Hi
today i sim-unlocked my Xperia X8 using Omnius, but now i want to unlock the bootloader to install a different kernel from the stock kernel.
Following the instructions below http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225, when i start the file msm7227_omniusSL.cmd i get this:

but than if i verify with s1tool, i get the message (RUNNING S1_EROM VER" R8A029 ") and so bootloader has not been unlocked.
Does anyone know a solution?
I used Omnius for SE v0.27
Thanks a lot
I have the same problem ...
me too...any news?
Same for me!
Any of you with original 2.1??? Maybe it only works on original 2.1, I remember that I had to change from rom to original 2.1 so I could unlock with Omnius.

Hi,
I have been making some experiences and I think that all of us want to unlock boot loader to be able to change kernel.
So it's true that using the omnius method it doesn't work but if we use semc method it works, but we loose radio.
So my idea was:
1- Unlock with SEMC method
2- Apply custom kernel
3- Unlock with Omnius method (this will relock bootloader but recover radio)
I have tried 1 and 3 and worked, I'm just affraid that also doing nº2 might bring some problems, what's your opinion?
Found my answer!-""If you relock your bootloader while using a custom kernel your phone will be bricked!""
Somebody already unlocked bootloader anyone of you?
I have searched I never found anyone that sim-unlocked with omnius and then unlocked bootloader

I just found out this myself. After wasting $100 (Sale Price) for the omnius unlocker. They never stated anywhere that it would relock bootloader, nor did they mention it could be unlocked. After an inquiry, I was told that msm7227_OmniusSL.cmd should help me...? So I am off on another research adventure. Not to mention I cannot even get my phone to "register on the network". Anyone want a Omnius License with 11months and 2weeks with 4 x10 unlock credits? I take paypal! I just knew I should have ordered the sekey and waited a month for it to arrive from hong kong. I truly feel like I got the "Royal Shaft!".
Can anyone help?
@unimatrix725 if you made a backup of your TA, then you could restore your TA as it was before you unlocked with omnius, so you can unlock your bootloader, the only downside is that your phone will be sim-locked once again, oh and watch out, because you can only restore TA with an active omnius account, i.e. have a 1 day/month/year account, so if you want to restore your TA you should do it before selling your credits
i hate that the only safe way to have both bootloader and sim unlocked is with setools, because the credits i dont mind, but the activation fee is too much price for unlocking one phone
well,for our x8 device,we can actually unlock bootloader using flashtool(latest one)
here a complete tutorial with picture that i manage to safe as pdf file(for my future use) and i think it might help,but it actually from x10 forum,however i already test it myself,and work it for our x8,to unlock the bootloader,follow this step carefully
press thanks if i help
he he he, sorry i think i misspoke that, what i meant was have unlocked sim with setools and unlock bootloader with any other method, not necessary both with setools , if someone could fix the my7227bootwrite_omniusSL so everyone that unlocked their sim with omnius could unlock the bootloader would be great, but i haven't seen any dev interested in helping us ...

OK EVERYONE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM HERE IS HOW TO FIX IT!! After network unlocking your phone with Omnius and you then want to unlock the bootloader follow this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225. You will be using tool msm7227_setool2.cmd to unlock your bootloader. When you have unlock the bootloader install a custom kernel then install your custom rom I suggest GingerDx. (I am not going to get into how to flash a custom kernel or roms there is loads of threads to help you with that). You will notice the network does not work (no coverage). Download the stock kernel from the link above. Flash the stock kernel then use msm7227_OmniusSL.cmd to lock your bootloader. This may take a few times and a bit of patience before the bootloader locks. Now you will have coverage and be able to use any sim card in your phone. Custom kernels dont work after using omnius network unlock tool. It always ends up with no coverage. So just stay on stock kernel. If you need to update your rom you will have to go through the whole method again. I have attached the bootloader unlocking/relocking tools below
I HOPE THIS HELPED EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM IF YOU NEED ANY HELP PM AND I WILL HELP THE BEST I CAN

I want to try this, but I've a dumb question... why do I need to install the custom kernel and then the stock one? .... why not just flash the rom alone?

Hey guys, I am fairly new to the android phones, (recently came from an iPhone) but I had heard so much about the freedoms with the Android os so I decided to switch.
I purchased the Sony Xperia T (LT30a) locked on the Bell mobility LTE network. I have really wanted to unlock the bootloader, so when I went in to check it said "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO". after some searching I read that it was my carrier preventing the bootloader from being unlocked, and that if I followed the following simple steps, it would change the message to :"Bootloader Unlock Allowed: YES". so here is what I did:
1. Flashed a Generic firmware to my phone (ICS it was a uk generic) which then changed my model number in "About phone" from LT30a to LT30p and removed all the bell branding.
2. Using an IMEI number, i was able to get an unlock code and unlocked the phones sim card to work on any network, and have tested and it does work.
the problem I am having is that even after doing this, the bootloader is still "locked" and can not be unlocked. I have taken a look at the methods for the test pin, but that involves removing the battery to view the motherboard, which sucks because this phone the battery is not removable. if anyone know a free or paid way to unlock the bootloader on the Xperia T LT30a or LT30p models, please let me know! thanks.
I dont know where you read that, but it is wrong and there is no way to change that message.
If it says no, then your bootloader can not be unlocked.
Its not Sony's fault, its not googles fault, its Bells fault for being a dev unfriendly provider.
Test point method will not work even if we could remove the battery, that loophole has been closed in 2012 devices.

ok well thank you very much! I guess my next question is.. is there any way at all to install a custom ROM such as cyanogen mod 10 ? or if you know of any better ones while my bootloader is locked?

You can only install stock based custom roms because you wony be able to flash a custom kernel with a locked bootloader. Therefore there is no hope for cyanogenmod, AOKP or MUIU
There are several in the Dev section to choose from, ranging from early ICS firmwares to the latest JB firmware.
I dont recommend Roms (Even my own) as choosing a rom should be a personal thing, but the I am currently on Timin8rs rooted and deodexed JB rom which you can flash.
You will need to root your phone in order to flash a recovery, then flash the .zip for the rom using that recovery.
Find all instructions for doing that in the All in one thread. Its the first thread in the Q&A section.
good luck and if you need extra help after reading up on what you need to do then ask. But remember to read up first!

thank you very much! hopefully sometime in the near future they come out with a way to fix this problem, and believe me, I do not blame sony at all for this
Sorry for the double post! But I just wanted to say, that if anyone needs help testing different roms and/or ways of unlocking a locked bootloader, I do have a sim unlocked xperia T and just wanted to throw this out, but if sony does not "perma lock" the bootloader, and if it is infact the carrier, then would this not prove that it is sonething in the firmware? I spoke with my sister who is a manager for a bell store here, acording to her, Bell is not authorized to open, or attempt to fix this phone, it is simply sent to sony for repairs.. Just makes me wonder because if Bell can not open the phone, then they must have used some sort of software.. I have always thought of software as "semi-permenant" that it can be reversed , and that its only a matter of figuring out how to reverse it?

Hi all,
New to the Xperia Scene. I've rooted and unlocked HTC's in the past with sucess but I've come into contact with a XPERIA Z locked to the "3" network.
How would I unlock it & remove the "3" crap off it and flash a STOCK rom - Not really interested in a custom rom.
Thanks for any help given
EDIT - Just checked the Rooting Status info and it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed : NO - Am I out of luck?

You will need to get a SIM unlock code either directly from 3 UK or search for a service online (Usually they are about 15-20£) if you want to get rid of SIM unlock. Then you can,but don't have to unlock the BOOTLOADER (if you wanna flash custom ROMs not based on stock such as CM, AOKP etc you will need to unlock it but bare in mind that Bravia Engine 2 will be permanently lost unless you backup the phone). If you want stock based ROMs just root the phone using one of the methods found in xda. You can also checkout my youtube channel for a video guide on how to root and get custom recovery. Good luck
Yes - all UK carrier Xperias have non-unlockbale bootloaders. You are out of luck.
If you have any desire to go Custom on any phone brand, always stick to factory sim free unbranded. Period.
You've also posted this in the wrong section.

I would just want to put my UK Orange SIM in and remove the 3 branded logo's etc. If I can't do this, I'll eBay the phone.

You can - get your sim unlock code, dial *#*#7465625#*#* in the dialer, input code then press unlock (this saves the trouble of finding another simcard. You of course need to use another sim card to test it - but hey, you wouldn't be unlocking otherwise )
You will then need to root and install a recovery - tons of threads about on that one. Then just flash any generic firmware (I'm using [NUT]'s Belgian Generic one) - ti won't have any carrier crap on it at all.
Alternatively, once rooted just use titanium backup to uninstall any stuff you don't like.
I've got a Three XZ as well and the bootloaders are NOT unlockable - there may be some joy with a KEXEC module if any of the devs get one to work, but until then you will be stuck with stock variants. I'm on the verge of ebaying myself for this reason.

If someone can unlock a 3 or any carrier bootloader without JTAG and Sony proprietary software then it will be a first.
Don't post questions in Development, thread moved.

Yup..but make sure that you only flash c6902 ftf..or you will problems later...in locked bootloaders you cant flash custom kernels..thats it..as long as it is stock you can flash it..

Branded phone. on stock 14.2.a.1.136
I have a question, Would my phone Imei number set itself to 000000000 if I flash the kitkat rom for my device? I tried flashing a stock rom on another build number which was unbranded and that resulted in no service, no connection to my sim manufacturer or able to look up the kernel, nothing worked. So please reply to my post. My phone is bound for 12 months and I would really like to flash a custom rom like Cyanogen on my device. Is there a way to do this or do I have to wait for a year?
After searching the xda forums I finally found a way to get my phone service up and running again.
My phone is Sony Xperia z1 build 6903 Stock 14.2.a.1.136. bound to a norwegian phone service named Telenor.
Any help or tips are much appreciated, I would really like to avoid encountering the same problem again it costed me alot of grief and will not continue to flash or do anything regarding my phone until someone would be kind enough to point me towards the how to's. Thank you for reading
The "how to's" are very well sign posted in the general and development threads, they are stickies
No, you will not lose IMEI

you cant use cyanogen rom bcoz it needs a custom kernel, and for you to be able to flash custom kernel you must have an unlocked bootloader..
im not an expert here but i think you cant unlock your bootloader if it is simlocked to your operator
you can only use modified stock rom as mention here by "gregbradley"
so i think you'll have to wait for 12 months for you to flash cyanogen based rom
Sim lock had nothing to do with boot loader unlock. Some Sim locked devices can be unlocked, some Sim free devices can not be unlocked

Well i already have the sim unlock code. so i Will still use the same sim card, but how do warp into the sim unlock mode? I tried setting in another sim card but the phone just asked me to insert the pin for that as well. Then again I would love to unlock my phone and use the same sim card, only difference the phone will be totally mine. So i can flash whatever rom and kernel that suits me. I have been using cyanogen since day one and would love continue to do so.

Your SIM unlock code will not unlock the bootloader, so you will still be unable to flash custom kernels.
Please read what I have said, SIM unlock has nothing to do with Bootloader unlock.
It is true most branded phones have bootloaders which cannot be unlocked and most SIM free phones canbe unlocked. But that is not an exclusive rule.
If you cannot unlock it now, entering a SIM unlock code will NOT unlock your bootloader.
To enter your SIM unlock code, contact your provider who would have given it to you.

You may want to not show your IMEI number to the world.
You can now goto the Sony website and unlock your bootloader using the official way. You can do this whilst you are still SIM locked, proving my point that SIM lock has nothing to do with bootloader unlock
What possible harm can be done with my imei number? Well sim lock certainly voids the service connection flashing builds earlier than 290.

I deleted the post, now final question deleting the sim lock literally will then not unlock my bootloader, that I am able to do as of now. But Completely deleting the sim lock will then leave my phone at my disposal, right? Since I have the sim unlock code, but I need to know how to remove the sim lock from my phone, cause using another sim card, which is not from the same company does not jump start the unlock mode.
Tell me if I got everything right. when I insert the sim unlock the sim lock will be completely gone from my phone right? regardless of what kernel or rom I use? and it can never come back?

Yes, just ask the provider of the sim unlock code how to enter it. It should be your network provider. SIM locks or restrictiosn are nothing to do with firmware, android versions or kernels.
Your bootloader can be unlocked now by visiting the official sony website.
Please do not confuse bootloader and sim lock. they are two different issues and you keep talking as if they are related.
Hi! Im a little newbie but still trying . Sadly Sony abandoned us with a laggy compilation of happy thoughts. I my Sp have both root and recovery installed to delete bloatware. Im stuck with .205 stock and probably wont receive .207 anytime soon, so now that sony won't release kitkat its time for CUSTOM ROMS yeah!. I wanted to try the lastest release on nightly, the snapshot is like 2 months old (don't know if matters but for tweakers we have to test until we are happy )
Sadly for any rom, I need to unlock my bootloader but i can't. when i type the #*#*xxxx, says NO to unlockable bootloader, and when I use Flashtool doesn't work, still says that my device cannot be unlocked :S. Is there anyway to unlock the bootloader? Saw some solutions about flashing without unlocking but im afraid to brick the phone xd
I need some big help! will be appreciated ;D

But i saw that some of the LBL have many bugs on forums. What i need is that can run some demanding games like real racing 3 and Wi-fi Hotspot working. Is there anyone you can recommend based on cm11 m11?
