Do you wanna know if you can unlock your bootloader? Then this is the thread for you.
Use this tool here: Bootloader Certificate Check
Here's how you will know if you can use the boot loader unlock tool. Follow all instructions on screen of the tool when you run it.
If you get at the end, "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE"
Then yes can, you can use the SEMC_qd8250 unlock batch file to unlock tool yours.
If you unlocked with SETOOL, then yes, you can too, I'm not sure what message that gives as yet, but I will proceed to find out.
But if you get, "SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE NOT RECOGNIZED"
then NO, you CANNOT, I repeat, you CANNOT unlock your bootloader, not as yet at least, when you can I will update this thread. IF you attempt unlocking it with this message, then you WILL lose your radio signal, and will only be able to restore this if you unlock via SETOOL, which I am unsure how to go about doing doing, since nothing has been said about this.
Can the mods help by stickying this thread please so all persons with this question can see? Thank you.
I'll try it, thanks!
thanks for this info i get this now i can unlock my bootloader SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
hi all
i got my x10 mini from a friend. he said that when he bought it, it was sim locked. so he unlocked the phone.
if i unlock the bootloader it will restore the original sim lock of the phone?
if yes, there is any free way of sim unlocking x10 mini?
It depends on how he unlocked the phone,

the tutorials say that if the output from S1tool is
"SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader can be unlocked
"NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader cannot be unlocked
i have "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" and i know i can unlock my bootloader
but my question is:
after unlock it, will still restore the original sim lock?
Or for other word:
does the S1tool output refers to the possibility of unlocking the bootloader, or refers to the restore of the original?
i don't know if i can really help cause i not really a expert, but i think what they say with
"SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" - the bootloader can be unlocked
is if you have the semc simlock it will still be sim unlocked.
not really sure about it.
mine was SEMC SIMLOCK and after the bootloader was unloloked, the sim unlock was still working fine.

was your phone original unlocked?
yes it was, havent really tought about it.
really dont know if its the same thing
Well, I never used a locked phone, but the linked post says:
if your phone unlocked by setool2 software, use msm7227_setool2.cmd
if your phone unlocked by 3rd-party software other than setool2, do not run anything -
it will disable radio capability of your phone and you will need to unlock phone by setool2 software.

What I understand from the text is that if he unlocked the phone using anything different from setool2, it will disable the radio, but that it can be restored afterwards by using setool2.
Edit: not sure however why "do not run anything" would be in bold if it could be reverted afterwards

Because the simunlock to restore radio with setool does cost money

i think my phone was not unlocked by setool because i have the "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" output in S1tool
According to the unlocking bootloader guide post (here):
5. If you had
1: the SEMC SIMLOCK CERTFICATE message or if you
2: unlocked your phone using EMMA/IMEI code
3: or if your phone was already unlocked when you bought it (first-hand phone)
4: or if your phone is sim-locked, or if...
THEN
run msm7227_semc.cmd in the directory you unzipped the unlocking files to and press any key to start the unlocking process
So i know i can unlock my bootloader
My question is if i will loose the sim network unlock and the phone will revert to sim locked?
no one knows?
i guess i will try it anyway

Hi. Im trying to unlock my bootloader on Xperia Neo (rooted, stock ICS firmware .587)
I tried Sony method from their site. I followed all instruction.
But after all, I got this message in command window: Unlock phone requested failed. Phone is already unlocked. But when i type *#*#7378423#*#* in my phone it says Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes.
I tried unlock it using flashtool too, but when i connect my phone, after a while i get message: Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked.
Can anybody help me?
From what i read, some carriers make it harder to unlock bootloader (Orange in PL for example). I would start from searching for people with the same mobile carrier yoy have on your "local" forums
