my xperia x8 is 11w46 so i can't unlock the bootloader... can i still get a rom with gingerbread ?
Of course you can. Just root your device, install CWM Recovery and flash a ROM that does not require a custom kernel such as GingerDX.

If youre new to the world of ROMS go with GingerDX v021 because it doesnt require an unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel.

this is a list of roms which can use on SE Stock Kernel...........
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!!!!

There are so many time for stock kernel. Just search
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

So today i'm trying to download GingerDX it seems too most famous ROM on xperia x8 ever. I just wanna know which version is better with less bug V31 or down.
I am using V31b for STOCK KERNEL and I haven't find any bugs so far
If you have your bootloader unlocked install v31b for custom kernel
Try GingerDX V31b with nAa-kernel.The latest the better ;D

V31b is pretty bug free (I'm using stock kernel)
YEAH! use latest version Ginger DX and don't use with JIMDEM Tweaks! i got bootloop when i tried to install Jimdem Tweaks in
latest version of Ginger DX several times.
maybe JIMDEM Tweaks not compatible with the latest version of Ginger DX.

The answer is in this topic. Your kernel is stock.
