Ahh but notice how it has welcomec to s1tool besides you not meant to unlock bootloader through s1tool. You can do it through flashtool 2.9.1 or semc7227 tool ( sorry if its wrong) you can find a guide about bootloaders and kernels in my signature

So guys am i using the wrong program to unlock my xperia x8?if so can you guys give the info on what i need to unlock it,thanks guys

for newbie just install custom rom
u need to root your phone by using super one click
then install Xrecovery
then copy whatever rom u like to flash it on your SDcard
use search button there has full tutorial
for playing with kernel it can make your phone very fast!
but be aware it will brick your phone if u done any wrong

Also take care doing kernel stuff. Some newer phones have a security hole. But I managed to unlock bootloader and install alfs kernel because I bought my phone back in 2010

my x8 is 11w48..when i used S1tool, it appeared "SEMC simlock certificate"..is that mean that my x8 is safe to unlock bootloader..??

[Q] Unlocking bootloader on SP

I am having problem with unlocking bootloader on my Sony Xperia SP c5303 12.0.A.1.257. Tryin to do this in Flashtool:
I Click on BLU button, following steps and then i am asked to unplug the device and restart it in fastbootmode. If i understood it right, i have to hold vol+ and connect USB, but then error appears (asking me for drivers). But there is no drivers for SP in Flashtool-drivers.exe. I dont know what to do.
Bro first download android sdk and installed it... And u have to install flashtool -drivers.. Check all the boxes and install it.. I know sp is not there.. Not a problem.. Dont forget about android sdk

Search for a guide on how unbrick your phone. It's only a soft brick.
Repair with SEUS software
How do you did this???
To flash via flashtool you need ftf file rom and the only rom using this method is the SDE Rom witch have and the kernel inside..
So,is your bootloader unlocked?

1- Put the phone on charge for more than 2 hrs to make sure battery is changed.
2- Download the older version of flashtool v 0.9.18.6 from flashtool.net website and flash the ftf.
Or you can use the official Xperia companion program to repair your phone.
