Mine was locked too, and when i rooted it and installed cm7 all lock was gone.
I followed this guide

Good luck! :good:

I updated my phone using the option under the settings menu in About my phone and seems to be on 2.3.3 and look all my friends have rooted their phones but i got no clue if its even possible . Mabey im not such a noob or something but i would be really greatfull if anyoen could point me atleast to the right direction. Mabey some helpfull links to help a fellow noob
Is your phone sim locked?

Nope... Well not that i know of, because i got my phone from vodafone and once i inserted a sim card from another operator i made a few calls and i could recieve calls too without any problems.

Mine was from vodafone and wasnt sim locked either. Ok you have two choices for root. You can either unlock your bootloader (there are many downsides and advantages to this so you should research it) or downgrade to 2.3.2, root using gingerbreak then OTA update to latest version. That way you will not loose root while updating.

What OTA Update Means? And please can you give some links on how to downgrade and root it please?
And btw if i use the method of downgrading my phone first will i be able to flash custom ROMs?

Im on my phone so i can't really link. Look in the android development section, there is a thread all about rooting 2.3.3 with a locked bootloader. OTA means over the air. Basically thats when you download and install an update using just your phone.

No you need an unlocked bootloader to flash custom roms. But please read the pros and cons of unlocking your bootloader first. And understand what you can and can't do
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Ok mate just wanna say thanks a lot for your help and i really appreciate it. You really helped me out here. also just one more thing i need to know. By the looks of it the only cons in unlocking your bootloader seems to be that you will lose warranty and that your phone or your radio may get bricked which apparently can be fixed with restoring a backed up data using a program named omnius for se which i'm actually working on... however my only other concern is if there are any other disadvantages regarding the unblocking the bootloader that you happned to know of and be kind to share it with me Also just wanna say that i can see many tutorials as you said in the development section and i quite frankly i don't know which one applies to me since i realized one of the tutorials are for models with build number .184 where as mine is 3.0.1.a.0.145 AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHICH TUTORIAL TO FOLLOW. So i would be greatfull if you could lend me link to a right tutorial whenever you get free time on the PC
If all you want is root you can do that with a locked bootloader. You will have to downgrade to 2.3.2 (.184) then root then ota to get the latest firmware rooted. Follow the guide here. Or see this post i made here for easier instuctions on downgrading and rooting.
If you want to flash custom roms then you do need an unlocked bootloader like AndroHero has said. You dont need a specific guide to unlock your bootloader. Just go too the SE bootloader unlocking site (it gives you all the instructions you need) http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/. Then just flash doomlords kernel (which autoroots) or anything really from the development section (since i think anything can be rooted with one click with an unlocked bootloader) you will then have root and the ability to flash cutom roms.
Oh btw build number .184 = 2.3.2, build number 3.0.1.a.0.145 = 2.3.3 and build number 4.0.a = 2.3.3 (xloud version, the latest update)
+
If you unlock your bootloader OTA, Pc Companion + SEUS are off limits use any of them after unlocking your bootloader and you will brick your phone. Go to the dev section for the latest updates.

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.
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!

If this is out of the equation for the time being is the only option to pay for an unlock code online? If so what are the recommended sites, as I have been ripped off before.

It is very likely you could pay your operator to unlock it. About sites, I never used one so I won't recommend anything.
If you aren't in LG8 or LG6 firmwares you can still use Voodoo Unlock app from supercurio website: project-voodoo.org
I'm on xLite 1.4.0 XXLH1. I got my phone from Phones4U (UK) and I'm on Orange (UK) when I tried to sim unlock it gives me an error code when I try use x#XXXX# commands. Now when I swap it for my simcard with T-Mobile (UK) I can make calls etc but in my STATUS in ABOUT PHONE it doesn't display my phone number, it just displays 00000000000 and on the Orange it does display the number.
So really it is unlocked but not fully unlocked? I know you can't really get half and half but it seems like it in this case. I haven't tried the manual way of unlocking but I will at one point, just want advice.
---------
Edit: Just noticed that my firmware is higher than most. Will degrade and try app again but will still check back and follow advice from you all!

You are not making much sense, if you are asking if changing the ROM will block/unblock the IMEI number then no, it will not. IMEI number blocking is done at the mobile network level, not on the phone.

Stop spamming to get your post count up, especially with useless/confusing advice -_-
You would be better off looking at the GalaxSIM unlock app, as it does a better job than the Voodoo app.
XDA link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846451
To support the developer get his app from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock&hl=en
There are two apps for unlocking. Both require root, so you have to root or/and flash custom rom.
I recommend flasing stable ARHD with perseus kernel and your favorite theme (I used grey and black then AOSP theme).
you'd get a better answer if you asked I the right forum
