[Q] How can I unbrick my Xperia X8?

I installed another roms like Froyobread and Ginger DX v18 months ago..
What happened: I was trying to install Ginder DX when I got my phone bricked ! I do not know what to do, the phone turns on everytime and lock when the message "Sony Ericsson" appears.. I tried to backup and got fail.
What I did: I used PCCompanion to get my Xperia full factory wiped, then I installed Superuser, Astro File Manager and Root Explorer to install xRecovery later..
Then I turn off my phone to install CMW Recovery using xRecovery..
Successfully, I turned on my phone but it didn't pass the message "GingerDX"..
So I turned off my phone again (xRecovery).. and I installed again CMW Recovery using xRecovery..
Now I can't backup (I do not know why it didn't work.. when I backup, it get successfully, but when the phone starts, it locks when the message "Sony Ericsson" appears..)
What do I do? The phone keeps turning on without pressing the button to turn on, with that, I couldn't use PCC and I backup doesn't work !
Thanks.. and sorry my English !

Just flash back to stock Roms, use flash tool to root again reinstall your GingerDx again. No worry!

it sound like u forget to fullwipe after install GDX rom..
boot loop always happen when u not fullwipe..
if u did fullwipe, u have to download again the gdx.zip file
and install with the new gdx.zip file

use SEUS/flashtool to unbrick and mate always do a fullwipe from recovery menu before flashing a new custom rom

Possible solution!
OK I had similar problem, I solve it! By my experience I can say that you was actually trying to install gingerdxv21B on stock kernel, which can not be done as far as in the post of this rom is precised that you must use nAa kernel 08 ( you can check that on the original post and if it`s not nAa`s kernel, than is surely some other custom kernel, but not the stock one )! So, lets try to solve this!
1. If you used stock kernel to install gingerdx21b and if you are sure that you never try to use any custom kernel,than you can simply use this update service STEP BY STEP DON`T MAKE MISTAKES OF TYPE PLUG THE USB CABLE TO EARLY OR WITHOUT DEMAND ... It`s very simple program! I STILL CAN NOT POST LINK SO correct this link: mediafire.c o m / ? xxjypffvd173b0p [/ url ] by removing all free spaces. If you already have this program-even better!
2. If you used custom kernel and installation process had some unknown different issue than that that i mentioned above, just use your flash tool to flash back 2.1.1.A.0.6 (download it if you don`t have it), and than use the Update Service file that i linked above to help your phone get back in shape - REPAIR IT ALMOST AUTOMATICALLY!
3. NOTE! I have read some where in this forum that re locking bootloader is not essential, BUT I am recommending you if your bootloader is unlocked to read more about UNLOCK/RELOCK bootloader in case you want back to STOCK RULZ!

[Q] Install untrusted package when booting into cwm

Whenever I boot into Clockworkmod Recovery, it wants to install a package. Clicking on Yes, No or Go back tells me 'install aborted' and reboots the phone making it inpossible to backup, install new roms ect. It also happens with ROM Manager.
The only way I can get around this is with CM Updater, which lets me update the phone no problem.
My Phone is running Cm10.1-20130725-NIGHTLY with Stock Kernel
Is there a way to fix this without having to go to Odin and reflash my phone from the beginning?
(sorry if its in the wrong section)
Edit: Fixed, ROM Manager was the reason it happened and I was using the wrong button conbination. I should have done more research

What combination do you use? the download-mod???

Can't access recovery menu

Hello..
I have a problem trying to instal cyanogenmod on my phone.
First I have all drivers updated, I can actually use my phone as pen drive, I have the lg software working and etc,
But When I try to use SmartFlash Tool, there is no connection the "Com Port" to select. The phone isn't found.
Then I tryed "Unlock Root Tool", and it worked well.
I used "Root Checker", and it says that my phone is rooted.
But now I need to flash a new room, but I can't access the custom recovery menu.
I installed clockworkmod, and tryed to flash the recovery menu, it says downloading until 100%, then change to flashing, and stays there. won't go anywhere.
when I try to flash rom from the rom manager, it stops working.
When I try to reebot into recovery, it reboots the phone, but don't go into any menu, it does a factory reset, and I have my phone clean again.
What can I do?
Thank you.

You are far, far from the first person to ask that question so please put some effort in and search first, rather than simply expecting people to repeat the same instructions for the 100th time.

i searched every inch of this site for O4x recovery flash

error boot image signature means the bootloader is locked. so u didnt install the recovery and so thats why u cant go in recovery. u just deleted the stock recovery by mistake. now u either go ahead and try unlock , flash recovery and install new rom if u want to go away from stock rom, or use kdz to restore.
<<EDIT>> i dont understand that o4x. i just told you whats ur situation there. now use search and find the solution

Hi there,
I was recently put in the same situation, i.e. I installed ROM Manager and then ClockworkMod. When I open ROM Manager --> Recovery Setup --> Install or Update Recovery --> Click on "ClockworkMod Recovery" --> I get "Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection and that your SD card is inserted and have free space!". I have made sure that I have both, therefore I do not understand why I get this error. When I select "Reboot into recovery" in ROM Manager my phone restarts and then I get the same error as ruznik.
When I try to boot into recovery manually, i.e. switch off phone, Volume UP (or DOWN) + Power button, I get the same error as ruznik. However, my phone boots normally which is always a relief.
I uninstalled ROM Manager and tried to boot into recovery and I got the same error as ruznik. Then I installed back ROM Manager and in the Recovery set up there is already "ClockworkMod recovery", which probably means that ClockworkMod was not uninstalled when I uninstalled ROM Manager.
I have rooted my LG P880, but I believe I have not unlocked the bootloader (I suspect that CWM + bootloader not unlocked is what is causing the error with booting into recovery?). I say I believe, because I did the rooting some time ago and I do not remember if I have unlocked the bootloader as well.
I would like to uninstall CMW. However, I understand that this is not a very easy thing, therefore I would be happy to reflash my EUR-XXX Jelly Bean 4.1.2, root and then unlock the bootloader. However, although I have properly installed the drivers (as this is not the first time I will flash the EUR-XXX), my phone does not connect to my PC, although it charges from the PC. I have tried with two different cables, I have enabled debugging, I have Media Sync enabled (I tried also the option LG software as I have LG PC suite installed), I have tried to connect it to different ports, I have tried to connect it to different PCs, but still nothing. Note that this is happening only with my LG P880, because I can connect properly my Iphone 4S to all 3 PCs. Also, when I open my LG PC suite, I cannot connect the mobile phone to the LG PC suite via cable, but I can connect it via Wifi connection.
I am a bit reluctant to unlock the bootloader, e.g.
youtubedotcomslashwatch?v=sBeirPeT2rQ
youtubedotcomslashwatch?v=iqEop-ThNug
because I do not want to brick my working phone when I cannot connect it to my PC so that I can flash it (sorry for the broken links - I am not allowed to post links because I am new to XDA). Therefore, I have two questions:
1) Is there anything I can do to connect my phone to a PC? I believe that everything went wrong after I installed ROM Manager and then CWM via ROM Manager.
2) Is it safe to unlock the bootloader while the phone is in the current state? I am not sure if the phone will restart and then will not be able to turn on again because it will be bricked? And since I have not managed to connect my phone to a PC, I am not sure how I will be able to flash the software?
Apologies for long email - I tried to be as descriptive as I can. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

If you downloaded .zip you unpack it somewhere on comp.
You in your phone allow unknown sources in settings and turn on USB debugging.
After that use official cable to connect phone and comp ( I guess you have all usual drivers already installed) and then go to folder where you unzipped your files and start install.bat.
Then follow instructions as they come.
P.S. just to check you downloaded from here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery

It isn't meant to flashing but it will install Nut's Dual Recovery which is app and will "make" TWRP and CWM and nuts recovery (similar to cwm).
You can enter recovery through app and will go to choosen recovery or when phone is booting you will have a chance to enter directly into recovery by pressing vol up or down...phone will vibrate and notifications led will glow green then press vol up or down

For changing kinguser to supersu just follow this :

I'm not sure about posting 3rd party links but if this get deleted PM me and I will see how to help you.
PS in Nut's app you can also choose which recovery you want to use, although people like to use TWRP I have no predisposition toward any specific.
