Greetings! I'm about to decide to unlock the bootloader using a method of payment and that gave me check with s1tool RECONOZIGNED CERTIFICATE NOT, but I'm a little hesitant because they do not know if there really is a good ROM 100% stable as the official version 2.1, not have problems with the lights on the keyboard, video recording that is not delayed audio and photos are of good quality
I recommend paying for unlocking the bootloader or not? that benefits would have to unlock the bootlaoder and new ROMs with custom kernels
I hope I can help, Thanks!
When i needed to unlock my bootloader, i didn't pay anything, and the job was done perfectly. If you want a stable ROM with LOTS of features, install MINICM 7.
If I also did not pay anything for unlocking the bootloader, but as I get the message RECONOZIGNED CERTIFICATE NOT, on the net I found a service where you can unlock besides paying and is released ... I hope more opinions to decide, so any comments are welcome, Thanks!

Listen mate The services you're thinking of paying for unlock your simlock, not your bootloader. A sim-unlock enables you to use sim-cards from other providers on your phone, The bootloader unlock enables you to run a different kernel on your phone. Sim-unlocking and bootloader-unlocking are different things.
unlocking your bootloader is safe is your phone is:
A: sim-unlocked from the start (semc-simlock-certificate)
B: sim-unlocked using an EMMA/IMEI code from your provider (which usually is provided for free after your initial contract-period)
C: sim-unlocked using third-party software (which you have to pay for).
Currently you're sim-locked to a provider i guess, since your sim-lock certificate is not recognised, so ask them for an unlock code, after which you can unlock your bootloader yourself.
The 2.1 firmware provided by Sony-Ericsson mostly works fine with all hardware-features your phone has to offer and is easy to use, although it could be a bit more responsive.
There are a few hacks that will allow it to run a bit faster if you just root your phone (no sim-unlocking or bootloader-unlocking needed), like enabling JIT, and overclocking. Those options are free, relatively safe and still will give you full usage of your phone's capabilities.
I think you've got an X10MiniPro, so if you want to discover what custom roms can do, try MiniCM7Pro by Paul-xxx, or ArcMini Nxt, which will give you Gingerbread android (2.3) on the kernel you currently have on your phone (with no need to sim-unlock or bootloader-unlock your phone).
Just look in the X10MiniPro Development section, you can find them there.
I hope it's a bit clearer for you now
Thank you very much for the info, now I x10 mini pro I have only one network available to use as the others are not released (I can only use the SIM card of a company) when you buy it could use any SIM card from any operator, but installing the ROM MiniCm7 pro v21 (met all the requirements and thought of nothing to unlock the bootloader or anything)
After installing the ROM MiniCM7 v21 pro team run out of signal and could not use any SIM card, bring it to a technician and he gave me the solution is to change the IMEI, change IMEI and I'm like this now, I mean I can only use a SIM card, I tried the vast majority of stock ROMs for ROM kernel including MiniCM7 pro v21 which is what I take the release and has not to happen
I've tried most ROMs to stock kernel and all have a problem with the lights on the keyboard and the problem of grbar audio video (audio is delayed) on occasion get the message of forced closure, I tried the fix for lights keyboard but do not work, besides the ROMs are slowed when installing applications that I have the version now in Stock
Thank you very much, I hope more answers to find out more about the issue and see whether or not I should unlock the bootloader

No, it does not mean you can use any sim card.
my phone is network unlock, i cant upgrade my firmware via seus or se pc companion. but you can use flashtool to flash roms
thanks you both, after searching ive finally gathered it has to be sim unlocked by
factory, network provider.
using sites like http://simlock.com/ and da vinci team does this affect the bootloader unlock? i.e. flashing different kernals? im sure i read in the bootloader post that using 3rd party unlock your bootloader is locked again?
so for instance if i sim unlock from the sites mentioned, is my boot loader relocked or will i have to unlock it again after sim unlock?
at the moment my x10i is network locked to orange but 2.3.3 root/unlocked bootloader via flashtool.
I went whit cellunlocker.net
the best, used it on 3 phone.
takes about an hour to receive a code
and it do NOT interfere whit unlocking the boot loader
free unlock code from [email protected]
I called att today and to my suprise they gave me free unlock code for my sony x10 I bought it from a buddy of mine that got two phones lasy year and didnt pay the first bill
ps: can i simunlock with this code on my bootloader unlock phone

Hi friends,
Before buying this cute smartphone, I want to know if we have solutions to unsimlock the Xperia S.
Thank you all
if you have option, buy unlocked one
why?
1) phone is locked so no other network
2)unlocking phone would be very expensive since is new so £30-40 + wait to people work out how to (price in highstreet)
3)instatly lose warranty - (test point)
4) locked bootloader no fun on xda
-no fastboot
-no unlocked botlooader
-no xrecovery
-no custom rom
-no root
- long wait for update.
- i am not sure whether unlock simlock = unlocked bootloader.

Currently there is no free Sim Unlock in the DEV section. Best check next time before asking
The phone has been out around 3 weeks, might be a while before a solution can be found.
I have checked more than you can imagine that's why I have asked to know if there is a solution because I didn't find it

I won my Xperia S in a competition from Three UK.
I'm on Orange and have my contract to pay so I asked Three for an unlock code. They've had to speak to Sony because even Three don't have a code yet.
I paid £15 on 9th March and I'm still waiting for an unlock, just want to use my beautiful Xperia

Are you sure?
A network locked phone cannot be root and no unlocked bootloader?
my X10 was locked and I could root it easily and flash other official roms (different baseband).
Then I sim-unlocked it before flashing custom roms, so I don't know if I am able to do that with a locked phone though.

Just got my Xperia unlocked officially from Three UK. So it works on any network however all the Three integration is still there and after checking the bootloader status I am unable to unlock the bootloader as of now.
So although it's unlocked to any network, it's still kinda locked with regards to the bootloader and rooting.

Have you flashed an un-brand firmware? (there is a way to flash another official rom without rooting/unlocking) Maybe it would be bootloader unlock-able after that...? (i really not sure about this)
But there should be a way to root the phone without bootloader unlocked soon or later anyway (just like the others)
and i know that the X10 can be bootloader unlock even with simlock (although the method came out quite late...)
it's just a matter of time, shouldn't be the end of the world

IMEI UNLOCK Sony Xperia S
Hi,
I planing to buy a Sony Xperia S and IMEI unlock it...Maybe this is a stupid question but if I buy the Xperia S new, is it possible it comes already with blocked counter? or every Xperia S comes with 5 to 10 attempts? and if it comes with factory blocked counter, is it still possible to remove simlock? Would it be to expensive? I really need to know this in order to know if I buy the Xperia S or not. Sorry if it is a dumb question but I was an iOS user 'til now. Sorry if I post this in the wrong thread.
Thank you!!
Hi,
I have been reading up alot recently about rooting and flashing my phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray) as currently my carrier (O2) is not releasing ICS for updates as they have not "tested" it sufficiently on my particular device (this was there explanation to me via email).
I have looked on the official sony ericsson website trying to find a way to update my phone and found that the method there required my phone to have an unlocked bootlader but unfortunatly my phone has a locked bootloader (im assuming due to it being locked to O2 although it is a pay as you go model).
I have read conflicting opinions on whether you can root and flash your phone in my situation and was just wondering (before i tried anything at all) whether someone could clarify if it would be possible to update my phone to ICS.
For reference this is my phones status:
Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
Thanks
Try find generic ics for ray, flash it using flashtool.
Or u can pay to make your bootloader unlockable.

Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514
When you follow the Link Tutorial you have at the end Root and ICS on your Ray, without unlocking your bootloader (unlocking bootloader causes probably in lost your warranty!)
You need unlocking Bootloader for new Kernel and/or some Custom Rom´s, but there are some rom´s for locked bootloader.
Don´t forget to save your build.prop in /system befor you do something from the guide! With original build.prop you can flash your phone to O2 original software when there are something to repair in service center.
hi guys
few days ago i unlock the boot loader of my phone.
LWW with phone info:
android version 2.3.4
build number 4.0.2.A.0.62
kernel version 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected]#1
i used the following tools to unlock my bootloder: "DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su"
after this my rooting status : boot loader unlock allowed: yes..
now i want is unroot.
now i am using "DooMLoRD_v1_UNROOTING"
but this i getting error.
plz find the attachment
help me...
Root and bootloader are two distinct things. Unlocked bootloader allows you to change kernel, while root is the ability to pass certain system restrictions.
What are you trying to do? un-root your phone or relock bootloader? I think the fiorst since i doubt you unlocked your BL, in that case just flash the stock ftf for your phone

First, ur firmware version cant be rooted (need to downgrade to .58) with that tool.
Second, that tool is for rooting, not to unlock ur bootloader.
Third, "unlock bootloader allowed: yes" means u can unlock it, doesnt mean it already unlocked or rooted.
U have a lot misunderstanding man. Learn more...

@chepoz thanks now i understand a little.
if u have wt19i or any other android device than i want to know is rooting is really a necessary for hiding app icon from launcher.
i m not so tech person
or what r the risk in after rooting the phone
unlock bootloader allowed: yes is this due to script which was i run on manufacturer permission
becaz i afraid about my warranty.
There are no risks in rooting your phone, as that merely allows for certain apps to run certain functions (it all depends on what you do with those apps, i.e if you overclock or undervolt wrongly using apps for this you might fry your phone)
It is not due to the script, some devices can unlock bootloader thorugh sony official method (those marked bootloader allowed yes), if it says bootloader allowed No one would have to use testpoint or wotan server method if this doesn't work
Rooting does not void warranty, unlocking bootloader does.
if have the xperia x10 mini pro sim unlocked by software if change the stock 2.1 rom to another rom, the Sim unlock will be gone?
No, SIM unlock is independent of the ROM. dont worry, flash another rom.
thanks for the answer.
i'm asking this because I read somewhere that if you sim unlocked the device by Software the unlock me be gone, but if you unlocked by imei it won't be gone

You're confused with bootloader unlock and sim unlock. Sim-unlock allows you to use any network-provider on your phone, Bootloader-unlock allows you to install a custom kernel to your phone.
If you want to unlock the bootloader to flash a custom kernel, your network may be lost, because your phone wasn't sim-unlocked using an imei code, but it's not that your sim-lock is activated again.
You can get your network back by flashing back to stock Sony Ericsson kernel and then restoring your bootloader using S1Tool.
