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

flash this with flashtool and all over again.. rooting, recovery, baseband.. THEN you can install custom rom mate, and if you wanna flash custom kernel read some stuff before! its not so complicated if you know what you doing!

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?

Yesterday i tried to flash the latest minicm. The instructions in the thread told that i should flash a kernel first. I didnt and went ahead to flash the minicm. I flashed it and rebooted my device. The phone wouldnt open and is still stuck at the sony logo. I removed battery and tried to flash the kernel with with flashtool in flashmode but i was getting an error and couldnt flash it. I cant either open recovery by clicking the back button. I searched through some threads about bricked phones and i downloaded pc companion but couldnt work it out. I havent tried SEUS yet. Any ideas? Please answer asap
There are a lot of threads talking about stuck at SE logo.
Use SEUS. It's the best option you got
strange PCC didn't work for you... Did you opt for the "repair phone" option?? If not, opt for that and continue.... Worked for me.

After you boot Pc Companion, there's a "Support Zone" in the menu. Click on Begin/Start. Then click "Update Phonesoftware" and in the bottom there is "Repair your phone". Click on it and try those steps. They worked for me.
p.s, everything within "" quotes are translated from Dutch to English, they can be named otherwise in your version of pcc
Sorry guys my fault. I clicked at the support in pc companion but didnt see the repair link. Its downloading the update at the moment waiting to see results

At first latest minicm7 need nAa kernel.If u want little bit older version 2.0.7 (Android 2.3.5) i can upload for u , its working with stock kernel so u dont have to flash the kernel. Second is that if u want flash the kernel first must have unlocked bootloader (i think u dont have that unlocked).
At first resort ur phone using SEUS or PCC

Im not shure if u can do it but there is guide how to do it.
I was using it to unlock my bootloader , before u try unlocking ur bootloader read carefully the thread !: BEFORE YOU EVEN TRY ANYTHING, TAKE OUT YOUR BATTERY COVER, TAKE OUT YOUR BATTERY, AND CHECK YOUR MANUFACTORING DATE. IF IT IS 11W29 OR ABOVE, DO NOT TRY THIS AS IT WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE.
If ur phone is after 11W29 dont even try do it. But dont worry , i have minicm7 2.0.7 which works on stock so u can pm me
Ok phone works fine. I will search for threads on how to unlock bootloaders and attempt to do some stuff but always with caution. I will also pm you if i need anythign thanks for the help guys

Welcome ! You got your phone alive?
I have read a couple of threads regarding 'boot-loop' but I was never successful in finding a similar problem like mine.
Whenever I update my X8 from 1.6 to 2.1, my device goes to boot-loop. It loads till I get to the main screen, then freezes, then reboots again. It goes on until the battery dies.
I used flashtool, PCC, SEUS, but to no avail, the same issue persists. Does anyone know any other way to update my phone, or fix this issue? Am I stuck to the stock ROM 1.6?
Well i suggest you to download PC Companion to update your device.Its the safest way to do it and its easy.Follow the on screen instructions.Download it from here:

When I update using PC Companion (PCC) or Update Service (SEUS/US), the update successfully applies but when I turn on the phone, it loads a bit to the main screen, freezes, then goes to a boot-loop.
The same goes when I flash the stock ROM using flashtool, the same problem persists.

From your original post , I could gather that you tried fixing with PCC/SEUS/Flashtool. But did you try to update with both PCC and SEUS ?
Did you follow the instructions carefully when updating , like when and how long to hold the back button of your X8 while updating. When to connect you X8 to the computer etc

Repairing and updating with PCC/SUES is basically the same thing. It just skips the part where the phone has to be on and mounted.
And if he didn't didn't hold the button long enough or something the process wouldn't even start.
I think the X8 is just dodgy and the best bet would be to take it to a service center.
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
Maybe Wotan would work but that costs money AFAIK.
This is actually quite a peculiar situation. I'm not sure if anybody has ever come across this before.
Its strange because FlashTool works literally 100% of the time.
Your best bet ATM would be to visit a service center or Contact Sony Online.
Best of luck

Yes sir, this is one peculiar X8. I don't know if it's a software problem.
Anyways, thanks a bunch to all those who helped! Much appreciated.
Hi Xda members,
If your mobile has bricked. do the following step. and get back ur mobile back .
TUTORIAL:
Download the flashtool.Click here to download the flastool http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?uytbettmmeiuw2n
Download ROM Image X8_2.1.1 (2.1.1.C.0.0)_E15i.rar .Click here to download [URL="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?t5jusp8gzwqth2z"]http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?t5jusp8gzwqth2z
(then extract)
Password :thanks
3.Place ftf file in /firmwares directory of your flashtool.
4. Install drivers from /drivers directory
5. Prepare yourself - plug the USB cable to the computer and launch flasher.
6. Click "flash", choose your ROM from the list, Wait for instructions.
7. When the instruction pops up, press and hold "back" button on your X8 and plug the cable into it. Keep holding untill you see that flashing of files has begun(LED GREEN APPEARS) , then you may release it.
8. Flashing will take a while, you may observe the progress on a bottom bar. When it's finished you will be asked to plug off your device and reboot it.
10. If you wish to change baseband, clean firmware directory in flashtool and place baseband ftf file in it, then go through flashing procedure again.
11. If you try this correctly your phone will work again
Dont ask the question again and again.......

Hey, thanks a lot man, after bricking my phone several times and use ur guide to unbrick it. I manage to explore more bout new rom and kernel...
And why should anybody flash back to stock? If u soft brick ur phone u should just reflash the rom that ur using right now...
I guess this is only the solution for "SOFT" brick.
Does it can make phone error sometime? Or not easy to use like before? Thanks...

No error..once you flashed your phone you can get ur old ROM android 2.1.
Easy to use.No bugs....!
If u r going to install any custom rom don't forgot to root and xrecovery....
I always preferred Companion, and you just connect, but if you're in trouble the Flashtools is a good choice :laugh:

Bro, in a soft brick you can't enter to Recovery mode. That's why we use Flashtool.

Lately, when i charge my device, it didn't reboot, but when i didn't charge the phone, on some point my device reboot and reboot again and the battery went down to +/- 2-15%

Lately, when i charge my device, it didn't reboot, but when i didn't charge the phone, on some point my device reboot and reboot again and the battery went down to +/- 2-15%
What is really happen to my device ?? Is it battery problem or RAM problem ???
Sorry for my bad english, i am a newbie in this forum...
Thx for your help ..

i've tried it, but no luck....
or maybe i am right, the problem is the battery or the RAM...
cause it happen when i listening a web radio and charging my phone....
that time my battery is full but i forget to unplug it, and when it happen, the battery is enough hot....
or maybe my cache memory, that is used by a web radio application is full....
is any of that possible ??

When you close your phone the ram clears,which means there is no way you have this problem caused by ram..

Sony Ericsson X8 Bootloop
Hey I will tell you what to do.
First of all install Sony Ericsson Update Service or SEUS. Just Google it and you can find it easily!
Now connect your phone to your computer via USB cable.
Start SEUS.
Then follow the on-screen instructions.(You will be asked to select your phone model,update or repair your phone etc)But its easy!!!!!
Then leave the rest to SEUS.
It will first repair your phone,then download the stock rom and kernel and also the baseband and will automatically install them.
After that you will have your X8 on stock rom,it will be updated to the latest baseband and kernel.
Hope it works for you.

it happens to me also.but the only solution that i got to fix is reflashing a X8_E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.ftf. :laugh: i fix my bootloop

For my case, it will bootup with 1.6 stock rom, the baseband will be stated unknown, but it still can call and receive SMS...
Any rom that is above 2.1 won't be able to boot, that include stock 2.1 and any custom rom...
It only can be repaired by SE i think (or maybe JTAG )...
So in the end i gave up the phone and sold it at a cheap price to a friend and he took it to SE for repair, the phone comes back with stock 2.1 ROM
but the camera and vol button are not working, most probably damaged by the repair guy in SE...
Btw, any one knows what causes the baseband to gone like that?
