http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide
I used "DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su" to root my sk17i very easy and fast, but dont know how to SIMUNLOCK it.
Thanks for suggestions,

No, it can't.
Myths about what unlocking bootloader can do
1. Real dual touch for synaptic devices.
2. Higher max CPU overclock frequency.
3. Sim-unlock your phone

But unlocking via test point can unlock sim.
For example, try to use Omnius.

So you mean, Can I network unlock with SETool ?

You can unlock bootloader with this without losing anything.
But Omnius for SE writes that you can do simunlock, if you unlock bootloader through test point.
Anyway, Let's try

you cant unlock new SE phones for free
omnius also not free

only bootloader unlock is free (for example with s1tool) and bootloader unlock is just a necessary step in the sim unlock procedure

I only talked about the fact that the bootloader unlock for free, and not about free simunlock.
I used s1tool and omnius to unlock and there had been written about the simunlock bootloader during.

[Q] Wotanserver Unlock?

Hi, new here .
Quick question; has anyone successfully unlocked their XMP with the Wotanserver client? I want to make sure they're reputable and trustworthy before I hand over ~£13. As far as I understand, this is the easiest way to remove a carrier-lock (and no free way exists).
This is mainly so I can then unlock the bootloader and install custom kernels.
Thanks!
I have read from somewhere, that they have unlocked their Xperia with WotanServer and it succeeded. Can't remember, which topic it was....Try searching.
if they use a test point method then you can be almost sure it will work well.
I have unlocked 2 both went without a problem
Sent from my Xperia Mini Pro using xda premium
But, does it give you fastboot? (To flash new kernels)

He needs to remove network-lock, which can be done via WotanServer.

It can be wotan server or omnius or setool but by my own experience if the server uses the test point method there will be no prob and maybe even will left the bootloader unlock.
You can unlock the sim using test point or imei code. So i don't know if wotanserver uses test point as i don't know if the imei method will unlock the fastboot mode that is why i made a comment about the method.

Yes, it does because unlocks bootloader too..
Ok thanks for the replies .
So basically I need to find out from them what method they use (not sure if they'll tell me that :S) and ask if I can unlock the bootloader as a result of using their tool - or if their tool unlocks the bootloader as well.
I'll post here when I get an answer .

dude, to unlock from wotan server, you use the test point method.. And when o unlock your phone from network, it will unlock bootloader too, so you don't have to worry with that anymore... btw, after unlock your phone, don't do officials updates from sony, it will brick your phone..

Ok thanks, I guess I'll go ahead with this then.
Just to clarify on your last point; it's the bootloader unlock which won't play nice with sony updates, right? So if I want to use an official update in the future I can just re-lock the bootloader but keep the network unlocked?

From what we know at the moment, yes it is so.
Not much people have network locked phone, so we don't have much information.
And yes, unlocked bootloader will not let Sony updates to be installed.

This should have gone to the general thread, but try to have a look at this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510756

I have no idea (as I have not needed this), but my best guess would be that those people may not have installed the correct driver that comes with flashtool.
Seems tha mobile phone is a branded phone..... its a paid method yhu gonna use, check wotanserver client maybe yhu can get something there!
###Check dis video out buddy, it might help.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn-Vubgka1M
If you have
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
Click to expand...

then you have to use paid method, because fastboot is disabled. There is no other way to enable fastboot at the moment.
Yes, I have "Unlock allowed: NO" and ran many times S1TOOL without success because i made a very bad choice to buy a mobile from VODAFONE (the worst company, in my opinion)
So, the only way to enable boot loader as far as I know is by UNLOCK in a shop. One of my friend did this to a sk17i of YOIGO and did the trick well. He can now enjoy the miniICS which run amaizing.
Im thinking to do the same. SONY and VODAFONE deceive me. (and its not the first time)
I dont think by software like Wotan you could do. (

Bootloader unlock allowed: no

when i check *#*# code7378423#*#*
in service menu
Bootloader unlock allowed no
what should i do???
i need to unlock my bootloader
please pelp
get an unlock code from your network provider, some people have said that once they removed the simlock its let them unlock the bootloader. if that doesnt work then theres not much you can do untill someone works out another way to unlock it
no fastboot mode.
Theres only one solution I know of, and it may be a crazy one....
Use search first, and read the other 500 threads created on this topic ;-)
Short answer: No, not able to be done yet.

If you want to unlock the boot loader, use the wotanserver.com
* In addition to sim unlock you get an unlocked bootloader.
However, it seems to me that at the moment, this service does not support SXS
Try to write the administration service.

What is a "rootable bootloader"?
For the Croatian members:
I've just called customer service of Vipnet( Vodafone) and they told me that there is no problem, you can unlock boot loader for only 480 HRK (~65€).
Well, if there's no free unlocking solution in few weeks I'll have to milk some cash. It's still better then locked for life.

Pay more for a phone that's SIM-Free and not subsidized by a network. That is the only way.
guys, try the ezSEMC. it's realy working, but it's paid.
I'm not seller. I used it on my acro hd and i'd got the bootloader unlock allowed: yes.
What about U/P/Sola

Xperia U - Bootloader not allowed to be unlocked? How can we bypass this?

Well I remember when i had the Xperia Play for the 1st time the phone was locked and fastboot couldnt not be accessed and bootloader could not be unlocked so i had to pay someone $15.00 to do a testpoint thing online, i cant remember his name now!
but anyhow what i was wanting to know is there anyway i could do it to the Xperia U so i can get access to fastboot and the bootloader to unlock it?

Yup, I kinda assumed you didn't read stuff, but guess you did.
So, it's branded by your provider/carrier? Otherwise it should be no problem.
Also same problem...
Bought mine from Vodafone Portugal and it says unlocking not allowed...
Let's pray for an answer...

mhh, that's an interesting option (no loss of DRM etc)
Let us know if he can fix it too for the Xperia U, would be good to know as I'm close to releasing a App for the U only that requires root
and a clean unlock/root could be more attractive to people
will ask him that now

i got my Xperia Acro HD (previously network locked to Docomo, "bootloader unlock allowed = no") unlocked using ezSEMC tool.
after the unlock process (via USB cable, an old reliable Win7 laptop, and a working 2mbps internet connection), the phone is now network unlocked and "bootloader unlock allowed = yes".
payment was around 50US$ via Paypal, (unlock cost for your device should be less) the unlock process was quick and painless.
this is not an advertisement for the product(although it does sound like an endorsement BS) but just letting you know of an alternative that is proven to work and deliver.

I have a Xperia U that says bootloader allowed no. Is there a way to unlock the bootloader?
I think only Sony Mobile can help us
We should never buy a phone from the carrier network again.
There is no way,end of story.
There is a way. You must contact your carrier and ask them to do it. They will tell you where to send your phone in order to unlock your boot loader. For example, here in Portugal, Datafax is able to change your boot loader status to "allowed= yes"
