[Q] Stuck at kernel logo. Nothing is working.

Good afternoon,
I'm sorry i'm creating a new thread about an old subject, but i just can't get my X8 to work with custom kernel+rom. I've searched the forum for the same issue but none of the solutions described worked. Until this moment i had to use PCC to flash my smartphone back to normal about 10 times and it's starting to get very annoying. I've followed the devs instructions on all procedures thoroughly, rooting, bootlader unlock, flashing kernel and installing ROM, and it always gets stuck on the kernel logo wether is it before or after flashing the rom (unless i press the back button). To this moment, i've tried nAa-14 and alfs v09 kernel, GingerDX and Zaraki roms, followed guides step by step. I'm a newbie in the smartphones area but not when it comes to computers. Throughout my 'voyage' i had a number of bumps i had to overcome, like having the installation aborted (bad) error when trying to install a rom, which i solved by downloading the zip directly to the SDcard like described here in the forums. GGdrivers are installed, and so are the SE USB drivers, phone is recognized by PCC with no problems.
I honestly have no idea what might be wrong, and as i said, i've done a search before creating a new thread but nothing helped, or maybe i'm just missing a tiny detail. I would really like the help since this is my first smartphone and i would like to play with my new toy!
Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience.
EDIT: I forgot something. In the kernel installation guide is requested that after flashing it, to check in the phone settings if everything is ok. I can't even boot the phone after flashing the kernel (gets stuck on kernel logo) which means my problem is related to something previous to it? Maybe bootlock? I'm pretty sure i'm doing what's required.

Appreciate the fast answer.
I get stuck on the logo wether is it before or after flashing the rom. The only way i don't get stuck is to press the back button to boot into cwm.
Yes i've tried to wipe after and before, and it didn't work. And these were the only roms and kernels i've tried.
There's no problem with hardbricking my device by the way, 11w03.
I'll have to get out for a while, but i will come back later to check all the answers, this is a priority for me at the moment

Don't full wipe two times,either before or after,you can see this at the rom thread.
One basic detail that many forget is that you must have baseband that lasts to 15,so it would be like this xxx015

I didnt full wipe when trying gingerdx, as you said its not requested, only wiped with zaraki. I can confirm my baseband is xxxx015.

You have to full wipe,don't full wipe two times,gingerdx needs full wipe before installing the rom....

I tried again using the correct wiping method for gingerdx and it still freezes on kernel logo. the weird thing is that it freezes the first time it boots after flashing the kernel, meaning it has nothing to do with the rom, right? and maybe even not related to the kernel itself. i'm completely clueless about this, i wish i had a friend who could do it for me, because i can't detect anything done wrong.

What version of cwm are you using?
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

i'm not quite sure what's the version of cwm since it installs itself along with nAa-14 kernel, but i think it was v5.0.2.8

I think its the cwm that comes with the kernel.
For the OP. No idea what to do. You have a weird problem

please don't destroy my hopes of having a working custom rom on my phone jokes aside, i get your point, but doesn't it seem not logical that i'm the only one who can't get it to work? it's weird enough i can't boot my phone after flashing the kernel....

i could post a video, sure, but it's pretty straightforward. after i flash the kernel, unplug the phone from PC and boot it up, IF i don't boot into cwm, it will freeze on the kernel logo, making it impossible to even check the phone settings as requested in gingerdx thread. AFTER i install the rom and reboot the phone, it will still show the kernel logo and freeze again (if i understand correctly this is not supposed to happen, what's supposed to show on the screen after the rom is installed are the normal SE logos.)
So, summing up. Flash kernel, turn phone on, freezes on kernel logo if i don't use back button to go into cwm. If i enter cwm, install rom from sdcard, reboot, it shows the kernel logo and freezes if i don't use back button again.
Don't know if it helps but the only way to turn the phone off when it freezes is removing the battery. Sometimes after placing the battery again it will automatically turn on.

Dunno what's wrong,why don't you try with stock kernel and gdx,or why don't you try different rom(yea neither gdx nor gzr)
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

you mean formatting partitions after flashing the kernel or before? i assume there's an option for it under cwm?

sure i can try other roms, but the fact that it freezes before installing the rom seems to point towards another problem?
the phone was bought in 2nd hand by the way, maybe there's something that could have happen before it got to me?

You have to format the partitions after flashing the kernel. In CWM recovery, go to 'mounts and storage' and format all the partitions except /sdcard.

Try to format all of the partitions (yes, ALL of them), then install ROM again.
After installation turn off the phone, take out the card, then turn phone on.
I hope it will work.

Just did it and the same thing happened. Flashed nAa-14, booted into cwm, full wipe, full cache wipe, wiped all the partitions but sdcard, installed rom, rebooted and it froze on the logo. Tried again with removing the sdcard and turning the phone on, froze on logo. Flashing it back to stock using PCC atm
By the way, it didn't let me format sd/ext.

Have you tryed with older version of naa? Naa 14 is buggy, naa 11 is the best

Try some other roms like minicm7. Do it in this order
Flash the kernel
Boot to cwm
Format system,data,cache
Fullwipe/Factory reset
Install Rom
Reboot
....wait .....
I do this every time i install a new rom..
Make sure The rom you have downloaded belongs to x8..

I will do that right away. I will also download a few others roms (and respective kernels) and try them all out. Only one thing, I was going to download MiniCM10 and i saw this in its post: "MiniCM10 is an unofficial port of CyanogenMod 10 for the SEMC msm7x27 devices." What does it mean 'for the SEMC msm7x27 devices'? Is it related to bootload unlock? Because i get Setool2 Certificate instead of SEMC. Does this make my problem a little easier?
EDIT: Ok, i've just tried ICZaraki+nAa-04-ics, minicm10+nAa-jb, gingerdx/gingerzaraki+nAa 11, and guess what, none worked.... We have to start thinking this is not related with the kernel or rom maybe? Any suggestions? When i tried the nAa-11 kernel, when i booted up the phone a white led popped up instead of a green one. I'm not worried if this takes a whole month to fix, i'm up for any suggestions and ideas of any kind, just throw them at me.

Yep, happens with all the kernels i've used, nAa-11/14, nAa JB, ICS, etc....
Googled logcat, i understand its use, but how do you want me to use it?
Yes, bootload is unlocked, i have the "r". Or is there any chance that even with the "r" it's still locked? Anyway, i followed the guides with no problem.

So we need a bunch of informations from you.
Which Bootloader are you on
Which sd Format is it (GB or ICS)
Have you Root
Is Your Bootloader unlocked.

it is ICS i think. i have came from ICS 4.0.4 to MIUI's rom.
Yes its rooted.
Don't know whether my bootloader is unlocked or not.
When i install a new rom after performing necessary wipes and reboot, it comes back to Xiaomi logo and MIUI's rom start but its apps and processes stop every second.
The installation of new roms that i flash says success but on rebooting MIUI comes even after installing roms.
i use CWM 6.0.2.5.
Tell me what other information you want.

You must unbrick the phone, if you came form ICS you have new boot and that MIUI with new bootload and cm7 works with oldboot.

Well no... but you if you are on ICS Bootloader you cant install an rom based on GB Bootloader and vice versa.
ALWAYS Check in the rom description which Bootloader is it for. Some rom´s even need to flash an own CWM Recovery File to get it work Propperly.

If you want to put cm7, you must to change bootload, and for that you must unbrick.

for unbrick followe this great senior .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715272
that will unbrick your phone, .. after you can install a stock GB via smartflash or the ics.. you choose!
good luck

Uh, unbrick? Why is all this unbrick talk going on here, he says that his phone isn't bricked, so there's no need for that.
Are you able to boot into cwm by pressing vol down while powering on the phone? If yes, just flash the desired rom if you know which bootloader you are on.
Else, if you are not sure of bootloader, use aio toolkit. Download toolkit, install nvflash drivers in that, then select option 4, and follow the process. Select old/gingerbread bootloader when asked, and cwm version of your choice. Then put a Rom in sd card and flash in recovery.

Hey Rugglez.
But the process is the same for what muditj14 wants to do, am I wrong?. I never said it was brick. What I meant was that in order to change the boot, he must pass for process of "unbrick".
Perhaps the definition of exchange boot is not being the right one by me and I apologize if that induce someone into error.

Hey mate, what you said isnt a wrong method, but I just suggested AIO toolkit method because its so much simpler and less time consuming. Ultimately, the end result may be the same, but spyrosk has made the toolkit so user friendly that even someone without knowing anything about NVFlash can easily use it. It installs the required drivers by itself with the click of a button, and shows step by step selection of which bootloader, partition size, recovery etc. to flash, and is very safe to use

[Q] [HELP] Problem Xperia X8 (ROMs, Xrecovery)

Greetings from Colombia. The post I translated with Google translator because not speak English. Hope is not a big problem and I hope I helped. Thanks again.​
My problem is this. I have an Xperia X8 (E15i - 11w13) and a few days ago I returned my Xperia X8 to PC COMPANION Stock (Stock Firmware and Kernel) Then using the ROM: rDroid (The best ROM for me)
With my phone in stock. Decides to Flashing ...
+ Then I ROOT my phone with flashtool. All good up there.
+ I decided to install the xRecovery as always and installed (Copying 3 files to System / Bin with RootExplorer)
Restart .. And no, it did not work.
- Investigate and maybe he problem was the permissions. I repeated the process, modify permissions ... And no, it did not work
- Maybe it was the Busybox?. I repeated the process after installing Busybox from the Android Market ... And nothing
- So I thought ... and it decided to install the xRecovery Flashtool, I did and .. It worked!
Already with the xRecovery working and the new ROM on SD Card, decided Flashing.
+ Realize what Wipes and install the ROM ... There all good
+But when the cell lit New ROM test, shoot me Restarts every 10min, with a message in the notification bar that says: "It is safe to remove the SD"
+Or failed the internet or in the Market / Play Store (would not let me download any APP)
+Or And there did not return to take the ROM .. It was stuck on the logo of SONY
+Or And Not even let me enter the xRecovery
Then I play do ... TOTAL STOCK Back to PC Companion.
I returned to Perform ROOT process, Xrecovery (with Flashtool) ... All to Flash the ROM withthe rDroid Cel (The one I was using before the problem and it works excellent)
But what ... Again the same problem. The constant pulling reboot message "Safe to remove the SD"
So when I went back to try to get the xRecovery .. He returned and stayed stuck in the Logo of SE.
And I got to re-do?... Make PC STOCK TOTAL COMPANION :crying:
¡HELP ME!​

hi. i understand that you don't speak english, and thanks for the effort in using translate, but i'm afraid i'm not sure i understand. are you experiencing a soft brick now? or is the sdcard error the issue?
if you have a soft brick (stuck in sony logo), try using seus instead of pcc if pcc doesn't work.
if you're experiencing the sdcard issue, backup your sdcard and reformat it. also, install cwm instead of xrecovery as some roms apparently do not support xrecov (i have not experienced it though).
also, are you on stock kernel? i'm not familiar with the rom you're using. or is your bootloader unlocked and you have a custom kernel? and what is the new rom you're trying to use?
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

Just helping
if u want to fix the booloop (stuck at sony logo)
just flash the original firmware by flash tool
download here
and if u want to install custom rom
- Flash the kernel
- Full Wipe (dalvik cache and batery stats)
- Factory Reset
- Install ROM

Hello. Thanks for answering Cascabel.
But I had no brick problem, or soft or hard.
The phone works normally with the Stock ROM, but with a Custom ROM works but has problems (the same problem throughout the ROM I try)
Buy a New SD card (8GB Kingston) to see if the problem was on the sd card. And it still has the same problem with the new card

You don't test or mess xrecovery if you are in custom rom. You'll soft brick even you can boot up to xrecovery and xrec uses amend scripting so CWM in custom rom is the best. Xrec uses busybox and all custom rom can't update busybox.

[Q] Xperia T not installing Custom Rom?

Hi,
So I have a Xperia T lt30p and I am trying to get a Custom Rom installed onto it. The current version is Jelly Bean 4.1.2. The roms I have tried are Hybrid, Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 4.2.2 and the new Omni 4.2.2 kitkat rom. I go into recovery (clockworksmods) and wipe data/factory, cache, and dalvik cache and then I go into install zip from sd card. I first click on the rom which says "Completed Successfully" and then I install the Google Apps which also say "Completed successfully". However when I click "Reboot system now" all I get is a black screen!? I waited 5 minutes and then realised nothing was going to happen so I pressed the power button and the phone VIBRATES but still nothing on the screen, then try again and it just vibrates again? Why is it doing this? I know how to get it back up and running again which I used pc companion for but I do not understand why the roms are not installing!? Can someone tell me how to fix this and provide me with a custom rom they have used which works for the Xperia T. I am really bored with the JB 4.1.2 and would like to move a step ahead!
Thank You
Please reply ASAP!!!! :'(

When I was trying to install a Custom Rom, I was following a video and a step by step guide and it did not mention to wipe the system so I didn't do it but I guess you could go ahead with it? Shouldn't harm the phone.

what nightlies did you use to flash your phone? as there have been some problem for xperia t, v to boot correctly for cyanogenmod rom prior to 20131105 if i remember correctly. also, no matter what rom you flash if it is related to cyanogen then it will carry the same problem, as they use the same source to build the rom.

[Q] Trouble Installing ICS on X8.[SOLVED]

Hey guys, I've been browsing xda for a couple months and now I decided to create an account since I've met a problem I can't overcome and I think I could use some help of the members in here.
So what I am trying to do is install the ICS kernel to my X8 and then install the CMD Rom, but everytime I stuck in bootloop after I install the nAa kernel.
The steps I followed are
Root The Phone
Install x8 Drivers
Unlock the bootloader
Flash nAa Kernel
But after flashing the nAa kernel it just stucks in the Sony Ericsson logo and I have to remove the battery to reboot the phone, I managed to recover it by flashing a stock rom and I tried again installing a different nAa version but still no luck. I also tried wiping data & cache & delvik cache as I read in some threads that may helped but still nothing.
I am kinda new to flashing new roms on devices so I don't know I followed the steps correctly. I also used the search function and found some threads that helped me unbrick the phone back to stock rom, but I can't install the nAa kernel.
Any help would be really appreciated since the x8 device is a friend of mine and I would like to return fully fuctionable.
Thanks for taking your time to read the post and help me out with my problem!.

Looks like your bl is still locked. Can you tell us what it says when you try flashing the kernel? What does s1tool say? 015 baseband?
Read the first post carefully before trying to unlock bl: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17378137 (that's one of your links, i think)
Also make sure the manufacturing date it below 11w29. You should not see the se logo once you've successfully unlocked your bootloader.

Hey guys, I've been browsing xda for a couple months and now I decided to create an account since I've met a problem I can't overcome and I think I could use some help of the members in here.
So what I am trying to do is install the ICS kernel to my X8 and then install the CMD Rom, but everytime I stuck in bootloop after I install the nAa kernel.
The steps I followed are
Root The Phone
Install x8 Drivers
Unlock the bootloader
Flash nAa Kernel
But after flashing the nAa kernel it just stucks in the Sony Ericsson logo and I have to remove the battery to reboot the phone, I managed to recover it by flashing a stock rom and I tried again installing a different nAa version but still no luck. I also tried wiping data & cache & delvik cache as I read in some threads that may helped but still nothing.

Sony Ericsson logo should not appear after flashing naa kernel , this means you could not flash the kernel correctly .
try to flash kernel for two or three times , sometimes it doesnt work and you should try again.
notes: if you see naa logo then sony logo this means youve successfully installed kernel and all you have to do is to flash a rom from recovery menu.(when you turn x8 on and naa logo appears,you should start pressing back button to enter revovery)
- use compatible rom and kernels

That's the guide I used to unlock my BL.
Manufacturing date is 11w12 so I guess that's fine. Also I am sure the bootloader is unlocked because I am getting a small "r" when I am using the s1tool. Maybe I should flash stock rom wipe cache & data and try flashing the nAa kernel?

Problem solved. What I was doing wrong was trying to flash the rom over the nAa kernel I read the FAQ thread from the nAa kernel thread and found the solution.
