You must download flash tool, download the correct baseband first (xx15), put the baseband file in the folder FIRMWARE, run the program and follow the instructions.

Nowadays i'm using GingerCruzt revision 8.4 with stock kernel, pretty good for me!
Everytime i flash my w8 e16i baseband to .15 it remains the same and when i open the pcc it recommends me to update to latest software but my software is already the latest pls HELP ME....
try to reflash baseband 015
Hi, I'm new in this forum, this is my first post, sorry for my english, i'm working on it, so, expect some bad errors...
Unfortunately it seems to be that my phone has been bricked... From the beginning i used the custom rom Ginger DX with stock kernel, then I decided to change and test the MiniCM of Nobodyatall. So, the first thing I decided to do was change the stock kernel to the custom kernel of naA (naa-08b), then I tried it with Ginger dx, after confirming that the rom and the kernel work, I decided to change the rom to MiniCM. with horrible results, I noticed that the phone did not pass the logo screen of the brand (Sony Ericsson), this means that the bootloader does not work no longer, that makes it impossible for me to change the ROM, thinking that perhaps the kernel generates me all this problem, I decided to change it back to the stock kernel, but without good results ...
I dont know what to do!
things that i noted while i was installing the custom rom:
-it said that i've didin't installed the naA kernel, wich it's not true, because before Install the MiniCM, i've flashed the cellphone with Flashtool, to install the custom kernel (which it worked for me, using gingerDX), so , maybe i didn't installed it right, or even it was never installed, i really don't know...
Please help! thanks a lot for your attention and any kind of help would be awesome...

Wrong! If you still see the Sony Ericsson logo this means your Bootloader and Kernel is still intact. If this wouldn't be the case you would have a hard brick (no lights, no vibration, no screen) on your hands.
To get your phone back into a working state ...
Flash back the ORIGINAL 015 BASEBAND (also includes the Stock Kernel)!
Baseband 015 for the X8 E15i (Flashtool FTF)
Baseband 015 for the X8 E15a (Flashtool FTF)
Do NOT Flash the wrong baseband - otherwise you may have problems connecting to the mobile network.
RELOCK the BOOTLOADER!
Do NOT miss out on the two steps above!
Flash back to Stock and go again from there
Hey! Thank a lot for the answer! It was very fast
so, if my phone is not bricked, that means that it can be fixed! thanx alot... what a relief, i was very scared!
okay, the thing that i've done right now, it's the downgrade of the baseband from 015 to 006 (my model is the E15a)... i noticed that , it's a wong step.. do i have to flash again to the original baseband 015?... i've downgrade it because my idea was to get the phone to the original baseband a kernel that it had when I purchased it, so the next step was, with PC Companion, repair the rom, to get de original one (2.1), the problem is that the pc companion didn't fix the issue because i't said something like " there is no update for your phone"... so, I'm at the beginning of the problem ... again ... :S
in another thread i saw this post made by you...

Yes, you need to flash the 015 baseband ... 006 is outdated and does NOT work with any custom ROM you may find around here in the Developer section.

The 006 Baseband (and possibly some 2.0 or 2.1 Stock ROM) may have been the default at the time you bought the phone, but meanwhile the latest ones are Baseband 015 / Stock 2.1.1.C.0.0 (X8 E15a/i) and Baseband 015 / Stock 2.1.1.A.0.46 (W8 E16a/i <-- is there actually such a thing as a E16i? Never saw one). EDIT: Don't expect to see any more updates from Sony Ericsson, the software update support for the W8/X8 phone is already discontinued for quite some time.
Anyhow, the "There is no update" message is a result of your alterations. Once you're running a custom Kernel or trying to restore from a soft-brick situation where there's still a custom ROM in the NAND (the Flash memory) PCC will most likely tell you to take a hike as it fails to correctly identify the phone (hence why I said "forget PCC/SEUS" in the post you refer to below). EDIT: Let me rephrase: "...as it fails to correctly identify the software installed on the phone as it's not a genuine Stock ROM, or Kernel"

It's the same thing I wrote up on my (still at being populated with content due to lack of time) droppage site ... the post on my droppage is just a somewhat rewritten version of the forum post to iron out things I missed to consider.
Both posts should work for you once you flashed back to Stock Baseband/Kernel and relocked the bootloader.
last question,(just to be secure of what i am going to do) how do i know if my phone has an unlocked bootloader? the only thing that i remember that i've changed on the phone it's the baseband, install xrecovery and clockwork mod, also the roms... i dont remember anything about unlock the bootloader...

At least you wrote in your first post that you installed nobodyAtall's nAa Kernel - which requires you to unlock the bootloader; otherwise MiniCM7 doesn't boot up... ... ... ... wait a sec ...
On a second thought ... could THAT be the reason why you're stuck at the SE Logo? You didn't unlock the boot loader, you didn't flash the required kernel for MiniCM7 but you actually flashed the MiniCM7 ROM and therefore managed to soft-brick?
About the question: See this thread. There's also a section about how you can tell if your boot loader is unlocked or not.
If the thread looks awfully familiar to you then you already dealt with boot loader unlocking. If that thread is news to you then you made a bad boo-boo along the way.
HAahajajaajaajahaja... Oh my gosh... that's totally not the answer that i was looking for... now i'm thinking "what the f*** did i done with my cellphone?", i feel really dumb right now, it's so much easier install custom roms with the stock kernel, but, well.. sometime's that's the way to learn new things, just messing up BADLY the things...
Oh god, well, this soft brick it's a huge pain in the ass.. so.. let's see...
i just wanna fix the phone, so, which are the best and safest way to fix it, considering that i've didin't unlock the bootloader? i dont wanna use the MiniCM7, i just wanna see the xrecovery to install any rom that work with the stock kernel, (or at least, anything that can keep running my cellphone...)
By the way... THANKS A LOT FOR HELP ME, right now, you are the only person who helped me , without your help, I would be totally crazy, hysterical, and angry ... even though my phone is not repaired (yet), you had helped a lot, sincerely, thank you very much!

This wasn't meant to make you feel dumb or bad ... the idea that you may have missed to unlock the boot loader and install the required Kernel just jumped into my mind while I typed the reply.
Let me tell you this to make you feel better ... if you look around in the "Q&A" board here you will notice that you're not the only one who managed to soft-brick while trying to install MiniCM7.

Well, if you really managed to downgrade the baseband to 006 then you need to upgrade it to 015 again FIRST (the 2.1.1.C.0.0 Flashtool ROM image needs baseband 015 ... only the older 2.1.1.A.0.0 stock ROM would also boot on 006).
You can find the baseband FTF either here in the X8 Development board ... or simply go to my droppage and click the "Downloads" tab ... the baseband FTF's for the X8 E15a and X8 E15i are for download there.
Once you verified that you're running the right baseband simply continue with the "Flash back to Stock" guide (Post #2 above) to pull your phone back out of Valhalla.

Before you do anything else, you need to update your phone using PC Companion (download here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/supp...x8?cc=us&lc=en). PC Companion will guide you right through all the steps for updating.
The latest version is 2.1.1.A.0.6, and the latest baseband is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015.
You can check your version by going to Settings -> About Phone.
If you are already running a custom ROM, you should update using PC Companion too, because some roms (like MiniCM) need the latest official version.
If you need basebands for your X8, here's a helpful thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
Flash them with FlashTool.

That's not entirely correct ...
The latest ROM version for the X8 is 2.1.1.C.0.0 and there's a FTF image for Flashtool flashing.
The latest ROM version for the W8 (and that's tohno's phone) is 2.1.1.A.0.53(?) .54(?) and there's no Flashtool FTF around. The best thing you can find is a 2.1.1.A.0.46 xRecovery backup. I once found the latest W8 ROM image (FTF) by Google on some Malyasian? Chinese? websites where one needs some program to download plus a login to the site distroing the file (looks like Share or PerfectDark or something along that line).
lol ..that is too advanced for me
I've got SE W8(E16i), with locked bootloader (not unlocked coz it date is 11W37). I rooted the device, installed busybox and xRecovery. Then I flashed the Rom GingerDX v029 using xRecovery and done a full wipe. Then after reboot my cell is stuck at Sony Ericsson Logo.
I have also tried flashing the rom using CWM and also a stock kernel over it but the result was same....
I dont want to get stucked with this Stock 2.1 update 1 firmware. It really sucks.
Firmware version 2.1-update 1
Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel Version: 2.6.29

Dude check ur download again. There are more than 5 links on the thread, make sure u downloaded v29 for stock kernel and not the one for ccustom kernel. Always full wipe when installing new rom to.prevent bootloop too
Hit thanks if it helps now just repair it using Sony mmobile update service and try agn
U can try with other stock rom
E.g. Fde+4, kuyadroid 4.5.4, froyopro 2.5
Try thier working but before that make sure that u have arranged all for recovering soft brick. My mean flashtool and .tft file

hi guys, i have some issues during installation process. when i try to install any ROM it just dont accept it. ive followed exact instructions and checked for my version, baseband, rooted, installed xrecovery, wiped data, install rom, again full wipe and again it seems that doesnt work. i checked also for requirements, i have unlocked bootloader, have stock kernel but no lucky at all. im desperate, i dont wanna to stuck again with eclair because its poor in comparation with >2.2. i havent mentioned that earlier about 3 months ago i succed to install gingerv20 without any problem but now i cant. pls help
If you have unlocked your bootloader then why are you on stock kernel?? :what:
Flash the correct & latest nAa or alfs kernel and then the corresponding compatible rom.
Also don't do full wipe AFTER you have flashed the rom!!
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
U are not mentioning that u have installed a kernel with flashtool. If you are using a Rom which requires custom kernel then you have to flash first it with flashtool
Sent from my ST26i using xda app-developers app
You better use cwm instaid of xrecovery. If you have indeed unlocked your bootloader then you can install the kernel with flashtool and the cwm will be included. Also as i have already told you see what kernel the rom works with!
hey guys, when i choosed what rom i will download, in requrement said that will work with stock kernel and i didnt flashed it. but before that rom i flashed it with flashtool to try others and also didnt work...im not that noob, i can read but im sure that i srewed something up...i'll continue to try and i'll let u know have i succed...tnx anyway
After many roms tryed i finally succed to install 'Update-GingerElite.V2', and i didnt FULL WIPED after installing it as ''cdeox8'' said, and he was right. In requrements just said that that need to be rooted, Baseband 015, Sony Ericsson Stock Kernel and that was true, but i tryed few of roms who required same things but they didnt work. Anyway im not gonna to risk anymore with roms, i like this GingerElite so im gonna keep it for the moment. When i buy other phone im goona make some experiments tnx guys anyway
