i know some of you have this problem and worries that something wrong happend during the process of unlocking your phone. well that's the same thing i was thinking about 3 days now and trying to figure it out how to fix this. i just a noobie here and new for all this android thingy but i guess im just lucky fixing it.
by reading again the thread of how to unlock. it mention there that your phone might have a sim lock. this might be the problem so i search some thread related to this and guess what a found the answer!
now here's how to fix it.
1. after unlocking your phone using msm7227_setool2. check if you have network signal so you won't do the step 2 of this thread.
2. now if there's no signal, open again your msm7227 folder (which is the unlock bootloader tool) and you will see there's another tool which is ms7227_semc.
3. put to debugging mode then connect your usb to your PC.
4. run the ms7227_semc and wait till it done.
5. reboot your phone and you already have network signal again.
i hope that this help you specially for those who are new to this kind of stuff..
it really work....thx a lot..my phone have the signal back again...
U mean that it supposed to have a weak signall,or no signal at all?

you may try it too. but most of the time after unlocking have no signal at all because of the sim-Lock.
@mhieyato : if unlocking using msm7227_setool2 i put to debugging mode or NOT, if not to put debugging mode that tools can't running or stuck in " getting ROOT rights"...
Please explain step by step master...

As a wild guess I'd say you're not on Stock Kernel/ROM but some custom kernel/ROM.
Restore back to Stock Kernel/ROM.
EDIT: Oh wait, you're from the Unlocking Guide ... *should ID nicknames first*
Well, this can now be interesting to see if you can manage to unlock the boot loader again with nAa's Kernel flashed - as there's also no way to go back to Stock Kernel (through Flashtool, PCC, SEUS) while the boot loader is locked. :s
it works!
thanks a lot!

hi, i have a question about this fix, i unlocked a Xperia X8 (E15a) with octopus suite and then ''no service'' this post work for me? thanks for your help.
yey it worked for me.. after 1 year of giving up on my xperia, i found this post then i thoght why not give it a shot.. then boom it worked.. thanks for the post ^_^
Wow!! Thanks you have saved my phone from "no service" this thingy
yeah it really works!
I was about to put my phone in my garbage, thanks
Hiya guys,
I'm new to the Sony side of things, I'm usually a HTC user but my mother has just got herself an X8 E15i and I am having a few problems with it and was hoping people could help?
firstly, I rooted, UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, flashed a custom kernel (X8_v08a-cm7_Alfs_djnilse) & GingerZaraki-v05.
Then I had no signal at all, so I thought "ok, flash a newer baseband to attempt fix"
but alas, no joy.
I have then accidently relocked the bootloader :faceplant:
This has now caused her to have no signal... oops... arn't us teenagers great
and then I have read HERE that it is fixable, and I have followed the steps listed but I still can not get signal.
every time I run either script msm7227_semc.cmd OR msm7227_setool2.cmd they both get root, reboot, but still can not get signal.
EDIT: copy of cmd results...

its obviously gettting root, but what does 'protocol fault: no status' mean?
and I know that the bootloader is locked because I have used "x8toolbox.final" which I found on here - I would give the maker of it the credit but can not remember who it was.
So at present my mother has a x8 e15i, running 2.1.1 but can't have signal at all??
EDIT1: please help or I think I am in trouble here...
EDIT2: Doesn't matter now guys, after soft-bricking and Hard-bricking (attempted bootloader unlock fail) the X8, I have resurrected it!
and I have successfully rooted (4th time tonight) and now I have flashed GingerDX, which is running great with the GingerDX O/C Kernel

Well for Omnius sim unlock problem you have the answer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911915
Did not unlock bootloader but have 3 phones with same issues
In response to what you said, I have 3 Xperia X8's with the same issue but all were unrooted using superoneclick and then loaded gingerdx on them. They worked fine for about 2 months then on all 3 phones (friends) one by one they ended up accidentally putting their sim unlock pin code into the network unlock code thing that pops up on the gingerdx rom and all ended up with no signal at all.. I dont have seTool 2 pro only lite and i cant find any way to get the phone fixed. i live in southern Africa so limited resources etc.. PLEASE HELP

Hello everyone,
I haven't run into this issue with my prior HTC One, but this one is giving me issues and I cannot find a solution. Hopefully someone can help out... I tried using the S-OFF revone method. It wasn't working, even though it said successful, my bootloader still said S-ON. So, giving up and going to moonshine's method I go to unlock my bootloader on this phone following the directions on HTC Dev's site to a tee, and the device still shows **** LOCKED ****. I attempted this process twice to no avail. I am not sure where to go from here.
When attempting the process a second time, I even downloaded a new Unlock_code.bin thinking the file could have been corrupted. I also ran command prompt as administrator.
The entire process appears to work, phone prompts to unlock, I press volume up to select "Yes unlock bootloader (may void warranty)" Press power to confirm, device is wiped and I am brought to the initial setup screen. Reboot the device and it still says **** LOCKED *****.
Exact same issue here.

Did you try revone before unlocking your bootloader? I wonder if something with revone corrupted something on our phones... I sure hope not...
Just as an added post:
I have tried clearing cache via fasboot erase cache, as well as doing a full factory reset, same issue.
I sure did try to get S-OFF unsuccessfully and then tried to unlock via HTC-Dev unsuccessfully. I'll be returning the handset to the store if this cannot be resolved, hehe.
I see you are also Aussie is your M7 an unbranded 64gb model by any chance?

Good luck with the new one! =) I am just going to sit here and keep running the revone software, as I have nothing else to lose at this point and hope I get a pass. I figure if I can get it to pass and succeed at S-OFF, maybe it will uncorrupt whatever happened.

Wanted to post a reply... After 4 hours of trying, I finally got it to work. S-OFF and unlocked bootloader! =D
Steps I took:
1.) adb push revone /data/local/tmp
2.) adb shell
3.) cd /data/local/tmp
4.) chmod 755 revone
5.) ./revone -P
At this point I kept getting all sorts of failures. It kept spamming about "Unable to map memory." I stayed within the SAME adb console, pressed the UP arrow to repeat the last command, and just kept repeating this process. Sometimes it would crash and just reboot the phone, sometimes it would give an error message saying I needed to reboot the phone.
I had to have repeated step 5, at least,without exaggerating, 40-50 times maybe even more. Finally, it said Success, Reboot phone to continue. I then followed the following:
6.) Rebooted phone.
7.) Closed my command prompt and opened a new prompt once phone was rebooted.
8.) adb shell
9.) cd /data/local/tmp
10.) ./revone -s 0 -u
It reported a success instantly. I pressed the power button on my phone and pressed restart. I held volume down and low and behold I was finally granted the S-OFF and Unlocked status!!!!! I'm ecstatic!
That's deadly bro well done for persisting, I already got a replacement too so looks like both of us are winners, I'll try your mothod but not before HTC Dev unlock.
Regards
EDIT: New unit will not except unlock code either and this is before trying s-off, very strange I shall contact HTC and find out what is going on.
Wow... I thought it was revone, as I don't usually believe in coincidence. Lol. Seems HTC has some sort of issue, maybe generating corrupted Unlock_code.bin files... Good luck when you contact them!

I have a German rooted P880, but the bootloader is locked. I remember there was a link to check if the firmware is unlockable, but I can't find it anymore. It was a search in an online database. AFAIR it was a hidden note.
I have read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224020 and can't find it there. Also I read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147879 . There have been written so many things since the last months, so I am interested if there is something new.

You told me to read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38934517&postcount=6 right? Here is explained how to change the IMEI-Nr. of another phone. Hmmh, I don't know if it is a good idea to use a faked IMEI for unlocking the bootloader.
Maybe I found, what I didn't understand. I have to check the Software-version in the phone-menu and it says P88020a-262-000. So I do not have a 234 phone. It is so easy, if you know it.
any and all Jellybean versions of our phone can have their bootloader unlocked. you haven't been on the forum for few months, so at first only eur-xxx versions were unlockable, but then the method to unlock ALL other versions appeared by editing fuse. search for more info please
edit:
do NOT change your IMEI. there is no need.

If you are prepared to unlock your phone then you have to assume that you cannot relock it - because even if you do, LG can see what you have done.
If something goes wrong in the warranty period, such as the screen dying, they should repair it (but may not).
Simply, if you are worried about your warranty then leave you phone alone.
it's possible to relock it i think, but as SimonTS said, they can easily check (by checking fuse file)
and yeah, on linux it should be as easy as echoing the right value into the file. if that doesnt work, try copying the file into temporary folder, echo proper value in that file, then replace the original file with the temp file. good luck!
I am very unsure if I should unlock at the moment, because I noticed some strange things which could be a hardware or a software error. One problem is, that the screen stays black if I call one and he doesn't answer, looks like it is a sensor problem, but sometimes it works, espcecially after a restart. The 2nd problem is a character problem with music-metadata. The mad thing is, that some Arabic, Greek, a.s.o characters are displayed correctly, while others are not. The same files are correct with other android phones. I think it is LG related.

about sensor issue, you can fix it by recalibrating your proximity sensor via hidden menu (also, i dont have this problem on most custom roms i used).
dont really know about the issue with characters, so cant give you any advice
Thank you for pointing me to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34669449&postcount=8
I fear the character problem with mp3-metadata is a very special one. One could be, that UTF-8 is generally used, which is wrong with ID3v2.3, because this supports UTF-16 only. But if mp3s are coded with UTF-8 and v2.4 the problem remains. I do not know any other Android-Phone or Bada-phone (Samsung) which has problems with such files, only the P880 does. The strange thing is too, that the default music-player has this problem, as well as PlayerPro, but RocketPlayer shows the characters correctly.
I have done what was on the HTCDev website, no luck. I have done all I can and haven't been able to succeed. I'm ranging across a plethora of problems, sometimes I can't get the phone to be recognized through fastboot, other times I can't get the authorization to work the chmod 777 command to allow for access, most of the time I just keep getting the "command not found" or things of that sort. I'm getting so furious at this process because this is the ONLY phone i've ever had any problem trying to root and I can't even get past the damn bootloader. Wtf?! Doesn't anyone have a program or something I can use besides have to screw around with Terminal constantly?

Hello,
I lose the lock and unlock sounds, because I tried to change it by adb comands like an old post that works on others devices I have, creating media folder and put the files here, and using the correct commands.
But now, with the unlock sounds buttom on (sorry for my bad english) I hear nothing while lock and unlock my phone.
Anyone can help me with this?
Many thanks for your attention.
