repair phone with SEUS http://sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com/
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071
when getting sony ericsson logo try pressing back button a few times so you will get into Xrecovery/CWM mode. from there you can flash any ROM you want with the condition of having it on your SD card.

Use PCC
I had flashed an incompatible ROM on my device , and I had the same problem (I dont remember the name of the ROM)
I used PCC. It worked for me. I didnt need SEUS.
Prefer PCC
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
SEUS is da best.

You want to flash the baseband on LOCKED boot loader?
That will never work.
Since it seems your boot loader is still locked you only need to flash the Stock ROM.
EDIT: By the way, that's also the root of your problem.
MiniCM7 requires you to...
- Unlock the boot loader (ONLY if your phone is SAFE for doing so!!!)
- Flash nAa's kernel
- Flash MiniCM7
But then, why the hell do I repeat again what's actually written in the OP post of MiniCM7 and you failed to read?
i am trying to root X8 my cellphone manufacturing date is 11w17 i have check through S1tool and i believe i can unlock my bootloader

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 ?
Dear,
I've tried almost everything, sry
The problem is simple.
I've an X8 with stock (FW 2.1-update1, Kernel 2.6.29 and Build 2.1.1.A.0.6) and I'm trying to put it on ICS with MiniCM9.
The first thing I did was Root with SuperOneClick. Don!
Second was turn off the phone and install Flashtool and Flashtool drivers also.
Third, I tried to turn the phone into Flash mode and... the phone do not stay in "flash mode". After some seconds the phone reboot and enter in a orange light, instead of the green one.
Follow below the log of Flashtool:

i've install superuser first and then i've tried to install the new kernel.

Hi Juliano i´m from Brasil too, but i don´t know if i can speak portuguese in the forum. But anyway i was having a problem more or less like yours, the problem was not really the light in the flashtool, but with the error when i tried to flash any kernel, the message is equal that you post in your log: ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR"ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS"ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed".
When you run the smc 7727 did you not have any error?Because when i run i have another error, where says that is not possible to gains acess route, but how? if the cel is rooted and the usb debuug was on too?

You need to unlock your bootloader then for example flash the nAa ics kernel via flashtool and install ROM via CWM.

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:
hello guys . i have a xperia x8 e15i and i tried to install a custom rom. so it all went like this.
First i downlaoded gingerdx v.31 then rooted my phone,installed busybox,installed xrecovery,put gingerdx in my sd card,booted my phone into xrecovery made a backup of my rom cleared my cache installed gingerdx and hit reboot.
now my phone just stays on the SE logo and cant get into xrecovery. every time i put in the battery it just keeps on going into the SE logo and doesnt do anything.
I was thinking maybe i forgot to unlock bootloader but i cant really fix that now. all im thinking is how to get it back.
any suggestions ?
It's just a soft brick. You can repair it using pcc or simply flash stock rom via flashtool.
It's a soft brick. I have encountered it aswell. If you have PC companion you can install the Stock Eclair 2.1 back or flash it via Flashtool

thanks but i have tried to do it with pc companoin which wont let me cause it tells me to turn my phone on which i cant and when i try flash it with flash tool i cant find the right firmware :I
No dude. Just click on the support zone and some option will say Repair device or Upgrade software( I am not sure .. cant remember , you'll find it ) after that it will Download the Eclair 2.1 automatically and when it is downloaded it will ask you to hold some button and while holding that button ( I think its the back button ) connect the usb cable to your phone! your phone will show a green light and after that leave the job on the PC companion
solution
@dansei12
Nothing to worry, its just a soft brick , easy to fix.
You just need SONY PC COMPANION and your device with data cable.
Follow the steps in screenshot.
After the third step just follow instruction [SONY will show you the way ] .. and it will be done.
NOTE:- You will return back to stock without SU. !
Just a soft brick..
experienced the exat issue..
just use Sony Update service.. .
easiest to remove your soft brick!

You can use Sony Update Service, you are right it's different !
Download here
SEUS works even when the phone won't boot...
You just need to find xperia x8 from listed mobiles, and follow instructions.. easy
Good luck
@dansei12
i already replied to this prob.. see reply #6 .
Ignore flashtool use SONY PC COMPANION.

This phone won't boot so PC companion will not be able to repair it !
Only Sony update service is able to repair the phone in flash mode
Many XDA users talk about SEUS and PC companion like if they were the same program...
P.S: if bootloader is unlocked, relock it by using RESTORE option in S1-tool or any soft you used to unlock it.
Relock the bootloader before using Sony Update Service

Are you serious? You don't know how to use pcc to unbrick a soft bricked phone then. Read up. Lots of guides showing just how to do it. And the update service is NOT the only tool to unbrick a phone. Please do a simple search about bricks first before you start giving answers and claim other users think pcc and seus is the same. You're only giving op false info.

I was just telling you that they are not the same software..
It happened to me during old soft bricks that PC companion sometimes won't do nothing through support zone => update
Ok Update Service is better (because it's different) and sorry for giving a fake info

I apologize for jumping on you mate.
Pcc can repair soft bricked phones although it's tricky for new users. In that aspect seus is better since it's simpler. Personally I prefer flashtool. I have stock rom and kernel on my pc just in case. I guess it's personal preference.
Thanks

Thank you. This was propably the one out of 2 comments that actually helped me.
Thanks phone up and running again.
I cant root it though. I dunno why. I restored it with SEUS and then updated firmware with pcc. Still cant root it.

How are you trying to root it? Can you give us a log? Someone can probably help you out if we can identify what's wrong.
