If you unlock bootlader you will be able to install custom kernel. And you ll get OC, UV, swap support, tethering and much more built in kernel. Also custom kernel will improve overval speed of device.
You cant fix it with sonys update, you have to relock bootloader using S1 Tool.

You can root and install custom ROM
You should NOT unlock your bootloader , which means you can not install a custom kernel...

[Q] Using SEUS with an unlocked bootloader

I want to go back to stock rom using SEUS but I'm afraid having an unlocked bootloader will brick my phone. Can I just use it or do I have to re-lock?

no you will not have a brick, if you want to relock it, relock it, if you want to leave it as it is, leave it as it is, but theres no chance you will have brick using seus
if you want my advice leave it as it is, soon you may want kernels again

Thanks! I'll probably be getting a new one soon and I want to give the x8 to my brother clean.

I'm aiming for a S3.

Stock ROM is very slow.. outdated one.. you install htx miui or gdx for yr bro.. he will like it

Ok, so I need Custome Kernel on my 11w44 manufacture date. I read that if I will try to flash, it may hard brick my xperia x8. But also i found that there is a way to flash it. I am little confused. So could you please explain me all of these things?

dont do it mate, you have 11w44 and upon flashing a custom kernel you need to have an unlocked bootloader which is very risky to do and it is not advisable to do so, stick with stock kernel and stock ROMs

Unlock your bootloader with setool. Do not ask how, setool requires special hardware, so this is a paid method. If you try to unlock your bootloader with the free method, the result will be a hard brick what also need setool to resurrect the phone, so do not try it.
Search for a service or a person who have setool in your city/country.

Ah... I guess I will stick with stock kernel. Thanks anyway . (Pressed thanks for all of you )

mine is 11w48 and i also searched and googled a lot but no satisfying result. it is very risky to do so. i am satisfied with my stock kernel. try to do the same as me . trying to unlock your bootloader may result in not having any x8 anymore of course as I know there are ways to un-brick it later but...

...it is expensive

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but my dad wants this phone, and it will more than likely be newer than 11w29( I think that was the last unlockable one) and I was wondering, what's a good rom that can be used on stock, that doesn't need to be for gaming, multitasking or whatever WE would do, but what a 47 year old man does, like making calls, text..really basic stuff, but I don't want to keep on Eclair, and as I read, ICS and JB can ONLy be flashed on unlocked bootloaders, right? Is there any hope to have this phone unlocked further than 11w29?

hopefully you get a phone with 11w28 and down date, but the chances are really small. since your dad is going to use it, i believe stability is the most important? if you don't want to stay on eclair (which is good if you're okay with no app2sd feature), i'd recommend a froyo rom. which one really is up to you. just check the ones on the dev threads.

Yeah, stability is the most important, it's not like he'll want to play games haha. Would a GB rom be okay? I saw there's a Gingerdx rom that seems stable enough. Thanks!

yes. if you're going to go gb, gdx is a great choice.

If you have a unlocked bootloader, do not worry brick your phone. When I had bootloop enough flash stock ftf via flashtool. But remember, you do so at your own risk.
Sorry for my bad english.
