UNLOCK XPERIA 2011 PHONE'S BOOTLOADER (TEST POINT METHOD)

Why need to unlock bootloader ?
- To install custom roms and custom kernels (like CyanogenMod and MIUI) on Xperia devices.

Why Test Point Method ?
- Test Point Method is the easier way to unlock your phone's bootloader . It also will keep your DRM keys.
- Instead of using test pointer , I'll use copper wire because it more easy to do.
- If you want to use test pointer , you can refer to the original article here.
- If you want to use the official ways , refer here , but you will lose the DRM keys if you use this method.

Check Your Phone

1. Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and choose Service Info then choose Configuration , you will see IMEI number, Version and Rooting Status.
2. If under Rooting Status it shows "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: Yes" that means fastboot is enabled and the bootloader can be unlocked and you can follow this procedure.
3. If you see "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No" that means fastboot is disabled and the bootloader cannot be unlocked , in this case DO NOT follow this method otherwise it will bring troubles.
4. Check the week production of your phone under the battery (e.g 12w14). If your phone is after 12w14 you can't use this unofficial ways because your phone contains a new mcu security . If you persist to continue , you will got this error instead.



Requirements

1. USB Cable.
2. Aluminium / Copper Wire (6/8 inches).
3. Pin or Paper Clip.
4. S1Tool , download from Dropbox.

Prepare Test Pointer

1. Take the wire and connect the wire to the pin (you can also use paper clip or any needle like thing).


2. Connect the second end to the USB cable.


3. Turn off your phone , remove battery cover and battery.
4. Remove the test point cap.

Connecting Phone

1. Connect your phone to the PC using USB cable .
2. Connect the pin to the test point (red point in the images)

Xperia Pro (MK16i)


Xperia Neo (MT15i)


3. After connecting test point , Windows will automatically install new driver.
4. Installation will succesfull if Windows show this message.


5. Remove USB cable from phone (not PC).

Unlocking Bootloader

1. Now , run the S1Tool and click on the "Patch SEMCBoot".
2. Attach the pin to the test point like before.
3. Press "Testpoint READY" and connect the USB cable to the phone.
4. Remove the test point and press "Testpoint Ready" when the S1Tool said so.
5. Wait the message from S1Tool that said the process is "FINISHED".
6. Turn on your phone and enjoy your unlock bootloader !

Relock Bootlader

1. Turn off your phone.
2. Run S1Tool and click on the "RESTORE" button.
3. Connect USB cable from PC to phone in flashmode/hold the volume down button (Green LED).
4. Unplug your phone and reboot.
5. Done !


DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK ! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU ENCOUNTERED !
