Yes, you will need to root you X8, Intall a custom recorvey, then Flash a rom!
I recommend Gingerdx 22 (New one is not as good as before...)
I'm new to XDA!
Please click the "thanks" button if i helped!

You need root privileges to unlock Bootloader. It says it on the unlocker cmd file. "Getting root rights" or something similar.
Actually, you need to root to do pretty much everything here on XDA.

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

Yes, but only those for stock kernel. GingerDX and some others work on stock kernel.
Next time use search button.

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
