[Q] Xperia X8 kernel flash problems - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I got a problem you all might only be able to help me. I successfully rooted,unlocked bootloader,flashed E15_nAa-ics-03_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-03.ftf and installed MINIcm9 3.0.2 shakira on my Xperia X8. The rom itself acted a bit slow and the wifi was dropping so i decided to reflash the kernel on E15_nAa-ics-03_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04.ftf and put MINIcm9 3.0.5 shakira on the phone. But after i flashed the newer kernel the phone just got blank black screen with no reaction whatsoever. I used SUS to bring the phone back from the dead and started over again used SE tweaker tool to root the phone then unlocked bootloader with S1 tool which reported lowercase r as a sign of unlocked bootloader and flashed the old kernel E15_nAa-ics-03_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-03.ftf again. And no recovery menu just blank screen again i didnt miss anything im open for any ideas.
1.Should i first try to relock the booloader after i revive the phone?
2.Am i totaly F*** and have to deal with the fact that phone stays on Android 2.1?
btw.. I used Flashtoolx64 ver, 0.9.9.0 it worked perfectly first time. I have all drivers for the process.
Thanks for the help fellas im counting on you all

Try to redownload the kernel and reflash it again. Or you can try to flash other kernel to see what happens. If the other kernel works, maybe the problem is in your ftf file.

Stuck at SE Logo! SEUS won't work :(

Okey guys! So i have searched and read like crazy about this and i can't seem to find anything that works
It all started with,
I had GingerDx 23b installed, i noticed that Omnius now have a free campaign for all of there stuff (i think). It will last for this easter. Anyway i couldn't do anything there because when i restart my phone i need to hold the back button in and connect the cable (like normal). But the phone won't boot when i do that (do not know why)
So i wanted to reinstall a stock Eclair 2.1.. Since GDx23b don't have xRecovery which i needed for this 2.1 rom i found, i tried to install xRecovery. Then when i rebooted my phone i got stuck..
I have tried PC Companion and SEUS but can't get contact with them :/
Thank you for your time and help in advance

[Q] Boot Loop Problem

I'm stuck up with sony ericsson logo after installing the ROM CM 7.1. How to fix this issue.
Use PCC/SEUS to flash back stock ROM
Because you didn't click "full wipe" !
And u even just didnt bothered searching before posting...
omg is your s bootloader unlocked did you change kernel to nAa and post in Q/A
Actually what i did was , First i installed Ginger Dx, i can't use the phone continiously if too many apps are installed the phone get's restarted often. so i planned to change cm7.1. so i did wipe/reset data , after that i installed the CM7.1 ROM.The phone is stuck up with the sony ericsson logo screen. I heard by flash boot the image file will rectify this problem is it correct?

PCC= Sony PC Companion.
SEUS= Sony Update service.
Download programs. They are for updating our phone (and other sony phones).
We use them for repairing (we click on update and program say "you have latest android version or something like that and "do you want to repair it" !
With thoose 2 programs we fix soft brick...!
I'm stuck at SE screen too..but I was restoring a backup of gingerdx and my led isn't working when connected to pc...Tell me this is fixable please...

do you mean in flash mode ??? or turn on mode ??

help with flash mode

i have a little problem, today a flashed again cm7 for stock, then i got a bootloop, the device turned on and restarted automatically, that happened before and i got past it, but the problem now is when i try to flash back to stock, i connect my device in flashmode and then it starts up after some time, and it doesnt complete the flashing process, do anyone knows what is wrong? o what am i doing wrong?
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
hey bro......can u plz post the log...........

if its still not working flash this file to back into 2.1 X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf
make sure your drivers was installed correctly and your cable when plugging to your phone
Solved, flashtool always Was my saviour but not this time, somehow the drivers messed up and pc companion did the trick

W8 stuck on bootup after installing a custom OS.

Help me guys.
I had rooted my phone and installed GingerDX on my W8. Used it for some time but then I wanted to try a new OS.
So installed GingerXperia v22 & 23. I liked both of them but they had many bugs and weren't functioning properly.
I came across this video www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=VONr7v4o1Bs . It has mentioned GingerXperia v25 in its description with a link to it.
I took a risk and installed this in my phone.
But now my phone is stuck on the initial SE screen. It can't access xRecovery on pressing the "back" switch.
What should I do now ?
The date under the battery is 11W32.
use pccomanion or flashtool to flach stock rom....
i dunno if this rom want a custom kernel,but you cant unlocked your bootloader!!!!!
hey bro dont worry its no big deal..........reflash the stock rom using flash tool...............it will be fine........and next time be careful.............
This is what you need to do.
1.iF You dont have pc companion install it.
2.after that plug your phone into your pc, then click on update.
3. it will say that it didn t detect your phone, CLOSE THAT WINDOW.
4.somewhere there should be an option repair. Hit that and do thaat what instructions says.
Hope that helped
thanks guys, used SEUS and reinstalled the default version
Before download a rom, read whether it support stock kernel or not, good luck

[Q] My Xperia Z doesn't boot ....

Heys guys,
Never had such a problem: my Z doesn't boot any longer.
What happened: my BL is open, my phone's rooted, and yesterday I flashed the DoomKernel v12 (no more wifi-reboots!).
Everything worked fine, and before I felt asleep, I turned my phone off and charged it with my dock. Something strange happened: I saw the Kernel Bootanimation for short, then the symbol for charging.
Now this morning I want to turn it on: DoomKernel, then short "Xperia" (?, never had this before), then the boot animation, which never ends.
I try to flash system and kernel with the flashtool, with no success. I still can access my dual recovery and the fastboot mode, I've done a backup with TWRP, just in case.
Do you have an idea, what I should try? I don't want to flash everything to stock (if possible).
Thanks in advance!

Doesn't really help me :/
I even try to restore everything with flashtool (wipe everything and flash everything), still got the same problems....
Maybe because of the DoomLord Kernel v12?
Is there a way for booting with adb or something like that?
OK guys, it's over now, SUS dit it.... But only after the third or forth try...
Can be deleted / closed, thank you!
