Hey guys, I have a problem, but it is bigger than you think.
Until today I have used GingerDX v0.27. I wanted to update it to v0.29. So I have done everything as always.
I have downloaded the .zip-file.
Then I have copied the .zip-file onto my SD-Card.
I started the phone while pushing the back-key.
I have cleaned the cache and installed the .zip-file.
But then I have made a huge mistake:
I have cleaned the cache again.
I don't know if I have bricked my phone when I have cleaned the cache again, but now it hangs at the Sony Ericsson-logo.
So I tried to start the phone while pushing the back-key. But nothing happens. I can only see the SE-logo.
Because I can't enter the CWM-Recovery I tried to install the stock ROM with Sony PC Companion 2.1.
But it simply doesn't recognize my phone. (I've clicked on "Repair phone" and done all that what the suite wanted. But it stays at "Connect your phone with USB while holding the back-key".)
So I have downloaded the "FlashTool".
But when I start it, click on Flash, click on the X8 Firmware (I've downloaded it from the Internet) "X8 Shakira E15i 2.1..." and follow the steps which are displayed on the screen it shows me this in the FlashTool:

I have searched today the whole internet, but all of them could enter the cwm or use the Sony PC companion.
I have already installed the drivers.
I also have already removed the battery, waited a few seconds and putted it back.
Then I have pressed and hold only the back-key and connected it to my pc.
But I always get the same situation as posted above.
But thanks for trying to help me.
PS: Of course my USB-Cable is working.

OMG! I can't believe it! I've looked at my chronics in safari and i've just seen I have downloaded (and installed) the wrong GingerDX!
I have installed the GingerDX for the Alfs/nAa Kernel, and not for the stock one.
Anything I can do now? (I haven't tried the Update Service yet, I am going to try it tomorrow):crying:
Try using flashtool and flash 2.1 stock rom

Cool, it works now with Sony Ericsson Update Service. I don't know why, but after I recharged the phone and connected it my pc installed the drivers again. (Like half a year before when I have restored it.)
here
ive aleardy encounter that problem before..i just do not press back key when powering my x8 thus i tend to press EVERY KEY (MENU,HOME,BACK,POWER) then it enter recovery..
in flashtool you must check ur driver (gordon gate),(FLASHTOOL/DRIVER) (Download Seus) then reflash your x8
im a newbie

I made the same mistake of installing GDXv029 for wrong kernel. Could you mention if you used PCC or standalone Update service app to unbrick your X8? I seem to be stuck with PCC doing nothing and Flashtool giving driver & USB debugging off errors.
If you can still enter CWM or XRecovery, restore a backup, or wipe everything and flash the correct version.

u tries SEUS? google it and try that, sure some1 sed this once on this thread tho
1. Let it charge for about an hour.
2. Download Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS). IMPORTANT: It must be SEUS and not the other one from the Sony website. This won't work. Here. Just click on the blue "zum Download" button, and then click on the "download-server Chip online" button.
3. Start the programe and follow the steps.
Now it should work if you do it correct.
Use Sony Update Service to unbrick your phone :good:

Yea, it did work. I had asked in the earlier post to Jake whether SEUS worked for him. Meanwhile, I was downloading it.
Sorry, I didn't see your reply earlier. I still have a problem of the phone resetting when someone answers my call or if someone calls in! So looks like I need to go to SE service centre anyway.
Thanks though.
Seems a lot of you are having the same problems I had with using Sony PC Companion to restore your phone.
Here is the proper method.
Follow these instructions STEP BY STEP, and you will eventually restore your X8 to its original state:
- 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!
My Phone Worked! once i flashed a Custom Kernel ROM into Stock! Good Luck.
the resolution
try to use pc companion(for the easy one)
or try to use x8tool for unbrick some trouble
you can use recovery if some of them still can operate
if u got hard brick try to use seus
and if u got dead boot u can give the phone to the sony centre or just throw your old phone to the trash :v
usb flash mode must be done imediately after .....

Dear
please pay attention to this guide.
i think you can not turn off your phone by power key while Sony Ericsson logo appears and you must remove the cover and take the battery out.is it ok?
for flashing by flash tools, start it and go ahead till it asks you to connect your phone in flash mode.
remove your phone cover and then battery .put the battery and then imadiately push the back key and connect usb cable.hold down the back key till the flashing starts.all must be done within 5 second.
recommendation:
1-flashtools version:x10 flashing tool version 0.6.9.1 built 2012-04-09
2-PCC
3-rom X8_2.1.1.C.0.0._un_2
4-X8_drivers_2
5-x8win
if the problem remains,let me know the flashtool messege.
---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------
if the problem remains,let me know the flashtool messege. or you`d better to use Sony Ericsson Update Engine.

So plug your device in flash mode? How to do it? Press "back" button of your phone and then connect to PC.

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)

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?
good day guys,

It was bricked, I think, because i updated my superuser apps in market, then my phone's sysytem stopped unexpetedly and forcing it to close. i tried to flash it with the latest rom, X8_2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf, but when i flash it the flash tool goes like this:

Use PCC to reset the original 2.1.1 software..
It'll make sure you have the right drivers installed.
Good luck.

Its better to make a new thread...
You should attach in flash mode first then select and install drivers, now open flash tools app
If still flash tools doesn't recognize use Gordon's gate PC app to reset drivers,(this app is in your flash tools folder / drivers)

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

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

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...

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

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[/QUOTE]
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.
