Hello,
Does anyone have an Xperia X8 from o2 UK because I need the customization code for it as I would like to update to the original firmware from SE and I don't want either Generic or any other crap.
Thank you.
You can get the customization code by:
1. Lock the screen of your phone. Press the menu button (left button) so that the screen is lit but still locked.
2. Press the home (central button) and back (right button) in following sequence:
home-back-back-home-back-home-home-back
Try several times if you can not do it the first time. when successful secret menu will appear. Go to Service info->Software info and find "customization version"
It should be something like 1241-3708_R3A (this is my code, your will be different but the same format).

Hello,
foremost thank you for your work and congratulations!
I have a problem with cyno mod 10 Updated (12/11/12) for my galaxy s, I want to use the unlock but when I unlock my phone, unlocking is done only by the pin code or pattern!
I have pressed twice on the power button after dragging the camera for the unlock works.
can you get directly from the camera before unlock pin code or pattern?
I am doing research but I have not found anything wrong or tried!!
Thank you in advance for your help

I have already enabled Face Unlock, but the screen lock is still Pattern Lock. Is this a bug ?
Additionally, When the screen is locked, I still can see the Home button and Back button, they shouldn't appear on unlock screen.
Anyone who knows why ?

in my experience when i enabled pattern; face lock, swipe lock disabled automatically
and when i lock screen in pattern mode lock screen i m not seeing home btn or back btn
if u use custom rom Or kernel this bug should be for that
if u r completely stock so try to flash another **STOCK firmware/kernel
or
- repair with update service tool
- update to latest firmware
:good:

Thanks for your reply, and I have resolved this issue. The root cause is I installed SmartKey app. After uninstalled the SmartKey app, the Face Unlock is useable, the home and back button disappeared on unlock screen.
Hi folks,
I've upgraded/replaced the original TMobile firmware (14.5.B.0.247) on my Xperia Z1s (c6916) by c6906 Customized US (14.6.A.0.368). Everything works fine except few things like:
1) screen rotation - when i try to rotate the screen into the landscape mode - it turn the screen in opposite direction/backwards. Looks like the sensor readings get reversed? It was working fine before the upgrade, hence it looks like a software issue. Any ideas how to fix it?
2) device memory is twice less but it is kind of expected because original Z1 has only 16 Gb of storage onboard. Is there any way to fix that?
Thanks.

ok, here is a "solution":
The C6906 "/etc/sensor_def_qcomdev.conf" must be replaced by C6916 version. The same applies to CyanogenMod 12.1. C6916 have different settings for few things.
I downloaded TMO firmware, extracted system.sin and replaced the file on my phone running CyanogenMod 12.1 - after reboot rotation works perfectly but it will get broken as soon as i upgrade the firmware
how did nobody catch that this dude managed to flash a different firmware on a phone that is supposedly NOT unlockable? Shefys, you need to explain exactly what you did. In another thread you said you unlocked your Z1s c6916 on developer.sony.com and i tried it, but there was no Z1s option. Followed the steps anyways by selecting Xperia Z1 but the unlock command failed citing not allowed.

How you did this? I hard bricked my Xperia Z1S putting the 5.1.1 fimware, I needed to buy a new board because I had no solution.

hi, i wasn't aware that you cannot unlock z1s booloader. I just went to the developer site, registered, submitted my imei (as a Z1) and got a link/key to unlock it.... maybe my imei was lucky. Sorry, folks. Right now I'm running CM12 on my Z1s. Can provide photos if you want to
Before unlocking the bootloader, i was running C6906 official firmware on my phone because it was newer.

I tried to use the C6943 firmware .368 and hard bricked..... I will try on Sony's site unlock my bootloader...
Yes please post pics. I tried unlocking my z1s as a z1 just like that but it didn't work. The fastboot command to process the unlock returned a "not allowed" error.
If you can get to the service screen, there is a section where it says "unlockable: no". (Or yes). Can you post a picture of that?
How did you get on the 6906 firmware?
How to unlock with flashtool

after you take the link and after that you take the unlock code just have to unlock with flashtool:
1.) create a folder in the flashtool folder with your device code ... mine is : D:\Android\Flashtool\custom\mydevices\CB5A1WPPTA
2.) inside the folder, create a file called ulcode.txt , in the file just copy the unlock code
3.) open flashtool (be sure that your phone have enable usb debug and connected) and press BLU (bootloader Unlock)
4.) after that a window will appear with your code and the phone id, you select unlock and now you have the xz1s unlocked...
BE AWARE: in my case, the camera doesnt focus after unlocked and video just doesnt work...
for the rom, i think you could take it using xperifirm and installing with flashtool

I'll have to try this and report back. I understand that unlocking the bootloader causes issues with the camera, but does the issue get resolved by flashing a ROM? Or does it stay broken?

I had same problem. I think you tried to unlock bootloader and relock it using wrong key.
Kindly follow the below steps.
DO NOT UNLOCK OR RELOCK WITH "fastboot"
use flashtool and go to relock bootloader.
upon locking reboot device.
if it do not boot, follow locking / unlocking twice or thrice..the tool must say "completed successfully"
reboot (automatically or manually)
It will work like charm. Do not go to service center, because those mules will look at screen and say "Display has gone" and it will cost RS 8000/- INR to get it repaired.
Cheers

Its been 4 days so you may have probably found a solution but just in case you haven't, here goes -
The other poster gave you a lot of info about bootloader unlocking but nowhere in your post have you mentioned anything about unlocking so I'll assume you are trying to recover from a bad flash or a malfunctioning system.
Which OS are you on?
Have you installed ZR (dogo) drivers along with fastboot/flashmode drivers?
Did you try another cable? Maybe another PC?
Are you letting go of the Volume button too soon before the flashing process begins?
Have you tried older firmware like KK or JB? For some reason I was having boot loop issues with stock LP just the other day so I flashed a KK firmware and it booted just fine. Even installed a custom MM rom later.

So true!
I once had an Xperia M that needed a power button replacement - they saw my phone had a custom ROM and told me they would have to "upgrade" the software whilst fixing the power button and with a straight face, gave me a number well north of 10K. I paid less to purchase the phone. It was the last time I ever went to a Sony service center.
Also I have unlocked 3-4 phones using Sony's procedure and I have had zero issues with fastboot. If I am not mistaken the unlock/relock option in FlashTool just automates the procedure so you don't have to type in those commands but either way fastboot mode/drivers are a necessity.
