Lately,i see many of noobs install a rom in dev sec b4 read what its requirement & end up with bricking.
My suggest, a filter in download link which is direct to some form to tick correctly a requirement for specific roms.(similar with membership form).This form can be determined by dev of the roms & real download link will be open if they tick a right answer.for exp;
Phone model-x8/w8 tick/untick
Root tick/untick
Recovery System
Xrecovery tick/untick
CWM tick/untick
Baseband
xx06 tick/untick
xx15 tick/untick
Unlocked bootloader
Yes tick/untick
No tick/untick
Kernel
Stock tick/untick
Costum(can edit by dev)tick/untick
I know this will be annoying for some of us but prevent is better than cure
Hope colossus will see this & consider it.

Not a bad idea
But it will be very difficult to implement it. Practically impossible as I see it.
This can be done on google docs, create a form there... easy to implement...

Looks like Just SoftBrick dude [hardbrick means when your phone cannot be powered on]
You Relock Bootloader? Unlock it again
Flash ICS nAa Kernel, Flash MiniCM9 as simple is that
Or Using Pcc/SEUS, Flash All again to Stock Rom/Kernel.
Then, Using s1tool, check wheter you phone Already Unlock bootloader or Not.
If Not, Unlock Bootloader First,
If Yes, Flash kernel, Then Rom
Dont Forget to FULL WIPE
Just My opinion

Do you really require a certain baseband version? (will vesion 1.0 not work?)
And
What does a bootloader do?

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?

What kind of cm7 do you use?
Did you unlock your bootloader?
Did you install the latest Flashtool?
Do you have the latest nAa ics kernel in /flashtool/firmwares?
If you didn't unlock your bootloader, then you have to check the manufacturing date. If it's 11w29>, you can unlock the bootloader. Once you unlocked using Flashtool you have to download latest nAa ics kernel and move the .ftf into /flashtool/firmwares. Then you have to download the latest MiniCM or ISDX or ParanoidAndroid zip with latest gapps-ics. Copy the 2 zips to the root of your SD and flash latest nAa kernel with Flashtool. Then go to recovery, full wipe, flash the ROM that you downloaded and latest gapps-ics. Reboot. Done!

Hey guys!
Found my old xperia x8 and i wanted to flash a new rom.
rooted it and installed xrecovery.
do i need to unlock the bootloader to flash a new rom?
Or just for the kernel?
you unlock your bootloader to flash a custom kernel. Some roms are for stock kernel and others are for customs. What rom do you want to install? Also you maybe will need cwm and not xrecovery.

thats isnt standar (in fact i dont remember how the battery is at 2.1), it depends on many things but the battery life at gdx is very good.

Surely flashing any of the stock based ROMs that the guys have recommended is better than having a phone thats not working as well as it should.. and from my understanding if bootloader un-lock is not allowed then you can not unlock it...
