Hello!
Have GingerDX with nAa running. Now changed from pre-paid Vodafone to KPN. But it does not work. Is the phone SIM-locked maybe? And how do I remove it?
Thanks
Now contacted Vodafone since their SIMunlock webform on their webpage did not work.
They told me that it is strange since Vodafone EIMI start not with 01268500xxxx. The thought is must be from another provider. They were going to try to unlock it anyway.
Strange.
With s1tool I get:

got the same problem, i cant solve it
IF THE HIGHLIGHTED R IS SMALL LETTER(r), YOUR BOOTLOADER IS ALREADY UNLOCKED.
So my phone is unlocked! But how do I check and remove my SIMLOCK?
Found this threat. May the tool can help. Plasma S Tool.

But for me the instruction does not work.
Menu => Back => Back => Menu => Back => Menu => Menu =>Back (If this doesn’t work, dial: *#*#7378423#*#* )
I guess I have first to install original ROM back onto phone and then only I can access all this.
Anybody a reply?? Any suggestions are welcome!
Finally got the unlock code from Vodafone today. But where do I enter it?
*#*#4636#*#* Phone info on
How to check the counter state on X10 etc..
Switch ON your phone without a SIM Card,
Lock the screen and the phone will ask you to do the unlock move,
Press sequences: Menu, Back, Back, Menu,Back,Menu, Menu, Back (in Mini models the menu button can be marked as a single larger square),
Select Service info,
Select SimLock,
If you see an X in the bracket [X] this means that lock is active
If do not see an x and you see [] this means that lock is not active
Check the number of attempts on your active lock
If it is higher than 0 then you can enter the code ok.
If it is 0 (like the image below) this means you cannot enter a code, so do not order one

Hey folks
Had a heap of credit that I won over Christmas for the DaVinci unlocking site. Have nothing to unlock myself, so I said I'd use some for my brother's X8 - to unlock to all networks.
Downloaded the tool, and updated it, and then followed the instructions.
Basically it came to a point where it asked to disconnect and turn the phone on again,and then connect to the computer, which I did - it then sat on "waiting" for like 10 mins.
We tried again (I had 100 credits) and it used another 50 credits, and ended on the same part, "waiting..."
So we gave up, and it was only a little later that we noticed that his phone has "no service".
I've tried restoring stock through the PC Companion tool, and then unlocking through Flashtool, but nothing's working.
Any ideas or suggestions?
I feel pretty crappy for messing up his phone, so any advice appreciated!
First what the hack is DaVinci thing ur talking about and 2nd i think that Davinci thing messed up a lil bit your motherboard.
Sent from my X8 using XDA
Thanks for replying!
Davinci's the unlocking site that I used when I had older SE phones like the C905 and W995 - http : // davinciteam .eu /index .html
I've contacted them for support, but received word that the site is all automatic now, and they don't have any customer support or aftercare.
Do you think the motherboard is repairable?
Is there anything that I can do to find out?
I've the flashtool installed and have s1tool also.
Let me see if I understand.Your problem is that GSM (phone call, sms) don't work ,right?
Even in the stock SE 2.1?
That's it exactly.
I've tried restoring using both PC Companion and SEUS.
Both complete and boot no problem, but they still say no service.
I can search and find networks, but when i select any of them it says "Your sim does not allow a connection to this network" after trying to connect for about 20 seconds.
Dude, i was searching answers and you're pretty much screwed up . There is one post that talks about this I guess, but don't remember where. So, try restore to stock 2.1, fully unlock bootloader properly and flash nAa-11 (for example) and a compatible rom. Wish U luck
It the thanks button if I helped
I've tried unlocking the bootloader with the flashtool and the msm7227 files, but neither seem to work...
I get a "protocol error" in the msm7227 way, and a "WARN Cancelled" error in the flashtool.
Is there another method to unlock the bootloader?
Do same proces again(unlocking),if is done,first relock and then flesh with seus to back again to new fresh 2.1 and then root and again do same process again but with seetol2

Before I try again - does this script from s1tool inidicate the phone is unlocked?

Unlock Bootloader
If the line RUNNING S1_EROM FROM VER "#8A02$" has a lowercase "r" letter replacing the "#" (RUNNING S1_EROM FROM VER "r8A02$"), your bootloader has been unlocked . If it has an uppercase "R" replacing the "#" (RUNNING S1_EROM FROM VER "R8A02$"), your bootloader is NOT unlocked .
read this!
hope can help your problem!
Why dont you check the manufacturing date with your IMEI number.. just write this in the dialing section: *#06# and your IMEI should appear.. then google to find the link for the manufacturing date checking online with the IMEI.

I've searched in the forum but i don't find solution..
Simply i relocked my bootloader with custom kernel (here is the fatal error) then i updated with SEUS to turn back at stock firmware.
Now the phone turn on and after type the sim pin, nothing appear on screen, only background with no service/radio. I can't navigate in any menu. I try repair s1boot with omnius but a testpoint cable is needed
Is there a free or pay way to repair my X8 with normal usb cable?
And what is corrupted? Trim area? S1 Boot? Thanks to all.
re-locking the bootloader on a custom kernel is... bad... but i guess you know that now
at least it still boots after re-stocking. have you tried to flash stock once more?
and if it's still not working, you've got no way to recover it yourself... (except you've got a jtag cable)
unlock bootloader and flash stock kernel
and then relock it
SOLVED !
First of all when i've used SEUS i think it has updated certificate because i was unable to re-unlock bootloader (unrecognized certificate instead os SEMC_simlock Certificate) when i unlocked first time some month ago with flash tool, it was semc i'm sure.
Second thing the phone was sim locked not carrier locked so it wanted his unique sim. this explain the full lost radio service. Anyway i used wotan server for unlock bootloader and sim network. maybe s1tool could work the same but i did not want to risk.

good afternoon, I have a problem with my xperia z1 c6903 when unlocking the bootloader I get a message that says your phone can not be officially unlocked that I should thank.
Apparently Sony has blocked the ability to unlock the bootloader on certain devices.
This is most likely the case if you got your phone from your carrier. Do you have a branded Z1?
You can also look up if this is the case by doing the following:
1. Open dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#*
2. Go to Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status.
3. "Bootloader unlock allowed" should say Yes
If it doesn't, then at least the official way of unlocking your device won't work.
Any "not official" way to unlock the bootloader? Mine is locked too and i want to install something new in that old one. Thanks in advance.
Mine says not posible but i read somewere that can be done
That's the thing, is an old smartphone today, i don't understand why only certains models can be unlocked. Now im on last oficial os (5.1.1). I get it root but i cant unlock the bootloader in any way.
