Not sure...
I am not up to speed on cm7.1, but you can try it and see.
My initial thoughts (Anyone please correct if I am wrong) is that cm7.1 uses cm5 recovery which is unavailable in locked bootloader. So if you need to update you will have to re unlock and then relock again....
An unlocked bootloader is required for the full functionality of cm7.1, but weather it is needed to function on a day to day basis I am unsure..
ps, why did you need to relock your bootloader? My guess is you simunlocked via a different method than setool and it crashed your radio.
There is hope (If you want to beleive) if you follow this thread, but beware..there have been false claims before..
Please check this.

Hi,
I was in stock IO limited 3.1 and flashed Task 7.1 first and Overcome ROM (latest) to give it a try.
After Overcome I realized that I had no longer access to fastboot option in bootloader, only revocery and odin. I think the problem came here:

http://p7510.teamovercome.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/odin2.png
Also I lost nvflash posibility, getting rmc 0x4 error all the time (guess it is locked)
Is there anyway to get fastboot back? or to unlock bootloader so I can get trough nvflash?
Now I am trying this threat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119492
But cannot get fastboot or nvflash to work
Thanks in advance
i will be waiting for an answer as well. My bootloader was locked by the touchwiz update

AFAIK we cannot unlock a locked bootloader as of now. And why do you need an unlocked bootloader?

What I want is fastboot and not recovery in bootloader, and with a locked bootloader cannot use nvflash in case anything goes wrong.
Hi there is it possible to relock the boot loader for xperia mini? I unlocked it because i tried CM7. Now I am thinking of going bag to original firmware. Any help is appreciated!
If relocating is not possible, what should one do to get as close as possible back to the original firmware, is it still possible to get official upgrades?
Best,
Thorsten

Third, remember if you are doing it with official method, you will never able to receive FOTA or SEUS update, you can, but only by flashing from xda.
So since we did the unofficial method, After we update through SEUS the bootloader is still unlocked?
I don't know about that. Since the service info still says bootloader unlocking allowed, I think the phone thinks itself as still locked. Flashing from seus might rely more on drm instead of whether the bootloader as locked or not.

when service info says Bootloader unlock allowed: true, that means that it the bootloader is locked, but can be unlocked at will
as many devs say, unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty and bricks the phone when doing FOTA or SEUS
but there's a flashtool out there for us that will take care of it

You do know this method right? http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/ When using that method, it is unlocked but the report still says 'Bootloader unlock allowed: true'. So if you use this method (as what idareyou and me were doing back then) the phone thinks that it is still 'locked', even though it's unlocked.

Yeah. I can confirm that my bootloader is unlocked but it still says 'Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes'
I thought at first I wasn't succesful even though it went smoothly so I tried flashing custom Kernel and it was succesful.
I want to know if in the future if SE release their ICS and we update using SEUS the unlocked bootloader remains because believe me, I don't want to go through the same process again, I got electrecuted several time because I don't have test points, just a clip and copper wire.

Veimus from original thread confirm that seus do works and he can reflash the gingerbread from seus. Sm gt should be ok with ics, And with Sony confirms mo changes hm kernel. I think it will be Rom update only.

yes i do, apparently i forgot to mention your last sentence. you've just beat me to it )
To reiterate for anybody's notice:
Bootloader unlock allowed: true

means that you can unlock the bootloader, BUT it does not say if the bootloader is locked/unlocked already
I recently simunlocked my SK17a using Omnius so I went ahead to unlock the bootloader on my phone via the Sony Ericsson Official way and it ended up telling me that it's already unlocked, however, s1tool still gives me a capital R for the loader string and my phone still says "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: yes". I don't know weather to believe Android SDK or s1tool.
Try flashing a custom kernel in fastboot to test... if it works then you have successfully unlocked bootloader and kept DRM...

if you do it properly then there is no chance of bricking it.
flashing a kernel would not work if the bootloader is not unlocked...
I seem to not be able to find a .58 kernel.
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398910 try this one it should work with stock rom.
I risked it by flashing CM7. My bootloader is unlocked!
well done!! you can be at ease anyways as there's almost no way you could brick your phone. anyway we are still here if you need any more help!!
Hello,
I am only user, so no detailed knowledge about Android. But I am able to read instruction, so I've flashed often ROMs and also Kernel without problems.
(BTW - nice forum - and thanks to all developers to give us the chance to modify mobile phone)
Last time after flashing CM7.22 + nAa-Kernel (I flashed without SIM inside) I had no GSM after inserting SIM-Card. All other functions works normally (in Stock-ROM only in flight mode - in normal mode it hangs).
After that I tried several things:
- PC Companion Repair - so flashing Stock ROM
- SEUS flashing Stock Rom
- Bootloader unlock
- Root again
- Other Kernel /ROMs
- Flashing Stock-ROM with bootloader
All time no GSM. Can I do anything else ? Can it be Software failure, or maybe random Hardware failure, happens just when I flashed....?
Has somebody an idea ? Or is it bricked ?
X10 MINI or MINI PRO?
Also, if your deviced was branded (I mean if it has some carrier's label on your phone or apps pre-installed) and supposing you unlock bootloader, the GSM gets disabled. When you flash stock, bootloader gets patched and you have GSM again, I think or you've lost it forever and you need to recover it with
Also please, post in the correct section, this is a Q/A thread.
A known quote from SpyderX
If the simlock certificate specified is SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, or anything other than NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, or if you are sure you sim-unlocked your phone using Omnius, jump to step 3.
If the simlock certificate specified is NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, you can't unlock the bootloader of your phone. If you try, radio capability of your phone will be disabled (this has been reported to be untrue by a number of people who claim to have unlocked bootloader successfully with msm7227_semc.cmd).
Do note that the SIMLOCK certificate doesn't mean that you have/don't have a sim lock on your phone.

Note that radio capability is the GSM.

In fact, bootloader was never unlocked, it was backdoored patched, thus, when you flash stock the patch is replaced with stock "file" resulting a "bootloader lock".
Your argument is totally invalid. I had unlocked bootloader, flashed back to stock and bootloader was locked, I couldn't flash kernel. So I unlocked again.
I can confirm you are wrong, because I did many tests on bootloader locking/unlocking.
No offence,
Thank you.

I don't meant to prolong this out of place thread, but..
How do you unlock your bootloader ? When I unlock it using flashtool, I never got mine locked again, even after flashing back to stock rom / kernel using flashtool or SEUS as well... I can just flash another kernel after SEUS-ing it, without the need to unlocking it again. .
How can your phone locked itself again ?

I never used FlashTool for bootloader unlocking, always the old traditional way of patching bootlaoder with s1tools.
Unlocking with FlashTool might be the issue. I can't tell how to lock it again, I only know that this is due to FlashTool.

Hi,
at first so good news - phone works - very good feeling to write this !!!
I posted my problem in Q/A-section (sorry again for posting my question here first).
Roughly explained I got hints - so I flashed Stock-ROM again, then I relocked bootloader with S1tool, and suddenly phone works correctly.
I don't know what and when I did a failure with the result of GSM failure. But problem is solved. So thanks to all who has tried to help.

do you unlocked bootloader?
Hello,
I have a problem, I have do a backup but not all the partition before on MIUI.eu ( I realize that now, when I touch restore, I seen only five or 6 things...) , I was at one moment on Orion OS that could change maybe Something, but now on CM13 official when I launched adb to have informations about unlock : result :
but I haven't unlock yet...
So please someone could said to me what I need to do ?
Perhaps your device came to you (like both mine) with the bootloader already unlocked.
I'm on Cm13... And I haven't re unlocked bootloader...
I think I don't understand your issue. Your bootloader is unlocked. What do you want to do? What do you need help with?
CM13 relock bootloader so normally my bootloader is locked...
Official CM13 does not relock bootloader. Your bootloader is NOT locked. "Device UNLOCKED: TRUE".
I'have ask the question and someone Saïd to me official lock...
Mate, if your English is very poor, try to use Google Translate and use full sentences and describe your problem. I simply don't understand. Your bootloader is unlocked. Period.
