Newer nAa kernel have "idiot proof" feature that boots into CWM if there isn't any supported ROM installed.
But the problem in this thread is already resolved, isn't it?

now that explain everything... you are probably flash rom witch is not compatible with stock kernel! if you can access xrecovery flash gingerdx v13, then you will get cwm recovery preinstalled in rom, then from cwm flash latest version of gingerdx! both version you can find here:
GingerDX v13
Latest GingerDX

yeah
if you're backing up from old system and restore in a new system (ROM) you can got brick OR from new system to old system
so after flashing Kernel, you must backup first
factory reset
wipe battery stats , etc
finally flash ROM
then I think you can restore your data..
Flashtool helps when seus or pc companion does not... just select the firmware for your device and flash it. it always work.
Heres the gudie to use flsh tool.. download stock rom. Ftf file and..

[Q] How do i solve this? VIDEO ADDED...

I got a X8 that has been bricked, but the phone still haven't reach me yet...
Last time i posted my topic here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688987
but i posted at a wrong section, sorry about that...
This is the info from the thread i posted at the wrong section
Code:
Hi all...
My friend sent his X8 to a phone shop to get it updated to android 2.3.7 and ended up with a bricked phone cause by that phone shop.
Now, which according to him stuck at the white "Sony Ericsson" logo...Which i know is a soft brick and most probably can be saved by flashing it with PCC or SEUS or FlashTool.
I have ask him to flash it with SEUS or FlashTool, but not successful, still stuck on the SE logo, i doesn't know weather he do it wrongly or does not has any patient...
I gonna buy this phone from my friend, and repair the phone myself.
I want to ask u guys is there any other reason for the phone to stuck at the SE logo other than bricked phone? Could it be a hardware prob?
8/6/2012 UPDATE:
Just now my fren turn on the X8, it stuck at the white "Sony Ericsson" text, and after a moment, the phone reboot itself and stuck at there again and reboot itself again and again...
guys, based on the latest update from my friend, can this phone be saved?
And do share some experience if u do encounter such prob...
9/6/2012 UPDATE:
This morning i trying to flash my phone again...
I flash it with android 1.6 stock ROM (1.3.A.0.62) and it would boot up normally...
I also try to update the phone from 1.3.A.0.62 to 2.1.1.A.0.6 by using PCC, but also remain the same...
Then i flash it with FlashToool using 2.1 stock ROM (2.1.1.A.0.6 and 2.1.1.C.0.0) it would ended up like this see the video below
My X8 with 2.1 stock rom:
What type of brick is this?
Thanks...
Cheers...
And have a nice day

after that i flash it with 2.1.1.A.0.6 stock rom, and it stuck at the white SE logo and keep rebooting...
Help guys...
I dont really know bout the condition. Usually works with seus or flashtool. Maybe something has been changed, like kernel or/and baseband. Maybe u would need to flash stock kernel and baseband too. Try flashing them and hope it ll work.

The stock kernel and baseband comes together with the ftf file package right?

try this X8_E15_2.1.1.C.0.0_generic.ftf.7z
Make sure your flashtool is at it's lastest version
Flashtool-0.6.9.1-windows.exe
Tips: Just double click the firmware during flashing operation and ignore second second windows that shows information about the .tft package & press ok

Please help me, I'm using Xperia T, rooted , locked bootloader, using custom rom, I get this error so many times now, and can't flash back to stock rom, thank you for reading, any help is appreciated
If you cannot boot into the OS, try Sony Update Service software.
It should work since you're still on locked bootloader.

Hackitz rom is on different kernel.. I'm afraid i might brick the device, and I can't flash it at all, that's why I want to go back to stock rom, btw, if i want to go back to stock rom, I can just flash one of the ftf in the AIO provided right ?, or can i just unroot it and use Sony PC compaion to update it ?

If you have not unlocked the bootloader then repair using pc companion. This will put you on the latest firmware and kernel. Then root, install recovery and flash xperiment rom.
Or try flashing your .140 stock ftf and exclude everything except the kernel.

nope, it won't..only unlocked bootloader without a ta keys backup will void your warranty

1) download this ftf https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B986eZvi0Z2KZWxQLXhIMmJnWW8/edit ( thanks to @CorePrideX8 )
2) download the flashtool from here http://www.flashtool.net/download.php or https://unrestrict.li/flashtool
3) install the flashtool and navigate to the folder where flashtool was installed
3)open "drivers" folder and install the first 2(flashmode and fastboot)
4)transfer the downloaded ftf to the folder "firmwares"
5)open flashtool and press the thunder button..then choose flashmode
6)you will see the firmware on the left, choose it and press the flash button..wait until a message pop up saying to connect your phone
7)turn the phone off and while pressing the volume down button connect the usb(the illumination bar will light green)
I think your phone will reboot without flashing the firmware because your pc will install the drivers..in order to install it repeat the step 7
Hope it helps..
Im also looking to downgrade my phone from 4.3 to 4.1, I have the FTF and i'm ready to do it, but i was wondering what people recommend for backing up messages and call logs without root? (locked bootloader - can be unlocked but want bravia engine!)
Before updating to 4.3, i took a backup of my apps, call logs, messages...everything in the Sony PC Companion - Backup and Restore program, but once I had updated to 4.3, the backup would not restore properly and apps wouldn't reinstall, is this because of the change in android version? I came from Generic UK .254 for my C5303 and i used the C5303 Central European 1 .266 to upgrade. Im hoping that once i flash the original .254 ftf, the backup will restore properly right?
I just dont want to lose any text messages or call logs, helps me keep track of myself

yes, it's the different android version..you will be able to restore with 4.1..next time use titanium backup to backup apps and its data,sms,wifi,call log,bookmarks.
unhappy with 4.3
do i need to be rooted/unlocked bootloader to do the above method?
No, you just need flashtool and the FTF file of 4.1 for your region, I have my Generic UK .254 FTF uploading to google drive now, ill post the link once its uploaded.

true all my games like real boxing and real steel exit because not enough ram 4.3 update is piece of crap i hope sony will fix all bugs.it's not only the mobile bravia engine 2 but also the walkman and light effects. just download the generic uk firmware found in google drive and flash it using flashtool.

Thanks

Stuck at Sony boot logo... am i stupid?

Hi!
I have a Sony xperia Z1 (C9603) and a Locked Bootloader.
Several times I tried to install the iHakers ROM but didn't suceed. Each time I end up, as i said, stuck at the boot logo.
here is what I did :
Install Oficial FTF for Firmware 14.1.G.1.534. - Done
Root Your Phone Using VRoot or KingoApp Root or Whatever You Like. - Done
Backup TA Partition. - Done
Copy the ROM to External SDCard. - Done
Flash the Latest [NUT]'s XZ1Dual Recovery for Xperia Z1 via PC. - Done
Reboot into Recovery (If you already have a working Recovery, Skip the above steps). - Done
Make Sure to do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset before Installing the ROM. - Done
Start the Installation. (Install Zip >> Choose Zip for External SDCard). - Done
Switch Off Your Phone (Do Not Reboot). Select No to Disable Flash Recovery Confirmation. - Done
Skip to the Last Step if you are already on Firmware - 14.4.A.0.133/108. - I am on .108 but if I don't flash the kernel I am stuck.
Install Kernel.ftf for C6903 (.133) or Kernel.ftf for C6902 (.108) with Flashtool to get compatible Kernel and Baseband. - Here is my problem : I am french so I guess I need a french or universal kernel because I get this log

I downloaded the official French ftf file for 4.4.4 / 14.4.A.0.157
CM11 works on locked bootloader?

You may use internet download manager for downloading big files
cm11 only works on unlocked bootloader
and as you have backed up your ta partition so no worries
