Sugesstion to prevent NOOBS brick their phone

Lately,i see many of noobs install a rom in dev sec b4 read what its requirement & end up with bricking.
My suggest, a filter in download link which is direct to some form to tick correctly a requirement for specific roms.(similar with membership form).This form can be determined by dev of the roms & real download link will be open if they tick a right answer.for exp;
Phone model-x8/w8 tick/untick
Root tick/untick
Recovery System
Xrecovery tick/untick
CWM tick/untick
Baseband
xx06 tick/untick
xx15 tick/untick
Unlocked bootloader
Yes tick/untick
No tick/untick
Kernel
Stock tick/untick
Costum(can edit by dev)tick/untick
I know this will be annoying for some of us but prevent is better than cure
Hope colossus will see this & consider it.

Not a bad idea
But it will be very difficult to implement it. Practically impossible as I see it.

This can be done on google docs, create a form there... easy to implement...

Looks like Just SoftBrick dude [hardbrick means when your phone cannot be powered on]
You Relock Bootloader? Unlock it again
Flash ICS nAa Kernel, Flash MiniCM9 as simple is that
Or Using Pcc/SEUS, Flash All again to Stock Rom/Kernel.
Then, Using s1tool, check wheter you phone Already Unlock bootloader or Not.
If Not, Unlock Bootloader First,
If Yes, Flash kernel, Then Rom
Dont Forget to FULL WIPE
Just My opinion

Do you really require a certain baseband version? (will vesion 1.0 not work?)
And
What does a bootloader do?

If your lucky, that old motherboard was replaced in your X8 when repaired (if date<=11W29)
then go UB

Yes I checked the website from sony (and some other).
Does all of those Tools works on W8 ?
Because I did my best (including asking for bootloader unlock key) and I'm unable to make my fastboot mode recognize on W8 hardware list
If you got a clue, welcome .
Watever happens, thanks Guys and Girls for all the non-profit job you do for most of us.
(btw : I just want to root my Xperia SP to be able to pull away some sony' apz that work underflow and make it 60% ram used without launching anything; this of course, make it slow !!)

Ya I think so.. You should pm one of the experienced dev or member who owns Xperia SP and has carried out or helped in the development of the same phone model.. :thumbup:
Sent from my Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app

I have the same unlock allowed: No...
You can only use stock based roms, only recoveries for locked BL, and cannot enter fastboot mode...
Use SEUS for repairing or reinstalling stock rom if u ever mess something up during rom installation.

[q] [help] my x8 hard bricked [help]

I rooted my x8 2 months ago and unlocked bootloader(10w37) successfully for flashing custom rom nAa-ics and i flashed MINICM9 ROM.I used that rom for 1 month nd again i tried to flash the nAa-JB kernal without unocking bootloader.Now my phone is not booting up but vibrates at start and my pc cant identify my phone .When i tried to charge my phone it shows red LED light....................
PLEASE HELP ME

You don't have to re-unlock bootloader to flash another kernel. it might be a battery drain(it may sounds silly, but that is what I think).
flash stock X8 2.1 ftf with flashtool. lets see how it goes.

Yor r right brother as u said the phones battery was drained.Going to buy a new battery nd will try flash......................
