Maybe someone can help me, I installed a new firmware(MiniCM7 2.1.5) on my X8 in CWM. After the reboot the screen stays permanent on 'Sony Ericsson'. I even can not come in CWM anymore. Can somebody help me with this? Thanks!
edit : I even can not put it off anymore, it stays on the Sony Ericsson screen, the only thing I can do is disconnect the battery

Both SEUS and PCC don't work. They don't see the phone when I connect it with the USB. The phone 'hangs' when the 'Sony Ericsson' words appear on the screen after I put on the phone. I don't even can switch it off, only when I get the battery out. Anybody who can help me with this?
edit : After several times it worked! Thanks Nelikp
Use flashtool,it will work.

Yesterday i tried to flash the latest minicm. The instructions in the thread told that i should flash a kernel first. I didnt and went ahead to flash the minicm. I flashed it and rebooted my device. The phone wouldnt open and is still stuck at the sony logo. I removed battery and tried to flash the kernel with with flashtool in flashmode but i was getting an error and couldnt flash it. I cant either open recovery by clicking the back button. I searched through some threads about bricked phones and i downloaded pc companion but couldnt work it out. I havent tried SEUS yet. Any ideas? Please answer asap
There are a lot of threads talking about stuck at SE logo.
Use SEUS. It's the best option you got
strange PCC didn't work for you... Did you opt for the "repair phone" option?? If not, opt for that and continue.... Worked for me.

After you boot Pc Companion, there's a "Support Zone" in the menu. Click on Begin/Start. Then click "Update Phonesoftware" and in the bottom there is "Repair your phone". Click on it and try those steps. They worked for me.
p.s, everything within "" quotes are translated from Dutch to English, they can be named otherwise in your version of pcc
Sorry guys my fault. I clicked at the support in pc companion but didnt see the repair link. Its downloading the update at the moment waiting to see results

At first latest minicm7 need nAa kernel.If u want little bit older version 2.0.7 (Android 2.3.5) i can upload for u , its working with stock kernel so u dont have to flash the kernel. Second is that if u want flash the kernel first must have unlocked bootloader (i think u dont have that unlocked).
At first resort ur phone using SEUS or PCC

Im not shure if u can do it but there is guide how to do it.
I was using it to unlock my bootloader , before u try unlocking ur bootloader read carefully the thread !: BEFORE YOU EVEN TRY ANYTHING, TAKE OUT YOUR BATTERY COVER, TAKE OUT YOUR BATTERY, AND CHECK YOUR MANUFACTORING DATE. IF IT IS 11W29 OR ABOVE, DO NOT TRY THIS AS IT WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE.
If ur phone is after 11W29 dont even try do it. But dont worry , i have minicm7 2.0.7 which works on stock so u can pm me
Ok phone works fine. I will search for threads on how to unlock bootloaders and attempt to do some stuff but always with caution. I will also pm you if i need anythign thanks for the help guys

Hahaha thanks man
EDIT: SOLVED THANKS TO damir87
Ok guys, after a lot of research and messing up I ended up needing to ask for help.
I started trying to install cyanogen mod 9 (Android 4.0.3) where everything was going fine, but when I flashed the kernel with the "Custom Gingerbread kernel nAa-11" and installed the cyanogen 9 ROM with xRecovery, but when I started the phone (And it's still like this ATM) after the Sony Ericson logo, it appears the XPERIA logo with the lighting animation, it does the animation about 3 - 4 times and freezes after that and stays there, sometimes it does the animation 3 times, disappears and appears the logo again and then freezes.
I realized this happened because I didn't unlock bootloader. I can actually check the bootloader and I get the message that says it's locked but you can unlock it but to unlock it I have to have it turned on with USB debugging on.
Also, sometimes when I try to flash it again, after connecting it and the green light turning on it says I have plugged the device in flash mode, then it says I unplugged it and tells me that an error occurred, then the phone boots up by it-self.
BTW I'm a bit newbie in the section of "flashing" and the kernel and the baseband stuff, I'm not sure if with flashing, you flash the kernel, the baseband, or the ROM it-self, or even if you can install a ROM with the flashtool with the phone on flashmode.
BTW I can't access xRecovery.
- SEUS Says my phone is already up to date and all I can do is click finish.
- PCC Says there's not software available for my phone.
WHAT WOULD BE PERFECT TO FIX THIS:
A way to change the ROM to the android 2.1.1.C.0.0 without booting the phone(in flash mode).
HOW I SOLVED IT
-I simply downloaded this stock ROM (2.1.1.C.0.0): http://www.mediafire.com/?eca0sualnao4c4c
-Then just used flashtool V0.2.9.1 (I think it's important that you use that exact version): https://rapidshare.com/#!download|5...|62602|R~5490459C5764641D4665C046409A620A|0|0
(Sorry for rapid**** host, couldn't get any better)
After that it took the phone about 5~ mins to start up after the 2nd SE logo.
Again thanks to damir87!
I was newbie too , but reading threads helped , use SEUS Sony PC Companion to restore to stock.

Thanks for the reply, but Sony PC Companion needs the phone to be ON and on debug mode, actually I can't fully boot the phone and SEUS gets stuck on "checking connection to the phone" or something like that.
Also PCC says there's no available updates for the phone. <.<
Turn off phone , then do what seus asks

Even I HATE rapidshare, hotfile, depositfile, share and uploading, I'll trust you and hope it works .
With this you say it'll do everything?
Even the rooting while on flashmode? and instal xRecovery?
Remember I can't access the phone.
BRB In 3 hours with the ****ty 30kb/s, gonna practice shuffle.
This file is stock 2.1 for x8 so when you flash this your phone will not be rooted and will not have recovery installed, thats you gonna do after flashing stock rom! btw B.Jay is write nice and detailed tutorial so you can follow these steps to make your phone work!

Oh, ok great, and when flashing this it will install the default ROM and remove the android 4.0.3 ROM right?
EDIT: I already did that tutorial, when I tried to flash the phone with the 2.1.1.C.0.0, it gave me an error saying it can't prepare the files for the flashing, any idea?

When using PCC , don't click on "Update Phone". Your phone won't be recognized.
Click on "Repair Phone" , and follow instructions.

Welcome ! You got your phone alive?
Two week ago when i played radio from an application on my device while charging it, suddenly my device reboot and reboot again...
Then i was trying reset all data but the problem still exist...
So i followed some guide from this forum by rooting and flashing it using flashtool and using new firmware from provide link ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19684920#post19684920 and http://www.mediafire.com/?d3pobqqc3py66#4c02265ox4l1r )
and the problem was still the same, reboot and reboot again, so i tried using PCC and SEUS but it didn't change anything..
Lately, when i charge my device, it didn't reboot, but when i didn't charge the phone, on some point my device reboot and reboot again and the battery went down to +/- 2-15%
What is really happen to my device ?? Is it battery problem or RAM problem ???

cause it happen when i listening a web radio and charging my phone....
that time my battery is full but i forget to unplug it, and when it happen, the battery is enough hot....
or maybe my cache memory, that is used by a web radio application is full....
is any of that possible ??

Sony Ericsson X8 Bootloop
Hey I will tell you what to do.
First of all install Sony Ericsson Update Service or SEUS. Just Google it and you can find it easily!
Now connect your phone to your computer via USB cable.
Start SEUS.
Then follow the on-screen instructions.(You will be asked to select your phone model,update or repair your phone etc)But its easy!!!!!
Then leave the rest to SEUS.
It will first repair your phone,then download the stock rom and kernel and also the baseband and will automatically install them.
After that you will have your X8 on stock rom,it will be updated to the latest baseband and kernel.
Hope it works for you.

For my case, it will bootup with 1.6 stock rom, the baseband will be stated unknown, but it still can call and receive SMS...
Any rom that is above 2.1 won't be able to boot, that include stock 2.1 and any custom rom...
It only can be repaired by SE i think (or maybe JTAG )...
So in the end i gave up the phone and sold it at a cheap price to a friend and he took it to SE for repair, the phone comes back with stock 2.1 ROM
but the camera and vol button are not working, most probably damaged by the repair guy in SE...
Btw, any one knows what causes the baseband to gone like that?
