Hello guys.. Firstly am a noob. i really need help. got question to ask from you guys. recently i try to install custom jelly bean to my x10.
Along way to do that i made a mistake. now my x10 lost radio capability.
it will ask for SIM NETWORK UNLOCK CODE each time i reboot.
theres a lot threads similar to my issue.yes i know. the different is my x10 bootloader is unlockable.
so i cant relock the bootloader like suggested from other threads. i've tried with SEtool. nothing to restore it says.
i think its happen becoz i try to unlock my bootloader TWICE while i didnt realize my bootloader is unlockable. well am a noob..
can anybody help me with this issue please?
With new XPERIA smartphones you are not able to use PC Companion(PCC) or Sony Ericcsson Update Service(SEUS) when the bootloader is unlocked to restore the official firmware.
However, the XPERIA X10i is able to restore the firmware via PCC or SEUS, whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked.
Have you tried following the instructions to restore the phone firmware using PCC or SEUS supplied by Sony Mobile with the phone attached to a PC?
[update]
You did check if the bootloader could be unlocked in the service menu first?
*#*#7378423#*#*
Service Info - > SIM Lock -> [] SIM 0

yeah i tried to restore the phone firmware using both PCC and SEUS.its not working. no new update for your phone/your phone is up to date.
even with repair the answer still the same.
service info - SIM lock :
[ ] Network 5
[ ] Network subset 5
[ ] Service provider 5
[ ] Corporate 5
[ ] SIM 0
And my location & security - lock SIM card is permanent "checked."
already disable it using SIM with pin. reboot,again it is checked.
any idea so i can fix this?
if you ask me how do i know whether my bootloader can be unlock or not i did check it with sony website.
also with setool after doing some research from here mostly.well after my x10 loss its radio capability of course.

Go to dialer and press *#*#service#*#* (service being the numbers 7378423)
Then there a option you can look at which tells you if bootloader is unlocked
Although by the sounds of it, it is
Hit thanks if I helped!

You can try flashing custom kernel via fastboot, and start phone.
About wotan server, you must be doing something wrong, because if you unlocked BL by test point, you can use SEUS, PC companion or wotan server.

It just say if your BL is unlockable.
Hi guys!!
I tried to follow this guide, but I can't continue, I stuck in step 5 of Unlocking the Bootloader.
I have install android-sdk and added the line in udev correctly.
Note that I'm using Ubuntu!
My Phone:
Code:
Model ------------> SK17i
Android version --> 2.3.4 (official ROM, obviously)
Build version ----> 4.0.2.A.0.62
Bootloader -------> Locked :(
PD: This device is Vodafone!
Hi, i can be wrong but i think there is no drivers for linux.
When you hold your volume button up and connect your phone, S1 BOOT device should appear, and you must have driver for it.
Only then it will detect your phone and successfully communicate with it.

He want's to unlock the bootloader first, not rooting!
Go to Phone, enter this *#*#7378423#*#*
Then choose Service Info-Configuration
Bootloader unlock allowed, is it Yes or No?
Also, is your phone locked to a network?

The bootloader (of my device) is locked, Unlock allowed = NO.
I think that my phone is locked by network, Vodafone is very stupid!!
Thank you!! Regards!!
Exactly, since it says Unlock Allowed: No, then you cannot unlock it with official method.
If you can use other operator SIM in that phone, then phone doesn't have network lock, if you can't use other SIM, then phone has network lock.
I run wotanserver on my Ray with a carrier locked bootloader hoping i got an unlocked one (dont care about SIM lock), but after booting the recently flashed rom, i checked the service tool and it's still locked! and not allowing me to unlock it!
any ideas?

That's weird.. wotan server unlocks sim lock using the test point, so it was supposed to unlock your phone's bootloader too.. maybe you did something wrong.. xD
any way, check this out:
[Unlock Bootloader]Xperias 2011 unlock for free.
yes, i've been trying omnius-server and S1tool for the last 3h!
im using an home made testpoint.
omnius-server doesnt seem to recognise it, and s1 ends with this error:
qcReceivePacket: can't get packet start

IMEI: 11w33
so i need some help if i root and install a custom rom i able to unlock the phone? and how ?
Thank you guys!!!
If it says that you can't unlock, you can try something through Wotan, but I don't have any experience with that. If you don't want to perform any risks you can always install stock-based ROM (Zelly Cream, Viper etc.) even without unlocked bootloader.
Hmmm...you must be confuse with operator lock and bootloader lock....
Operator lock is when you can only use one services provider on your phone....you cannot use any other services provider...if you phone can use different services provider then your operator lock has been unlock...
Bootloader lock meanwhile is a lock that prevent you to use custom kernel on your phone...still you can use custom roms that is base on stock kernel...since in services menu you bootloader unlock allowed = no, you cant unlock your bootloader (correct me if i'm wrong)....trying to unlock it means that you have 99% chances of bricking your phone....
FYI : Wotan server is for unlocking operator lock not for unlocking bootloader (correct me if i'm wrong).....
Ok but i dont know if i install a new rom i lose my unlock or i have them with the new rom?

Yes wotan server is for unlocking operator lock all round the country...you should check it out first but are you sure your phone is operator lock??? did you try to put other sim card from different operator into your phone??? does other sim card work??? if is not working then i believe it is operator lock....

had once tried to update ( w seus) but the phone was dead. I'm afraid that if I try again, it happens again and I do not want to bring back to repairing service center. recently to a service also said that they will not be updated over the phone (say I do not understand why). it would be advisable to first figure out how to be unlocked and maybe i might see why the phone dies.

Hmmm....if you haven't unlock the bootloader then updating using SEUS will not brick your phone....phone with unlock bootloader cannot use SEUS to update...only Flashtool can help unlock bootloader update the firmware....
as for your problem, if you are afraid to use SEUS again the use Flashtool....you can find Flashtool and all the necessary files (stock ttf, kernel, custom kernel and custom roms) HERE.....
Hello XDA Community
I have had my Sony Xperia Z ultra Since last year and i've never been able to Unlock the Bootloader...whenever i've tried it just doesn't work almost makes me not want the device as i cant stand the stock Sony Xperia UI.
First off the normal method ive tried just never works
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER:
This may wipe your phone, so backup your stuff
• Go to Sony's dev site
• Request the unlock key and check your mail straight away. Email is quick these days.
• Open Flashtool on your computer (yes, the one you installed earlier)
• Click the "BLU" icon
• Follow the steps and enter your unlock key
Quick note...If i type *#*#7378423#*#* into the keypad and continue the steps i get to the Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed and its always said Bootloader not allowed...now i don't know if that means anything or with a bit of hope ill still be able to Unlock my Phone...
My phone is a contract phone with o2 here in the uk and even trying to return the phone is impossible as they tell me all the time are you asking to unlock the device for use with a different network
I've done my best to explain to them no its the bootloader and they tell me i shouldn't be messing with the device etc etc etc etc.....
anyways theres no way of convincing them and am stuck with this exact phone...i dunno what else to do if even trying to unlock bootloader will ever work for me
" If Bootloader unlock allowed and its always said Bootloader not allowed."
Thats the problem.
You could look at installing a theme or maybe monx's ROM

This means that your bootloader is unlockable from the factory. There's no work around for this.
