Hey guys.
Two days ago i have flashed back my SK17i to stock rom.
I updated from FOTA.
I didn't know i must relock bootloader before updating from FOTA, so i bricked my phone.
After 2 minutes of deep panic, i've flashed the relock .ftf file, but it won't work on phones unlocked with test point.
So, i found a way to relock bootloader and go back to stock. (On forums i didn't see any guide regarding the method to relock bootloaders unlocked by test point)
I've done in this way:
1) Flashed stock kernel
2) Flash the .ftf relock file
3) With S1Tool hit restore
The phone is now bootloader locked, without losing of DRM!

Did you tried to download the latest version of flashtool?
Also, try to re-download the ftf file from another mirror, you should able to relock bootloader.

brov dont really understand dis, please break it down a little bit!
I just registered to confirm this method works. I foolishly allowed a FOTA yesterday and bricked my phone. It was unlocked via testpoint so the relock method didn't work, even though I tried it! I also tried flashing with S1tool with generic firmware and that didn't work. Then just out of curiousity/desperation I clicked on the RESTORE button in S1 and my phone actually started but was now locked again. I re-did the testpoint unlock this morning so now my phones fully updates and working with my SIM of choice.
I don't know if you need to do all the flashing as it may just be the RESTORE that does the trick. I definitely won't be allowing any OTA from now on. Lesson learned!
Just to confirm, so long as I do the update via PCCompanion or SEUS software I wont need to do all this?
Files to download please?

If you unlocked your bootloader with test point, no need to flash anything, just press restore button in s1tool.
anyone tried this method to relock the bootloader which unlocked by test point method and still have the sim/network unlock

I forgot to relock and it did brick but following the UNBRICKING thread i got it back working. RELOCK bootloader then update then UNLOCK and REROOT all works fine now of course after root probably best to relock bootloader anyway just incase.

Yeah, flashtool. Haha.
So I relocked my bootoader, and now I want to unlock it again, it fail. I even tried to just use fastboot commands to boot into recovery and it comes back as
failed phone must be rooted." I did use flashtool to reflash back to stock r800x firmware 2.3.2 I dont know what it s going on. I have flashed my phone before and unlocked the bootloader but now it wont.
I relocked my bootlaoder to ota to 2.3.3. but decided to go back to 2.3.2. for the time being.
Any ideas why this is happening?
tried to unlock the bootloader and it fails everytime. Using fastboot commands for recoveryPLAY comes back with a "phone must be rooted" line.
Hey guys, i cant root my phone.
I just now reflashed my phone with FlashTool into 4.0.2.A.0.62 kernel 2.6.32.9.

You can't root on fw .62! You must flash back to .42 (use wotanserver) and then root. After that, update your phone by OTA (on the air update) to .62!
Completely untrue. You can root - read the posts.
In a nutshell, because posters fail to bother to read everything:
Copy Rootxperia.zip to the SD card
Factory reset (don't format the SD card)
Use flashtool or Wotan to install your version of 0.62
Use fastboot to BOOT (not flash) recoveryNeo.img
When CWM boots, install Rootxperia.zip
Done
(CWM in this instance is hot booted, not "installed")

This method works only with unlocked bootloader. By unlocking bootloader you loose warranty and some phones has no unlockable bootloader.
The OP has an unlocked bootloader... according to previous posts. My response reflects that.
Unlocking BL MAY affect your warranty... in practice highly unlikely.
Phones that cannot be unlocked are likely carrier locked which is a whole new moral ballgame. The desire to mess with these is dubious at best. Users intending to modify their phones should have unlocked carrier-free phones.
My phone carrier unlocked, but bootloader no

Also, if you be carefull and no scarry, unlock bootloader by tespin method (use link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409269 ), then root (use link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431033 ) and be sure to lock bootloader after that!

Well, you see, I wouldn't agree with you
You know someone who did that?
OTA update brick phones with officially unlocked BL. Since the ones unlocked via test point can use all official tools(PCC, SEUS) I believe they can also use OTA, since their BL's are patched.
Also, how can you accidentally update it?

With officaly unlocked bootloader OTA update not possible!
Some customers with unlocked boot loaders have experienced problems when they are accepting over the air upgrades (FOTA - Firmware upgrade Over The Air). For customers that have unlocked the boot loader, please do not accept any over the air upgrades. For additional information, check out the hints and tips from the community on the XDA forum.

Yes, that is official statement for BL unlocked via official way. Since those phones can't use SEUS or PCC because those programs can realize someone messed with OS, but FOTA is dumb and can't realize that, so she still try that's when Mr. brick comes into town
Unofficially unlocked BL's can use SEUS and PCC so I believe they can also use FOTA. All brick's came from officially unlocked phones. I haven't heard any case where it happen with unofficially unlocked BL.
If you show me one example they I will change my way of thinking
Ok guys, i tried flash kernel .42 (ftf) but my phone still .62

By my opinoin the easiest way is to unlock the boot loader and then you can do what ever you want..otherwise I would recommand wotan..
everything is possible, almost then, but indeed you cant root 62, but if you downgrade to 42 do this: tick only wiping data & cache with flashtool, restart your phone and then you are on 42 not so hard to do it if you on unlocked bl, but i think thats already explained sorry for that then, but it must work i try it many times on my own phone and lock and unlock my bl to several times, so good luck with it.

Hi guys,
I'm glad to post in this forum because I'm very interested in modding and custom for smartphones BUT... I want to ask you some questions about my bad adventured encoured yesterday:
1) Fresh Sk17i with .62 stock firmware
2) Unlocked bootloader with test-pointer method (success)
3) Downgraded firmware to .58 stock firmware with S1tool WITHOUT wipe cache and partition (success)
4) Rooted with Doomslord (success), at this point I will able to see "Superuser" icon in menu
5) Installed Xperia CWM Auto-Installer with granted root (success)
6) Executed OTA upgrade to .62 stock with SE autoupdate...
Phone downloaded firmware and, at next reboot, it shows an opened box with 4 squares.
Phone shut down and never boot again. I was in panic!
Now, afraid to recycle the phone, I've executed these steps:
1) Trying to power up phone nothing appears on screen, only a tactile feedback with power button down
2) Green status LED blink for several times, tried to remove and reinsert battery no effects
3) Putting the smartphone in Download mode, Sony Companion Suite will recognize it but as "Generic smartphone" and I cannot do anything (no repair or firmware upload)
4) Re-tried to flash .58 stock firmware with S1tool, upload success but issue persist
5) Downloaded WotanServer and uploaded .62 Italian HOLY GOD IT WORK!
Now, I've two simple questions:
- What's wrong with the steps listed?
- I've losed the bootloader unlock with flashing more times firmwares? (Service mode will always display me Bootloader Unlock Allowed: YES)
Thank you very much guys

For test-point method unlock for restore bootloader you only need to hit "RESTORE" in s1tool and all will work.

Are you sure that you have installed correct drivers for your smartphone?
Check in Windows Device Manager if you have any type of conflict...
So,I've rooted and unlock its bootloader for a long time.I also install my phone ClockWorkMod Recovery and etc. other root stuff (My android is 2.3.4 .58 Firmware)
So,today I thought I will finally relock my bootloader as my phone will receive a new ICS official from Sony Ericsson anytime from now until end of June,so I download a relock bootloader ftf file (I've searched it in the internet,and download the right file).After I flashed it (I've enabled USB debugging before shut down my phone and I also sure my phone is in flash mode during flash),my phone WON'T boot up...I don't know what happen,so I'm currently fixing it by using WotanServer,and it downloading in progress now (My x10 Mini Pro bricked 5 times,and I fix it 5 times by myself without whining )
So,I wanna ask you guys :
Why my phone won't boot up?Although the bootloader is locked by Flashtool,but it won't boot up I've stock FIRMWARE and stock KERNEL in my phone...never modified it,only root,unlock its bootloader and flash CWM in it...
Thanks for reading I hope you can answer my question

Uhm, since WotanServer installs also stock kernel back...doesn't it require unlocked bootloader?
I am not sure, but that would make sense with all other kernel installations also.
Unlock bootloader, install firmware and kernel with WotanServer again, boot and relock bootloader.

I know, the point is that it's not necessary for flashing stock kernel bootloader to be unlocked.I think it's pretty obvious, if it didn't update with locked bootloader then sony would have to force users to unlock bootloader or give unlocked phones or never update kernel.
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.

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.
Regards Odiad

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.
