well x8 is also xperia and i buy it this year (E15i stock)
You can use latest flashtool 0.51 for unlocking X8 bootloader.Just click unlock button in plugin menu. I have unlocked my w8 by manually selecting device as E15 (x8).You have to be on stock ROM for this to work.
Although I can flash custom kernels ,all stuck after displaying Logo.Inbuilt recovery is working.At last i have to re flash stock kernel . I think some modification required for X8 custom kernel for use in w8. Any one succeded in custom kernel in w8?

ok so i need to perform restore from stock rom backup folder and tried to unlock. ok.
another think... when i update flash tool to 0.5.1... options in unlock menu is gone and yes i have to manualy select device with or withou update of flash tool. i will post results later when got home.
and another thing are there issues if i run flashtool on 64bit W7 or32bit W7? until now i got 2 different log uotputs.... anyway i think on 32 bit W7 flashtool make some more than on 64 bit W7

I unlock bootloader on GDX v19 without any problem to match with linux kernel..
then a few days I notice my phone no network anymore..
then I go back to stock kernel with flashin tool (instead SEUS), I got a same thing..( but when in stock rom I got "please insert sim card")..
I tried with SEUS ="your phone updated"...
finally I sent to the company who provide the warranty..
and yesterday I just found a thread how to solve "no network problem" in Q&A..
huhu..
OK so quick review
if i want to unlock boolloader:
-flash tool 0.5.0.... and drivers
-stock rom installed
-later install again custom rom
or did i miss something?
p.s. where to find stock rom? accidently i deleted my first backup from PC.
so stock rom is like custom roms in ZIP files and using xrecovery to put them back on ot some TFT file i read about.
thanks
dangerous
people have unlocked their bootloaders for x8 before but now it is very dangerous. if it goes wrong it can= full brick which = you need to send it off to sony ericsson to have it fixed. full brick is impossible to crack. if you have a different brick then you could possibly unbrick it. only unlock your bootloader if you alright if you phone screws up. but a good side on unlocking the bootloader is that we can flash custom kernels install new drivers ( i think we can do that when our phones rooted anyway. my phone is rooted and running gingerdx and i have installed cypress multitouch)
etc... if you plan on doing that then good luck and may the force be with you

Probably you will as it will try to install the wrong ROM and if it does u will brick ur phone. Ok so first you connect your phone without connecting your memory card. Go to PCC and click repair, and just skip the dialog boxes and then it will ask you for ur phone model, selct w8 and then follow the instructions...
"There is no software available for your phone yet. Please try again later"

Done! With the help of this thread!!
Just one problem. I have x8's stock installed. How can I get w8's stock?? There is just a little difference.. But still!

You found the post I wrote about how to recover soft-bricks through Flashtool but you didn't find the W8 Stock ROM post on XDA?
Well, here it is ...
[ROM] Xperia™ W8 Stock ROM [17/05/2011]
Courtesy of Haka
Direct Link to the W8 Original Stock ROM Download (2.1.1.A.0.46)
The RAR seems to be a xRecovery backup. So simply extract the file and copy it onto your SD card under /sdcard/xrecovery/backup/W8.Bld46.17.05.2011
If you want it as a Flashtool FTF for future recovery purposes I'm afraid you have to create it yourself. Simply restore the backup through xRecovery and once that's done don't boot the device but connect it in Flash Mode to Flashtool and create a backup of the ROM. Feel free create a ZIP and put it up on Multiupload, or whatever File Hosting site, to share it with other W8 users (you know, a FTF would enable easy "soft brick" recovery through Flashtool in case none of the recoveries work anymore).

no solution for unlocking BL with 11w29+?
hope can some one can do it with no hardbrick? im 11w48 im so sad because of my lock BL?
For the last time, please don't open such threads. You can unlock it but there's a high possibility that you'll brick it. You can get it done by the paid method, but I'm not sure how that's carried out. You can ask some other members (via PM, not by creating threads) who unlocked their bootloader via the paid method. That being said, if you try it and brick and come to us crying, we are not going to compensate for your loss. That basically means XDA is not to be held liable for any damage. You are on your own, but we will try to help.
Summary: It can be done, but the risk is too damn high!
at the moment there is not a free one.
Also why did you open a new thread? if there was one you would find it easilly
We're so losing hopes and have to watch every SDE, JB roms, and some awesome ixperia roms just screenshots.. Also we want to swap.. But we never can... So sad for the stock kernel.. ;(
I have 11w43 locked bootloader, too.. Don't sad..
I have unlocked my (11W43) with flashtool and all the flash Drivers installed and then at first i root the phone, after that i have installed xRec then i downloaded a rom and have it put on my SD and then i have make me sure that i have the Original Firmware latest firmware installed or you will brick your phone so or so . Now you download a Kernel for your "Rom" then you flash the Kernel via Flashtool and you go into the Recovery after the first start and install the Rom. I make a Video Tutorial for that if i have time .

i dont know how making these posts is going to solve problems for people who are let behind with locked bootloader. Instead of wasting your time try to find some 'work around' for it. Maybe you can come up with a solution. It is better than saying that we are losing hopes.

hello.. my xperia x8 was originally subscriber locked and was unlocked by a technician (i ddnt know how and what he did) while being retained on stock and unrooted.
now the question is, will the unlock remain once i flash a custom rom such as ginger dx?
if not, how can i disable the subscriber lock?
thanks in advance for your replies..
Not at all....your bootloder remains unlocked always if it is done properly.

thank you for replying.. i hav more questns tho..
youre saying that the subscriber lock is with the bootloader?
would you consider using x8 toolbox in rooting the phone as proper?

Yes....you probably have unlocked bootloader.....would you minfd to look under the battery for a date number?
turn off phone
take out battery
look at the BACK SIDE of PHONE(not battery)
find something like 11W30 or 10W30 or 12W30...
Write down the number
Why would you want to use toolbox??
PRESS THANKS if someone helped,don't just say thanks
its 11w35. good thing the techncian ddnt brick it.
i want to install a custom rom and root this thats why i might need the toolbox, am i right?

-you can install flash-tools app (latest may not support x8) & download a custom kernel then flash kernel ... (read guides)
Then flash roms from recovery

can you ask your technician what method did he used to unlock it?
Don't install toolbox,download Flashtool
With Flashtool you can:
Root
Flash
Install apps
Clean
Install kernel
Install recovery
And for installing custom rom :
Root via flashtool
install recovery via flashtool
Put custom ROM .ZIP file on sd card
Flash custom kernel
go in recovery via phone(by pressing BACK button)
flash rom
tadaaa...you're done
what i remember is that the techncian used "credits" in unlocking but i'll ask him..
ok. flashtool it is.. im just concerned on losing the subscriber unlock and bricking the phone when installing custom kernels and roms..

hello custom world!
Hi All,
Hoping for some advise and hopefully a fix. Been scouring these forums for 4 hours and cannot find a problem the same as mine or one that seems like it would fix.
I've always stuck to nexus phones in the past so the xperia z is new to me. picked it up this weekend but i've already had enough of sony's custom skin so thought i'd get a custom rom.
I updated to the latest software version using the pc suite and then used the xperia z root tool (v16).
After this i downloaded root checker and verified i was rooted
i then downloaded cwm recovery and installed
i then downloaded the 4.3 google edition rom for the xperia z, put it on the sd card and went into recovery, selected it from sd card. said it all installed ok so selected reboot...
after this it didnt come back on and just vibrates once when you press the power button. tried the hard reset thing where it vibrates 3 times but after this it does nothing.
it isnt recognised when plugged in to pc and the only sign of life that i can see is the light flashing red when plugged in as if charging.
Any ideas? never had something not switch on at all before.
Is your bootloader even unlocked?
4.3 roms and all other roms with non stock kernels cannot be flashed on a locked device.

Easy. Just repair with SUS
or
Download flashtool, and download the corresponding firmware you need (should be .ftf format) (i.e. if your a UK generic user download UK generic ROM) and flash the firmware.
fixed
Thanks guys. Flashtool got me back up and running.
Now, just because I'm obviously a complete tool does anyone know off the top of their head if it is actually possible to put the Google edition 4.3 on here after all of that or should I quit while I'm ahead???

If all that seems too complicated then i advice you don't attempt it right away, read around the XDA forum and familiarise yourself before attempting to brick your phone :silly:
Dude does your bootloader unlocked? If not maybe it cause u a soft brick. Try to flash the original ftf for xperia z use the latest flash tool then reflash it. Hope it helps you. Btw welcome to the SONY world ;p
Hello developers and xda members!
Some months/weeks ago I asked about rooting and warranty.I got some answers that if I unroot it or use SEUS I will not loose warranty.
This time is about roms and locked bootloaders.
If I install a CWM Recovery then flash a ROM do I void warranty?If yes is there anyway that I can make it so it's like I never flashed anything so the warranty will still last?
If yes what is the best rom I can install for LOCKED bootloader(I don't want to unlock it)?
I want a rom with good battery life + camera (I don't care if it's not 100% perfect but at least better than the stock one!)
Any answer would be helpful!
Thanks

Even if you unlock your bootlader you wont loose your warranty (if that is the reason you are not doing it).Just make a backup of your DRM keys and the unlock code and keep it safe.

I don't generally want to unlock bootloader.
Even if I don't unlock it and just install a rom(e.x Existenz) would I need to backup DRM keys?
Also can you give me a SAFE tutorial about backing them up?
I also asked about a good rom that has a good battery life and camera than the stock one.
What's your opinion about roms?What is the best based on your opinion?

If you wont be unlocking the bootlooder, you dont need the backup.Here is the thread with anything needed to get started with your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701644
I've never used the stock or other based on it (I use 4.3+ ROMs ), but other forum members say that Existenz is the best one out there.Currently, I am using the leaked 4.3,but it is for unlocked bootloaders.

Anyway so I will not void my warranty if i flash a custom rom and then "format" it with SEUS?

Oops..wrong link!Here s the right one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354704
P.S. Im not sure but I think you will still have your warranty.Back in the days, when i had my xperia x8 and it got hardbricked, I lied to my operator that it got fully discharged and it never turned on again.The trick worked and it went to Sony with a custom ROM inside of it .Anyways..today i had to revert to stock, because the tutorial for the leaked 4.3 said so, but i encountered a problem - SUS said that my phone has modified software and it didn't complete the operation.I had to flash an .ftf image file with flashtool.But after all, It was successfull.
Ehm I got a question.At the install instructions of Existenz it says
Flash the rom.
Flash NUT reboot fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317432
Flash 12.0.A.2.254 kernel only with flashtool (see FAQ).
As I see NUT reboot fix is for Xperia Z...Do I need to install this?Do I also need to install .254 kernel only again?At the FAQ it says about How to flash 6.2.B.1.96 Kernel with flashtool <- but this kernel is for Z...What happens?
Should I flash the rom then reboot my phone and OK?
Should I flash the rom then reboot my phone and existenz rom opens and then flash the NUT reboot fix?
Should I flash the rom then instantly install the NUT reboot fix?
Should I also install the kernel (12.0.A.254)?
I am kinda confused :/

1. Flash ROM
1.b Reboot phone
2. Use .bat from NUT (I used it after OTArootkeeper failed and I couldn't mount /system r/w)
3. Flash the kernel with Flashtool
Step 1b and 2 depend on what you prefer, flashing the fix or rebooting and let the computer do the fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317432
You can use NUT for the SP. About the kernel I'm not sure. I am on LB atm.
Hope this helps (except for the kernel of course)

Always glad to help but remember, in case of unlocked BL, SUS will not work.
Aye, you got a thank button for that, mate
