now its rooted and i want to install different roms what should i do i mean what should be my next step? should i install Clockwork Mod recovery if yes then how??

Next Step
If you just wanted to install ROM's then you didn't have to unlock boot loader
you could have just rooted it using superoneclick or the way you did and install a recovery by following the link in the following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921652
then press backspace during load to enter recovery , full wipe(if your now in stock rom)and install custom.zip or update.zip of any rom you like(that works on stock kernel) and reboot.
But since you are unlocked...you can install a better faster kernel like naa or alf
by following the thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350484
(you search for alf yourself in development forum)
and then install a rom that uses these kernel the same way using recovery or flash tool if you hav ".ftf"

1 more thing i want to install Clockwork mod instead of xrecovery how to do that ?
2ndly in order to check bootoader on HTC cellphone we press power button + volume down button
how to check bootloader on X8?

Never Installed Clock Work Mod
I have Never Installed Clock Work Mod...but it always seems to come with all ROM's I install. First I install xrecovery and install any popular ROM....n then TADAA i have CW MOD
Anyway you can install it using x8 toolbox by going here,

On PC: Go to Alfs kernel thread--> download Alfs v07 kernel--> place it to /flashtool/firmwares, run flashtool, select flash (lightning icon), select Alfs v07, click ok. On phone: Turn off phone, press back button and hold it, attach phone to PC while pressing back button, green led appears, release back button, let the PC work. When Flashtool give the "flashing finished" message, unplug the phone. Turn it on. When it shows kernel logo, press back repeatedly to enter recovery. Install custom.zip, choose your ROM, wait, reboot.
This should work. If not, try PC companion or Sony Ericcson Update Service.

i tried but its not working on the other hand Sony Ericcson Update Service do not detect X8 so now what ?

XPERIA X8 boot problem

I installed ICS on my XPERIA X8 and it freezes at boot. And I cannot go to recovery mode, where is my backup. I know I need to use FlashTool but I don't know how to use it, because it says:

03/021/2012 15:21:53 - INFO - Device disconnected
And I cannot flash the original image.
Hot to connect the phone?
With " Press and hold back button then plug in the usb cable"?
Now I can flash it but it isn't reboot just say device disconnected, then device connected in flash mode, then device disconnected, then flashing aborted

nearly the same problem here trying to unlock the bootloader on my E15i.
Would appreciate if anyone has a suggestion how to overcome this.Thanks

Try this

IF you have stock ROM for X8, you can flash with flash tool..
the first, hold volume down in your phone and plug usb kabel to computer..
see your phone have green light, its flash mode.. )
and then go to flash tool, and all its works..

.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

What?! First of all - not volume down but BACK button.
In flashtool directory You will have drivers folder. Install those drivers. Then reboot Your PC. Copy Your firmware package into firmwares in flashtool directory (.ftf files). Than run flashtool, click on flash, choose the package, click ok, flashtool will aks You to connect Your phone in flash mode. Plug USB cable into PC. Plug in USB cable into phone and while doing this You must hold back button. And flashtool should recognize Your device and start flashing.

Thank you! You saved my phone's life!
I'm trying GingerDX now, and I making an ''XPERIA X8 MEGAPACK''

Anyway, I do not know why this is:
When I first installed gingerDX i have installed many apps. And when I'll removed this backup, and I installed this rom again, the phone freezes at the boot screen.
(I know how to do it. I flashed the stock rom from my backup, and It is working. But I cannot make a backup from this rom

Because You should do a full wipe When You install ROM again there are some files from old one. And this may cause boot problem

Hi, I've tried this but it doesn't work. My phone just keeps rebooting itself after SE logo animation is done. What can i do?

Boot prroblem ICS
I've tried ICS for stock kernel, but it isn't boot! But i want to try it!

Dude... just flash a stock SE rom via Flashtool and its done

Generally speaking, bootloops imply you are missing the x15 Baseband required for custom ROMs to work: Follow the mediafire link in B.Jay's profile and find the x15 Baseband corresponding to your X8 version (It's in the sticker under the battery)... Hope this helps.
EDIT: Update your FlashTool Version!!!! http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/

Keep volumm down and connect your phone to computer >> open PC companion >> click on Support Zone >> Click on Phone Software update >> Click Repair >> Wait till it done . Try it's . Good luck .

the best method is download SONY UPDATE SERVICE software to your pc. after installing update service, turnoff your mobile then press and hold the volume down key , and connect it with your pc. (even if your phone is not charged no problem ). release the volume down key when the on screen instruction says it. after that if the system says your phone has latest software, then select reinstall the software. wait until it finish. thats all.

dont do too more
just power off ur sp bu stick the reset button in the backcover,and power on,see what happen,take it easy and carefully

Unable to access xRecovery after restore process

Hello,
After flashing this ROM I rebooted my device then it stuck to Sony Ericsson splash screen; I tried to skip it but unfortunately I couldn't so removed the battery then tried to access xRecovery as usually but I couldn't do that!!!
My Phone now is a brick and I hopeful to get some help from you to access xRecovery to be able to flash another ROM doesn't broke my device.
The original installed ROM is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955467 ;it was working well but it's working under Android 2.1 while I'm looking for much modern version of Android for that I tried to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575094
I suspect that using xRecovery instead of CWM is the main reason of breaking my device but this is very late because I did my stupid move and the disaster done:crying:

1. The rom you flashed is for custom kernels, your phone is bricked because you flashed it on stock kernel
2. U shouldn't be using xrecovery, its outdated, use CWM

Thanks a lot, the issue was related to old version of Flashtool; after using flashtool-0.9.13.0-linux.tar.7z with USB drivers as mentioned in this post; everything went perfectly.
Thanks once agian for help and I wish you best.
BTW, I want to use Android 4.0 or newer; may you please advice me which ROM is better.

Try different jelly bean roms...
Everyone has different setup and different experience, try it yourself.
And on our x8, 4.0 is heavier than 4.1 so I recommend to use jelly bean

Actually I want to use Android 4.0 or newer because some used apps (ex. ownCloud) need a newer version than 2.1 and because 2.1 is very slow with my contacts (about 1500 contact). So I want to know before flashing a new ROM if it will fix these two issues or not.

Restore the system. Use Sony PC Companion. And when you install, root and cwm.
Saludos.
EDIT:
When you install the drivers, it must be in usb debugging mode. Delete in windows system administration and connects to your pc othertime, but as you can't enter the system, you can't do it.
The restoration process is long. Pc Companion download the rom and then is installed. Make sure the phone has at least 30% battery (for internet download speed of 10mb), more is better. If you are in bootloop when you recharge or if you can't recharge, don't waste battery, located where is the option in PC Companion and when you have controlled, do it.
Good Luck.

Forget about PC Companion.
First totally disable PC Companion and then try with Flashtool again. I mean While using Flashtool PC Companion will b disabled in ur PC. Try it..
If u have C5302 Firmware means flash that.. Its very very easy bro. Dont know what happens with u .. try again the way i told

Guys problem solved
Did a factory reset and kept for charging for 1 hour
Fone restrtd automaticaly.
Thanks

To get it to C5302, just edit build.prop :wink:
