Hi,
This will fix your unlocked Phones which got bricked through OTA update and are dead now!
Please download this package:
http://www.multiupload.com/Q103V01CV1 [Corrected Package; thanks blagus for finding the problem]
Let it extract to a destination of your choice.
After that run Flashtool.exe.
Now hit the button FLASH and select the package which is included.
Follow the steps and connect your phone in flashmode. This is the same mode Pc Companion and SEUS uses to flash your phone to newer firmare (Indicated by green LED), if you got BLUE LED you are in the wrong mode!
Flashtool will now detect your phone and start the repair.
After all is done your phone should be up and running again, if not please reflash with original firmware and WIPE userdata!
ADVICE:
PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTA'S ! If you receive a OTA message just decline, if you accept it you will end with a brick AGAIN! So please do NOT accept them until SonyEricsson provides a OTA solution for unlocked Bootloaders!
Best Regards
Team FreeXperia
does it fix the radio ?
I think it does
I'll test it tonight
Flashtool seems to have a problem, Androxyde will look this evening into the problem.

If you got Flashing Error -----> Aborted your phone won't be flashed ... so radio will not be modified ...
Did you guys not read what binary said? Flashtool has a problem flashing this package, it is prob to do with the modified trim area, the flashtool dev will look at it tonight

Hmm, I got an idea... Vodafone phones with fastboot capability are sim-locked, and after bl unlock they're sim-unlocked too. What if we manage to enable fastboot, then re-run oem unlock to try to rebuild simlock?
1 - Flashed with the Fix
2 - Flashed with Generic UK
3 - Turned on the play and still no radio
I am getting no signal and insert sim card msg
Good Luck Guys ;/ and thanks for your effort on making this work.
Thanks guys, I know you wrote a wonderful tool to save our phone, but it still no signal and simcard not found. my arc became a "iTouch" now. only the music and wif internet.
Thanks once again
It's stated in first post, the Fix cannot only Fix your phone if you are in DEAD STATE.
If you already tryied the other trick it's too late sorry!
Now you have to use a payserver to remove simlock, there is no other way.

Hello again
Sometimes we can brick our devices by a bad unlock, flashing process, or simply bad luck.
The phone doesn't turn on and there is a Red Led Of Death when pressing power button. Even with a GREEN led when we plug the phone with back key pressed the computer detect the phone as "unknown device" so there is no chance to get fixed by Flashtool or SEUS/PC Companion.
Well this problem normally means that the bootloader is broken or damaged. So, in order to fix it we need to write a new SEMCboot and after this we were able to flash a full and fresh firmware with flashtool and unbrick our Xperia.
This process like unlocking process requires SETool dongle/box and a paperclip to make a testpoint to put the phone in flash mode and be able to write the SEMCBoot.
I can help to anyone with a bricked Xperia Arc/Play/Neo/Pro just make send me a PM.
Like unlocking process you will need this 3 programs:
SETool software for unlocking
USB Over network client for remote dongle
Teamviewer client for remote support and guide
THIS PROCESS IS FREE
anyway if you want me to buy a Dr. Peper just
Sometimes even after fix the bootloader the phone doesn't want to boot. In most cases this is by a damaged TRIM AREA (TA).
The trim area is a part of softwere stored in eeprom so it can be read and write with the proper software like SETool.
Read and Write trim area is very easy but you should know that some sectors of the TA are unique for you phone, lets call it Security Units.
The process for repair trim area is indeed very easy.
For sure we need Testpoint like in unlocking or bootloader repair process.
1. Backup Security Units with this script:
Code:
taread:00020851
taread:000207D3
taread:000207Da
2. Write a Working TA backup from another phone (same model)
3. Restore Security Units.
Thats all, now your phone should boot well but is 90% possible that you dont get Signal so for fix that we need to unlocking.
If this last thing is needed you can refer to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232050
This could be helpful
That's great news. Thanks

Ok i will try this on my r800at which is now r800a by means of firmware upgrade. But i have one question. In order to hit the testpoint my phone needs to have its battery removed and if that and the USB cable are both gone will pressing the Testpoint and the Power button at the same time do anything?
hi
yes you need battery inserted corectely for testpoint

can somebody please help me i just try to unlock the bootloader i followed your instructions. i use the command msm7227_semc.
after i press the button to continue then some text appear and seems to be working then i read some word like rooting, rebooting etc. after the phone starts then it shuts off. that's it i try to turn it on, and remove battery, connect to computer but there's no effect or it does'nt respond anymore. please help me i don't know what to do now. i try to surf the net of what seems to be the problem, someone says that the phone is dead and the only thing to get it work again is to JTAG it. is it true? thanks in advance and i 'm looking forward for your answer.
which method did u use? The developer method or the normal method. and which firmware are you on 2.1 or 2,3
Sir i use the method that posted in the link here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
i stop on this section because my phone shuts off and i cannot power it on
run msm7227_semc.cmd in the directory you unzipped the unlocking files to and press any key to start the unlocking process. Go to step 5b.
Sir ynkamat i know that you're an experience person on how to unlock bootloader, i already bring my x10 phone to Sony Ericsson service center here in the Philippines Manila. but they told me that they can't repair my phone anymore, because their computer can't detect my phone anymore. and they even don't know the term bootloader so i've decided to bring it to a fly by night cellphone technician and they will Jtag my X10 but in a condition that i'll pay $35 to jtag or repair my phone. i will get my phone tomorrow morning. sir after i get my phone can you please tell me what is the simple and more accurate method to use in order to unlock the bootloader. Thanks in advance and i appreciate all your help.
Hi zerolock1, firstly why did you refer to boot unlocking method of some other phones. The right method is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
Damn. To be very frank I couldnt unlock my bootloader via this method. So I downgraded my fw from 2.3 to 2.1 and we have a simple one touch tool for unlocking bootloader in the android development section. After that I upgraded back to 2.3 and I am happy to avail benefits of it.
Are u mad u are trying to unlock bootloader with wrong tool and it will brick everytime u are trying to unlock bootloader with x8 tool on x10?
U need this tool and guide here
Never try unlocking bootloader with the tool u tried and got bricked that tool is only for x8!!

Yes. He is the founder of that tool.

Hopeless?
I've done in my X10 and have attempted everything from here I can find. I can't unlock bootloader because it won't flash properly =( Always goes to 99% and fail. PCC, PCC repair, SEUS, Flashtool all fail
Since you're at least seeing the Sony Ericsson logo, there's still hope yet & your phone isn't a true brick (yet!). So you should be able to at the very least flash the 2.3.3 recovery image by DoomLord & get back to stock formware...
Are you sure you have all the proper drivers installed on the system...
problem
I have a problem when I put my x10 into flash mode it says Error in processHeader : 31 : A device attached to the system is not functioning.PLS help me...sry for my bad english
Dude, did u check your phone manufacture date? If it is past 11w29, then u might hardbrick ur phone. Mine is 11w04 and I unlocked bootloader.

Yes, the warning is for phones on or after 11w29.
Find S1Tool and press the identify button, it will give information about your phone. If it has SEMC Simlock certificate it is safe to unlock your bootloader, which you can do with Flashtool.
If it has 'unknown simlock certificate' it may disable your networking capabilities, so in that case it would still be unsafe.
bootloader
I used another tool (attachment)
just plug in the phone with debugging turned on and then open "msm7227_semc" from the zip and follow the instructions. When finished, just reboot your phone and you have a unlocked bootloader
Do you want to know what the point of an unlocked bootloader is? Or have I misunderstood your question?
Use the SE tweaker tool for unlockin bootloader. The link is there in my signature.

Hello all,
Got an xperia x10 of a friend, now im trying to do a hard reset on it by doing this -
Turning it off
Hold the bottom left and right key and then press the on button to try and get it to go into the bios thingy? (not sure what they call in on phones)
and it wont work it just turns on??
Getting annoying as im also thinking about rooting the phone and putting jelly bean or ICS on it but I cant as I cant get into the bios thing
Help would be great please
Sorry its an xperia x10i if that makes any difference
for the "BIOS" thing. Do you mean recovery?
if you don't have it then just get it via flashtool
There is no hard reset n x10 only soft reset,or do it by this way:
1 From the Xperia 10 Home screen, tap the applications bar.
2 Tap Settings > SD card & phone storage > Factory data reset > Reset phone.
3 Enter your screen unlock pattern.
4 Tap Erase everything.
or just use pc companion to wipe everything
Hello, Cheers for the replys, yes that's the recovery I meant, but hmm im new to all of this.
and cheers will give that wiping a go..
So my phone is currently on 2.3.3
all standard,
Can one of you or someone help me with the following,
First I need to unblock it as it is currently locked to virgin or tmobile I think and I would like to use either o2 or orange,
I would then like to Root it and then install ICS or JB on it
I have never done this before so as much help would be really appreciated
Thank
You need to find a shop or someone who uses setool 2 to unlock the phone as it will unlock the bootloader at the same time, if you use any other software to unlock the phone you wont have any network if you unlock the bootloader afterwards the only ways to have a signal is by unlocking with setool 2 or via the unlock code from the network provider, once your bootloader is unlocked you can proceed to flash an ics/jb rom just follow the instructions posted on which ever rom you want to install.
