Hi, i've tried two ways to unlock bootloader, by Flashtool and Xrecovery.
With flashtool I didn't get the message "Successfully applied unlock" but the phone rebooted anyway.
I triede pressing several times, the back button when the sonnyericson letters appear, tried always pressing and nothing.
Can anyone help me.
I can supply the flashtool log if necessary.
Thx
Anyone??? Do I have to do it all over again? What's the best way to re-do it?

The exact problem is I can't acess the bootlooder, when the phone is restarting.
I tried by both metod's: flashtool and xrecovery.

you mean you cannot access the x-recovery right..?? try the tool in my signature n install the CWM recovery from it.. After installing CWM recovery with the tool reboot your phone.. press the back button when sony ericsson logo comes and your done.. you can now flash Custom ROM's with CWM recovery..
Also, double check which baseband you have. It should end in x015 (x being the rest of the number). If not then you'll need to flash to the correct version. My minipro wouldnt enter xrecovery/cwm until it had been flashed to it, like you the backbutton did nothing and I couldnt find a solution for a few days.
My phone came shipped with android 1.6 and previous baseband. If you look around the forum for basebands you should be able to find it. Flash with flashtool.

Having the problem it iscoolbutton.ocx, tried the fix and still the sameproblem. My baseband ends in 15. When I run the Flashtool it gives this message:

And then phone restarts. Any ideas?
I've done it. Installed the E10_nAa-10_2.6.29.6-nAa-10 kernell and worked. Now the problem is does detect my SD Card.
Nothing that a Format to my SD card didn't solve.

I found the solution for my problem, I hope it helps somebody else.
steps:
1. download Flashtool-0.5.0.0beta (ask me if you want a link)
2. download s1tools (version doesn't matter)
3. install flashtool, and restart your computer (don't install gordon's gate yet0
4. plug in your turned on x10 mini(it needs to be in usb debug mode as well)
5. wait for flashtool to recognize it
6. on the menu click on plugins,unlock boot loader(or something similar),run
7.you will get some response like this:
Root Access Allowed
INFO - Searching Xperia....
ERROR - Please plug you device in flash mode
you will get it multiple times, even a popup window indicating how to put your phone in flash mode.
8. unplug your phone and turn it off
9. now go to the directory where you installed falsh tool,drivers folder, and install gg(gg setupxxxx.exe)
10. now connect your device in flash mode(turned off, connect to pc while you hold the back button)
11. your phone will restart a couple times, just wait.
12. in my case the process ended when it rebooted in recovery mode(i had cwm recovery put in already),I manually rebooted, and voila !!!
BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED !!!!
13. run s1 tool and double check, you know, the cap letter and stuff, it shouldn't be cap anymore

Hi all
These are the facts. First I updated my android 2.1 to 2.3.3 sucessfully. however it didn't have root access.
So, I tried to root my Xperia X10 following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196421&page=1. Where the FlashTool is used. I was following all the steps mentiond, but in the Step 9 it failed :-S
Step 8: Power on device, after vibration connect usb cable.
Step 9: Wait till you see any info in FlashTool, then click root.
Now, every time I turn on my Xperia X10, it just showed "Sony Ericsson" text and nothing happen :-(
Please any comment on how to recover my cell phone would be very appraciate.
Thanks in advance

Hello, seems like you haven't got the necessary drivers for flash mode
I just rooted (ten minutes ago) using aZuZu's root method, i screwed up once, then tried it again, it worked.
Just wait for text to appear or for the pc to initialise the drivers for the device.
If still no reaction from flashtool, download pc companion or update service, they would have the necessary drivers in order to flash.
Good luck.
Hi.
thanks for your response. I finally achieve to restore my Xperia X10 The thing I did was:
1.- In FlashTool, click 'Advanced' in the menu bar
2.- Select 'Root.'
3.- Choose 'Force psneuter.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16771173&postcount=178
Then I reflash my phone and the android 2.3 was intalled sucessfully again
I hope this help other people that are facing the same problem
You failed to install the kernel downgrade and upgrade and to put your phone into debug mode.

U using a method that is very old. Download new flashtool (above 0.3 I believe and use root there (it called zergrush exploit) u must do this from 2.3.3 not kernel up/down it much easier. One button root
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yep - zergrush is the simplest way, and also could be applied without pc
I'm a complete noob, all i ever did was flashing a ROM, so please don't shoot me...
So i started by reflashing 2.3.3 stock firmware. I downloaded flashtool and installed it on my pc (0.7.1.0). I rooted the phone and installed xRecovery. So now i wanted to unlock my bootloader to flash FeraLab 17.
I installed the s1 tool to check if my phone is good to be unlocked, and it says it's fine. And now i go back to flashtool to start the unlocking: plugins> bootloader unlock> run.
So all is fine till i get to this point. When i unplug my phone and power it off and then press the back button and plug it back in it says the following:

I have the same problem KingRafox. And i've tried several method including the link posted above.
Please make sure you have enabled usb-debugging in your current rom before starting with this!!
flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool
disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)
start the batch file for unlocking bootloader, cause it says press any button before it starts, it won't start unlocking until you press any button
now wait until flashtool recognizes your x10 (if flashtool doesn't do anything, check third post please! thx)
close flashtool and then press any button in the cmd window that the unlocking process starts (please close flashtool, instead the bl unlock cmd and flashtool are constantly killing and restarting adb!!) <--- failed!!
after unlocking is finish you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade
now power on phone to check if the phone is starting after the unlock (if you are using a custom kernel yet with the bypass method and get stuck in a bootloop enter xrecovery and clear dalvik-cache, then your phone should boot up again fine)
power off phone and flash dooms ck v05-fs with flashtool
now flash the wifi modules for dooms ck with recovery. (atm the update.zips are for xrec, but for sure please always check dooms kernel-thread if there is anything changed)
power on phone again and if everything is right, read the line under that one
WOOOHOOO!!! Here you are with unlocked bootloader, custom kernel directly loaded AND without reflashing any rom, means you have kept your current installation
If you aren't seeing the se logo at turning on phone, but directly the custom kernel logo, you were succesfully. If you want to enter xrecovery you have to spam the back button now if the xperia logo appears instead of the se logo.

I've followed these instruction but it failed when running the unlock file (qsd8250_semc.cmd). It says that it failed to get root access or something. (I'll post the log later on).
I also flashed to stock 2.1, downgrade the kernel and tried using x10 Bootloader Unlock Tool (with the big "Unlock Bootloader" button). But failed.
If anyone have any other methods or any suggestion, i'm all open.
Thanks for replying.
Guys,
I've finally unlocked my bootloader using "The proper method".
The mistake (i think) was, I was on generic 2.3.3 when I use this method.
I flashed back to generic 2.1 and ran the unlock tool. When finished I check back with S1tool, my device show "r" and not "R" Yeaa...
Note that, I failed to unlock my bootloader when I was on 2.1 and 2.3.3 using latest Flashtool.
Thanks guys.
Guys,
I encountered the same situation when I using the least version of Flashtool (0.7.1.0), it always display - WARN - Cancelled
So I roll back to use Flashtool (v0.6.8.0) then plugins> bootloader unlock> run, it works
i'm using FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec, flash without any error. Try find it. .
Guys
Make sure your SEMC SIM LOCK status supported by doom kernel (forgot about status lock or unlock cause I tried only 1 times and get lucky)
from my expirence.. some many devices will be locked for the networks and it will give you EMERGENCY CALL and you OUT OF LUCK!

What the hell, I'm still having the same "disconnect" problem as in the original post.
Let me ask you all if I'm missing something here:
1) I have a new, Vodafone-locked X10 mini Pro.
2) I downloaded Flashtool latest
3) I used it to root the phone (ok, it worked)
4) I use the Plugin menu, then Unlock Bootloader, then you know the rest.
Am i missing something here?
Should I change kernel or install a recovery first?
If only every device was as easy as the SGS's...
Thanks guys

Thanks DJ.
I've managed to Unlock the bootloader still yesterday, i don't know why or how, but it worked.
The difference from my previous post is that I started the process with the phone already in flash mode, then reboot, then flash mode again, and then the Flashtool did everything (even saying Bootloader: UNROOTABLE)
My difficulty after that was to flash CWM. It's funny but that next step is not explained anywhere.
Are these the correct procedures?
Stock Phone > Flashtool:Root > Flashtool:Unlock Bootloader > CWM (???) > Flash Image > Flashtool:Kernel
It's strange why:
1) There is no CWM to flash from Flashtool
2) The kernel cannot be flashed from CWM
CWM recovery is built in to kernels like doomlords v6 multi recovery or FXP kernel. You will have to flash a CWM based kernel to get CWM recovery
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
There should be an install recovery button in ft which allows u to install cwm or xrecovery
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Or flashing KCernel v3, got CWM recovery and Xrecovery in one.

Hi guys - flashed my x10i a few times and have tried various roms via xrecovery install and all worked fine. I was trying another new rom yesterday and the battery fell out halfway through install. Not sure what has happened, but x10 now stuck on sony ericson boot screen and wont enter xrecovery (i think its not there tbh) and as its stuck on boot screen, I cant select debugging mode. Flash tool wont work as cant enter debugging and when i hook it up to sony service update, it just says newest firmware/software installed.
I have tried, and still trying, one click but that keeps hanging!
Help guys . . . please

Do you have the 2.3.3 firmware, perhaps you can flash that.

Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Perhaps Im not doing something right here, but i was under the impression that you had to be able to select 'allow external/third part software' and 'debugging' from x10's settings in order for the flash tool to do anything. As I cant access any of the x10's settings to turn these functions on, I cant use flash tool?
The only option available inside flash tool is 'flash' which has pre installed kernals from azuzu and when i select flash, it says the following:
flashing kernal.sin - flashing finished - now unplug device and power on - go to apps and select unknown sources and debugging.
Cant do anything as stuck on boot screen when powered on
In SEUS did you try the repair option? Try downloading and flashing a different kernel, I don't think you need debugging on to flash a kernel. Just don't plug phone in until it says to connect in flashmode
From my XPERIA X10S v8.2 on JaBKerneL @ 1.15ghz
Flashed with azuzu kernal to point where it asks for power on and unknown sources and still in boot mode.
Just realised that when i power on the phone and connet it to flash tools it doesnt recognise the x10 but does when in flash mode - odd.
checked and laest drivers installed on pc but replaced them and still the same.
I am completely stumped and at the end of my rope now
Cant understand why service update recognised x10 and says latest firmware installed but cant boot.
With custom Rom it's normal for it to say it's 'up to date' but then find the repair button and press it. Without using repair SEUS only checks for stock Rom updates, if non stock Rom installed just says up to date
From my XPERIA X10S v8.2 on JaBKerneL @ 1.15ghz
There doesnt appear to be a repair option after it has stated that it is running the latest software. There also doesnt seem to be an option prior too.
I really have had it now. Bringing a grown man to his knees!

Guys, no need to panic If you don't mind losing your data, as far as I can see you have flashtool installed, then:
1.- download the generic firmware for your phone (I'm sure you don't really wanna have you carrier branded crapware...errrrrrr..... firmware) you can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746, in case you get lost, just get it from here http://minus.com/mAla782XK/1f
2.- inside flashtool you'll find several folders, unrar your firmware (X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_1241-1846.ftf ) inside firmware folder, do not connect your phone yet
3.- run flashtool and click on "flash" icon, pick flashmode, then OK
4.- On the left side select your firmware and hit OK
5.- It will say "preparing files for flashing"
6.- A window giving you instruccions will pop up, just press and hold the back button on your phone, connect the USB cable (which is already connected to PC, of course ) and don't let go the button until you read flashtool started to flash
7.- wait 'till it finishes (praying will help........., well maybe not, but will keep you busy haha)
8.- It will only take a few minutes, the only moment it seems it's stucked is when is flashing "system" , don't worry, it takes a little longer that the other files.
9.- after is done, just unplug, turn it on and wait, don't forget first boot always takes a little longer too!!!!!!
10.- If you want to, use flashtool to root your phone and install xrecovery afterwards, that's it, brand new
Hope it helps and is clear enough, any question just ask, I'm usually here, either on home or phone
Sorted it. I downloaded an early version of flash tool (0.7.1.0) and put a stock .ftf in firmware file. flashed like a charm.

I tried to unlock bootloader following the guide on the developer section (actually, only the "guide" in the header, 1 step). I tried multiple times, and this always happen (attachment)

This seems to be the situation for the fxp 123 too.
--
As I'm a noob. I have no idea whether to flash the fxp 123 with our without bootloader. Anyhow.. as my question says.. I can't do ether.
odd,
i actually did the exact same thing and its fine here.
this is what your trying to do yes ?(below)
•flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool
•disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)
•start the batch file for unlocking bootloader, cause it says press any button before it starts, it won't start unlocking until you press any button
•now wait until flashtool recognizes your x10 (if flashtool doesn't do anything, check third post please! thx)
•close flashtool and then press any button in the cmd window that the unlocking process starts (please close flashtool, instead the bl unlock cmd and flashtool are constantly killing and restarting adb!!)
•after unlocking is finish you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade
•now power on phone to check if the phone is starting after the unlock (if you are using a custom kernel yet with the bypass method and get stuck in a bootloop enter xrecovery and clear dalvik-cache, then your phone should boot up again fine)
•power off phone and flash dooms ck v05-fs with flashtool
•now flash the wifi modules for dooms ck with recovery. (atm the update.zips are for xrec, but for sure please always check dooms kernel-thread if there is anything changed)
•power on phone again and if everything is right, read the line under that one
•WOOOHOOO!!! Here you are with unlocked bootloader, custom kernel directly loaded AND without reflashing any rom, means you have kept your current installation
a.have you tried checking the S1Tool to see if you can unlock ive seen people saying its just not an option.
b. what are you choosing to flash ? i actually selected kernel straight away on the downgrade part
maybe use the s1tool and post that so people can respond to that
No. It says I only have to flash the X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf, if I'm going to a custom ROM afterwards.
Have I misunderstood?
i guess its me misunderstanding
could you like me the thread where you got the file from or your guide
if your unlocking your bootloader i find it odd that the file says BL''RELOCK''
anyways this is the guide i followed and worked like a charm.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087&highlight=blrelock
the first post has the guide and my files were called the following
qsd8250 (zip file wich held the qsd8250_semc.bat)
wich allowed me to unlock the bootloader (this file had nothing to do with flashtool)
only used flastool for 2 things.
1) downgrade kernel
2) after qsd8250 was done unlocking bootloader to upgrade kernel to doomkernels V6 for UL bootloaders (was my choice of kernel)
That was the guide I used too.
"If you aren't keeping your current device configuration (because of flashing another rom after unlocking bootloader or anything else) the simplest way to unlock is to flash stock 2.3.3 rom, root it and use the bl unlock plugin from latest flashtool"
So i took the flash thing named bl_something..
---
As it seems that was wrong, can you give me a quick tutorial, as I didn't quit understand your way. and this one mention and easy way to do it if you'r going to change ROM at once.
tutorial read beyond the big text http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
basicly it says this.
1) get the files you need
semc bat is for x10i and x10a. But only if you haven't tried any simunlocking
the bl unlock file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1253277 - thanks to the_laser
Kernel up/downgrade for flashtool from here: - thanks to azuzu im using FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec
and a custom kernel for Unlocked bootloaders (since your unlocking it )
i used doomkernels v6 for UL BL
Wifi modules for kernel if needed mine had it built in
and then the guide tells you to do this
Please make sure you have enabled usb-debugging in your current rom before starting with this!!
•flash the azuzu kernel downgrade ftf with flashtool
(i opened flashtool selected flash and then selected 'kernel downgrade' and in the other tab i skipped the 'loader' and selected 'kernel')
•disconnect usb cable, press power button until phone vibrates shortly and immidiatly connect the usb cable again (it is supposed to be stuck at SE logo)
(it asks you to do this and so i did)
1) turn off phone
2)unplug phone
3)hold back button
4)stil while holding back button plug phone in
5) flashtool takes over and you can let go
•start the batch file for unlocking bootloader, cause it says press any button before it starts, it won't start unlocking until you press any button
(when its done open the qsd8250 file wich you unzip(ped) and start the qsd8250_semc.cmd)
•now wait until flashtool recognizes your x10 (if flashtool doesn't do anything, check third post please! thx)
•close flashtool and then press any button in the cmd window that the unlocking process starts (please close flashtool, instead the bl unlock cmd and flashtool are constantly killing and restarting adb!!)
•after unlocking is finished you have to flash azuzu kernel upgrade
(same deal as the downgrade)
•now power on phone to check if the phone is starting after the unlock (if you are using a custom kernel yet with the bypass method and get stuck in a bootloop enter xrecovery and clear dalvik-cache, then your phone should boot up again fine)
•power off phone and flash the kernel you downloaded with flashtool
(the one you picked as said i used doomkernels v6 for UL BL)
•now flash the wifi modules if its needed with xrecovery. NOT FLASHTOOL!!!!
•power on phone again and if everything is right, read the line under that one
If you aren't seeing the se logo at turning on phone, but directly the custom kernel logo, you were succesfully. If you want to enter xrecovery you have to spam the back button now if the xperia logo appears instead of the se logo.
and thats it
all thnx should go to 9Lukas5 since i just copy / pasted evrything that he wrote

And when are the bat file finished, it didn't give a clear message, so after a while i exited it.
the bat file auto exits when completed cant remember but it asks you to press any key again and when you do it auto closes
make sure thats done and make sure you do this while flashtool is closed
so close flashtool before pressing any key in de bat file
and i dont see an error in the flash tool info you posted ? how is it stuck ?
i dont know if it matters but i actually upgraded straight away to the kernel i wanted to use
so instead of doing the kernel upgrade delivered with flashtool i upgraded to doomkernels v6 ULBL
seems like your almost there
The upgrade didn't continue..
I'll try your method instead, as for the bat tool.. it's "stuck" at the *daemon started successfully*
ah yeah ok
its bat file first while flashtools turned of
then when it auto closed turn flashtool back on and upgrade
I don't think you understood my explanation
First I downgraded
then I started the bat
then I closed the flashtool
then I pressed "any key" in the bat
then it got stuck on *daemon started successfully*, and it still get stucks there.

I think u may be missing adb drivers on ur pc
Sent from my Xperia X10 using XDA
I think you might be right.
First, after a while just having the bat file opened this pops up: "error: protocol fault (no status)". Whatever that means, and it get stuck at the deamon thing again.
however when I start flashtool while having the bat file open it starts killing the apb server because it is out of date.
now.. what is adb server and how do I update/Install it?
Also, when I get this apb server thing installed ( can anyone link? ), can I use FXP 123 to upgrade with?
edit:
I used another computer, as I was away from my main computer. I got no problem with the adb server there, other than windows defender, but I manage to allow it
now, back to the question above: Can I install FXP 123 as custom kernal? instead of upgrade?
Thats what i did but with doomkernels v6 and no pro lems here ... maybe just to be safe flash the upgrade first then your fx123 its how the guide told us to do it
Sent from my X10 using xda premium
and so I did
Then I installed CM7 FXP123 .... stuck at CM7 loading logo
any idea what happend?
---
btw, thank you so much for the help so far! I really appreciate it and ofc used the thanks button! ^^
Redo de wipes ... enter recovery if you can? Its the rom loadin not kernel is it?
Then full wipe
Wipe cache partition
And wipe dalvik cache or whatever its called
In xrecovery its in adv option i believe
Ive googled some more and dalviks cache alone might even be sufficient
Sent from my CM7 Zmod / doomkernels v6 UL BL X10!
(And all that without bricking it) so far atleast.

To fully run adb u need to download java runtime environment and android SDK. The reason I think its adb is because it stops after saying starting daemon. This I think is adb starting

Got everything working now.. except, I don't have a market app
As I said I just used another computer and the bat file worked, and after wiping all data as Bjornlindekens suggested I got it running.
Thanks all!
this is what i found so far.
(Amaurilol)
''Try finding an apk file for the market. Uninstall the one of your phone and install the downloaded one.''
http://www.filecrop.com/google-market.apk.html
flash google apps.zip if there is one ?(for your rom)
can you locate the market app in your settings/applications ?
only found 1 simular problem and doesnt say if its solved or not
and
(Ynkamat)
''Or else do a manual install of market app. We have a lots of them in apps section. Fix permissions. Use android commander from pc and install that app as a system app. But you need google account and its services to detect''
I am assuming your phone can be bootloader unlocked and you have unlocking key from sony.
If you don't know then refer to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159

2. Turn on your phone, and connect with usb debugging on.
3. Go to Plugins-> Bootloader Unlock option, start it.
4. Now it will ask to disconnect your phone and reboot in FLASHMODE.
5. Again reboot your phone in FASTBOOT mode.
6. It will show a window with your IMEI number, insert your unlock key and click "unlock".
7. The device will reboot and you are done!
FLASHMODE

yes, turn off your phone then connect USB while pressing specific key.
same applies for fastboot method
When I am installing drivers, I am getting "don't install or install anyway", I choose install anyway but the same window comes up again. Should my phone be turned on, off or in flashmode or something?

it asked me 3-4 times and i chose "install anyway", and phone doesn't need to be connected while installing drivers.
I got an error in last step : Failed (remote: oem unlock failed ). This happened to me too when i used the official way to unlock my sony xperia p. Can someone help?

did u check that your device can be unlocked or not?
Yes I checked, it can be unlocked
If you have installed Flashtools and its drivers correct you shouldn't get any driver prompts when plugging the phone in
Assuming you did a default install browse to C:\Flashtool\drivers and execute the drivers file. Make sure you select the drivers for you phone ie "Xperia U" and scroll to the bottom of the list and select Flashboot and Fastboot drivers. From what I have seen so far most people are not installing these 3 drivers.
karimkahale: I would go back to the Sony website and get your unlock code again. Maybe you entered some wrong details...
Please help me out,
when I am trying to install fastboot drivers from flashtools drivers folder, I am getting an error saying driver installation failed.
My os is windows 8 pro 64bit..My phone Xperia U (ICS)
What should I do.

Successfully installed Fastboot driver on windows 8 (Used Advance Startup for installing unsigned drivers)through Flashtools and also unlocked bootloader..
Accidently lost all data as unlocking bootloader wipes data...forgot to take a backup but m happy.
Thank you for this tutorial mate!
It's better if we can get unlock key from flashtool
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
Thanks a million, but would my warranty be void immediately after I unlock the bootloader, what's the regulation about this matter, I'd like to keep my warranty.
---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------
If i relocked the boot loader the warranty wouldn't be void, right?
Not quite;
It all depends on your repairman...
The standard, though, is, that the warranty is valid if the guys at the repair center can flash a stock ROM (.ftf) onto the phone. Some phones can do this without their bootloader being locked, but some can't do this after their bootloaders are unlocked, even if they are locked back afterwards...
Now, I have a question:
I'm having the same error as karimkahale...
Whatever I do, I get that stupid error, and not even Sony can help me (their support team (that needs a week to reply to a simple e-mail) said that thy don't know how to help)...!
Thanks a lot for the guide, it was really helpful!
Cheers!
Relock the Bootloader
Can we relock the boot loader using flash tool???

You have to, actually....
To relock, you need to flash a ftf file via FlashTool...
Help me I can't seem to choose unlock bootloader from the plugin button?
