EDIT: SOLVED THANKS TO damir87
Ok guys, after a lot of research and messing up I ended up needing to ask for help.
I started trying to install cyanogen mod 9 (Android 4.0.3) where everything was going fine, but when I flashed the kernel with the "Custom Gingerbread kernel nAa-11" and installed the cyanogen 9 ROM with xRecovery, but when I started the phone (And it's still like this ATM) after the Sony Ericson logo, it appears the XPERIA logo with the lighting animation, it does the animation about 3 - 4 times and freezes after that and stays there, sometimes it does the animation 3 times, disappears and appears the logo again and then freezes.
I realized this happened because I didn't unlock bootloader. I can actually check the bootloader and I get the message that says it's locked but you can unlock it but to unlock it I have to have it turned on with USB debugging on.
Also, sometimes when I try to flash it again, after connecting it and the green light turning on it says I have plugged the device in flash mode, then it says I unplugged it and tells me that an error occurred, then the phone boots up by it-self.
BTW I'm a bit newbie in the section of "flashing" and the kernel and the baseband stuff, I'm not sure if with flashing, you flash the kernel, the baseband, or the ROM it-self, or even if you can install a ROM with the flashtool with the phone on flashmode.
BTW I can't access xRecovery.
- SEUS Says my phone is already up to date and all I can do is click finish.
- PCC Says there's not software available for my phone.
WHAT WOULD BE PERFECT TO FIX THIS:
A way to change the ROM to the android 2.1.1.C.0.0 without booting the phone(in flash mode).
HOW I SOLVED IT
-I simply downloaded this stock ROM (2.1.1.C.0.0): http://www.mediafire.com/?eca0sualnao4c4c
-Then just used flashtool V0.2.9.1 (I think it's important that you use that exact version): https://rapidshare.com/#!download|5...|62602|R~5490459C5764641D4665C046409A620A|0|0
(Sorry for rapid**** host, couldn't get any better)
After that it took the phone about 5~ mins to start up after the 2nd SE logo.
Again thanks to damir87!
I was newbie too , but reading threads helped , use SEUS Sony PC Companion to restore to stock.

Thanks for the reply, but Sony PC Companion needs the phone to be ON and on debug mode, actually I can't fully boot the phone and SEUS gets stuck on "checking connection to the phone" or something like that.
Also PCC says there's no available updates for the phone. <.<
Turn off phone , then do what seus asks

The PC companion says there's no software for my phone and,
the SEUS says my phone is already up to date.
When i used seus i had right down a button option to reflash.

guys, problem haa!?
flash this with flashtool and all over again.. rooting, recovery, baseband.. THEN you can install custom rom mate, and if you wanna flash custom kernel read some stuff before! its not so complicated if you know what you doing!

Even I HATE rapidshare, hotfile, depositfile, share and uploading, I'll trust you and hope it works .
With this you say it'll do everything?
Even the rooting while on flashmode? and instal xRecovery?
Remember I can't access the phone.
BRB In 3 hours with the ****ty 30kb/s, gonna practice shuffle.
This file is stock 2.1 for x8 so when you flash this your phone will not be rooted and will not have recovery installed, thats you gonna do after flashing stock rom! btw B.Jay is write nice and detailed tutorial so you can follow these steps to make your phone work!

Oh, ok great, and when flashing this it will install the default ROM and remove the android 4.0.3 ROM right?
EDIT: I already did that tutorial, when I tried to flash the phone with the 2.1.1.C.0.0, it gave me an error saying it can't prepare the files for the flashing, any idea?

When using PCC , don't click on "Update Phone". Your phone won't be recognized.
Click on "Repair Phone" , and follow instructions.
If every thing fails which is doubtfull send it to sony
Problem solved!

Thank u very much guys!!!!

I got hard brick my xperia x8. how can I fix it ?
As far as I know,...you can't
@ others: or is it fixable?!!!
Is it important how did i send this?
I bricked my x8 a month ago and I took it the SE and they repaired..........Take it to a SE....
If you have you're x8 in warranty period take it to s.e and tell them you were trying to update through pcc and something went wrong..
If you're done with the warranty period then they will charge you for it..

okay!
This is for the last option! if didn't work to repair it using PC companion or SEUS
1. download X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf from file crop and you willl get your phone on 2.1
2. its better if you backup your data when in 2.1 you so can restore it OR backup from xrecovery
3. make sure if your baseband is 015
4. root your phone by clicking padlock icon in the Flashtool!
5. install xrecovery with flashtool by clicking the cross icon
6. unlock bootloader using s1tool and phone type is not 11w29+ () !!!
7. flash the latest kernel
8. backup
9. factory reset, wipe data, etc
10. Flash ROM
DOne!
i think you can not repair the hardbrick by yourself unless you are a expert phone repair specialist, and you hace a medusa/riff box your best bet is to take it to a sony shop if you have warranty or take it to a repair shop and cash out some bucks... if the repairshop can do it tell them to unlock your bootloader in the proces...
Yup. No going back from hard brick. Unless you're good at electronics or get your phone repaired at a sony service center.

Ok,a lot of u dont know diference betwen HARD and SOFT brick.SOFT brick is related to software and it could be fixed by SEUS or PCC (stuck on sony logo).
HARD brick is hardware releted issue and it happens when u mess up with bootloader(dead phone,no led light,no vibration,usable only as paper holder).HARD brick cant be fixed by SEUS or PCC!!!

Hi all!
I did a big mistake some days ago.... I was updating my X8 from GingerDX 28 to 29 and some problem occured that my X8 didn't boot anymore, so I tried to flash with SEUS and PC Companion to get back the original ROM... But they doesn't work either. So I tried to start again, but this time I did some stupid, I used the X10 ftf from Flashtool to flash my X8!!! After that, it doesn't turn on, dont even light the LED when charging or connected using USB to PC. If a press turn on button in the top, it doesn't do anything and doesn't vibrate... Connecting using USB, windows doesn't identify that my X8 is there...
What can a do? Did I kill my X8?!?!?
Sorry my english...

I think you hard bricked your x8, because no response to on button is sign of hard bricking.

You either hard bricked it(I don't think so) or its just out of battery.
Charge it for an hour and flash the x8 ftf this time

Make FTF Dump From X8
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a dump from a X8 that is currently in use, with the phones complete data (apps + info + settings )
in effect, a nandroid for use with Flashtool ?
I am thinking of using this method in replacement of nandroids because of the recovery being stored in the system partition and I have had problems with them before - usually MD5 mismatch errors.
you have hard bricked your phone !

I am looking at flashtool as a replacement to nandroid backup??
You can make flashtool .sin/.ftf files from nandroid backups. But these flashtool packages will work only with unlocked bootloader/patched loader, because you can make the .sin headers but can't reproduce the security signatures, so with locked bootloader better if you forget it...

I tried unlock bootloader before, using the main guide on here, but it kept bricking ?
The build is lower than the number advised to not use so I don't know what happened. I just had to keep trying, then recovering with SEUS.
Any help mate would be amazing as I am sick of being stuck on Stock 2.1-update1 and stock kernel, it limits the phones abilities so much!! argh!
