Sooo I just found my old SE Xperia X10 Mini (U20i)
And thought it would be kinda sweet to get a custom Linux dist running on it and using it as a wifi mini terminal at home.
And have been searching the web for links thats been dead for over a decade.
Got hyperexited when i found a repo that's alive, which has some reference to the phone.
So my boot loader is locked(not showing up in the service meny under configuration.
And it's "branded"(locked by the phon company)
Tried to run the bootloader unlock, but the program sees it as the Pro version, not sure what i can do.

As I understand it this tool used to be able to unlock the bootloader on my branded phone.
