X8 Stop At "Sony Ericsson" Logo

Formatted /system, /data, /cache and reboot. Thats why stuck at sony ericsson logo. xRecovery doesnt work.
Tried SEUS: Latest already.
PcCompanion: No update.
Any FlashTool can i use to flash it?

You can find everything here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12442257

But why did u format system??Never do it again.
(In the system there are the os,and the recovery's files.if u delete these,dont wonder if your phone doesnt boot)

heheh you shouldnt delete the /system
try this with this rom (2.1.1.A.0.6 Nordic firmware with latest SE kernel and baseband)

if i restore a rom, it doesnt format previous rom, so some system files are unreplaced.
so i format it. after that i have to restore a rom, but i was trying to restore a zip but failed, on curiosity i reboot and see. xD
Solved, use flashtool to install 1.6 and update with seus to 2.1. then root and install xrecovery, load modded rom.

Who told you that restoring doesnt deletes the previous rom? It does!

no one told. i experienced it myself.
i added some files in /system, after i restore my backup, system files remain unreplaced. so format it and everything is new.

I had similar experience with my X8, also formated system.
But it's not a problem to fix with SEUS.
After getting message that my Software is latest, I just click on INSTALL at the bottom left part of SEUS window.
And then I have to follow instructions.... and original Eclair will be installed!

/System/ is a virus as system32 at windows ;+)

i need some help
I tried to change my Gingerbread from V28 to V25 as I was told on the forum that it would run better. They recommended that I install CWM. I ran the installation and hit the restart but the phone wont start up. It must have been the wrong version for Xperia X8. Although it did say it was for all Xperia phones.
My Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 phone is stuck at the Sony Ericsson screen and I cannot get to Xrecovery let alone start up my Gingerbread.
What can I do now ? Running any software on the PC is no good as it says there is nothing plugged in.
I have made a copy of my SDCARD but how can I get it working again ?

@zhuzhang
I dont wanna be an enemy but you were here for sometime and complains a lot. I know you can figure out by your own.
@aindriu
That version dont use xrec anymore its cwm to avoid errors.

Bro, please don't revive dead threads.. ask your problem in a new thread.

I've got it sorted. Thanks

Just for Re-read purposes, if anybody else has this problem I have created an easy guide to restore your x8 back to its original state
HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840124

Remember you must be on stock kernel and baseband.
Open Seus
Don't connect your phone.
Select repair phone.
Select your phone from the list.
Seus will download a software for your phone.
After that take out your battery nd insert it again. Don't power up your phone.
Connect USB to PC then press back button on your phone nd connect USB on your phone wait till seus finds your phone.
It will install the software.
Hurrrrraayyyy...
Press thanks if I helped you.

The error message and related problem is written right there in front of your nose:
The ZIP file on your SD card does not seem to be ok. Bad download or corrupted while copying onto the SD.
EDIT: If you want to make sure that a large file got copied correctly to the SD (assuming the file you downloaded is ok):
1. Get HashTool
2. Start HashTool, make sure at least "MD5" is checked and drop the ZIP onto the program window.
3. Save the MD5 hash as a .txt file
4. Mount the phone in USB storage mode
5. Copy the ZIP
6. Drop the ZIP you copied onto the SD onto Hashtool and make sure the MD5 matches.
If the MD5 does not match, then the file on the SD is damaged. Turn off the phone, take out the SD and put it into a card reader. Delete the ZIP, copy anew, recheck the MD5. If it's ok now give it a try ... and research a possible problem with the Android drivers on your computer later on.
If it should turn out that the file is also damaged on your computer ... either the download broke (pay close attention to make sure the file came in completely) or you have a funny problem with your hard drive or file system integrity.

You know, that statement is plain bulls***. Flashtool uses the very same rooting methods as SuperOneClick.

Correct - try another ROM or re-flash GingerXperia.
See the edit in my post above about how to make sure that the ZIP got copied correctly.

Repair it using PCC and start all over again, but this time use super1click for rooting your phone and x8toolbox for install CWM and xRecovery
Or try to pull out battery for couple minutes and see if problem still persist, than start your phone without sdcard inside, maybe you sdcard causing it

so far ok ...but it restarted bout 10 mins ago...i scare it happen again..i really hope not, the last time i serviced my phone is caused the sd card problem

I'm going slightly mad....
I've tried all possibilities, but with no use.
Everything went bad, when i unlocked bootloader, and (tried) flashed nAa kernel to use new rom's for my X8. SEMC unlocked bootloader, rooted phone, everything went fine, but... First my phone was stuck on nAa kernel screen after flashing (it said succesfully) nAa kernel and latest cm rom based on nAa kernel. Since than, i tried 10 different nAa based rom's, flashed alfs kernel succesfully and alfs based rom's, stock kernel and stock rom, and than old rom's which worked flawlessly (on stock kernel), relocked bootloader, booted without sd card, everything. But only combo which works is flashed stock kernel and stock rom 2.1.1. Why? What has been gone wrong that now even old rom's based on stock kernel aren't working? Problem with every rom and kernel combo now is that after s.e. (or if i use custom kernel - their logo), goes custom rom logo and than mobile reboots itself and goes all over again - s.e. logo, custom rom logo, and reboot. Left mobile for hours - same thing. Only when i install stock kernel and stock rom (together in one .ftf file), everything works fine. Now phone is with relocked bootloader, rooted, and on stock rom, with everything working correct. But wont let me flash any custom rom, and i don't wanna use phone like this, because nothing is like i'm used to be (i used mostly gingerdx or gingerxperia rom's).
Please help!!

[Q] Is it possible to flash without sd card?

Sorry for the newbie question, but is it possible to flash checkrom zip, from internal storage with cwm recovery? i tried and it just freezed on the samsung screen under startup, so i had to flash back to stock rom with odin to fix...

Short answer : yes
Long answer : i'm not sure of that particular order of tasks. But once you get CWM working properly then yes you can flash from internal storage.
MAYBE there is a bug getting CWM working the way you are trying but I would just try it again. 5% of the time something goes wrong with the flash process and that's probably what happened to you.

re:
damn, something strange happend here, after i flashed back the stock rom with odin and got the mobil to start again,the superuser doesnt work... the app isnt there, I get an error message every time I start the phone sayin: error reading hardware from internal interface, and if i try to use apps that need superuser premision. and the kitchen pro app has popped up, it doesnt work but it seems that I am on Checkrom then? WTF!! the phone seems to be heatin more than usual also.. i flashed back to KK5 stock room, and CWM got deleted. now i cant get it back over on CF- root cuz I get error when i try to do so, probebly cuz the superuser problem.., i need CWM so i can reflash.. FML! what can I do?

yes you can, you will find an option to select "install zip from internal sd", which doesn't require ext sd.

superuser
Sure you can install superuser from market.

You have lost root after flashing the stock ROM, that's why your root apps won't run. You need to root your phone again. Just go to Dr.Ketan's thread and follow the instructions.

Youll get your root and CWM Recovery back.
And, as D. Adams said, don't panic.

[Q] [HELP] Problem Xperia X8 (ROMs, Xrecovery)

Greetings from Colombia. The post I translated with Google translator because not speak English. Hope is not a big problem and I hope I helped. Thanks again.​
My problem is this. I have an Xperia X8 (E15i - 11w13) and a few days ago I returned my Xperia X8 to PC COMPANION Stock (Stock Firmware and Kernel) Then using the ROM: rDroid (The best ROM for me)
With my phone in stock. Decides to Flashing ...
+ Then I ROOT my phone with flashtool. All good up there.
+ I decided to install the xRecovery as always and installed (Copying 3 files to System / Bin with RootExplorer)
Restart .. And no, it did not work.
- Investigate and maybe he problem was the permissions. I repeated the process, modify permissions ... And no, it did not work
- Maybe it was the Busybox?. I repeated the process after installing Busybox from the Android Market ... And nothing
- So I thought ... and it decided to install the xRecovery Flashtool, I did and .. It worked!
Already with the xRecovery working and the new ROM on SD Card, decided Flashing.
+ Realize what Wipes and install the ROM ... There all good
+But when the cell lit New ROM test, shoot me Restarts every 10min, with a message in the notification bar that says: "It is safe to remove the SD"
+Or failed the internet or in the Market / Play Store (would not let me download any APP)
+Or And there did not return to take the ROM .. It was stuck on the logo of SONY
+Or And Not even let me enter the xRecovery
Then I play do ... TOTAL STOCK Back to PC Companion.
I returned to Perform ROOT process, Xrecovery (with Flashtool) ... All to Flash the ROM withthe rDroid Cel (The one I was using before the problem and it works excellent)
But what ... Again the same problem. The constant pulling reboot message "Safe to remove the SD"
So when I went back to try to get the xRecovery .. He returned and stayed stuck in the Logo of SE.
And I got to re-do?... Make PC STOCK TOTAL COMPANION :crying:
¡HELP ME!​

hi. i understand that you don't speak english, and thanks for the effort in using translate, but i'm afraid i'm not sure i understand. are you experiencing a soft brick now? or is the sdcard error the issue?
if you have a soft brick (stuck in sony logo), try using seus instead of pcc if pcc doesn't work.
if you're experiencing the sdcard issue, backup your sdcard and reformat it. also, install cwm instead of xrecovery as some roms apparently do not support xrecov (i have not experienced it though).
also, are you on stock kernel? i'm not familiar with the rom you're using. or is your bootloader unlocked and you have a custom kernel? and what is the new rom you're trying to use?
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

Just helping
if u want to fix the booloop (stuck at sony logo)
just flash the original firmware by flash tool
download here
and if u want to install custom rom
- Flash the kernel
- Full Wipe (dalvik cache and batery stats)
- Factory Reset
- Install ROM

Hello. Thanks for answering Cascabel.
But I had no brick problem, or soft or hard.
The phone works normally with the Stock ROM, but with a Custom ROM works but has problems (the same problem throughout the ROM I try)
Buy a New SD card (8GB Kingston) to see if the problem was on the sd card. And it still has the same problem with the new card

You don't test or mess xrecovery if you are in custom rom. You'll soft brick even you can boot up to xrecovery and xrec uses amend scripting so CWM in custom rom is the best. Xrec uses busybox and all custom rom can't update busybox.

follwed all the steps on this thread but it just doesnt work evrytime i enter the command it says no such file found, pls help

If you see the main thread you notice lot of people are reporting problems mounting internal storage.. why not keep an eye there...

Or maybe you use the alternate method or putting an alternate kernel the file in /preload/TWRP/
This does not require root, and the preload partition is mounted in the recovery instead of the sd card automaticly.
placing it /preload/ does require root, so go for /preload/TWRP/

If you use root explorer, can you see any of the files? IN TWRP recovery, when you click on "Install", which folder do you see as default.. try to place the Philz kernel zip to that location and flash it in recovery.. then reboot recovery.

can you please explain alternate method

Why is there no OS? Anyhow.. boot into twrp recovery.. connect phone to pc and run adb devices. It should show the phone.. then activate adb sideload. In cmd prompt, use command adb sideload "path or the zip file on pc". this should install the kernel/rom.

And do let me know if there is any other way from where i can just excess my data on sd card and internal card and i can use cwm as i have used that so many times once i can excess my data on internal and external card of my device i can do that.
Is there any terminal command on TWRP from where i can run supersu or any command so i can excess my internal and external sd storage .
I am sorry to bother u again and again but i hope you can understand i am not good like ur
Waiting for your reply
Warm Regards and Thanks

Easy way use pc Odin flash philz kernel. Boot into recover using three button method and restore cwm backup. You will get yellow triangle but that's easy to remove as well. If anybody is going to be flashing any Roms pc Odin and adb is a must have. If don't have a backup or a Rom on your sd card you can flash a stock Rom with Odin.
Experimental roms are going to leave you stranded most of the time and if people are going to flash roms labeled as such then the should learn how to recover from them before flashing

I recommend Odin(PC).
As an alternative, try this, should mount the external SD card.
This does not work if that sd card is partitioned.
Code:
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1 /sdcard/
