Try replacing the SIM card from your operator
my sim work fine i try another sim still same problem
But I don't think you need an unlocked bootloader to flash firmwares with flashtools.

You don't have to have the boot loader unlocked for flashing the official firmware.
You can re-download the same firmware or different firmware and flash it and see if it fixes your problem.
By-the-way, firmware won't change the boot loader status! If it can, by now everyone would have been flashing to unlock the firmware! .

No way the flashtool tells you to unlock the boot loader in order to flash the stock ROM. Either you are lying or you are really spamming!

-unlocking my bootloader- does that mean i have my sim unlocked aswell ?
(i can insert any sim card) ???
Nope,bootloader doesn't mean that u have your sim unlocked,its a different thing.

Careful buddy u gonna mess ur phone up. U have no reason to downgrade kernel now flashtool can do it all on 2.3.3. If u unlocked successfully then it will still be unlocked unless u relock it yourself (flashing new Rom/changing kernel etc will not relock it). Refer to various guides on bl unlock but be careful. That sounds like a recipe for disaster pal. (if u need help pm me but it sleep time for me now so it'll b tomoz)

did you have a simunlocked phone? or contract phone?
if you have simunlocked(network unlocked) your phone other than your carrier or s1tool before unlocking your bootloader than I m sorry to say you have lost your signal forever I guess.
im gonna diee XP, can i do anything to recover the signal because i want to sell the phone

so was your phone network unlocked
??
what is the network, what do you reffer when you say network unlock?
diegodelp said:

I mean to say that if you are on contract with your carrier then you can only use its own simcard.No other sim card works.
Network unlock means by means of some code you can then use any other simcard in the phone.
so I was asking did you do something like this before unlocking bootloader??
No i have been testing the rom oodie for Locked bootloader and after i try to unlock that but now i dont have signal

then I dont see any reason for losing signal unless it has been network unlocked before.
did you try flashing stock firmware in flash tool?
really? no i am trying with xperiaS Rom, but if i dont have any results i will try with stock rom, only with the s1tool pressing "RESTORE" i dont know... Sh*t
press restore in s1tool to relock bootloader and flash stock rom in flashtool.
I hope this works
im going to try that but if that dont works? what do i do?

How do I relock my Xperia Mini Pro? I unlocked it through the official way on the Sony Website and wanting to relock it now. I reflashed my phone to stock ROM with stock KERNEL and want to lock the bootloader. I downloaded Flashtool and now I don't know what to do. Should I use Flashtool or S1tool? Please help, thanks
Plus, Flashtool is not recognizing any drivers I have installed, I installed my phone's driver using Gordan Gate's which I got from WontanServer. Will I have to install the drivers manually?
If you used official method, you will need this file, attached to my post, inside the .rar file, and Flashtool. Just place the .ftf file in Flashtool/firmwares folder, then open Flashtool, flashmode and pick the relock_bootloader.ftf file. Make sure your phone is in Flashmode also.
About drivers...I cannot remember, which drivers did I install...
Thanks, a lot, I have finally relocked the bootloader. But just to make sure, how can I check If my bootloader is locked or unlocked? Thanks

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* service info>cofiguration.If it says bootloader unlocked allowed : yes then it's locked, if bootloader unlocked : yes then it's unlocked.
One qeustion by my side: After relocking the bootloader, is it posiible when you send it to the servis to be detected that the bootloader has been unlocked (or maybe that the device has been rooted) previously? I have relocked the bootloader and done repair with Pc companion so everything is like before well.....except that before i did a root with flashtool and didn't knew that the stock firmware isn't rootable like that and i lost 3G!!!!!!...now i must set to 2g in order to get signal coz i get with 3g weak signal and when i make a call it drops off. That's why i want to send it to the service

Did you flash the .ftf file with Flashtool properly? It worked on me perfectly, was able to lock the bootloader without problems.

No i didn't try to relock it and i'm sorry for the misunderstanding..
What i was trying to say is that if i reflash my phone to stock ROM with stock KERNEL and take it to service how will they know that it's unlocked?
If they try the known dial *#*#7378423#*#* method my devise says : bootloader unlocked allowed : yes

I knew that your post had nothing to do with relocking patrida If you unlocked your phone with sony's official method you loose your DRM even if you relock it.Now, about the service, i highly doubt they gonna search if you unlocked it but i can't swear about that.There is also another method unlocking your phone without loosing DRM but didn't tried it and i don't know if they can detect it or not
T3sla said:
... you loose your DRM even if you relock it...

Now i get it.. you loose your DRM the exact time you ask them to provide you unlock code!
So,no matter what you do afterwards they allready know which device is unlocked and which is not.. sosta thessalonikie mou??
My phone is unlocked with the "other" method and let's hope that i'll never have to take it to them and wonder if they detect it or not!!!
My phone now is locked and to check if your bootloader is locked or not, download S1tool. Open S1tool and click "Identify" and then follow the onscreen instructions. When your phone's information comes up it will say "R(some numbers and letters)". If you have a capital R means your bootloader is locked, if you have a small r means your bootloader is unlocked.

You lose DRM, if you unlock via fastboot using official method. When DRM is gone, it is completely gone, currently there is no way of getting it back.

Can you guys please tell me what this "other" method is? The one by which you can unlock a Xperia Mini without loosing DRM.

Nope, donut HD can be flashed on locked/unlocked bootloader, u should know this.
The reason why i asked u how is : some users relock
their bootloader improperly, and it could brick the phone permanently.

Flash stock rom using flash tool. If you can't get flash mode in normal way try this. Take off battery, connect USB to phone, pc, hold back button, insert battery. Good luck.

To unlock and restore our bootloader we need to
refert to Stock Rom and Kernel ( Official stock),
This is really safe and eassiest way, btw we absolutely no need to restore our bootloader unless for warranty purpose.

Normally people who've unlocked bl,while trying OTA brick the phone and that's when this comes handy @Lw I think that's where you got a bit confused
