[Q] How to hard reset a x8?

how to hard reset the x8, without turning on the device?
because it is freezing at the boot screen ...

you need flash by Flash tool or seus (or PCC)

before this problem happened, I turned off the USB debugging, so neither option is viable

If you use seus/pcc/flashtool,they are no need USB debugging,so you can use these tools to fix your phone.

i´ve got the same problem.
my xperia want not start.
it hangs on the sony ericsson logo.
i´ve just restore my backup and then it hangs.

Pachira > As zxc79 and samyeung97hk said, you must use PCC, SEUS or flashtool to unbrick your phone.

any links with any good instructions
please

The easiest way is use PCC/SEUS,they'll have all instructions.
If they can't help you to fix your phone,try to use flashtool.

Download the baseband 015 for your model(a/i) and flash it via flashtool.

Turn the power off. If your Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Left and right buttons located beneath the display
Press and release the Power button
Follow the on-screen instructions to hard reset your Xperia X8

my phone can't start
my x8 still won't start......
it still stuck on the rebooting logo........
it happen when i install the ansroid 2.2
when i restored the backu up file.........
it stuck on the sony logo........
it will be nice if i can start using my phone again.....

Try not to restore data if u flashing a new rom. Restoring data from different android version can cause such problem. Fresh install ur apps.
sent from my digital typewriter

I have same problem twice before this. (coz change custom rom )
I use SEPC. But ur battery must have atleast 50%.
If ur battery already 0% (can't on anymore), u must charge ur X8 by PC.
Becoz when u charge by charger, battery still 0%.
So, just plugin ur X8 at PC and wait 2-3 hour.
Then open SEPC and follow the step 1 by 1.

Just do this
Install pc companium
Take battery out of phone
Plug in usb cabel to pc and device
Then open pc companium select repair phone and wait to it says connect phone then put back battery, and hold back button until the install begin...
Dont forget to press thank button

Use SEUS
I know this is an old thread, but I was able to solve this issue yesterday. My symptom: the phone wouldn't start. It didn't even get to the Sony Ericsson logo. The only thing it did when I pressed the on/off button was vibrate.
In this state, all other suggestions here don't work, because they need a working phone. Even SE's PC Companion needs a working phone.
The solution is Sony Ericssons Update Service (SEUS). This is tricky, because SEUS is not an official download for this phone. However, if you go the SE's site and search for software for another non-android phone, you'll find it. I used the W910 phone.
Install it and just follow the instructions on the screen (basically, with the phone off, connect it to the USB cable while pressing the back key). It will install the official 2.1 android! You'll have a restored phone ready for 2.3 and beyond!

I tried Sony Ericsson PC Companion when my phone was stuck on bootscreen. In my case, a small dialog box came up in the right lower part of the screen which said "Your X8 is connected".
If this doesn't work; open PC Companion, klick on "Uppgrade your phone". Then choose "Restore your phone". Then follow the onscreen progress and your phone will be reseted and should work normaly.
Of course the phone has Android 2.1

Firstly, read other forum's, @Denoo start a new thread.
The easiest way is to unlock with SEUS. How?
1. Download SEUS http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/mobilephones/downloads/subject/updateservice/elm?cc=hr&lc=hr (Click on download now, don't worry, it isn't just for Elm, it's for all phones)
2. Install & start SEUS and follow on-screen instructions - Turn off your phone, press and hold back button and put usb cabel in the phone (still pressing the back button), then when the download starts, stop pressing the back button.
3. When installation finishes, turn on your phone.
Note: On your phone is all data deleted after flashing this software. SEUS flashes original and clean firmwares, so you can still hold your warranty papers.
If SEUS update didn't work, then try flashing firmware with Flashtool. (Search in X8 Android development section this Guide).

Is der any easyer trik like nokia with trik 3 finggers .. ??

Use PCC to repair and restore your phone to original SE stock ROM!
1) Connect the phone to your PC
2) Start your PCC, find the "repair" option, follow the instructions
3) When asked to hold the "back" button and plug in the USB cable, just to it and it will flash the original ROM for you.
4) When finish, follow the instruction to unplug your phone and reboot
5) END OF THE STORY!
you will lose all your data!

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!

Please search for Xperia x8/w8 Update Service setup in google and install the software in your PC then do the below steps.
1) switch off your phone
2) Press the back button continuously and connect the USB cable from your system to phone.
3) Then run the updated service. It will take nearly 30 minutes to complete the software updated process.

Bricked phone?
I had the same problems the first time, i even had to take it back to where I purchased it since it had warranty, after they handed the phone again I stayed with the feeling that there was something I had to try I did it again and it stayed on the sonyericsson logo and didn`t enter the Xrecovery by pressing back button guess what I tried pressin the other buttons the menu and the home button and it enter the Xrecovery from there try doing a restore if you backedup your info if not you have to use flashtool and flash the rom
try going to Xperiax8(todo para este movil) and search Reparar Sony Ericcson Xperia X8 despues de Briqueo (repair phone after brick)
Recommended if you download a clean stock rom I used 1.6 donut and then installed the stock baseband 06 am pretty sure that flashtool has it if not follow this
download the stock firmware to your device and you are back in business

you may use flashtool to flash stock fw.now cwm may not works as it was on fw,

i have same problem what can i do to backup rom ?

W8 stuck on bootup after installing a custom OS.

Help me guys.
I had rooted my phone and installed GingerDX on my W8. Used it for some time but then I wanted to try a new OS.
So installed GingerXperia v22 & 23. I liked both of them but they had many bugs and weren't functioning properly.
I came across this video www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=VONr7v4o1Bs . It has mentioned GingerXperia v25 in its description with a link to it.
I took a risk and installed this in my phone.
But now my phone is stuck on the initial SE screen. It can't access xRecovery on pressing the "back" switch.
What should I do now ?
The date under the battery is 11W32.

use pccomanion or flashtool to flach stock rom....
i dunno if this rom want a custom kernel,but you cant unlocked your bootloader!!!!!

hey bro dont worry its no big deal..........reflash the stock rom using flash tool...............it will be fine........and next time be careful.............

This is what you need to do.
1.iF You dont have pc companion install it.
2.after that plug your phone into your pc, then click on update.
3. it will say that it didn t detect your phone, CLOSE THAT WINDOW.
4.somewhere there should be an option repair. Hit that and do thaat what instructions says.
Hope that helped

thanks guys, used SEUS and reinstalled the default version

Before download a rom, read whether it support stock kernel or not, good luck

[Q] Xperia X8 hangs up at Sony Ericsson logo

Hello. This is my final resort. -.-
I used miniCM7-2.2.1. I've tried everything that has been suggested. My X8 hangs up on the Sony Ericsson logo and I cant access the xRecovery menu. To shut my phone down, I have to take out the battery, since it wont shut down when it hangs up no matter how long I hold the power button. Then I insert the battery again; but when I connect the USB cord, it starts up automatically and then hangs up again. I've tried flashing it but it wont detect in flash mode even if the led is green. so no luck on flashing. I tried SEUS but it says I already have the latest software installed so no luck in updating either. Somebody help! T.T
SUMMARY:
-Hangs up on logo screen
-Cant access xRecovery
-Doesnt detect flash mode (even when led is green)
-SEUS cant upgrade since latest software is installed
PLEASE HELP!

do you have pcc and x8 drivers installed? try rebooting your pc and attempt to flash again. you should be able to get into flash mode. also install gg drivers.
also, i can't quite remember, but doesn't minicm7 require a custom kernel?
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

only seus, pcc,or flashtool.. since you can't get into recovery.

i got it flashed. i figured i'd insert the battery after i plugged into pc. then i flashed it with a stock rom for e16i. worked like a charm. however, i still havent found the right custom rom yet. does anyone has any suggestions?

Dear bro,don't PANIC! its the only thing that makes us to create a bit useless threads..
try with Flashtool second time!
and if doesn't work use PC COMPANION its your best Companion
repair the X8 via PC COMPANION
- Turn off the phone, and unplug it from the PC !
- On your PC, uninstall Sony PC Companion
- Restart your PC
- On your PC, clean any Cache and Registry related to Sony PC Companion, then restart PC again.
- Reinstall Sony PC Companion by downloading it from here
- Turn on Sony PC Companion on your PC
- In Sony PC Companion, enter the Support Zone tab
- Go to Update Phone Software
A window will pop out, saying that it cannot find your phone
- Click on Fix Phone
- Click on Continue
A window will pop out, saying that you will lose all your data
- TICK the BOX
- Click on continue
An update process will began.
Wait for it to show a window with all the SONY mobile phones
- Find your phone (X8)
- Click on the phone.
Now all you have to do is follow the on-screen instructions. It will tell you to hold the back button and plug your turned-off X8 to the PC, then it will erase everything, and download the original 2.1 ROM to your X8.
If Sony PC Companion STILL doesn't recognize your X8, then, uninstall Sony PC Companion AGAIN, and start the above described process AGAIN. It WILL eventually work!

Well, I can tell you that I had a similar experience recently and I almost **** my pants. After having occupied the restroom, PCC worked for me absolutely perfectly, albeit I did have some problems installing the necessary drivers (had to do it from a different machine, obviously something in the registry was messed up).
Seeing you solved the problem, I recommend you install either a 2.2 or 2.3 ROM. Don't go for 4.x ones if you're up for normal use because they are way too strong for this little device (kudos to the developers who made these ROMs happen, though).
My recommendations:
2.2 - FroyoPro v2.5
2.3 - GingerDX v031b
Both work really well with custom kernels, and are very fast and stable.

My X8 has also the same problem, It hangs up in the logo screen and I cant go into the Flashmode, If I can only go into the Flashmode I have already fixed it, but my X8 opens up every time I plug it in my computer. Can anyone help me with this problem?

OK,assuming you have probably root the phone, by the way can you managed to go into recovery mode in your phone? If so, then just copy your rom zip files into the SD card and install zip files from SD card in the recovery mode. By the which Rom and Recovery you are using?

you use flashtool to unbrick your phone? if you use it and can't flash your phone, you have to install flashtool-drivers.exe in drivers folder. everything'll work well.good luck
