hey guys, hope anyone can help me with this problem...
my phone is X10 and it was locked to 3 sweden ... i unlocked it using ominus. it worked very good for like 3 weeks. after that i wanted to instal a rom but it requires me to unlock the bootloader.. i did that using x10_bootloader_unlock_011 program. ( i forget where i downloaded it) . then after that i installed the rom succesfuly and it worked fine... now i dont get network and my phone doesnt read my sim card!!
when i remove the sim card from the phone, it says on the lockscreen that there is no sim card inserted. but when my sim card inside the phone it doesnt say that on the lockscreen.. i changed the baseband on my phone to 2 deffrent basebands and it still the same problem.. i put my sim card in another phone and it works fine but when i insert any other sim in my x10 its still says the same thing and it doesnt change anything..
any help plz??
thanks

Try going back to stock ROM without root.... if you sim unlocked the phone then you should have the code.. use the same code and it might unlock.... I unlocked my phone by calling my service provider and asking them(AT&T, USA) .. they unlock phone after 3 months of use.... so try calling your service provider also...

thanks for your replay. I didnt unlocked the phone using code. And it doesnt ask me anywhere to enter any unlock code so i dont think i would need to call my service network to help me in anything. And i did also back to stock rom ( 2.3 ) and i still have the problem!!

So you unlocked sim or unlocked bootloader ? If its sim unlock then Call your service provider and ask for unlock code if the phone is older than 3 months.. they will give you some numbers... if you get and if you enter them you should be good to go... if its not unlocked then this problems, should not come in the first place...

did you check if your bootloader is unlockable by using s1tool before trying to do so.

I think thats the problem
You network unlocked your phone using omnius so if you unlock your bootloader you lose your network .
As far as i know you need to re unlock your network using setool and then try to unlock your bootloader

No the problem in reality is this:
You can only unlock your bootloader successfully if your phone is network unlocked from company or network unlocked from setool. If you try to unlock your bootloader if either of above conditions aren't met, you lose your network .
S1tool just shows your sim certificate. If it is semc or setool sim certificate you can unlock bootloader without problem. But as u see your sim certificate is not that so you lost network.
The solution is to re lock bootloader using flashtool.
Re unlock your network using setool ( i reallly dont know how ) .
Then try unlocking bootloader.
This is what i have heard.

According to ya pic, You have lost ya baseband. Flash 2.1.71 for your 2.3.3 ROM. Baseband affects radio receiver and gsm including mobile signal transmission. And if ya didnt update ya phone officially, baseband 2.1.54 willbe unusable in 2.3.3 and above. 2.1.71 baseband
Or i have 3.0.1.G.0.75 kernel+baseband (which is 2.1.71) ftf link for locked bootloader under my signature newcomer link download thefile, try relock ya bootloader, flash the ftf. And using stock rom to unlock bootloader once again. Ya prob should be solved. Hope helps

FIRST OF ALL,i would like to thank the_laser for providing us with the tools http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253277
I Noticed a lot of confusion here in the process of Unlocking BL -me was one of the confused- so please make sure to do/notice those points before/during unlocking procedure
THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR CAUTIONS. actual steps are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
THANKS TO 9Lukas5
IF U DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE FLASHTOOL FOLLOW http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
FOR GUIDANCE about SIM lock and which patch to use refer to 9Lukas5's thread and replies.
BUT generally use "qsd8250_semc" if ur phone came
1.pre-unlocked
2.unlocked by code
and use "qsd8250_setool2" if u have unlocked it with "setool"
ANYWAY u can always use the other patch if ur signal is lost after using the first.-i have less knowledge about this issue as my phone came pre-unlocked and didn't try to unlock another one-.
FIRST OF ALL
1.USB Port not broken -can't do any upgrade or unlocking with a broken one-.
2.enabled "unknown sources" from settings/applications
3.enabled "USB debugging" from settings/applications/development. -should display "USB debugging connected" in notifications bar after USB connection IF NOT: pls flash another ROM and root it using aZUZU method as UNlocking won't work for u-.
AFTER FLASHING downgrade aZUZU kernel
4.MAKE sure ur FLASHTOOL -GB ready version- recognize the phone after SE logo displays on ur phone -FLASHTOOL should say "xperia x10 connected" then shows ur busybox version.
5. IF it doesn't recognized ur phone pls...UPDATE ur SE PC COMPANION.
6.if u don't like to update PC companion..USE THIS METHOD as 9Lukas5 describes
You don't need to update pccp or seus. Try the following:
1. open the drivers manager of your pc
2. connects phone in flashmode (without running any program like flashtool, seus or pccp)
3. check if there appears an unkown device, which wasn't there before (if not go on, if yes read under the line in this post further on)
4. no unknown device? Good
5. turn on phone and connect usb cable again and check again for unknown devices
__________________________________________________ ___________________________________
If there is an unknown device, download flashtool 0.3.0.0 (it contains the 2.3.3 adb and flash drivers)
1. In Flashmode is an unknown device: Go to flashtool 0.3.0.0 folder then to drivers and install the exe file you find there
2. After turning on there is an unknown device: extract the x10 drivers archive in the drivers subfolder of flashtool 0.3.0.0 and search manually in that folder for the drivers of the unkown device, then they should be installed.
3. Now check again like I described it above the line for unknown devices, if you can't see them now, try again to unlock your bl.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7.be sure u have disabled all antivirus services and turn off ur firewall
8.close flashtool before starting to unlock BL
9.kill all processes named adb.exe by ur task manager "ctrl+alt+delete/start task manager/processes/sort by name/then kill adb.exe"
DURING UNLOCKING PROCEDURE
10.IF messages like "killing adb server..error" appears. pls make sure again u did points 6+7+8.
11.U HAVE TO WAIT A while and phone reboots in the process
DURING FLASHING Doom kernel v4.0 or stock
12. if messages like start flashing then abort flashing -with GB ready FLASHTOOL- or sending loader then along wait after flashing kernel .sin-with older FLASHTOOL - then u haven't probably unlocked ur BL . SO PLS don't bother ur self trying to re flash the kernel and check if ur bootloader is still locked
DID U follow steps+cautions?!!
13.to CHECK the status of ur bootloader pls download s1tool from
press "DO job" then connect ur phone in flash mode -green LED light-.
14. IF ur phone is UNLOCKED then status should be like this:

RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A033"
NOTICE THE LOWER CASE letter "r" in "RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A033""
14.IF it isn't unlocked u would see UPPER CASE "R" like "R8A033" then try again with more caution then refer back to the thread
AFTER COMPLETEING THE PROCEDURE
15.of course u will see "XPERIA" Logo instead of "SONY ERICSSON" what Doomkernel u chose -v04b or v04-FS-.
16. 'SE' logo stll appears in cases:
1.u still on ur old kernel.
Or
2.u flashed Doom's stock kernel for unlocked bl.
Hi, very good for scared ones to have that thread. One suggestion, I added it to my how-to just now, but it's not needed to update pccp or seus, you only need the 2.3.3 adb/flash drivers. I have uploaded a file which only contains the drivers and explained in the third post of my how-to how to check if a driver update is needed and how to make it. Much easier as use the crappy se programs^^

there's a member who used "qsd8250_setool2" for locked sim and had no signal then used "qsd8250_semc' and it worked and restored his signal back
about what S1TOOL SAYS:
Mine displayed: SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
and i could unlock it
Some others display:NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
can't assure that they can't unlock bl... I say try to unlock ur SIM first
And...As i said previously,there r member who unlocked his bl with locked SIM

Me too!!
I actually got cought in the confusion of "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE"; I thought that it meant that my phone was unlocked using setool2 (because my phone was already unlocked when I bought it, and I don't know how it was unlocked). Anyways with "qsd8250_setool2" I lost the signal and with "qsd8250_semc" I was able to restore it, but only thanks to that post that you mention, because otherwise I would have panic and would't be able to do anything else
I checked my phone with the s1 tool and it showed lower case r, but at boot it still show the Sony Ericsson text Is anyone aware of this? Is my phone bootloader unlocked?

It is indeed, you just haven't flashed a 'real' custom kernel yet.

If you haven't flashed any custom kernel for unlocked bl yet, your bl is unlocked, but the se kernel is still used --> se logo appears. If you want to disappear the se logo, flash custom kernel for unlocked bl.

Ahh.. Forgot to mention that I did flashed the DoomLord's custom kernel for bootloader unlocked.. But the situation remain unchanged I was just curious if my BL is unlocked properly
try reflashing the kernel and have an eye on it it gives you any security error, if yes, your bl isn't unlocked. Or test with the s1 tool from the laser, if you can't see a lower case letter, bl isn't unlocked yet.

No problem to use STOCK kernel
Hello,
probably I did a failure in flashing ROM or Kernel (without SIM Card), and now GSM is not working (tested with two different SIMs / Eplus and t mobile). In Network search I see several provider (Eplus, O2, T-Mobile, Vodafone), but phone is not able to connect suitable provider. Both SIM-Cards work in other phone.
To repair I did following:
- PC Companion Repair - flashed Stock ROM
- SEUS flashed Stock Rom
- Flashing Stock-ROM with bootloader
- Bootloader unlock
- Root again
- Other Kernel /ROMs
All measure without success. Result in all cases were that phone can't log in.
I checked SIMlock Certificate by S1 Tool. Result was (at the moment 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 v6):
S1_EPROM VER "r8A029"

Has somebody an idea ?

PS: Unfortunately I posted this question before in a wrong segment (Development). Maybe a moderator could be so kind to delete wrong post ? Sorry again..
Try these steps maybe
It includes relocking the bootloader, according to your output from S1tool it is still unlocked...

Hi SmG67,
the hint that my phone is still unlocked and the link was very helpful. I flashed Stock ROM again and additional I relocked the bootloader (first I had problems because S1tool version in XDA forum probably is old and had no Relock-button - but after googling I found current version of S1tool) - and thats great - phone works now - I can call again.
Thanks a lot - a phone without calling function is terrible...
Regards Odiad
glad it helped, enjoy your phone
Hi, so first i'd like to express my thanks for the whole xda community, helped me before and hopefully it will help me again.
I recently got Xperia X10i from a relative for free but it's locked in Orange, France.
I live in another country and as such will need to use a different network. After scooping around, searching the xda forum high and low on how to unlock it I came up empty handed so to say.
Now the question is can sim unlock be done on this phone (will post full details lower) free or under a fiver? Since i got it for free and I already have a phone I use I'm not willing to pay more to unlock it, I'd rather sell it dirt cheap or something. Please not I am also willing to test almost anything with it since it won't bother me much if it breaks.
Details on the phone and what I did with it so far:
Relevant text behind battery:
Sony Ericsson X10i
Type: AAAB
FCC ID: CB5
IC: 4170B-A3880056 10W19
SI: 1232-4310
Imei: 359419036396884
Tests I did so far:
It had android 1.6, so i updated it first using pc compannion to 2.3 > worked
After that rooted it using flashtool 0.7 > worked
Tried unlocking bootloaed with same version > error (seems it's a software error in this latest version)
Downgraded to a generic 2.1 using flashtool 0.6.9 > worked
Rooted again with flashtool > worked
Using the BL unlock plugin i get a WARN CANC error
Using the S1 tool Identify i get the following:
Code:
Welcome to S1 tool.

In the service menu (which by the way was not accesible through the *#*# command on the phone but i accesed it through a apk here on xda installed through flashtool) under Service Info > Configuration the Rooting Status line is not present.
I remember reading somewhere in a youtube guide that some models of X10 can get sometimes sim unlocked when they are being bootloader unlocked.
Also i read somewhere that if the S1 tool shows RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A033" with a lower R then the bootloader is unlocked already?
I've been reading a bit about the setool2 utility and the test point things but that looks like hard short circuiting something and before doing that I'd like to make sure there is no other way.
If you need any other info i'll be happy to oblige and thanks for any helpful comment.
P.S. Forgot to mention a couple of things:
I never tried to install a full custom ROM but at some point I did install Doomlord's custom kernel with some recovery thing.
Also under Service Info > SIN lock > [x] Network 0
and the rest are with []
So ... can anyone offer a good advice? I've been reading up a bit and seems it can be sim unlocked even if it has 0 tries left with a paid software. Some opinions about which service offers most reliability and low cost?
yeah im too on t-mobile right now and want to unlock my sim, is there any chance to do that?
x10 unlock
any luck with the unlock process?
Hi all,
I've just received an unlock code from Orange but I cannot enter it as the screen to do so does not show up when entering a SIM from a different network. It simply says no SIM is inserted, restart phone.
After trawling google, I have found that this is due to the boot loader being unlocked. Using SETOOL it says:
RUNNING S1_EROM VER "R8A031"

FILESYSTEM VERSION: WORLD-1-4-8_3.0.1.G.0.75
SERIAL NO: CB511PUP3Z
NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
MAYBE YOU SHOULD UNLOCK PHONE BY SETOOL2 ?
I'm aware that the "NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" indicates it is locked to the orange network or something along those lines now due to something with the unlocking of the bootloader. But what I want to do is relock the bootloader so that I can use the unlock code. Initially I had flashed it using Flashtool 0.9.10.1, also rooted it through Flashtool and then unlocked the bootloader.
Since then I have used the repair facility through PC Companion with no joy as it still does not work. I'm not interested in the phone being flashed or rooted anymore, I just simply want to be able to use the phone on whatever network I want.
Any additional information that might be needed:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: 2.1.71
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537
Build Number: 3.0.1.G.0.75
If anyone can help me with this I would be eternally grateful, thanks!
Its Locked already, maybe u done something wrong when unlock network.

Hi!
I use flashtool for flashing my SE x10i
When i wanted to flash a new firmware, i clicked on BLRelock.ftf by mistake....... Since than i haven't got radio capability. When I turn it on, it says "Please insert a sim card". If it matters my phone was debranding....
I tried lots of method, but I always failed.
Please somebody help ASAP.!
Thank you the answers in advance :'(
Hey there, i have this same issue, except my x10i kps rebooting or just freezes up whilst dn sumin with it, eg, running apps. I received phone frm my boet, we bth have no knowledge as to what had hapnd to the phone, bt suspect water damage, because if i take the cover off the bk, those pink dots on the white paper that shows that there has bn water intrusion, well at least thats what i think it myt be. I have 4 batteries, bt none undr a 2.5yr and oldest 2008, thats 5 years old. Bt sumin also tells me i shd try to purchase a new battery. No matr what sim i pt in it wont register. Bt look, i received it dead as a doornail, and nw it runs bt cnt kp running stable. I too used flashtool, i pt phone in debug n unknwn sources. It seems to lock up while this debug nw runs. i have rooted, im nt sure whether i did succesful recovery, i upgraded from 2.1 to 3 havn to flash several times. Because it freezes or restarts so i end up with no choices i cn think abt. If the debug runs successfully whats next? Turn it off and then? I just aint getn nowhere? I thought maybe phne puln too much power frm batries, bt it even reboots, restarts or freezes when on a normal ericson charger, or with laptop usb cable attached. I dnt knw what to do? Bt im gna have a onceover again, maybe i misd sumin bt that radio part, i hardly knw how these things work, bt im all ears to any ideas. Thanx in advance

I had a similar problem. I wanted to lock the bootloader and i've clicked restore in s1tool. After relock bootloader my SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE changed to SETOOL2 SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE. I do not know why. Phone died. I try different things. Once again i've unlock the bootloader using qsd8250_setool2.cmd file. After that, my X10 alive.
Like epulrevo says, first check phone by s1tool. I bet that you will have SETOOL2 SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE.

I might be a little bit stupid, but one more question:
Do I have to unlock the bootloader or debranding my phone?

Unlock bootloader, because your bootloader is relock improperly.

Can you write down how can I do that? And which program do you recommend? Just because all of my trying failed I tried to do it with flashtool and s1tool too.
I wanted to ask, with the debranding files available which wd i choose for South Africa cause i still have this problem. Kp getn your simcard does nt allow connections to this network? And the sim will pick up 4 networks i cn chose from, bt when i chose appropriate network thats the message i get. And the signal bar has a red x above it. I cn still use the phone for data via wifi bt its a phone also made for calls? Also another thing i lost my mem card with my xRecovery on it, the FT icon for recovery remains faded, cn i make another recovery? When i let FT reboot to recovery then it will either nt boot unless i remove the batry or it will basically just reboot bk to android, bypassing the recovery boot, it did work when i had my other mem card... hope im nt imposing here with that q. Thanks for any advice in advance.
