[Q] Unlock Xperia X8 via Data Cable

Hi guys, my doubt is the following:
I have unlocked bootloader but I want to unlock the "network lock" so my X8 can use any operator but I don't know what happens with my bootloader, it locks again? Thanks in advance
Look at the image below to see clearly what I'm talking about

If you have unloceked bootloader, then you should have sim unlock too. Look at that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

What are you talking about? That thread actually says bootloader unlock does not sim unlock the phone.

Calm down, NIMBAH - there are always people who fail to understand what a particular guide is all about (or not).
EDIT: @OP
Your other chance, which may be the better solution, is to SIM unlock through an EMMA/IMEI code. There are some sites on the net offering this kind of service.

Then, unlocking via EMMA/IMEI code my boootloader won't suffer any change, right?

No, your boot loader won't suffer changes ... the one has not really anything to do with the other.
The only relevant thing is at boot loader unlock - there's a scenario (read the guide in the development section!) where the original SIM lock could return, but that entirely depends on how the phone got SIM unlocked in the first place.

I unlocked bootloader and it unlocked my phone, and now i can use any sim card (t-mobile, vip.....)

Unlock Xperia X8
Please tell us how do you get it.
I have an Xperia X8 and I finalised the year, so I can ask to my operator to unlock the phone. The problem is that I have modified the original system (Android 1.6) the actual system is Android 2.3 (MiniCM 7-2.2) and I supose the operator will rejected to unlock my phone.

in my opinion should take. and as pujdzie something wrong, and so it can upload the unlocked bootloader 2.1 stock under flashtool and then bootladera lock without restoring your stock. And then you can return to normal rom coustom

Please help in regards to unlocked at&t htc one

like I am buyting at&t htc one but seller said its unlocked just by codes given by at&t itself (as the seller is stating) and he says nothing else like rooting or bootloader unlocked is not done on it . But I will check if he is true or lieing as he is not telling me if its bootloader unlocked too . So just tell me this that if its (only) bootloader unlocked then I will see s-off instead of s-on ??? or I can still see s-on even if the device is just bootloader unlocked ,,,,,
how to check that its not bootloader unlocked ?! and I will surely get future updates ?! From where it will get the future updates ? like by htc server or still by at&t ?

See attachment below.
If when you boot into your bootloader, power off your phone then press and hold Volume down and the power button, and either "TAMPERED" or "UNLOCKED" are shown, then the seller unlocked to bootloader. However, I don't think that stops your OTA updates from AT&T. Unlocking the bootloader only voids AT&T's warranty of the phone. Make sure Fastboot in the power options is unchecked before trying to boot into your bootloader.

[Q] Bad Camera on VZW Moto X?

Hello all! I have a situation and I'll just break it down into a list rather than trying to write it out.
Retail Moto X on Verizon, about 1 month old
Front facing camera never worked (purple static/noise when app is launched, then crashes "Camera error")
Unlocked bootloader (with the annoying warning screen at boot)
Same results with camera
Installed CM10.2 and Liquid Smooth ROMs
Same results with camera
Did a factory reset with VZW_XT1060_4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.25.2_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
Same results with camera
Tried locking the bootloader in hopes of returning the Moto X for repairs
Boot warning remains
So, some questions.
Is it possible to remove the bootloader warning on a retail VZW Moto X? I tried the steps listed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/noob-guide-unroot-relock-bootloader-vzw-t2571786 with no change in the boot screen.
Anyone else think this is definitely hardware failure?
Is there a right way to handle getting this fixed?
P.S. It's my wife's phone. Certainly earned myself some brownie points by unlocking the phone without thinking about the camera issue.

If its a retail Verizon X and you unlocked the bootloader, you've voided your warranty.
In the bootloader/fastboot screen, it tell you the status is Unlocked Status code:3. If you relock the bootloader via the mfastboot oem lock command, the status will change to RELOCKED. We can't set it to LOCKED. The LOGO.BIN will display the UNLOCKED warning when your bootloader status is either unlocked or relocked
If Verizon or Moto sees this, you will be denied warranty service. Will they really check? I don't know.
As for the bootloader unlocked warning on boot... see -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-Bootlogo.htm which is based on this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/moto-x-boot-logos-t2417961

These images are an example of what I get right after a factory reset.

Contacted Motorola Support via their chat service. They have offered to replace the device. Hope they don't end up charging us for the phone when they get this one back to the factory.

Is it a developer edition? Dev editions can be unlocked & maintain warranty.
If it's a motomaker version, then yes they will probably charge you once they get the phone & see that it is unlocked. Once you unlock a non-dev edition, you lose your warranty.

am I capable of Rooting and do I need to unlock my boot loader?

This is my first Moto device and I'm not familiar with how to root these. All I know is its a Moto X Verizon exclusive (pig skin edition), I know the SIM is unlocked because I'm using it on At&t. If someone could help me by shooting me the proper links to a tutorial specific to this model phone I would seriously appreciate it. Thanks.

You cannot root it or unlock its bootloader, unfortunately. In the States only the Pure Edition can be unlocked and rooted. Also, it'll likely be a VERY long time until your model gets rooted if it ever does, and if I was a betting man, I'd go all in on its bootloader never getting unlocked. In other words, learn to love it stock because that's probably how it's going to stay.

US Cellular XT1093 can be unlocked, and does Sprint have it yet? If so, it's unlockable. I prefer to say "All variants except Verizon and ATT are unlockable" rather than "Only Pure Edition can be unlocked in the US". Plus it's less words (by one lol).

You're right, my bad. I keep forgetting that USC has it too. Not sure about Sprint.

Is this phone bootloader locked or unlocked?

Hi friends. I bought a refurbished pixel 4 xl from amazon. developer options as seen in the picture. The device seems to be not OEM unlocked. but when I contacted verizon, they checked the imei and said that the device is unlocked.
The question I want to ask is: Can I root this device? Or can I install different roms?

Your bootloader is locked, therefore you cannot root or install any custom roms. Verizon was referring to it being carrier unlocked, not bootloader unlocked.

Hey!
Using the easy way to root and install roms you can't. BUT I am working on a way to unlock any pixel, even if it is bootloader locked.
I am quite busy right now but I expect to have more free time on July to work on this project. If you are interested just have look on my profile.
Also, to increase the chances of success, don't install any OS Software updates.

Hey!
Yes the project is live and still going, though slower than what I would like... Any help is welcome

Generally, carrier CSR's (customer service representatives) won't know what a bootloader lock is, so when Verizon tells you it's unlocked, they're talking about the carrier lock - meaning it isn't locked to their network and can be used on other networks.
I believe there is a way to determine whether this was a carrier specific device via the IMEI, but I don't have that information on hand.
There's a couple things you can try to see if you can get OEM Unlock to become available:
Let the device sit while connected to the Internet to see if OEM Unlock becomes available.
Factory reset the device WITHOUT a SIM, do not connect to a WiFi network, and complete basic setup. Enable Developer Options and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, manually change the time ahead one week.
If neither of these work, you probably won't be able to unlock the bootloader, and should seek a replacement from Amazon. They don't know the difference - to them, a phone is a phone is a phone, so as far as they're concerned, a former Verizon device is exactly the same as a global Google unlocked device.
