You unlock your bootloader, and then you flash the custom kernel you want.
No need for relocking.Even if you wanted to flash stock kernel, there's no such need.
Check the Ultimate X8 FAQ sticky. There is an explanation for this.

Hi all, im having one kind of a problem, me and my friend, have tried to unlock his x8 Bootloader, and i have search and saw the hard brick warning, and checked the device says 9w12 so i thought it was safe, and it wasnt, because the device didnt work after using Unlock method.
Now we have Jtaged it using a box and made it work, and everything was fine, untill he tried unlocking using Flash tool, and it said unlocking was ok, but it didnt actually work cuz he couldnt flash nA kernel after. and then his device went off again, so we had to jTag it again with a box to make it work,
Now its back to stock 2.1 and cant find service, it can see the networks but cannot get signal (no service), and i read a lot on that i gotta use SMEC 77727 or something to make it work, but its the same we used to get our device bricked, so any advice plz guys help?
1.Relock bootloader
2. Unlock bootloader with FLASHTOOL not with msm7227 tools.
First time when I unlock bootloader I unlock it with msm7227,but I didn't have signal. After 1-2month I see that bootloader can be unlocked by flashtool. I try unlock bl with flashtool and now I have signal and I really enjoying!

thanks for your response, can u tell me how to relock bootloader, my eyes are bleeing from searching and i dont wanna hard brick the x8 again sir. x(
Use x8toolbox
Also, using 1stools. first time i tired to unlock, it said SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, but now it says NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE.. what would this mean?
before i do anythign stupid now
That message will change back to original message when you relock..
It's the reason you get no carrier lock.
I downloaded x8tools, but its based on Cmd command line, not sure where to find a tutorial, im looking at the moment to find one

Just checked - Doesn't give instructions but it's rather simple anyway - just go for it man!
Flash tool gave me this error when trying to unlock: WARN - Cannot identify your SL. Aborting
also, pc companion cant recognize my mobile when i try to repair its software, whats up with that??
Did you relock the bootloader first using x8toolbox?
No, because i cant open it, everytime i click on x8tools.cmd it open and close, no idea why,,,, do u have IM (hotmail or so) im in trouble really might need the help

OK got ya.. We could do this over IM but it's good for future users with the same issue to see this thread and find a solution.
So let's go..
1: Don't double-click x8tools.cmd
2: Open MS Command Prompt and cd\ to the directory where you saved it. (Desktop is really handy)
3: Type x8tools.cmd into command prompt
4: Let the magic begin!
alright, here what i got:
starting x8toolbox.final . . .
'busybox' is not recognized as a
operable program or batch file.
did as u said, so whats next bro?

Have you adb installed/configured?
Ok managed to make it work,, let me see now..
I can only see unlock bootloader option, no relock, is relocking under unlocking section?

note : i read many thinks about this but i am still don't know
Hello,
First of all you need to root your X8, download Flashtool, install it, run it, install drivers from folder and go to Applications>Unknown Sources(check)>Development>USB Debugging after that open Flashtool and make sure your phone is recognized by the program.
For custom kernel you need unlocked bootloader, for this better search in forums. It will be a pretty long story to explain you here. There are some guides.
There you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043491

Check your manufacture date under battery, if it's below 11w29 then you can unlock bootloader but if it is not DON'T EVEN TRY !
(I hardbricked my xperia once)
oh **** my data : 10W45 ... F*** i can't unlock bootloader

Hey!
My SP has a locked bootloader and I can't unlock it because it isn't allowed.
But I want to install FXP CM11. As I can't acces fastboot mode can I flash the boot.img file through CWM if a make a flashable zip file from it(android.stackexchange.com/questions/36265/flash-boot-img-without-using-fastboot-usb)? If yes, how to make it? I don't really get that description. Thanks in advance.:fingers-crossed:

AFAIK changing kernel in locked bootloader could result in brick, not bootloop. CMIIW, but you should be careful with carrier locked bootloader
You can't install custom kernel on a locked bootloader you will get error not installed..... Even if installed it won't boot up, you will end up with a very stylish paper weight.
DON'T EVEN TRY TO MAKE IT WORK.
just accept it can't be done and install a custom stock rom instead

You can flash the boot.img
But then your phone will be a brick
So I wouldn't recommend it

Do you think these people are lying or something?
The whole point of a locked bootloader is that you cant modify kernel - the reason you can only used stock based ROMs.
If you can successfully flash a boot.img then yours is not locked.
Someone please correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks for your reply
I tried to flash many roms with flashtool but nothing change.
You lost network coverage but does it still offer to unlock the sim? And does that succeed?
And just to be sure, you did flash the correct stock ROM your model (C5302/C5303/C5306)?
If your bootloader magically relocked itself then sony pc companion should work (I know it sucks), have you tried repairing your firmware using that?

But if your bootloader is unlocked then the bootloader status should say "Bootloader Unlocked: Yes" or something along those lines.

That is so unusual that you might want to check with fastboot if the bootloader really is locked. You can do that with the following fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot getvar secure
This will return "secure: yes" if the bootloader is really locked.
Anyway, have you tried a generic ROM for your device from this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
If you have a north american device (C5306) you might need a provider specific ROM.
