[Q] BL + sim unlock

Hi guys,
I have a question about bootloader unlocking. I know it doesn't unlock the carrier, so I've contacted Three UK and they're obtaining a code for my Xperia X8 that I bought on PAYG which will be £15.34 and can take up to 2 weeks.
My question is that if I go ahead and unlock the bootloader so that I can put newer kernels in (and therefore newer ROMs), will it remove the unlock code they gave me in any form, or will my phone always stay unlocked?
Also, if it goes back to locked, can I use that same code from Three and just unlock it again?
Thanks guys.

Also, I assume if anything goes wrong I can use the Pc Companion to practically wipe back to manufacturers kernel/rom/BL/settings?

You guys can't keep posting the Same question.
Anyway, your phone will get locked original network

I believe if you use code to unlock SIM you' ll have phone same as one that was never locked. And none of your actions should lock it again.
It would be nice if somebody experienced confirm this, though.

I didn't intend to ask the same question again. I did use the search so I apologise if it's already been asked but I'd love a definitive answer.
My guess is that either way, my IMEI will stay the same of course so in theory the same code could be used numerous times on the phone regardless. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I think I understand from your post that after unlocking BL it'll revert to original carrier lock? Same code or?

You need to be more patient then waiting just over an hour. Technically it's against the forum rules to bump a thread within 24 hours which is what your second post is doing.
You need to remember just because people view the thread it doesn't mean they know anything about the subject. I view all threads in here but only post when I know the answer (or when I have to advise people ). Just wait and you'll eventually get an answer.
Thanks

Yeah thanks - probably no solution is what me thinks.

I've been using the following app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite
It lets you chose the colour, flash frequency etc for various different notification events.
For instance I've used it to make my SMS notification flash blue very quickly.
I think I found the app via this forum

I havent used that app so I cant confirm anything. But looking at the app's description in the play store it has all the instructiosn yo will need.
Its your choice to root, but dont forget, that you can grab a ftf file of your CLEAN rom via PCCompanion or SUS and flashtool that you can flash if you want to go back to an nrooted device.

Will rooting void warranty?
Once unrooted would Sony be able to tell if phone was rooted?
Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 2

Yes, but you can always flash a stock FTF and go back to factory settings, Sony won't be able to tell then. Just make a FTF file from a PC companion or SUS update before you root.p

Bin4ry's tool doesn't work for that firmware version.
Do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405
Follow the instructions carefully. It definitely works as I rooted the same firmware version with it myself.
If you have never used Flashtool before, here is a guide to setup drivers etc and flash - How to flash stock roms with Flashtool
Also, somebody may come in here and recommend that you use something called Kingo to root your phone. Personally, I don't trust it as there is no information on how it works or what it pushes to your phone, so keep that in mind.

Doesnt matter because you usually wipe and flash a rom after root. Then you definally sure that there is no mallware left

Hold volume down and plug the USB cable in. The process is pretty simple, so it shouldn't matter that you cannot see the images in the post I linked to.

Erm, what? Not everybody roots in order to flash a custom rom. Some just want to remove bloat and run some root only apps.

Yep, you cannot see anything untoward, so it's completely fine!
I'm not saying that this Kingo app does anything bad, but do you think it would flash a notification toast up on screen saying "Please wait: Stealing your personal data" if it did?
I personally do not trust it and therefore will not recommend it to anybody over a method supplied by a trusted developer such as DooMLoRD, even if the process is one click and therefore foolproof.

Ok you are right. Some people only want to root and keep their files. Then it might be not so good to use kingo because nobody knows how it works.

There is another method for people to use poweramp without buying the apps but you have to root first

I'm pretty sure you can do it with flashify, you just need to be rooted, which you already are.

Do you read before posting? Flashify was already suggested 3 days ago, only 2 posts above yours. I know you're eager to help, but spamming many posts a day isn't the way to go about it. ?
It most probably won't work for our device anyway, as it doesn't have a traditional recovery arrangement with a dedicated partition like most other non Xperia devices do.
