I rooted back in October and everything still works fine. Don't worry, it's very satisfying when you completed the root process! It unlocks a whole world mods and hacks. Always re read the steps to make sure you don't miss anything or do something unesscary

Sorry , you wont be able to install custom roms without unlocking the bootloader .
I dont think you can install custom roms directly through fastboot,you will need a custom recovery(like CWM) which again needs bootloader to be unlocked.
Rooting does not really affect your SIM, and if you are scared it wil damage your SIM you can just keep it out during rooting.
Rooting is really, really worth it.

rooted rom:
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-1647118-1-1.html
I am still testing the rom, so far it seems everything fine.
Sorry i cannot mirror the rom to here since i am having very slow internet connection here. (i am now in China for businese trip)
I do not take any credit, nor any responsibility, all hardwork is done by YuHong of GoAPK.

Problem is how many of us owned a S-off IS...
soff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, remember you must S-OFF, only S-OFF then you can install the recovery.
so sorry to hear that most people here is S-ON.
actually I just bought my IS today, was told by the shop that root is not possible yet, but the phone is S-OFF so i decided to buy it and wait.
luckyly root is ready and available for download.

You could also just use SuperOneClick to get root.
Just used it, worked great (once you are S-OFF)

Hi, if you want to just root your currently installed firmware + use llnhhy's custom recovery, take a look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036581
hello.. my xperia x8 was originally subscriber locked and was unlocked by a technician (i ddnt know how and what he did) while being retained on stock and unrooted.
now the question is, will the unlock remain once i flash a custom rom such as ginger dx?
if not, how can i disable the subscriber lock?
thanks in advance for your replies..
Not at all....your bootloder remains unlocked always if it is done properly.

thank you for replying.. i hav more questns tho..
youre saying that the subscriber lock is with the bootloader?
would you consider using x8 toolbox in rooting the phone as proper?

Yes....you probably have unlocked bootloader.....would you minfd to look under the battery for a date number?
turn off phone
take out battery
look at the BACK SIDE of PHONE(not battery)
find something like 11W30 or 10W30 or 12W30...
Write down the number
Why would you want to use toolbox??
PRESS THANKS if someone helped,don't just say thanks
its 11w35. good thing the techncian ddnt brick it.
i want to install a custom rom and root this thats why i might need the toolbox, am i right?

Didn't brick during unlock progress? Sooo lucky!!!
-you can install flash-tools app (latest may not support x8) & download a custom kernel then flash kernel ... (read guides)
Then flash roms from recovery

can you ask your technician what method did he used to unlock it?
Don't install toolbox,download Flashtool
With Flashtool you can:
Root
Flash
Install apps
Clean
Install kernel
Install recovery
And for installing custom rom :
Root via flashtool
install recovery via flashtool
Put custom ROM .ZIP file on sd card
Flash custom kernel
go in recovery via phone(by pressing BACK button)
flash rom
tadaaa...you're done
what i remember is that the techncian used "credits" in unlocking but i'll ask him..
ok. flashtool it is.. im just concerned on losing the subscriber unlock and bricking the phone when installing custom kernels and roms..

I think the process is: unlock bootloader, flash recovery, flash ROM, done. ROM should have root access by default.
That's if you don't mind leaving stock stock.

That can't be used yet because only a few limited people have S-Off. Use the tutorial thread in development forum and that gives you a step by step guide of how to do it all.

Make sure you are flashing a 'super user' like software from cmd before you flash a new Rom, and I suggest having clock work mod recovery flashed, I currently have the touch one, but I think I prefer the classic. Some new roms are buggy with the touch

I unlocked and rooted my regular Sprint 32GB M7 and it went really smoothly - I used the All-In-One program with the Sprint version and there is a special Sprint SuperSU version that needs to be used for Sprint. I paid $200. for this phone - don't see any need for developer edition of phone.
---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------
Also I used the TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project) for my recovery and it works really smooth. Phone shows S-On - not sure what the difference would be if S-Off was showing.

1. try going into recovery and do a factory reset.
2. if that doesn't help, reflash and all your problems are solved.
do a clockwork mod backup before messing around next time

Use LG mobile support tool, also its "stuck" not "stock"
What are you on? He needs to reflash the rom as he changed the fonts and some may be missing, happens to loads of people, no need for a factory reset, just restore the fonts folder or reflash the rom, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader, bite the bullet, unlock ya bootloader and come over to AOSP in which i would recommend a 4.2.2 ROM.. or do the long winded way of flashing the stock Rom, your all giving some real extreme methods, it doesn't have to be this complicated..

Yes we have a locked bootloader. We have to use safestrap instead of the usual recovery like cwm or twrp.

Thank you so much i saw this post before but i stayed away from it because im new to android and this rooting/hacking...im not gonna lie ive always been an iphone person with a jailbreak but i dont hate on either phone because they are both great just personal preference. but thanks for the help now i have that working soll my last thing to figure out that scares me the most lol is installing new roms because thats how my first android messed up then i switched to iphone and have used them forever. do you know of a post that shows you how to set up the rom i can only find a post of compatible roms but i went to the safestrap screen and there is 4 rom slots and my stock rom slot and im not sure what any of that means.

Hi there, I have a question also,
Do I need to flash a custom rom using safestrap and then flash the script, or can I just use safestrap to flash the script on my ATT stock rom?
Thank you in advance.
