i installed gingerxperia that doesent work stuck on bootanimation. but when im going to install gingerdx im trying to boot up clockworkmod but i pressed back button and then it stucks on SE logo. anyone knows!?
U should do a full wipe and factory reset. Go to advanced, and do a battery stat wipe and a dalvik cache wipe. If it doesn't works, then u bricked your phone. Read a thread about unbrick the X8. Here's one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071
Press THANKS if i helped

i unbricked my phone with PCC. im back to 2.1 but. thanks anyways...
Don't Give Up
It has happened to me, just flash the x15 Basebands needed for custom Roms, without the x15 Baseband, a custom rom will just make your phone bootloop.
Use latest Flashtool.
Hope that helps.
(If you are unsure which X8 you have, just remove the battery and look at the sticker beneath it. In any case, if you flash the wrong one you will just lose 3G until you flash the right one, so no worries)

it will restore your phone back to stock
after nvflashing v10b back on your phone, you can restore your backup if you like to. root and clockworkmod must be installed first though. To install clockworkmod you can also download the clockworkmod recovery img and replace recovery.img in the nvflash files. this will install cwm directly and you don't need to root your device.
You don't need to convert back to ext3. I'm not even sure if cm7 uses ext4...
The reason why you are not able to restore your backup is because of some bug in cwm with restoring boot.img I think..

What i did before installing a custom rom:
I rooted my phone using superoneclick method.
Then installed xrecovery V0.1. (with busybox and charm*something)
Made a backup of the original room using Xrecovery
How did i install the custom roms and what happend:
Renamde gingerxd v13 to update.zip and place it on sdcard.
Wiped cache and factory reset(fullwipe).
Install update.zip with Xrecovery.
(after my first attemp failed, i tried to wipe cache and factory reset after installing the room too)
Reboot phone.
Phone goes into reboot loop. First sony ericsoon, then the logo of whatever custom room i'm trying to install.
I tried the MiniCM7-2.0.7 (source)
Then i tought, what if i downloader a back from another phone? i got Floyo 2.2.5 (source)
Restoring this backup too got me into a reboot loop.
Final question(and probably the supidest one if the answer is yes)
Do i need to unlock the bootloader to install a custom room? The guides i used didn't mention it at all, and since it may brick my device beyong xrecovery's help i'd like a straight answer before attempting it.
I tried to make this post as clear as possible and maybe someone can point out if im missing something.
Very important thing: Did your baseband end with 015? If no, that's why you are having these problems.
And no, you don't need to unlock the Bootloader to install Custom Roms.
It ends in 006. Thanks ill be reading on flashing a baseband and report back. PCcompanion says my phone is up do date so i'll be using this. If you have a better alternative let me know.
^^
Edit: Is there a way to configure pcc to make the update for me? Like say im from another country were the update is available?
Use Flashtool, go here
Thanks Chris95X8. my phone is now running 2.3.5 gingerdx rom. everything works. The only thing that's driving me nuts is the notification i get when i lose signal. Any way to fix this?
Sadly it didnt work for me... I have tried out flashing basebands but it wont work. still looping around. makes me crazy.

Are you sure that you flashed the right baseband?
If you have, maybe try to boot phone without the SD card in it..
Hello xda developers,
I have searched in your whole forum but i can´t find a solution for my problem.
I´ve rooted my x8, installed xRecovery, Rootexplorer and installed a android 2.2.1 custom rom. Everything worked. Then i decided to install the Achotjan-Semc-Debrand-Engine-V1.0_Final_E15i. I did a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvick and battery stats. Then i flashed the rom.
Problem: While rebooting i got a bootloop. Even worse: i don´t get back in the xrecovery menu !!! I pushed the back button nearly 100 times but it doesen´t work.
Question: How can i get back in the xrecovery ?
Because you need nAa kernel and you need to flash the ROM in CWM recovery.
Sent from my X8 using XDA

Did you try to repair your phone via PCC or did you use SEUS ?
I was able to fix a bootloop with PCC

First of all,u can't be sure not to semi-brick yr phone again and yes u can flash any ICS roms..
But always read the OP(first post's) and last 3 pages in the thread of the ROM u want to flash,first to ensure how to flash without problems and last to read if any bugs is current in the ROM u are about to flash..
ALWAYS have nandroid backup(cwm) and backup your EFS folder(imei)using eg.EFS-pro or nitrality app(save this to your pc or dropbox) from market.
PS..always flash with a full battery
My phone is up now.

Read the first post in the thread. It's all there for you. If your phone is rooted and you have CWM (ClockWorkMod Recovery) installed, then do this (which is from the first post in that thread):
Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + format /system)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
Optionally install the Google Addon
WIPE again or Calendar Sync will not work.
Hello xda community,
First I have to say I'm french so sorry for my english
I really need your help. I've bought that phone TWO days ago and it already doesn't work. Lemme explain:
- I used DooMLoRD method to Root and install CWM (C5303 model with locked bootloader).
- I installed Xperia Pureness. Wiped System, Cache, Dalvik... It worked fine.
- But i after a few hours Home button didnt work eek so I decided to reflash the rom to reload the System UI. As I used to do with my HTC Sensation, i only wiped dalvik cache and cache for the 2nd flash (ERROR). I realised after have rebooted that i should have had wiped System too.
- It didnt boot since this 2nd flash.
- I've been trying to repair it for this ENTIRE day, nothing happens (pressed red button 5 secs, 10 secs, also tried to reflashed stock .254 ftf with FlashTool...), still can't access Home...
Can you devs find a solution? I really need to repair my phone, bought it 2 day ago :crying:
PS: it doesn't matter if i loose data on my phone
Reflash ROM and dont wipe cache and dalvik If that does not work you need to restrore the backup you made, or you can restore it with my easy restore guide i just made

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm always on bootloop, so can't even access CWM, is it still possible to flash a ROM, or access CWM? I've tried something like 10 times to reinstall stock ROM with FlashTool, still stuck at bootscreen.
I didnt think about making a backup

If you follow this guide i made: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476938
You will recover your device with an official Sony tool
After that you can try it again. Since im not into flashing custom ROMS at the moment i cant help you futher with it ( just being honest )
