So I tried to install cm7.1 on my x8. I successfully rooted and installed a unlocked bootloader, went to flash cm but got an assert error, so I edited some sort of XML file to remove the assert bit (found it on a post here). Till here CM installed fine but when I hit the reboot CWM gave an error "Current recovery seems bad", I sort of ignored that error and rebooted just the same but now it's stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" screen.
I have tried to re-lock the bootloader using flastool but seems I did not manage as the "Running" line still says RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A029", from the logs s1tool created I can see that this line has never actually changed!!!!
I've also tried to use PCC but when I try to repair it says that there are no updates for my device.
Anyone has any ideas what I can do?

You need to flash back to Stock by using Flashtool.
Search the X8 Q&A and X8 General board - there having been gazillions of threads about "how do I restore stock with Flashtool" ... there's at least one each day...

An other workaround, is to flash with a lower version of stock ROM with flash tool, say 1.6 donut rom, then use PCC to repair and update your phone, to the lastest 2.1 Stock Rom. From there, you can flash whatever Roms you want!
I managed to unbrick it with flashtool ... turns out I was flashing the wrong stuff!! It was hard to find the rom (especially when it's 2am) but in the end I found one here:

Hey,
I am having problems while trying to root, install cwm5 and install a custom ROM to my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i.
PROBLEM:
First:
I rooted my phone by following this article.
It rooted in less than a second, so i had my doubts and went ahead and rooted it again, only to get the same thing... After starting my phone normally, i found this new icon
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
.
Root checker also confirmed that it was successfully rooted.
Second:
I tried to install CWM 5 from the same article. When installing, I get the following error:
Error in E://tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
However, after following this article, i was able to get it to work. However, like it says in the article, i have to install the zip from SD card via standard recovery every time i have to use CWM
Third:
I did all this to try to install this custom ROM.
While using "temporary" CWM, i tried installing this, but once again, i get the exact same error:
Error in E://tmp/sideload/package.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
I thought it was due to a bad file, so i downaded everything again, again, and finally, once again... Nothing seems to work
I then tried to flash CWM via ROM Manager. It asks me to confirm my model, with only one option (i.e. S3850i), i tap that and it says no supported CWM available, but i know there is by looking at these articles and other tutorials
I also tried re-rooting my phone via super one click v.2.3.1.0, but it hangs at waiting for device...
DETAILS:
Galaxy Ace S5830i (GSM), bought in Dubai
My PC runs Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Please help me out here... thanks

Well i copied it from my comp, pasted it in my SD card. Shut my phone down, then restarted into recovery mode (Samsung Standard <e3> or something like that). Selected apply update from SD card in zip
selected the file (which was in the main directory itself).
Then a few lines of code appeared...
something about getprop or something...
then after say the 12th line of code, that error message appears...

I think you are a little hard on the reading part yourself..it clearly states that your device is a GT-S5830 "T" and not "i" !!!!!!!!!!

Well mine was a gb preinstalled. but i checked online and saw tutorials for rooting galaxy aces with gb 2.3.6 (mine has 2.3.6)... and it seems to work fine
also, 1 minor difference i found (dunno if it helps) is that in the tutorials, the screenshots and vids show
Galaxy ACE SGH S5830
and at the bottom it says samsung (during boot)
On mine, the Samsung is at the top

Dude, if you did know some code, it looks like a test to check if it is a T, or an L or just S5840... now i dont know why there is no i in there, maybe that's the problem, and thats what im trying to figure out
Also, im sure its an i since it says that on my box, plus on my bootscreen, and in my about phone settings page
Hello everyone! I'm having a problem with my p990,I had Topogigi ICS V30A with unlocked Bootloader,i flashed a cm10.1 rom(i did build it myself but the partitions were wrong) and I decided then to revert to V10b..so I put the phone in apx mode,connected to pc and nvflashed the original rom.
But here comes the problem: when I connect my phone to the pc,and go to LG update tool,it says V30A is installed and that it's not needed to update! Why?! I also tried with smartflash but it's the same!
Also: Now I reflashed Topogigi's V28,and then updated to Topogigi V30A with unlocked BL,If I try to flash any CM10/CM10.1 zip I get an error saying:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "p990" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p990"
E: Error in /sdcard/cm-10-20121228-UNOFFICIAL-p990.zip (Status 7) Installation Aborted.
Any solution??
It was all working before!
You cannot update from LG probably because you have bb of 30a and the official updater reads it. If you want to update with LG tool, after nvflash of 10B, you must change bb with smartflash, using an earlier bb (for example 10B bb) .

Flashed V10B Baseband,now booting stock rom,i'll re-upgrade to topogigi's ICS with CWM and i'll let you know if it all works again as it should,thanks for the moment

Yes unlock your bootloader following the above instructions BUT only if your phone's manufacturing date is below 11W29.
