I think you somehow lost your recovery..
Try flashing back recovery using nuts dual recovery installer using pc.
I had same problem with iHackers so i switched to other stock based roms and they all are awesome... :thumbup:

Not working. I tried it a few times. I don't have any LED Light when I turning my phone on and (I think) because of that I cant boot into recovery I guess.

Sorry i didn't get you..! What is the problem you are facing??
With your phone off and unplugged, setup Flashtool to flash the FTF of your choice.
When you're ready, press and hold the volume up button, and then plug in the device.
The LED will flash red and green quickly. You are in Flashmode now. Flashtool should be working away. Leave it plugged in until prompted to restart (watch the log).

Thanks for reply, but I dont have any led light, thats my problem. When I want to do something, like get into Recovery, I restart my phone and I dont have any LED light, when I plugging in the device - same.
I have the same problem buddy but if you have a computer just install a recovery by downloading the file from NUTS web page (search for dual recovery for z1) and let the PC detect your device. In command prompt it will ask you to hit option 1 or 2 and it's pretty self explanatory. Don't worry about the Led, just flash the recovery using your computer.

hi, I am having trouble booting my mothers' X8. She was using mini cm7 and it was starting to be very slow so I backed it up and flashed it again. flashing was completed successfully but when I tried to boot the phone, the Sony Ericsson text did not disappear. I left it running whole night but nothing happened. I can't even boot to xrecovery. What should I do now? Is there any way I can get the phone working again?
thanks a lot!

so I downloaded the stock kernel and flashtool, but the app won't recognize the device. it still shows that I should hold back button on my phone while plugging the cable. I was holding the button for about three minutes but nothing changed. what should I do?
edit: oh and the red LED is flashing.
edit2: nevermind, battery was drained. now I just need to find drivers for my x8

It's just soft brick so you should have flashtool and some ftf files for your device maybe stock firmware and baseband update so you can unbrick your soft bricked device for any time. Just enter the flash mode and flash it! That's it! Just some advice for you

well done dude! :good:
Okay please help. I have an unlocked bootloader (or had an unlocked bootloader) on my X8, it was rooted as well. I decided I'd like to get a custom Rom so I attempted to install GingerDX. I installed Clockwork Recover mod and tested it out to see if it was working. It was so I decided to back the phone up. The back up worked fine and I moved the backup to my computer. Then I restarted the phone to install the GingerDX rom. I cleared all the user data and I then went to install a zip file then chose the zip file. The installation completed so I pressed the back button and it said something about it being unsafe and that I will have no backup but I thought it was going to be fine as I had a backup of the kernel and the system on my computer.
I decided to ignore the warning as the installation said it was completed as well. But when I rebooted using Clockwork recovery mod the phone was stuck on the Sony Ericsson loading screen and was for around 10 minutes before I turned it off by removing the battery. I tried to enter the flash mode and reinstall the kernel on to the phone through flashtool but this failed and after that I can't seem to enter flash mode at all.
Please, is there any way for this to work? I'm guessing it's a hard brick but is there anything that I could try to fix it considering I have a system backup and the stock kernel backup as well? Anything will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
it looks like you're on stock kernel. custom kernels do not show the se logo (haven't encountered one that does and i've tried quite a lot). are you sure you unlocked your bootloader? if you did, you haven't flashed a custom kernel yet.
don't worry it's only a soft brick. try using seus, pcc, or flashtool to recover it and go back stock rom. flash the rom, not the kernel.
did you download the stock kernel version of gdx? if not, that's probably why you encountered a bootloop.
edit: you also need to wipe dalvik cache and do a full wipe before flashing a rom
Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion and I'm pretty sure I got the stock kernel version. Just in case I didn't can you send me a link if possible? Also I am on the stock kernel, I unlocked the bootloader but didn't bother flashing the kernel.
I've already tried PC Companion but I don't understand how to use it considering the phone actually cannot boot so I can't choose to connect the phone etc. Also I can't enter the clock work recovery mod anymore or the flash mode.

just download the stock rom for x8 and flash it using flashtool. you do need pcc installed for that anyway.
well, i believe you when you say you have gdx's stock kernel version. maybe it's just that you didn't wipe cache, dalvik cache, and full wipe before flashing it?
just a Q though. why not flash a custom kernel? it makes a huge difference.
btw here's the link for stock: http://goo.im/devs/TeamFun/GingerDX/GingerDX-v031b-shakira-stock.zip
edit: you need to flash the stock se rom first to get out of the bootloop. then reroot you phone, install cwm, reboot to recovery and wipe, flash the rom. :thumbup:

No charging, no led flashing, doesn't turn on, won't go in flash mode.

Is it hardbicked? Is anything that can be done?

send it to a nearby Sony service center because your manufacturing date isn't safe to perform the unlocking of the bootloader, and yes, it is indeed a hard brick

I really could use some help.
I have a unlocked bootloader and installed several roms / kernels in the past. But now I wanted to switch roms, deleted the old rom, updated a kernel (tought it was a rom) and now its loading in the rom (which I tought was deleted...), but hanging in the loading screen, it turn off and then repeats itself...
I cant seem to turn it off, or get it into a mode that I can use SUS...
Any idears?
Thnx in advance..
Edit: I was able to shut down the phone, but I can't use SuS cause I have unlocked bootloader I guess. Any other way to get any recovery working? Or to recover the phone?

Hold power and vol up for about 10 seconds. This will turn your phone off.
Then you can either flash a kernel or a ftf file via flashtool

Hi guys,
Probably game over for me but just thought I'd ask. Got C5303 with locked bootloader but had rooted, installed the recovery and flashed cm11 on. So tried to update, cleaned device from recovery but ended in a cyanogenmod bootloop. Tried again but crashed in recovery, not sure if it's possible but seems like I have deleted the recovery and there's no rom installed at the moment. Any way of getting it working again?
Can you get in fastboot modus?
If yes flash a kernel with recovery. Boot into recovery, factory reset, and flash new rom.

Finally flashed a generic 4.3 after trying for the third time after installing all the drivers. Thanks for getting me to persevere. Much smoother than I remember the branded firmware it came with at the moment, might stick with it now.
I was using CM12 for quite a long time. Then I received an OTA update to CM13. After using it for a few days the device suddenly crashed and wouldn't switch on since then. Whenever I try to switch it on, it vibrates three times. If I connect a charger, it vibrates three times. If I connect to my PC, it vibrates three times.
Sometimes suddenly it boots up and then again crashes in the middle, and vibrates three times.
Is it some kind of hardware problem? :crying:

Hey there! I think it's some infection from the CM ROM. The same happened to me.
The best you can do is submit your phone to the centre, that is if it goes into flashing.
I think it's some ram problem or CM's internal boot file corruption, after the latest OTA.
