[Q] MT15i vs simlock and bootloader - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hello there.
I've recently bought a 'damaged' MT15i, the seller said "it's probably SIM locked, dunno, just doesn't work with my card". I've checked the service menu for sim lock - indeed, I found "[x] Network 5" there. I'm not entirely sure if the SIM card slot works properly, though.
I've tried three different SIM cards, each from a different operator. All of them gave me "No SIM Card" text on the lock screen, but it would seem that the phone reads the card anyway, as I'm being asked for PIN (only on the PIN-locked cards, of course).
QUESTION #1: Given that the phone reads the SIM card to the point of asking for PIN, can I safely assume that the SIM card slot is fully functional?
There's also "Bootloader unlock allowed: No" status mesage visible in the service menu. However, after identifying the phone in S1tool, I've got this:

I did some research and found out that the "r" at the beginning of loader and erom version indicates bootloader status - uppercase for locked, lowercase for unlocked. Flashtool also shows "Bootloader status: ROOTED" during the flashing.
QUESTION #2: Does it mean that the previous owner of the phone tried to unlock the bootloader using the testpoint method?
QUESTION #3: Is fastboot only accessible when "Bootloader unlock allowed" says "Yes"? // I'm asking this just to be sure, I've found some contrary informations around the internet
In case of getting some positive answers (especially to #1), I'm planning to use WotanServer to both SIM-unlock and Bootloader-unlock. I've read that using it switches "Bootloader unlock allowed" to "Yes". The last thing I'm not sure of is:
QUESTION #4: After a (hopefully) successful unlock with Wotan, should I do the official bootloader unlock procedure, if S1tool and Flashtool says that bootloader is unlocked?
Thanks in advance for any responses!
EDIT: I did some more searching, and learned that I should get a "SIM Network Unlock PIN" screen, where I could put a NCK code if I had one. It doesn't appear, though.
EDIT 2: S1tool's RESTORE option made the "SIM Network Unlock PIN" screen appear, I guess the question #1 is now answered. I've also noticed that the letters on EROM and loader version turned to uppercase.

Is my bootloader unlocked?

Since beginning I have bootloader not possible to unlock.
Since I used Wotan “Xperia neo Unlocker” to debrand my phone when I input *#*#7378423#*#* I see now that say bootloader unlock allowed.
When I connect phone to computer pressing the menu button I have blue light.
Can I just by this assume that my bootaloader is unlocked?
One way will be to try install something only allowed for unlocked bootloader but I don´t want to mess my phone or if is not unlocked simple nothing happen?
Thanks
It would seem that it's unlocked

Yes. Small r - Unlocked bootloader. Don't update firmware via FOTA
It seems that is not unlocked.
If it is unlocked, u can see a "yes" instead of "allow"

lol?
It always(of course on not branded phones) show "Yes", it never shows allow
After unlocking BL, nothing change in service menu, if it showed "Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes" than after unlocking it will show same
If it says "Bootloader unlock allowed:No" means that your fastboot is disabled, and after enabling it it will show "Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes" then you can ether unlock it(BL) yourself, or person who enabled your fastboot via setool for example.
Yes is unlocked.
I already have connection with flastool.
Now just wait for courage…lolol….to try something like a different kernel ;-)
Thanks for your comments.
So, have you tested if it accept custom kernels?
Don't be afraid, you can't kill it, just flash it and see if it boots. Download setCPU and try to move frequency higher.
I'm curious, in that Unlocker by wotan server, do you need to use test point?

Yes I am using NightElf Kernel and also tried [ROM] Neo |Team Xperia/SE.TWEAKED| V1.0 |23/02/12| (don´t like it).
NightElf Kernel has a great performance and is also very good battery friend. Last night, in 6 hours I only lost 4%.
Wotan unlocker first intend was to unlock my phone from network. It was branded. Before use Wotan unlocker I had: Bootloader unlocker allowed: NO. After I have yes and of course network unlocked. I used a software that I download and need to make a shunt between earth pin on phone and the second one….I believe is similar to S1tool.
I did the same, network sim unlock via test point. But, PCC has not worked since. It knows I've done something. SUS works sometimes. I have tried using flashtool, relock ftf and adb sony relock and none of this changed anything. Can I unpatch or correct the patch and unlock officially? I'd really like to do that.
Thanks for any info I don't know much about test point.

You shouldn't have any problem with PCC or SEUS if you unlocked BL using s1tool.
And what do you mean by "network sim unlock via test point"?
I used a paid software (4SE) to remove the network lock on my phone, so I could use other networks. It confirmed if I wanted to unlock my bootloader as well. I didn't know much about it but knew that doing that would allow custom kernels etc. so I clicked yes.
The network lock is gone, perfect. But only through chatting with others I've learned that the bootloader is 'patched' not fully unlocked. No method that I've tried properly modifies the patch, yet. I checked the log files in C/programfiles and found the log file says it did use an S1 tool. The paid part is of course network unlocking not the bootloader part.
PCC has never worked since. The exact message it says is something like 'unable to start software components or software'. I've read extensively on that and the only hint I've found is that it may be related to a modified bootloader. I've Windows 7 and now 8 beta on my computer also and on that version it gives the same message now. I've uninstalled, updated java etc. everything I'm sure it's the phone not the computer.I'm sure it detects something.
SUS works some days. It's so strange whether I use stock SE 2.3 or a mod version it changes whether to say:
1. There is no new software for your phone
2. No new software, would you like to reinstall anyway?
I've no clue what that's about.
1) so when you clicked yes in 4SE, you needed to use testpoint right? though it's strange that 4SE used s1tool for that..
2) "unable to start software components or software" is down to PCC, not your phone.
3) SEUS is also strange, I tried few days ago, it also didn't let me repair software, telling me that I have latest. I could swear that, one time before, it asked me if it should repair it anyway.
And now to your main question(if I understood you right ), yes, you can "unpatch it", use restore option in s1tool, that is if 4SE really used s1tool to patch your bl, which is still strange to me, but maybe that's how they made it I expected they will use their own BL unlock.
Thank you very much for helping me understand! Other people will likely find this information in the future!
4SE I believe is done by the Da Vinci Team which is much more known.
1. Yes I used test point!
2. Good to know it's PCC and not my phone. Very good...
3. I have tried 'restore' and it says 'nothing to restore'. But I'm sure that I can work on that.

Yup, you are correct about who made 4SE, "old" guys in SE world
Hm, interestingly.. it says that your color is BROWN, and that even before unlocking procedure. Usually in Xperia's brown means that unit is prototype at least if it says that without any modifications. But in older SE phones brown meant also another thing, so maybe they are calling it like that even if it's not proto.
Out of curiosity, can you download omnius from here: http://www.omnius-server.com/ and try identify your phone(after pressing identify, in connection method use first option, so that you don't need to mess with test point, I'm not quite sure what info you would get with tp identify ), and post log here(of course mask your IMEI), or you can just say if it says brown or red.
Also, you can download s1tool from here: http://www.4shared.com/archive/xjhXIDXh/s1tool.html
and also try to identify with it.
But to go back on your first post in this thread, what is your main question? I kinda lost it in all this talk
You are not sure if your BL is unlocked or?
mine is?
how about mine? after flashing 4.0.4 global rom I flash lockbootloader xperia2011 to make sure its locked again and when I enter service info menu theres no status shown about my bootlock. I mean really its nothing. Before when i was in GB .42fw rooted, it has a status of bootloader: YES. now its gone

oh sorry madfysh I confuse myself. I didnt do any unlocking procedure in the past. All I do is root GB .42 fw and then flashed 4.0.4 when it was released the I flashed lockbootloader to make sure I havent unlocked my bootloader. The problem is, I cant update or repair via PCC or SUS after flashing the global rom. Is my bootloader unlocked? since its gone from the SI menu?

[Q] X10 Mini Pro U20i - no working GSM after flash

Hello,
probably I did a failure in flashing ROM or Kernel (without SIM Card), and now GSM is not working (tested with two different SIMs / Eplus and t mobile). In Network search I see several provider (Eplus, O2, T-Mobile, Vodafone), but phone is not able to connect suitable provider. Both SIM-Cards work in other phone.
To repair I did following:
- PC Companion Repair - flashed Stock ROM
- SEUS flashed Stock Rom
- Flashing Stock-ROM with bootloader
- Bootloader unlock
- Root again
- Other Kernel /ROMs
All measure without success. Result in all cases were that phone can't log in.
I checked SIMlock Certificate by S1 Tool. Result was (at the moment 2.1.1.Clean.0.0 v6):
S1_EPROM VER "r8A029"
SOFTWARE AID: 0001
LOADER AID: 0001

Has somebody an idea ?

Hi SmG67,
the hint that my phone is still unlocked and the link was very helpful. I flashed Stock ROM again and additional I relocked the bootloader (first I had problems because S1tool version in XDA forum probably is old and had no Relock-button - but after googling I found current version of S1tool) - and thats great - phone works now - I can call again.
Thanks a lot - a phone without calling function is terrible...

glad it helped, enjoy your phone

[Q] Sim unlock via boot unlock?

Hi, so first i'd like to express my thanks for the whole xda community, helped me before and hopefully it will help me again.
I recently got Xperia X10i from a relative for free but it's locked in Orange, France.
I live in another country and as such will need to use a different network. After scooping around, searching the xda forum high and low on how to unlock it I came up empty handed so to say.
Now the question is can sim unlock be done on this phone (will post full details lower) free or under a fiver? Since i got it for free and I already have a phone I use I'm not willing to pay more to unlock it, I'd rather sell it dirt cheap or something. Please not I am also willing to test almost anything with it since it won't bother me much if it breaks.
Details on the phone and what I did with it so far:
Relevant text behind battery:

SI: 1232-4310
Imei: 359419036396884
Tests I did so far:
It had android 1.6, so i updated it first using pc compannion to 2.3 > worked
After that rooted it using flashtool 0.7 > worked
Tried unlocking bootloaed with same version > error (seems it's a software error in this latest version)
Downgraded to a generic 2.1 using flashtool 0.6.9 > worked
Rooted again with flashtool > worked
Using the BL unlock plugin i get a WARN CANC error
Using the S1 tool Identify i get the following:

In the service menu (which by the way was not accesible through the *#*# command on the phone but i accesed it through a apk here on xda installed through flashtool) under Service Info > Configuration the Rooting Status line is not present.
I remember reading somewhere in a youtube guide that some models of X10 can get sometimes sim unlocked when they are being bootloader unlocked.
Also i read somewhere that if the S1 tool shows RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A033" with a lower R then the bootloader is unlocked already?
I've been reading a bit about the setool2 utility and the test point things but that looks like hard short circuiting something and before doing that I'd like to make sure there is no other way.
If you need any other info i'll be happy to oblige and thanks for any helpful comment.
P.S. Forgot to mention a couple of things:
I never tried to install a full custom ROM but at some point I did install Doomlord's custom kernel with some recovery thing.
Also under Service Info > SIN lock > [x] Network 0
and the rest are with []
So ... can anyone offer a good advice? I've been reading up a bit and seems it can be sim unlocked even if it has 0 tries left with a paid software. Some opinions about which service offers most reliability and low cost?
yeah im too on t-mobile right now and want to unlock my sim, is there any chance to do that?
x10 unlock
any luck with the unlock process?

[Q] blocked sim card on x10 after unlocking BL

hey guys, hope anyone can help me with this problem...

( 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..

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...

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

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.

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

[Q] Cannot enter x10 unlock code from Orange

Hi all,
I've just received an unlock code from Orange but I cannot enter it as the screen to do so does not show up when entering a SIM from a different network. It simply says no SIM is inserted, restart phone.
After trawling google, I have found that this is due to the boot loader being unlocked. Using SETOOL it says:
RUNNING S1_EROM VER "R8A031"
SOFTWARE AID: 0001
LOADER AID: 0001
FLASH ID: "002C/00B3"
LOADER VERSION: "R4A024"
MODEL (from GDFS): X10i
SOFTWARE VERSION: 1227-4612_3.0.1.G.0.75
CUSTOM VERSION: 1234-6152_R2C
FILESYSTEM VERSION: WORLD-1-4-8_3.0.1.G.0.75
SERIAL NO: CB511PUP3Z
NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
MAYBE YOU SHOULD UNLOCK PHONE BY SETOOL2 ?
I'm aware that the "NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE" indicates it is locked to the orange network or something along those lines now due to something with the unlocking of the bootloader. But what I want to do is relock the bootloader so that I can use the unlock code. Initially I had flashed it using Flashtool 0.9.10.1, also rooted it through Flashtool and then unlocked the bootloader.
Since then I have used the repair facility through PC Companion with no joy as it still does not work. I'm not interested in the phone being flashed or rooted anymore, I just simply want to be able to use the phone on whatever network I want.
Any additional information that might be needed:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: 2.1.71
Kernel Version: 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537
Build Number: 3.0.1.G.0.75
If anyone can help me with this I would be eternally grateful, thanks!
Its Locked already, maybe u done something wrong when unlock network.
