NOW THREAD IS UPDATED AS PER MY SENIOR SUGGESTION:trlAltDelIrl,sgt. meow,fotak-x,IAmNice
Hi Newbies,
I think all newbies are confused about Boot loader. The following instruction will help u and easy to do unlock.
First check ur software version 11w026 or below version.if its below 11w026 do the following instruction.
Requirement:
1.S1 tool http://www.mediafire.com/?iwnjno9hirpgcm1
2.Mmz toolhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=715058&d=1315609618
Steps:
Disable Antivirus first.
Install Gorden drivers first, then only flash tool will detect ur phone...!
Step1:
Switch off ur phone.Open S1 tool and click do job. Hold back button and connected to use port,
Now the s1 tool will do the job.
Check ur boot loader unlocked or not:
you will see something like RUNNING S1_EROM VER "R8A029"
small r which means your bootloader is unlocked.
Step2:
Open Mmz file and extract that.
Switch on ur phone. and Run mmsc_semc.cmd..It will start to Unlcok the bootloader.
Wait till finish. Now ur phone will be unlocked successfully.
You r the only responsible if ur Awesome xperia bricked..:silly:
Like Do not Run MMSC-SEMC2.CMD. It will lock ur sim certificate..
If ur have problem in Sim Like"No SERVICE" after unlock the boot loader, Re lock the boot loader and do it again..
Be Careful..Its your own risk,,You are the only responsible,If ur lovely xperia Bricked..!
Relock the boot loader Tools:
St tool:http://www.mediafire.com/?jeo3c1xt988f822
Relocking bootloader steps:
Launch the s1tool.exe(Link Given Below)
Click restore button on s1tool
Turn off the phone
Connect your phone in flash mode (press back button while plugging your usb untill green led blink)
Wait till it finished relocking your bootloader.
The phone will restart
Check Bootloader Relocked:
Repeat the step above but on no 2 step you choose identify not restore if the previous relocking process successful you will see something like RUNNING S1_EROM VER "R8A029" notice the CAPITAL R.
Unsuccessful - you will see it with small r which means your bootloader still unlocked.
Next:
Flash tool:http://androxyde.github.com/
Flash stock kernal and stock rom
Stock rom:http://www.multiupload.com/VKNI6Q6ET5
THANX SPYDEX
And also Spl thnx to CtrlAltDelIrl,sgt. meow,fotak-x,IAmNice(Giving a nice idea to update this thread..)
Gracias por el tutorial ^^ :good:
Unless you are giving complete instructions and informing people of the risks you should not be giving tutorials like this.
On top of that you don't even check your spelling! The drivers are wrong! They are Gordons Gate not garden!
You fail to mention that if people have a simlock on their phone it will be dead using this method.
Please update or remove your post!

Ok, Well I Unlocked my HTC Surround so I could update. I did the whole process and then I was on NoDo update! I was very happy, But then I wanted to Restore it so I could Sideload once again. So I started the restore and the percentage Hung at 0, and Then I got error code 801812E0! so I was like ok I will just not sideload for a while..
Then I boot up my phone and a Picture of a phone Pops up with a usb saying connect to your PC (It didnt really say it.. you know what I mean) So. I plugged it in to my PC again and it said to restore it... So I said ok and I got the same Error 801812E0 Now I cannot use my phone Please will someone help me.
Also I am only 15. My Parents will be very pissed if they found out what happened.. but I need to get this working ASAP.. I cannot call ATT Ive tried everything.. Please someone respond
I think you should reflash your phone in order to get it work.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943714 and download your compatible rom, then reboot it into bootloader (Power + Volume Down), connect to PC, and reflash ^^
Hope it help
Thank you for your concern, but How am I supposed to figure out what type of ROM I need if I have no access to my phone to see? Haha

Use the Cingular ROM. I flashed my Surround from AT&T and it went OK, the ROM reverted to 7004. After that you can unlock your phone using ChevronWP7, use the fix to prevent it from re-locking again and then update to NoDo.
The rapidshare link from Ansar's post is down. I uploaded the Cingluar ROM to multiupload so you can fix your phone. Download it.
The instructions to flash your phone are as follow:
1. Unzip your downloaded *.zip file in a separate folder
2. Press and hold power-on/off button to power-off the phone
3. Press and hold volume-down button and then press power-on/off button to enter bootloader mode
4. When your phone enters the tricolor screen bootloader mode, release volume-down button
5. Connect your phone to your windows 7/vista/xp pc/laptop with a usb cable
6. Verify that your phone will be identified and relevant drivers will be installed by windows os of your pc/laptop
7. After completion of (6.) above, check the usb message connection on your phone screen
8. To flash the new ROM go to your pc/laptop folder of (1.) above
9. Double click on the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and strictly follow the instructions on your pc/laptop screen

Click to collapse
Please remember not to interrupt the flashing process! Do not disconnect the phone or play with it while it's being flashed. Try avoid using your computer at all and close all other applications before starting.
ertz, Noob here. I updated with the chevron updater and it seems that may be problematic. I'm using an at& branded surround will flashing the cingular rom allow me to recieve updates through zune?

I'm pretty much a noob too, I just learnt a thing or two in the past few weeks
You will have no problems at all with your carrier if you flash your AT&T phone using the Cingular ROM. The SIM-lock will stay the same as it is (either locked or unlocked,) the phone will return to its factory settings.
Being restored to its factory settings will mean that you'll get the updates through Zune when AT&T decides it's time for you to get them. You can, however, unbrand your phone to receive the updates almost as soon as they're released. Remember that you'll need to "developer unlock" your phone before you can unbrand it.
I have my SIM-unlocked Surround on Movistar (Argentina carrier) and I can get the updates through Zune after unbranding it. No Chevron Updater or other hacks to get the updates.
Thank you guys for your help <3 I Actually just went and traded it in for another one If this happens again I will use this method Thank you much!

sorry not funny, 1st april has already been.
guys if you don't believe me go put in your imeis, it takes all of two seconds
I entered my IMEI and it gave me an unlock code :S
i could be wrong but i seriously doubt that they have enabled fastboot for our devices (x10)...
I can give a secondary confirmation that this works. I just received my key to unlock my x10. This does work. When you type in *#06# you'll get a 15 digit #, just leave off the last number and you will get your key.
Doesnt work for me, Says not a valid imei, please try again. but my x10 is sim locked to Orange and it says "you can’t unlock the boot loader if you have a SIM lock protected phone."
Edit: ^^Just left off the last digit of the IMEI and it gave me a code...

getting the unlock code is fine but does the device come up/shown for:
13. Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your phone is connected properly.
Note! If Fastboot displays <waiting for device>, check the host for USB device status. If any unknown devices are present, then check the driver installation. If your phone boots as normal and Fastboot is not starting, even though the USB drivers are working, the boot loader on your phone CANNOT be unlocked.
14. Warning! If you perform this step, you will unlock the boot loader and which may void your warranty. If you want to unlock the boot loader of your phone, enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY, where KEY is the 14 character unlock boot loader key you got from the Unlock boot loader web page. You have now successfully unlocked the boot loader in your phone.
True, it did work.

Hi all,
Firstly I want to apologise if this has been asked before. I have hand-on-heart spent the equivalent of 48hrs solid searching for the answer over the last few weeks for this.
I have a rooted X10i running 2.3.3 (Stock). I have tried everything to unlock my bootloader, but it seems to be impossible to unlock.
Is this the case or am I missing a trick or something? Can anyone please help me?

Well to be honest i think there is not such thing called Permanent Locked Bootloader , well same situation happened to me yesterday when i was trying to flash my 1st ROM for Xperia X10i , but something happened and i forgot to copy the zip file to the SD ......... Anyway , just try to unlock it by Flashtool v0.9.80 , and also download s1tool to check if it's unlocked or not , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343 Here , i followed those instructions
Unfortunately this guide and several others are the ones I have been following.
I have just tried to unlock the bootloader using flashtool64 0.9.9.0 and have gotten the following error:

Don't try to unlock your bootloader
You will lose your network( there will be no signal in the rom. even on stock roms).

Hi all,
Firstly I want to apologise if this has been asked before. I have hand-on-heart spent the equivalent of 48hrs solid searching for the answer over the last few weeks for this.
I have a rooted X10i running 2.3.3 (Stock). I have tried everything to unlock my bootloader, but it seems to be impossible to unlock.
Is this the case or am I missing a trick or something? Can anyone please help me?

I am a little confused now.
Can I unlock my bootloader or will it kill the network connection.
I have tried your method brenty, but it doesn't work for me

Don't try to unlock
Your network will surely be gone
You have another way to unlock bootloader
First you have to sim unlock your phone using setool (search google for it)
Then check with s1tool, it will show setool sim certificate
. Then you can unlock bootloader safely
don't do it, i tried that after sim unlock with omnius and then i got NO network.
I had the backup of the trim area... that was my luck. For what i can see the bootlader unlock is now impossible for me, or i have to pay again to sim unlock with seetool.
@THeLogiC if he uses setool2 to sim unlock his phone there is no need to use the s1tool, as the setool2 unlocks the boot loader while it sim unlocks the phone, as thats how i got mine done when the_laser first did the bootloader unlock.

YES is for make the phone unlocked and No is for keep the phone locked(In your snapshot you choosed NO...so i think thats the problem
