U can install custom kernel like alfs,nAa, or linuxDX thats the benefits, but, the bootloader unlocking process is risky, ur phone will be hard bricked, and also, check ur phone's manfature date, looks like if the nanfature date is below 11w29, then,iys safe to unlock BL
And the second question,
The answer is, no, unlocking BL wont get u a real multitouch ..
It depends on ur digitizer
Synaptics can hv pinch 2 zoom(not mt just p2z)
As for Cypress, u can hv real multitouch ...

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

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.

[Q] bootloader

Hello, I am a follower of your forum, and I want to thank and congratulate all the help they provide, but for you even would use eclair: D I have the following question, my phone is 11w35, and would unlock the bootloader, but I'm afraid meet with a hard brick, I have read all the guidelines on the matter, and I would like to know your opinion on the matter, which method would you recommend to do it? that I have a chance to survive if I risk my phone? I did the check with s1tool and gives me the message SEMC simlock certificate, so I can do that ... according but still I have my doubts ..
another question ... if I do the process and failure ... is there any way we can know that my smartphone died for trying to unlock the bootloader? I'm from chile: D and good that, thanks for the help
PS: sorry for my writing, I am using the google translator, and also apologize if this goes here, not sure where you post it
Greetings and thanks again for your help
the risk is of hardbrick is there since your on 11w29 above.so stay on stock kernel.goodluck
sent from my x8™ using gingerDX®
You can try it, but the risk of having a hardbrick is big because you have a phone that is w29+ and w29+ phones have patched the bootloader exploit.

well ... if you try unlocking the bootloader .... 2 things can happen ...
1. success - a but better phone
2. fail - no phone
Don't try you will have hard brick...my opinion...
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
If u are going to do it, find a guy who own jtag box. It would be better if he will be a friend of ur. Cause then u can unbrick it for free if it hardbricked.

don't try it mate. for x8/w8, if the date is greater than 11w28, the risk of a hard brick is huge. better stay on stock kernel. also, you may want to read the stickies to make it clear why that's so.

some people with 11w29 up have successfully unlocked their bl. they got lucky as most who tried bricked their phones. there is also a paid method but i'm not familiar with it.
roms that do not need unlocked bootloader? gingerdx, froyopro, froyobread, amd some more in the dev section of x8. there are a number of roms for stock. so just have a look around. :thumbup:
