For experienced relocked users: THANK YOU


Why did i divide into three categories: Beginner, Intermediate, Experienced? Actually, i'm not doing this for fun like in Game Level. It's in order to keep your phone works safe and functioning normally in your daily life. If the person took his/her steps too early, doesn't know what he/she is doing or doesn't know what's going to happen next, mistakes could be easily made and he/she might face consequences of bricking the phone.

In order to tweak/play safe with your phone, the guide PDFs will inform you about necessary knowledge needed to be learnt in certain level step by step. I don't mind you learn quickly, but if you done anything wrong to phone, Sorry alright because i'm not gonna be responsible to your actions to your device. so In your own Risk :D

If you have doubts, feel free PM me or other ROM developers.

For Newbies, About the files, pls be patient alright :D If Can, please recommend other X10 newcomers/juniors who came here recently, for preventing them from bricking their phones]

Specially Thanks to:
DooMLoRD for providing awesome, trusted fixed flashtool
Azuzu for Rooting/Flashing Link And Flashtool
Zdzihu for his Xrecovery
Championswimmer for allowing me continue writing Relocking Guide using AOKP .if not, i couldn't continue post result here
X10Forever for allowing me continue writing Relocking Guide using MoKee OS .if not, i couldn't continue post result here
alzbac for allowing me to used DonutHD Locked Bootloaded ROM as reference to install Custom ROMs

If you search for 'x10 stock kernel' you should find a stock kernel with xrecovery. I found it a month ago, just don't remember where. :(

Relocking Bootloader oopsee

Mr, Whitefang, I made a little.. mistake, if you could call it that.. I had a buggy rom and wanted to reflash it, and without properly checking what rom i selected, I accidently selected the "X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf" in the menu, connected my phone, then realized I had just relocked the Bootloader..

The phone still starts up normally with custom Kernel and all, but I cant re-unlock it..

What on earth do I do?

EDIT:
Soo, I flashed it with the Kernel + baseband ftf file. and it started up normally.. I believe I might be able to unlock the BL again.. Im lucky I survived it...

Great guide.. Helped me unlock the BL in the first place...

Great guides, something I was looking for for a while now.

First problem (I'm a newbie), I was at Beginner 2 of 3 and at step 7, but the boot logo is stuck. But I did exactly what you told me to do. And I had the exact specs you defined. What should I do? I can't find a stock rom ftf because they're all down :(

Edit: Fixed it :D
