Hy all, my X8 was frozen while installing CM 7.1 Stable, then it turned off. When I tried to turn it on it stuck at the SE logo, then freezed. I tried to get into my recovery and recover my phone, but I couldn't. Then i tried to repair it via PC Companion, but it said: ,,Your ip address is not allowed to update or repair brown phone. Please conect to the SEMC network." . Then I tried to flash 2.1 via Flashtool but it said install or reinstall my drivers. I did it, but the error came up again. Now I don't know what should I do to repair my X8. People said I should use SEUS but I couldn't find a working one for X8. If you can help me, please do!
Thanks for reading this thread, ChongWiz.
Sorry for bad english, I'm hungarian.
Install Gordon's Gate drivers inside flashtool's directory. Then try to flash newest original update by pressing back button through flashing. Flashtool should find your device and install smoothly. If you still have problems with drivers install newest PC Companion.

This may sound funny but it is real. Try the same process what you have done in another computer. I had the problem as you in my laptop. When I tried the process on my desktop computer it was like butter and I restored my phone software in just 15 mins.
I cant say the reason or logic behind but it worked.
Just have a try, you may succeed as me.
U can simply go to cybercafe or just work with another computer that all..
cheers
problem:
My friend had accidently deleted his \system folder and due to that,the phone on rebooting was stuck at the sony ericsson logo and would not go any further
solution:
1) charge the phone
2)download SEUS
3)connect usb port to pc.
4)Launch SEUS
5)When asked to plug the phone,plug the USB into the turned off phone(by removing and reinserting battery) and press the <-- and power button together and keep pressed until led turns green
6)the phone will be updated via SEUS

HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED
HI Everyone.
My Xperia X8 is bricked as i have tried to install custom roms in my phone. Now it is stucked at the Sony Ericsson Logo screen and is not going any further.
I have tried to flash the phone using Flash Tool but it failed. After connecting it in flash mode, Flash Tool says to check the USB Debugging mode from within phone which is not possible as it is not working.
I have also tried Sony PC Companion to repair my phone but at the time of update it says that no new update is available for my phone.
I have also tried using Sony Update Service but it also failed.
What should i do now?
Since retyping is troublesome ...
Have a look at this post I wrote up in this thread
Edit: Follow the instructions carefully. As you can read in the thread the restore worked (and I resurrected mine from the same point where yours is stuck).
The "Flash Tool says to check the USB Debugging mode from within phone" can't come up if the phone is connected in "Download mode" (keeping the back button pressed while connecting the USB cable to the computer). The crucial part is that the phone is TURNED OFF at the step where you press the back button, and that you KEEP the button pressed until Flashtool starts to flash.
And install gordon gate's usb drivers
Hit thanks button.

you don't need to turn on unknown sources. pull out the battery, put it in, don't turn on the phone, in flashtool click on flash-> choose the file you want to flash, pc will tell you that you need to hold back button and conect the phone. do it

Well u stuck right? Use SEUS to restore 2.1, root back, install back xrecovery installer,do full wipe (must do this for once), flash GDX13, reboot, touch ur screen during sony ericsson logo appear, CWM will appear, flash GDX21, complete. GUD LUCK
-If u want, unlocked bootloader and flash alfs kernel v5. don forget to flash update file in cwm
Thanks but I can´t connect phone in SEUS. When it show me how to connect it I do it. But then my device manager shows that i connect Sony Ericsson USB Flash but after while it change for USB Mass Storage Device and there is error that device can´t turn on

There may be a simple solution,as you said it stops booting after flashing GDX.did you try a full wipe after flashing the rom?did you flashed it with CWM or xRec?
It stops before GDX and I flashed it with xRecovery. Still nothing, i still have only SE logo.....
You must install GingerDX with CWM Recovery. Only v013 and older can be installed with xRecovery
But how if I can´t instal CWM now?
You must reinstall stock firmware with FlashTool, SEUS or PC Companion first

I know, I already tried it. Flashtool want Unknown sources and Debugging on, but I can´t turn it on because I can´t turn on phone. SEUS can´t find my phone, in Device manager X8 looks like Sony Ericsson USB Flash but after while it change to USB Mass Storage Device. And there is error because the device can´t be turned on. I tried it also through PCC. I tried repair it. But it can´t download software and I don´t know why.
FlashTool don't need Unknown sources and USB debugging to be turned on. It is only info what you need to do after flashing when phone boots up.
Do you have flash drivers installed?
Try to turn off your antivirus if you have it installed.
Can you try reinstall it on another computer?
I posted log from Flashtool here before.Here it is once again.....
