Did you use the latest version of superoneclick ? Try different versions , and see.
Still if you can't root , then
I don't know but maybe the X8toolbox may help.
Although I do NOT know for sure if it will or will not work. You can try.

You may as well root with puppett13th's x8toolbox.
I just rooted my friend's X8 with it.

try to flash the kernel again
or
dont forget to wipe dalvik cache after flash kernel
then Flash ROM

Try with latest flashtool.
It's 100% working
Officially corp via w8

i dont know how to use flashtool..is there guideline or instruction set to be followed, then it will be more helpful..to start wifi again.

@bosky_itsme
You only can flash a kernel If u have unlocked your bootloader.
There is a guideline for how to use flashtool to Flash roms, kernel..etc
Search in General Section.
For your WiFi problem,
flash your rom again or do a factory reset. If it wouldn't solved the problem, see for the bugs GDX v21b thread.
Good Luck to you.
@OP
Have you installed the drivers?
If even superoneclick (latest) doesn't work for you, then try to use X8toolbox or Flashtool
Good Luck.

Have a look below at the thread in my signature..

Maybe, you should root your phone again. From the beginning
Use SEUS software to go back to original firmware and root again,
install xrecovery and flash GingerDX
I guess this is the best way to have GinderDX
i agree with malungkot . Reflash with SEUS then root, install xrecovery and install latest DX.

I tried v012 .. it installed without any problems.. wht is d diff between v12 n v13???? Should I be satisfied with v12 or go fr all thse process again n get v13??? Is it worth it??
Dude, youre one of these 1000 people how are to proud to search -.-
First restore your phone via seus. Then root and install of xrecovery.
If you want to install GingerDx read the Thread. For the differences of v12 and v13 read the thread.
By the way. V13 is working quite fine

[Q] w8 custom roms??

hello everyone!!
i just got myself a SE w8 .. i rooted it and installed x recovery... now my question is can i use custom roms for x8 on my w8.. which of the gingerbread custom roms have all things working with minimal bugs.. I read somethings and i felt ginger dx to be almost fully functional.. I would appreciate if someone can hellp me please..
Everything that applies for the X8 applies for the W8 too. They are pretty much the same phone.
they have identical hardware so means what is applicable to X8 will be applicable to W8. they were like twins.. ^^
proven and tested by me!

I had the same problem and I tried and succeeded by doing following steps:
go to xrecovery,
select '- Backup and restore' > '- Advanced Restore' > backup from list > '- Restore boot'
Thats all - repeat by selecting different backup with the above steps until you succeed.

[Q] Error while installing custom roms

On my Sony Ericsson W8 I can't install kyuaDroid, GingerXperia, MiniCM and etc. I can only install GingerDX and FroyoBread. When I try to install the roms which I mentioned above all (except GingerDX and FroyoBread) are giving error like this " This rom is not compactable with your baseband. Update first to M7XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015".
But I have the SAME baseband.
How to solve it ?
My W8 is rooted and has Unlocked bootloader. What should. I do ? I should change kernel ? Or something?
As I'm a noob I don't know How to solve this.. So please help me as soon as possible.
Wow, no one replied? I'm having the same problem mate...

some roms need to be installed with cwm not xrecv, and custom kernels too, perform a fullwipe before and after flashing any rom
I found the same problem. I use CWM and it works for me fine in installing different ROM's

No 3g signal after successful unlock GDX | alfs | 015

Hey guys. Sorry if this is the wrong section.
I have an e15a xperia x8 11v14 (perfectly unlockable)
The thing is that i wanted to update to gingerdx v28 from scratch so i went back to stock settings ( rom 2.1, no addons, original baseband, etc).
I followed all the steps to do a clean install
Installed e15a 015 baseband
Unlocked the phone with s1tool and msm7227_semc (before doing this it still showed e15a model, after this it started showing e15i)
Installed alfs kernel
Installed rom Gingerdx
Installed addons
blah blah
Pretty straight forward :good:
Now the thing is that i dont have 3g signal at all, so i went to check the baseband and it was half correct, like i said before it ended in 015 but my model said it was an e15i. Correct me if i'm wrong but i think e15i are models from europe so that would explain why 3g would't work (i'm from south america).
I tried to restore the phone using seus or pcc, with no luck (it kept saying that my phone was updated ).
I got all stock kernels, roms, basebands from stickies in XDA so i don't think that could be the problem.
Somehow AFTER i unlocked the phone the model changed and i cant change it back (tried rooting, flashtool, relock and so on)
Everything else works like a charm, very smooth, very fast, no complaints.
Any ideas about how change with another method cuz now i can't go back to my original e15a model.
PS: apn settings are OK too
Well i dunno if somehow this will be useful to anyone but i SOLVED the problem.
These are the steps i followed (IN THIS EXACT ORDER)
Before unlocking it root it with flashtool
Verify with s1tool it's locked (here's the post i used to do the unlocking http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436957)
If everything is cool proceed to this:
install baseband 015 (for e15a model in my case)
install alfs kernel (latest for GDX)
install rom (latest GDX)
install alfs addon
full wipe
wipe davilk cache
wipe battery cache
enjoy
Anyway thanks to all for reading this post, hope it helps to people with my same problem.
PROBLEM SOLVED

Hey pal !
If you bricked your phone you should check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071
About the baseband, first u should check which baseband is correct for you. Phones in America use different frequency ranges than phones in Europe so, to begin with i'd need u to tell me where the phones was sold...anyway, most cooked roms need 015 baseband to be flashed instead of the 006. Check in your phone settings if your device model is E15a (a is for America) or E15i (i is for International, but mostly Europe).
For example: if your phone is E15a you should flash E15a_X8a_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015 in order to install any cooked rom.
You can find almost everything you'll need here

Hello,
I have no problem with 3G, but problem with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, both not running. I have a Xperia X8 e15a, with Cyanogenmod 7.1 and FXP030 kernel, do I need to install stock kernel?
Or if I install Alfs kernel would it slove my problem?
My smatphone was unlock successful, from 11W12.
Thanks.

If I were you i'd set everything to stock (kernel, rom and so on -REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR DATA BEFORE-) and retake all the steps to do a clean install according to the original post requirements. Check your corresponding ROM post
Hope it helps

Hello Destroseitor,

Ok I will set everything to stock, and than can I install the updated rom like Cyanogenmod 7.1(or could be GingerDX)?
Thanks.

Hey buddy
I strongly recommend gingerdx, it's the most stable rom i've tested and you have the choice to use a stock kernel or a modded one (like alfs or naa), plus there's a great guide to install it. Everything you need to do the correct steps is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486
