technician and they will Jtag my X10 but in a condition that i'll pay $35 to jtag or repair my phone. i will get my phone tomorrow morning. sir after i get my phone can you please tell me what is the simple and more accurate method to use in order to unlock the bootloader. Thanks in advance and i appreciate all your help.

Hi zerolock1, firstly why did you refer to boot unlocking method of some other phones. The right method is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
Damn. To be very frank I couldnt unlock my bootloader via this method. So I downgraded my fw from 2.3 to 2.1 and we have a simple one touch tool for unlocking bootloader in the android development section. After that I upgraded back to 2.3 and I am happy to avail benefits of it.

Are u mad u are trying to unlock bootloader with wrong tool and it will brick everytime u are trying to unlock bootloader with x8 tool on x10?
U need this tool and guide here
Never try unlocking bootloader with the tool u tried and got bricked that tool is only for x8!!

Hopeless?
I've done in my X10 and have attempted everything from here I can find. I can't unlock bootloader because it won't flash properly =( Always goes to 99% and fail. PCC, PCC repair, SEUS, Flashtool all fail

Since you're at least seeing the Sony Ericsson logo, there's still hope yet & your phone isn't a true brick (yet!). So you should be able to at the very least flash the 2.3.3 recovery image by DoomLord & get back to stock formware...
Are you sure you have all the proper drivers installed on the system...

problem
I have a problem when I put my x10 into flash mode it says Error in processHeader : 31 : A device attached to the system is not functioning.PLS help me...sry for my bad english

Dude, did u check your phone manufacture date? If it is past 11w29, then u might hardbrick ur phone. Mine is 11w04 and I unlocked bootloader.

Go to dialer and press *#*#service#*#* (service being the numbers 7378423)
Then there a option you can look at which tells you if bootloader is unlocked

You can try flashing custom kernel via fastboot, and start phone.
About wotan server, you must be doing something wrong, because if you unlocked BL by test point, you can use SEUS, PC companion or wotan server.

[Q] Is my bootloader already unlocked?

Hello,
im trying to get a cfw on my x10i ( which i bought second hand a while ago and dont know what already bin done whit it ). Which means i have to unlock my bootloader, ive tryed s1tool which wont work for me. ( gives me an error about not finding some path, did read somewhere that repairing phone firmware with seus should fix that.)
Also i did read somewhere ( unfortunatly i cant find it anymore, shame on me ) something about a small r and a big R within the bootversion, but im not sure anymore.. the small r meant it was unlocked? Or im i mistaking? My bootversion says:
s1 boot version: 1226-2253 r8AO33. ( found it within service menu --> software info. )
So does this mean my phone already got an unlocked bootloader and i can install a cf without myself going through the hassle of unlocking my bootloader, or does it mean something else?
Hoping some one could help me out on this,
Greeting mellowbug.
does it show sony ericson logo on booting????? if its unlocked..it shouldnt show usually....
At OP, yes your bootloader is unlocked. Happy flashing
@smithinsundar: Unlocking the bootloader does not imply that the SE boot logo would vanish. This is related to the boot logo which is in the kernel itself. So only by flashing a kernel for unlocked bootloaders would make the SE logo go away.
Oke great, thanks aR_ChRiS now i can start flashing and feeling i bit more secure. Yeah..
greetings. mellowbug.

"No service" after installation of miniCM7 on X10 mini Pro

Hi all,
I installed MiniCm7 on my X10 mini pro using these instructions :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415026
And for unlock the bootloader these instructions :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
No problems during this steps, when I reboot my phones MiniCM worked perfectly but there was no service and I couldn't connect the phone on the network.
So, I tried to reinstall the stock version of Android with SEUS but the problem is still here....
If somenon knows the origin of this problem, this could really help me!

The reason for manufacturers to ship their phones with locked bootloaders in the first place is to guarantee that carriers don't get burdened with users messing up their phones, and allowing the carriers to run their own proprietary software (which they say gives them added value over the competition).
So, in order to allow users to mess with their phones, some very clever people hacked the security-mechanism of the bootloader.
Unfortunately, that hack for the Xperia X-devices is not perfect, and can disable the radio-capability of your phone (resulting in loss of network-access/unrecognised sim-cards) if the simlock-certificate on your phone is non-standard.
If that happens, the only way to hopefully get it back is to relock your bootloader so it looks original again.
(I'm not sure if you read the thread on unlocking the bootloader, but there is good reason for the big warnings in red letters about checking your sim-lock certificate with S1Tool before unlocking, and the risks involved in that)
In short: The cause of network-loss the OP reported, wasn't caused by the software, because even back on stock firmware it still occurred. So the cause must be the other thing he messed with
And repairint your phone with sony-ericsson's software does not relock the bootloader.

Yes, I did and it is solved. I reflashed the stock by SEUS and I did unlocking procedure again using msm7227_semc.cmd. Now everything is ok. Thanks.

[Q] x10 wont go into the bios thingy to let me hard reset?

Hello all,
Got an xperia x10 of a friend, now im trying to do a hard reset on it by doing this -
Turning it off
Hold the bottom left and right key and then press the on button to try and get it to go into the bios thingy? (not sure what they call in on phones)
and it wont work it just turns on??
Getting annoying as im also thinking about rooting the phone and putting jelly bean or ICS on it but I cant as I cant get into the bios thing
Help would be great please
Sorry its an xperia x10i if that makes any difference
for the "BIOS" thing. Do you mean recovery?
if you don't have it then just get it via flashtool
There is no hard reset n x10 only soft reset,or do it by this way:
1 From the Xperia 10 Home screen, tap the applications bar.
2 Tap Settings > SD card & phone storage > Factory data reset > Reset phone.
3 Enter your screen unlock pattern.
4 Tap Erase everything.
or just use pc companion to wipe everything
Hello, Cheers for the replys, yes that's the recovery I meant, but hmm im new to all of this.
and cheers will give that wiping a go..
So my phone is currently on 2.3.3
all standard,
Can one of you or someone help me with the following,
First I need to unblock it as it is currently locked to virgin or tmobile I think and I would like to use either o2 or orange,
I would then like to Root it and then install ICS or JB on it
I have never done this before so as much help would be really appreciated
Thank
You need to find a shop or someone who uses setool 2 to unlock the phone as it will unlock the bootloader at the same time, if you use any other software to unlock the phone you wont have any network if you unlock the bootloader afterwards the only ways to have a signal is by unlocking with setool 2 or via the unlock code from the network provider, once your bootloader is unlocked you can proceed to flash an ics/jb rom just follow the instructions posted on which ever rom you want to install.

Seems Bricked :)

Hi Guys,
My xperia mini pro was acting kinda wierd lately with the phone getting stuck while using the slider keyboard. This went on for a day and then the speaker on the phone stopped working and i was forced to use the headset for all calls. Then the very next day, the display went off completely. I have not rooted the phone and its on stock OS. Bootloader is locked too.
I used the search option and found this link which almost completely explains my issue http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918271
Did as told there, SUS did find my phone and i could reinstall the OS, but it still didnt bring back the display.
So i m off to service center to get the flex cable changed.. :good: wonder y they make this thing so, if the cable damage is almost certain.
My q. is can i unlock my bootloader once the phone arrives from service? I am on 11W49. Had seen a similar thread saying anything after 11w29+ will brick the phone, but it was for Xperia X8. I am using the Xperia mini pro, will it brick the phone? i wanted to load MiUi on it
Unlock it using the official method by sony and it won't brick
If you want to know how to do this, read my guide on how to unlock the bootloader
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.3
Thanks mihahn,
Will do it once i get it back from service.
The issue of hard bricking would be applicable to X8 alone i suppose.
U can also try unlock it using test poin method. My XMP is 12W07 and everything went fine. But U must be sure, that in service menu under rooting status is Bootloader unlock allowed: yes Otherwise U won't be able to unlock bootloader for free
