Unlock Secret Menu on Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 - XPERIA X8 General

Access hidden testing menu on your Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 (E15). This secret service menu allows you to check if your Xperia phone is network locked. Moreover you can check if your phone is permanently blocked or you still can type your unique unlock code!
Just type secret sequence:
□ ← ← □ ← □ □ ←
on lock screen of your phone.
Just found out this on youtube!
Edit: Someone in the posts posted that this works on any custom ROM:
Just type this in the dialer: *#*#4636#*#*

I can't acess to this..

Only stock ROM.

Going back to stock room, just to see the secret menu..... No, I don't think so.

It's servicemenu.apk on stock ROM. However, it probably depends on some other files too because it can't be installed/run on custom ROMs.

contacts and texts restored.
thankyou...
What the heck? It says it supports only SE phones???!!!
Wow, my SE phone is not SE anymore? I have installed Custom ROM 2.3.3 HACKDROID
for contact simple export - import will work. from contacts menu export your contacts. it will create a .vcf file in sd card. take a backup in your pc. install new rom & then import those contacts in the new rom. its the best & simple process
Tested.
Does NOT work on racht's Floyo 0.15.
Can somebody please post a working link? Thanks in advance.

Are you using a custom rom? This will only work on x8 stock rom
Sent from Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 using XDA Premium app
yes ,
oh sorry , so tomorrow i will find out in stock rom
There´s a video on youtube where a guy does it, but he does it with X8 1.6, so I think you have to downgrade to 1.6 if you wanna do it.
It works with 2.1 stock S.E. ROM.
In the Service Menu you many usefull tools

Bootloader unlocking

Hey, loads of you have unlocked bootloaders and I'm wondering if i should unlock mine. I'm a heavy xperia arc user but I am not a developer or anything. Does doomlords kernal make your phone FAST? Do you recommend me unlocking?
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
I'd say do it.
Can root every ROM and DooMKernel is great (overclock and other mods)
And most ROMs need a custom kernel --> unlocked bootloader needed

Thanks, well i was thinking of sending my phone in for a housing replacement in a couple of weeks, if my bootloader is unlocked, SE might trick me into saying the bootloader caused my phone to overheat meaning the crack in the housing came, lol.

Imo, it's quite easy.
And the only other way to unlock the BL is the testpoint method.
