I followed a guide for unlocking my x8 phone. My device died after unlocking bootloader. The manufacturing date of my device is 11w48. Is there any way I get that back to life? It is not detected when I connect it to computer. It does not show any sign of life!
I need some advice on what to do. Thanks a lot for your kind comments in advance.

You have to unlock bootloader to flash custom kernels
Will i get HARDbricked if my battery is 11W29?
Not battery! It's a phone production date! And propably yes The risk is too big
Someone did it??? Any more answers please

yes in order to install custom kernel bootloader needs to be unlocked. as far as the warning is concerned its said that devicea with date 11w29 later have the risks of getting bricked,u can check out the threads on the topic.
You have to be careful. I am very very lucky to unlock mine which is 11w30.

Yes, i think so, via SEUS?
Mine got hardbricked when i installed a custom rom() the wrong way, and it worked when i updated it with SEUS(Sone Ericsson Update Companion).

It's NOT a hard brick. Hard brick is when phone doesn't react on power button, can't enter into recovery and flash mode. Hard brick = phone is dead! If this happens You won't be able to repair it via seus, pc companion etc etc.

So, i got myself a x8 (already have a Htc desire z, fully rooted and unlocked) since i had to renew contract and they basically gave it away (10dls/12months)
The problem is its 11w45, so from what i've been reading, its too risky to unlock bootloader.
So, my question is, is it still good to root? (using oneclick)
and also, what things can i do with just root?? and what things can i only do with an unlocked bootloader? (im already guessing that flashing kernels will be a no, for what ive read)
Thanks for all help

You can root without any problems,instal xrecovery and cwm,but wait for bootloader...some people work to break SE protection in newest kernel

And for root use fleshtool,and also instal xrecovery,after that instal cwm
And you can istal gb 2.3 Rom for stock kernel

Hi dude!
I recommend you to just root your phone, install xRecovery and flash a custom ROM.. Unlocking bootloader is not successful for everyone.. check the back of your phone, under the battery there is a code formatted like (ex.mine is 12W04)
If this code is under 11W29 so it's 11W28,11W27 etc you can unlock bootloader.. Else you will get a hardbrick as I did and then u must send ur phone to SE good luck

I was too curious about the unlocking bootloader thing and I tried it before reading the date on the back of my phone.. Actually I was pretty close, my date was 11W31 but still.. 11W29+ gets bricked soo I got hard brick, nothing worked,no screen no led no vibration.. Just a dead X8 xD
What a shame! My phone is 10w44, it's impossible to brick it

Thanks everyone for their answers!!! I'll stay around to see if someone comes up with a solution to the bootloader!!

Hey guys my cousin gave me his Xperia X8 to remove the SIMLOCK from. Its an Xperia X8. I found this guide however the programs included arent working for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436957
It says that the phone must have manufacturing code 11W28 and below and the Xperia X8 I have got it 11W22
It says run s1tool and click DO JOB. However the s1tool has been updated and when I click identify and connect Xperia X8 when turned off as well as pressing the back button nothing appears within S1Tool. So I cant continue the remaining steps.
The phone is not unlocked and runs stock SE Firmware.
FYI: I am trying to unlock the bootloader and then remove network lock. Im just saying this so you clever guys know what my objective is
Thanks in advance
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader on a network locked phone? I also have the X8 and apparantly I cannot unlock it's bootloader.
Yeah, its possible, you should try it

You can safely unlock the BL on yoyr phone. Here is what you have to do in order for S1tool to read your phone properly.
1. Install the Flash mode and ADB drivers for your phone. These drivers are bundled with Flashtool, just download and install Flashtool (link in dev section) and then go into the drivers folder and install. Then reboot your computer.
2. Turn off your phone. Then go into S1tool and click identify. Press and hold the back button while connecting your phone to the computer via USB cable. A green led light should appear to indicate that your phone has entered flash mode. S1tool should then start identification.

Hi guys, can somebody confirm that if I unlocked my phone by Omnius than if I unlock it with S1Tool then it will work? There are a lot of discussions about this on the net but it is not clear. On many sites written that I will lose the network signal or the radio if I do it...or the sim-lock will be restored again...So if somebody know this please write a clear answer for example:
Yes you can unlock it with S1Tool without any problem or
Yes you can unlock it with Omnius without any problem or
No because...
Thank you very much!

Hi, I unlocked the bootloader on my xperia t lt30p one time with intention to root it and install custom roms but never did as I nearly bricked it when putting a kernel on. I managed to put what I think is a stock kernel and rom back on, but I went to update it the other day and pc companion says that it could not complete the operation because the phone has been modified. I read somewhere that having the bootloader unlocked can cause this, so I wish to re lock it. Could anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial to do so? Cheers...

the link provided by our friend is quite good, that's where you have to head over
and about the tutorial, tha't so easy, just flash that FTF file via Flashtools
power off your phone, open flashtools, select flash logo, then FLASH MODE, then connect your phone as you are pressing down the VOLUME DOWN button, and let it do the rest
disconnect and enjoy your relocked bootloader
So I won't need to re flash the rom again? sorry. I'm a bit of a noob at phone modding. Pc's I can do. Not phones yet. Hahaha.
no, flash the relock ftf found in the dev section, and it just relocks your bootloader, your rom will stay the same

RElock won't affect you rom, BUT if you unlcok AGAIN, then at the very first start up of the phone when it is the first time after RE-UNlocking, it will have a factory reset
just wanted to let you know
but for now, NO, it won't touch your firmware
Just done it. Worked. Cheers guys,

Hey guys. So, I want unlock my bootloader, but I have maaaany questions.
This Xperia X8 was of my friend. He gave it to me. Time ago he tried to unlock the bootloader, it seemed to be successful, but he hardbricked the phone. Fortunately, the phone was under warranty, so he sent the phone at S.E . Now it is in my hands. :good:
First, I put custom roms. First, Froyo Pro, now I have MiniCM7. Now I want unlock the bootloader for a custom kernel.
I searched many threads, and I read this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693308
Do you think this is good? I know that unlock the bootloader is dangerous, but this procedure is a little bit more safe?
My friend had followed another tutorial, but I think he failed because he was on PrimeHD when he tried to unlock, and in the PC : No PCC companion.
I read that, I MUST HAVE stock rom and PCC Companion. Is this right? I have MiniCM, if I use PCC Companion, can I have the right stock rom?
It is possibly to unlock the bootloader , even if the phone was sent to S.E for repair?
Now, in the battery I read 11w15, and in the inside of the phone,
IC: 41708-A3880091 FYT 12W08
It is possibly to unlock?
If yes, anyway can someone give me support?
Thanks guys
DONT unlock it, you could end up again with a hard bricked X8
