Exactly! ANyone know the answer?

No matter you want it really bad, dont unlock your bootloader, unless you know what are you doing is right.
Go to development section anyway.

Is there any way to sim unlock the X8 with an unlocked bootloader?

you have no network and not recognized sim, yes?
i had this problem too, when unlocked bootloader. yes there is a way to unlock sim. Unlock bootloader once again and it should fix. I tried this and this worked. Try this.

Omnius 4 day promo period starting tonight!

I got an email from omnius support , following :
"The bootloader is unlocked automatically during the unlock of S1 QSD8250 and S1 MSM7227 phones
Added explicit menu option for unlocking bootloader of S1 QD8250/MSM7227/MSM8x55(T) phones.
It does almost the same as the network unlock operation.
Once you have an unlocked bootloader, you may freely reflash the phone without any limitations" .
And for promo period :
"4 days promotion period is coming: All Omnius's features are going to be for free.
When? During Easter: since 6th April 2012, 00:00 UTC until 9th April 2012, 23:59 UTC.
All you need is to have any Omnius account (no license or credit will be required). For those who still don't have it, you can register on this website to get one.
Prepare your android phones and help us spread this news around the Globe.
Enjoy!

Does this work for removing simlock? And, if it does, is there any risk of doing so if I already unlocked bootloader?

yes,bootloader is locked,and no unlock again..

Unlock bootloader for a 11w41

Well today i was trying to install a custom rom to my friend's phone, i rooted the phone, installed CWM, and i tried to install CM7, but it gave me error, so i rebooted the phone, and it turned on normally, so i researched a little more and i saw that i had to unlock bootloader and update other things, i didnt know this because i have a galaxy 5 and you just have to root, install CWM and you are ready, so i tried to unlock boorloader to the x8, i executed msm7227 and there were some errors but at the end it said that everything was done, so i pressed a button from the phone, but nothing happened, so i tried to turn it on, but nothing happened, i pull off the battery and pull it on again but nothing, i tried everything so i realized it was hardbricked, now my friend is going to claim his warranty.
I told him that i never was going to touch his phone again xd, but maybe someday he will want me to install a custom rom on his phone, so my question is if there is someway to unlock bootloader, to a new phone, he may recieve a new one, so obviously is going to have a newer date, is there someway?

you have to install roms for STOCK kernel, no need to unlock bootloader, but i think its too late now lol.

Keep trying with PC Companion!! And why you people unlock bootloader with msm7227??? When I unlocked with it, I have a lot of problems with signal,SIM card and s*it like that, so I try with flashtool and yes,everythings is good!

Simple.
Flashtool = Safe but inflexible (in the name of safety they prevent you from unlocking BL with certain settings that sometimes really don't matter)
MSM7227_tool.exe is much more flexible, no restrictions, and IS AS SAFE as flashtool provided you read the guides properly and executed their instructions properly.
I might want to point out that Flashtool's BL unlock came directly from the MSM7227 BL unlock tools.

i didn't know that. hm.. so when i decide to try to unlock my bootloader, would you recommend using MSM7227_tool.exe over flashtool? i've only used flashtool for getting out of softbricks. is it more complicated than unlocking with flashtool?
btw i have 11w48 so im prbably getting 99% hardbrick. lol. i'm just saving for a new phone before i take that plunge into the abyss.

Er... I recommend you don't unlock BL, but if you must, Flashtool is less complicated to understand how to use, MSM tool is more flexible (doesn't force you to stock 2.1 before it unlocks BL ).
Both are basically one-click anyway.

Yeah, MSM will allow you to unlock regardless of os version, but Flashtool has some restrictions for safety's sake (though most are not needed).

Unlock bootloader 11w30+ 100% assured read

Hello friends,
Are you one of those guys who are pissed of that they can't unlock their bootloader because of the stupid manufacturing date?
Well be pissed of no more because that is solved!
I was scrolling around the internet and I came across this guy!
http://unlock-bootloader.com/
Alejandrissimo is what he would like be addressed as.
Basically this guy unlocks your bootloader for only 24 usd assured 100%. He has over countless pages of testimonials (there was even one person that unlocked 11w40) and i am a 12w user and I just unlocked mine and I am happy as hell!
Basically this guy expects you to download his files which is on the website and have a paper clip just incase.
There is NO EFFORT to it WHAT SO EVER even my grandma could do it and she doesn't even speak english!
What you will have to do is just be connecting your phone back and forth to the usb and having to click back button multiple times but in the end it all pays of =D
You will also need to revert back to stock firmware 2.1 and you basically I was on GDX 2.3.7 and I lost EVERYTHING but i'm actually happy cause I backed up my aps and I get to do this anew with no more mistakes
So? What are you waiting for? Those kernels aren't gonna install themselves =P
If you need any questions I'll answer them i've personally went through this so have fun!

I came across that guy aswell.. even contacted him once and he actually replied. But I bricked my phone few days before that one so he couldnt help me. The problem is the money :SS.. dont you think thats a little bit too much just to unlock the bootloader?

People who want to risk please try to unlock bootloader with flashtool!"
Because I thikn people who get hard brick with 11W29+ use msm7227 tool!:silly:

You think wrong. Flashtool just automates the process and simplifies it, it still uses the original msm7227 files provided by the_laser. Both are as safe, but Flashtool is more noob-friendly and reduces the chance of human error.
Also, hard brick on 11W29+ devices is caused by revamped chipset that fixes the security hole that the original BL unlock uses. This means, the phone will effectively have no bootloader after BL unlock on fixed chipset devices and thus the phone is now a hard brick.

When I unlock bootloader with msm7227 i lost mobile signal,phone says that SIM card isn't inserted. Then I give up and relock bootloader after one month I discover that I can unlock bootloader with flashtool. Now I'm really happy with unlocked bootloader and working SIM card!

Lol don't blame the tool if human error led to you having sim card issues, sounds like you used the wrong file to me . As I said, flashtool reduces the occurrence of human error as it automates everything, but it is a little strict IMO.

I bricked it before when I had the 11Wsomething . Then they changed my motherboard that was 10W51..

I unlock 2 times with msm7227 tool--> no signal and my 3 friends from SLOVENIA have the same problem. I relock and try with flashtool, all my friends and me are now happy with unlocked bootloader,great signal.

The succesa rate is 100%? And how do you pay him? Paypal? Tempting.
But I'l wait til at least few guys here in xda try it succeed.

Where are the payment details and process? Only PayPal or..?

Actually, setool can unlock bootloader with any manufacturing date...be it 11w40 or 12w**...
So why do you have to pay for a guy when there is a tool to do it?
It has the same point, you pay for the guy or you buy setool credits..and setool is more reliable coz its created by the same person who made it possible to unlock our bootloader for 11w26 downwards..

setool? or s1tool?

Listen,
You guys can do whatever you want with your phone fine by me but I was assured NOT to unlock my bootloader if it was manufactured after the dates of 11w30+ so I wouldn't really risk trying out ANYTHING except for this guy.
He has numerous testominals and in my opinion if you want to keep going with your phone for people who can't unlock their bootloader this is what you need =D
So it's all up to you in the end. This guy is guaranteed 100% he just lacks to reply sometimes for queries but when you say your going to co operate with him he will reply to any query whilst doing it. So in my honest opinion the 24 bucks was worth it.
Have fun guys

Trying to bypass LBL

Bagyusz needs a volunteer who has a phone with locked BL, but can unlock it.
Does anybody can help him?
If you have a phone with "Bootloader unlock allowed: yes" status and going to unlock the BL please write a post!
We will provide 2 simple ADB commands which you have to run and send him the result.
The commands doesn't harm your phone.

What if someone locks his /her bootloader and then run the commands, will it be same?
