[Q] Soft Brick help - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the gingerdx Rom and added some tweaks to make it faster, today when i reboot and chose CWM recovery then when it boots , it just boots to the "Sony Ericsson" logo(this is not a bootloop) which is suppose to boot to the funny looking android animation but it didn't. I took out my battery several times but still same thing stuck on the beginning logo "sony ericsson". I couldn't figure a way to fix it since I can't boot into Recovery and I can't mount my phone to Pc companion because the software said i have to click mount in order for that to work and now my phone is just stuck in the logo for so long.
Sorry for long paragraph but just want to be as detail as possible , does anyone know anyway how to fix this?

Use PCC o SEUS

While using PCC , you have to click on the "Repair Phone" option.
That should solve your problem.
Still if doesn't use SEUS

There is no phone repair because it detected no phone , and can you explain about SEUS or direct me the original post of it.

1.install the latest version of SEUS
2. Select your phone model
3.turn off your phone (take out the battery and put it back)
4.connect your phone while holding the back button)
5.select update (if it says your phone has the latest software press continue anyway )
6.wait (for me it took about half an hour)
7.reboot your phone

[Q] i need help (boot loop)

first i flashed stock kernel with flash tool and my 5-year-old cousin ran and clicked the optimize buton (i dont even know what that button does). my x8 rebooted and stuck in the boot loop (it shows the sonny ericsson logo(the text one) and the green one).i tried pc companion repair but it doesnt work. what can i do [and i cant access my xrecovery menu]
Turn off your phone go to SEUS update software....and press back button while you connect yourphone to pc.......
can you give me a link for seus (cant find on sony ericsson site it says not available)(and directs me for using pcc)
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...oads/subject/pccompanion/xperiax8?cc=hr&lc=hr
Just push green button...it is on croatian but when you install it you could change language...
ok but i said i tried pc companion repair but it doesnt work
It must work, just turn off your phone start pccompanion and start pressing back button when you connecting your phone to pc...do not stop doing it until pcc says so....
P.S. Search forum for universal kernel repairement tool...

if pcc or seus doesn't work for you, download stock rom. and use flashtool instead. just install pcc and flashtool drivers and follow the instructions.

Bricked phone?
I had the same problems the first time, i even had to take it back to where I purchased it since it had warranty, after they handed the phone again I stayed with the feeling that there was something I had to try I did it again and it stayed on the sonyericsson logo and didn`t enter the Xrecovery by pressing back button guess what I tried pressin the other buttons the menu and the home button and it enter the Xrecovery from there try doing a restore if you backedup your info if not you have to use flashtool and flash the rom
try going to Xperiax8(todo para este movil) and search Reparar Sony Ericcson Xperia X8 despues de Briqueo (repair phone after brick)
Recommended if you download a clean stock rom I used 1.6 donut and then installed the stock baseband 06 am pretty sure that flashtool has it if not follow this
download the stock firmware to your device and you are back in business
you may use flashtool to flash stock fw.now cwm may not works as it was on fw,
but my w8 is not in the list of phones in SEUS..............can i install by selecting x8..................plz reply fast

[Q] Unbricking problem

So I was stupid enough to reinstall busybox and bricked my xrecovery and ROM (FroyoBread v23b) but the problem is i can't unbrick it. Tried PCC which just says "there is no new software yet", SEUS just freezes on phone check and FlashTool seems to do it's job but after flashing my phone is still stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo. I'm currently out of ideas so any help would be much appreciated.
hey
i bricked my phone yesterday, this is how i unbricked it:
PCC>support zone>and pick the first one.
when it says no phone is connected press ''repair phone''
and follow the instructions.
leave thanks if helped

My X8 Stuck on "SONY ERICSSON" Text
Hey… I have Xperia x8
I read your post...
My Problem is similar to your Problem which happened to your phone!
When i am switching on my x8 it starts and gets hanged on the "SONY ERICSSON Logo"
My x8 is still on "SONY ERICSSON" Logo...and Nothing is Working out of it!
What i did:
I tried to install a ROM…
It said..."Successfully Installed new ROM"
Then, we all usually reboot our phone for better Use and hoping for a new start..i did the same
It got restarted but got hanged on "SONY ERICSSON" Text...i know that it takes a time of about 5-7 mins to come out from That LOGO....but i waited for more than 10 mins.
And then when i took out the battery to turn it off(It was the only way to switch off the phone by taking the battery out)
It restarted …but Then after That “Sony Ericsson” Text in showing up on the screen and nothing is happening when i am pressing & holding the Back button also.
Then for Turning off my Phone(To save my Battery)...The only thing i have to do is to Remove my Battery from the Phone.
This problem is continuing till today...its almost a week..i am trying to do some experiements...and trying some new methods searching up on the internet...checking youtube on videos for help....but nothing is happeneing for me...
I tried with the Flash Tool also…but Nothing is Happening
With the help of flash tool…it is Detecting my Phone but when i am going to Advanced Menu–Selecting Reboot–There comes 2 options
KERNEL and RECOVERY…i did both the Way..but not Rebooting…
In Logs…it says “Rebooting Your Phone”
BUT Nothing Happening After that “SONY Ericsson Text”.
I am fade up of this “SONY ERICSSON” Text
PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS Help me…!!!
i personally prefer using flashtool to go back to stock rom, then re-root and flash custom ROM. just search the files you need (it's pretty simple). BTW, did you wipe before/after flashing the rom??

If you have unlocked bootloader, flash other kernel, if you don't have use SE PC Companion. LOL your phone is stock not bricked. You can't turn on phone if it's bricked :laugh:
Relax,sit,open PC Companion, go to update service...

put in the firmware folder on Flashtool
- flash that kernel, so you get your phone in 2.1
- root your phone with flash tool by clicking the cross icon
-unlock bootloader (remember do not unlock BL for 11w29+)
- flash the kernel
- backup
- factory reset, wipe data, etc
- flash your ROM
Done! :laugh:
