Hey XDA X8 dev's and members.
All i wanted to ask was
If i "REPAIR" my phone using PC companion. Does it RElock my bootloader?
I've already unlocked it and im not too sure if i should repair is using PC companion or not because i really don't want to go through the Unlocking of the bootloader process.
Please reply soon.
Thanks.
Not sure about pc companion but i use flashtool after unlocking bootloader and works fine, I repaired it several times......
PCC doesn't relock the BL
Nope.But returns the stock kernel.
Awesome
Thats all i needed to know.
Thank you XDA X8 Members <3

Hey guys my cousin gave me his Xperia X8 to remove the SIMLOCK from. Its an Xperia X8. I found this guide however the programs included arent working for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436957
It says that the phone must have manufacturing code 11W28 and below and the Xperia X8 I have got it 11W22
It says run s1tool and click DO JOB. However the s1tool has been updated and when I click identify and connect Xperia X8 when turned off as well as pressing the back button nothing appears within S1Tool. So I cant continue the remaining steps.
The phone is not unlocked and runs stock SE Firmware.
FYI: I am trying to unlock the bootloader and then remove network lock. Im just saying this so you clever guys know what my objective is
Thanks in advance
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader on a network locked phone? I also have the X8 and apparantly I cannot unlock it's bootloader.
Yeah, its possible, you should try it

You can safely unlock the BL on yoyr phone. Here is what you have to do in order for S1tool to read your phone properly.
1. Install the Flash mode and ADB drivers for your phone. These drivers are bundled with Flashtool, just download and install Flashtool (link in dev section) and then go into the drivers folder and install. Then reboot your computer.
2. Turn off your phone. Then go into S1tool and click identify. Press and hold the back button while connecting your phone to the computer via USB cable. A green led light should appear to indicate that your phone has entered flash mode. S1tool should then start identification.

You can unlock a sim-locked phone's bootloader.

1. install PCC
2. install gg-drivers
3. restart your PC

Hi guys, can somebody confirm that if I unlocked my phone by Omnius than if I unlock it with S1Tool then it will work? There are a lot of discussions about this on the net but it is not clear. On many sites written that I will lose the network signal or the radio if I do it...or the sim-lock will be restored again...So if somebody know this please write a clear answer for example:
Yes you can unlock it with S1Tool without any problem or
Yes you can unlock it with Omnius without any problem or
No because...
Thank you very much!

Hi there!
I've unlocked using flashtool, installed CWM Recovery and rooted using the recovery-only root.
Now, I need to return the phone to as stock as possible - certainly removing root, but relocking the bootloader would be a good secondary objective.
My current plan is to use the flashtool to relock the bootloader, then use the PC software to repair the phone. Will this work?
Thanks for your help
Edit: I've searched the forums but can't find an answer, including in the starting thread - please link to a relevant portion instead of the whole thing if possible
Further edit: There's no 'relock' option in the flashtool - huh?

As of now there is no option to relock the bootloader. You can unroot the phone by simply performing a repair system command in Sony PC Companion or flashing a stock rom. This has been explained in every single rooting or custom MOD thread.
Ya you are right. Relock bootloader using flashtool and repair or flash a ftf from flashtool.
And IIRC in the beta version of flashtool u will find option to relock under BLU. And btw u won't get back DRM keys and no Bravia engine.

I don't see the option to relock anywhere - perhaps as I did the unlock on another PC?
If you can't get it to work with PC Companion use SUS (Sony Update Service which you can download from Sony's website) http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/ --> for UK

You have to relock the bootloader with flashtool beta4,click on BLU.
Flash a stock rom and repair it by update service.

Thanks - I expected there to be a separate button for relocking - whoops!
I've flashed the stock ROM and that's gotten rid of the root. It also says that the bootloader can be unlocked, so that seems all perfect as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for your help, ladies and gentlemen.
Hey guys. So, I want unlock my bootloader, but I have maaaany questions.
This Xperia X8 was of my friend. He gave it to me. Time ago he tried to unlock the bootloader, it seemed to be successful, but he hardbricked the phone. Fortunately, the phone was under warranty, so he sent the phone at S.E . Now it is in my hands. :good:
First, I put custom roms. First, Froyo Pro, now I have MiniCM7. Now I want unlock the bootloader for a custom kernel.
I searched many threads, and I read this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693308
Do you think this is good? I know that unlock the bootloader is dangerous, but this procedure is a little bit more safe?
My friend had followed another tutorial, but I think he failed because he was on PrimeHD when he tried to unlock, and in the PC : No PCC companion.
I read that, I MUST HAVE stock rom and PCC Companion. Is this right? I have MiniCM, if I use PCC Companion, can I have the right stock rom?
It is possibly to unlock the bootloader , even if the phone was sent to S.E for repair?
Now, in the battery I read 11w15, and in the inside of the phone,
IC: 41708-A3880091 FYT 12W08
It is possibly to unlock?
If yes, anyway can someone give me support?
Thanks guys
DONT unlock it, you could end up again with a hard bricked X8

Hey guys I have a rooted Xperia Sp(C5302). We know that our device is gonna get the 4.3 official update next month. My question is can we update to the official 4.3 even after having root or will it cause a problem.

If its rooted; you can update via pc companion. (i don't know if OTA; but via pc companion you can). Cheers!

As said above, root is no problem with PC Companion.
However, if you unlock the bootloader, no update whatsoever (PC Comp, OTA). After bootloader unlock only Flashtool /Emma will let you flash new ROM/updates.

which is the safest method to Reload the Boot loader
I am using BL Unlocked Rooted Stock Rom ,
I think Sony stated on their unlock website that once you unlock the boot loader there's no way to relock. Check out unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
