wat rom u installed?
neways use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071

It seems the best choice is using pc companion for x8 to restore the eclair (for beginner).
Or using flashtool if u know how to use it.

MiniCm7 by nobodyatall? To install this ROMs you need to install the aNa Kernel first! To install this Kernel, you need to unlock the bootloader first! Read the instructions carefully next time!
Flash back to stock ROMs either using flashtool or PCC!

@21st century Apes............Mee tooo went through exactly the same problem...
but i manage to bring back my x8 to normal...using flashtool...
u can give it a try it will 100% work
All the Best

miniCm9 3.0.3 not booting.....

Hi,
I just recently unlocked my bootloader and attempted to flash the nAa-ics-004 kernal on my X8.
After booting into ClockworkMod Recovery I wiped and flashed MiniCm9 3.0.3.
Now when I boot, I get stuck on the "nAa" screen and the logo keeps repeating itself but I can still press back to get into recovery.
So how can I boot into minicm9 now?
Ummmm.... help would be nice.
EDIT: I'm a noob, I unlocked with X8Toolbox, flashed with flashtool but flashtool only said "loader.sin is flashing" or whatever it says, should it say both? I did select both loader.sin and kernal.sin using SHIFT.

It says "2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-C..." but the rest goes off the screen.

Right now I'm not at my computer but I think that may be the reason why.
Ummm... If you don't mind how do I upgrade, (preferably only thru flash mode only)
Any help would be much appreciated

okay
1. first check your baseband is xxx015 (if not, you can find the baseband from B.jay folder and flash it!)
2. Root your phone
- with flash tool by clicking the padlock icon
OR
- copy these files (password=cintaindonesia) and extract on your SDcard, copy paste to system\bin with rootexplorer
4. then unlock bootloader by s1tool or flashtool (NOT FOR 11w29+ !!!)
5. flash the latest ICS kernel
6. backup
7. factory reset, wipe data, etc
8. flash the ROM
9. Done!

Thanks!
Thanks alot guys for your help! I now got MiniCM9 working! Thanks once again.

Hello, im helping a friend root he's phone.
He is stuck at the "Sony Ericson screen"
This is what we have done so far:
- install superuser/bussybox
- Custom recovery (CWM)
He then went into CWM and clicked:
- backup nandroid
- delete dalvik cache
- reset factory
- install zip from sdcard: Presto ... install it...... . .. . .
- Restart phone.
it gave me an error "bad restore can't restart" then It automaticly jumped to another submenu "no" "-yes -- restore CWN" underneath a warning: may not able to access the restore" I clicked yes and it restarted but never got further then booting

have u tried to use SEUS?

we fixed it.
I dont have this phone, so I didnt know you needed to have custom kernel and unlocked baseband.
How can I get the:
1. Latest baseband
2. Unlocked bootloader

to unlock the bootloader you have to check This
for latest baseband update the phone with Update Service

Thank you.
Where can I find this kernels
nAa AND ALFS KERNEL ?
or do they come with the ROM and automatically flash?

you can find in one of the Development Thread, you have to flash it first with flashtool then you can flash the ROM via CWM..

U means u didn't install X recovery.... If u install cwm its possible u having this problem... Cwm only work on stock rom.... Use flash tool and repair.. Install X recovery....i installed it too.. I got the same before, though it was on that Site.. This will work on stock rom

[Q] GingerDX v030 to v31b bricked my X8 - help?

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
and post questions in Q/A section

Unfortunately I'm stuck at the Sony Ericsson screen and can't get to CWM...
Thanks though.

"sony ericsson" logo on boot...thats stock kernel

Yeah, I think it's stock (I soft-bricked the handset once before, and followed instructions elsewhere on XDA to unbrick it - I think those instructions used a stock kernal)

you should have downloaded gingerdx for stock since you are on stock kernel. i guess gingerdx stock means the one for stock kernel

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?

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.
i want install jelly bean
many flash i tried cannot fix this problem
for last step, i download latest "pc companion"
and i follow step by step.
fail and try. error and try.
failed connect and i try..
(i forget my capacity baterries is low)
and bla bla bla....... pc companion can fix this problem
with factory kernel
and factory os: "ENCLAIR" KKKKKKKK
ending of stories ... i install again with rom ginger
i hope can solve your problem
