yes, i think thats possible, I think it is quite complicated to do so since our x8 has lower level of configuration of hardware...

It is possible, Nobodyatall said in the future he will do that!

Well that's a great news let's see who's the first to bring it to our X8.

lots of people knows about it so its true , iam not the only one who wishing something like that afterall

If this is true..does it mean we don't need to unlock boot loader to flash new kernels.

its not done yet , but when its done u will have to unlock bootloader from pc then flash ur desired kernel anytime through cwm recovery no flashtool anymore

i thinks its possible with higher kernels (example 2.6.35) and not with our 2.6.29. but i m not sure.. correct me if im wrong

Help please!

I have Xperia x8 and I want to install ICS 4.0.4 but I need to have Unlocked Bootloader for do that.I looked on net to find how to do that but it's only for 11w29 or lower but my is 11w47 so i don't want to hard brick my phone.So can I install ICS on my x8?

Sadly, you cannot. However, there is an ICS ROM which is made for stock kernel, though it is very buggy and not maintained anymore.

It is recommended to you for not unlocking the bootloader instead of saying No.
It's all upon you to take the risk or not. There are so many buddies who successfully unlock their bootloder and other failed also.
I recommended to you go for stock roms(ginger) e.g.
Gingerdx v28
Kuyadroid 4.5.4
Which not required unlocked bootloder
Yup!!!!

[Q] Custom kernel

My friend have the p970, and he talk me to install a custom rom for he, but any rom need custom kernel. In my xperia x8, to install a custom kernel, need a uncloked bootloader and a flash process in pc. But i see a video showing a instalation of cm10 on p970, without flashing a new kernel with other program, but the kernel change just with a zip instalation.
How can i install cm10 for p970 without unklocking bootloader? Im cofused.

Installing a rom on P970 its a pretty simple.
You just need root and recovery... to install a rom just do a full wipe and then install the .zip, search on general section about how to make root.

Just this? Isnt necessary to unclock bootloader to flash cm10 and flash a kernel with a program?
Sorry for noob question and bad english

Nope, because our bootloader is unlocked. Kernel comes with the flashable .zip file, so no need for additionally flashing anything after

[Q] Couple of boot loader unlocking doubts...

Helloo Everybody..
I will be really grateful if someone found a solution to my problem...
I know that this is not a support site, but a developers world, but after searching and googling, i couldnt help my self.
Mods can close and delete this thread if they want.
My question is that if I flash a Gingerbread kernel(nAa or Alfs) on ECLAIR 2.1...wont it create problems..such as force closing or rebooting sort of problems??
Secondly I read SpydeX thread of unlocking bootloader..i got all the tools ready, but the thread doesnt mentions anything about entering into recovery via kernel on ECLAIR 2.1... the guide just tells that after flashing entr into recovery and flash the rom.
I tried this trick on my friends X8, but no success..
Thanxx in advance

If you flash a custom kernel at the eclair while you have locked bootloader,you will have bootloop(it wont boot,but you can easily fix it),if you have unlocked your bootloader it will be fine
As for your second question,you unlock your bootloader,you flash the kernel(which contain cwm),you enter recovery(cwm),and you flash the rom.

No he's got it wrong.
1. You can't flash custom kernels on a locked rom flashtool won't allow it.
2. Flashing a custom kernel on stock 2.1 will cause it to bootloop, what you'd normally do is enter recovery and flash a rom that works with the kernel.

No,users have reported that custom kernels work with stock rom(I remember very clear a user who used naa kernel with stock rom)
Maybe older versions...
If I'm wrong then I apologize

(Q) flashing custom rom on locked x8

Hi everyone, i have a locked x8 and i wanted to ask if i can unlock the bootloader and flash another rom. Will i have any problem with it?
+ is there any free way to unlock it?
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

Only if you have below 11w28 with free guide else you can choose paid method as i do.

it is not necessary to unlock the bootloader to pass another rom, make you root your phone and put a rom on your liking, I suggest gdx v030

If you have at the back sticker of your phone a number that tells 11w29- then you can unlock your bootloader.
Even if you cant unlock your bootloader you can install a custom rom but you can use those roms that are for stock kernel.
