Soft brick, but can't get x8 working again - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I soft-bricked my x8, and the common fixes are not working.
The boot loader is unlocked, though i couldn't install any new kernel.
For example, using Flashtool 0.9.10.1 on ubuntu linux, i tried to install X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un, here is the log:
Code:

This problem already occurred before, and the only solution i found back then was to flash donut 1.6, but now i can't find it anymore (see this other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38769397)...
What can i do? please help me!

Try windows or another computer ...
wanna thank xda? here

on windows xp:
pc companion (version 2.10.136, but it's the same with older versions) gives me an Error 100 while flashing the phone.
SEUS version 2.13.2.40 gives error without saying what type of error it is.
i already tried with another computer and with another cable.
The only thing that worked in the past was to flash donut 1.6, but it has disappeared from the internet, it seems....

maybe something went wrong with the bootloader unlocking procedure? i did the unlocking thing some time ago, it never allowed me to install new kernels (always got soft bricks)...
before this particular soft brick, i had donut on the phone, because previously i had tried to flash kernel + android 4 but i never succeeded in doing that, so i came back to donut because nothing else worked. Donut was doing well until i tried to flash gingerdx...yeah i know, i should have done this with more precautions, but i thought that i could come back to donut in a matter of minutes, be it the case....the installation went good with xrecovery (standard procedure) but as soon as i rebooted i got stuck with the sony ericssonn boot screen....
So, now i should have donut with a broken installation of gingerdx. The question is: with this situation, can i try to relock the bootloader to see if that is the cause that is keeping me from installing eclair 2.1? what do you think? i read that relocking the bl can hard brick the phone, if it doesn't have a stock rom on it. But as stated before i should have donut
p.s. sorry if there are some mistakes in the posts, but i'm not english, you know...

CWM is required for installing GDX!
Try flashing stock kernel & then use PC companion or SEUS

in some case u dont need to come back with donut..because x8 was upgrade till 2.1 by sony
the best choice is
try using another os on your computer
reinstall all drivers and flashtool
make sure your phone battery is 80%
flash the ftf again..u can download from here

Unless you are truly dealing with a X10i - in which case you posted in the wrong device section - you're using the wrong FTF for your X8/W8.
The Xperia X8 is an E15i or E15a, the Xperia W8 is an E16i or E16a ("i" and "a" depends on the type of GSM network at your place).

Good then. So I understood you already have flashtool. Firstly download this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-10-5-1-0-292-t2943618). After that you go to the flashtool folder, and find the firmwares folder. Copy the ftf file there. Open flashtool. Be sure you have the xperia z drivers on your PC. If not you can find them here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830). After you confirmed you have the drivers, press the lightning button from flashtool. Select "flashmode" and press OK. Select the .ftf file you downloaded and check all the things on the wipe section. After that, press flash and follow the instruction from the screen (if it's stuck at prepare for flashing, just wait, or if it takes really long, close the program and redo the things from above). Wait until the flashing it's over, disconnect the phone, and start it. It should be like new. (NEVER close the program before the flashing it's over. It can hardbrick your phone. Also be sure your phone has over 50% battery. Let it to charge for one hour if you are not sure about that).
If something goes wrong, just ask here what is the problem.
I hope I helped you
EDIT: Here you can download flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php)
I wrote a small Flashtool tutorial that may help as it has images to guide you. Part 1 shows how to install drivers and part 3 shows how to flash a rom.
