Hi, so first i'd like to express my thanks for the whole xda community, helped me before and hopefully it will help me again.
I recently got Xperia X10i from a relative for free but it's locked in Orange, France.
I live in another country and as such will need to use a different network. After scooping around, searching the xda forum high and low on how to unlock it I came up empty handed so to say.
Now the question is can sim unlock be done on this phone (will post full details lower) free or under a fiver? Since i got it for free and I already have a phone I use I'm not willing to pay more to unlock it, I'd rather sell it dirt cheap or something. Please not I am also willing to test almost anything with it since it won't bother me much if it breaks.
Details on the phone and what I did with it so far:
Relevant text behind battery:
Sony Ericsson X10i
Type: AAAB
FCC ID: CB5
IC: 4170B-A3880056 10W19
SI: 1232-4310
Imei: 359419036396884
Tests I did so far:
It had android 1.6, so i updated it first using pc compannion to 2.3 > worked
After that rooted it using flashtool 0.7 > worked
Tried unlocking bootloaed with same version > error (seems it's a software error in this latest version)
Downgraded to a generic 2.1 using flashtool 0.6.9 > worked
Rooted again with flashtool > worked
Using the BL unlock plugin i get a WARN CANC error
Using the S1 tool Identify i get the following:
Code:

In the service menu (which by the way was not accesible through the *#*# command on the phone but i accesed it through a apk here on xda installed through flashtool) under Service Info > Configuration the Rooting Status line is not present.
I remember reading somewhere in a youtube guide that some models of X10 can get sometimes sim unlocked when they are being bootloader unlocked.
Also i read somewhere that if the S1 tool shows RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A033" with a lower R then the bootloader is unlocked already?
I've been reading a bit about the setool2 utility and the test point things but that looks like hard short circuiting something and before doing that I'd like to make sure there is no other way.
If you need any other info i'll be happy to oblige and thanks for any helpful comment.
P.S. Forgot to mention a couple of things:
I never tried to install a full custom ROM but at some point I did install Doomlord's custom kernel with some recovery thing.
Also under Service Info > SIN lock > [x] Network 0
and the rest are with []
So ... can anyone offer a good advice? I've been reading up a bit and seems it can be sim unlocked even if it has 0 tries left with a paid software. Some opinions about which service offers most reliability and low cost?
yeah im too on t-mobile right now and want to unlock my sim, is there any chance to do that?
x10 unlock
any luck with the unlock process?
I have flashed my neo MT15_4.1.B.0.431_Global.ftf file.
And now it says emergency call only-No SIM card.
SIM has no problem in other phones.
What happened to it.
And it doesn't enter fastboot
Please help me
Problem !!!
I have the same problem now. Please someone help me!!!
I am so sad that I cannot find nobody here helps me...

that guy messed up using wotans unlock tool.
This sounds like a similar problem, but I have seen few people so far messed up their phones only by flashing clean ftf.
In latest(or at least in few latest version) flashtool version you can see
WARN - This file is ignored : simlock.ta
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
not sure if that file was flashed before or not, but it sure didn't give you warning.
One guy bricked his Xperia S messing with .ta file, and that's why falshtool guys made this ignore, which is why I think in before version it was flashed.
.62 and .562 have same simlock.ta file, while the one from .431 differs. hm, but then again .42 also have different file. *
Maybe I'm talking sh*t but I bet my ass that those who have this problem used older version of flashtool.
Also those people who got this problem also get changed root status in service menu, those who had yes, now they have no.
EDIT: here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26761620&postcount=140 I see OP used 0.8 flashtool, so my theory doesn't flow don't know what could be wrong here..
EDIT2: looks that I can only find users with Neo which have this problem
EDIT3:* hm ok, .62 and .562 are for same region, while .431 and .42 are for different regions. Lol, with each edit, I'm loosing my theory but interesting to research

Ok sorry, but you are going to need to have spend to fix it. If your ok with the test point method, you can use omnius server or pm jinx13, who can replace it remotely.
Cost is around €15.
If you use omnius server select the repair S1boot option, it will remove simlock and restore fastboot

During all of the processes, I never used test point. Software (S1tool, FOTA unbrick flasher etc) never wanted me to use test point.I only pressed back and connected USB.
Can you explain in which step I should use Test Point?
What I did:
-I was on Gingerbread.
-My bootloader was unlocked
-Pc system settings were TURKISH
-I flashed the phone using flashtool.I flashed "MT15i_4.1.B.0.431.ftf" file.
-In flashing screen, there was only simlock.ta
(I was beginner on flashing, ı didn't know that ı should change pc language to English)
-I flashed the phone.
-Phone booted with my old Gingerbread(Not ICS)
-I found that my phone says "NO SIM-EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY"
-I ve tried so many Sım Cards(All of them have same problem)
(I am sure phone has no Hardware problem.I dedects sim but something blocks it)
-I made restore using S1tool
-I flashed generic GB
-I made official ICS update via SUS
But no solution.My phone has the same error.
And also bootloader unlock allowed: NO
PS:When I try to flash all of the ftf files, during flashing process, I see:
warn the file is ignored simlock.ta
It flashes all of the other components.But doesn't simlock.ta files.
I hope you will help me.Because I need my phone...

What is the difference between;
*repair S1boot
*unlock bootloader
Repair puts back to how it was.
Unlock unlocks, but doesn't touch sim lock, therefore restoring should remove any changes you've made.
For sim lock you need omnius or setool and Card so it's s paid service.
Can I ask how did you unlock in the first place, as only a few have been locked by flashing 404, trying to find a link

I dialed *#*#7378423#*#*
Then ı saw. "bootlader unlock allowed: YES "
Then ı unlocked it via official method http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
After that, it was unlocked.I was able to enter fastboot, install kernels etc...
But now my problem is, ı have so many options.Iwill buy credit from omnius, thats OK.
* Should I unlock bootlader?
* Should I unlock SIM?
* Should I repair S1 boot?
My phone always says no-sım
And bootloader unlock allowed "no"
Many people are saying that, ıf you unlock bootloader, you will unlock sim lock too.
Is this true???

Ok. You are right. But it is still risky for me.
I don't want to waste my 15 €, that is why I am always asking questions to make sure about it.
At that point, I want to ask : It will repair my boot.But how? How does it know my bootloader and simlock status before it used to be?
So... I'm on a st15i, locked bootloader, and I decided to unlock it.
Test point method sounded perfect.

From what i see in that screen shot, it looks like you have successfully unlocked your bootloader. Otherwise in service menu, it would say "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"

Hmmm... No. Wrong. There's really no way to know if you successfully got bootloader unlocked by test point method, other than to try flashing a kernel.
If unlocking is done by Official Sony method, it says the
Code:
Rooting Status:
Boot Loader Unlocked: Yes
If unlocking is done via test point method it says:
Code:
Rooting Status:
Boot Loader Unlocked allowed: Yes
...just as it stated before the attempt to unlock.
And if bootloader is not unlocked, but possible, it still says:
Code:
Rooting Status:
Boot Loader Unlocked allowed: Yes
This is because, test point method is not actual bootloader unlocking, and it's like a patch.
@feanor: Try to do a repair using PCC. If it says that you are using a modified software, then yipee, your bootloader is unlocked. If it starts the repair process, then cancel the repair process (Oops, my bootloader is still locked :-|).
As the next step, you can try the test point method again, but if you are afraid, then head on to Sony Official website and do it the official way.
Thanks,
Rick
One last question: what happens if I just try to flash a custom kernel and my bootloader is locked? Does the process just fail, or do I brick my phone?

That should be a brick. Though I am not sure. You would rather test if your bootloader is unlocked by trying to repair using PCC. It's better, right? Less amount of risk involved.
Oh no. Wait a second. It flashed to me now. You can not really test that way. As the repair will occur without fail if your bootloader is unlocked via test point method. :-|.
I really have no idea now, as to how to test if bootloader is successfully unlcoked when attempted via test point method.
Perhaps someguyfromhell help? Lets wait and see.

I suppose my phone can't be unlocked at all via test point... maybe it's because I have THIS phone........
Sorry for digging this topic, but I face the exact same problem in my LWW.
It said (and still says) "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes", don't know why couldn't S1Tool unlock it, though.
Months ago, when I purchased the phone, I unlocked network via FastGSM (using test-point too):
Youtube v=FgYAZoqsk9E (sorry, can't post links)
When I first connected the USB cable while holding test-point, my PC didn't even asked for drivers, guess Fast GSM software uses the same and installed them when I unlocked network.
Thanks in advance!

Anyways, forget about my post. With further research I came to the conclusion that that message on s1tool means that my bootloader is actually "unlocked", and that's due to FastGSM test-point unlocking.
Take a look at this thread (post #4 onwards). So, "test-point" bootloader unlocking in fact is not an "unlock" per se but rather a "patching" to the BL. So that also explains why my phone didn't get bricked when I updated to ICS 4.0.4 via PC Companion.
If you would take my suggestion, you could add in your FAQ topic this little piece of information so that users who had unlocked their phones' network via FastGSM or Wottan, don't need to worry about BL.
I've already flashed Krsh kernel and everything went without any itches. Great!
Thanks a lot for your help and your tutorials!:good:
PS: I couldn't also find a "flash.cmd" file anywhere as you mention on the "Flash kernel" section of your FAQ thread, so I just executed the commands as mentioned in Cyanogenmod's Wiki page for LWW:
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0xfce reboot

Yea, I'm tired so I missed it.
The 2nd command is not needed, the first one can also be just "fastboot flash boot boot.img". And this flash.cmd is only, if you use my Kernel Installation Package(which currently is not available, got some problems).

hey guys, hope anyone can help me with this problem...
my phone is X10 and it was locked to 3 sweden ... i unlocked it using ominus. it worked very good for like 3 weeks. after that i wanted to instal a rom but it requires me to unlock the bootloader.. i did that using x10_bootloader_unlock_011 program. ( i forget where i downloaded it) . then after that i installed the rom succesfuly and it worked fine... now i dont get network and my phone doesnt read my sim card!!
when i remove the sim card from the phone, it says on the lockscreen that there is no sim card inserted. but when my sim card inside the phone it doesnt say that on the lockscreen.. i changed the baseband on my phone to 2 deffrent basebands and it still the same problem.. i put my sim card in another phone and it works fine but when i insert any other sim in my x10 its still says the same thing and it doesnt change anything..
any help plz??
thanks

Try going back to stock ROM without root.... if you sim unlocked the phone then you should have the code.. use the same code and it might unlock.... I unlocked my phone by calling my service provider and asking them(AT&T, USA) .. they unlock phone after 3 months of use.... so try calling your service provider also...

thanks for your replay. I didnt unlocked the phone using code. And it doesnt ask me anywhere to enter any unlock code so i dont think i would need to call my service network to help me in anything. And i did also back to stock rom ( 2.3 ) and i still have the problem!!

So you unlocked sim or unlocked bootloader ? If its sim unlock then Call your service provider and ask for unlock code if the phone is older than 3 months.. they will give you some numbers... if you get and if you enter them you should be good to go... if its not unlocked then this problems, should not come in the first place...

did you check if your bootloader is unlockable by using s1tool before trying to do so.

I think thats the problem
You network unlocked your phone using omnius so if you unlock your bootloader you lose your network .
As far as i know you need to re unlock your network using setool and then try to unlock your bootloader

No the problem in reality is this:
You can only unlock your bootloader successfully if your phone is network unlocked from company or network unlocked from setool. If you try to unlock your bootloader if either of above conditions aren't met, you lose your network .
S1tool just shows your sim certificate. If it is semc or setool sim certificate you can unlock bootloader without problem. But as u see your sim certificate is not that so you lost network.
The solution is to re lock bootloader using flashtool.
Re unlock your network using setool ( i reallly dont know how ) .
Then try unlocking bootloader.
This is what i have heard.

According to ya pic, You have lost ya baseband. Flash 2.1.71 for your 2.3.3 ROM. Baseband affects radio receiver and gsm including mobile signal transmission. And if ya didnt update ya phone officially, baseband 2.1.54 willbe unusable in 2.3.3 and above. 2.1.71 baseband
Or i have 3.0.1.G.0.75 kernel+baseband (which is 2.1.71) ftf link for locked bootloader under my signature newcomer link download thefile, try relock ya bootloader, flash the ftf. And using stock rom to unlock bootloader once again. Ya prob should be solved. Hope helps

Hi!
I use flashtool for flashing my SE x10i
When i wanted to flash a new firmware, i clicked on BLRelock.ftf by mistake....... Since than i haven't got radio capability. When I turn it on, it says "Please insert a sim card". If it matters my phone was debranding....
I tried lots of method, but I always failed.
Please somebody help ASAP.!
Thank you the answers in advance :'(
Hey there, i have this same issue, except my x10i kps rebooting or just freezes up whilst dn sumin with it, eg, running apps. I received phone frm my boet, we bth have no knowledge as to what had hapnd to the phone, bt suspect water damage, because if i take the cover off the bk, those pink dots on the white paper that shows that there has bn water intrusion, well at least thats what i think it myt be. I have 4 batteries, bt none undr a 2.5yr and oldest 2008, thats 5 years old. Bt sumin also tells me i shd try to purchase a new battery. No matr what sim i pt in it wont register. Bt look, i received it dead as a doornail, and nw it runs bt cnt kp running stable. I too used flashtool, i pt phone in debug n unknwn sources. It seems to lock up while this debug nw runs. i have rooted, im nt sure whether i did succesful recovery, i upgraded from 2.1 to 3 havn to flash several times. Because it freezes or restarts so i end up with no choices i cn think abt. If the debug runs successfully whats next? Turn it off and then? I just aint getn nowhere? I thought maybe phne puln too much power frm batries, bt it even reboots, restarts or freezes when on a normal ericson charger, or with laptop usb cable attached. I dnt knw what to do? Bt im gna have a onceover again, maybe i misd sumin bt that radio part, i hardly knw how these things work, bt im all ears to any ideas. Thanx in advance

I had a similar problem. I wanted to lock the bootloader and i've clicked restore in s1tool. After relock bootloader my SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE changed to SETOOL2 SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE. I do not know why. Phone died. I try different things. Once again i've unlock the bootloader using qsd8250_setool2.cmd file. After that, my X10 alive.
Like epulrevo says, first check phone by s1tool. I bet that you will have SETOOL2 SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE.

Unlock bootloader, because your bootloader is relock improperly.

Can you write down how can I do that? And which program do you recommend? Just because all of my trying failed I tried to do it with flashtool and s1tool too.
I wanted to ask, with the debranding files available which wd i choose for South Africa cause i still have this problem. Kp getn your simcard does nt allow connections to this network? And the sim will pick up 4 networks i cn chose from, bt when i chose appropriate network thats the message i get. And the signal bar has a red x above it. I cn still use the phone for data via wifi bt its a phone also made for calls? Also another thing i lost my mem card with my xRecovery on it, the FT icon for recovery remains faded, cn i make another recovery? When i let FT reboot to recovery then it will either nt boot unless i remove the batry or it will basically just reboot bk to android, bypassing the recovery boot, it did work when i had my other mem card... hope im nt imposing here with that q. Thanks for any advice in advance.
