[Q] Rescue Me (X8 stuck in Boot screen)

Hi. I've Xperia X8 : Rooted, downloaded rom (miniCM7 2.0.7) and all this in CWM.
I tried to install GingerDX but you know GingerDX need xRecovery not CWM so i searched to install xRecovery then I found this apk app( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128854 ) i installed it and installed xRecovery and everything ok BUT when i rebooted my phone my phone stuck in the Boot screen (Sony Ericsson) and nothing new! HELPP PLEASEthxxxx all
Umm, maybe you can try repairing with PCC or SEUS.
Can you still get to xrecovery?
If yes, you can restore a backup with it.
If not, then flash the stock ROM again with Flashtool/SEUS/PCC
And the next time you want to install GingerDx, install the Dual Mode Recovery, it´s very easy, just search for it.
mmm
Well, i wanted xRecovery, but now im scared i want to find a good tutorial on the forum but i dont know, can someone recommend me one that is good for my xperia x8
@Himalay & @codfreak thxx I softwared my phone and everything is ok.
Now I installed xRecovery again (root, busybox, root explorer and I moved all to system/bin ) but when I rebooted my phone and when I pressed the back button its stuck again in logo screen, but when I don't press the back button its start without stucks! Any help ?

[Q] My Xperia X8 Stop on Sony Ericsson after install Chainfire 3D

Excuse me.
I'm want to ask.
Why my Xperia X8 just stop in "Sony Ericsson" not Sony Ericsson logo, after install Chainfire 3D. I'm using GC 8.5 ROM + Kernel nAa 08b
At the first, I install Chainfire 3D and suddenly the phone is error then the phone off.
But when I turn on, the phone just stop in nAa Logo not Sony Ericsson Logo. But can enter to CWM.
After that, I full wipe from CWM and install new Custom ROM. But the phone still stop.
Then, I flash to stock eclair with Flashtool and used Stock Kernel. but the phone still stop in "Sony Ericsson"
Do you think, what happen with my Xperia X8 ? And what should i do to repair my Xperia X8 ?
Sorry, if my English is bad.
Try to flash new kernel and than instal costum rom (full wipe befor and after rom instalation).
It should work
Well it has been said that chainfire can brick our x8. Guess those rumors are true. Did you try seus?

[Q] Stucks after flashing or installing ROM.

I flashed the latest official firmware...
Than after all my attempts i can't install any ROM, except official 2.1.
Please, write me instructions how to install CM7 - i need help...
I have rooted 2.1 with xRecovery - what's next?
Go to xrecrovery choose instal custom zip from sd card hoose zip from sd card find your mini cm 7 install rom and factory reset/full wipe.
It depends on ROM. Some of CM7 works only on custom kernels, so You should first check if You will be able to unlock bootloader. Look behind Your battery - on the stick there should be something like xxWyy which will tell You the year and the week of Your board. If it's older than 11W26 (26th week of 2011) - U may unlock bootloader and install custom kernel (on Your own risk ;P). If not - You shouldn't do this and search for ROMs working on SE stock kernel

Also, some ROM required CWM instead of Xrecovery, so read carefully before attempting anything.
Hmmmm
I unlocked bootloader long time ago(10WW48 on the sticker).
to przemek4113: Just installing from xrecovery gives me a unbooting phone.
I tried Froyo, but it doesn't boot too.
Then i'm flashing(Xrecovery doesn't give me a booting phone even if i recover all system) official 2.1.
This phone was bought with GinderDX on it. But latest versions need new kernels(flashing kernel bricks phone).
May be try Previous versions of GingerDX?
Really, i tried about seven customs...
P.S. I'm installing xrecovery ROM's from Xrecovery and CWM ROM's from CWM...

Mind to elaborate where you read that "latest versions need new kernels"?
GingerDX runs on STOCK KERNEL, LinuxDX as well as Alfs. I fail to find the part in doixanh's post where it says something about forcing a certain kernel to be used.
Make sure you have an older x8 than 11w29, its under the battery. When the number is 11w29 or newer, you'll not get CM. Unlock your bootloader.
Download and flash FXP kernel. Install official CM with the kernel built-in CWM. I recommend to flash nAa kernel after install the CM, it's much better.

If you want CM7 you should go to this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585
That's my fault - i was speaking about another ROM. Not GingerDX - but it doesn't boot too.
I followed advise about miniCM7.
Flashed kernel ->then wiped all(i disliked the message about ext4 - there's no this partition - probably that's the problem???) ->installed ROM. Nothing.
"nAa kernel" logo appears and then it reboots.
UPD:
I've installed GingerXperia(v19) via CWM.
Then -
I've flashed all kernel,fota and smth else(not all files from 2.1.1).
Then it booted...strange)
But i'll try to work with other kernels...

Flash Tool - I've seen links on it thousand times on 4pda.ru, but not here - i suppose it to be in the branch about X10.
http://www.mediafire.com/?z7fmpiragbbdxdu - here is flasher.
http://depositfiles.com/files/c2gllgt6t - or here, with official firmware
It would be great if somebody could provide the step by step procedure of flashing my w8 to get past the se logo....
1)Download all archives above
2)Run flasher
3)Press "Flash" and choose necessary firmware
4)follow advices of software
5)reboot -> You have official 2.1
then
1)check your bootloader(http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/1227710/S1tool.7z) with this tool
2)unlock it if it is able for you
3)take root(superoneclick with debugging)
4)make xrecovery
5)install any xrecovery zip
or
alt 5)make CWM
alt 6)install any CWM zip
or
install kernel
then install zip
Firstly try it from xrecovery. If you have some problems - write PM to me)
I have done it and successfully flashed as per flashtool...but now even i cant boot stuck at "sony ericsson" now the animated logo works and reboots automatically...pls help
Have you done "user-wipe" in Flash Tool???
Here is from friendly branchcontains a collection of GingerDX 013-022 and some other goodies in the "Sony Ericsson" folder - i.e. Basebands, PCC, SEUS, Flashtool)

[Solved] Installing FroyoBread on GingerDX

Hey. Im sorry for making another topic but I have problems. As I have managed to back up my game saves I wanted to install FroyoBread on my Xperia X8. I have currently installed GingerDX 30. My question is: Do I have to do any special tricks like downgrading or smthing, or I just put the zip file on my SD card and then install it from Recovery? Also, I have stock kernel and not unlockable bootloader.
didn't you use titanium backup for your apps? Provided the apps are compatible with 2.2, just restore them using titanium backup.

You didnt understand my question. I want to install android 2.2 froyo but I have currently installed adroid 2.3. I want to know how to install that android 2.2 ( Froyobread). Do I have to use PC programs like SEUS to downgrade my phone to 2.1 and then install 2.2 or I directly install 2.2 in recovery.

Thanks for your reply but I have next issue. Im using Clockworkmod recovery and when I want to install zip file, installation soon after is aborted. It tells me to switch to Edify scritping. I dont know whats going on. My recovery is CWM-based recovery v4.0.1.5
Can I use this tool? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903598
Yes, you can use it. Or simply use xrecovery to install roms what use the old amend scripts.

Ofcourse I have next issue. I installed Froyo in recovery, but installation took only 1 minute. Now my phone is stuck on FroyoBread boot animation. My phone cant get past this boot animation. Animation is looping all the time. What happened?
Edit. After 10 minutes, animation freezed.
K, after few restarts and full wipe it started to work.
