Use pc companium
Take battery out. Plug in usb to phone and pc. Then select repair phone and select your device and when it says connect your phone put battery back and keep pressing the back button until it connects

It didn't come out any 'repair phone' button. Why?

Trying x10 PCC. Hope it work. BTW is x10 slightly similar with x8? I'm kinda blur about this.

[Q] How to hard reset a x8?

how to hard reset the x8, without turning on the device?
because it is freezing at the boot screen ...
you need flash by Flash tool or seus (or PCC)
before this problem happened, I turned off the USB debugging, so neither option is viable
If you use seus/pcc/flashtool,they are no need USB debugging,so you can use these tools to fix your phone.
i´ve got the same problem.

Pachira > As zxc79 and samyeung97hk said, you must use PCC, SEUS or flashtool to unbrick your phone.
any links with any good instructions

The easiest way is use PCC/SEUS,they'll have all instructions.
If they can't help you to fix your phone,try to use flashtool.

Turn the power off. If your Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Left and right buttons located beneath the display
Press and release the Power button
Follow the on-screen instructions to hard reset your Xperia X8
What can i do please.. I didnt haved any applications on it, i only want to get back to Sony Ericson rom when i buyed it.. How can i ? please
my phone can't start
my x8 still won't start......
it still stuck on the rebooting logo........
it happen when i install the ansroid 2.2
when i restored the backu up file.........
it stuck on the sony logo........
it will be nice if i can start using my phone again.....
Try not to restore data if u flashing a new rom. Restoring data from different android version can cause such problem. Fresh install ur apps.
sent from my digital typewriter
I have same problem twice before this. (coz change custom rom )
I use SEPC. But ur battery must have atleast 50%.
If ur battery already 0% (can't on anymore), u must charge ur X8 by PC.
Becoz when u charge by charger, battery still 0%.
So, just plugin ur X8 at PC and wait 2-3 hour.
Then open SEPC and follow the step 1 by 1.
Just do this
Install pc companium
Take battery out of phone
Plug in usb cabel to pc and device
Then open pc companium select repair phone and wait to it says connect phone then put back battery, and hold back button until the install begin...
Dont forget to press thank button

Full Wipe
Did you guys try full wipe?
Use SEUS
I know this is an old thread, but I was able to solve this issue yesterday. My symptom: the phone wouldn't start. It didn't even get to the Sony Ericsson logo. The only thing it did when I pressed the on/off button was vibrate.
In this state, all other suggestions here don't work, because they need a working phone. Even SE's PC Companion needs a working phone.
The solution is Sony Ericssons Update Service (SEUS). This is tricky, because SEUS is not an official download for this phone. However, if you go the SE's site and search for software for another non-android phone, you'll find it. I used the W910 phone.
Install it and just follow the instructions on the screen (basically, with the phone off, connect it to the USB cable while pressing the back key). It will install the official 2.1 android! You'll have a restored phone ready for 2.3 and beyond!
I tried Sony Ericsson PC Companion when my phone was stuck on bootscreen. In my case, a small dialog box came up in the right lower part of the screen which said "Your X8 is connected".
If this doesn't work; open PC Companion, klick on "Uppgrade your phone". Then choose "Restore your phone". Then follow the onscreen progress and your phone will be reseted and should work normaly.
Of course the phone has Android 2.1
Firstly, read other forum's, @Denoo start a new thread.
The easiest way is to unlock with SEUS. How?
1. Download SEUS http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/mobilephones/downloads/subject/updateservice/elm?cc=hr&lc=hr (Click on download now, don't worry, it isn't just for Elm, it's for all phones)
2. Install & start SEUS and follow on-screen instructions - Turn off your phone, press and hold back button and put usb cabel in the phone (still pressing the back button), then when the download starts, stop pressing the back button.
3. When installation finishes, turn on your phone.
Note: On your phone is all data deleted after flashing this software. SEUS flashes original and clean firmwares, so you can still hold your warranty papers.
If SEUS update didn't work, then try flashing firmware with Flashtool. (Search in X8 Android development section this Guide).
Is der any easyer trik like nokia with trik 3 finggers .. ??

Use PCC to repair and restore your phone to original SE stock ROM!
1) Connect the phone to your PC
2) Start your PCC, find the "repair" option, follow the instructions
3) When asked to hold the "back" button and plug in the USB cable, just to it and it will flash the original ROM for you.
4) When finish, follow the instruction to unplug your phone and reboot
5) END OF THE STORY!
you will lose all your data!

Hi!
If you have battery drain, you should boot in xRecovery or CWM Recovery and wipe battery stats, so you dont have to get it to repairing. But, if thats not the problem
you need to repair it using PC Companion.
Follow these steps:
1. Start up PC Companion
2. Turn off Phone
3. Press Repair in PCC
4. Turn on phone, press&hold back button for awhile
5. Your phone should be recognized by the PC Companion no
6. Wait till the flashing finishes
7. Reboot & Enjoy
Take it
Please, let me know when you already have the file, to delete it (Dropbox gives limited space, as you know ).
Note: You'll need xRecovery to restore that backup.

Turning on the phone with "update" SEUS or flashing original ROM

Hello I have a problem ... I uploaded the ROM from XDA xRecovery over. Installation was fine. But after installation, you get to the menu moves xRecovery just boot the Sony Ericsson disappears and then appears on screen boot ROM installed, and there it freezes and I can wait as long as I want. When I want to fix it via SEUS phone by itself turns the same even FlashTools. I have Xperia X8. Please advise .. thanks

How? One could get into the menu xRecover: (... sorry my bad english
I guess you are upgrading from stock 2.1 and that you know get into recovery by pressing back button few times when SE logo shows on boot! If you can't enter recovery I'm afraid that your rom is not installed properly!

How do i do that? Sorry, im a newbie..
I think the pc companion cannot restore my phone since it cant recognize it. It starts up, then it shuts down after 3-4 secs
Also i dont see a back up and restore menu on my pc companion,

I would think that it would be the battery? give it a 10 minute charge and see if it starts
you do not need to turn your phone on for pccomapnaion to work.
Run pccompanion and run the software update and choose repair.
Only connect the phone when it prompts you

[Q] Xperia X8 hangs up at Sony Ericsson logo

Hello. This is my final resort. -.-
I used miniCM7-2.2.1. I've tried everything that has been suggested. My X8 hangs up on the Sony Ericsson logo and I cant access the xRecovery menu. To shut my phone down, I have to take out the battery, since it wont shut down when it hangs up no matter how long I hold the power button. Then I insert the battery again; but when I connect the USB cord, it starts up automatically and then hangs up again. I've tried flashing it but it wont detect in flash mode even if the led is green. so no luck on flashing. I tried SEUS but it says I already have the latest software installed so no luck in updating either. Somebody help! T.T
SUMMARY:
-Hangs up on logo screen
-Cant access xRecovery
-Doesnt detect flash mode (even when led is green)
-SEUS cant upgrade since latest software is installed
PLEASE HELP!
do you have pcc and x8 drivers installed? try rebooting your pc and attempt to flash again. you should be able to get into flash mode. also install gg drivers.
also, i can't quite remember, but doesn't minicm7 require a custom kernel?
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

only seus, pcc,or flashtool.. since you can't get into recovery.
i got it flashed. i figured i'd insert the battery after i plugged into pc. then i flashed it with a stock rom for e16i. worked like a charm. however, i still havent found the right custom rom yet. does anyone has any suggestions?
Dear bro,don't PANIC! its the only thing that makes us to create a bit useless threads..
try with Flashtool second time!
and if doesn't work use PC COMPANION its your best Companion
repair the X8 via PC COMPANION
- Turn off the phone, and unplug it from the PC !
- On your PC, uninstall Sony PC Companion
- Restart your PC
- On your PC, clean any Cache and Registry related to Sony PC Companion, then restart PC again.
- Reinstall Sony PC Companion by downloading it from here
- Turn on Sony PC Companion on your PC
- In Sony PC Companion, enter the Support Zone tab
- Go to Update Phone Software
A window will pop out, saying that it cannot find your phone
- Click on Fix Phone
- Click on Continue
A window will pop out, saying that you will lose all your data
- TICK the BOX
- Click on continue
An update process will began.
Wait for it to show a window with all the SONY mobile phones
- Find your phone (X8)
- Click on the phone.
Now all you have to do is follow the on-screen instructions. It will tell you to hold the back button and plug your turned-off X8 to the PC, then it will erase everything, and download the original 2.1 ROM to your X8.
If Sony PC Companion STILL doesn't recognize your X8, then, uninstall Sony PC Companion AGAIN, and start the above described process AGAIN. It WILL eventually work!

Well, I can tell you that I had a similar experience recently and I almost **** my pants. After having occupied the restroom, PCC worked for me absolutely perfectly, albeit I did have some problems installing the necessary drivers (had to do it from a different machine, obviously something in the registry was messed up).
Seeing you solved the problem, I recommend you install either a 2.2 or 2.3 ROM. Don't go for 4.x ones if you're up for normal use because they are way too strong for this little device (kudos to the developers who made these ROMs happen, though).
My recommendations:
2.2 - FroyoPro v2.5
2.3 - GingerDX v031b
Both work really well with custom kernels, and are very fast and stable.
My X8 has also the same problem, It hangs up in the logo screen and I cant go into the Flashmode, If I can only go into the Flashmode I have already fixed it, but my X8 opens up every time I plug it in my computer. Can anyone help me with this problem?

OK,assuming you have probably root the phone, by the way can you managed to go into recovery mode in your phone? If so, then just copy your rom zip files into the SD card and install zip files from SD card in the recovery mode. By the which Rom and Recovery you are using?

you use flashtool to unbrick your phone? if you use it and can't flash your phone, you have to install flashtool-drivers.exe in drivers folder. everything'll work well.good luck
