Hi everyone, after some attempts to flashing 2.1 on my x8 (it's a prototype) i can't boot again, i get the sony ericsson logo that loops forever..
I've tried to repair it using seus, but it says that there are no updates for my phone and i don't get any repair options..
So i'm trying with bin4ry's flash tool, but with no luck, i've almost put every rom found here on xda but after the flashing process ends with no errors, i reboot the phone and nothing happens. the only thing i can access is xrecovery, but I have no backup to recovery from.
can someone help me??
Cheers
Luca
It also happen to me. Did you tried with pc companion? Go to software update, and click repair. This will install a clean android 2.1

thanks for the reply, but i can't connect to pc companion because the phone doesn't start, so i can only go in flash mode, no debug or usb..
Try to find prototype (brown) fw somewhere... if you know someone with setool box, i think he can get you prototype fw from support area...

When you go to flash your phone with X10FlashTool, select the option wipe data user, (or something like that, i can't remember now).. at least, it works for me.. XD

Here is a link to the flasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 . You say that the phone does not work, could you explain on that, is it that your phone keeps rebooting or is it that it gets stuck at the Sony ericsson boot logo?
as the title said, i wonder if anyone here has the original eclair or donut ROM from Indonesia which is preinstalled with Kaskus, Bhinekka, etc.
I really need it, because i want to complain to SE about my phone, because the charger and the battery's warranty sticker already worn out/broken when i unbox it at my home.
Please help me.
Thanks before.
Right now i use Black X8 with WORLD Eclair ROM

Update the phone with PC Companion. If they ask you about the filmware just say that you Update it with the program wich was in the phone.
(You will also tell the truth lol)

well, when i try to update it with pc companion, in the downloading process, the program said that it was unable to start update service or something like that because i forgot the line.
well, good solution though, im really mad when i realize that the charger and the battery's warranty sticker was already broken, and i bought it new.
thanks for answering
Try this...
GreatApo said:
First of all, do not panic (i say that because i was in panic myself the first time i bricked my phone).
I suggest you to install the stock rom from pc companion (then install what ever you want). You will LOOSE ALL your data (exept the ones in your SDcard), but it's better that a bricked phone
PC companion will work, follow the steps:
1. Go to "Support Zone" (in Pc Companion)
2. Click "Start" (without to connect the phone)
3. A window will pop up, click the "Repair phone" link
4. Click "continue"
ATTENTION: Somewhere here the program will ask you to choose you phone, i can't tell when because i have choose mine the first time i did it. After this it will ask you to connect it pressing the "Back" button.
5. A window will pop up to inform you somehow that you will lost you data, ckeck the box and click "next"
6. The PC Companion will download the final version of your stock rom, just wait... and then it will install it.
(the phone will connect throught flash mode)
P.S.:This will work, that's how i fixed my X8 when i had the same problem...
I hope that i helped you

yes i did it like that. but when in the preparation for updating process, it shows an error message. BUT STRANGELY, just now i used hongkong's eclair, and i try to use the PC Companion, it doesnt give any error. I dont know why, but it wont matter if it works because i dont want a hongkong's stock ROM.
Can't you take it to the strore for a guaranty now? or maybe they fix it... then you can install the rom you want...

that is the reason why i want the original regional firmware, i want to complain to SE about my phone's package.
Look here : http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/78719#78719
Sony was just blocked repairing of our phone i dont know why but its blocked it.
I doubt they've done it so we rooted users don't get our warranty back. What's the point?? Even unrooted users may face problems with their software so they must run SEUS or something. There must be a way.
We can flash original software thorugh Flashtool
And PCCompanion allows repairing.
OMG, the link in the first post here is a false alarm: the people who can't repair his phone was a littlebit unaware. I mean he pulled out his phone during updating, and then SEUS can't repair the software on the phone. So there is no talking about SE blocked repair! It's just messed up the ROM, and SEUS can't recognize it. End of story...
A couple of months ago I changed build.prop (for JiT). Phone works. After that I tried to restore the firmware via SEUS, but repair button was blocked.
Maybe need to use stock build.prop to repair phone?
@as-mario - you should be banned from xda...
is this true or not?
No it works, if you follow the instructions correctly, meaning DON'T UNPLUG YOUR PHONE WHILE UPDATING!
Yes, I noticed it too, that sometimes you need the original buld.prop to repair phone. Maybe something writes some line in it and SEUS can't do anything.
I didnt brick my phone but what noob will done if he cant repair trought pc comp and seus does not have repair option

He gets X10 flash tool and flashes original software, thats what an n00b should do if he cant use SEUS
OMG! Repair option is actually BLOCKED!!!! SEUS now is capable of recognizing whether the phone is rooted or has installed a custom ROM!
Check this out:
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/79099#79099
OMG, please guys! Read some! Repairing hasn't been blocked! Only thing is you need an original build.prop file for your phone in some cases! That's all. END.

I don't know. I can find myself an original build.prop on hungarian forums, but I think these files are only working with hungarian X8s. So I suggest you to save the original .prop file before you make any changes on your phone, OR If you can restore orig. ROM with SEUS, then do it, and save prop, if you can't then I don't know. Maybe ask a build.prop from your country: friends/ family members, etc.
Dont use pc companion,use phone upadate software,search in se website for phone update software

hi guys im noob here..

If you pulled the phone while updating, then you have an expensive paperweight!
Don't people read instructions?
How to fix a Hardbricked X8
I have worked out how to fix a hardbricked X8 WITHOUT using PC Companion or Flashtool. You can even use it if xRecovery doesn't work!
First, Download the executable here
Install on a Windows PC
Once installed, Update Service should start automatically. If not, find it in the Start menu.
Find the X8 from the list
It will ask you to connect your phone by taking out the battery, waiting 5 seconds before putting the battery back in again, then pressing and holding the Back button while inserting the MicroUSB cable into the X8
Release the back button when told to do so
Update Service will download the latest ROM, then flash it to your phone
Unplug your phone, then turn it on and it is guaranteed to work if you follow the instructions step by step
I hope this helped, and if it worked for you, hit the Thanks button!
SEUS isn't supported by SE anymore, but it works better than PCCompanion for fixing our phone
Everybody knows this and why do you say you don't need SEUS if you are actually explaining how to use it?

Sorry for my late reply as I have been finishing off my Android app and helping with CyanogenMod on the.Ace. I mainly posted this, not as a guide, but a way to download the latest version of SEUS, as it is hard to get hold of. I got this off a Sony Ericsson employee, and thought others may find it useful.

Hi, I've seen in your signature that you achieved a Quadrant Score of over 1700: what smartphone have you achieved this score on? If it's an XPeria X8 what have you done on it to achieve such a high score? I've never been able to get past about 1025-1030 (my X8 is both rooted, overclocked @ 729.6Mhz and JIT enabled, plus nAa kernel and bootloader unlocked). With that I've too never been able to get a Quadrant score above 1025. So would be curious to know what you have managed to do on this smartphone to get such a high score.

If you want to return to the stock rom 2.3.3 uses PcCompanion
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
press support zone--->update phone-->repair and follow the guide
if you want to go back to a 2.3.x you just flash the rom with respective FlashTool
Use the repair option in PC companion to go back to stock unrooted 2.3.3
computer cannot recognize my xperia x10

PCCompanion can detect my phone, but it said i have to mount my phone. i stuck in this step. dont know how to mount phone in ICS. it does not have anything scroll down and tap usb connect... like in android 2.3.3. Did you actually try? Thanks.

and when asked connect the device in flash mode as per the instructions
you can find the download over here.
OR
you can flash stock kernel and then the stock firmware using the flashtool
