I flashed the latest official firmware...
Than after all my attempts i can't install any ROM, except official 2.1.
Please, write me instructions how to install CM7 - i need help...
I have rooted 2.1 with xRecovery - what's next?
Go to xrecrovery choose instal custom zip from sd card hoose zip from sd card find your mini cm 7 install rom and factory reset/full wipe.
It depends on ROM. Some of CM7 works only on custom kernels, so You should first check if You will be able to unlock bootloader. Look behind Your battery - on the stick there should be something like xxWyy which will tell You the year and the week of Your board. If it's older than 11W26 (26th week of 2011) - U may unlock bootloader and install custom kernel (on Your own risk ;P). If not - You shouldn't do this and search for ROMs working on SE stock kernel

Also, some ROM required CWM instead of Xrecovery, so read carefully before attempting anything.
Hmmmm
I unlocked bootloader long time ago(10WW48 on the sticker).
to przemek4113: Just installing from xrecovery gives me a unbooting phone.
I tried Froyo, but it doesn't boot too.
Then i'm flashing(Xrecovery doesn't give me a booting phone even if i recover all system) official 2.1.
This phone was bought with GinderDX on it. But latest versions need new kernels(flashing kernel bricks phone).
May be try Previous versions of GingerDX?
Really, i tried about seven customs...
P.S. I'm installing xrecovery ROM's from Xrecovery and CWM ROM's from CWM...

Mind to elaborate where you read that "latest versions need new kernels"?
GingerDX runs on STOCK KERNEL, LinuxDX as well as Alfs. I fail to find the part in doixanh's post where it says something about forcing a certain kernel to be used.
Make sure you have an older x8 than 11w29, its under the battery. When the number is 11w29 or newer, you'll not get CM. Unlock your bootloader.
Download and flash FXP kernel. Install official CM with the kernel built-in CWM. I recommend to flash nAa kernel after install the CM, it's much better.

If you want CM7 you should go to this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585
That's my fault - i was speaking about another ROM. Not GingerDX - but it doesn't boot too.
I followed advise about miniCM7.
Flashed kernel ->then wiped all(i disliked the message about ext4 - there's no this partition - probably that's the problem???) ->installed ROM. Nothing.
"nAa kernel" logo appears and then it reboots.
UPD:
I've installed GingerXperia(v19) via CWM.
Then -
I've flashed all kernel,fota and smth else(not all files from 2.1.1).
Then it booted...strange)
But i'll try to work with other kernels...

Flash Tool - I've seen links on it thousand times on 4pda.ru, but not here - i suppose it to be in the branch about X10.
http://www.mediafire.com/?z7fmpiragbbdxdu - here is flasher.
http://depositfiles.com/files/c2gllgt6t - or here, with official firmware
It would be great if somebody could provide the step by step procedure of flashing my w8 to get past the se logo....
1)Download all archives above
2)Run flasher
3)Press "Flash" and choose necessary firmware
4)follow advices of software
5)reboot -> You have official 2.1
then
1)check your bootloader(http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/1227710/S1tool.7z) with this tool
2)unlock it if it is able for you
3)take root(superoneclick with debugging)
4)make xrecovery
5)install any xrecovery zip
or
alt 5)make CWM
alt 6)install any CWM zip
or
install kernel
then install zip
Firstly try it from xrecovery. If you have some problems - write PM to me)
I have done it and successfully flashed as per flashtool...but now even i cant boot stuck at "sony ericsson" now the animated logo works and reboots automatically...pls help
Have you done "user-wipe" in Flash Tool???
Here is from friendly branchcontains a collection of GingerDX 013-022 and some other goodies in the "Sony Ericsson" folder - i.e. Basebands, PCC, SEUS, Flashtool)

There are some problem that causes custom rom cannot boot. I will state the problem but, you gonna go search it for yourself.
1.Busybox not correctly installed
2.Root incorrectly
3.Baseband incompatible
4.Rom need custom kernel to work (Extra care.)

Im guessing your coming from stock ,, so heres what you gotta do
if you bought the cell recently you don't need tio update your baseband,,
anyways heres what you must do
1. Root your phone
2.install xrecovery /Cwm
3.Move your desired rom to you memory cards,, not on any folder directly on the card
4. reboot and open xrecovery/Cwm(whichever the rom requires)
5.Data reset
6.Flash rom
anyways some roms require custom kernels in that case learn howto unlock your bootloader and flash the required custom kernel
and your good to go
Hit the thanks button if i helped

-use flashtool
Okay now,
-root your phone(turn on usb debugging. don't remove usb yet)
-install busybox (don't remove usb yet)
-reboot your phone, if flash tool on PC showing busybox version : XXX XXX or whatever you are good to go if not, redo, (Problem in flashtool, driver or usb debugging not turned on)
-install xRecovery
-continue on Post by AbirXtreme ~
Note: when busybox showing version, there's is no need to use seus to go back again. you may just pull out the battery(with usb unplugged), wait for 10 sec and turn on again. Experiment with installing xRecovery on phone boot-up and try again without using seus... and if you stuck on the sony ericsson logo, wait... then try lock your screen. if screen can be locked (turn dark) mean that your root+busybox are good but xRecovery are not, just try many times to get to it.... and if all those above is not working... search other dev or thread

ah, sorry to my previous post.... i wasn't read it carefully....
now that you can enter xRecovery/Cwm is good
now what you need is,
1. check the rom post for more info, if it says for custom kernel/alfs kernel/nAa kernel. Sorry you can't use this as your rom.(unlocking your bootloader will fix this issue. WARNING:It's dangerous, search )
2. Try flash my Fix for stock kernel and Fix for low performance at my post in dev section
3. Try full-wipe in every rom if you still have this problem
4. Cannot help your further
A little stupid hint...
Are you sure you are stuck at se logo? I mean, have you wait enough? Sometimes it gets up to 5 min to start and especially first time...

Do not Full wipe after installing ROM
Always full wipe before installing, not after....I hope this helps
Change Your Baseband! if Your Baseband finish in .......06
you need change it to ............15
Check your baseband in Settings/about phone
I Haved This problem and I Solve it Changing My Baseband! xD
so as mine can any one know how to upgrade 11W42
it is probably the fact you need custom kernel. But before trying to unlock bootloader, turn phone off,, take back cover and battery off and check your phones date ie
10w56 or 11w34 etc

Not in some cases. Some DEVS put when to do full wipe. So it depends on what the installation instructions are

Hello guys!
I recently tried to update my rom to my xperia x8 and i chose ICS minicm9 - shakira 3-0-4 for xperia x8. I unlocked my bootloader succesful and i installed the nAa kernel version 2.6.29.6 to my phone (i forgot to say i ve already rooted it and did a backup file with xrecovery).
Anyways the phone stuck at the sony ericsson screen after the kernel screen and never opened... I opened CWM , made a backup , wiped the data and tried to install the ICS but every time i tried (3-4 times) i got an error : "Can't open /sdcard/MiniCM9-3.0.4-shakira.zip (bad) Installation aborted". I tried to do my xrecovery backup but CWM couldn't find any backup files! I tried to connect phone with PC companion in flash mode but it recognises it as an xperia x10 and i can't do anything with it!!! I tried everything pls help me!!!:crying:

first of all.... cwm will never find the backup made by xrecovery because they are in different folders... for cwm to find them take the backup folder from xrecovery folder to the clockworkmod folder...
and then
reflash the kernel and try installation again to remove that stuck at SE logo problem.....
you need to install """"nAa ICS"""" kernel for miniCM9.... i think you installed nAa GB kernel and that is what creating problems..
try installing rom after that if it shows error there is some problem with the zip file i suppose... tell me if it gives error after this and see if it gives status 6 or status 7 error..
anyway you will have to redownload the zip..something might have went wrong during download.
and the flashtool recognizes it as x10 because you set it that way...reinstall it...
when it asks you do you want to "permanenty identify device?" i think you selected x10... next time it asks you select X8
Here's my opinion. I'm not sure how but if what you say is true, that you're running nAa ics kernel, it shouldn't be stuck at the SE logo. 2nd, if you're on a custom kernel, you won't have xrecovery. Third, our phones, after flashing kernels are recognized as X10's, not X8's.
@CnC-ROCK xrecovery backups can't be restored that way. i tried and failed
@OP if you've successfully installed nAa-ICS then you should not see the SE logo. try reflashing and wiping cache partition.
Well nothing worked! I have the proper kernel for my device and everything but i can't install the ICS and i did what you said me about the restore but it told me something about MD5 (doesn't match i think or something)
Reflash stock kernel.Then flash the ROM again. And finally flash your kernel back.
Please Press The Thanks Button
It's my matter how I send this.
Please stop telling me to reflash again! I told you i did it many times and nothing worked! Please tell me how i can change to the basic kernel and then i ll do the process again from the begin , as nothing works! Thank you!

He actually said don't tell him to reflash custom kernel. And to be honest if he's seeing anything with Sony on boot then he definitely isn't flashing right.
OP how exactly did you flash the ICS kernel?

download the file again, sometimes it happens when the file is not properly downloaded.

If you can't do this,you have to flash (stock kernel and stock rom)

Sorry for reposting but it has been quite a lot of time i ve posted and none respond! So! I flashed the stock kernel and backuped (the person who told me to do it took a "thank you") and now i want to redo the process... What do you suggest me so that i won't stuck again on this step??

I've searched through XDA (manually and with search function) but can't find the answer I need, so am trying here hoping someone will help.
I was running GingerDX v29 on my X8, happily, when I was notified of an update to v030. I left it a few days and then got the notification of an update to v031b. There was two options on the screen: Download GingerDX v031b, or download GingerDX stock. I figured since I'm already using GingerDX I should be able to just download the new version rather than the stock.
So I downloaded it to my SD card, rebooted to CWM and choose to install the download. All seemed to go through fine, I got a success message, and was invite to reboot. I rebooted, and I'm now stuck with "Sony Ericsson" across my screen and nothing else. No access to CWM etc.
I guess I have two questions:
1) Can I get back to v29 or finish off the update to v031b, without having to erase everything and redo whatever it was I had to do to get v29 on there in the first place (v29 was the first ROM I installed on my handset)?
2) What should I have done when presented with the options for upgrading? (I'd kinda like to acoid the same mistake in future.)
All help gratefully received, and I'll be liberal with the Thanks button
TIA
in CWM wipe cache and dalvk cache
if phone doesnt boot flash v29 back and create backup
than flash 31b,wipe data/cache and advance restore data from backup created earlier...wipe cache again
good luck

I think I did (as part of the v029 install (or maybe it was the v030 install - I can't even remember which one of those I was on)), but I can't say for sure. I definitely didn't when I tried to update to v031b. I just ran the .zip and when I got the confirmation of success I rebooted. Haven't got passed the Sony Ericsson logo since.

What would I need to have been running in order to have used the GingerDX v31b? (Sorry - I'm still learning about stock, kernels, ROMs, Alfs, nAa etc, so don't yet understand what they all mean / do / are used for.)
Is there any way I can recover my phone without having to reinstall all my apps etc?

Is there any way I can recover my phone without having to reinstall all my apps etc?

you have unlocked bootloader? if so then flash custom kernel and it will boot fine.
you can use adb to backup your apps or flash back the previous version and backup them.
you might have downloaded the rom that was not for stock kernel.
your phone is soft bricked, can be repaired using sony pc companion.
Look for a thread to repair a soft bricked phone.
its so easy..
i am stuck for 2 day. i do for many way for disolve my problem. stuck in logo sony, because i wipe, and i dont install new/custom kernel.

Greetings from Colombia. The post I translated with Google translator because not speak English. Hope is not a big problem and I hope I helped. Thanks again.
My problem is this. I have an Xperia X8 (E15i - 11w13) and a few days ago I returned my Xperia X8 to PC COMPANION Stock (Stock Firmware and Kernel) Then using the ROM: rDroid (The best ROM for me)
With my phone in stock. Decides to Flashing ...
+ Then I ROOT my phone with flashtool. All good up there.
+ I decided to install the xRecovery as always and installed (Copying 3 files to System / Bin with RootExplorer)
Restart .. And no, it did not work.
- Investigate and maybe he problem was the permissions. I repeated the process, modify permissions ... And no, it did not work
- Maybe it was the Busybox?. I repeated the process after installing Busybox from the Android Market ... And nothing
- So I thought ... and it decided to install the xRecovery Flashtool, I did and .. It worked!
Already with the xRecovery working and the new ROM on SD Card, decided Flashing.
+ Realize what Wipes and install the ROM ... There all good
+But when the cell lit New ROM test, shoot me Restarts every 10min, with a message in the notification bar that says: "It is safe to remove the SD"
+Or failed the internet or in the Market / Play Store (would not let me download any APP)
+Or And there did not return to take the ROM .. It was stuck on the logo of SONY
+Or And Not even let me enter the xRecovery
Then I play do ... TOTAL STOCK Back to PC Companion.
I returned to Perform ROOT process, Xrecovery (with Flashtool) ... All to Flash the ROM withthe rDroid Cel (The one I was using before the problem and it works excellent)
But what ... Again the same problem. The constant pulling reboot message "Safe to remove the SD"
So when I went back to try to get the xRecovery .. He returned and stayed stuck in the Logo of SE.
And I got to re-do?... Make PC STOCK TOTAL COMPANION :crying:
¡HELP ME!
hi. i understand that you don't speak english, and thanks for the effort in using translate, but i'm afraid i'm not sure i understand. are you experiencing a soft brick now? or is the sdcard error the issue?
if you have a soft brick (stuck in sony logo), try using seus instead of pcc if pcc doesn't work.
if you're experiencing the sdcard issue, backup your sdcard and reformat it. also, install cwm instead of xrecovery as some roms apparently do not support xrecov (i have not experienced it though).
also, are you on stock kernel? i'm not familiar with the rom you're using. or is your bootloader unlocked and you have a custom kernel? and what is the new rom you're trying to use?
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
Just helping
if u want to fix the booloop (stuck at sony logo)
just flash the original firmware by flash tool
download here
and if u want to install custom rom
- Flash the kernel
- Full Wipe (dalvik cache and batery stats)
- Factory Reset
- Install ROM

Hello. Thanks for answering Cascabel.
But I had no brick problem, or soft or hard.
The phone works normally with the Stock ROM, but with a Custom ROM works but has problems (the same problem throughout the ROM I try)
Buy a New SD card (8GB Kingston) to see if the problem was on the sd card. And it still has the same problem with the new card

what ROM did you use? "Safe to remove SD" was a known bug in early days of Froyo/GB.

Good news, for now...
Thanks for your answers. Yesterday test a ROM (Xperia SOUL Engine Generation4) And so far not filed failures..
The problem of "Safe to remove SD" I had in GB (ROM android 2.3.5)
+I have to test what the Xrecovery. See if I work or if I presented another problem (When using xRecovery, pressing the back key and the phone would not start and it stuck in the logo of Sony Ericsson)

You don't test or mess xrecovery if you are in custom rom. You'll soft brick even you can boot up to xrecovery and xrec uses amend scripting so CWM in custom rom is the best. Xrec uses busybox and all custom rom can't update busybox.
