[Q] New Comer with question - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so my X1 died 3 days ago and got this model W8 ... so far so good. Now my question is wheather or not this is an X8 ? I mean same size specs etc... If yes I am going to root it and put a custom rom too. I found the X8 in the list but not the W8 thats why I wanna know if they are the same mobile ( only os is different and model code E15 and E16)

Yes, it's the same phones. The only difference is w8 has a walkman app.

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 ..

Yeah I've seen that guys posted they unlocked on 11w47.

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

How to Unlock Bootloader in Xperia x8 11w48 ?

Is there any way to unlock the Bootloader without bricking it ?
I want to install GingerDX on it and change the kernel and so.
I have now GingerXperia v10, android version 2.3.7, and Kernel Version 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
What I need is to make my android smoother because it's so slow with the GingerXperia, so I thought it would be better if I get GingerDX or anything else but keep the 2.3.7 version.
Any Ideas ?

Even if you can't unlock you're phone.. gingerdx for stock is available..
To unlock above 11W29 you'll have to pay.. and it's quite risky for the ones above 11W35..

But if I keep it with stock kernel will it be faster and smoother than the GingerXperia V10?

I have sony ericsson xperia E15i with date code of 10w37....Is the bootloader is safe to unlock???
Plz reply guyz i need help.....
I think it is safe to unlock your bootloader. The ones which get hardbricked are the models which have 11w29 + manufacturing date

[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.

can you please provide links for GB ROMs.
