Hi, i've tried two ways to unlock bootloader, by Flashtool and Xrecovery.
With flashtool I didn't get the message "Successfully applied unlock" but the phone rebooted anyway.

I triede pressing several times, the back button when the sonnyericson letters appear, tried always pressing and nothing.

Can anyone help me.
I can supply the flashtool log if necessary.

Thx

The exact problem is I can't acess the bootlooder, when the phone is restarting.
I tried by both metod's: flashtool and xrecovery.

you mean you cannot access the x-recovery right..?? try the tool in my signature n install the CWM recovery from it.. After installing CWM recovery with the tool reboot your phone.. press the back button when sony ericsson logo comes and your done.. you can now flash Custom ROM's with CWM recovery..

Also, double check which baseband you have. It should end in x015 (x being the rest of the number). If not then you'll need to flash to the correct version. My minipro wouldnt enter xrecovery/cwm until it had been flashed to it, like you the backbutton did nothing and I couldnt find a solution for a few days.

My phone came shipped with android 1.6 and previous baseband. If you look around the forum for basebands you should be able to find it. Flash with flashtool.

Having the problem it iscoolbutton.ocx, tried the fix and still the sameproblem. My baseband ends in 15. When I run the Flashtool it gives this message:
"05/042/2012 20:42:03 - INFO - Start Flashing
05/042/2012 20:42:03 - INFO - Flashing loader

And then phone restarts. Any ideas?

Try installing the JDK and the android SDK. I unlocked my bl using the original way and those were required. Things normally work best on our phones with them

SOLUTION FOR THOSE WHO COULDN'T(like myself)

quick question if I may, I tried every single way to bootloader unlock my x10 mini and when I try I get a message in cmd about a daemon that doesn't start, then it says that it started succesfully and it does nothing else after that, those were my last intends to bootloader unlock, before I got messages about daemon as well,but multiple times and in the end said that it couldn't start daemon, I can't bootloader unlock my x10 mini please help!!!


I found the solution for my problem, I hope it helps somebody else.

steps:

1. download Flashtool-0.5.0.0beta (ask me if you want a link)
2. download s1tools (version doesn't matter)
3. install flashtool, and restart your computer (don't install gordon's gate yet0
4. plug in your turned on x10 mini(it needs to be in usb debug mode as well)
5. wait for flashtool to recognize it
6. on the menu click on plugins,unlock boot loader(or something similar),run
7.you will get some response like this:

Root Access Allowed
INFO - Searching Xperia....
ERROR - Please plug you device in flash mode

you will get it multiple times, even a popup window indicating how to put your phone in flash mode.
8. unplug your phone and turn it off
9. now go to the directory where you installed falsh tool,drivers folder, and install gg(gg setupxxxx.exe)
10. now connect your device in flash mode(turned off, connect to pc while you hold the back button)
11. your phone will restart a couple times, just wait.
12. in my case the process ended when it rebooted in recovery mode(i had cwm recovery put in already),I manually rebooted, and voila !!!

BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED !!!!

13. run s1 tool and double check, you know, the cap letter and stuff, it shouldn't be cap anymore
