[H] Unlocked bootlaoder

Hi i am using x8 and i unlocked the bootlaoder put thealfs kernel butafter that stock rom cant load and icant upload my gingerdx rom any ideas how to fix ?
One more thing after i unlocked the Bl before i put alfs kernel i had no signal

Relock your bootloader and try unlocking again with Setool2. That should give you signal back but not sure as I can't really remember .
You should have flashed a custom before flashing a kernel. Go into recovery by pressing back button on logo, go down to mounts and storage then mount USB. Then copy the rom over.

I have no intentions to pay for this tool setool2 moreover i uplaoded the kernel and the rom successfully but the problem is no taht i am stuck at infinity loop on GingerDX logo... :X
I will be really glad if someone can help i managed to put new kernel , rom and now i am stuck with infinity boot loop :X:X:X:

Try install back the stock 2.1 eclair with stock kernel and do everything again, use SEUS.

new problem now i restored the bootloader relocked it now ito nly vibrates and nothing happens it tursn off and i can enter in flash mode only. But i cant restore stock kernel icant do anything after i relocked the bootloader
EDIT:
I restored flash kernel but i want new kernel adn when i unlock bootloader there is nos ignal :X:X:

That's not a surprise. Since Alfs has a built-in recovery You should enter to it, then do wipe data / factory reset and then flash ROM using install zip from sd card. Because You had installed ROM before and didn't wipe data - that's why it stuck and it's bootlooping.

New problem mate when i unlock the bootloader i have no signal i put alfs kernel gingerdx runs normally but no signal . I relock the bootloader and than the phone cant boot and i must restore the old kernel:X

Did You check what type of Simlock Certificate is in Your x8 using s1tool? Cause there shouldn't be any problem with signal when it's SEMC... I suppose it's "not recognized simlock certificate" in Your case.

did you try unlock with flashtools? i read somewhere that some people with your same problem works fine with flashtools

[Q] Installed a Custom Rom and phone bricked, what was the problem?

Hello everyone, i have Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 11w43, android version 2.1, rooted.
Today i installed the rom GingerDX, i think everything was correct, i had
- Busybox installed
- Rooted
- Xrecovery installed
...
when i selected the file update.zip it told me that The rom was installed and i rebooted(i thinked that i must factory reset after rebooting from the options menu) and my phone bricked(stops on SE logo when starting)
I used SEUS and fixed the problem, but i don't know what was the problem
must i do something other to work, or its because i have 11w43?
If i do it again and do fullwipe directly after installing the rom will it be now working or not?
i need help

- flash with flashtool
- root again (video for root)
- install CWM (optional - watch this video)
- flash alfs kernel
- wipe dalvik cache and batery stats from CWM
- factory reset
- install ROM
Done

do not fullwipe after installing the rom

are you on stock kernel?
1. do not update busybox if you are.
2. use cwm, not xrecov. if using xrecov use v13 and below.

your phone's bootloader is locked..
so for a locked bootloader you have to install a Stock Rom..
if you install a custom rom on your stock kernel..i.e locked bootloader your phone will get soft bricked..
go on the GDX page again. and look for the stock rom.. ! your problem should be solved.. :good::good::good::good::good::good:
Source: Did the same mistake
then realised the difference between stock and custom roms!

[Q] Go back to stock ROM from Cyanogenmod/CWM

Hi all
I have CM 10.2 and CWM recovery installed on my Z. Now I'm going to sell it and would like to "revert" to the stock ROM.
I realized that the Flash Tool by Bin4ry and Androxyde only works with stock, locked bootloaders so I cannot install original ROMs the "normal" way.
I assume I need to find a stock ROM image zipped in a format that is compatible with CWM recovery, and flash from there?
Thanks for all help

nope it should work with any Rom just download the ftf you want and flash it it would work with any Sony Device either Locked or Unlocked

[Q] Xperia SP C5302 Stuck in boot logo! PLEASE HELP!

I was curious about installing custom roms so i decided to try. I successfully had rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader and i just needed CWM recovery so that I could install CM11 custom rom. I didn't put the custom rom on my phone because I'd figure I would do it after installing CWM but after flashing CWM, I couldn't even go into my stock rom! I tried everything from formatting the cache to the data, I even have TWRP flashed as well but no luck there. I don't want to mess with my phone anymore because I am quite frankly, scared. So all I want to do is remove CWM and TWRP recovery, and flash my stock rom. Oh, and I tried to flash the stock rom with flashtool, that didn't work either
Thanks for the help!
UPDATE: I DOWNLOAD ALL THE DRIVERS FOR FLASHTOOL AND TRIED INSTALLING MY STOCK ROM THROUGH FLASH BOOT AND IT WORKED! SO FAR SO GOOD.
UPDATE 2: ITS WORKING. ALL I DID WAS LOCK MY BOOTLOADER WITH FLASHTOOL AND FLASHED THE STOCK ROM!

I think you could mount the usb storage from CWM, so you could copy the rom you wanted and install it? You could have saved a lot of hassle loool

Problem Flashing Offcial Firmware

Hi, Dear xda members
Last week i soft bricked my Sony Xperia Z c6603
After flashing modified kernel, i lost everything
I couldn't reach recovery even couldn't flash one with fastboot(as my device was not recognized)
I tried flashing offcial firmware through flashtool. It succeeded flashing
But After reboot i had bootloob and the ROM didn't boot
Finally I had a solution to get my phone fixed. Here's what i did:
*Reboot to FlashMode
*In flashtool I flashed TWRP Recovery in FlashMode
Now all custom ROMs are working but when I flash an official and other ROM's based on official, I'm having bootloops
Tried to wait. NO result
Could you help me with it?
P.S the modified kernel was made by this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ot-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605/
When i softbricked my phone I tried to fix it according to this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...rick-sony-xperia-z-c6602-c6603-c6606-t3215134

I have several problems too including not being able to run stock anymore. (endless black screen after experia logo). I tried flashtool (latest stock via xperifirm), Sony's flashtool. Companion didn't even want to flash (UEGetPhoneInfoMissingInfo), and left me wondering wether something is corrupt.
I've been running CM's for a while now and was wondering why NFC was not working. Not sure if it needs an updated firmware or what.
Other problem I've seen is that "fastboot flash recovery" always gives an error. "fastboot flash boot" works (this is how I install TWRP).
Can I try zeroing mmcblk0 or would that brick it? (does it really need to have a TA partition to accept boot connection? How does Sony init it anyways?)
I think I have a mmcblk0 backup from after unlocking (DRM lost though) but perhaps that will give me a somewhat clean situation again. Or perhaps I can compare it.
Edit: dd-ed my old mmc backup and now Xperia Companion didn't give an error anymore, did a factory reset, and after a long wait of the blue waving animation, I got it to work.
Even NFC firmware update started after rooting and deleting /data/ucf folder.
Now I want to go back to Nougat xD
