Help me (and my son and his X8) please!
My son rooted his X8, and at last it just shows the "Sony Ericsson" text.
He did the following (wrote to me ):
- root it with SuperOneClick
- reboot
- intsall RootExplore.apk
- reboot
- root.jag confused
- reboot
- install Xrecovery
- reboot
- update it to CMWrecovery
- made a backup to Sd card
- factory reset (accidentally)
- recover
- reboot
... and it doesn't work (bootloop? I just read it in this therads.)
What could he do?
Did he upgraded the baseband? to xx15?
Oh and if the device is not working, i mean, it cant turn on (just se logo and reboot) . He should repair his X8 with Sony Ericsson PC companion.
Cheers.
did you have baseband 015.if it is bricked you can use pc companion or seus (sony ericsson update service) it will probaly break the root because it is a manual update with sony ericsson but it should help
Thank you, we will give it a try.

Thanks. My son rebuild it with PCC to 2.1. It worked well.
And then he tried to upgrade it to 2.3, so it has gone to "can't turn on, because it turning off everytime", some panic, and he rebuilded it's with SEUS to 2.1.
I sad "now just relax don't try another root please",,,
So that's all.
Thanks a lot.

Maybe someone can help me, I installed a new firmware(MiniCM7 2.1.5) on my X8 in CWM. After the reboot the screen stays permanent on 'Sony Ericsson'. I even can not come in CWM anymore. Can somebody help me with this? Thanks!
edit : I even can not put it off anymore, it stays on the Sony Ericsson screen, the only thing I can do is disconnect the battery

Both SEUS and PCC don't work. They don't see the phone when I connect it with the USB. The phone 'hangs' when the 'Sony Ericsson' words appear on the screen after I put on the phone. I don't even can switch it off, only when I get the battery out. Anybody who can help me with this?
edit : After several times it worked! Thanks Nelikp
Use flashtool,it will work.

EDIT: SOLVED THANKS TO damir87
Ok guys, after a lot of research and messing up I ended up needing to ask for help.
I started trying to install cyanogen mod 9 (Android 4.0.3) where everything was going fine, but when I flashed the kernel with the "Custom Gingerbread kernel nAa-11" and installed the cyanogen 9 ROM with xRecovery, but when I started the phone (And it's still like this ATM) after the Sony Ericson logo, it appears the XPERIA logo with the lighting animation, it does the animation about 3 - 4 times and freezes after that and stays there, sometimes it does the animation 3 times, disappears and appears the logo again and then freezes.
I realized this happened because I didn't unlock bootloader. I can actually check the bootloader and I get the message that says it's locked but you can unlock it but to unlock it I have to have it turned on with USB debugging on.
Also, sometimes when I try to flash it again, after connecting it and the green light turning on it says I have plugged the device in flash mode, then it says I unplugged it and tells me that an error occurred, then the phone boots up by it-self.
BTW I'm a bit newbie in the section of "flashing" and the kernel and the baseband stuff, I'm not sure if with flashing, you flash the kernel, the baseband, or the ROM it-self, or even if you can install a ROM with the flashtool with the phone on flashmode.
BTW I can't access xRecovery.
- SEUS Says my phone is already up to date and all I can do is click finish.
- PCC Says there's not software available for my phone.
WHAT WOULD BE PERFECT TO FIX THIS:
A way to change the ROM to the android 2.1.1.C.0.0 without booting the phone(in flash mode).
HOW I SOLVED IT
-I simply downloaded this stock ROM (2.1.1.C.0.0): http://www.mediafire.com/?eca0sualnao4c4c
-Then just used flashtool V0.2.9.1 (I think it's important that you use that exact version): https://rapidshare.com/#!download|5...|62602|R~5490459C5764641D4665C046409A620A|0|0
(Sorry for rapid**** host, couldn't get any better)
After that it took the phone about 5~ mins to start up after the 2nd SE logo.
Again thanks to damir87!
I was newbie too , but reading threads helped , use SEUS Sony PC Companion to restore to stock.

Thanks for the reply, but Sony PC Companion needs the phone to be ON and on debug mode, actually I can't fully boot the phone and SEUS gets stuck on "checking connection to the phone" or something like that.
Also PCC says there's no available updates for the phone. <.<
Turn off phone , then do what seus asks

When i used seus i had right down a button option to reflash.

Even I HATE rapidshare, hotfile, depositfile, share and uploading, I'll trust you and hope it works .
With this you say it'll do everything?
Even the rooting while on flashmode? and instal xRecovery?
Remember I can't access the phone.
BRB In 3 hours with the ****ty 30kb/s, gonna practice shuffle.
This file is stock 2.1 for x8 so when you flash this your phone will not be rooted and will not have recovery installed, thats you gonna do after flashing stock rom! btw B.Jay is write nice and detailed tutorial so you can follow these steps to make your phone work!

Oh, ok great, and when flashing this it will install the default ROM and remove the android 4.0.3 ROM right?
EDIT: I already did that tutorial, when I tried to flash the phone with the 2.1.1.C.0.0, it gave me an error saying it can't prepare the files for the flashing, any idea?

please i need your help because my wife will kill me.

Hi all!
I did a big mistake some days ago.... I was updating my X8 from GingerDX 28 to 29 and some problem occured that my X8 didn't boot anymore, so I tried to flash with SEUS and PC Companion to get back the original ROM... But they doesn't work either. So I tried to start again, but this time I did some stupid, I used the X10 ftf from Flashtool to flash my X8!!! After that, it doesn't turn on, dont even light the LED when charging or connected using USB to PC. If a press turn on button in the top, it doesn't do anything and doesn't vibrate... Connecting using USB, windows doesn't identify that my X8 is there...
What can a do? Did I kill my X8?!?!?
Sorry my english...

I think you hard bricked your x8, because no response to on button is sign of hard bricking.

What I can do now? It means that there's no solution?
You either hard bricked it(I don't think so) or its just out of battery.
Charge it for an hour and flash the x8 ftf this time

Your right. The only way to fix it is using JTAG. I sent to a repair shop, they did the magic! Now it is in the way back from the shop by post mail. When I get it I will tell here if it's ok.

Make FTF Dump From X8
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a dump from a X8 that is currently in use, with the phones complete data (apps + info + settings )
in effect, a nandroid for use with Flashtool ?
I am thinking of using this method in replacement of nandroids because of the recovery being stored in the system partition and I have had problems with them before - usually MD5 mismatch errors.
you have hard bricked your phone !

I am looking at flashtool as a replacement to nandroid backup??
You can make flashtool .sin/.ftf files from nandroid backups. But these flashtool packages will work only with unlocked bootloader/patched loader, because you can make the .sin headers but can't reproduce the security signatures, so with locked bootloader better if you forget it...

I tried unlock bootloader before, using the main guide on here, but it kept bricking ?
The build is lower than the number advised to not use so I don't know what happened. I just had to keep trying, then recovering with SEUS.
Any help mate would be amazing as I am sick of being stuck on Stock 2.1-update1 and stock kernel, it limits the phones abilities so much!! argh!
