[Q] blocked sim card on x10 after unlocking BL - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

ok good, i just relocked BL but i just checked in the ( about phone ) and i sow unknown baseband!! i just flashed baseband 58 now and its stuck on SE screen.. what is the baseband for the last android update on x10i?
and for setool, if i will use it, i will have to buy box. else, the program wont start.. so the only way is unlocking it by Ominus and keep the BL locked... all i want now is just be able to use the phone!! its really sucks without android in my life lol
again thanks for your replays, it really means lots to me

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
