I Seen Numerous Of Thread In XDA.
Since Mine Is 11W38. Would Be High Risk At Unlocking Bootloader.

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

I recently tried to unblock my bootloader, but my motherboard or whatever it is was after 11W28 (11W48 I think) and I bricked my phone. Now when I sent it to get it fixed, they changed it to 10W46. Can I unblock my bootloader without being afraid of a hard brick? If the process is done correctly of course.

They gave you an older one, so you can. I hate when they 'repair' a phone by giving another one back to the user, but in most cases they will give you an older one (like now) that can be unlocked (almost) safely

But, if he have sim lock certificated and a older motherbord, he have 100% of chances of success unclock process or even have a chance of hard brick? Its my doubts, sorry, but in flashing kernel process have chances of hard brick too?

Root. Do whatever you want.
Need service? Flash stock before taking the phone to official service.
Same can be said about unlocking the bootloader.
But XperienceD is right, rooting DOES NOT VOID THE WARRANTY.

Wrong : The Free Software Foundation Europe argues that it is legal to root or flash any device. According to the European Directive 1999/44/CE, replacing the original operating system with another does not void the statutory warranty that covers the hardware of the device for two years unless the seller can prove that the modification caused the defect, accroding to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_rooting
So even if Sony, or the president of the usa, or Thor himself said that void warranty, that's not true.

I've been there personally. Took my Xperia S, another Xperia S, an X10, and an Arc to service.
All rooted no problems.
I even took my previous Xperia S bootloader unlocked to have the screen replaced. Totally forgot to lock the bootloader. They yelled at me because I wasn't covered by warranty, but they kinda know me already as I buy all my phones over there (they let me play with the Z Ultra too ), they spared my life and didn't charge the 150€ they charge for having the screen replaced without warranty.
Sony service is great here in Spain, if you take the phone personally. Not so much when you have to deal with delivery system.
Awesome.!! but the Sony service rep here in India are kinda dumb. But I can deal with it. Thanks a lot for your help guys

Haha sure do it, it's totally legal to root your phone, even in India.
So even phones with unlocked bootloader, they need to prove the damage is because of the software we used! Am I right in this?

Yes and no. The service that is in my city is very clear about this. What they told me is that they need to register te parts replaced with their software, maybe serial numbers to keep control what goes in and out,, but they can't do so with the bootloader unlocked as they cannot flash stock firmware with the tools they have.

Wrong, a phone with a locked bootloader can be flashed by any flash tool made for Xperia Z, it's only if you unlock the bootloader that they can't (SUS and PCC don't work on unlocked bootloader), and btw that void the warranty to unlock the bootloader.
And yes they need prove that the modification caused the defect if any.

Hi Guys,
My C6603 is acting up like crazy, I have reset the phone using emma from Sony, so the stock rom is on it now.
But the phone is randomly turning off without using the charger, when the charger is attached, no problem at all, I can do anything, but without charger, I start the camera app and the phone turns off, cant turn on the phone anymore till I have attached the charger. When its loaded up, battery says 90%. Even after a night of charging it wont stay stable without the charger.
Does anyone can help me with this problem?
I have a unlocked bootloader, could that be the problem?
Thnx in advance.
In first hand, having locked or unlocked bootloader has nothing to do with your problem.
Most likely sounds as a ser software problem

Restore TA partition? Guess not, cause I have no clue what that means.
It is your actual warranty LOL.
If you are luck, they could not notice that the phone has it's bootloader tampered.
Sony states on developer.sonymobile.com that in some countries they do not accept unlocked phones into warranty

That is completly true, I WAS on a locked bootloader.
What I did today to try and fix it was locking the bootloader and using PCC to repair the phone, that worked, but still had the problems. So in the meantime I have locked to bootloader.
Sorry, but PCC doesn't touch the bootloader, so if you can flash with it, was in fact unlocked, and another thing is that software says...
Actually, PCC neither SEUS doesn't work with unlocked bootloaders, you have to flash an unlocked bootloader phone with Emma or Flashtool.

Not sure if I follow you.
I had a problem, I was on the unlocked bootloader at that time.
I have try to repair my phone with Emma, cause when I tried with PCC it said, cant do that cause of custom software. Emma did work and I reinstalled stock firmware. That didn't solve the problem, so I have locked my bootloader with flashtool and tried to recover the phone with PCC, at that time it did work, so the bootloader is locked again.
It did reinstall my phone, but still had the same problems. That is when I went back to the store.
Let's take one at a time.
Relocking bootloader with Flashtool doesn't restore the TA partition, wich on where your DRM Keys are stored. Unique for each unit.
You should have backed up the TA partition prior to unlock it.
You have them lost forever, and it is one thing that any service man would look for.
If they aren't present, means that you MAYBE installed custom software, and they can claim void your warranty.
Look for TA backup thread next time
