Help, bricked my Xperia x8 - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I know this topic has been opened milions of times, but I really need your help.

Is there a solutiona and can you direct me to a one ( I'm a newbie so the most simple tutorial if any ) A video of the process wil be great as well.
Much appreciated guys !

[Q] stock x8 build 2.0.1.A.0.47

lets get to the point guys...i'm looking for stock X8 ROM build 2.0.1.A.0.47 without JIT,app2sd,or anything else..just an original SE ROM..i've been looking here in XDA but can't find it..anyone have it?please share it to me...
thanks..
and sorry for my bad bad english..
first of all this should have been posted in the X8Q&A section or X8 General section, secondly download the sony ericsson update service and update your phone through that, if the firmware that you are looking for isn't available for your region then im afraid it's tough luck

Black Screen
I was near heart attack I have flashed this kernel to my beloved Xperia Pro and then I found myself with a black screen of death.
I'm on 4.0.4 and .431 kernel, of course I'm having the international version of the phone MK16i.
To solve the problem I used flashtool to re-flash the .431 and then my device could boot..
Can you tell me where I went wrong I'm on a stock rom btw.
Thanks,
SeWeLam

Help idiot to installing costum rom on xperia x8

Ok I must say that I am idiot .... I soft bricked my phone like 5 times and now with my default kernel (flashed it) ... I have a huge battery problem and link2sd crashing problem ...
I have SE xperia x8 11w22 ...
I've been trying for 2 days to install GINGERXD on my phone ... I don't know why I can't do it ...
I installed cyanogenmod on my htc tattoo in like 2 hours with no problem .. but x8 gives me a lot of trouble ...
Right now I have default kernel on my phone ... rooted with flashtool and I have some FREEXPERIA RECOVERY... superuser app icon is android robots head with the pirate thing on his eye ...
one more thing .. how can I replace my current recovery with the clockwork one
PLEASE HELP ME WITH FULL GUIDE HOW TO DO THIS THING ( I don't want to screw up my phone :/ )!!!!!!!!
edit: I do not want to unlock bootloader ... I am scared of getting my phone hard bricked .. so if I can't install gingerxd without unlocking bootloader, please reccomend me some other good rom based on cyanogenmod that can work without unlocking bootloader
Well,you are not an idiot because you can't flash a rom!!! Calm down and everything will be fine
Did you full wipe/factory reset before installation of the rom?
For the battery problem try "wipe battery stats"

Op, what version of gdx are you trying to flash? Better use cwm, and do a full wipe BEFORE flashing the rom. Just search xda for the tut on how to install cwm on your x8.
Btw, gdx can run on stock kernel, so there is no need for you to unlock your bl. But out of curiousity, what's the maufacturing date of your phone?

I don't remember ..I've tried so many thing ...
what I am gonna do right now is:
1. flash my phone to default again (with flashtool, but I won't root and install recovery in flashtool)
2. root phone with superoneclick (or that';s not the right way ? )
3. install cwm recovery ( I will search on xda for tut.)
4. put rom on sd
5. wipe factory data
5. install rom via cwm
that's it... I mean is that the way it should be done ? I'm kinda really nervous .. only thing I don't want is hard brick on my phone ...

Ok ..., I rooted my phone successfully and installed busybox but I don't know how to install cwm ... there are like 50 ways just on forum ... what is the safest way to do it ?
Every way is safe if you follow instructions.
If you are experienced user with moving things around your system,do it manual,if you want the most simple way do it with x8toolbox.

changing frequency of cpu.600MHz is default but you can overclock to 768/806MHz and your phone(cpu) will be faster
