wotan and flashtool hangs - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

My xperia Mini (ST15) hangs during "Booting Phone..." in wotan client, AND during "Flashing Loader" in flashboot. I have search a lot and I can't find an answer, and the only persons who had the same problem fix it by doing the process again, but I have done it more than 10 times each process but no luck.
I have found doing *#*#7378423#*#* that I have "Bootloader unlock allowed: No" but I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem or not.
Please, give me some advice! Thank you!

so what do you want to do with your phone? BL unlock?

I want to reflash the phone with a generic firmware (debranding) But I'm unable to flash it using this two software because it won't start the flashing process...
Is there anything I should do before doing this steps???
Thank you!

Has anyone has at least a though about this???

you cant flash generic. you have to sim unlock it first.

The only way to sim-unlock my xperia is by buying and using credits on SETOOL ?
Thank you

yes. by setool or wotanserver. both are paid.

Are they both equally effective?

yes, i guess, i haven't used any of them since i don't buy branded phones.

[Q] Wotanserver Unlock?

Hi, new here .
Quick question; has anyone successfully unlocked their XMP with the Wotanserver client? I want to make sure they're reputable and trustworthy before I hand over ~£13. As far as I understand, this is the easiest way to remove a carrier-lock (and no free way exists).
This is mainly so I can then unlock the bootloader and install custom kernels.
Thanks!
I have read from somewhere, that they have unlocked their Xperia with WotanServer and it succeeded. Can't remember, which topic it was....Try searching.
if they use a test point method then you can be almost sure it will work well.
I have unlocked 2 both went without a problem

But, does it give you fastboot? (To flash new kernels)

He needs to remove network-lock, which can be done via WotanServer.

It can be wotan server or omnius or setool but by my own experience if the server uses the test point method there will be no prob and maybe even will left the bootloader unlock.
You can unlock the sim using test point or imei code. So i don't know if wotanserver uses test point as i don't know if the imei method will unlock the fastboot mode that is why i made a comment about the method.

Yes, it does because unlocks bootloader too..
Ok thanks for the replies .
So basically I need to find out from them what method they use (not sure if they'll tell me that :S) and ask if I can unlock the bootloader as a result of using their tool - or if their tool unlocks the bootloader as well.
I'll post here when I get an answer .

dude, to unlock from wotan server, you use the test point method.. And when o unlock your phone from network, it will unlock bootloader too, so you don't have to worry with that anymore... btw, after unlock your phone, don't do officials updates from sony, it will brick your phone..

Ok thanks, I guess I'll go ahead with this then.
Just to clarify on your last point; it's the bootloader unlock which won't play nice with sony updates, right? So if I want to use an official update in the future I can just re-lock the bootloader but keep the network unlocked?

From what we know at the moment, yes it is so.
Not much people have network locked phone, so we don't have much information.
And yes, unlocked bootloader will not let Sony updates to be installed.

I have no idea (as I have not needed this), but my best guess would be that those people may not have installed the correct driver that comes with flashtool.
Seems tha mobile phone is a branded phone..... its a paid method yhu gonna use, check wotanserver client maybe yhu can get something there!
###Check dis video out buddy, it might help.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn-Vubgka1M
If you have
Bootloader unlock allowed: No

then you have to use paid method, because fastboot is disabled. There is no other way to enable fastboot at the moment.
Yes, I have "Unlock allowed: NO" and ran many times S1TOOL without success because i made a very bad choice to buy a mobile from VODAFONE (the worst company, in my opinion)
So, the only way to enable boot loader as far as I know is by UNLOCK in a shop. One of my friend did this to a sk17i of YOIGO and did the trick well. He can now enjoy the miniICS which run amaizing.
Im thinking to do the same. SONY and VODAFONE deceive me. (and its not the first time)
I dont think by software like Wotan you could do. (

Bootloader unlock allowed: no

when i check *#*# code7378423#*#*
in service menu
Bootloader unlock allowed no
what should i do???
i need to unlock my bootloader
please pelp
get an unlock code from your network provider, some people have said that once they removed the simlock its let them unlock the bootloader. if that doesnt work then theres not much you can do untill someone works out another way to unlock it
no fastboot mode.
Theres only one solution I know of, and it may be a crazy one....
Use search first, and read the other 500 threads created on this topic ;-)
Short answer: No, not able to be done yet.

If you want to unlock the boot loader, use the wotanserver.com
* In addition to sim unlock you get an unlocked bootloader.
However, it seems to me that at the moment, this service does not support SXS
Try to write the administration service.

= the post above was completely unnecessary as it does *NOT* provide a way of unlockning bootloader for SXS.

What is a "rootable bootloader"?
For the Croatian members:
I've just called customer service of Vipnet( Vodafone) and they told me that there is no problem, you can unlock boot loader for only 480 HRK (~65€).
Well, if there's no free unlocking solution in few weeks I'll have to milk some cash. It's still better then locked for life.

Pay more for a phone that's SIM-Free and not subsidized by a network. That is the only way.
guys, try the ezSEMC. it's realy working, but it's paid.
I'm not seller. I used it on my acro hd and i'd got the bootloader unlock allowed: yes.
What about U/P/Sola

No test point is this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730874
You cant unlock your bootloader this way, infact you cant do it with a pc at all. What you need to do is have your phone sim unlocked by your carrier, then take your phone to a sony service center and tell them that your phone is now sim unlocked and you want them to unlock your bootloader. This is the only way to do it.

P.S. This is in the wrong section, it should be under general. Thread reported to be moved.

Oh well that sucks, sorry bro thats the only way unless you can get an unlock code from somewhere else cheaper. But I dont know if sony will then unlock your bootloader as it wasnt done by your carrier. Thats if they can tell i dont know much about it so not sure. check this thread http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/40526
Its all good, General is for questions and general about the phone.
Accessories, well thats self explanatory.
Android dev, this is for developement, so posting roms and kernels and any android dev that there is.
Themes and apps, well thats self explanatory too.

Yes, lots of threads have been made on this topic...You can use wotanserver, omnius or just break your simlock in many local shops then unlock it.
Hope I helped..

Just getting rid of simlock will not help. Fastboot still needs to be enabled, can only be done via paid testpoint method.
yes my ray was =no and unlocked via paid methored wotan server it was 13 euros

Yes, they can be unlocked. Actually it is the only way to remove SIM-lock (and unlock bootloader at the same time), if I am not mistaken.
