hi guys, why so many users bricked there x10 mini/pro? so to prevent a disaster to your x10 mini/pro read this tips... sorry for additional time...
Deleting X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf
-open the flashtool folder to C:\ Drive
or search the flashtool folder via start menu
-open firmwares folder and delete a bricker called X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf...
make sure you have the right kernel for your X10mini/pro before you do the flashing process with flashtool...
Unlocking The bootloader:
other users bricked there x10mini/pro, to prevent the disaster follow this
-check the manufacturing date of your x10 mini/pro in the white sticker
ex.10W23(Which is mine)
note: If yours is 11W29 or later, Dont try to unlock your phone(it will cause a hardbrick)
For those who cant unlock there bootloader because of 11WXX manufacturing date:
Download any gingerbread rom base from stock rom like MiniCM7Pro by bpaul, etc
Thats it....

11w29 or later is the magic brick, 11w28 and earlier is safe.

my x10 mini pro's manufacturer date is 11W19. so i can unlock bootloader succesfully or not?
Yes, you can, but read carefully all instructions to avoid problems, like bootloop.
yes u can......just use SE Tweaker Tool v3.3...it's more easier to do it
Hi every one, my brother has an Xperia NEO MT15i, android version is 2.3.4, and the build number is 4.0.2.A.0.62
Anyway, he wants to root it and unlock the boot loader and he also wants to overclock (which will need a custom kernel)
My brother is a noob in android so he seeked for my help because I've rooted and S-off my HTC wildfire. But of course, HTC devices are different from Sony devices so actually I got lost while browsing the Neo forum.
I've found a way to root but its for build number 4.0.2.A.0.42
So if 62 is unrootable I'll need to downgrade to 42 first which also I don't know how to do it.
So I need a way to successfully root build 62 or downgrade to 42
Thanks in advance.

well my friend if you want to start testing custom rom's and making OC with your phone here is the official tool from sony to unlock your bootloader http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
then with the BL unlocked you can easily downgrade but for downgrade I recommend that you use this program "Flashtool" you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351317
this program is very user friendly just hit the lightning and there are all the options but you have to know some hardware combinations like if you want to change the build you have to turn off the phone keep press back button and plug your phone to the pc with this you can put your phone en flashmode and for changing kernel's again phone off you press menu button and plug your phone your notification led should be blue and this is the fastboot mode, for the recovery mode when you flash an OC kernel with recovery just turn on your phone keep your eyes on the notification LED and when you see that turns on hit volume (-) in there you can install all custom rom's and stock rom's
i warn you that when you unlock your BL you can't upgrade your phone via OTA (over the air) because it will brick your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316394
here you can find all the kernels, Roms and the firmwares
enjoy flashing
Read sticky threads in neo and neo v section, that way you will get fast inside view into Xperia Neo(V), ways of unlocking Xperia bootloader and flashing custom kernels. Also you can read sticky threads in Xperia Arc.
unlock boot loader,flash a custom kernel(recommend nightelf's latest for gingerbread) and install rootxperia zip via cwm recovery.google for root xperia zip.
Nightelf's kernel comes with cwm pre-installed

Hello XDA
I'm in the same situation than the user, but with one difference, under the service menu, my phone says "bootloader unlocking status: No"
Does that mean that I can't unlock it without paying or I still can do it for free under S1Tool?
My phone was bought simlocked to the Vodafone Spanish carrier.

Pay method only.
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.

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.
So I've finally upgraded from my x10 mini pro to the xperia U and i planned to break into development on this device but i seam to have hit a wall.
following the instructions here;
unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
It seams I'm one of the unfortunate few with "Bootloader unlock allowed no". has anyone found an exploit to get around this slight snag?
Some more info;
Carrier = 3
Model = st25i - 12w32

Hello!
I want to install a custom rom, but EVERY rom has a Unlocked Bootloader.
It's okay, but every bootloader's tutorial have a very big important like this:
"If your phone's manufacture date is 11W29 or PAST 11W29, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER. IT WILL MOST LIKELY RESULT IN A HARD BRICK (though some users managed to successfully unlock)."
My phone's manufacture date is 11W49.
So, what can i do?
Sony XPERIA X10 mini pro
With many thanks, SnikerFreak

My suggestion is not to try n unlock ur bootloader as chances of survival are less...some users have also managed to unlock with 11W29 and past...good luck matters..:good: sometimes...
