10w48, so who's got the older one now ha ha. Im using my other x8 at the moment but I think its 10w34, im not pulling the battery now to check. Got 3 x8's all with unlocked bootloader. Its a simple process on a sim locked device and I recommend it to anyone who can. Great performance increase.

He can try if he wants, BUT ( quote taken from b.jay's post of bootloader problem)
If the date code on the sticker reads 11W29, or any later date (11W30, 11W31, 11W32, 11W33, ...), DO NOT attempt to unlock the boot loader.

no, i didnt read properly earlier, i thought you said 11w29 but you actually said 11w02
Anyway, no, the risk is low, there will be 99.9 /100 % you can do it, the only thing that can screw it up now, is if something interrupts the process like anti-virus etc
I left my Antivirus on and it was fine

uhhh, ummm, if you were unlocked to any network (if that is what you mean) then you will return to being locked to original network
@Irishstuff09 some anti-virus can interupt (lol, i didnt turn mine off but worked for me too )
but sometimes, the programm can fool the antivirus (which is good in this case, but bad cuz it shows how s*it the anti-virus is and how it can bypass etc)

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,

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

11w29+ is RISKY. Just because a couple of people have unlocked theirs does not minimize the risk. you were very lucky.
