If jellyb rolles out i would like it to have ot on my phone,so are there and pple hwo got hard brick with 11w23or lower?

Afaik there will always be even a small chance of something going wrong. But then
It's the 11w29+ phones that are really at risk.
Goodluck lukenda. And if you do get your bl unlocked, thanks for your help for those of us with 11w29+.

There is no risk. I unlocked mine under gdx with 11w18 and I didn't even knew if I risk something xD

As everyone said before, it's safe as long as the phone isn't sim-locked.
However, regarding Jelly Bean -- as nobodyAtall said on his CM10 development thread, it's "a best effort to support the unsupportable" or something like that; our X8 really, really shouldn't go any further than 2.3. I'm currently on 4.0 and it leaves a lot to be desired -- 2.3 roms are *much* snappier, but for some reason I get terrible battery life on those (that's why I'm on 4.0)

How can i be sure that my phone is not sim lock.
Without inserting various sim cards,thanks

Read Bootloader unlock threads for thatv sim certificate. Everything is explained there.
Mine X8 is 11W19 and i had no problems with unlocking bootloader.

Are u seriously asking these or u are testing us.. u have been here since quite a long time and know a lot more than many of us around..
Any way you can check out the thread by spyderx on unlocking with all the methods and details or mine below for a simple one with some usefull links..
And yes i haven't heard anyone complaining about brick for the one's below 11W29, still no one can assure u on that, there are always a few chances if something goes wrong(very small chance )..
Good luck.. :thumbup:

No risk is involved, but use your brain a little bit.
Im sure you will be happy after unlocking ur bootloader.

Hey, ur not a noob, though its ur choice

You should read related threads for unlocking bootloder and then follow proper procedure.
U will definitely succeed.
Gud luck

Mate, Its to dengerous to Unlocking the bootloader on outdate 11W29+,
Once Hardbrick, you cannot revive ur phone by ur Self, u need to send it in for Repair, and most likely they will change ur motherboard.
But, Maybe Have Someone succesed unlock bootloader on outdate X8?
If yes, yeah ! I want it to, for my 2nd X8

hey dude, well my w8 was on W1129+ but i took the risk and ended up hard-bricking my phone ands as a result had to take it back for repairs... they changed the motherboard (as you said) but didnt change the stickers...
is there anyway i can identify the "week" of my current motherboard?
But with the w8 its waaaay much more risk for a hard brick But the x8 is a little bit more safe ..

Hey Dude,
I think service center replaced the mobo with a pre 11W29 one,
Most likely that the replacement is even newer [11W5x -> 12W0x] than your original motherboard was. There is no way to find out "week" of you mobo except
of the sticker, or maybe you can ask them what the "week" mobo they replaced for you,
Peace,
I unlocked My bootloader and mine is 11w35

The ONLY reliable, and existing, way to tell if the phone is "security fixed" is through "GPG cable connection" ... as detailed by the_laser on setool.net
Also, the ONLY way to unlock the boot loader of 11W29+ devices (without hard bricking) is also by using a combined hardware/software approach. There's NO WAY to unlock the boot loader through software only.

Ok, the road is open for someone which buy the software and hardware and unlock, at good price, phone for all 11w29 in the world... Better if one for country. Could be a way to be busy and rich
This is just a joke, obviously.

Unlock X8 bootloader

my x8 is 11w34 and i got SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE with s1tool.....thats means i will success unlock bootloader?
No,having 11w29+ there is a high risk of hard brick,or its better to say that there is a tiny rate of success.
I'd advice you not to try,there are good roms for stock kernel
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Buddy..don't take the risk
I wouldn't take any chances... Sony has fixed a firmware backdoor in newer phones after 11W29.

from my E15i using xda premium
it's a closed group. and it's not really impossible to unlock 11w29+ phones. even some people have unlocked their 11w48's. the risk involved are too big to take the chance imo. there are paid methods though. and still, the risk starts at 11w29.

I guarantee that he can unlock the bl its safe as the s1 tool shows SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE & its 11w34 too.Visit top-roms.com
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
any bootloader can be unlocked. but some may lead to hard bricks, ones that can't be recovered from.
11w29+ are just not that safe to unlock. even if s1tool says SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE.
do your homework before you post. and don't mislead fellow members into unlocking their 11w29+ bootloaders if you can't help them after they hard brick their phone.
thank you

@ OP
You shouldn't try it yourself i.e. you shouldn't get it done by the tools available for download.
You may end up with a first-class paperweight.
But (yes there is a but) you can get it unlocked by paid methods from electronics stores. Some members have done that and have succeeded.
And after you have read this post, go in front of the mirror and say "<INSERT YOUR NAME HERE>, you shall not hold any XDA-ian responsible for any damage caused to your phone. You took this decision yourself. They did not influence you in any way." And even if you don't I think members here are willing to testify against any allegation towards XDA regarding your phone's status.

don't try it mate. for x8/w8, if the date is greater than 11w28, the risk of a hard brick is huge. better stay on stock kernel. also, you may want to read the stickies to make it clear why that's so.

some people with 11w29 up have successfully unlocked their bl. they got lucky as most who tried bricked their phones. there is also a paid method but i'm not familiar with it.
roms that do not need unlocked bootloader? gingerdx, froyopro, froyobread, amd some more in the dev section of x8. there are a number of roms for stock. so just have a look around. :thumbup:
