Good day !
I have come across a situation of unknown bootloader of SK17 .
I found some shop in Hong Kong is selling some cheap SK17 (not sure if it is the same as SK17i) . I asked the shop keeper and they said that the bootloader is locked , but without SIM lock .
So , will someone confirm me if this situation is possible ? As I read some post in this form it indicate that locked bootloader is usually because it is branded , i.e. SIM locked . If it is SIM free version does it mean I can make the bootloader unlock ?
And , what if the system shows "Bootloader unlockable ? No" ? Is there any way to work around this issue to make the bootloader unlock ?
Thanks so much !

Hi!
A simlock is something totally different to the bootloader´s lock.
No Simlock means that you can use any sim of any provider you like and who´s band is supported by phone´s hardware.
The bootloader ist locked by sony basically to prevent people from removing the sony Firmware even if it is not branded. A second issue is probably to prevent people from unlocking and playing with the firmware who do not know what they do.
Before the lock of the bootloader it was easy for everyone with one-click-tools or similar to root the phone. This could have led to many RMA procedures at Sony
But there must be a possibility to unlock it due to the terms of open source software.
So there is no need for you to unlock the bootloader as it takes any simcard anyway.
What the issue about sk17i sk17 and sk17a is, I do not know yet. But I´m curious about it
hi... how to know that your xperia mini pro unlock already in bootloader?
my rooting status is,
Bootloader unlock allowed: YES
is it already unlock in bootloader?? or not
It meens that it is be allowed to unlock your bootloader. It means not that your bootloader *is* unlocked.
Hi Poedel ,
Yes I understand SIM locked and Bootloader locked is different . But I wish to install 3rd party roms (CM7 rulez) , so I still wish to know how to unlock the bootloader .
So maybe I change a little bit about my question .
1) a sim unlocked device with locked bootloader (bootloader unlock allowed : no) cannot unlock due to the SIM lock . Then will it allow to unlock if the device change to SIM unlocked ?
2) Any method to work around the locked bootloader (bootloader unlock allowed : no)
3) Any way to unlock the bootloader if IMEI code cannot be used to extract the unlock code ? As I know some of the shop will use flash rom writer to wipe with another device firmware and IMEI will changes (it happens last time when I buy a X01HT) .
Thanks a lot !

this is still confusing The simlock does not take care at all if there is a bootloader-lock or not. I never ask someone if I am allowed, definetly not mr. simlock
2) Any method to work around the locked bootloader (bootloader unlock allowed : no)
3) Any way to unlock the bootloader if IMEI code cannot be used to extract the unlock code ? As I know some of the shop will use flash rom writer to wipe with another device firmware and IMEI will changes (it happens last time when I buy a X01HT) .

okay, usually you'll go to the sony's dev site bootloaderunlockl.sonyericsson.com (don't know the correct sub, could be correct) and authenticated by your IMEI and email you'll get the unlock code. Without IMEI you won't be able to unlock. But even if you IMEI changed you can try the current IMEI. What I think is that Sony just saves the Email and IMEI into a mySQL Database to cope with the situation if your device enters RMA à la "you unlocked, your fault". It would be rather not the way that they look if your current IMEI really belongs to the device there. I would simply try it. BUT!
There is a post where a method is shown to root your ph0ne without unlocking the bootloader.
So here are both links:
rooting without unlocking not tested by me (even not yet read *covering*)
default way like I did it
Dear Poedel ,
Thanks , that's exactly what I wish to know .
So in worst case if bootloader is not going to unlock in normal way , I should use the test point function to bypass it and flash another room and firmware into it , and unlock the bootloader again ?
Thanks very much !

Hi sorry my bad english
I need some help with my sony xperia mini pro.
I bought a used sk17i a few months ago.
I want to root and install a Custom rom to this phone, ics etc.
My problem:
-the phone is unlocked on 2.3.3 ( i try to official update 4.0.2.A.0.62 but the phone is died. i go back to store and his service is fix them but i dont know how to unlock this phone and im afraid to kill the phone if i want to root or install a custom rom)
-*#*#service#*#* say Bootloader unlock allowed: no ( i don't understand how, i read so many forums and all say if the phone is already unlocked the Bootloader unlock allowed: yes , and if Bootloader unlock allowed: no, i cant unlock bootloader and cant unlock the phone)
-
ABOUT THE PHONE:
model: sk17i
android: 2.3.3

IMEI: 11w33
so i need some help if i root and install a custom rom i able to unlock the phone? and how ?
Thank you guys!!!
If it says that you can't unlock, you can try something through Wotan, but I don't have any experience with that. If you don't want to perform any risks you can always install stock-based ROM (Zelly Cream, Viper etc.) even without unlocked bootloader.
Hmmm...you must be confuse with operator lock and bootloader lock....
Operator lock is when you can only use one services provider on your phone....you cannot use any other services provider...if you phone can use different services provider then your operator lock has been unlock...
Bootloader lock meanwhile is a lock that prevent you to use custom kernel on your phone...still you can use custom roms that is base on stock kernel...since in services menu you bootloader unlock allowed = no, you cant unlock your bootloader (correct me if i'm wrong)....trying to unlock it means that you have 99% chances of bricking your phone....
FYI : Wotan server is for unlocking operator lock not for unlocking bootloader (correct me if i'm wrong).....
Ok but i dont know if i install a new rom i lose my unlock or i have them with the new rom?

Yes wotan server is for unlocking operator lock all round the country...you should check it out first but are you sure your phone is operator lock??? did you try to put other sim card from different operator into your phone??? does other sim card work??? if is not working then i believe it is operator lock....

had once tried to update ( w seus) but the phone was dead. I'm afraid that if I try again, it happens again and I do not want to bring back to repairing service center. recently to a service also said that they will not be updated over the phone (say I do not understand why). it would be advisable to first figure out how to be unlocked and maybe i might see why the phone dies.

Hmmm....if you haven't unlock the bootloader then updating using SEUS will not brick your phone....phone with unlock bootloader cannot use SEUS to update...only Flashtool can help unlock bootloader update the firmware....
as for your problem, if you are afraid to use SEUS again the use Flashtool....you can find Flashtool and all the necessary files (stock ttf, kernel, custom kernel and custom roms) HERE.....
I would like to know if anyone has succsefully unlocked bootloader or even entered fastboot mode on xperia go on o2 network uk as mine wont enter fastboot to unlock it i have done it a million times before with every other phone including xperia go on another network but this is a problem as most the roms out are for unlocked bootloader
Does it say bootloader unlockable in the service menu?
...
it says its not and it cant get into fastboot?
same problem
My mates st27i is o2 network and I cant flash kernels fastboot or unlock boot so stuck with stock based roms I need a solution to debrand it I have contacted o2 several times and all I could get was unlock network code lol there gurus said its possible but they cant advise me on how because they have been paid to put certain apps in there o2 roms.
Hello
I used old version of galaxsim unlock to take down simlock. Here are results:
EFS v: v1
Nv data consistency: consistent
AcceptdbMCC/MNC: all
Network lock: unlocked
Subset network lck: unlocked
SP lock: unlocked
CP lock: unlocked
Data lock: unlocked
CSC lock: locked
Did i take down simlock succesfully? As you can see CSC lock is still locked. Can i go to EFS v2 and change to after this operation?
Thanks
Test it with a sim from another network, once it's unlocked it should stay unlocked after efs v2. But if you've corrupted efs in the unlock process then the update will screw you up.
hi guys , got big problem .
tried to get a stock phone ... so deactivated oem in settings then locked bootloader , phone started to bootloop. i know that this can happen if your bootloader is unlocked, strange thing is that in fastboot mode it states as phone relock und frp lock .
i tried dc phoenix and here result of checked bootloader : OEM lock state info:
FB LockState: LOCKED
USER LockState: RELOCKED
OEM get bootinfo:
unlocked
Oem shouldn't have been toggled.
Phone state will remain relocked after relocking the bootloader.
Try dload method with stock firmwares and see if it makes a difference. If not, boot to erecovery and download full firmware.
erecovery = getting package info failed
dload = software install failed
Isnt there any Chance repairing it?
