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!
Omnius team"

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..

CM7 or vanilla android

Is there a CM7 or vanilla android rom for locked bootloaders?

cm7 no, and that'll never happen. Any custom rom that requires a different kernel will not work on a locked bootloader. That being said, there are some roms that will work on locked bootloaders but are few and far between. I'd suggest using the search button

Quit being a wimp and unlock your bootloader. You won't regret it.

Haha, lets try not to call anyone a wimp!

The best rom on a locked bootloader currently has the be Gin2JellyBean. It should be on the first page on the development section.

I want to unlock it but I dont have a credit card to use omnius

Unlocking bootloader 11W29+? (UN)Useful thread

I know we already have a lot of threads about unlocking bootloader but I've made this one to resolve our/mine doubts on is it possible to unlock bootloader on 11w29+ (don't count 11W33-34)
We have several tools,but which one can unlock 11w29+?

Which one can unlock 11w29+???
In this thread we can see that one of XDA member/owner of X8 hard bricked it using paid unlcoking method from WOTANSERVER but also a 2 oher members which have successfuly unlocked 11w29+ with the same method,WOTANSERVER.....
According to Plasma Tool developer,that program will unlock every bootloader which have date code 11Wxx...
Please,all of you who have tried these tools and methods to reply with answer on Have you managed to unlock 11w29+ and HOW
Thanks and I apologize for creating another thread about this....

I managed to unlock mine with 11w38 simply with the help of flash tools..
Yeah but I did read all the instructions carefully before and while unlocking the bootloader..

some said it's all matters with one's LUCK to successfully unlock 11W29+ .. but how come it is real.,,,,,, for example if someone successfully unlock his BL with 11W33 and then relock it . is there gonna be a chance of hardbricked if he unlock his BL again???...

[VIDEO] How to get full ROOT on bootloader locked Xperia Z1 [ANDROID 4.4.2]

Here is a video guide on how to get full root on bootloader locked Android 4.4.2 Sony Xperia Z1.
This will now work on model versions C6902/C6903/C6906/C6943
This video tutorial is based on method designated by xda-member @Nut (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4904057), so don't forget to thank him and donate if you can.

At the moment, I think that the only solution would be to backup apps and games is using an app called Helium. As far as I know that is the only working solution available on the market. Users have reported that the free version does not always work properly and that the safest would be to use the 5$ premium version of the app and to backup to a cloud storage, so I would recommend buying the premium app. Here is a link to the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup.license&hl=en
You can backup your photos by either choosing cloud synching in Google+, Dropbox or any alternative storage or by transferring them over to your computer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dropbox.android&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.plus&hl=en
Don't forget to backup your text messages as well. The following app works well:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en
And also any saved wifi networks using the following app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryanamaral.wifi.passwords&hl=en

This guide is for rooting your phone, not for unlocking the bootloader. There are already a few threads on how to unlock so you should check there. Check the stickies.

Yes you can unlock your BL and keep your camera with this rooted fw. But you can do that even on a non rooted .290.
