content: Helloyesterday i got my xperia x8 back from the sony service and i was so happy.the sad thing is that my custom rom i had it was gone.Sodownloaded super one click(for root) and the xrecovery files(to flash new roms)but when i turned the phone on the phone just kept rebooting when i was going into the settings and stuff.Then i tried to put the stock 2.1 rom from pc companion (i thought it was a software error)but the same thing happened also it has wifi but when i set it to on and then to off it wont close.I actually had installed a custom rom yesterday and it was working good (except for the wiffi which gave me an error)and now i cant even root it .... plz helpThank you.

content: Search for your phone model + "bricked" on google and follow the procedure for flashing the original image. Stay away from custom roms and rooting until you are able to understand how they work and what not to do. Messing with the framework, installing unsupported themes, certain launchers and players from other phone models will likely trigger a bootloop (the thing that you have now).Most of these bootloops can be fixed if you are a bit handy with adb and reading logs and have a little *nix experience. It does not seem you are at that level yet.Be aware that flashing a custom ROM voids your warranty so you were lucky they replaced the phone the first time.

content: Thanks for your post.I know that my phone is not bricked because i flashed the stock rom from the pc companion.As for rooting and the whole procedure ... i have done this a bunch of times (one time i hard bricked my phone by accident trying to flash a kernel so i have learned from my mistakes)and the phone responded just fine to those changes.But when it arrived it was like "new" and these things happened with the original rom AND kernel right out of the service box.

content: Yes, but you have written that you have installed a custom rom yesterday.Simple solution would be service. Complicated solution is dmesg.

content: thanks for your post.i got the original rom from the uppdate service again after i flashed the custom romAs for the service part of my case... i stoped by the sony service department in Kavala(my town) after school and the only thing i got from them is this :"Please contact the Sony service department in Athens" then the emploee gave me the number of the department and when i asked "Can you please send it back the thing was broken the time i got it" she answered "I will not get charged again for shipping (i dont know why but the shipping cost is apparently on them even if the phone's warranty is still valid) if the problem you have can be fixed without being sent"Anyway ill try tommorow to acces the dmesg file ( i did not know that was before your post thanks for the info) and i will reply after i see the filethank you and i hope this gets fixed.
