unbrick/Revert back to stock rom no matter what painlessly!!

Download the files before reading if ur interested
Found out many strainous guides on this section and really its a big pain to the neck reading everything here.Buff!!Anyway this is a stock froyo rom based on the originally shipped rom with root an a super easy installation.To do this u need nvidia drivers for mobile devices on ur pc.
-If ur on ics/jellybean download this first then continue
-Get the nvidia drivers from here.Unrar them to any folder.
-Now put off ur device.
-Take off the battery.
-Hold the vol up and down keys together.Keep holding and after about 3-4 secs connect to ur pc.
-Ur pc should detect the device but wont be able to install the drivers.U have to do that manually in device manager and i believe if ur n the xda u can do so except u want.(Come on its easy to manually install drivers on windows.Open device manager,see flagged driver with yellow sign,right click and choose update blahblah....)
-After installing unplug the phone,remove the battery,put it back and reboot ur device.
-After it boots up put it off and repeat steps 1-5.If the pc detects ur device the get this unzip and open FlashFirmware.bat an leave it do its thing.{For ics/jellybean users first run the flash.bat in downloaded file(which u should have extracted) and repeat steps 1-5 for the 3rd time and now do the flashfirmware.bat part}
Once u see the LG logo (and only then)on ur device then its ok.
When U boot there are 3 languages chinese,korean and english.
downloads, 1 & 2
Everything here is stock!!!
Hit thanks below if u benefited from this.
credit to wkpark too!!

Support dead , device sold but method works!!!!:crying::crying::crying:

[Q] Xperia X8 hangs up at Sony Ericsson logo

Hello. This is my final resort. -.-
I used miniCM7-2.2.1. I've tried everything that has been suggested. My X8 hangs up on the Sony Ericsson logo and I cant access the xRecovery menu. To shut my phone down, I have to take out the battery, since it wont shut down when it hangs up no matter how long I hold the power button. Then I insert the battery again; but when I connect the USB cord, it starts up automatically and then hangs up again. I've tried flashing it but it wont detect in flash mode even if the led is green. so no luck on flashing. I tried SEUS but it says I already have the latest software installed so no luck in updating either. Somebody help! T.T
SUMMARY:
-Hangs up on logo screen
-Cant access xRecovery
-Doesnt detect flash mode (even when led is green)
-SEUS cant upgrade since latest software is installed
PLEASE HELP!

do you have pcc and x8 drivers installed? try rebooting your pc and attempt to flash again. you should be able to get into flash mode. also install gg drivers.
also, i can't quite remember, but doesn't minicm7 require a custom kernel?
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

only seus, pcc,or flashtool.. since you can't get into recovery.

i got it flashed. i figured i'd insert the battery after i plugged into pc. then i flashed it with a stock rom for e16i. worked like a charm. however, i still havent found the right custom rom yet. does anyone has any suggestions?

Dear bro,don't PANIC! its the only thing that makes us to create a bit useless threads..
try with Flashtool second time!
and if doesn't work use PC COMPANION its your best Companion
repair the X8 via PC COMPANION
- Turn off the phone, and unplug it from the PC !
- On your PC, uninstall Sony PC Companion
- Restart your PC
- On your PC, clean any Cache and Registry related to Sony PC Companion, then restart PC again.
- Reinstall Sony PC Companion by downloading it from here
- Turn on Sony PC Companion on your PC
- In Sony PC Companion, enter the Support Zone tab
- Go to Update Phone Software
A window will pop out, saying that it cannot find your phone
- Click on Fix Phone
- Click on Continue
A window will pop out, saying that you will lose all your data
- TICK the BOX
- Click on continue
An update process will began.
Wait for it to show a window with all the SONY mobile phones
- Find your phone (X8)
- Click on the phone.
Now all you have to do is follow the on-screen instructions. It will tell you to hold the back button and plug your turned-off X8 to the PC, then it will erase everything, and download the original 2.1 ROM to your X8.
If Sony PC Companion STILL doesn't recognize your X8, then, uninstall Sony PC Companion AGAIN, and start the above described process AGAIN. It WILL eventually work!

Well, I can tell you that I had a similar experience recently and I almost **** my pants. After having occupied the restroom, PCC worked for me absolutely perfectly, albeit I did have some problems installing the necessary drivers (had to do it from a different machine, obviously something in the registry was messed up).
Seeing you solved the problem, I recommend you install either a 2.2 or 2.3 ROM. Don't go for 4.x ones if you're up for normal use because they are way too strong for this little device (kudos to the developers who made these ROMs happen, though).
My recommendations:
2.2 - FroyoPro v2.5
2.3 - GingerDX v031b
Both work really well with custom kernels, and are very fast and stable.

My X8 has also the same problem, It hangs up in the logo screen and I cant go into the Flashmode, If I can only go into the Flashmode I have already fixed it, but my X8 opens up every time I plug it in my computer. Can anyone help me with this problem?

OK,assuming you have probably root the phone, by the way can you managed to go into recovery mode in your phone? If so, then just copy your rom zip files into the SD card and install zip files from SD card in the recovery mode. By the which Rom and Recovery you are using?

you use flashtool to unbrick your phone? if you use it and can't flash your phone, you have to install flashtool-drivers.exe in drivers folder. everything'll work well.good luck

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, you cannot run a custom kernel.
Flashing just the stock kernel for your firmware with Flashtool should fix your problem.

Kindly assist.

[Q] Help flashed tilal6991's CM 10.2 [4.3] [XPERIA T] cant go back to cm 10.1

Hello everyone
I am a noob.
I have just recently flashed tilal6991's CM 10.2 [4.3] [XPERIA T] rom onto my Xperia T. I know it is a working progress and it works really fast on my phone.
I had decided that after trying it out I would wait till a nightly came out for it. Only thing is I can no longer access CWM by starting up phone and repeatedly pressing down volume. it justs keep screen flickering on a blank screen until I hold up volume and power button to reboot phone.
Can someone please tell me an idiot proof process of reinstalling cm 10.1 onto the phone?
I used CWM to install teh rom.
Many thanks in advance

Just flash a stock ftf using flashtool.
Our flash a stock kernel (doomkernel is good) then flash a stock based custom Rom in recovery (I suggest mine Rom-assaye)
You cannot repair in pccompanion because you have unlocked your bootloader

Thanks for the quick reply. downloading flash tool now. I will give your rom a go.

Do I need to download the ftf from flashtools website? I noticed they have 9.1.A.1.140 Customized CE1 firmware.

No, just one from the all in one thread, but that one seems fine.
Make sure you use the flash tool from the first post in the dev section
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium

you dont need to flash stock FTF
just flash this kernel via flashtool
http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/kernels/mint/boot-cm-10.1-test-28072013-take2.img
and you will be able to enter recovery and then flash what you need... this way is more quicker..

Apologies, I misread the op, I thought he wanted to go back to stock.
Yes, flashing a kernel (doomkernel will do) with recovery then the . Zip for cm10 will do the trick much quicker.
Edit
Or flash the kernel then restore the backup of your cm10 Rom that you made before flashing a new Rom

thanks for all the help guys.
I have a new problem. the phone will not stay in fast boot mode and fast tool just keeps saying awaiting device. i dont know what to do. I hold down power and volume up buttons when putting the micro usb in. I get the 3 vibration in a row and then i let go of buttons. blue light comes on for a few seconds and then goes off.
Any ideas?

open flashtool and select flash icon then fastboot mode
turn off your phone hold power +volume down till you get 3 vibrations on a row
now connect the phone by holding only up volume when connecting cable
then select SELECT kernel to flash switch to IMG extension and select kernel after 5 second it should be flashed
now turn on your phone go to recovery and flash what you want

Guys you are all awesome.
finally got it sorted. took me til 2230 GMT. It was the cursed Windows 8. it was not letting me install sony fastboot drivers. once i switched off the function to stop me installing my own drivers, I was able to install fastboot drivers and 30 secs later I was in CWM.
Once again guys you are awesome.

after that I tried to power up the phone and the led goes green and the phone vibrate and then nothing .... no light on the screen no boot animation just like that..... flashmode is still working i guess....
so I was searched here in xda for a solution and I found out that flashing back to stock kernel should help it via SEUS
