Hi guys! I´m the owner of X8 15i device, i´m testing new roms, but i´m a little bit confuse about unlock bootloader. i read that if my celphone is unlocked by SIM the procedure to unlock the bootloader could lock my phone back. I bought it unlocked, how can i determine how was unlocked? I want to test Froyobread an Mini CM7 but both recommend install a new kernel. I really appreciate your help!
Do u mean when u buy the phone,it is sim free..(no contract)?
Im using a sim free phone n dont have any problem after unlock bootloader. But try reading more to get better confirmation...

For froyobread....just use stock kernel. For mini cm,it is recommended to use nAa kernel

my xperia x8 is 11w46 so i can't unlock the bootloader... can i still get a rom with gingerbread ?
Of course you can. Just root your device, install CWM Recovery and flash a ROM that does not require a custom kernel such as GingerDX.

I have Xperia x8 and I want to install ICS 4.0.4 but I need to have Unlocked Bootloader for do that.I looked on net to find how to do that but it's only for 11w29 or lower but my is 11w47 so i don't want to hard brick my phone.So can I install ICS on my x8?
Sadly, you cannot. However, there is an ICS ROM which is made for stock kernel, though it is very buggy and not maintained anymore.

It is recommended to you for not unlocking the bootloader instead of saying No.
It's all upon you to take the risk or not. There are so many buddies who successfully unlock their bootloder and other failed also.
I recommended to you go for stock roms(ginger) e.g.
Gingerdx v28
Kuyadroid 4.5.4
Which not required unlocked bootloder
Yup!!!!

Looks like you've unlocked the bootloader to install nAa kernel. Did you make sure that your phone manufacturing date is before 11W29?

It was working till I decided I will get it unlocked by one of the guys from high street. Since then I have had problem and SIM card doesn't connect to operator O2.
I have reinstalled original rom but still sim can't connect to network. I then reinstalled ginger dx v25 rom. Still no network. Wonder whether the guy trying to unlock switched off the network radio in it.
Would be grateful if someone can help.
Thanks

Only if you have below 11w28 with free guide else you can choose paid method as i do.

it is not necessary to unlock the bootloader to pass another rom, make you root your phone and put a rom on your liking, I suggest gdx v030
If you have at the back sticker of your phone a number that tells 11w29- then you can unlock your bootloader.
Even if you cant unlock your bootloader you can install a custom rom but you can use those roms that are for stock kernel.
