and by the way, can i unlock my bootloader even tough my sim is locked?
OC GPU means that you overclock the Graphics Processing Unit of your phone (Adreno 200). This means faster graphics loading and other good stuff mainly to do with gaming.OT: what exactly is gpu overclock? and we have fast roms right now so unlocking bootloader is not necessary right? plus unlocking it will not enable synaptics to have real DT
No. The max OC frequency depends on the voltage supplied to the CPU, which is different for each phone. This won't result in a better OC of CPU but OC of GPU is now possible .Stupid question...with unlocked bl can be done a better oc of the CPU?So we can oc until 800mhz?Or is just a dream?
I think the most problem of the X8 is the ram,maybe with a swap solution can be solved...and this 49€ was payed with success

I have a question too!!! If we unlock the bootloader we will be able to make a make a module or something that will accept us to use the sd card to increase the ram of our device??? Something like ReadyBoost of windows!!!

the_laser in the bootloader unlock thread said:unlocked bootloader require unlocked loader, yep ?
loader\loader.sin is special unlocked loader, which will be accepted ONLY after your "unlock" semcboot with previous steps.
to distinguish unlocked semcboot and original semcboot, first letter in version tag of semcboot output will be lower case, i. e. "r8A029"

Basically this is just a mini tutorial for those wanting to unlock their bootloaders.
Requirements: Rooted X8, X8 drivers, Courage
Recommended: Use stock rom
Note: Unlocking the bootloader of your phone will restore the sim lock of your phone! (if any)
1. Download the files needed for the unlock at the bootloader unlocked thread.
Link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17338716&postcount=300
2. Unzip the files into an appropiate location on your PC.
3. Connect your phone to your computer.
4. Enable USB debugging on your phone.
5. This step will vary depending on whether you have sim unlocked your phone. If yes, jump to step 5a.
If no, run xxxxsemc.exe in the directory you unzipped the unlocking files to and press any key to start the unlocking process. At the same time, open the example log included in the files. Wait 5 minutes. Then, compare the text in the command window to those in the example log. They should be similar. Also, the last message on the command window should be Press any key to continue.
5a. If you sim unlocked your phone using anything other than SEtool, you can't unlock your bootloader for now . If you sim unlocked your phone with SEtool, then run xxxxsetool2.exe in the directory you unzipped the unlocking files to and continue reading from where you left off at step 5.
6. Disconnect your phone from the PC. Congratulations, your X8 is now bootloader unlocked!
