Root & Bootloader - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I want to know what is the difference between the Root and the Unlocking of the BootLoader.

Root is gaining acess to system files.unlocking bootloader means that you can switch to other kernels.

Ok, so in order to install the MiniCM and a kernel I have to Unlock the BootLoader :S it looks quite hard and I think that my settings aren't compatibles

Don't unlock the bootloader without reading the warnings!! READ this first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436924 after you have checked to see if your bootloader can be unlocked read this and ONLY if it can be unlocked read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225. I could root your phone in a few seconds. If you need my help send me a message. I have done this A LOT!!

Rooting

Hi I am a training dev from the HTC hero forum and I have had to have a replacement as my hero exploded (0mg) my new phone is the x8 and so far so good but can anyone help me so I can start runing ics and start developing for this phone
How do I root this as universal androot don't work
What next thanks
That's all folks.
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
I used superoneclick for rooting. If you want ics, you need an unlocked bootloader. As for the x8, you can safely unlock your bootloader if you manufacturing date is 11w28 and below.
Sent from my rooted tomato using xda app
Use this X8 Toolbox to root the phone.
If you want to unlock the bootloader, read this or this. But don't forget to check the manufacturing date under the battery, if it's below 11W29 you can unlock your BL. If your phone's manufacture date is 11W29 or past 11W29, you shouldn't try it.
I have a immovable boot loader and its now rooted thanks but the unlocking of bl looks kind of difficult and I cant dl the files

Install Tor Browser Bundle and try again..
Normally we just use FlashTool to root, unlock bootloader & install kernels etc.. Saves using loads of different apps to accomplish the same result..
