crap i messed up, help! - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

So i was doin fine w/ the ROM curiosity 1.4 ( ICS) and i tried to update it, found out i needed to have the JB updated.. zip flashed in recovery the doom JB kernel beforei flashed the stock JB FW over( so i didnt flash the new JB FW at all ) , and now cant get it to boot up. I get to the boot screen thenit restarts. I can access both recoverys with vol + and -.. but cant get it to load fully up.
also another thorn is that i usually did this on my windows laptop but thats unavailable now, and im on a linux netbook ( and i dont have great knowledge on linux)
I tried to flash a ICS kernal back but that didnt work. And i stupidly erased my backup i made earlier today and didnt remember to make a new one :/ ...
I have the ftf file of stock JB downloaded, where can i go from here/ i may get on a windows xp desktop but ill have to get the drivers and such again...
Help

Flash a stock ftf.
Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Sent whilst sat on the toilet.

yea its all unlocked.. ok so a stock ftf?
i cant get into the usb debuggin tho? how can i ? in recovery?
* also in linux :/ havent figured it outyet...

If your usb debugging was in before it should be now.
Just install flashtool on your Linux machine and use it as normal.

[Q] HELP XPERIA X8 Failed Flash(kernel) WON'T BOOT UP

Hello, I have unlocked Bootloader today and then tried to flash kernel and it failed and when I try I boot up the phone it won't boot! It just stays in black screen and vibrates when you turn it on. Won't even load to the Sony Ericsson screen ;(. Please help. Need the phone before 14th July. Thanks
http://filecrop.com/search.php?w=X8..._f=100000000&engine_r=1&engine_h=1&engine_m=1
Go to here download the first one (219mb) place it in your firmwares folder (where you place kernels) > run x10mini flasher> select flash > select the file > and flash and it's automatically clicked on 'loader.sin' doesn't matter if it's either kernel.sin or w/e it will flash both anyway but just have it on loader.sin lol.
Have your x8 turned of. Connect the usb to the android but don't connect the other end to the computer just yet. Once it's connected to the android and make sure it's turned off beforehand, connect the other end to the pc. Hopefully it should display the green LED light when you just connect it. Hit and hold the back button once you see the LED and connect the usb into the computer. DO NOT LET GO OF THE BACK BUTTON. and wait until it says 'connect in usb debugging mode' and make sure it reads 'flashing finished' before that. After that take of the usb of both ends. power on the device and your device is brand new lol.
I also assume that it's impossible for a kernel to fail installation unless:
you didn't hold the back button down or you let go in the process.
You flashed the wrong kernel E.g. GDX and flashing naa ICS kernel (which is unlikely just an example) cause the KERNEl is only made for ICS and therefore they don't go together so ~
And also for some custom roms you must have it completed in a all in one process. That means you flash the kernel and straight away boot in CWM and flash the rom and install and wipe anything else bla bla bla. But if it is NOT a all in one process then u can just flash the kernel then flash the rom 1 by 1. Read the instructions carefully on the rom and the kernel that's required to flash to use the rom. E.g. ICS rom by nAa which is minicm9 u have to flash kernel then boot into cwm then flash rom. It says that in both articles but this mistake happened to me in the past when I forgot to put the rom in the sd card so I had to contact one of my mental cheap 'friends' lol. Hopefully this works out for you if you need any help just say. And try and provide me with some more detail if all else doesn't work. I'll try my best to answer your query. Remember if you flash that EVERYTHING is gone so it's better than nothing and I also like it when you get to start anew =D.
I also found the quickest and easiest way to get the rom kernel rooted and everything all in one guide I can write up for you once your finished. Let's just get you out of this situation first
That is brick phone..
Yeah just flash stock kernel with flashtool.
And don't forget if you want upgrade, your baseband must 015
and do not flash wrong kernel...must compatible with your rom..

Yes, I put it in the Firmware folder. I downloaded some random stock '.ftf' yesterday and they don't fix the phone

hello, Can you guys tell me which kernel version is safe to flash on my x8?? Bricked my device once before so i dont wanna risk it again. im currently running on gingerdx (i dont know which CM version is that rom.). i have downloaded nAa 07. but i dont know whether its safe or not,. Any help would be much appreciated..
Gingerdx works only on alfs kernel for gdx not even alfs for cm7 you can use alfs gdx V09a but if u have hitachi drivers for lcd you might have some screen cuts, even though works fine for me you can try it or else V08.. don't forget flash addon for V08 and update rom for V09a after flashing kernel and rom..
Read all the instruction on gdx and alfs kernel thread you get to know everything required..
Sent by the walking walkman..
Try to change to stock kernel, maybe your rom don't support for that kernel...................or find a rom that support your flashed kernel, then flash the rom via flashtool
Depends on which GDX you're using. You have unlocked the bootloader? If so, use alfs kernel its on the rom's post -.-

as far as I know
miniCM7 - nAa
GigerDX - alfs
ow yeah!!
dont forget to always check updated kernel and ROM
had screen cut issues on alfs v9a, although worked fine for most of the games, i had to restart my phone to get rid of it. V8 was too laggy and didnt supported my rom very well. Had to switch to nAa 13 and DixinOS but its not smooth as alfsv9a. I will just have to wait for the bugs to be fixed. No option. Thanks dude,.

what do you use for flashing?
flashtool
flash back to stock using SEUS, then to flash the CM7 try to flash the compatible kernel first with flashtool, then flash the ROM with CWM

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.

[Q] Xperia X8 hangs up at Sony Ericsson logo

Hello. This is my final resort. -.-
I used miniCM7-2.2.1. I've tried everything that has been suggested. My X8 hangs up on the Sony Ericsson logo and I cant access the xRecovery menu. To shut my phone down, I have to take out the battery, since it wont shut down when it hangs up no matter how long I hold the power button. Then I insert the battery again; but when I connect the USB cord, it starts up automatically and then hangs up again. I've tried flashing it but it wont detect in flash mode even if the led is green. so no luck on flashing. I tried SEUS but it says I already have the latest software installed so no luck in updating either. Somebody help! T.T
SUMMARY:
-Hangs up on logo screen
-Cant access xRecovery
-Doesnt detect flash mode (even when led is green)
-SEUS cant upgrade since latest software is installed
PLEASE HELP!
do you have pcc and x8 drivers installed? try rebooting your pc and attempt to flash again. you should be able to get into flash mode. also install gg drivers.
also, i can't quite remember, but doesn't minicm7 require a custom kernel?
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

only seus, pcc,or flashtool.. since you can't get into recovery.
i got it flashed. i figured i'd insert the battery after i plugged into pc. then i flashed it with a stock rom for e16i. worked like a charm. however, i still havent found the right custom rom yet. does anyone has any suggestions?
Dear bro,don't PANIC! its the only thing that makes us to create a bit useless threads..
try with Flashtool second time!
and if doesn't work use PC COMPANION its your best Companion
repair the X8 via PC COMPANION
- Turn off the phone, and unplug it from the PC !
- On your PC, uninstall Sony PC Companion
- Restart your PC
- On your PC, clean any Cache and Registry related to Sony PC Companion, then restart PC again.
- Reinstall Sony PC Companion by downloading it from here
- Turn on Sony PC Companion on your PC
- In Sony PC Companion, enter the Support Zone tab
- Go to Update Phone Software
A window will pop out, saying that it cannot find your phone
- Click on Fix Phone
- Click on Continue
A window will pop out, saying that you will lose all your data
- TICK the BOX
- Click on continue
An update process will began.
Wait for it to show a window with all the SONY mobile phones
- Find your phone (X8)
- Click on the phone.
Now all you have to do is follow the on-screen instructions. It will tell you to hold the back button and plug your turned-off X8 to the PC, then it will erase everything, and download the original 2.1 ROM to your X8.
If Sony PC Companion STILL doesn't recognize your X8, then, uninstall Sony PC Companion AGAIN, and start the above described process AGAIN. It WILL eventually work!

Well, I can tell you that I had a similar experience recently and I almost **** my pants. After having occupied the restroom, PCC worked for me absolutely perfectly, albeit I did have some problems installing the necessary drivers (had to do it from a different machine, obviously something in the registry was messed up).
Seeing you solved the problem, I recommend you install either a 2.2 or 2.3 ROM. Don't go for 4.x ones if you're up for normal use because they are way too strong for this little device (kudos to the developers who made these ROMs happen, though).
My recommendations:
2.2 - FroyoPro v2.5
2.3 - GingerDX v031b
Both work really well with custom kernels, and are very fast and stable.

OK,assuming you have probably root the phone, by the way can you managed to go into recovery mode in your phone? If so, then just copy your rom zip files into the SD card and install zip files from SD card in the recovery mode. By the which Rom and Recovery you are using?

[Q] I think some help is needed in urgency and wisdom

Hi everyone
After a lot of reading i decided to install a ROM. Now i was able to try to but none of them worked, so i ve been trying now for 3 days. I think i did it all as stated in this forums, it launched but never go to really open the OS, used to get stuck at the motorola or nexus logos or what ever logo from the different ROMs i downloaded.
I was able to go back to the original ROM but today im not being able to do so...
What can i do? Im at recovery and im able to restore boot but at system it says:Error while restoring /system!
I had it backedup at pc so i have also removed the one at sd card and tried with the one from PC.
What can i do (that doesnt involve getting another phone)
You can try RSDLite to flash back stock ROM just be careful and flash right ROM, otherwise you can brick your phone. You can't flash custom ROMs with RSD.

Boot the phone into bootloader/fastboot?
You have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed? I assume you have both since you were trying to install custom ROMs.
I have tried to the fastboot... im trying AP fastboot and theres where i am stuck right now.
Yes custome recovery and unlocked bootloader there. I had the phone moved to another couple of roms but the never loaded correctly so i went back to my original ROM, i tried a few other ROMs and none worked so this time i try to go back but it doesnt come back anymore... :laugh:
Try downloading PhilzAdvanced CWM Recovery. It is based off the latest CWM and should be able to flash your backups or ROMS. Maybe not your backups unless you made them with a CWM based recovery, but it should get you booted up.

1. Read the Myth Tools OP
2. Download Myth Tools
3. Download Philz CWM
4. Download a stock fastboot
5. Place the fastboot zip and the extracted recovery/cwm.img in their respected folders
6. Run Myth's executable and follow the instructions
7. If that doesn't work then read the faqs here and in the RAZR HD forums, all your questions have been answered already.
Still with same issue...
Phone is not recognized by the computer (tried 3 different laptops)
Cannot download the Drivers as its an automated process that begins when you connect the phone...
Does anyone knows an alternative to install AHD drivers ?

You can boot into recovery? If so download the latest philztouch cwm recovery, put it on your sd card, and flash it from recovery. Then flash the ROM you want.

1 i did read a lot before doing anything, still somehow screwed up, did read lots before asking here, still needed to ask... got answers, still needed to ask more... it was fun as everyone at work said: " its bricked fool buy a new one and stop playing to be good at something" but hell yeah its fixed!
2 i will try again to install another rom, i wont give up damn it!
3 i might begin with my wife Note 1, its old so its ok to brick it ha ha ha
4 damn it guys you are cool... wish i were 10% of you guys!
5 I think instead of all those different options out there we should recommend only to use the myth tools, its a complete package and its easy to use even with examples for newbies like me.
Again thanks and questions on friday after i brick it again e he he he...
The other stuff is there so you can understand what the automated stuff is actually doing.

Ok so i have started the process again. I cant tell what i am doing wrong. I have flashed 2 different roms and none worked... its like im missing something.
I root the device, unlock bootloader... set the recovery with cwm... flash the rom... and it goes to moto logo and then black screen... am i missing something?
I did the exact same for the stock rom and it did work... also i did it all exactly the same using now myth tools... so any ideas? Should i leave the phone alone because its just simply not going to work or am i missing anything?
