[HELP] A weird brick..

Hi,
First, put my phone (Xperia X8) 2.0.1 -> 2.1update1 (latest version), second, rooted it, third, watched the *W** under battery to see if i can unlock bootloader. It was W02 so no problem. Unlocked bootloader successfully ! Installed GinderDX and here...
My phone boot with GinderDX logo but after the "Sony Ericsson" logo appear 1/2 and my phone shutdown. Sometimes i can get flash mode for some secs, but can't use FlashTools/PC Compagnion and sometimes able to get Xrecovery.
PLEASE HELP ME!

Low battery?

Here is what you have to do.
If you still have your MiniCM6 backup, restore it using a recovery. Full wipe, wipe cache and dalvik cache then power off your phone. Then, use Flashtool to flash back stock kernel.
If you do not have the backup, download MiniCM6, boot into recovery, full wipe, wipe cache nd dalvik cache, then flash MiniCM6. Power off and use Flashtool to flash stock kernel.
Done (hopefully)

I don't know. I think the question should be more clear

I'm sorry for that, I don't know and don't understand about flash tool or flash kernel..I'm really don't understand, I try to find answer and still don't know...could you explain me? Why do we do??
Sent from my E15i using XDA

First tell me which rom do you want to flash ?
We do the flashtool stuff if we want to install a kernel or sometimes rom.. But you can install rom through recovery also.

Look we use flashtool to:
1-flash new kernels
2-install recovery on stock kernel.
3-rooting the phone
4- unlocking the bootloader (last version)
5-installing apps.
6-creating bundles if we want to restore Eclair
----------//-------
To flash a new ROM:
if your bootloader is unlocked u flash a new kernel and then using recovery u flash the Zip file which is the ROM.
If u cannot unlock your bootloader then u cannot change your kernel and must use ROMS which support stock kernel.

Sent from my XPERIA using XDA Premium.

Well he can use xrecovery if unlocking bootloader is not possible (?)

Did I tell anything wrong?
Yes he should use Xrecovery to flash new ROMs.
But he can't change the kernel or the phone will be bricked (softly)
Sent from my XPERIA using XDA Premium.

Oh yes..Lets see if he can unlock his BL or not
You didn't say anything wrong

If u don't know about flashtool this means that you are in stock kernel....
Two ways
First if you had made a backup with cwm you can restore it with cwm,that will replace the current rom with the one you had backed up
second,if you haven't made backup then install your old rom just as you installed it first time,put it in SD,go to cwm or xrecovery ,full wipe,wipe dalvik, install zip from SD....

If he is on stock kernel there is no need to tell him how to flash kernels......

I mean if he can unlock his bootloader he can flash kernels.
And I say maybe the reason his bootloader is unlocked is that he never tried to unlock it since he is a noooooob.

1. Use flashtool and flash to stock.
2. If you want 4.0.0 you should 1st look at the system requierments(kernel, bootloader).

[Q] Soft bricked X8

Hi guys. Today I tried upgrading GingerDX from v030 to v031b but I mistakenly downloaded (and flashed) Alfs/nAa instead of Stock kernel.
Now the phone screen won't pass the Sony Ericsson boot scree... I can't find the key combinations to enter into CWM recovery menu. Is there any other way I can flash the proper ROM using Flashtool? I found this guide but I don't want to go back to the stock kernel (if possible).
Thank you!

You mean to. Say stock rom??
You are already on stock kernel...
& no other option you must follow that guide if you can't unlock bootloader!
see boot animation without rebooting

Right, I already have the stock kernel, but I flashed Alfs/nAa ROM instead of the Stock one (from the download options) and now the phone won't pass the bootloader... Will try that guide since I can't enter CWM recovery using the key combinations I found

1. Use CWM to flash GDX!
2. Wipe dalvik cache that you forgot..

Will xtoolbox do the job?
It I'll be great if everything comes from one place instead of having to root using guide A, install CWM from guide B to end up using XDA's guide to install GDX. Just un idea, specially for noobs

Well, when I softbricked my X8, I never used my PC to unbrick it. I will just go into the recovery and flash a working rom. Problem solved..
But I can't figure out why he is sayig he can't go into the recovery. The button patterns remains the same no matter what rom you are on or what kernel you use. But I can be wrong.
Anyway did you do all these steps:
# Wipe Full System
# Wipe Cache, Dalvik-Cache
These steps are very important. But we often forget them.

Dude.....
Sometimes can't get into recovery while on stock kernel

Maybe the op is downloading gdx for custom kernel...

If he downloaded for custom kernel ...
he can't see the GDX logo
only 'Sony Ericsson'
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app

We dont see the sony ericsson logo on custom kernels..
it is seen only on stock kernel.
so there is a high possibility that op downloaded the wrong rom..

if you use rom for stock kernel you can see the GDX logo...that is part of boot animation. alfs shows WLAN version not GDX. the Sony Ericsson logo is of stock kernel. so if you flash a rom for custom kernel you will still see that logo
it is possible (as dagger said) that OP downloaded rom for custom kernel.

[Q] XPERIA X8 problem after unlock bl

Hi, i have a xperia x8 (10w52) with unlocked bootloader and I think I have a problem after the bootloader unlocked. So what's the problem?
My xperia won't boot into custom rom after I install the rom. I didn't get any problem about install custom rom when my bootloader is still locked. But, after I unlock the bootloader...... Another story with locked bootloader. Won't boot, stuck in sony ericsson logo (stock kernel) & nAa/oxydo (custom kernel). I follow the instruction in each cusrom thread. But it same.
Any idea?
Thx.
nb : everything's fine when it runs on stock rom and stock kernel.

Hmm?Did u full wipe data/cache? Does the rom supports custom kernel?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

are you sure your bl is unlocked? because if you flashed a different kernel, se logo shouldn't appear anymore.
also, what rom+kernel combination are you trying to flash? if it's jb, you need to format system, cache and data, flash kernel, and reformat again. only after should you flash the rom.
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

Veryyyy sureee. I checked it with s1tool.. It was same thing when I install the custom rom. Stuck in boot. (happened in stock and custom kernel)
Like what I said, I followed all the instructions.
This is the rom & kernel that I tried but it's bootlooping.
NAa + MiniCM10
NAa + Jellyblur (nAa full support version)
NAa + JBMP
Stock Kernel + ZenceFii v14 stock
I will try to install GingerDX v30 (my old custom rom on my x8 when the bootloader still locked) with stock kernel. I will let you know what happen next

no idea about zencefii but...
for jb roms, what i do is format /system /cache /data via cwm (either on stock or gb kernel), flash naa's jb kernel, then format those partitions again. then i flash minicm10. i haven't experienced bootloops by doing that. good luck in flashing gdx though. :thumbup:
