[Q] Can bootloader be unlocked with GDX v025? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436957
but i don't have the stock ROM, and was wondering if i can unlock the bootloader on GDX v025. I have a W8 with 11W20 and i plan on installing MiniCM9. Also, i read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24304432
What does he mean about flashing it to Gingerbread ROMs? I'd appreciate the help.
And is getting the stock ROM as simple as downloading it and then flashing it with CWM? and will i need to update it to the latest basebands or is there one already updates that's available?
Thanks

It's is highly advisable to be on stock ROM. Just flash it via PCC/SEUS. Why this is required , I don't know. But always people recommend unlocking on stock ROM. I too would therefore recommend the same. Get back to stock ROM
Don't risk it by unlocking on GDx v025
What he means that the kernel is meant for ICS ROMS only and is NOT meant for GB or stock ROMS

Another thing
So...
1) Flash Stock Rom using SEUS (will this be the one with the latest baseband and will my phone still be rooted?)
2) Unlock Bootloader while on Stock Rom (as stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436957)
3) Flash ICS kernel while on Stock Rom (as stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24304432)
4) Flash MiniCM9 (as stated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575094)
Am i right?
Also, is it necessary to install all to Google Apps which nAa has provided a link to?
And where does the currently rooted state of my phone lie in all of this?
Thanks

Not sure about SEUS , but if you use PCC , your phone gets unrooted.
I guess both ways, you have to root again. But that's not a cumbersome task. Just use superoneclick and then place xrecovery files in /system/bin
Just make sure that after flashing the kernel , you flash the ROM directly after it. If you reboot your phone after flashing the kernel , you will encounter a soft brick.
It is not necessary , but recommended. I would suggest that you flash Gapps (Google Apps) , and then manually remove the applications you do not want by using apps like "Root Uninstaller" from the Play Store.
I did not understand your last question.
I am 99.999% sure of what all I told you is correct. However , since I have a locked bootloader , I might have missed somewhere (I'm sure I have not though)

I unlocked my 11w18 with GDX , no problems

Sorry to keep bugging you, but do you need ADB Shell or something similar to run the scripts mentioned? Or is it just a simple double click?

Which rom you are using to unlock bootloader
It only works with stock rom
that's false information you have given. It will also work with custom ROM 2.2 2.3 as well -at least as far as unlocking by using flashtool 0.5.3 is concerned.
They want you to stick with stock ROM 2.1 because there's less risk of screwing things up. There are various persons who have unlocked their bootloader using custom ROM such as gingerdx and gingerexperia.
There are never any official words that come out and say "don't use custom ROM" but if you look at the code where they patch things you only see that they need a stock kernel and rooted system to work with, nothing more than that!

How to start from "zero"?

Hello, I'm kinda newbie at this...
I have an Xperia X8 e15a with manufacturing date 11W11 @ stock kernel, running with GDX v026.
but lately I've noticed that my phone is too slow... even when I get incoming calls, its hard to slide the bar and answer them, so I want to know how can I speed up my phone. I'm thinking of changing the ROM to PrimeHD or other ROM that is faster.
I also think of the possibility of changing to a custom kernel but I'm afraid of bricking it because I remember this phone was from X company and I entered a code on internet and now it works for Y company, so I don't know if thats a real SIM unlock (bootloader unlocking says the phone must be sim unlocked). Oh... and I wonder if I could make a swap partition... I don't really know how to do it, I've just made them on my PC so I'm not sure if I can do it on my phone.
I feel like my phone is messy... I've seen 2 kinds of recovery tools and I just wanna have one (CWM and xRecovery). Does full wipe delete them? I would like to go back to the very begginig (without unrooting lol) and then change everything from the start :S.
Thanks.
PD: long story short:
What ROM is fast?
how can I make a swap partition?
can I unlock the bootloader to have a custom kernel? (having in mind that I introduced a code online to "unlock" my SIM)

1st check with s1too is you have sim lock certificate(if yes, you can unlock your bl)
2 you can try yourself there is no perfect rom for everbody
You need a partition on your sd for use swap
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
I just unlocked my phone...
Well I know there's no perfect ROM for everybody, but I'm just asking for some recomendations on fast ROMs... :B
is PrimeHD fast? is any other ROM faster than GDX?
And about the swap partition... is there any requirements? I remember I wanted to do it back then but I don't remember why I didn't xD
thanks
If you've already unlocked bl, switch kernels. That would help a lot.

Unlocked bootloader ? Flash Alfs kernel for cm7 and then flash the rom GingerZaraki..
buttery smooth.
I'm running aAa kernel and PrimeHD and it's very well for now
I will try that combination too, thanks
pd: would a swap partition actually help? is it recomendable?
for smooth rom u just need custom kernel

IMO you don't need swap at all for GB.
Still if you want to, use it with a class 6 or 10 sdcard
Need help installing Recovery on Stock kernel
Hello All,
I was using CyanogenMod7 @ FXP kernel and had reverted back to Stock Kernel + Rom. Now I just want to try Custom ROMS over STOCK Kernel but couldn't find a way to install CWM on Stock Kernel for my W8 Device.
I want to use FDE 4+, but that too requires CWM to be installed over Stock Kernel, and I seriously don't know how to do this.
Someone please provide me a link/tutorial/guide to do the same.

Maybe you should give GDX another try, now that you have unlocked your bootloader. I used to use GDX with stock kernel, but like 14days ago I unlocked my bootloader and flashed ALFS kernel for GDX and now the ROM is like it never was before, super smooth and fast.

No 3g signal after successful unlock GDX | alfs | 015

Hey guys. Sorry if this is the wrong section.
I have an e15a xperia x8 11v14 (perfectly unlockable)
The thing is that i wanted to update to gingerdx v28 from scratch so i went back to stock settings ( rom 2.1, no addons, original baseband, etc).
I followed all the steps to do a clean install
Installed e15a 015 baseband
Unlocked the phone with s1tool and msm7227_semc (before doing this it still showed e15a model, after this it started showing e15i)
Installed alfs kernel
Installed rom Gingerdx
Installed addons
blah blah
Pretty straight forward :good:
Now the thing is that i dont have 3g signal at all, so i went to check the baseband and it was half correct, like i said before it ended in 015 but my model said it was an e15i. Correct me if i'm wrong but i think e15i are models from europe so that would explain why 3g would't work (i'm from south america).
I tried to restore the phone using seus or pcc, with no luck (it kept saying that my phone was updated ).
I got all stock kernels, roms, basebands from stickies in XDA so i don't think that could be the problem.
Somehow AFTER i unlocked the phone the model changed and i cant change it back (tried rooting, flashtool, relock and so on)
Everything else works like a charm, very smooth, very fast, no complaints.
Any ideas about how change with another method cuz now i can't go back to my original e15a model.
PS: apn settings are OK too
Well i dunno if somehow this will be useful to anyone but i SOLVED the problem.
These are the steps i followed (IN THIS EXACT ORDER)
Before unlocking it root it with flashtool
Verify with s1tool it's locked (here's the post i used to do the unlocking http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436957)
If everything is cool proceed to this:
install baseband 015 (for e15a model in my case)
install alfs kernel (latest for GDX)
install rom (latest GDX)
install alfs addon
full wipe
wipe davilk cache
wipe battery cache
enjoy
Anyway thanks to all for reading this post, hope it helps to people with my same problem.
PROBLEM SOLVED
how?

Hey pal !
If you bricked your phone you should check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071
About the baseband, first u should check which baseband is correct for you. Phones in America use different frequency ranges than phones in Europe so, to begin with i'd need u to tell me where the phones was sold...anyway, most cooked roms need 015 baseband to be flashed instead of the 006. Check in your phone settings if your device model is E15a (a is for America) or E15i (i is for International, but mostly Europe).
For example: if your phone is E15a you should flash E15a_X8a_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015 in order to install any cooked rom.
You can find almost everything you'll need here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425240
BTW just in case check this thread to avoid hard bricking http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481630

Hey buddy
I strongly recommend gingerdx, it's the most stable rom i've tested and you have the choice to use a stock kernel or a modded one (like alfs or naa), plus there's a great guide to install it.

Hey Guys,
I have Galaxy note GT-N7000
android ver. : 4.0.3
I wanna know how could I update to jelly bean or at least ICS 4.4 if there is no official version of JB for Note yet,
I'm afraid that I heard that there is a problem with the Kernel or something like this in galaxy note that I can't update to newer version of andriod,
could you tell me please how to do this safely without any harm ?!!
Once you flash stock ROM for your area then you will be able to update with kies/OTA (once it released to your area)
But incase if you are on any other ROM there will be option to update with Odin.
stay tuned to XDA.
do you have a costum rom or are you planning to get a costum rom??
if that is the case you can use odin to flash a safe kernel and then flash an unofficial costum rom...search in the forum...
if you are on stock rom and you plan on staying on stock rom you will have to wait till it releases and you can download it once its released
the thing about the ICS being unsafe applies only if you're rooting or flashing a costum rom...other then that you should be fine as far as I know.
just out of curiosity why is everyone so eager to get on ics or jb??I am still on gingerbread and I don't exactly need to update...

how to get safe kernel ? and how to flash kernel and costum rom ? sorry I'm newbie :$
I rooted ICS 4.0.4 by a way I found it in XDA forum and it is rooted safely but without CWM
about why i'm eager to get ICS or JB is that some people told me that it is better for battery usage , I'm not sure !!

You will remain same on ICS 4.0.4 by flashing this. But this is safe kernel, you will be safe from emmc brick bug, as well you can use its CWM to backup/restore nandroid, as well you can flash custom ROM.

After flashing safe kernel, you can safely wipe or hard reset.
And yes flash custom rom too, but before flashing custom rom you have to read instruction from custim rom thread op.

I have Sony ericsson w8 and I have flash it with x8 kernal (2.0.0.A.53) and installed GingerDx. Now I am putting Jelly bean but the naA jb kernal or Ics kernal is showing 'flashing aborted' while flashing . Neither ICS nor JB is installing on my X8. Now i am running gingerDx..
So please help me in installing JB or ICS custom kernal with full procedure.
Thankyou....
Easy method,
1. flash nAa jb 05
2. flash any jb rom u want as mentioned in thread
3.flash nAa jb 06
Or you can workaround by editing the rom zip but above method is easier
Happy Flashing JB
work hard, play hard

All jb kernels can be downloaded from same page mentioned in the thread ..
Rom, whichever you like, you can flash kernel again & again

Firstly...have u unlocked your phone's bootloader? Jelly bean or ICS on X8/W8 works only a custom kernel....which u can install if u have a unlocked bootloader....if your bootloader is not unlocked u cannot flash any other kernel.....

use s1tool to check bl status. if you're flashing naa's jb kernel the first time you need to format data cache system apart from the wipes, then flash a compatible rom.

Can my phone sony ericsson has already bootloader unlocked. is it possible??
no, sony ericsson hadn't been that much of "friendly" to AOSP, you need to check it first with s1tool then if your mfg date is 11w29 below you can unlock it
