[HELP] A weird brick.. - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
First, put my phone (Xperia X8) 2.0.1 -> 2.1update1 (latest version), second, rooted it, third, watched the *W** under battery to see if i can unlock bootloader. It was W02 so no problem. Unlocked bootloader successfully ! Installed GinderDX and here...
My phone boot with GinderDX logo but after the "Sony Ericsson" logo appear 1/2 and my phone shutdown. Sometimes i can get flash mode for some secs, but can't use FlashTools/PC Compagnion and sometimes able to get Xrecovery.
PLEASE HELP ME!

Low battery?

Reflash ROM
I had a similar problem with my GingerDx v21
I re-flashed the ROM and it worked fine. No need to change your kernel.
Just do a factory wipe and reflash your ROM
doesn't help again error during connection -.-'' hate this.
I have the same problem, I haven't figured out: why?
It's so wrong.
This is the best kernel, but the wifi doesn't work. Youtube + android market kills the wifi immediately :S
I'm using Official 2.1-Update 1 and the Wifi really sux.

As our dear RC , Chris , mentioned. Use Search next time.
Anyways , to answer your questions :
1. I found CM7 ROMS like GingerDx/PrimeHD the best of all I tried. But I recommend you to try both ROMS as user experience is different for everyone.
2. It is safe to unlock bootloader if your phone code is before 11W29. I am almost sure simlock status does NOT matter in unlocking bootloader.
3. Root the X8. Flash CWM. Flash ROM
4. To flash back stock , use PCC/SEUS. You'll get back to stock eclair.
5. The code is under the battery (but not on the battery)
thx. these are the steps in the good no.?
1. root
2. unlock bootloader
3. flash kernel
4. flash cwm (how to flash it?)
5. install zip n wipe data cache

no because you gonna brick it
okie ....thx...i asked because you know once without reading the warnings provided i unlocked my bootloader but i was lucky enough that my phone did not brick but the phone did not detect my network signal.....my sim was not being detected so i again flashed my stock rom by SEUS and then everything was fyn again.....
So i thought there might be a solution for that so i asked you....

1. Use flashtool and flash to stock.
2. If you want 4.0.0 you should 1st look at the system requierments(kernel, bootloader).

[Q] Soft bricked X8

Hi guys. Today I tried upgrading GingerDX from v030 to v031b but I mistakenly downloaded (and flashed) Alfs/nAa instead of Stock kernel.
Now the phone screen won't pass the Sony Ericsson boot scree... I can't find the key combinations to enter into CWM recovery menu. Is there any other way I can flash the proper ROM using Flashtool? I found this guide but I don't want to go back to the stock kernel (if possible).
Thank you!
You mean to. Say stock rom??
You are already on stock kernel...
& no other option you must follow that guide if you can't unlock bootloader!
see boot animation without rebooting

Right, I already have the stock kernel, but I flashed Alfs/nAa ROM instead of the Stock one (from the download options) and now the phone won't pass the bootloader... Will try that guide since I can't enter CWM recovery using the key combinations I found

sorry for my baddest english.
I re-installed 2.1 e15a stock kernel, then xRecovery and tried with 31b and 30 to no avail (SE -> GingerDX logo loop).
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...

1. Use CWM to flash GDX!
2. Wipe dalvik cache that you forgot..

Where can I downloadCWM? I couldn't find it and that's why I used xrecovery

Will xtoolbox do the job?
It I'll be great if everything comes from one place instead of having to root using guide A, install CWM from guide B to end up using XDA's guide to install GDX. Just un idea, specially for noobs

Well, when I softbricked my X8, I never used my PC to unbrick it. I will just go into the recovery and flash a working rom. Problem solved..
But I can't figure out why he is sayig he can't go into the recovery. The button patterns remains the same no matter what rom you are on or what kernel you use. But I can be wrong.
Anyway did you do all these steps:
# Wipe Full System
# Wipe Cache, Dalvik-Cache
These steps are very important. But we often forget them.
Dude.....
Sometimes can't get into recovery while on stock kernel

If he downloaded for custom kernel ...
he can't see the GDX logo
only 'Sony Ericsson'

We dont see the sony ericsson logo on custom kernels..
it is seen only on stock kernel.
so there is a high possibility that op downloaded the wrong rom..

if you use rom for stock kernel you can see the GDX logo...that is part of boot animation. alfs shows WLAN version not GDX. the Sony Ericsson logo is of stock kernel. so if you flash a rom for custom kernel you will still see that logo
it is possible (as dagger said) that OP downloaded rom for custom kernel.
