Hi people, I've unlocked the BootLoader following 9Lukas5's instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087)
And now I don't have radio anymore.
I checked first with the s1tool and it said "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE". I've used the correct bat file and it said that it was unlocked successfully.
It was unlocked because I could install the latest Doom's kernel and Wolf's rom. But I didn't have radio.
I've been searching through the threads looking for answers, but all the methods people suggested, didn't work.
What I've tried: re-locking the bootloader and restauring the phone with seus (still no radio), unlocking again and trying several kernels, basebands and roms (versions 2.1 and 2.3, but still no radio).
Any tips?
Im on the exact same page searched a ton of times this forum and the net and no solution seems to work
Do u know how to check the status of your bootloader?
Sent from my X10S using XDA
I don't think so. How do I do that?
Type *#*#7378423#*#*, go to software info, look at your s1boot version (it will be an r and some numbers) if the r is uppercase (R) it is still locked. If it's a lower case r it has been unlocked

It has an R..
So the bootloader isn't unlocked? Then how can I use Doom's kernel?
Solution found thanks to all of you guys.
First, use pc companion from sony to restore the mobile. (easy)
Then enable usb debug in the apps menu and with flash tools root the phone, it will restart.
Then with flashtools install the xrecovery (easy)
Again with flashtools in the plugins menu select unlock bootloader and run. Phone will restart a few times, do not unplug usb cable (i was unplugin after the first reboot) and it shall be done
Is it doomkernel for locked bootloader?

I have radio now. I tried to do what BrixSat said and on the second try it worked
Thanks everyone for your help
i have a similar problem...radio signal of my X10 is so bad and low, when i am at home the signal is 1/4 or 2/4 bar (before was always 3/4 or 4/4).
repair with pc companion or seus did not help me...tried to relock BL, repair with pc companion and unlock BL but the problem still here.
it is antenna problem or software problem?

few questions about using the unlocker, whilst using the qsd8250 _semc and qsd8250_setool2,
does the phone have to be in flash mode or just connected to pc via usb with usb debugging enabled??
also im gettin adb server is out of date killing...
*daemon started successfully*
getting that every second line or so, is that normal, also it completes the process up until the part where it reboots the phone, then on the pc it saying getting root rights and nothing happens from there???
any help greatly appreciated
follow the unlock instructions fully, if it worked you should lose the "sony" test that happens just after you power on. If not, look for the BL tool in dev section, this will make life easier.
And close flashtool when you do.

Did you unlock your phone by chance? A in sim unlock to use it on another network? If you did, then you will lose radio signal if it wasn't done with SETOOL.

After unlocking, you need to flash DoomLord's special custom kernel or sony's very own via flashtool. Could be that or simply flash backs stock and retry unlocking. Possibly failed.
well ive managed to get radio working again, had to go bac to 2.1, then a custom 2.2 rom so i could crash system server, then unlock bootloader again, so all is working now, but now i cant root for some reason
mods please close this thread now problem is solved
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.

well in that case, it was still locked
but i couldn't unlocked it anymore by connecting the testpoint to USB
connecting the testpoint to ground of the battery solved it, as mentioned above
Hello,
I am using a X10 Mini Pro (u20i). I am having problems with my mobile earphone, and since I checked forums and asked SE technical service and they told me that I had to send it because it was a hardware problem.
My mobile is still in the period of warranty, but I rooted it, installed recovery, unlocked bootloader and installed a kernel.
I have SEUS, and I know that I can "repair" my phone to return it to fabric settings, like taking out the root or the kernel.
The problem comes with the bootloader. I know there is an option to relock the bootloader, but I haven't still considered that option.
I was wondering if somebody could tell me if with the use of SEUS the bootloader gets locked again,
Thanks in advance.
If you do a repair with SEUS or PC Companion it will flash the original kernel and rom, but it won't touch your bootloader.
You have to relock that yourself.
i will help you cause i have been searching it too open it conect your phone to flash mode and press restore..... your bootloader was restored
Relock using se tweaker tool.... Its the best..... Be sure before sending to warranty...that the bootloader is locked and ur device is unrooted....

Hi everybody! I'm new at this forum, i come from xperia x8 forum, and I have problems with custom kernels. I have a xperia Neo V, and I just cant connect the phone in fastboot mode. I'm not sure if it is properly bootloader-unlocked, as in the oficial sony's webpage it said that cdma devices cannot be unlocked (check http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/), and I think that is the standard in Europe isn't it? (I'm from spain). Also, I checked the service menu and it also indicates that the bootloader cannot be unlocked.
Anyway i tried through the testpin-s1 tool method and everything seemed to work fine, i got the output with the two lowercase "r", but not the messages showing the model, software version, custom version, filesystem version and serial number, as said in vimjam's guide (check the post regarding unlock BL here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409269).
When I try to connect it in fastboot mode it just shows the sony ericsson logo and starts to charge, not showing any blue led. I know that this happens in locked devices, but the two lowecase "r" in s1 tool indicate that it is unlocked, so i dont understand... Can someone tell me if my phone is properly unlocked, or if custom kernels can be flashed connecting the device in flash mode (as it does work for me)? Thanks in advance
Eventhough your bootloader is now unlocked, your fastboot is still locked, you have sim-locked phone and you need to pay to unlock it.
ok, so you mean I have to sim-unlock my phone in adition to bl-unlock to connect it in fastboot mode? can this be done in wotanserver or i have to take it to some tech service?

I think something might have messed up with kernel or rom.
If you want to unlock I suggest you to go to stock 2.1 or 2.3.3 and the bl unlock plugin should appear again.
Thanks man
