Hi. I want to flash Alfs kernel so I must first unlock the bootloader.
Just one tiny question...
I am using GingerDX v021. Do I have to revert to 2.1 to unlock bootloader?
Thanks very much!

Some people said that its ok to not go back to 2.1. But if u r not a risk taker,just go back to 2.1

Its up to you, mine got bricked while flashing a new kernel after i unlocked in gingerxperia (2.3.7)
however when i did everything again while on 2.1 it did work
tried few times unlocking the bootloader other than 2.1 and always failed..
from my own experience 2.1 has better chance of succeed.
Do I have to use stock 2.1 or it's also okay with customized 2.1?

what do u mean by customized? installing themes, launcher, etc? as long as you customize the original rom i think it will be ok.
If you're not sure it's better to download the original stock room.
Cos if it is stock,where do i get the link?

I mean roms with 2.1 but with more features or something.

You can unlock bootloader of W8 with Flash Tool.I have unlocked BL of my W8 successfully.If not detected automatically, you have to select your device as E15i.

What is the condition now? you can select your device in PCC and attempt repair. You can get back to stock kernel and ROM.

Install cwm recovery
Place rom in your sd card
Reboot phone
While sony ericsson logo show on your screen click back button like crazy many time
Then go to install zip from sdcard
Find rom and install it

There are quite good and detailed instructions about it
Sent with the help of my phalanges!!!!
there is lots of ways to put x recovery on youtube using root explorer ect, but if you want cwm recovery there is a cwm auto installer on the market, dont forget to make a backup tho
I think it's easier to install xrecovery. You just need root explorer or something similar. And don't forget to do a full wipe right after installing the rom.

better to install gingerdx ... it works on locked bootloader...

Just to be clear any rom needs open bootloader, it needs custom kernel. To flash custom kernel u need open bootloader.
But yeah my money is on GingerDX...
PrimeHD, used it once for a week, so many deem bugs....
I think atifroyo 5.2 is best Cm6 rom and best gingerbread rom is for me primehd 8 this is mine opinion.

Hello everyone
I have an Xperia W8 (X8) which has a manufacture date of 11W44. All I wanted that I wanted to unlock bootloader so that I could install the nAa kernel and then install the ICS rom.
But the guides say that my mfd. date should be before 11W29 :crying:
What should I do? I checked many forums and threads but nothing is matching my problem.
Please help!
THERE IS A SCREENSHOT OF THE "About Phone" OPTION IN SETTINGS
__________________________________________________
Phone info.
Xperia W8 11W44 (rooted)
Bootloader: most probably locked (idk actually)
ROM: kuyaDROID
Kernel: Stock (because my bootloader is locked )
There is some paid method. Please search

No ics for stock kernel. The only way is to pay for it. Or, risk it. I guess it's safe to say you have 90+% chance of hard brick if you try. Not worth it

Yes, we have an ics for stock. But its laggy and buggy.
Though there are many time for stock kernel

Under my battery, it clearly says 11w40, and it's been told to me that you can unlock the bootloader with the number up to 29. Since my X8 is stuck on Eclair, and I hate that, is there a possible way to get a custom ROM, with 11w40?

Its not necessary to unlock bootloader for a custom rom
first root your phone then install recovery
search for a rom for stock kernel and install it
You can use custom roms but you need those that tell "(for) stock kernel"

HI, I am using W8 Walkman 11W30 and wanted to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER. I Iooked out many guides for how to unlock my bootloader and all say that 11W29+ cannot do it.
I rooted my phone and installed CM7 rom GingerDX V030 seamlessly having a stock kernel using CWM.
When I dial *#*#7378423#*#* it does nothing and the number vanishes instantly when i dial the last letter "*"
When i bought my phone it did'nt have a SIM lock.
I am confused if my phone's bootloader is locked or unlocked.
One more thing....when i use s1tool (by the_laser) and press IDENTIFY button it recognise my device....and says SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE.
Is it possible to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER for my W8 Walkman 11W30?

you should have read through the stickies first. it's probably a hard brick. but try to charge it for a few minutes and see if it boots or shows any signs of life. if not, sorry.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Oh.i got brick my phone.
