i have x10a that is not unlocked(i.e still locked to AT&T).
can i use the bootloader unlock tool or should i wait.
thanks
edit: i unlocked bootloader using qsd8250_semc and it worked fine.
I have a similar question.
I've unlocked my x10 through imei unlock. Any problems to use the bootloader unlock?
i think you should wait.
as stated you must be unlocked using setool to use the bootloader unlock

that's what i was thinking, if in a couple of days nobody tries to unlock bootloader having the sim unlocked with imei method (the only one available a year ago) i will ask the devs.
thank you
Actually, no need to be unlocked your sim can still be locked. What will happen is if you unlock the bootloader using the_laser method...you won't be able to unlock sim in the future as of now. If your sim is still locked and you don't care about unlocking sim...go ahead and unlock bootloader if you want.
If you unlocked your phone using third party to get imei number and what not...then you most likely cannot/should not try and unlock bootloader, atleast not until someone releases a fix that allows you to do so without losing radio signal.
the_laser actually posted a file that allows you to see if your eligible for bootloader unlock.
EDIT: didn't see your edit...haha oh well will leave this here for someone else.
I'll try tomorrow with the tool to know if i can use it and post the result here. Thank you
Ok, yes please post reply, I would like to know. I also read it shouldn't wipe anything... still ain't safe in unlocking it lol
i've tried with the tool to know the lock certificate and as i unlocked the phone with code, not with other tools i can unlock the bootloader. If you have unlocked your phone through imei code, at least for me, you can unlock the bootloader
I can confirm it works via the method in the OP of this thread for x10a on AT&T. Just follow the directions EXACTLY. Worked first try for me

No it will not wipe anything as long as you do it properly.

Same here. I got it unlocked but had to go back to 2.1, for some reason it wouldn't move forward with the batch file after I did the BB downgrade. I still got it to work though as long as you have a general idea of the steps and what to expect next.
Hey guys i got a pretty straightforward question...
i have unlocked the bootloader and everything is great but now i'm in the need of unlocking my phone... how would i do that? could i relock bootloader and go to stock then unlock it by code provided by my carrier? and if yes would i be able to unlock the bootloader again afterwards?
EDIT:
Oh and by the way inside s1tool it says SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
bump... nobody that can help me?
HI!
I ve got two question. First: If i unlock blootloader official method and lose DRM data and after that I'll relock bootloader, Still will I have the manufacturer's warranty?
Second question:
Is available any method unlock bootloader for LWW without lose DRM data? Something like that KLIK!

No. You will loose warranty as your phone's identity is taken by Sony before they give you the unlock code which is required to unlock your bootloader.
Second method is to use test point method. Search for it and you will know how to do it.
Thanks,

Is there any unofficial way to unlock bootloader on xperia P,S,U? So if I have to carry it to the service I could relock it again and not lose my warranty

please read the post of the link that procyon_prowler posted here and you will find on two or three places where it says that it is OFFICIAL way...using the sony webpage...
so that mean I have to gave them my IMEI and by that I completely lose warranty because guys at the service can check and see that i had unlocked bootloader even if I lock it again
Read the comments on page two. Maybe that'll make you understand how the unlocking/locking works.
---------------
Look! I even copied the important part (by bin4ry) for so you don't need to read it all
After relock you can use SEUS / PCC / EMMA again. The imei is used to generate the unique unlock-key. Also it gets stored to check if you claim warranty. Arc has showed us that SE is not denying warranty at all if you unlocked. They just decline it if the cause of the failure is a custom rom etc. pp. for example if you ****ed your cpu with overclocking.
SEUS/PCC/EMMA checks TA area for the unlock key, if it is present it reject the phone and refuses to update. The relock Doom posted here is the same way we worked out on Arc. It deletes the unlockkey from TA and this way you are again able to use SEUS/PCC/EMMA.

i read that but could not figure out what it means...so if i unlock bootloader there is no way that they can find out that i have unlocked it after i relock it again?
exactly
Couple of things you might need to know
I've searched EVERYWHERE and not found an answer
Phone IS ROOTED
Phone is: Xperia RAY
its GSM Locked
Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO
Now thats cleared my problem
I've searched loads of places (including here) to find a way to unlock my bootloader, the official method does not work (the one through Sony's website) as my phones bootloader is not allowed to be unlocked
So the obvious question is, how do i unlock the bootloader?
There are many threads about that. You can try the paid method via "wotan server", but nobody can promise it will work
Try Setool. I haven't used it but some people say it can unlock bootloaders. http://files.setool.net/support/SETool2/

you can try testpoint method
you can unlock via setool, testpoint method, but if your phone says: Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO then the fastboot mode is disabled, so you can not flash custom kernels even you unlocked it
the only way is a paid method like wotanserver, which i used a year ago and i recommend it
