X8 not booting

Hello,
I just broke my SE X8 after attempt of installing MiniCM7.
Basically, after removing battery to make my phone shut down, then starting it, all I get is "Sony Erricson" logo and nothing further, everything stops at "Sony Erricson" logo, I tried pressing "Back" to enter xRecovery and do system restore to fix everything, but I can't even get into xRecovery.
Please assist!

Did you ...
a) ... even read the 1st post in the MiniCM7 dev thread?
b) ... unlock your bootloader (WARNING! You may hard brick your phone when it's in a certain manufacturing date range) and install the required kernel?
From the symptoms you describe it doesn't seem that way.
Also (it's just being posted several hundred times) ...
XRECOVERY DOES NOT WORK ON CUSTOM KERNELS!
EDIT: I already posted how to resolve the problem HERE

Options for fixing?

See the edit in the 2nd post.

Thanks for answer!
How do I enable USB connetion if I can't get till it?

You don't need to enable "USB-Debugging"
Depending on which way you choose you ...
EDIT
a) ... need to unlock the boot loader through the required tools with the phone being in Flash-Mode
b) ... need to Flash the Kernel through Flashtool with the phone being in Flash-Mode
c) ... need to restore Stock 2.1.1 through Flashtool with the phone being in Flash-Mode
"Flash Mode" means:
- Turn the phone OFF!
- DISCONNECT the USB cable FROM your computer
- Launch Flashtool
- Select the file you want to flash
- Once Flashtool requests you to you press the Back button and KEEP IT PRESSED while you plug the USB cable into the computer.
This has nothing to do with "USB-Debugging".

Perfect!
Managed everything trough
"c) ... need to restore Stock 2.1.1 through Flashtool with the phone being in Flash-Mode"
Thank you very much!

Yes. Use pcc or flash back to stock using flashtool. Lots of threads here to help you out. Search.

[Q] Unbricking problem

So I was stupid enough to reinstall busybox and bricked my xrecovery and ROM (FroyoBread v23b) but the problem is i can't unbrick it. Tried PCC which just says "there is no new software yet", SEUS just freezes on phone check and FlashTool seems to do it's job but after flashing my phone is still stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo. I'm currently out of ideas so any help would be much appreciated.

hey
i bricked my phone yesterday, this is how i unbricked it:
PCC>support zone>and pick the first one.
when it says no phone is connected press ''repair phone''
and follow the instructions.
leave thanks if helped

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!

When I connect my phone off the SEUS. So self starts. Also, it makes even the flashtools

Try reinstall Gordons gate! Restart computer connect phone while you holding back button and flash stock rom! That's procedure for flashtool! If don't work try PC Companion and repair button

.
Resolved. Ultimately helped PC Companion

- first download X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf from filecrop
put in the firmware folder on Flashtool
- flash that kernel, so you get your phone in 2.1
- root your phone with flash tool by clicking the cross icon
-unlock bootloader (remember do not unlock BL for 11w29+)
- flash the kernel
- backup
- factory reset, wipe data, etc
- flash your ROM
Done! :laugh:
