[Q] I brick my dear phone ? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys .. i have a litle problem ...
here is whats happen a today:
I cant back to stock kernel ... my phone boot only when i flash linuxDX x.x
a few days ago y flash linuxDX and then go back to the stock kernel ... no prob with that .. but .. then i decide to give another chance to linuxDX and i installed it again..
but now i want to go back to stock kernel but the phone stuck at SE logo..
i did this:
I delete all the files in /system/lib/modules before flashing
I flash the stock kernel (the same one that i used before)
I reboot my phone and it stuck at SE LOGO
Any ideas? thanx !
EDIT: now ... i flash linuxDX ... but i dont have service rigth now ... i cant make any calls or 3g ..or nothing ...
in status the phone says that have "UNKNOW BASEBAND" x_x
i try to flash this:
E15a_X8a_2.0.2.A.0.24_Baseband_006
E15a_X8a_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015
From the blagus tread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538)
But when i flash anything other than linuxDX the phone stuck at SE LOGO
i dont know what to do =( ... anyone ?
OK i now i flash linuxDX again ... and i have infit bootloops !
i try to install againg gingerDX and not working .. infinit bootloops at gingerDX logo..
i try to restore any buckups with CWM but i cant cuz i did the backups with xRECOVERY and i cant boot with xRecovery ! only with CWM ... i think that its the same .. but i know now that its not the same ... !
Any help ?¿im so ****ed !
Ok after a few tryes i can boot with xRecovery, y flash stock kernel and i restore a backup of my original android 2.1
But still have infinit bootloops x_x

you have to start over they are two ways to do
1 by flash your phone by SE pc suit or by flashtool see the below you will understand http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071 i "if i help you please don't shy to press thanks button"

i can help i think
hello. now this q made my day (also made me think)
now how did you install cwm. did it come with a rom
or did you do it manually.
usally when i restore using cwm i get the option of restoring with cwm or doing a restore tht has been saved on xrecovery
if this hasnt helped then quote this comment and i will do more to help you (i like answering q's)

Thanks guys for the help =D
ok finally i can flash stock kernel with latest baseband and latest update, and recover my old 2.1 ...
Y have 3G .. wifi .. everythings working perfect. . BUT ....
when i try to install a custom room with xrecovery the baseband set as "unknow" and i back to 2.1 cuz i dont have any service
why this happen ?

so just flash a basebandof x15 you have to search it in the xda for insalting a rom u should have x15 baseband

[Solved] Ginger DX .. AGAIN!

i really have no idea why won't Gdx work on my god damn phone !!
This is getting quite annoying !!
every time i try 2 install it ..
something happens!
..
1st time i bricked the phone
for unknown reason !
Now this time
I flashed the linux DX
then installed the ROM on CWM
As the original GDX thread says
Then boots ..
till it reaches the 2nd GDX logo where there is a sound playing
and gets stuck there!!
keeps on replying the same little flash with the sound ..
with no damn boot
..
Sorry for my language but this is getting on my nerves !

here what i did to install GingerDX on my Xperia X8 after failing to install CM7.1
1. i rooted the phone
2. installed xRecovery
3.boot in to xrecovery
3. made a backup of original rom (2.1 eclair)
4.did a factory reset, wipe data
5.and choose update from .zip and select the custom rom zip file u copied ti your SD card
and good to go, here a link for a video which helps me to install xRecovery (and almost everything you need)
( search for technewsweeklymmxi youtube channel and you can find the tutorials )

Xrecovery unable to enter!!

tried to use xrevcovery to install froyopro today but i cant enter xrecovery , when i see the SE i spammed back but it just hangs the phone so i remove the battery and tried again for like 5 times but nothing happened , then i try to enter my gingerdxx fearing it might got corrupted but it's still fine ...but why cant i enter xrecovery?
Really? I couldn't enter xRecovery too when I was on GDX v018, v019 and v020.
Just install another CWM ROM if you can enter CWM.
but iwas able to use xrecovery just a few days / hours ago ..and now i cant ..is there a prolbem with my xrecovery? i cant enter CWM also and ccwm (installed version ) don't have x8 option in it's list T.T ...without xrecovery i cant backup my phone anymore!! is there any alternative or solution? just wondering ...is there a diff between xrecovery and cwm?
tohno ... since you wrote in another thread that you installed ROM Manager ...
ROM MANAGER IS NOT MEANT FOR THE XPERIA X8!
This program is ONLY for genuine CyanogenMod ROMs on a selected range of devices... so... that should actually answer your question why you can't select the X8 in the list of devices.
As for being unable to enter xRecovery ...
a) GingerDX comes with Dual-Recovery by default. This means that BOTH, xRecovery and ClockworkMod recovery, are already installed. You DO NOT need to manually install any of them ... if you do, or did, you will only wreck the installed ones.
b) xRecovery does NOT work on the LinuxDX kernel, and will most likely also not work on all the other custom kernels as well as they don't have xRecovery built into the kernel but only CWM.
Conclusion: If you're on GingerDX and already messed around with the recoveries ... re-flash GingerDX and full-wipe.
If you're on Stock 2.1.1.A.0.0 or 2.1.1.C.0.0 use Flashtool to inject xRecovery into the ROM.
EDIT: Another reason why xRecovery may not work... any chance you messed with busybox?
If you updated the default busybox version that ships with GingerDX - or the original xRecovery installation - you may face problems!
confused a little...but i was able to enter recovery many times before when i was still using GDX
abou a) well i need xrecovery to install GDX in the 1st place...so it's a must for me to install xrecovery
b) i never messed with the kernel!
so i guess i have to reflash then...but how to or what is reflash?? is it means i have to do the xrecovery process all over again?
Depends on what you did ...
If you somehow messed around with the files of the recoveries in your current GingerDX (or whatever else) ROM installation you better re-flash GingerDX (or whatever ROM you're currently using) to undo the changes you may have done to the OS. This means: reboot into CWM and simply re-flash update-GingerDX-v020.zip
i cant even enter CMM!! i click reboot to CWM but then it just reboots like normal ...
help plz i really need to enter CMW and xrecovery ...

I've never used FlashTool but would that work?
Leave a thanks if I helped!
not sure...i dunno whats flash tool anyways >.< n still when i try to enter CMw or xrecoery my phone just hangs ...so i take out the battery
reflash ur firmware and root with superoneclick
whill i lose my mod if i do that?
even i havent face situation to use flashtool yet,i guess so,but since u sAid u cant enter into cwm/xrecovery anymore so flash ur phone and u can root again and install ur rom,root with superoneclick
hey guys, I got a small problem. I want to restore my data onto a new ROM without restoring system settings. Is this possible using xrecovery? Because when I restore data, even the system settings I had on my previous ROM gets restored, and I can't change the setting manually on the new ROM because it doesn't have that particular function in the new ROM.....thanx in advance

[Q] Bootloop after flashing Achotjan-Semc-Debrand-Engine-V1.0_Final_E15i

Hello xda developers,
I have searched in your whole forum but i can´t find a solution for my problem.
I´ve rooted my x8, installed xRecovery, Rootexplorer and installed a android 2.2.1 custom rom. Everything worked. Then i decided to install the Achotjan-Semc-Debrand-Engine-V1.0_Final_E15i. I did a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvick and battery stats. Then i flashed the rom.
Problem: While rebooting i got a bootloop. Even worse: i don´t get back in the xrecovery menu !!! I pushed the back button nearly 100 times but it doesen´t work.
Question: How can i get back in the xrecovery ?
Because you need nAa kernel and you need to flash the ROM in CWM recovery.

Can i fix this or is this phone forever broken ?
Did you try to repair your phone via PCC or did you use SEUS ?
I was able to fix a bootloop with PCC

I have a problem mounting SD Card

So , i rooted my X8 yesterday and then installed CWM. Everything went fine (I was following tutorials made here - awesome work by the way)
then when i loaded 3 custom roms , i went to CWM made a backup , formated cache , data , system and then when i tried installing them i got the error 7. ive seen that its a common error. So after that , i couldnt load the phone and it was stuck in "Sony Ericsson" screen forever. couldnt load CWM aswell. Then i flashed the original ftf and it booted normally. rooted again and installed CWM. Next thing , i flashed 2.6.29.6-nAa-jb-03 Custom jb kernel. Everything went fine , then i formated data , cache and system. But when i tried to load the Roms it couldnt mount sd card.
So now i can neither install a rom nor restore the phone.
Can someone help me ?
(by the way , phone stays at nAa Freedom Within screen. or the CWM )
What's the point in flashing that kernel?

re insert the sd card, i too have experienced this problem many times, try it mate
Okay , so i tried inserting it again and again. nothing really changed.
Gogeta to be honest , im a total newb @ these things i just started readin about custom roms rooting e.t.c
So , can you tell me why i didnt need to flash that kernel?
i mean i wanted to instal MiniCM10 and the requiremenents were these
Requirements:
Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware / Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Unlocked bootloader
Latest version of the 2.6.32 nAa JB kernel
latest not old, naa05 is the latest
Sent from my katana with a sharpness over 9000!
Oh , so that would be the problem right?
How do i fix this? i need to flash the original tft then root again - install recovery - unlock using s1tool and then flash the latest nAa?
Thank you by the way.
you can enter recovery so you can flash the new version by wiping data cache and system, but first, is your sd card formatted? format it first to avoid those problems
