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!!

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.

Hi everyone, there are 4 days for unlock bootloader for free on Omnius.
There are a lot of ppl who have Bootloader Unlock allowed: NO! and as u know it can only be unlocked by pay method. Well you are lucky if you are seing this post because if you go to omnius page: http://www.omnius-server.com/ and register you can unlock for free your 2011 xperia phone. I already try this method on my brother's xperia mini pro (sk17) and it works without pay anything.
If you have some question be free to ask here, I will help you in your unlocker, its a little diffficult but can be done!.
Good luck!
Edit:
STEPS:
Open omnius, log into your account.
Select your device from list.
Press unlock -> Bootloader
It will show you an image where your testpoint is located.
- Next steps are for mini pro -
Cancel the process. Now turn off your xperia mini pro. Remove your batter
Localizate the testpoint and put there your tool (It can be a paper clip with cable).
Put the clip on your test point and the cable to the ground (omnius will help you with this) then connect your phone at the computer.
Windows will recognize new driver and it will fail with installation. Dont worry, open device manager and right click that device and choice update driver. Select install from my computer. Go to omnius installation (c->program files -> omnius -> drivers) and accept. It will show you a warning telling that those arent the proper drivers but its ok, just press install anyway.
Thats it, it will install you the drivers you need.
Now unplug test point and put your battery on (usb cable must be conected).
Now unplug the usb now.
Put usb again on your xperia and once again it will show you new device founded, follow the same step before, device manager, update, from computer, etc, etc). Thats it, now open omnius and press unlock, bootloader and it will succes.
For anothers devices it will be the same but with different testpoint, steps may be different but omnius will show you the way.
I hope this can help you, because is one day left.

unlock bootloader means that you can use fastboot mode.
Also you can unlock your sim for use any operator you want.

Well not exactly I unlocked the bootloader and was unable to access fast boot mode on my lww due to the simlock. I had to do a full unlock before had access to fastboot.

But do you have access to fastboot?? Connect the phone to the PC while it is off and you are holding the volume up key the notification led should turn on blue.

Hello!
So this method works for live with walkman? Can I install costum roms after that? Is my warranty still valid after I unlock bootloader with this method / can I re-lock bootloader if needed?
Thank You!
Have a nice day

First take out battery from phone then take some wire and connect it,to ground (you can find testpoint locations on omnius site) ,also be sure that drivers are installed (you
can find them in S1tool) now comes tricky part where you need to do in few seconds but first check is testpoint connected,so tricky part is that you need to disconnect testpoint and put battery while is sending loader or error will come up (phone will be ok)
I hope you will understand.

It WORKS, thanks ocovarr
I updated my Xperia S to the latest version and I decided to try out the new feature-unlocking via face recognition. The problem arose at the beginning of the code, which I gave as an alternative way to unlock did not work. After a few hoursthe application responsible for face recognition also stopped working. And there was a really big problem: I can not in any way unlock the screen, because the code does not work, so I can not hook up the phone to the computer completely, because it requires unlocking the screen. Do you know what I can do now to be able to fully use the phone? Any entry in Safe Mode of FastBoot Mode did not work. Flashtool does not recognize the phone.
Hold volume up and power button to shut it down? Then re flash

do you have unlocked Bootloader? if not you can use the Update Service and reinstal the firmware and everything should be OK ( whit the risk of losing ur data and apps) just like a brand new phone, you mention that you have the lastest firmware so the Update Service will tell u that you already have it, just ignore it and choose to update anyway.
if yout bootloader is unlocked you can relock it and then use the Update Service.
hope to help you

Hi,
I made a different thread to find a solution about this error I got when I try to flash the Androkernel boot.im and TWRP recovery on my UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER Z4 712 wifi european tablet.
I updated with the Sony PC Companion tool, I DID NOT turn ofn the MySony Security (that was THE problem that caused this error last time), and bootloader is still unlocked (checked with Sony Mobile Flasher).
The service mode say "root:unknow", in previous tablets/room it should say "bootloader locked or unlocked", but I'm not sure.
That's what I got when I tri to flash boot.img:
C:\>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (32584 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.633s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

First of all it's not polite to create new thread in android development part. Here should be only roms, fixes, patches recoveries. Not q&a threads.
As to your problem, are you sure that you've unlocked bootloader? In service menu you should see
"Rooting status:
Boot loader unlocked: Yes"
if you doesn't see it, it means you haven't unlocked it or unlocking is not allowed on your device.

Hi,
I think the problem is here if you enable myXperia before or after unlocking the bootloader ( can be @AndroPlus can explain better the problem ?)
Verify that your USB drivers for fastboot and adb are correcctly installed (install the USB drivers provided with Flashtool)
I hope you can root your tablet again :good:
I'm very sorry if I opened the thread here, feel free to close or move it, but I found it related the modding and , actually, in installing the androplus kernel.
As I said I did not turn on the sony security nor befor nor after, root status is "unknown", Flas Tool say is't unlocked, I already flashed the androkernel before and the problem was the MySony security, but now I know I don't have to turn it on.
Drivers are Ok, I flashed the new rom with Flash tool and then with Sony Companion.
Anyhow, if I'm bothering with this thread pleas close it, al try again and again
I think it's okey moderators will move the thread over.
Did you unlock your tablet by flashtool or follow official Sony instructions?
Do you have myxperia app installed?
Have you got factory reset after unlocking?

First of all, I don't really understand how he was able to update something via pc companion with unlocked bootloader?
No ota update, nor update via pc companion is available after unlocking.
DHGE will we have the same? I mean when android MM will be released, we flash it and will it be with myxperia? And if we launch it by accident we break our tablet, right? In this case, how to remove it, factory reset?

I read about a guy thoblem because after updating with Companion bootloader was relocked, he unlocked again and so.
Anyhow,I just NOT UPDATED, but RESTORE/REFRESH the firmware flashed with Flashbout a bad flash with Flashtool. Immediately after the flash with compsnion,even without turning on the phone, I try and I got the same FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
:crying:
I even relocked and reunlocked bootloader with Flashtool (didn't even know it's possible to relocked...).Thi lost :-/
UPDATE: I found that myxperia was administrator even if I didn't turn it on, so I remove from administrators, but....same problem
Maybe it's better to try to unlock bootloader again following official Sony instructions, not flashtool? WITH flashtool unlocking, you haven't got a factory reset, that's the reason of all your problems IMHO.
After unlocking my xperia must disappear.

SONY thinks MyXperia is a useful feature security wise and I agree. It is just not for me since it prevents my tampering with the device.
I am sure it will be in MM.
You have to launch it explicitly on setup! SONY warns in the bootloader instructions to activate it after unlocking.
Once activated after unlocking the tablet is bricked. End of discussion, beaten to death in the xperia fora....
If a factory reset could revive the devices this would be no security feature but rather an annoyance for thieves.

I completely agree with what @DHGE said this is a no sense if a thief can reset the tablet with a factory reset once MyXperia has been activated. MyXepria operates at a low level, also be able to deactivate it easily is not possible.
:crying:
Oh my God.I haven't known it. http://fxpblog.co/2015/07/03/dont-destroy-your-unlocked-device.html poor people. Indeed, with unlocked bootloader and enabled myxperia, people get tea-tray instead of working device. And it's unrecoverable.
If nevertheless icon of my xperia will appear in a menu of new MM. Can I delete it with some kind of system-app-uninstaller ?
Edit 1. This damned app was in my system, so I used "Uninstall" app and remove my xperia, wiped dalvik and cash.
I strongly recommend it everybody to keep your device safe and don't worry incidental pressing.Better delete it!!!
I activated myxperia with unlockebootloader and I have no problem, can't be able to unactivate it, when I reflash the ro if activate it or not and I can remove administrator priviledge in security section.
If I clickif I want to turn it on and sony says that "if turned on"repair the firmware but will be "unusable" till you imput your google account saved for the my'm UNLOCKED I try turning on myxperia a few days ago to an disable it later (no ways, my xperia has only a blank page without settings), then I reflashed 2 times and both time it asked me if I to turn on the myxperia.I even try with flashtools to chek the bootloader, relock and reunlock and everything wly problem is flashing things via fastboot!
