do it only if you can send it to repair if it hardbricks bro..
you should have tried sending the arc to repair shop instead of throwing it away

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

Sure brick if 11W28 AND up

How to Unlock Bootloader in Xperia x8 11w48 ?

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..

I think it is safe to unlock your bootloader. The ones which get hardbricked are the models which have 11w29 + manufacturing date

Bootloader unlock on 11W44 ??

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.

@op
If I were you I wouldn't try to unlock the bootloader if I weren't under warranty. Its more likely that you will hard brick you phone.if you still want to try it, you better be ready for the worst.
If you can afford the money there are safe paid methods which can unlock any date(11wxx,12wxx),but this has nothing to do with xda,so google is your friend

Some people have successfully unlocked the bootloader even tough they say that it isnt safe to unlock the bootloader is the manufacturing date is 11W29+
But it may not be the case for everyone.Sometimes it will be a hard brick and you may need to send it back to Sony to get it repaired and your warranty wont be considered as you were messing with the bootloader.Sometimes is you have a lot of luck,have enough money to replace athe phone and courage to try it then you are free to do it as you are the sole responsible person for your phone.You may be greeted by a Bootloader unlocked phone or a Hard Bricked phone.Its your choice!!
If you want to unlock bootloader to install a custom rom then you can try the roms that are for stock kernels.I think thats better than unlocking your bootloader.

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