I have searched the last fiew weeks on the internet for an free unlock method. But i haven't found anything working. Then i asked in a phone shop if they would do it. They told me that they had found something here on this website. So i searched here on xda. But i've foun nothng working on X10 with stock ROM 2.3.3 or other ROMs... So if anyone could help me and solve my probleme. If there is no other way I will unlock it in a phone shop for about 35€... I think it's too much, but i'm not sure if this internet - shops are serious....
I know my english is bad but i hope you were able to read my Questions.
thanks, Meikl96
well there used to be one but it turned out to be a scam i think. the thread was closed because nothing was going on with it
Oh...
That means there are no methods to unlock the x10 for free?

hello today its a sad day for me because when i was enjoying the most my x10 mini it started to go crzy with the touch screen as i expose in this thread forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19835631#post19835631 but it seems it must be a rare problem because no one can give me the right solution... that's why i decided to restore my phone to stock as it can be done with companion,i think, but i don't want nobody can see i rooted it nor i unlocked bootloader because i still can send it to repair it for free as i have been only 10 months with it,and i heard if they see its rooted or unlocked bootloader they won't repair it.
so im asking here if you please could tell me all i need to restore it to stock,like unroot,relock bootloader, things to be deleted,all that stuff...
please help me as you have been doing all this time
i was surprised nobody helped me but it shouldnt be an easy problem... however i could solve it,now my phone is unroot,relocked bootloader and stock rom so if my touch screen persists I can send it to repair... I expended the whole day looking for threads to do all the stuff and finally i could solve it. if anyone need help to restore his mini say here and i will tell my experience.
Hi guys.
Totally Noob here.
First of all, i admire to helping ppl here, and many smart and genious hard working gys!
I flashed my x10i (i can swear, it was x10i !!) to 2.3.3, baseband ver.2.1.71,all was ok, till i spoted the phone converted to x10a(!?).
Also i have noticed some gray spot on my pictures, i suppose it's a software problem, what do you think?
And my music getting glitchy while playing on, if moving the phone. All the rest working great:silly:
So., i would like to downgrade to previuos firmware (cant find a healthy mirror link, so if someone could help, i'd appreciate it), but dont remember was it 2.1 or 2.2(
So what do you suggest in my case plz?
p.s.
the phone is still sim locked, is there some software solution here to unlock, cuz cant unlock by code.
thx for all answers!
Hi, maybe ya messed during flashing your rom. If rooted, try check ya buiklprop, see is there any line mentioning "x10a", try change it into "x10i" and reboot phone. Ur rom is official updated or custom? 2.3.3GB music player is wellknown buggy non smooth. Only can be solved if using other music player that supported. And about the link for 2.1 here from MY BUDDY'S thelogic hope helps

no free solution for unlocking your sim.
Also the camera works perfectly in 2.3.3
either reflash the 2.3.3 rom using flashtool or repair using PCC or SEUS.
If music still is glitchy, use some stock based custom roms
Hello, i really need your help to fix my x10 mini.So lets start...Yesterday i wanted to upgrade my x10 to android 2.2. Everything was going well , i rooted the phone, then i bootloaded the phone.But after bootloading there were no service. So i tried to run again flashtool and going to to flash mode (you know, when you need to turn off the phone and hold "back" key while plugging usb cable) and yeah in the middle of the flashtool process i pluged out usb cable and (while green led was still on) i pulled out memory card(don't understand why really -_-). So after pulling out sd card green led just turned off and thats it, phone died! i couldnt turn it on, when i charge nothing happends, when i plug in to pc nothing happends, and few times i tried to detect it with s1tool and restore but even when plug in usb cable while holding "back" key but nothing happends even if i wait holding "back" key for 10min.I dont know what to do my x10 mini just died with absolutely no signs of life.Please, I would be very grateful for your help.By the way i have old school x10 mini (not pro) so i cant take out battery
P.S. sorry for my bad english
If you can't get into flashmode you are going to have it JTagged at a repair shop.
And FYI: You should have relocked the bootloader with S1Tool as soon as you found out you didn't have a signal.
Secondly: Do NOT ever interrupt the flashingprocess...
I guess you'll have to pay for it to get back up and working.

how much do you think it will cost? anyway if i repair it should i try to upgrade again to android 2.2 or 2.3? because being stuck with android 2.1 is bull****, but after this i dont think i want to take that risk again.And im 100% sure after bootloading phone will have no service again and the only way to fix signal is relock with s1tool right? so would it be possible that after bootload i would upgrade to 2.2 and then use s1tool to relock bootloader and i would have service again? would it be possible? And again sorry for my bad english

You can actually upgrade to 2.2 custom rom without unlocking your bootloader. Only if the ROM you choose needs a custom kernel do you need to unlock the bootloader.
And once you've flashed a custom kernel you can't relock the bootloader, that will brick your phone again. Relocking the bootloader can only be done if you're running an original SE kernel.

I have no idea what it costs to repair your phone, never had to do that myself, and even if i had, it will be different from where I am to where you are (probably). As for upgrading: You set out to update your phone to android 2.2 so did you not already choose a ROM to put on your phone? All 2.2 ROMS run on the stock kernel. Look for CM6 ROMs in the x10mini development section (although most download links will be dead by now).
Or look for MiniCM7, you can still get the 2.0.7 version, which runs on stock kernel, from 2.1.0 it needs the nAa custom kernel (just click on the downloads link in the MiniCM7 posts and it will take you to the repository where you can download older versions of that ROM).
There is not much else available for stock kernel on the x10mini unfortunately, although pongnamu is working on a MIUI gingerbread version for stock It's just not available yet.
If anyone cares i tell you what heppend in last couple days.Well first of all i decided to buy new phone instead of fixing old one.I bought lg optimus l7.So anyway today i dont know why but i took my x10 mini to repair shop and i i found out that fixing x10 mini brick is cheap only 30LTL(about 11.5$ ).But i think its so cheap only in my country , if you live in USA ,UK or in any other country it may cost few times more(I dont know that for sure ) and if you send your phone to SE the price may be insane compare to mine.My advice to others who want to upgrade their phones OS, DONT DO THAT BY YOURSELF IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! And actualy x10 mini is kinda outdated so if you want to upgrade OS for only playing newest games and newest apps ,x10 mini wont run them propertly so if you want only to play games and use best apps you should buy a new phone.
P.S. and again sorry for my terrible english

Thank you for the update. It is always interesting to hear about solutions.
And I agree with you, that users should be careful doing things they do not understand.
I always recomend users to read a guide 3 times before they start doing anything, make sure they know what every step is about and why it must be done.
And most important is to make sure what phone model they got, and make sure that ROM/Kernel is made for that model. :good:
Hope users can learn from your expierence. We should have done more to warn about "what not to do" and stuff like that :angel:

Just got my U20i back from jtagging (didn't have no repair shop at hand,so I had to send it in to a shop), I payed 30€ in Germany (would be somewhat about $40), plus shipping.
Next time I send it to your repair shop, seems to be cheaper even with double shipping costs :laugh:
I thought so ,in Lithuania stuff like that is really cheap if you compare to Germany,UK,USA etc.
My appologies, wrong place to post. Posting it on the right section now.
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a way to unlock the bootloader of my Xperia Play R800at. Wotan server wont work since my phone was manufactures after 12W11. Alejandrissimo wont answer me again (answered me once, and I didnt get back quickly), maybe he's busy.
Anyway, the bootloader status isnt showing.
Searched all over, but couldnt find any clear method to do it beside the previous two.
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated, I cant stant anymore the stock kernel and rom.
Thanks in advance.
I don't want to root (if that even solves the problem) to use this tablet.
I tried all the options from weeks now...actually more than 1 month.
called LG , Google and t mobile....no help
Very frustrated please help or guide me to the right direction
if not just say it ...it's bricked and i can go on with my life.
Friend don't know the email used to sign in previously.
Thank you for reading !
You ever fix the issue? I can probably be of assistance because I've bypassed frp on a ton of different devices and could use the stock firmware for an issue I'm having with my own V530 as well.
Seems there is absolutely NO development, TWRP.CWM/Philz recovery, custom ROMs, or even the stock firmware online and I've searched for 3 solid weeks now for anything that would fix the issue were experiencing with this cursed tablet lol
i was but i paid for it -_-
if you do find THE solution , will you post it here on this thread for future reference ?
