I purchased an unlock credit for my SK17i(TP method, using a clip).
So I can unlock it and the bootloader since its operator locked It doesn't fastboot...yet...because:
I do the following steps:
Remove the battery.
Start up Wotan X Unlock Tool.
Select the SK17 Xperia Mini Pro.
Login, credit detected.
Connect tp to GND (battery conector) and insert USB while holding it.
Windows detects the phone and installs drivers (Zeus).
The wotan asks to remove the Test Point, I do so.
It then says : "Loading qc loader".
And it just stays there, nothing else happens.
I have tried grounding in diferent points, tried different drivers, different ports...heck, even 3 different laptops and nothing, it just stays there.
If I remove the USB cable it just says "Invalid STX" and I have to start over.
Payed 15€ por it and it doesn't work....
Any solutions?
Sounds kinda obvious but contact support, it's the best way to find a solution, I had some issues unlocking my bootloader also and they solved my problem.
Did you find a solution to your problem? I have the same problem with my Xperia Pro...
Worked only for models with specific date,check wotan FAQs.

Hello,
I have the same problem. The date in my xperia sk17i is 12W14. Have you a solution? Can you give me the url of wotan's FAQ?
Thank you !

Can you unlock bootloader after sim unlocking using this method? Friend of mine has Neo V with locked fastboot and this seems resonably priced.

well, i had the same trouble. my solution was unistall the driver, to connect the phone with TP reinstall the drivers... then try it again ans worked.
I guess it is new version
it is like Wt19i old version was unlocking smoothly
now news versions cannot be unlocked only by network
waiting for wotan server devolpment and setool also

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.

same here, I bought my Xperia S directly to Sony Mexico, and it is locked too, I talked with Sony like 5 times, each one with different person and all said the same, that it is locked because in Mexico, there are not unlocked devices, no matter who sold it. They said that I have to talk with telcel so maybe they can give me the unlock code, will let you know if I will success
Hi, I was thinking in getting an Xperia S but if the bootloader is locked I won't get it.
Just to clarify, you both have done this (from: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions)
1. First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
2. In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

and you got the "Bootloader unlock allowed: No"?
Yep it says "no" if you are going to Buy one it is better if you buy it on web pages, you can find it unlocked by factory
Enviado desde mi LT15i usando Tapatalk 2
So is there another way you can get a code or does it has to be from TELCEL? i mean are there some kind of keygens or something? i bet TELCEL can't have thousands of codes for all the cellphones they have...
setool s1 servers are online so you can unlock simlock, and bootloader of any provider
Do you have the link to setool page?
Enviado desde mi LT18i usando Tapatalk 2
and what exactly is this setool s1? and how do you use it?
SeTool2 is tool to unlock, repair etc Sony Ericsson phones.
It can unlock Xperia S (LT26) with they servers (names s1 server) it online 0:00 - 12:00 gmt
You must buy software + server credits to ulock or find someone to unlock your phone in my country cost 140 PLN ~ 32 Euro ~ 41USD
Sounds great! Do you know were can find a guide to do it?
Enviado desde mi LT18i usando Tapatalk 2
it's not too easy, but apart of the setool software you have to own a box to conect to your pc in order to unlock the sim and enable the fastboot, if i'm wrong then make a tutorial and teach us how???
i dont have money to buy setool for unlock one phone. so i cant make tutorial
people that unlock Xperia S do it remote by TeamViewer ... you just download software and connect Xperia to pc by USB cable, they login to your pc, then login to s1 server with their user/password and unlock
i check this metod after get salary and write more
enable fastboot and sim unlock

Sadly unlocking the bootloader will invalidate your warranty which ever way you do.
Samsung are offering an unlocked version of the GIII..... with no warranty (at least in the US anyways)

But it won't work, because fastboot is disabled still. The only known way right now to enable fastboot is via paid method.

First, check that your phone is allowed to be unlocked. Dial *#*#7378423#*#* on your phone. Tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.
Download the “fastboot” package. This is a software which will unlock your phone’s bootloader. Unzip it and place the folder on your PC’s desktop (or anywhere else).
Download the “fastboot” drivers. Install them accordingly.
Head over to Sony’s Bootloader Unlocking page. Click to confirm that you are sure! Accept the legal terms.
Put your name, your phone’s IMEI number and your email ID in respective fields. Your phone’s IMEI number is found by dialing *#06# on your phone. Write that down by discarding the last digit (phone’s IMEI numbers are 14-digit. Sony Xperia devices will give you a number with 15-digit once you dial *#06#. Just ignore the last digit). On the next page, you will be given an unlock code. Write this down as well.
Turn off your phone. Wait for 30 seconds. Connect your phone to the PC while keeping the volume up key pressed. Your phone’s LED will lit blue (indicating fastboot mode).
Head over to the location where you kept the previously unzipped fastboot folder. Right click while keeping pressed the SHIFT key on the folder and select “Open command prompt here”.
Type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version to ensure your have entered bootloader mode (you will get version on java example, 0.3)
Type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY (replace KEY with unlock code you got from Sony’s website earlier)
Voila, your phone’s bootloader is now unlocked.
Hi guys this is my first post and i too have the same problem with the bootloader on my mini pro2, i managed to root my phone the other day using this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514
I thought it would unlock my bootloader but it didnt and the reason i rooted my phone was to overclock it but i am now told i need to unlock the bootloader too to allow me to overclock it, i have exactly same problem as op so i am asking if anyone knows a way to unlock it even though it has bootloader lock set to NO
Also if i do manage to unlock the bootloader will i have to root my phone again or will it still be rooted?
If the bootloader unlock is not allowed, it is due to sim lock...you can unlock it using wotanserver or omnius or you may find some help in the local shops(try at ur risk i'm just suggesting) and if you rooted the phone and then unlock the bootloader you will still have the root(like me :laugh...just see the stickies for more help and guides by mihahn...
Press THANKS if I helped....

Moved to Q&A
Hello everybody, is there a way to repair the bootloader without using SETool box o dongle? Basically, I'm asking if I can repair it only with the USB cable and a specific software. I'm asking this, because here in Argentina I found it hard and expensive to buy a specific hardware.
Bootloader was damaged by trying to unlock it.
Thanks!
How have you damaged it? What process was used to unlock bl?
Have you tried to repair with se companion or flashtool?

I really don't know what process was used, I didn't do it, but as far as i know, it was a bat file which had to be launched after a kernel downgrade. I tried usin flashtool with different versions but it always shows a SIN header verification failure. SE companion does nothing, i've also tried it.
Thanks by the way!!
Welcome. Looking for a simple way to unlock the bootloader in the neo-v. Very I would be happy if you show me applications such as one-click.Sorry for my bad english I can not take advantage of the testpoint method and official methods sony
Why you can not use the official way? This is the official way: Unlocking the boot loader
As I know there is no application which will do what you expected with only one click, I repeat, as I know.
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070325

if I will use the method in which you get a code from sony i will lose DRM
I'm looking for an application such as ez unlock but this probably will not work on neo v (by clicking it displays the bootloader unlocked but after entering the service code still writes : bootloader unlock allowed :YES

There's S1Tool described in big thread in Neo V Development subforum. It uses testpoint method. You can try it. It haven't worked for me so I used Omnius Server. It uses testpoints too. I bought single unlock credit for $15 but you may find someone in your area with full version or with SE Tool, it should be cheaper. I'm not sure what happens to DRM since I don't use it and I flashed LX CM 10.1 right away.
Thank you all for your ideas. But I think I will try to testpoint method ... If you have any other ideas please write:laugh:
I have an idea ... It may suffice check what files are changing when you unlock the bootloader and put them on the phone with a locked bootloader
I don't know if you unlock the bootloader using the test point method the DRM security keys and the secure user data partition are lost.
By using the method suggested by me above, the official method those two are lost and the warranty of your phone will be lost in most cases.
So be careful
Later edit
I read some pages about test point method, seems the DRM code is not lost when the bootloader is unlocked by test point method.
go to wotanserver
go to wotanserver check youre pone date in the baterry is quick and u will unlock bootloader and network mine Works well u dont need to be affraid never with get bootlop when u have bootloader unlock mi pone is like Brand new i install custom rom vyper xperia v6 very good rom
