I tried to unlock bootloader by this tutorial -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267273) and unlocked successfully but something gone wrong and after unlocking my X8 doesn't accept any SIM card... so I lock again bootloader and use SEUS but it won't help, my phone still doesnt accept any SIM. What to do now?
EDIT: mobile is simlocked (if it can help)
i thin you should sim unlock it via imei or anyting that can sim unlock and it will accept sim cards
ok so I have found problem... that *** S1 tool said me, that i have locked bootloader but i haven't... so i locked bootloader and everything is OK now

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
Click to expand...

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 unlocked the bootloader by msm 7227 and it isnt sim unlocked.........the phone is e15a but it cannot be used in other networks......is there a way we can unlock a e15a that is rooted and bootloader unlocked by msm7227......help would be appreciated.....and i searched but didnt find any solution
I have unlocked with msm7227 and i just tried and it isn't sim unlocked. I already have an unlocked bootloader but Can I just go into flashtool and unlock it there?
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...

Howsit Guys
Need a lil help here. Im currently on firmware- 10.4.1.B.0.101 with [Root & XZDR] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643898 <-- via this method.. all Works sweetly.. Problem is that i want to unlock my bootloader. Ive checked in the service menu, unlocked bootloader is allowed.
I am currently trying to unlock bootloader with latest version of Flashtools(unofficial way).whilst phone is on, i connect cable, startup flashtools, it detects device. Then i click on lightningbolt icon, to unlock bootloader. menu comes up asking to remove cable, power off phone n goto flashmode.
When i get to the part where it asks to select my device, i click on xperia z. And i get a FAIL message saying i cannot officially unlock bootloader?? Do i need to be on stock .244 firmware or stock kernal to unlock ? Or am i going through it the wrong way. main reason i want unlock bootloader to install cyanagen mod11 nightly.
Thnx
Done
Sorry for the silly post.. managed to unlock my bootloader..
