We all thought it would never happen, but the fully locked down X10 got cracked!Once again thanks to the great devs.

The_laser posted at xda that “maxrfon” found a bug in Qualcomm’s mcu bootrom RSA signature verification.That means the devs have the full control over semcboot which allows them to hack the bootloader instead of bypassing it.zdzihu and other devs are currently working on a save method to flash the modified bootloader, let’s hope they find a save way soon.

Also he posted the 1024-bit key at xda: click here to read it

If you want to follow the work of the devs you can watch the thread over here

This will allow the devs to make fully working custom ROMs and simlock can be removed for free, no need for buying unlock codes anymore.

zdzihu posted a comment from Sony Ericsson that says they won’t update the bootloaders of the X10 with the 2.3.3 update – which is good for the X10 users. The reason is that by updating the bootloader the X10 can be bricked.

What will Sony Ericsson say about it? They should be very suprised when they read the news.

We’ll keep you updated.

The Xperia Play aka the PlayStation Phone has undoubtedly been the most leaked handset of the last year, indeed perhaps of any year. I was recently discussing the situation and an interesting question arose: do these leaks make you more or less interested in the handset?

Whilst we all love to see leaks and know what is coming up, does the sheer scope of the Xperia Play leak mean that when it is released there will actually be less interest in the handset? Looked at from a certain angle one could say that given all that has already leaked about it there isn’t much Sony Ericsson can do to make the announcement exciting. How long can interest be maintained in a handset that we already know so much about?

On the other hand there are those who say that these leaks have really whetted their appetite for the handset. There is also the point to consider that the frequent leaks have given the handset tremendous exposure in the press, perhaps far more than it might otherwise have received. Indeed given the build up it seems pretty certain that most eyes at MWC will be firmly trained on the Sony Ericsson booth to see the handset in the flesh.
