[Q] Relock Bootloader - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a unlocked bootloader and I wish to relock it now.
The problem is that I dont see any restore button in the S1 tools! What to do? I downloaded many times to check for version problems but it isnt the case. What to do?

up..
i am interested too

You may want to read this thread and especially consider the "HOW TO RELOCK BOOTLOADER" section.
A simple search for "relock bootloader" would have turned up this result.

[Q] Unlocking Bootloader & Removing Sim Lock

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.

1. install PCC
2. install gg-drivers
3. restart your PC
4. connect phone to s1tool

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!

[Q] How to check if the bootloader is unlocked.

Hi there.
After i unlocked* the bootloader of my phone i got stuck in a bootloop, then i had to flash the TFT all over again...
The problem is that i don't know if the phone is already with bootloader unlocked or not...
how can i check it?
I was thinking on trying to do the unlock steps again, but i'm scared of being trapped on another bootloop...
Is there a way to check if the bootloader is already unlocked?
PS: The bootloader unlock allowed is yes.
thanks you guys.
Flash doom kernel via fastboot with this command:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
If you get an error than your bootloader is not unlocked.
You can flash back to stock kernel with flashtool,flash the kernel separately.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
but if i got that error and confirm that the bootloader is locked, is there any chance to harm the phone? or need to flash the TFT again, etc etc
use flashtool to tell you
Another more easy approach .
When bootloader unlock allowed says yes and be2 is working in Album, then it is still locked and you can start the unlock steps again.
How can i use flashtool to tell me?
@DevShaft
Before i could see in a flash the bravia engine working on pictures. There was a little delay... Now i can't see it.
Probably the bootloader is unlock.
If i try to install Doom's kernel via recovery and the bootloader is LOCKED, can it do any harm? thanks guys

Thanks man.
I'll wait the new firmware or android 4.2 to see it.

I unlocked my Xperia Z and in Service Mode I can see 'Bootloader unlocked: Yes'.
Now my phone is running on latest C6603 firmware and DooM Kernel.
To my surprise, BE2 still works! Music info download still works! TrackID still works!:victory:
But not picture enhancement in album right? Hope you backed up TA partition before unlocking

im surprised at how this 'check bootloader is unlocked already or not' thread is confusing.
by the previous post, there is two 2 ways
1. try to flash doomlords kernel via fastboot, and if it doesnt flash means its NOT unlocked.
2. flashtool.
however the 2. flashtool method is very vague.. dont think anyone elaborated it.
So my same query is that if some error occurs after trying to unlock bootloader, and have reverted back to the stock FTF rom in original working state.
How do one check to see if my bootloader is unlocked or not?
whats the best easiest method???
Thank you!
just type in *#*#7378423#*#*
Go to Service Info > Configuration
And check the Rooting Status
If its Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes/No, then its not unlocked.
And if its Bootloader unlocked:Yes, then its unlocked.
Thanks

That just tells you weather you can unlock your bootloader via the command / flashtool e.g. If you carrier has locked your phone
On a unlocked bootloader the BE2 engine still works on videos ect just not pictures.
All I would do Is flash doom kernel or advanced stock kernel via flashtool (Click on lightning bolt /fast boot / click on put device in fastboot via adb now phone will enter fastboot then select kernel to flash which is in the middle on the pop up screen and then flash if it will take around 0 . 5 seconds ) if it fails then you bootloader is locked due to it cannot complete the command if is successful then it's unlocked and you can flash custom kernels take about 2 mins to do all in all

[Q] cant unlock booterloader

hi,all,im trying to unlock BL by flashtool beta6,but its say No loader found for this device
OS;4.2.2 ,423,HK
It says underneath it "cannot be officially unlocked"
So my guess is your bootloader is permanently locked. Type *#*#service#*#* and go to service info then configuration. It should say "bootloader unlock allowed:" yes if you are able to unlock it.

Use Google. A simple query like "how to unlock xperia z bootloader" would probably do it. But since that is such a far-fetched idea I understand how it could have slipped your mind...

Either try the latest flashtool and do it again or search for doomlord's post on how to unlock bootloader.
But before trying, I would highly recommend backing up your TA.img

Why are you using Flashtools Beta 6? That version has been superseded by the latest release on the flashtool site....
Go read Doomlord's post on unlocking the boot loader (which is the official Sony method)- you can do it quick and easy with fastboot......
As has already been said....read the post in Original Development about backing up your TA (DRM & BE) partition BEFORE you unlock your bootloader.

Is it possible to recover my bootloader unlock key? (Nokia 8)

Hey! So I have unlocked my bootloader long time ago using the official method and I forgot to unlock critical... I still have the email with bootloader unlock key from HMD but when I press on download it shows me this: (see in the pictures)... I really need to unlock critical because I need to use NOST to flash stock firmware... HELP!

I suppose that unblocked bootloader is not a prerequisite for flashing official firmwares. It is safe on locked bootloader.
There is a Q&A section for asking questions. Let's abide by the rules dear.
