First of all i want to say I have tried pretty much every thing and not able to bring my X8 back..
I dont know why i am finding the stuff related to X8 pretty confusing. I also own a nexus 4, on which rooting , bootlocker unlock, flashing ROM , kernel almost everything is pretty easy.
Please guys help me. Thanks in advance.
Below mentioned in points is how I got into the mess.
1) I was running "GingerDX-v031b-shakira-stock" ROM with Clockwork MOD Recovery for a pretty long time. But recently i saw a jelly bean based ROM MiniCM10-4.1.0-shakira So i decided to flash it.
2) I downloaded the files MiniCM10-4.1.0-shakira.zip ROM and E15_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf kernel as I found somewhere that this ROM works with this particular kernel only. I also downloaded all the drivers related to X8 and installed them on my PC.
3) Then as i do on my nexus 4 I went into the CWM recovery and format the /system , /dalvik , /cache partitions ( i forgot to take backup of the /system partition: my bad).
4) I restarted the phone but it was stuck at Sony Ericsson logo, and i was not able to boot onto recovery again. i dont know how the /recovery partition got deleted or not. Since then it gets stuck at SE logo everytime I start my phone.
5) I have downloaded all the tools i found on XDA.
a) Flash Tool
b) X8 toolbox which has a Command prompt application but I am not able to use any Option as It requires ADB connect with USB Debugging ON.
b)S1 tools. I have 2 versions of S1 tools. ( One came with X8 Toolbox - It dosent have flash Option. It only has IDENTIFY , RESTORE , QUIT OPTION. ) . ( Othere version came with UNLOCK BOOTLOADER ZIP - IT has FLASH, IDENTIFY , RESTORE , QUIT Options ).
c) Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.1 ( I tried "Support Zone New" Option on this but It is stuck on downloading file which is approx 2MB )
6) I am also not sure if my bootloader is locked or unlocked.Please tell How to check this ?
7) I am able to enter flash mode on my device and both S1 tools versions and Flash Tool identify this. But I am not able to flash anything. ( Flash tool gives error "Processing of loader.bin finished with errors, S1 tools cant flash anything as it shows "PRESS CTRL KEY TO SELECT FILE" , I have tried pressing Ctrl but nothing happens.)
Files i have downloaded or I have :
1) GingerDX-v031b-shakira-stock
2) MiniCM10-4.1.0-shakira.zip , E15_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf
3) Xperia X10_2.3.3_Generic_2.rar ( This one i had a hard time finding as no links are working )
Please HELP Guys...
This is what i am getting when i try to flash "Xperia X10_2.3.3_Generic_2.zip" via FLASH TOOL...
I entered the flash mode by pressing the back button ....

Why are you trying to flash a Xperia X10 firmware on a Xperia X8? Just find the right Firmware for the Xperia X8 and Flash it with FlashTool.

Yes it should work fine on your phone (The E15a and the E15i are basically the same thing).
Here is how to unlock your Bootloader:

I have successfully recovered my phone and restored the backup of GingerDX ROM....
Now I am trying to flash MiniCM10-4.1.0-shakira.zip through CWM Recovery but i am getting Status 7 error...
I thought this is because i have not flashed the kernel required for this E15_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.ftf..
So when i try to install this kernel using Flashtools it again gives me error...

I also tried flashing the E15_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.zip kernel using my CWM recovery it also shows me installation aborted.
I am not sure if my bootloader is locked or unlocked as I have successfully unlocked it twice using flash tools and the X8 toolbox but still it shows "R" in RUNNING S1_EROM VER "x8A029" instead of "r" using S1tool.
Thanks in advance...

Your Bootloader is still locked(the "r" has to be lower case in order to be successfully unlocked), that's why you are not able to flash the kernel in FlashTool. Here is the guide to unlock your Bootloader:
[Guide] Bootloader and kernel guide | X8 | W8 | X10 mini | X10 mini pro |
YOU NEED TO READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS and not just on unlocking your Bootloader but in EVERYTHING like this. In the MiniCM10 Thread it clearly stated that you needed the Kernel to be able to flash the ROM, so IDK why you tried to install it with out having the right Kernel. READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Bootloader unlocked but stuck on installation aborted...

Hi,
The problem i was facing was , I was trying to unlock bootloader with GINGERDX ROM...I flashed stock ROM and tried.
Worked like a charm...!!!
Now I am seeing the "r" instead of "R" in S1 tools...
After that i rebooted into CWM recovery and did the following:
1) format /cache, /data, /system.
2) flashed E15_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.zip kernel from sdcard... ( without any problem )
3) tried to flash "MiniCM10-4.1.0-shakira.zip" ( \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with kernel 2.6.32.61 instead of 2.6.32.60 ) but still got status 7 error.
4) Now i flashed back stock Rom as when i restarted recovery was not available. ( kernel was showing [email protected] )
5) i searched on xda someone mentioned to remove the first line in updater-script ( asserts line till first semicolon ; ) so i edited the file replaced the ROM on the sdcard.
Now when i try i am not able to flash the E15_2.6.32.61-nAa-06.zip kernel again. Its saying installation aborted.
I tried through flash tools and CWM recovery both. Same response...
I checked again if my bootloader somehow got relocked but no its still showing "r" instead of "R"...
Please help !!!

You need to first flash the kernel with flashtool and then flash the rom from the recovery(with full wipe). You can't flash kernels to x8 with cwm.

but in comand shell,"sending 'boot' (11486 KB)..." is written till more than 10 minutes and nothing happend...
after that i tried via flashtool (with fastboot mod) also... it didn't work also..I can't get what is the problem!!!!
What to do know?:crying:
If you have access to a pc with flashtool try the LB recoveries. Not ideal but might work.
Other than that no idea as im on LBL.

What does this mean? What would you guys suggest I do, ive never restored a TA before. Its just doing a loop of connecting in flashmode and then rebooting and then reconnecting in flashmode.
Edit: The phone does not reboot, it only flashes green on and off when connected to a charger, it doesnt connect in flash mode, and when i press the on button, nothing happens, if i hold it, it takes 5 seconds then it just vibrates, no life otherwise.
So its all okay again, I hadnt installed flashmode drivers. Im fully back to stock with restored TA and relocked bootloader.

Probably phone was disconnected before when flashtool was coping data OR kernel file is corrupted(hard to tell)
If you have locked BootLoader try using PC companion(support zone->Phone/Tablet software update->pop up show op about no connected device->select repair my phone/tablet)
But before that find kernel only FTF and flash it. not full FTF, but kernel only(try this one that I attach, just unzip it), and then unplug your phone(dont turn it on!) and then flash full ftf(download 5.0.2 using xperifirm)
The phone is brand new! not with him never done.
- I tried to fix through PC Companion, but the error (error 100).
- I tried many .ftf
- I tried downloading and creation .ftf (xpeifirm)
always the same error ...
many ftf files, but try flashing only kernel.
ALSO, remove ALL drivers and use different USB port on your PC.
Im saying to flash different kernel, because looking at error, I found out that most of people had similar problem when they had corrupted kernel file or when they flashed it, USB cable was moved and disconnected, and flashing only kernel for most of time work.
There are few topic with the same problem on XDA with the same errors, I searched it and this is solution that for most of time worked. So remove,drivers, install them again, use different port and flash kernel only. Maybe it would help
I tried everything what you wrote. I'm flashing the kernel from you and others, but the error persists
I think the mistake is that the phone I have a different version of the S1 boot Lagan than in the "boot delivery.xml" in .FTF
In FTF file "boot delivery.xml" S1 Boot Lagan version: S1_Boot_Lagan_1.1.1_1
The phone is S1 Boot Lagan version: S1_Boot_Lagan_1.0_2
