I dont know really what it can be, but maybe you got wrong xrecovery you should install v.0.1 for x8!?
Try reinstall your stock android from SE do full wipe, clean dalvik cache, than root your phone again, but after rooting your phone restart it and check it. Than start xrecovery do full wipe and clean dalvik cache and try to install ginger again......let us know what you have solved

i have xrecovery v.0.1 and tried to do that but thanks anyway
it seems that my phone is idk but i guess there is some thing wrong with it
and if anyone have a solution please let me know

Are you really giving the phone enough time to boot? The first boot always takes a bit of time..
Also, format your sd card and install gdx only with the zip file in it then try to boot without the sd card.

Hello there
first of all sorry for my english, i am not a native english speaker. Well, I rooted my xperia x8 and installed xrecovery acording to this page, so far so good. Then i downloaded FroyoBread v023 Final, entered xrecovery and installed it. After the instillation was finished i choose to reboot. Now it shows the android logo and it is stuck there for at least 20 minutes. How much time should i wait?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Cant install any custom rom! :(

Dear friends,
I always stuck at SE logo whenever I try to install custom rom. Here is what I do:
1. Root My stock 2.1 with Flashtool
2. Install Busybox with flash tool
3. Copy xrecovery's 3 files to system/bin
4. Restart in xrecovery and Choose Install custom zip
5. After installation, I reboot and stuck!!!
I have tried "MiniCM7-2.2.1-shakira" and "GingerDX-v029-shakira.zip"
Any Help?? I dont want to unlock my bootloader.
Thnx

"MiniCM7-2.2.1-shakira" and "GingerDX-v029-shakira.zip" uses custom kernel.must on unlockbootloader

No, how to do this?? is there any risk of hard brick?

No just find the baseband file and flash it on flashtool
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app

i recommend to you to start from scratch, 2.1, root, flash baseband, install busybox, install CWM recovery, the full wipe and flash rom, you can flash the baseband with flashtool, and i think there is no risk, i have done it several times, the baseband xxxx15 is required to flash custom roms.

What's your baseband number?is it xxx015?
Also,you have to full wipe/factory reset at cwm before installing the rom(sometimes after,you can see this at the rom thread)

this aint sd problem i think... repair with SEMC.. and try re rooting the phone and then carry on the install.. if it still gives problem that zip is to blame:good:

@CnC-ROCK the thanks was just to show that what you are doing is right. continue to do this and you'll earn yourself a million thanks, one day.
@OP do you get any status 7 or similar errors? what ROM exactly are you trying to install?

I dot get any errors.
I tried with Blur v5 (based on cm7) and CyanogenMod 7 RC4 V7

it should install even if not supported for a kernel.. it will not boot or give problems after it.. but it wont stop installation of rc4
anyway.. rc4 supports alfs v9

[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

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.

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.
