[Q] Each ROM stuck at boot screen

Hi, this is my first thread.
I tried to install GingerCruzt 8.4 on my X8 but failed. I am on stock 2.1 ROM which is rooted and xRecovery installed.
I don't understand where I was wrong.
1. Boot into recovery
2. Full wipe
3. Choose install custom zip
4. Again full wipe (also tried without this)
5. Reboot
6. Stuck at boot screen (picture with girl and title GingerCruzt) for looong time (15-20 mins)
Do I need to wait longer?
I also read many threads about this but didn't find solution.
Also tried to install FroyoBread 023b via xRecovery but same thing happend.
CWM Recovery came with FroyoBread and I tried to instal GingerDX 021 but no luck. Same problem.
What is the solution if it is solvable?

I'd rather not unlocked bootloader.
@sidewalk_
Tried full wipe but did not help. Maybe I missed something?

But I think you must!

I also try to install FroyoBread and it stuck at boot screen. It does not need custom kernel. I think that I missed something, but what question is now?

do u have latest baseband and build id? try fullwipe,wipe cache,dalvik cache,wipe battery stats and try again,if problem still persists then flash to 2.1 again and root

YOU have the wrong Baseband you need x15

Thanks for help.
Tried everything that you wrote. Restore with PCC, full wipe, wipe dalvik, battery cache but nothing.
Baseband xxx015
Kernel 2.6.29
Build 2.1.1.A.0.6
Can be problem a busybox (1.17.2)? When I rooted phone I installed busybox by coping it to /system/bin without installing it via market (this tutorial youtube.com/watch?v=sJIU5qIdC-w). Same i did with chargemon and xrecovery. Now I find that busybox needs to be installed via market.
Is there a diference betwen chargemon in this tutorial above and that one in stock ROM.

Me again
I tried to repair with PCC, again.
Rooted with SuperOneClick folowing this tutorial (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046605).
Rebooted.
Than I copied chargemon, busybox and xrecovery to /system/bin/
Rebooted.
Enter xRecovery.
Flashed GingerDX v013 via xRecovery
Rebooted
Enter CWM Recovery
Flashed GingerDX v021
Flashed Addons for stock kernel
Full wipe
Reboote
Stuck at GingerDX logo for 30 mins than I pulled batery out
Baseband xxx015
Kernel 2.6.29
Build 2.1.1.A.0.6
Also I tried to flash this (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105745) via xRecovery and tried to install v021.
Btw, I tried to instal Floyo 1.0 but nothing.
I am out of ideas. Please help )

Solved. SD card was problem. Probably bad one.

[H] Unlocked bootlaoder

Hi i am using x8 and i unlocked the bootlaoder put thealfs kernel butafter that stock rom cant load and icant upload my gingerdx rom any ideas how to fix ?
One more thing after i unlocked the Bl before i put alfs kernel i had no signal

Relock your bootloader and try unlocking again with Setool2. That should give you signal back but not sure as I can't really remember .
You should have flashed a custom before flashing a kernel. Go into recovery by pressing back button on logo, go down to mounts and storage then mount USB. Then copy the rom over.

new problem

I have no intentions to pay for this tool setool2 moreover i uplaoded the kernel and the rom successfully but the problem is no taht i am stuck at infinity loop on GingerDX logo... :X
I will be really glad if someone can help i managed to put new kernel , rom and now i am stuck with infinity boot loop :X:X:X:

Try install back the stock 2.1 eclair with stock kernel and do everything again, use SEUS.

new problem now i restored the bootloader relocked it now ito nly vibrates and nothing happens it tursn off and i can enter in flash mode only. But i cant restore stock kernel icant do anything after i relocked the bootloader
EDIT:
I restored flash kernel but i want new kernel adn when i unlock bootloader there is nos ignal :X:X:

That's not a surprise. Since Alfs has a built-in recovery You should enter to it, then do wipe data / factory reset and then flash ROM using install zip from sd card. Because You had installed ROM before and didn't wipe data - that's why it stuck and it's bootlooping.

New problem mate when i unlock the bootloader i have no signal i put alfs kernel gingerdx runs normally but no signal . I relock the bootloader and than the phone cant boot and i must restore the old kernel:X

Did You check what type of Simlock Certificate is in Your x8 using s1tool? Cause there shouldn't be any problem with signal when it's SEMC... I suppose it's "not recognized simlock certificate" in Your case.

did you try unlock with flashtools? i read somewhere that some people with your same problem works fine with flashtools

[Q] x8 new ROM problem, need help

Hi guys, I'm having trouble with new ROM installation. I've been using Gingercruzt ROM since last spring with stock kernel. Bootloader is not unlocked, I've only rooted the phone. It's been working fine until I decided that I want to try something new today. I downloaded the GingerDX rom and installed it with CWM. Everything went fine and I rebooted the system. The phone didn't start, it got stuck on the SE logo. I couldn't enter CWM or xRecovery anymore. It bricked. Using SEUS I brought back the stock rom. I rooted the phone again, installed newer version of CWM from the toolkit, etc. I downloaded the zip again, installed it again - it bricked the phone the same way. Then I tried with two different roms - FroyoPro and Free Dom experience with full wipes on everything before installing - same thing, doesn't start. I was able to enter xRecovery with FroyoPro but no CWM and it get stuck at rom's loading screen.
Help please, what happened to my phone Why doesn't it load a ROM like it did yesterday?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I cleared all the possible caches, system and other folders. I even formated my sd card, just in case...
I downloaded all the right roms for stock kernel, all three of them. As I said, I've done this before and it worked from first try.
Thanks for trying to help me!

You should not format /system, cause you are actually removing recovery+rom
& are you sure that froyopro supports stock kernel?

try to redownload the rom. flash it again after a full wipe, then reboot.
signature under repair

I cleared the system folder before flashing a new ROM just to make sure I have deleted the stock ROM.
I tried with three different new ROMs, none of them started. Strange thing... everything goes well with the install and then it just won't turn on.
Do you think it's going to be different If I try to unlock the bootloader and flash nAa's kernel? I don't really want to do that but the phone is manufactured before the 29th week so it's capable.

are you sure it doesnt turn on?,first boot may take some minutes...

Yeah, I know, I've left it for more than 15 minutes with any of the tried roms.
I think I should write down the steps I'm taking after the flash back to stock rom with SEUS.
1. Activating debugging mode and unknown applications.
2. I already have the Android SDK, adb server and drivers from before so I open SuperOneClick and root the phone. Busybox is installed and Superuser is on. Everything goes smoothly during the process.
3. Using x8toolkit I install xRecovery and CWM via Dualrecovery.
4. Reset and entering CWM. Full wipe, install from zip, installation goes without problems and says - Go on buddy, restart and start using
5. Reset, Sony Ericsson logo and that's it. Nothing more happens. With GingerDX and Free Dom experience I can't enter recovery any more. FroyoPro's starting screen shows up after the SE logo but that's all it does - it never goes any further. I can enter xRecovery but no CWM.
I tried installing roms with both xRecovery and CWM - all the same. Could it be some physical damage even though the stock rom runs perfectly well? I don't know, I'm a bit desperate as the battery lasts half a day with the stock rom.

Just to end this thread, nothing worked for me so I unlocked the bootloader, flashed nAa's kernel and got a new ROM compatible with it - it works like a charm now. Thanks for your support guys!

[Q] Installed a Custom Rom and phone bricked, what was the problem?

Hello everyone, i have Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 11w43, android version 2.1, rooted.
Today i installed the rom GingerDX, i think everything was correct, i had
- Busybox installed
- Rooted
- Xrecovery installed
...
when i selected the file update.zip it told me that The rom was installed and i rebooted(i thinked that i must factory reset after rebooting from the options menu) and my phone bricked(stops on SE logo when starting)
I used SEUS and fixed the problem, but i don't know what was the problem
must i do something other to work, or its because i have 11w43?
If i do it again and do fullwipe directly after installing the rom will it be now working or not?
i need help

I think its just bootloop
how to fix:
- download stock firmware from my signature
- flash with flashtool
- root again (video for root)
- install CWM (optional - watch this video)
- flash alfs kernel
- wipe dalvik cache and batery stats from CWM
- factory reset
- install ROM
Done

are you on stock kernel?
1. do not update busybox if you are.
2. use cwm, not xrecov. if using xrecov use v13 and below.

your phone's bootloader is locked..
so for a locked bootloader you have to install a Stock Rom..
if you install a custom rom on your stock kernel..i.e locked bootloader your phone will get soft bricked..
go on the GDX page again. and look for the stock rom.. ! your problem should be solved.. :good::good::good::good::good::good:
Source: Did the same mistake
then realised the difference between stock and custom roms!

oh Yeah
i tried flashing stock FTF and i even tried to flash full or just the kernel
the kernel finishes without error and the full ROM crashes at the end of flashing the system (kernel, partition, FOTA etc all good)
EDIT 1
i managed to enter CWM but battery level too low to flash
