Hi all.. I'm confused now...
I have an Xperia X8 ( ROOTED ! ) and i want to unlock the bootloader so i can install a CM9 rom with the nAa kernel.
S1tool says LOADER VERSION: "R4A045" with big R letter so i have to unlock it.
When I click Unlock Bootloader in Flashtool it says " Root status : allowed " but 3 seconds later " Bootloader status : UNROOTABLE. "
Can someone help me what can I do to unlock the bootloader ? The phone is running on android 2.1 now.

Hello,
First of all you need to root your X8, download Flashtool, install it, run it, install drivers from folder and go to Applications>Unknown Sources(check)>Development>USB Debugging after that open Flashtool and make sure your phone is recognized by the program.
For custom kernel you need unlocked bootloader, for this better search in forums. It will be a pretty long story to explain you here. There are some guides.
There you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043491

Check your manufacture date under battery, if it's below 11w29 then you can unlock bootloader but if it is not DON'T EVEN TRY !
(I hardbricked my xperia once)
oh **** my data : 10W45 ... F*** i can't unlock bootloader

Hello guys,
Well... I guess I got one of the dumbest operator rom ever made for XZ (guess it's the same as Vodafone's one), so I wanna root it to get a recovery and then flash any kind of others roms but it's still weird..
By typing *#*#7378423#*#* => Service Info => Configuration ; I was (and I'm still) on the "Rooting Status : Bootloader unlock allowed : No"
So, I do Install the ADB Drivers from this Thread
Then I try the Binary's script, but still no reaction on the 2nd step (yeah I do launch it as administrator), and then I use the DoomLord'd recovery for locked bootloader
So now, I got the CWM 6.0.2.8 recovery on my phone, but I still got the "Rooting Status : Bootloader unlock allowed : No"
Well... I just dunno where I am... Do I am rooted ? Can I flash a custom rom ?
Help

Frnd, Make ur basics clear.. Rooting different from installing custom roms. To install a custom rom u need to unlock the bootloader first. But to root your device, you dont need the same.. Please search the forum once again.. u'll get the answer

I do check what I can since weeks now, and wait till safer way get released (seems cool now ?..)
So I do try the "official" way from sony to unlock the bootloader who just tell me "lol Bootloader unlock allowed : No"
Then.. I would like to unlock the bootloader yeah...
What do I mean to learn ? for now : locked bootloader will stay locked... (I'm still in that feelin that nothin is impossible)
So yeah I search on the forum to "make my basics clear" ; here we go => Usefull forum search
So, what I meant to learn now => I just can be rooted for now, but the Bin4ry's script don't work for me and I still dunno why
But... I success to get the CWM recovery on my phone through DoomLord'd recovery for locked bootloader
Questions was :
Can i flash a custom rom through CWM ? y/n ?
Usually on my previous phones (HTC Leo, HTC Desire, Samsung G2, Samsung Galaxy Nexus) as soon I can get the CWM on my phone mean that I'm rooted, so ?....
You can flash roms that are for locked bootloaders, they are usually indicated by [LB] in the dev threads. The bootloader unlock allowed status for your device will remain no, root does not magically allow you to unlock your bootloader.

bootloader in ICS is locked. Nothing to do about it, for now... later we'll see but, once in JB I don't believe
that someone wants to remain or go back to ICS.

Ok..tnx for clear answer
First welcome to our forum , I hope will find what you need .
Why do you want to know 'how to check' .
It's locked in ICS , unlockable in JB (for devices are EUR-xxx ,, after flash JB see the software info in settings) .
You can check it by :-
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Fastboot flash kernel xxx.img
Then you will get an error says :- error partition is locked .
Update your phone to JB and then unlock it , then check it in the hidden menu (3845#*880#) , goto bootloader status (or something like that) then will see it "unlock" (of course after you unlock it) .
About check them in recovery (like HTC devices) , in LG you can check them in download mode , you will see "unlocked bootloader" in the corner of screen .
to get any help we are here and you can ask us as much as you can .

You can root your ROM by using Towelroot and then install this recovery.
