7.Flash baseband
8.Disconnect and restart
9.Done

thx..

guys, if let's say i installed a custom rom, and without having the kernel which is needed for the rom and i cant get into recovery mod, is there anyway to repair this? and also i didn't unlock the bootloader.. any help?? please? one more thing, the debugging mode is off. so i can't transfer files through flashtool. That happens because the custom rom cannot be booted up and therefore i cant select debugging mode on~

My fellow Malaysian, just which ROM you are trying to install? many custom ROMs doesn't need custom kernel, so you don't have to install and unlock the bootloader!
Since you have installed the custom kernel( assuming it required the custom kernel), use flashtool to install the custom kernel for it to work!
Please remember for custom kernel like aNa, you need to unlock the bootloader, pls check the date of manufacturing first, Otherwise you may break your phone

It is a soft brick. Recover via PCC/SEUS

Did you make a full wipe before flashing the ROM ? If not , do it next time

I know you're problem! Some roms will disable recovery (for example: ICS for stock)
To fix this, Download X8Toolbox:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
You will need to have the drivers for your X8 Phone (download on sony's website)
You can install them through device manger!
Now open x8 toolbox, and install a recovery. You can choose
Good luck! after the installation your phone should be able to go to recovery!
I'm new to XDA!
Please press the "thanks" button if i helped!

it really helped
i want to know what stock kernel mean and how i can make latest kernel to my phone to install new ROM avoiding soft brick

???
i don't know waht stock kernel mean but i know how to install custom kernel
you will need flashtool and kernel that you want to installl
move kernel in firmwares in flastool folder
tha n run flashtool and turn off phone
go to flash and choose your kernel than press ok and connect you phone with pc in flash mode tha nafter the procces is done turn on phone and press back button until you go into xrecovery or CWM....
then flash to ROM
remember to do a full wipe
or in case of installing alfs kernel
flash latest version and install update adreno libs and other stuff unless it won't work ok...
press thanks if i helped

I think you are confused...
Take it from the start, its not necessary that you have brick when you install custom rom with stock kernel. If you have stock kernel you will search for roms which are for stock kernel..as simple as that...if you want to install custom kernel you have to unlock bootloader which is very risky and can't be done to all x8. If you want to check it take off your battery, there will be a code on your phone( no the one on battery) if it is under 11w29 then congrats you are from the lucky one that can unlock bootloader.
*stock kernel mean the original kernel that the phone have when you buy it

[Q] How do i solve this? VIDEO ADDED...

I got a X8 that has been bricked, but the phone still haven't reach me yet...
Last time i posted my topic here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688987

This is the info from the thread i posted at the wrong section
Code:
Hi all...
My friend sent his X8 to a phone shop to get it updated to android 2.3.7 and ended up with a bricked phone cause by that phone shop.
Now, which according to him stuck at the white "Sony Ericsson" logo...Which i know is a soft brick and most probably can be saved by flashing it with PCC or SEUS or FlashTool.
I have ask him to flash it with SEUS or FlashTool, but not successful, still stuck on the SE logo, i doesn't know weather he do it wrongly or does not has any patient...
I gonna buy this phone from my friend, and repair the phone myself.
I want to ask u guys is there any other reason for the phone to stuck at the SE logo other than bricked phone? Could it be a hardware prob?
8/6/2012 UPDATE:
Just now my fren turn on the X8, it stuck at the white "Sony Ericsson" text, and after a moment, the phone reboot itself and stuck at there again and reboot itself again and again...
guys, based on the latest update from my friend, can this phone be saved?
And do share some experience if u do encounter such prob...
9/6/2012 UPDATE:
This morning i trying to flash my phone again...
I flash it with android 1.6 stock ROM (1.3.A.0.62) and it would boot up normally...
I also try to update the phone from 1.3.A.0.62 to 2.1.1.A.0.6 by using PCC, but also remain the same...
Then i flash it with FlashToool using 2.1 stock ROM (2.1.1.A.0.6 and 2.1.1.C.0.0) it would ended up like this see the video below
My X8 with 2.1 stock rom:
What type of brick is this?
Thanks...
Cheers...
And have a nice day

after that i flash it with 2.1.1.A.0.6 stock rom, and it stuck at the white SE logo and keep rebooting...
Help guys...

I dont really know bout the condition. Usually works with seus or flashtool. Maybe something has been changed, like kernel or/and baseband. Maybe u would need to flash stock kernel and baseband too. Try flashing them and hope it ll work.

try this X8_E15_2.1.1.C.0.0_generic.ftf.7z
Make sure your flashtool is at it's lastest version
Flashtool-0.6.9.1-windows.exe
Tips: Just double click the firmware during flashing operation and ignore second second windows that shows information about the .tft package & press ok

maybe you flash wrong kerne dude!
maybe you can try this :
flash downgrade ftf..like x8 generic and you got your phone on 2.1
then root, unlock bootloader..
ow yeah, you can install recovery from Flash tool..
next
flash ics kernel, backup
factory reset, flash ROM

Thanks for your quick reply...
how can I root, unlock bootloader install recovery from Flash tool factory reset, flash ROM... etc.. since now I can't get into ClockworkMod Recovery mode when I press the Back button before Sony Ericsson logo during boot up????

Before you flash into ics, what rom you're using?
maybe you can flash it first .
Or
Like I say..flash the x8 generic..so you downgrade your phone
After that you can to root etc

Have you succeeded in unlocking you're bootloader.. if yes..
you can try flashing the kernel again..
I would recommend iscreemdx with alfs kernel..

okay...
if you're still confuse, downgrade your phone!
its last option
downgrade into 2.1 - download this file from files crop X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf
root your phone by flash tool..
then install xrecovery by clicking cross icon on flashtool
OR
download this file (password=cintaindonesia) and extract in your SDcard
after that copy paste three files(busybox, chargemon, xrecovery.tar) in system\bin
and you will get xrecovery
after that
unlock bootloader using flashtool OR s1tool
Flash the latest ICS kernel
backup
factory reset, wipe data, etc
Flash ROM

You can use Flashtool to flash a stock ROM and act like nothing happened..

If you can still go to cwm by pressing back button while boot then you can get a rom that works on stock kernel on to your sd card and flash it or if u have back up then just reatore it..
Or
If u can't go to cwm then flash stock rom .Ftf file available in our development section and flash it..
