Please help a desperate x8 fellow!!!
The thing is like this:
My black X8 has been working great so far, I've realy abused it, installed 2.2 then 2.3 roms then factory reset it and then modified the stock rom till it was custom... but one day I "accidentally" onporpouse... (long story) FORMATED SYSTEM...
I know thats very stupidumb but well... so it won't allow me to install anything but 1.6, did this from flashtool pccompanion wont repair it: "there is no update for your phone yet, check later" or something, same with SEUS, rooted 1.6, installed Xrecovery, tried 2.1 stock roms and nothing it just enters loop restarts.
Im beggining to grow some love for 1.6 and that is just wrong... can somebody help me? PLEASE.
More info: the screen in "sony-ericcson" logo not the animated one and brightnes is very dimmed like 10% or so.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
You can use pccompanion to repair your x8
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
ThankU
Thanks for the quick answer,
Already try that via update and repair phone (phone in flash mode), also with SEUS none of those worked for my, I'm guessing I messed with something that cannot be detected by pccompanion since it tells me "there is no update for your phone yet keep trying" or some thing like that.
But my real worries began when even xrecovery could give me back my precious 2.1 backup, I have a backup for the stock rom and one from a moment i consider the phone was running smootly, but none boots just loop-restarts.
Maybe there is something Im Missing, Would win xp make a diference in the repairing process? since my main pc is on win7.
Sorry for the messy english.
Thanks in advance.

Download the baseband 015 for your device,
Flash it via flashtool.
Be careful,if your device is x8i,dont flash x8a's baseband.
Thanks a lot¡¡¡
THAT WORKED¡¡¡ IT WAS THE BASEBAND AFTER ALL.
Man thank u very much¡¡¡ RELLY where is the thanks buton I press that will give u a brand new ferrari?
Just Flashed the baseband ftf file with flastool and installed 2.1(W8 rom actualy... It works great again.
I hope this tread will help those in need.
LESSON LEARNED:
DO NOT FORMAT SYSTEM
ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS OF EVERYTHING YOU PLAY WITH
READ ABOUT BASEBAND BEFORE FREAKING OUT
ALWAYS WITH A CONDOM...

Sent from my X8 using Tapatalk
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

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?

Did you try PC Companion to repair the phone?
If so... do you know how to do that? I'm saying this because I bricked my phone once and I didn't knew hot to use th "repair" option. Only after a big search I found a step by step tutorial on how to do that...
Two week ago when i played radio from an application on my device while charging it, suddenly my device reboot and reboot again...
Then i was trying reset all data but the problem still exist...
So i followed some guide from this forum by rooting and flashing it using flashtool and using new firmware from provide link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19684920#post19684920 and http://www.mediafire.com/?d3pobqqc3py66#4c02265ox4l1r )
and the problem was still the same, reboot and reboot again, so i tried using PCC and SEUS but it didn't change anything..
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 ???

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.

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?
