hi all
i got my x10 mini from a friend. he said that when he bought it, it was sim locked. so he unlocked the phone.
if i unlock the bootloader it will restore the original sim lock of the phone?
if yes, there is any free way of sim unlocking x10 mini?
It depends on how he unlocked the phone,

the tutorials say that if the output from S1tool is
"SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader can be unlocked
"NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader cannot be unlocked
i have "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" and i know i can unlock my bootloader
but my question is:
after unlock it, will still restore the original sim lock?
Or for other word:
does the S1tool output refers to the possibility of unlocking the bootloader, or refers to the restore of the original?
i don't know if i can really help cause i not really a expert, but i think what they say with
"SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader can be unlocked
is if you have the semc simlock it will still be sim unlocked.
not really sure about it.
mine was SEMC SIMLOCK and after the bootloader was unloloked, the sim unlock was still working fine.

was your phone original unlocked?
yes it was, havent really tought about it.
really dont know if its the same thing
Well, I never used a locked phone, but the linked post says:
if your phone unlocked by setool2 software, use msm7227_setool2.cmd
if your phone unlocked by 3rd-party software other than setool2, do not run anything -
it will disable radio capability of your phone and you will need to unlock phone by setool2 software.

What I understand from the text is that if he unlocked the phone using anything different from setool2, it will disable the radio, but that it can be restored afterwards by using setool2.
Edit: not sure however why "do not run anything" would be in bold if it could be reverted afterwards

Because the simunlock to restore radio with setool does cost money

i think my phone was not unlocked by setool because i have the "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" output in S1tool
According to the unlocking bootloader guide post (here):
5. If you had
1: the SEMC SIMLOCK CERTFICATE message or if you
2: unlocked your phone using EMMA/IMEI code
3: or if your phone was already unlocked when you bought it (first-hand phone)
4: or if your phone is sim-locked, or if...
THEN
run msm7227_semc.cmd in the directory you unzipped the unlocking files to and press any key to start the unlocking process
So i know i can unlock my bootloader
My question is if i will loose the sim network unlock and the phone will revert to sim locked?
no one knows?
i guess i will try it anyway
Hi all.
I have xperia mini pro sk 17i unlocked on vip mobile serbia. In service info configuration / rooting status was alowed boootloader unlock =no. After unlock with setool no alowed bootloader unlock =yes. I'm tryed unlocked bootloader with SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking_1.6, but, i got a message error unlockng bootloader bootloader already unlocked! How i can check does this bootloader unlocked finally or not? Please help. )
Its unlocked,if you dont believe me just try to flash custom kernel.
i think your bootloader is already unlock .
Youu must check it in setool, or s1tool, i don't remeber..
I get this and I do not know if this unlocked for any telephone company;
Looks like it has a simlock, but I'm not sure
Go to the service menu -> configuration ->
Code:
Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed:
and if it says
Code:
Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: no
I guess the phone is locked...
(normally the bootloader is independent, but some carriers make it unlockable!)
Hello. I've been receving this message "NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" when I try to identify my phone with s1tool. And for me it's a very dissapointing thing, because i've been trying to unlock bootloader so i can flash a new kernel but everywhere I look it says that because of the message i get, i can't unlock it.
So my question is; Is there a way to unlock bootloader, even if I get this message? Is there a (magical) way to flash a custom kernel with a locked bootloader?
Any anwser will be very apreciated and helpful!
I've got a Z2 from friend which is both Sim locked and Bootloader locked with Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No.
However, my friend did something with hex editing to change this status from No to Yes. He didn't make a TA backup. Now it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Unknown and phone has no service and camera crashes. Any solution to bring the phone back to life?
