After two Hard Bricks trying to Unlock, lost my Network(No service)

Hi all, im having one kind of a problem, me and my friend, have tried to unlock his x8 Bootloader, and i have search and saw the hard brick warning, and checked the device says 9w12 so i thought it was safe, and it wasnt, because the device didnt work after using Unlock method.
Now we have Jtaged it using a box and made it work, and everything was fine, untill he tried unlocking using Flash tool, and it said unlocking was ok, but it didnt actually work cuz he couldnt flash nA kernel after. and then his device went off again, so we had to jTag it again with a box to make it work,
Now its back to stock 2.1 and cant find service, it can see the networks but cannot get signal (no service), and i read a lot on that i gotta use SMEC 77727 or something to make it work, but its the same we used to get our device bricked, so any advice plz guys help?
1.Relock bootloader
2. Unlock bootloader with FLASHTOOL not with msm7227 tools.
First time when I unlock bootloader I unlock it with msm7227,but I didn't have signal. After 1-2month I see that bootloader can be unlocked by flashtool. I try unlock bl with flashtool and now I have signal and I really enjoying!

thanks for your response, can u tell me how to relock bootloader, my eyes are bleeing from searching and i dont wanna hard brick the x8 again sir. x(
Use x8toolbox
Also, using 1stools. first time i tired to unlock, it said SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, but now it says NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE.. what would this mean?
before i do anythign stupid now
That message will change back to original message when you relock..
It's the reason you get no carrier lock.
I downloaded x8tools, but its based on Cmd command line, not sure where to find a tutorial, im looking at the moment to find one

Just checked - Doesn't give instructions but it's rather simple anyway - just go for it man!
Flash tool gave me this error when trying to unlock: WARN - Cannot identify your SL. Aborting
also, pc companion cant recognize my mobile when i try to repair its software, whats up with that??
Did you relock the bootloader first using x8toolbox?
No, because i cant open it, everytime i click on x8tools.cmd it open and close, no idea why,,,, do u have IM (hotmail or so) im in trouble really might need the help

OK got ya.. We could do this over IM but it's good for future users with the same issue to see this thread and find a solution.
So let's go..
1: Don't double-click x8tools.cmd
2: Open MS Command Prompt and cd\ to the directory where you saved it. (Desktop is really handy)
3: Type x8tools.cmd into command prompt
4: Let the magic begin!
alright, here what i got:
starting x8toolbox.final . . .
'busybox' is not recognized as a
operable program or batch file.
did as u said, so whats next bro?

Have you adb installed/configured?
Ok managed to make it work,, let me see now..
I can only see unlock bootloader option, no relock, is relocking under unlocking section?

Why are you bothering to root it when you have unlocked the bootloader.
Just flash a custom kernel
If you don't know how to do that I must ask why you unlocked it in the first place.

Dont spam here... That tool doesn't work with Xperia z3+.
To install TWRP we need to unlock our BL. So that Pre rooted firmware doesn't work for our phone.
Okay if you really need to root. Just follow these steps.
First install adb and Fastboot in your computer.
Enable USB debugging and connect to Computer and install the drivers and check in device manager whether it is installed correctly.
Now connect your phone to computer in fastboot mode.
Open a command window in the adb and fastboot folder.
And backup your ta partition (Google it, I'm using a mobile browser so can't provide links now)
It'll create a .img file.
It contains all your drm keys.
Now unlock bootloader and install custom recovery twrp.
Then install rootable kernel and SuperSU.
Atlast install the .img from custom recovery.
That's it.
What if my device has a big fat NO in the service menu where it's says whether it's unlockable or not? Does no mean no, like never ever ever? Or will this method, ir some other one, get around that?

Deactivate My Xperia App and check your BL Status.

Is unlocking bootloader via Linux possible?

I currently only have linux on my laptop. I downloaded th Mi Unlock Tool, but it's for Windows only.
Can I unlock the bootlaoder of Redmi 4/4X using linux? like

no, not yet.
That's what took me so long to unlock mine. I finally just installed the unlock tool on my son's laptop to unlock. Even on their own forums there are constant requests for a Linux unlock tool but Xiaomi doesn't seem to care.
Is there a way to flash a rom with linux? Yes, the bootloader is unlocked but I don’t have a windows system at the moment.
Thanks!
Once the phone is unlocked you can use ADB in Linux.
