Ok
1st: b.jay isnt mad or angry or anything, he is simply helping people who fail to read the most important words and just look at the thanks they get, 11w42 are you f%&@ing crazy!?!?! Lol
You do realise that there are about 6 threads about exactly NOT doing this!
Anyway , tell em that you were playing a game when it suddenly crashed your phone and it dont respond or turn on at all, even.after charging

Not being a douche or anything but it does clearly say everywhere that you WILL get a HARD BRICK if you try to unlock your bootloader if your manufacturing date is 11w30 or over.
Sorry about your phone btw.
Good luck,

Why would I be mad at you?
I CLEARLY told you by PM: "DO NOT TRY"
Additionally there's also the hard brick warning sticky over in the X8 General section.
If you decide to disregard each and every warning that has been given to you - your dismay, not mine.
As posted for quite some times now: There's no way by which ANYONE of us can help you now. The phone is dead and beyond any repair possibilities you can try at home. It seems you already found out that the last option is to send the phone off to SE for repair.
I just wouldn't recommend telling them outright what you did - otherwise the response could turn out to be: "Oh, so you tried to unlock the boot loader? Why thank you for telling us, because hacking your phone voids your warranty. Thank you very much for choosing Sony Ericsson and we hope you continue to enjoy our products."
Best shot would be to tell them it suddenly didn't work anymore.
Oh, and once you get the repaired phone back...
DO NOT TRY TO UNLOCK THAT DAMN BOOT LOADER AGAIN!
The warning clearly doesn't exists to run a prank on y'all ... the warning is clearly there to prevent such situations (and at least with the X8 the critical manufacturing date code IS 11W29 - no matter what other "OMFG mah unlocked mah 11W40 no probs kthxbye" post).

Holy sh! 7! Not again....

Just put it in trash...i don't think they will replace it with a new one or repair moneyfree so you will need to pay. I think you should buy a new one from ebay or another site they have them in pretty low price...i hope your battery code this time will be under -29

He's not angry, he is kind hearted but he isnt angry,
In fact b.jay and irushstuff09 are right, there are millions of threads saying not to unlock your bootloader.
SO WHY THE %!£$ HAVE NONE OF YOU LISTENED TO IT!!!
Try checking this
OR this
or might i just put some quote around this:
This post is intended to point your attention to the simple fact that there's a hardware imposed danger to hard brick your Xperia X8 and W8, applies to E15i/a and E16i/a, at the attempt to unlock the boot loader!
The phones affected by the problem are units being manufactured at, and after, 11W29!
To check if your device is affected by the problem follow this simple steps:
Turn off the phone and open it up
Take out the battery
Look at the sticker below
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.

(Thanks b.jay for your thread)
I do have the answer to this:
The new (2011/2012) SE phones (or just new xperia x8's) have a security hole. They have a revamped chipset configuration. This basically means that attempting to unlock your bootloader will end up in a hard brick, and there is no way to revive the phone yourself
I was lucky cuz my date is 10w46
Hope this helped

[Q] can i unlock bootloader on Xperia X8 - 12W02

Hi,
i have an Xperia X8 - 12W02 and i wont to flash kernel, so can i unlock bootloader for this version (12W02).
thanks in advanced
No. brick only 11w26is careful Sory for me bad english
Wysłane z mojego E15i za pomocą Tapatalk
That code, 11W29, stands for 29th week of 2011. Chips created from then and after have the security hole effectively closed.
So in short, you should NOT attempt to unlock.
No. As Chris said about the security hole, unfortunately your phone is a 2012 production meaning its to late.
So, unfortunately you can't unlock you bootloader.hope I helped

It's a hard brick.
The only thing you can do is send it off to Sony Ericsson. The motherboard has to be replaced. There's no way you can revive your phone yourself
Oh no... please, next time you wanna do something you are unsure of, please ask us first...

Yes , you have to send it off for repair. If your phone is under warranty , just tell them that you are unaware of what happened and suddenly the phone stopped working and responding.
The warranty is expired

Successfully UNLOCKED Xperia X8 11W35 just hour ago!
I was scared with all disccussions here but I wanted to try, however it could finish.
I had followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
I am not encourageing anyone to do so, but it is good to know that 11W29 is not the limit, maybe it is 11W35?
Or maybe it has something with guidance? For me, guides by SpiderX were succsessfull.
U can by paid method

[Q] Anyone in Nepal with an X8/W8 + unlocked bootloader?

Just curious as to whether or not it was successful. Thanks. Please let me know if in the wrong section.
I dont understand and whats the connection of the place? You want to ask for help? We can help you. If your phone has this tag 11w29+ up then be very aware that you might brick your phone if it falls 11w28- below then just follow the instructions and your bootloader will be unlocked
What's the place got to do with anything?
