X8 froce closing everything and cannot open xrecovery. Need help - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends.
Now I am with 2.2 cyanogen mod. I wanted to install FroyoBread.v23b so I put this folder into sd card and with oldest one xrecovery I tried to install it but it showed some error. So I decided to install other xrecovery "Bin4ry & Androxyde" OS Version 6.1. but after that I even cannot open xrecovery and when the phone loads up it starts to force closing everything so I cannot do anything.
Any ideas what to do? Please I really need a phone :/

...
Use PC Companion to restore the state of the factory and redo everything from scratch.

Use x8toolbox & get CWM & flash froyobread

use PC Campanion (the best way) to repair your phone its super clean and clutter free!
original latest 2.1.1 by Sony officially
or
Use flash tool (The fast Way) to repair your phone really quick and need to search
for the firmware of the original 2.1.1 and flash it by using flash tool
you can find the firmware in Gogeta's Signature,download it.

if u want to roll back your phone into 2.1 download this ftf file
or x8toolbox
and do clean flashing on kernel and ROM
dont forget to factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe batery stats
if u want install cwm use search button..n u will find topic about installing CWM

In both situations I get stuck in the same situation when I need to unplug the device, turn it off and while holding back button plug the usb cable again. Then nothing happens, phone starts as usual and starts showing many "force close" errors

Installing CWM by x8toolbox doesn't need flashmode

That happened with me too on froyobread..
The only option was to repair it with flashtools
sent from my phone using hands and brain...

Hi,
first of all, follow this tut to go back to clean 2.1 eclair.
Now you know what to do, root,xrecovery etc...
Reboot to xrecovery and FULL WIPE before installing the rom.
No more forse closing :good:
If it didn't work, try to full wipe after the installation(on xrecovery).

Be pleased. I get my phone recovered. Thanks a lot!!! It's now again 2.1. So now I know how to recover it, but just say your opinion - Basically what I need is not so stupid x8 blue color and function which allows to move apps to sd card. Is it worth to write some higher ROM again?

Of course it worths, if it doesn't then why are we here?!
Try what i wrote above.
Now that you know how to recover your phone from softbrick you have nothing to fear, except from hard brick ( this may happen while trying to unlock the bootloader)

Why I am saying that is because now, with original stock rom it works very fast without lagging compared with cyanogenmod 2.2 version which I had before. So Just few more questions - Its just your opinion, I know that there are so many Roms but for you which one is the fastest one and the most stable?
And maybe it's possible to install this Rom with same flashtool?

I can suggest you cm7 roms as they are smooth, bugfree and may have all the features you are looking for.
In order to install a rom on xperia x8 you need cwm or xrecovery(in most cases cwm), and this depends on the rom you are trying to install. To deside what recovery to use just read the installation instructions at the rom thread. So no, you can't install a rom with flashtool.

Everything is clear. Thanks a lot

You may just have to flash back to stock and try again. Sometimes these things are really finicky.

simple,
just flash the base room again (you will have to enter to the phone bootloader)
and continue from there to flash the ROM you want.

In a nut shell this.
Find and download the stock OS file to your phone and install it via the bootloader.
I think if you do a factory reset on your phone it will start normally. Just turn on your phone pressing X and when you see a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle, hold volume up and press the camra button. Use the D-Pad to select the option and then select Yes and see iuf it works.
Btw Fosly, the upgrade of 2.1 to 2.2, are using the ota update / custom rom?
Try this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845
Did u flashedthe base file on computer b4 flashing the rom ?
Or am i talking stupid things ?

bricked? what heppened???

hi yal , i think i just bricked my w8 ... i never bricked a phone before so i am not sure ...so it started lat night when i decided to try froyopro pro ...so i use gingerdx and clicked the reboot ...when i see the SE sign i tried to enter xrecovery (knowing my xrecovery has problems i just decided to try my luck) so nothing happened and as usual i hanged at the SE page...so i removed the battery and tried to go cmw , when i saw the SE page i clicked the screen quickly ...oddly thou nothing happen ..so i decided to try installing froyopro next time ...so i remove the battery and reboot the phone...but still i stuck at the same page...starting to panic i keep on removing the battery ...and the sd card and sim but nothing is helping ! imma stuck at the SE page! i think this is called a brick yes? i tried to wait for the battery to drain finish and recharge it hoping it will bbe okay ...but now the SE paage is gone and its only the backlight! help!!
i dunno what really happened ...i just wanted to go to xrecoverery/cwm to install froyopro ..now this happened =(
That's a soft-brick, no need to panic ... your phone still works.
See here about how to recover the device and be sure to follow steps to the letter.
woooa! my phone is now ok! but should i still mod my phone? with like froyopro or dx etc? since my phone is back to stock ! will my xrecovery and cwm still work??
will my link2sd also work? my phone seems to be formatted =( and without a rom i ant enter cmw and imma scared to enter xrecovery

If you followed the instructions I linked above ... did you miss the steps on how to root the phone and about how to inject xRecovery through Flashtool?
Once root and xRecovery is done ... copy the FroyoPro ZIP onto your phone's SD card (USB storage mode will work just fine as it's already running Stock 2.1.1 again), reboot into xRecovery, Flash FroyoPro from your SD card, Full-Wipe, Reboot.
If you get a boot-loop during the boot you forgot to full-wipe.

Why would you want to use Link2SD when Froyo and Gingerbread can move apps to the SD themselves?
Oh, and "without a ROM" can't be ... without a ROM your phone would be a brick.
i used the pc companion way ...and now my phone is back to square 1 without xrecovery / cwm / rom link2sd ...man should had followed your step just now...too rush >.< ...so does this mean i have to reroot rexrecovery and do everything from the starrt?

DEF YES! Good luck bro
No ... just get Flashtool ...
Turn on "Unknown Sources" and "USB-Debugging" in your phone's settings, launch Flashtool, connect the phone, and then follow the steps from "rooting" onwards to xRecovery.
Once that's done I already documented how to continue with flashing FroyoPro
flashtool is a downloaded software right? imma go dl it and look for a guide later ...so what your're saying is i don't have to reroot or reanything my phone just use flashtool? i think i will do it tonight since this is not my comp =P

dafuq did i just read
i don't get it. could you please explain a bit more?
like which rom did you flash, errors detail, etc.
get into recovery if you can and do a wipe data - factory reset, maybe could that help you, if doesn`t, pull up battery, get it into download mode again (volum down & home button & power button) then try reflash another rom
ah sry.. ok i managed to turn it on after an hour and half.....
i used simplisity plus this new rom,,and with broodromconf tried install new theme. and after resetart phone enterd bootloop,so i tryed reflash it wih odin KQ1 stock rom. but after stock rom was installed there wehere a lot of application error like "sorry! google.android.sms stoped working or google.upload stoped working" and coud not press any key or anything so i remove battery and after that, phone did not want to turn on,,,,ok i now i can turn it but i am getting this errors so what to do.
You should do exactly as chasemyass said. that should fix your problem.
maybe some content of broodrom configurator doesn't fit with Simplistic Plus. Just be more careful.
btw, clear dalvik cache first if you going to flash new rom.
requires dedoex and zipal...think simplistic plus have that...put that a side. i turn it on . flash feamod recovery and did factory reset and looks like it works now.. thx guys...
I can never fully guarantee that broodROM Configurator is compatible with all ROMS. Since it's actually made for broodROM it includes a method of installing the files as it would work on broodROM. Cranium & Stock ROM works tho.
and just format all partitions then reflash with odin and you will be fine
Rule #1 on using the configurator: ALWAYS MAKE A CWM BACKUP!

Please help! Updated GingerDX and not booting

I NEED HELP!
I've recently updated GingerDX from v28 to v29 using CWM. Once updated, I rebooted and now I'm stuck at the 'Sony Ericsson' screen. Nothing happens. Tried everything, but now the phone doesn't go past that screen. I can't even boot with CWM to apply any restore (I did a backup before installing new version of Gdx).
Please, anyone could tell me what to do? How do you boot the phone with CWM after turning the phone on? Is there any way to go past the 'Sony Ericsson' screen? Will I need to fully restore my phone to its original OS or anything?
(and most important... is this 'hardbricking' the phone?)
Thanks in advance!
It's just softbrick. Use PC Companion or Flashtool to install stock ROM, then root, install recovery etc.
repeatedly tap the screen at boot to access CWM. If you can get into there try to reflash rom, full wipe etc.
If you cant get into CWM you have a soft brick and you need to repair with PCC - re-root - re-flash etc..
Thank you for responding so fast.
I've tried tapping repeteadly the screen when turning on, but doesn't seems to work ('Sony Ericsson' screen is not moving anywhere).
And also I've installed PC Companion to do a factory reset, but this won't work either because it's asking me to turn on USB storage to connect to the phone, and since I can't get past the 'Sony Ericcson' screen there's nothing I can do.
Any ideas? I'm starting to freak out a little bit.
Thank you again.
Turn off your phone (by taking out the battery). Open PCC. Open support zone. Choose Update phone. It will shoe you a window, select repair.
Here you have some screens, it's in czech but you should know where to click.
My bad. I wasn't entering 'Support Zone'. It's done, the phone is restored to its awful Eclair system.
Since I'm doing all the process again (rooting, then changing baseband, then CWM, then installing GDX)... I'd like to start clean. Is it safe to format the SD Card? Besides losing pictures and stuff, am I running any other risk?
That should do it. Thank you guys again! I was unhopeful for a moment!
(still... what a waste of time doing all this again... but hey, the price you pay for using roms)

It is safe to format your SD card. Just backup your photos, music etc. to PC and format it. Then copy your stuff back to SD card.
OK NOW I'M REALLY UPSET!!!
I've done it all again:
1) rooted phone with SuperOneClick v1.9.1
2) installed 'xrecovery mini 0.1 beta' (copying the 3 files inside the .zip on the system > bin folder)
3) changed baseband from 006 to 015 using FlashTool
4) installed 'clockworkmod 3.2.0.0 r3 x10 mini Amend' using xrecovery
5) finally installed 'ginger dx v0.29' using clockworkmod
Now the Sony Ericsson screen again. Again, nothing. The phone is not booting. What am I doing wrong? Is any of those steps wrong?
I think I should stick to Gdx v028... if works... now I'm confused.
be sure you have installed the right rom for stucks and addons.and read for the fix.
You are missing the most important part...full wipe/factory reset before installing
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
v029 is buggy for me after fullwipe too so try staying on 28 maybe or make sure the one you install is for your kernel
Sent from my crap using xda app
I think I found what might be the problem:
In the GingerDX thread there are 2 .zips available for download:
.one that says 'Alfs/nAa'
.and one that says 'stock'
I don't even know what 'Alfs' or 'nAa' are, but I believe this version isn't suitable for my phone... anyone can check this? So I downloaded the 'stock' version, now I'm gonna try with this one.
I don't know anything about kernels and stuff... I've always flashed the ROM only... and it worked fine. Now I'm reading all this notes about kernels and Alfs and I don't even know what they are... but I'm starting to believe this has something to do with my phone softbricking.

if you have locked bootloader you have to flash stock version of ROMS.:good:
try downloading and replacing the ROM
Solved!
I've installed the 'stock' version of the ROM (GingerDX v029) and now it's working fine.
What did you mean with locking bootloader?

[Q] Accidentally deleted Gtalk and now i can' t access market

Hello everyone. First of all 2 days ago i rooted my phone to be able to use LINK2SD app.
So i started deleting stock apps that i didn't use at all. All working fine on my x8 since i deleted gtalk (I know i am idiot),
and i starting getting this error message: ''The process com.google.process.gaps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again''.
After that i realize that i cant download anything from market.
I 've formated my SD card's partitions hoping to change something after factory reset but nothing happened. I dont have xrecovery or rom manager.
I am running 2.1-update1 firmare
Baseband version: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015,
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
Build number: 2.1.1.A.0.6
I search the net for solutions and some people with the same problem with me have found a solution from PcCompanion or
Sony Ericsson Update but in my case, when i am trying to repair my firmware i have a strange issue.
When my phone is turned off and i hold the "back" button while inserting the USB cable from my PC says: "found new SEMCU"
(or something like that, i dont remember exactly) and my pc freezes after 10 seconds and i can't do anything.
I have to manually reboot it from the shut down button. So I can't update it.
I already tried to reinstall these 2 programms PcC & SEU and the same problem exist.
I also tried to boot to safe mode with connection and do the process again but the same story happends.
I have already read this thread where the thread-starter,
found his solution: ''oh nvm i fixed it, installed rom manager and a few other apks through adb install, and through terminal emulator flashed clockwork, then flashed stock ROM
thanks for all your help!'' but i can't understand what i must do and and i won't do any more damage to my phone.
Sorry if my english is bad.
Can anyone help me please??? I 'm stuck..:crying::crying:
