Stuck at SE Logo! SEUS won't work :(

Okey guys! So i have searched and read like crazy about this and i can't seem to find anything that works
It all started with,
I had GingerDx 23b installed, i noticed that Omnius now have a free campaign for all of there stuff (i think). It will last for this easter. Anyway i couldn't do anything there because when i restart my phone i need to hold the back button in and connect the cable (like normal). But the phone won't boot when i do that (do not know why)
So i wanted to reinstall a stock Eclair 2.1.. Since GDx23b don't have xRecovery which i needed for this 2.1 rom i found, i tried to install xRecovery. Then when i rebooted my phone i got stuck..
I have tried PC Companion and SEUS but can't get contact with them :/
Thank you for your time and help in advance

are you stuck at se logo or your contacts ain't coming....??

[Q] Sony Ericsson text won't disappear

hi, I am having trouble booting my mothers' X8. She was using mini cm7 and it was starting to be very slow so I backed it up and flashed it again. flashing was completed successfully but when I tried to boot the phone, the Sony Ericsson text did not disappear. I left it running whole night but nothing happened. I can't even boot to xrecovery. What should I do now? Is there any way I can get the phone working again?
thanks a lot!

so I downloaded the stock kernel and flashtool, but the app won't recognize the device. it still shows that I should hold back button on my phone while plugging the cable. I was holding the button for about three minutes but nothing changed. what should I do?
edit: oh and the red LED is flashing.
edit2: nevermind, battery was drained. now I just need to find drivers for my x8

It's just soft brick so you should have flashtool and some ftf files for your device maybe stock firmware and baseband update so you can unbrick your soft bricked device for any time. Just enter the flash mode and flash it! That's it! Just some advice for you
PS. Don't say thanks. Click "Thanks"

[Q] Bricked Xperia X8 (E15i) HELP!!! May be hard brick

Okay please help. I have an unlocked bootloader (or had an unlocked bootloader) on my X8, it was rooted as well. I decided I'd like to get a custom Rom so I attempted to install GingerDX. I installed Clockwork Recover mod and tested it out to see if it was working. It was so I decided to back the phone up. The back up worked fine and I moved the backup to my computer. Then I restarted the phone to install the GingerDX rom. I cleared all the user data and I then went to install a zip file then chose the zip file. The installation completed so I pressed the back button and it said something about it being unsafe and that I will have no backup but I thought it was going to be fine as I had a backup of the kernel and the system on my computer.
I decided to ignore the warning as the installation said it was completed as well. But when I rebooted using Clockwork recovery mod the phone was stuck on the Sony Ericsson loading screen and was for around 10 minutes before I turned it off by removing the battery. I tried to enter the flash mode and reinstall the kernel on to the phone through flashtool but this failed and after that I can't seem to enter flash mode at all.
Please, is there any way for this to work? I'm guessing it's a hard brick but is there anything that I could try to fix it considering I have a system backup and the stock kernel backup as well? Anything will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.

it looks like you're on stock kernel. custom kernels do not show the se logo (haven't encountered one that does and i've tried quite a lot). are you sure you unlocked your bootloader? if you did, you haven't flashed a custom kernel yet.
don't worry it's only a soft brick. try using seus, pcc, or flashtool to recover it and go back stock rom. flash the rom, not the kernel.
did you download the stock kernel version of gdx? if not, that's probably why you encountered a bootloop.
edit: you also need to wipe dalvik cache and do a full wipe before flashing a rom
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion and I'm pretty sure I got the stock kernel version. Just in case I didn't can you send me a link if possible? Also I am on the stock kernel, I unlocked the bootloader but didn't bother flashing the kernel.
I've already tried PC Companion but I don't understand how to use it considering the phone actually cannot boot so I can't choose to connect the phone etc. Also I can't enter the clock work recovery mod anymore or the flash mode.

just download the stock rom for x8 and flash it using flashtool. you do need pcc installed for that anyway.
well, i believe you when you say you have gdx's stock kernel version. maybe it's just that you didn't wipe cache, dalvik cache, and full wipe before flashing it?
just a Q though. why not flash a custom kernel? it makes a huge difference.
btw here's the link for stock: http://goo.im/devs/TeamFun/GingerDX/GingerDX-v031b-shakira-stock.zip
edit: you need to flash the stock se rom first to get out of the bootloop. then reroot you phone, install cwm, reboot to recovery and wipe, flash the rom. :thumbup:

I've been such an idiot. After a couple of tries it seems that I can actually boot to flash mode so it was just as simple as using Sony Update Service and repairing the phone. I feel like a bit of a tard. Anyway, this thread is resolved. Thanks for all your help and I've :thumbup: but just as a last note what kernel will go well with the GingerDX Rom?
And again thanks for all the quick help man. greatly appreciated.

No charging, no led flashing, doesn't turn on, won't go in flash mode.

Is it hardbicked? Is anything that can be done?

send it to a nearby Sony service center because your manufacturing date isn't safe to perform the unlocking of the bootloader, and yes, it is indeed a hard brick

I have left it charging over night, Im getting no signs of life from this in anyway.
The back of my phone says 10W51?
I cant get into flash mode
Also: I have an old Vivaz here and the X8, The vivaz was missing a battery and It turns out it uses the same battery as the x8, Ive tried using this battery in the vivaz but it wont turn on or charge, Is the battery gone?

[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?

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?
