Is there any way to unlock the Bootloader without bricking it ?
I want to install GingerDX on it and change the kernel and so.
I have now GingerXperia v10, android version 2.3.7, and Kernel Version 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
What I need is to make my android smoother because it's so slow with the GingerXperia, so I thought it would be better if I get GingerDX or anything else but keep the 2.3.7 version.
Any Ideas ?

Even if you can't unlock you're phone.. gingerdx for stock is available..
To unlock above 11W29 you'll have to pay.. and it's quite risky for the ones above 11W35..

But if I keep it with stock kernel will it be faster and smoother than the GingerXperia V10?
And thank you ^^

I have sony ericsson xperia E15i with date code of 10w37....Is the bootloader is safe to unlock???
Plz reply guyz i need help.....
I think it is safe to unlock your bootloader. The ones which get hardbricked are the models which have 11w29 + manufacturing date

It means...check first ur phone date of manufacturing. If its in the safe range,u have 90% chance of the unlock a success(9% depends on ur PC,1% luck). If ur phone is not in the safe range, well u just need to think very hard if u really want to unlock th bootloader...its up to u,but not recommended although there are people that succesfully unlock their bootloader when their phone is in the risk zone. Its all up to u
Check first does ur PC have any problem detecting ur phone in flashmode or not. This can be done by flashing ur phone back to stock 2.1 rom using flashtool. If there is no problem, ur good to go. If there is,just find the solutions to it

Thanks for clarification. By the way, i have followed with your mentioned step to unlock bootloader, but it was not success.
Could you guide me to unlock bootloader of X8 successfully? Thanks for your guidance.

why is the same questions keep coming up..? and its in the same thread..
gonna write this big so people dont ask this again.
11w28
11 stand for year
w stand for week
28 stands for number of week
if ur week of production is high eg.34, thats mean ur phone is new
if its low eg.09, then its old
*the date is just an example,it may vary from ur device to another, so i hope that the question of "my phone dont show 11w28 but XXwXX" dont show up
So my phone is danger ... soo .. anyway i could unlock bootloader.. ? Anyone would like to trade old w8 with my new w8 .
Thank me only if i did helped
Any ways to check my current phone has its bootloader unlocked or not ?
Thank me only if i did helped

Hello everyone
I have an Xperia W8 (X8) which has a manufacture date of 11W44. All I wanted that I wanted to unlock bootloader so that I could install the nAa kernel and then install the ICS rom.
But the guides say that my mfd. date should be before 11W29 :crying:
What should I do? I checked many forums and threads but nothing is matching my problem.
Please help!
THERE IS A SCREENSHOT OF THE "About Phone" OPTION IN SETTINGS
__________________________________________________
Phone info.
Xperia W8 11W44 (rooted)
Bootloader: most probably locked (idk actually)
ROM: kuyaDROID
Kernel: Stock (because my bootloader is locked )
There is some paid method. Please search

No ics for stock kernel. The only way is to pay for it. Or, risk it. I guess it's safe to say you have 90+% chance of hard brick if you try. Not worth it

Yes, we have an ics for stock. But its laggy and buggy.
Though there are many time for stock kernel

do it only if you can send it to repair if it hardbricks bro..

use testpoint2 if im not mistaken to unlock bootloader from 11w28+
if you take the risk and it fails just relock the bootloader again and update it using PCC or SEUS to revive it again
sorry im just a newbie if this helped you press thanks button
