Ok, I saw many people asking how to unlock our X8 on all networks and I tried it on four Xperia X8 phone's and it's true, bootloader unlock succesfully unlocked X8 on all SIM cards. Yes, it asks for SIM Unlock code but I've just pressed dismiss button and it connected succesfully on other networks. I've unlocked bootloader with Flashtool v 0.5.3 and it worked on all (2.1, 2.2 &2.3) ROM's. Please try it and answer if you've succesfully unlocked your phone.

Why the hell do we ned this if unlocked bootloader provide us x8 working on all sim cards...
I have unlocked bootloader.
in flashtool help->about it says x10 Flashing Tool, Version 0.2.9.1, Java Version 1.6.0_24, OS Version 5.1, By Bin4ry & Androxyde
if that is of any importance
I have T-mobile locked X8.
I try to put VIP SIM card but it just won't connect to network. when I manually select VIP I get some massage. don't remember what exactly, but about forbidden network or something like that.
So I guess you are just lucky, cause it doesn't work for me.
or perhaps somebody else could write if this works for him. which networks, which flashtool, how did you unlock ...

The only time i have ever seen this is on phones that already have sim unlock. When you turn on your phone on a sim free phone which already had been unlocked it asks (EVERY TIME) to enter your network unlock code even do its already unlocked to all networks. The flash tool doesn't unlock your network

If you UNLOCK BOOTLOADER with FLASHTOOL, your mobile network will work on all operators! But if you unlock bootloader with msm7227 you'll not have signal!!

I l 'I unlocked the flashtool but I signal with a single operator ... why?
Oh,
I just realized what you wanted to say.
Bootloader can be unlocked with flashtool and, if done so, SIM unlocks too.
That's a huge thing, and should be made sticky, if so.
and what about us that unlocked bootloader before?
do we have to reflash stock kernel and relock bootloader? or can we just try to unlock with flashtool already unlocked bootloader?
I don't need my SIM unlocked now, but it would be nice to know. So, if somebody tries it please post how you did it.
I unlocked my bootloader (With msm7227), but its not sim unlocked. I have a custom kernel and custom rom, but still can't use my phone.
Any ideas?
sorry If I open this thread lot of months later, How can i unlock bootloader of this x8 with flashtool? these are the features of flashtool
Flash original Images (Android 1.6, 2.1, 2.3 Images)
Root your phone
Install Recovery, Busybox, custom kernels
Clean your Rom (remove /system/apps apps of your choice) (Be careful, unless you really know what you do, do not modify the default list. This can make your phone stuck at the SE Logo)
Clear dalvik cache
Optimize (install of JIT v2) (Disabled in 0.4, will readd it as a plugin for 2.1 phones only)
Customize (installs apps found in the custom/apps folder of the flashtool)
Clean uninstalled (remove any references to system apps removed in the Clean (root needed) step)
Edit any text file on the device
Rebrand your device

Which one is for me? Thank you!
1. connect phone to pc
2. enable debugging
3. you must have latest flashtool
4.launch flashtool
5. go to "Plugins" at top and click unlock bootloader.
Good luck!
Or you can go on yt and search for 2011matej in channels and find my profile. There is my video how to unlock bootloader with flashtool:good:

I made a succes with Bootloader unlock, it works on all networks but it ask's me to enter sim unlock code, in that case i press Dismiss button and then it registers on network without a, any problem, try it, You have nothing to loose, except Your warranty
Search in XPERIA X8 Android Development section the tutorial about unlocking bootloader, the fastest way is for You to download Flashtool v0.5.3 and Root Your phone, when You do that, turn on USB debugging and in flashtool go to tools>unlock bootloader, it will run a script and You have (un)succesfully unlocked your sim, test it..
can you in private messages to explain in Croatian? me and english "nismo si na ti" xD

is it really so easy? the screen with sim unlock code i had on gingerxperia with locked bootloader, too. Can i get permanent sim lock when i unlock the bootloder and no mobile connections?
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.

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!

First sorry for some bad english...
A few months ago i unlocked my x8 bootloader and used custom kernels / roms without any problem... Now I have the need to have my x8 sim unlocked... I tried another SIM and he run but without network signal. I used then SE Pc companion to restore it to factory in order to use PLASMA S TOOL to unlock it. It went good. Now, after a few days I cant wait to use custom kernels again, but i have some questions...
S1 tool gives the information "RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A029"", but in the end "NOT RECOGNIZED SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE".
Is bootloader unlocked?
Is there a chance of the phone become SIM locked again?
Thanks in advance...

Hello,
Has anyone tried this yet? http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...for-a-range-of-unlocked-xperia-devices-video/
It doesn't seem to be working for me!:
Steps taken:
Flashed stock 5.0.2 using Emma
Flashed TA Updated using Emma
Pressed volume down + power until vibration occurs
release power button
result:
Phone shows sony logo and not dead android (stock recovery) and then just reboots
Yes, I'm facing this behaviour too... It seems to be a known problem for some users, as it has also been postet under the original Sony article on deloper world... Hope Sony recognizes the problem soon and fixes the bootloader
Same here. Nothing happen.

Could it be that you have got a sim locked phone? I a not sure but most sim locked phones have got a unlockable bootloader.
There are Z1s with:
Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes, and
Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No
It doesn't matter if you are SIM locked or not. SIM locked means you are tied to one specific Carrier and cannot use other Carrier's SIM. If you insert another Carrier's SIM it will not be recognized by the phone. You can have the phone "unlocked" meaning it will allow you so use any Carrier SIM you want to use but that doesn't you you have unlocked your bootloader.
If your phone says [Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes], you can unlock it using Flashtool or go to Sony's website.
If your phone says [Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No], sorry mate - you don't have any way of unlocking your bootloader.

That's the reality.
As already said only phones with 'bootloader unlock Allowed: yes' can be unlocked.
If this is my phone I would be interested in knowing why my bootloader isn't unlockable and I would write to Sony.

None that I know of personally. I did a Google search - I found a youtube video but I doubt it's credibility. But I am not an Advanced Developer or anything like that. I'm just another guy with an Android phone. And from what I've read so far, if your phone says [Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No] that means:
"No.",
"Sorry but No!",
"Nooooo-Waaaayyy",
"uh-uh!", "Sorry, nope!",
"No can do.", "Nada!",
"Let me thing about it.... I say... No!"
"Hmmm.... nah!"
If your phone was purchased as a 2nd hand phone, the original owner must have purchased it as a SIM-locked phone and have later had it Open-lined so he/she can use any Carrier SIM he/she wants. But as I have mentioned before; which almost everybody gets confused about; if you have had your phone Open-lined it doesn't mean you have unlocked the bootloader as well.
