It means...check first ur phone date of manufacturing. If its in the safe range,u have 90% chance of the unlock a success(9% depends on ur PC,1% luck). If ur phone is not in the safe range, well u just need to think very hard if u really want to unlock th bootloader...its up to u,but not recommended although there are people that succesfully unlock their bootloader when their phone is in the risk zone. Its all up to u
Check first does ur PC have any problem detecting ur phone in flashmode or not. This can be done by flashing ur phone back to stock 2.1 rom using flashtool. If there is no problem, ur good to go. If there is,just find the solutions to it

why is the same questions keep coming up..? and its in the same thread..
gonna write this big so people dont ask this again.
11w28
11 stand for year
w stand for week
28 stands for number of week​
if ur week of production is high eg.34, thats mean ur phone is new
if its low eg.09, then its old
*the date is just an example,it may vary from ur device to another, so i hope that the question of "my phone dont show 11w28 but XXwXX" dont show up

So my phone is danger ... soo .. anyway i could unlock bootloader.. ? Anyone would like to trade old w8 with my new w8 .
Thank me only if i did helped

Any ways to check my current phone has its bootloader unlocked or not ?
Thank me only if i did helped

Mate, Its to dengerous to Unlocking the bootloader on outdate 11W29+,
Once Hardbrick, you cannot revive ur phone by ur Self, u need to send it in for Repair, and most likely they will change ur motherboard.
But, Maybe Have Someone succesed unlock bootloader on outdate X8?
If yes, yeah ! I want it to, for my 2nd X8

hey dude, well my w8 was on W1129+ but i took the risk and ended up hard-bricking my phone ands as a result had to take it back for repairs... they changed the motherboard (as you said) but didnt change the stickers...
is there anyway i can identify the "week" of my current motherboard?
But with the w8 its waaaay much more risk for a hard brick But the x8 is a little bit more safe ..

Hey Dude,
I think service center replaced the mobo with a pre 11W29 one,
Most likely that the replacement is even newer [11W5x -> 12W0x] than your original motherboard was. There is no way to find out "week" of you mobo except
of the sticker, or maybe you can ask them what the "week" mobo they replaced for you,
Peace,
I unlocked My bootloader and mine is 11w35

The ONLY reliable, and existing, way to tell if the phone is "security fixed" is through "GPG cable connection" ... as detailed by the_laser on setool.net
Also, the ONLY way to unlock the boot loader of 11W29+ devices (without hard bricking) is also by using a combined hardware/software approach. There's NO WAY to unlock the boot loader through software only.

Ok, the road is open for someone which buy the software and hardware and unlock, at good price, phone for all 11w29 in the world... Better if one for country. Could be a way to be busy and rich
This is just a joke, obviously.

please help me how to fix this..
regrats,
(sorry for my bad english)
Why did you even try? You read the warnings. Try to plug the charger and wait a few minutes and cross your fingers.
If that doesn't work, i hope your warranty is still in effect because you need to send it to sony.
No warranty anymore? Hopefully you're good with electronics. Find a guide here on xda and try to unbrick it with ressurection cables.
That's it. I hope you have warranty though.

11w29+ is RISKY. Just because a couple of people have unlocked theirs does not minimize the risk. you were very lucky.
on topic: google is your friend here. afaik, setool2 is an option if you want to go by the paid route.

[Q] Unlock Bootloader W8 E16i__11w44

can any one help me to unlock my W8 E16i bootloader.
On battery, it has 11w44.
In many i found that it is 50-50 % chances.
Help me for Safe unlocking.....
Thank you......
If you wanna unlock it real bad, go for the paid method. I dunno how it goes actually. But you can ask some members who have used it and have had success.
But if you're going for the free route, don't even risk it. If you fail, it's a hard brick.
Summary-
Safest for you is paid method. But I'd suggest not to unlock it at all. There are tons of good stock kernel GB ROMs out here.
