Hi everyone, there are 4 days for unlock bootloader for free on Omnius.
There are a lot of ppl who have Bootloader Unlock allowed: NO! and as u know it can only be unlocked by pay method. Well you are lucky if you are seing this post because if you go to omnius page: http://www.omnius-server.com/ and register you can unlock for free your 2011 xperia phone. I already try this method on my brother's xperia mini pro (sk17) and it works without pay anything.
If you have some question be free to ask here, I will help you in your unlocker, its a little diffficult but can be done!.
Good luck!
Edit:
STEPS:
Open omnius, log into your account.
Select your device from list.
Press unlock -> Bootloader
It will show you an image where your testpoint is located.
- Next steps are for mini pro -
Cancel the process. Now turn off your xperia mini pro. Remove your batter
Localizate the testpoint and put there your tool (It can be a paper clip with cable).
Put the clip on your test point and the cable to the ground (omnius will help you with this) then connect your phone at the computer.
Windows will recognize new driver and it will fail with installation. Dont worry, open device manager and right click that device and choice update driver. Select install from my computer. Go to omnius installation (c->program files -> omnius -> drivers) and accept. It will show you a warning telling that those arent the proper drivers but its ok, just press install anyway.
Thats it, it will install you the drivers you need.
Now unplug test point and put your battery on (usb cable must be conected).
Now unplug the usb now.
Put usb again on your xperia and once again it will show you new device founded, follow the same step before, device manager, update, from computer, etc, etc). Thats it, now open omnius and press unlock, bootloader and it will succes.
For anothers devices it will be the same but with different testpoint, steps may be different but omnius will show you the way.
I hope this can help you, because is one day left.

unlock bootloader means that you can use fastboot mode.
Also you can unlock your sim for use any operator you want.

Well not exactly I unlocked the bootloader and was unable to access fast boot mode on my lww due to the simlock. I had to do a full unlock before had access to fastboot.

But do you have access to fastboot?? Connect the phone to the PC while it is off and you are holding the volume up key the notification led should turn on blue.

Hello!
So this method works for live with walkman? Can I install costum roms after that? Is my warranty still valid after I unlock bootloader with this method / can I re-lock bootloader if needed?
Thank You!
Have a nice day

Yes, this works with LWW.

Warranty is void if bootloader is unlocked.
Yes, bootloader can be relocked.
I have a question, in the program when i try unlock bootloader they tell to retire the batery off and reconect and connect the testpoint to phone's ground.... and next shortly press power buton and disconnect testepoint.
i dont understand this step, testpoint? wtf?
Any help
So I connected the test point and it shows up on my computer and then I shortly press the power button and when I reconnect it, it still doesn't proceed. Help please?

First take out battery from phone then take some wire and connect it,to ground (you can find testpoint locations on omnius site) ,also be sure that drivers are installed (you
can find them in S1tool) now comes tricky part where you need to do in few seconds but first check is testpoint connected,so tricky part is that you need to disconnect testpoint and put battery while is sending loader or error will come up (phone will be ok)
I hope you will understand.

i was trying to follow this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285285) to unlock my sk17i. i'm pretty sure i did the right thing at first, but during "PROCESSING … REMOVE TESTPOINT NOW, THEN PRESS "READY"" part, i removed the USB instead of just the test point.
now the problem is nothing happens anymore after i click Ready (after connecting the test point) when i try to Patch SECMBoot.
i tried the RESTORE but it said 'nothing to restore'
is there any way to solve this? or maybe reset the process i abandoned before?
Well,does your phone still can be turn on?If no,use wotanserver,and try to unlock it again...
yes it can still be turn on. everything is still normal.
i have looked through wotanserver before posting this, but hesitated to use it. can i just unlock my phone using it and without installing their firmwares?
and it said
Beside unlocking removes Invalid SIM Card or SIM network unlock PIN screens and allows you to use your phone with different network SIM card – unlocking is NOT supported by WotanClient software!

done it.
instead of connecting testpoint to USB (which i did before), i connected test point to ground-negative connector of the battery.
now i have unlocked the device.
but sadly i used wotanserver and my phone is back to stock -_-"
thanks.
@hizperion
just a question sir, why are you trying to unlock bootloader?
if you have done it already thru test point that should be it.
this would allow you to use fastboot on your phone to install custom kernel.
flashing thru wotan would definitely lead to stock since that is what it does...

the unlocking thru test point at the first time didn't work, because i plugged the USB out during the process. so it kinda stuck at some point (it seems like its already unlocked, but actually not yet). i tried to flash using fastboot but nothing happened too.
just check service menu.
if it states "bootloader unlocked : yes" then it is already unlocked.
if it states "bootloader unlock allowed :yes" then it is still locked.

Hi,
i just bought single unlock licence for omnius and tried several times to unlock my sk17i and always stuck on "waiting for loader response"!can somebody explain step by step how to do please i cannot wait anymore to flash custom kernels and roms!
thanks in advance!!
don't use Omnius, use SE bootloader unlocking relocking, download it.
1)open SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking.exe
2)in your phone digit: *#06# and copy your IMEI
3)paste the IMEI in the SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking.exe apposite space and click on: Get Unlock Code
3)turn off your phone,and connect in to your pc in fastboot mode(press volume up when you connect it
4)click Unlock BL,
4 link write me on private message
im not allowed to do that because of branded phone
i have the xperia mini pro sk17i, i have done this metod and my phone works perfectly
in service menu i got bootloader unlock allowed:NO...its sim locked branded xmp
have you done everything what i writed?
i can't get into fasboot it's locked
fastboot can't be locked, maybe you haven't got installed fastboot drivers on your pc
flashed with omnius.thanks anyway

Fastboot is disabled on SIM-locked and/or branded phones. Only way to enable it is via paid method.
I'm trying to unlock my bootloader via testpoint, but I got the message like this on the log at s1tool :
DETACH USB CABLE FROM PHONE
REMOVE BATTERY FROM PHONE
ATTACH TESTPOINT
PRESS "READY" THEN ATTACH USB CABLE TO PHONE

what is the problem?
when I attach the USB cable should I attach the battery or leave it without battery?

Stop trying before you hurt your phone, you have a newer device made after 11w26 which cannot be unlocked by testpoint.
Your only root to unlock is official method, as all the alternatives rely on the same exploit, the thread madyfish linked to explains this.

The exploit was closed from 11w26 and phased in with 100% after 12w14 on the new S1 Erom.
As your service menu says unlock allowed, save yourself a headache and use the Sony method.

You can still root it no problem, just not unlock bootloader.
However, you should still be able to unlock it via a paid for service. (Someone correct me if I am wrong)

No need to correct you
Paid service like SETool Box(which I personally advise), omnius, wotan server(they provide SIM unlock, not sure about bootloader unlock).
Also having this in mind: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25802604&postcount=144
if older than 12W14, only official unlock (of course with previously removed SIM lock)

My phone is 11W29. And my carrier is Vodafone. If I SIM unlock it (which means that I can use another SIM form other carriers), may I unlock the bootloader then?

Yes.
Long story:
Technically, you can unlock it(bootloader) now, it's just you won't be able to use it until you remove SIM lock, as SIM lock is also locking fastboot, which you need to access your unlocked bootloader.
Is it possible to SIM unlock with software, I mean free?

I have one more question. With a custom kernel, does it really improve the overall experience?
I'm on ICS now and the phone isn't up to my expectations being honest. It's not as fluid and responsive as it should be even that I use a custom ROM (ICS pureness). So I wonder if a kernel would benefit the overall usage.
Above all, I find it troubled to do multitasking. It often needs to reopen the apps and it feels slow and games and apps lag even with the new Adreno drivers (I'm using Holo Launcher). I tried supercharging it a few months ago but I didn't notice it that much on ICS. Maybe JB runs better??
I'm seriously thinking about going back to GB. It feels snappier and more responsive. Altough I don't want to... :crying:

How you unlocked it? What program you used?
Did you try with different SIM cards?
I bought a code obtained from my phone model, carrier and IMEI.
Then I introduced another SIM card from a different carrier and my phone asked for that code. So, I introduced it and my phone now can be used with other carriers.
Then I inserted my SIM card again and I checked my phone unlock status. And it says 'no'.

Why you didn't follow my suggestion and used apps which I suggested?
Anw, I'm not sure now.
Install drivers from latest flashtool,
turn off phone, hold down menu key and connect cable to phone, let the PC recognize phone and install drivers,
start flashtool, click on lightning icon and select fastboot mode, click on "get ver info" and "get device info" in the main flashtool window you should see some info.
What does it say?
p.s. you can always try with testpoint method or by official method and see if it will work.

What are you complaining about? Why don't buy a ticket to watch a film or sth instead of being so rude?
Ok. I've got Flashtool 0.9.8 installed in GNU/Linux and Flashtool 0.9.5 in Windows 7.
It seems I cannot enter in fastboot mode within either one. In fact, after entering in flash mode (holding down back button) my phone always enters in flash mode except if I hold down the menu button, in which case it enters in normal (charging?) mode.

I flashed my other J before and straight after. so would it be something wrong with the kernel
No ...
The section "related" to fastboot and flashmode lies before the kernel...
It tells the phone to use the boot.img(kernel) to boot the device..
Basically if you cant get the phone to boot in flash mode,you are screwed...
But i believe it's windows fault ,so try it on other machine ...

Try this code to access service menu

Chances are extremely remote...
You need access to phone partitions ...
Lack of USB debugging prevents that..
No terminal command can be issued to phone
Factory reset is impossible without flashmode ...
You can try asking for unlock code via another email id like prantoroy said but chances look slim...
Just a random thought...try using PC companion and see if you can format using it ...

Wrong protocol...also locked bootloaders are "meant" to keep device safe from stuff like your tools ...

Yeh tried it none of the options see the device

I see...
Chances are extremely remote...
You need access to phone partitions ...
Lack of USB debugging prevents that..
No terminal command can be issued to phone
Factory reset is impossible without flashmode ...
You can try asking for unlock code via another email id like prantoroy said but chances look slim...
Just a random thought...try using PC companion and see if you can format using it ...

PCC requires the screen to be unlocked to see the phone. Thank you both for your help don't think theres much more to try.
