Help me (and my son and his X8) please!
My son rooted his X8, and at last it just shows the "Sony Ericsson" text.
He did the following (wrote to me ):
- root it with SuperOneClick
- reboot
- intsall RootExplore.apk
- reboot
- root.jag confused
- reboot
- install Xrecovery
- reboot
- update it to CMWrecovery
- made a backup to Sd card
- factory reset (accidentally)
- recover
- reboot
... and it doesn't work (bootloop? I just read it in this therads.)
What could he do?
Did he upgraded the baseband? to xx15?
Oh and if the device is not working, i mean, it cant turn on (just se logo and reboot) . He should repair his X8 with Sony Ericsson PC companion.
Cheers.
did you have baseband 015.if it is bricked you can use pc companion or seus (sony ericsson update service) it will probaly break the root because it is a manual update with sony ericsson but it should help
Thank you, we will give it a try.

Thanks. My son rebuild it with PCC to 2.1. It worked well.
And then he tried to upgrade it to 2.3, so it has gone to "can't turn on, because it turning off everytime", some panic, and he rebuilded it's with SEUS to 2.1.
I sad "now just relax don't try another root please",,,
So that's all.
Thanks a lot.

Oh thanks.it means that can be fixed.
I already **** my pants because of that
Hi all,
I'm new to the forums, but have been browsing anonymously for about 1 1/2 weeks, before my xperia x8 arrived, hehe. Yes Im a total noob, am not affraid to learn though.
Unfortunately, when the phone arrived, it came with a Nokia CA-101 data cable and a no-name headset(have to press/hold the button on the wire to hear music loud and clear)
I can browse the memory stick and PC Companion 2.0 works with the nokia cable.
My question and concern is: can I root my phone and start unlocking it WITH THAT NOKIA CA-101 CABLE - to update android to 2.3.x(example GingerDX) ?
So far havent done anything to it, except playing arround in service menu and transfering media files into the 16gb sd card.
Phone details:
Sony Ericsson E15i
IC: 4170B-A3880091 BX9 11W20
OS: Android 2.1-update1
If need more details or pictures, just ask, I will provide.
Thank you in advance
EDIT: its not simlocked, but after official logo, it displays UK Provider Three logo(black tribaal '3' on white background)
¹st welcome to the club dude
²nd It's ok to use the cable, its the same
And to unlock the boot loader please follow the instruction below and u won't brick ur phone it may help if it is your first time :

Press thanks if I helped
thanks for the welcome mate, after playing with it for about 2-3 days, its already boring, because I dont have wlan here yet, im gonna buy one AP hopefully today. I havent found any other way to connect it to internet.
I've tried to identify is via S1 Tool(on USB#1), powered-off and back button pressed, but it keeps searching, doesnt find it. any thoughts? I thought it was because of data cable.
edit: no drivers for SEMC USB Flash, windows 7 x86, cant post link to driver yet
edit2:
hmm,
SETOOL2 SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
Elapsed:14 secs.
it seems its already UNLOCKED
EDIT3: GingerDX v022 Installed
Wow <-- !!!
kudos to doixanh
x8 update
I see no point (yet) in creating a new post, so I will continue in here.
I'll post my progress, maybe it will help someone else also
here's what I've done:
played arround with it for a couple days, got BORED!!! with android 2.1 and no root, no wlan.
phone details: Sony Ericsson E15i black ... 11W20, OS: 2.1-update1, version 2.1.1.A.0.6, baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
- installed Gordon's Gate(needed drivers for X8)
- launched S1 Tool-> found out it was already unlocked with SETOOL2
- rooted with SuperOneClick
- x8toolbox-beta.4 - root 2.1(for rootexplorer.apk), clockworkmod & xrecovery, dual mode recovery - followed this youtube tutorial "UPDATE sonyericson w8 2.1 to 2.3.7 . v21,v22,v23 (GU V1)"
- downloaded "GingerDX-v022-update.zip" and copied to sd card root folder
- switched phone OFF, waited 1 minute(tip: take the sd card off), switched phone ON with back button pressed untill recovery menu loaded, did Factory Reset then selected Install Custom Zip from sd card and watched install progress, rebooted in GingerDX v022
- card was 'corrupted' so I formated it(I didnt care about the contents, new phone)
So far its running great, Im more than happy with it, but, as I kept reading the forums, I noticed some bugs:
1. when I rotate phone showing all apps icons, icons pile up on top of each other in top left corner
2. when I plug the data cable, and 'Turn On USB Storage', the sd card is unusable by phone 'Sorry, your SD card is busy'. Is this normal ?
3. before the update to GingerDX, I had installed dual touch from x8toolbox-beta.4 in Eclair, can I safely install it in GingerDX ?
4. battery drains a bit too fast, any help on how to improve/minimize battery waste ? I've deactivated the light sensor(was annoying) in menu and set display brightness to minimum(and still looks amazing)
Also, if you have any tips, please tell me - Im a NOOB eager to learn and want to use the full potential on my new toy, I mean phone.
Thanks for reading

Welcome!
I have a big, big hardbricked problem, i think..
Some weeks ago, my friend bought a Sony Ericsson X8 phone... then next day he come to me, his camera on the phone not work, just black screen..
I think that would be the solution, if i reflash it, it successfuly, but the camera still not worked... so i think i should change the kernel.. then i watched the build number.. it was 11w03 so i decided to unlock bootloader to be able to install kernel.. started unlock application but we waited to many minute for it.. so i unplugged phone, which is rebooted.. after it won't turn on..
I tried to flash with flashtool too, and seus.. but nothing change...
otherwise we send it to local service( not sony ericsson service), where they said they can't repair it..
please help.. any idea how to fix it?
i already unlocked some phone's bootloader successfully.. so i am not noob at modding.. just now something went wrong..
is your flashtool updated? or rather, did you wait until the flashtool even recognized your device, or did you even turned on the usb debugging before unlocking?
have you checked the device via s1tool?
Something went wrong at unlocking, probably you unpluged phone to fast. So it is hardbricked and there is no way to fix it at home.

flash the stock firmware again

It wont recognize... i already sent to service but its small
First of all, I don't have any knowledge on Xperia phones(Nexus 4 user)(had unlocked a se xperia neo v once but it pwned my brain)
Secondly, this idiotic 15 year old installed Mcafee and doesn't remember the password. I tried rebooting into recovery and doing a factory reset but it turns out Xperia phones don't have a recovery(??) (lame)
Thirdly, I clicked on 'forgot pin' on mcafee app when xperia boots, but it says I don't have an internet connection. THEN HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RESET THE DAMN PASSWORD?? (The sim has 600+ mb data)
Fourthly, oh my god who the hell uses such crap apps if they cannot even remember a password?
I think I got it. Managed to reset mcafee security but it won't get past lockscreen. And the kid can't explain through the phone(it's the son of my friend's friend) Thing is I will get paid for fixing it and installing CyanogenMod. So, it's urgent for me.
Maybe I could try using Google's own service for remotely wiping data? I will tell m friend to ask for his gmail, but the faster the better. I can't stand unresolved things.
I will try Sony Update Service with the LT30_9.2.A.1.205_CH.rar thing
Wow you guys are fast, thanks for helping! /s

No root and I don't believe the kid has enabled usb debugging. Plus, I cannot get past the screen pattern as he cannot explain it (he's Ukrainian and I'm Greek, so I need my friend to translate) I have downloaded the Sony Update Service but it doesn't list Xperia T under the devices. I also got an .ftf file which I don't know what to do with it.

By sony update service do you mean Sony Pc Companion? when i broke my T(rooted) without access to recovery and, before i learned about flashtool i used Sony PC Companion's support zone to repair phone and install stock ROM and so i had to root my phone again. If this DOES work for you here's the link to Flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 or you can download DooMLoRD's easy rooting toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2333577 . for rooting purposes. Hope this helps :good: Oh and keep the .ftf file, it''l be required if you choose to use flashtool after rooting
Ps. to enter Flashmode you have to keep holding down the volumeDOWN button while you plug in the phone.(Not sure, But the GREEN LED light will lightup. for fastboot it's the opposite, VolumeUP button.(BLUE LED) might have mixed up the buttons )
PC companion couldn't work because I couldn't get pass through the lockscreen pattern. The tried explaining it when my friend first contacted him but he didnt make any sense, he said. xD
I tried flashtool and downloaded latest firmware, everything worked awesome! I have disabled some apps as well as mcafee so he won't do the same mistake again. Thanks guys!
Back to my Nexus 4 goodness, oh my god that was a nightmare compared to samsung and nexus. xD
heheh, Glad i could help Bro
