Under my battery, it clearly says 11w40, and it's been told to me that you can unlock the bootloader with the number up to 29. Since my X8 is stuck on Eclair, and I hate that, is there a possible way to get a custom ROM, with 11w40?

Its not necessary to unlock bootloader for a custom rom
first root your phone then install recovery
search for a rom for stock kernel and install it
You can use custom roms but you need those that tell "(for) stock kernel"

Hi. I want to flash Alfs kernel so I must first unlock the bootloader.
Just one tiny question...
I am using GingerDX v021. Do I have to revert to 2.1 to unlock bootloader?
Thanks very much!
Sent from my W8 using XDA App
Some people said that its ok to not go back to 2.1. But if u r not a risk taker,just go back to 2.1
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Its up to you, mine got bricked while flashing a new kernel after i unlocked in gingerxperia (2.3.7)
however when i did everything again while on 2.1 it did work
tried few times unlocking the bootloader other than 2.1 and always failed..
from my own experience 2.1 has better chance of succeed.
Do I have to use stock 2.1 or it's also okay with customized 2.1?

what do u mean by customized? installing themes, launcher, etc? as long as you customize the original rom i think it will be ok.
If you're not sure it's better to download the original stock room.
Cos if it is stock,where do i get the link?

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,

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.

11w29+ is RISKY. Just because a couple of people have unlocked theirs does not minimize the risk. you were very lucky.

Sorry to hijack the thread :good:
Did you manage to get your phone onto the EURO Firmware or you just unlocked your current firmware ?
To unlock the phone and install a custom ROM I take it that you must root the device first so :-
1) root
2) Unlock
3) cwm
4) custom rom
I am coming from a Galaxy S2 which I did not have to root just use ODIN so thats why I am asking because I want to go straight to custom CM10
I unlocked 262-001..... And
