this is a shot in the dark, as i'm not as knowledgeable as the other members who have already answered. but try a diff version of flashtool to flash back to stock rom (i did not use the latest when i got softbricked) and change baseband to 015 (i'm using w8 so use a baseband equivalent for x8 if they're different). and why not try flashing a different custom rom if you can? i might have repeated others' posts but that's all i can think of. hopefully something works. and if the others think the methods i listed would do more harm pls let us know. it'd be nice to learn a thing or two without having to experience this type of problem. :)

Follow LeiUlanday's post a few posts up.
[XPERIA X8 General] LeiUlanday:
Please follow the procedures given by Gravier. Be sure to do it from 1 till the end.

Some custom roms require for you to manually do the full wipe, others are programmed to wipe during install.

I made a mistake a couple of times of flashing a rom without wiping, ot would always get my phone bricked. Be keen not only on flashing procedures but also of the custom rom's as well.

Don't panic. Doesn't mean it didn't work the first or second time wouldn't work the next time, you might have missed a step or two. There are also youtube tutorials for flashing. :) :) :)

Hello

I just want to thank you for this great post, you saved my phone from brick.

I was getting pretty desperate since i couldnt enter xRecovery and flashtool generate an amount of errors with java, but i took a deep breath, used the sony

pc companion and all is ok. Just have to muster the corage to choose another rom for this since i trully detest the sony rom...

Anyway, thank you very much.
[XPERIA X8 General] cascabel:
Try gdx. You do have cwm/xrecovery, din't you?

Flash the rom using either one of those then do a full wipe. You shouldn't encounter any problems after that.

Don't forget to make a backup as you'll be doing a factory reset.

Escaped from bricked phone/ Stuck at SE logo....

I was facing same problem. My X8 stuck at SE logo while installing other custom ROMs. I tried lot of things Flashtool, SE PC companion. Nothing worked.

But SE update service helped me.

My phone is working fine now.

ATTENTIONFlashtool, PCC and SEUS will cause loss of data such as contacts, stored messages, installed apps and so on. Anything that exists in phone memory will be erased. Memory card is not altered.

I have been reading this forum for help whenever I have problems and I always manage to find the solution here.

I updated my X8 to GingerDX 2.3.7 a few months back. Recently I keep having problems detecting my WiFi.

I did full wipe and it's back to normal again, but yesterday it stuck at the white sony ericsson logo.

I tried flash tool but failed to revive my X8. But PCC manage to revive my X8 from the dead.

Today I registered so that I could say a big thank you to everyone here for helping.

hi,

I am really stuck. There is a lot of posts here but they don't help. I tried to install CMD on my upgraded Android ICS to select a better version (I was using v28 but v25 was recommended). Well it basically messed up phone up and its like a brick now.

I cannot get anything installed as the PC does not recognise the SDCARD. I cant get into XRecovery (which I was using).

What can I do ?

[XPERIA X8 General] diabolicalprophecy:

The better way to deal with bricks is flashing a custom kernel like alfs or nAa. They have recovery built in kernel and you can reinstall your rom whenever you get problem... Make sure you have unlocked boot-loader and flash tool with gg gate driver installed on your pc.. There are many threads on unlocking boot loader on this forum.

Also make sure that your pc is up to date, because computers running on older version of windows ,i.e before 2011 with no update doesn't recognize Our device in flash mode (im not sure but it solved my problem few months earlier)... Install latest version of windows if you can.

Bricked Xperia X8 & none of the methods' working

I've recently bricked my Xperia x8 (Manufacturing Date: 11w35) during stupidly (:mad:) installing MiniCM7-2.2.1-shakira using xRecovery but without unlocking bootloader (i was too stupid :mad:) . My previous ROM was stock 2.1 (untouched).

Now the boot gets stuck at SE logo & xRecovery never appears pressing the "Back" button :( (NB: I have a full backup of my previous system.)

I got PC Companion but that thingy can't identify my device during "Software Update", while there's only a SE logo standing on my device screen.

Flashtool detects my phone - but though I have all the necessary (may be) drivers along with "Gordon's Gate", I'm in no luck with the following logs: :crying:

I've tried kernels as 2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-03, 2.6.29.6-nAa-jb & E15i-2.1.

There is also a notification as: "USB Device Not Recognized"

hello guys, I would have a problem with my zte nubia Z5S .. I tried to put the rom 4.4 with cwm 4.2.2. When I go to turn on the phone stays on the writing nubia and it does not go into recovery and do not know how to make it go in fastboot. the PC does not recognize it unless I put it in download mode, thus making the computer detects the storage but do not have any content! EMPTY is as if I had formatted. I've tried various guides Unbricking but when I go to connect to QPST the phone reboots and disconnect.QPST says it is a device sahara memory dump.

[HD2 General] ftosam:
Hey guys,

I'm a little bit new at this, but my missus flashed a rom onto her HD2 a year or two ago and about 6 months ago I tried to revert it back to stock, so i could give it to a mate...

It didnt go well and ended up not being able to get into the boot loader (three colour screen?).

So i pulled it out yesterday as I am going to need a temporary phone soon...

I plugged it into the charger and it vibrated 5 or 6 times and up came the HTC logo with the white background... It stayed on that permantly.

So i'm at work now and figured i'd try to get into the boot loader (3 colour screen).

But now when i try to turn it on, it doesnt want to. Every now and then after pulling out the battery and plugging it in and fiddling around and putting the battery back, it will vibrate 5 or 6 times again, but no screen...

I'm pretty sure its due for the graveyard... But is there any chance to get this happening again?

Thanks for any help, and sorry, i dont remember the ROMs or anything, but they were ones that were all recommended in here... i'm usually very carefull when flashing.
[HD2 General] fracmo2000:
When turning the phone on, hold the power (far right button) and the down volume button...be quick and you shouldnt see the splash screen. If that works, get a rom and rename to leoimg and put that on your sdcard.
[HD2 General] ftosam:
She's not turning on anymore... its like the battery is flat but she's plugged in...

It does have a cheap ebay battery, so might try and dig out the original battery and see if that is the issue..
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If you could not get it to the bootloader the first time way back when then it is .ricked and no amount of time of it just laying ariund will have changed that. The only way to revive the phone is by using a JTAG and a RIFFBOX on it but the RICFBOX will cost you where the JTAG is not that bad. Or you can replace the mainboard in the phone. These are your options my friend.
[HD2 General] ftosam:
Turns out the Ebay battery was having an effect on it...

Have got it to the three colour screen! woo!

It says:

PB81100 SS-BC

SPL-3.03.0000 XE

MicroP(LED) 0x05

MicroP(Touch) 0x50

So looks like i've got SPL-3.03.0000???

No idea on the radio though. and no idea how to get this back to stock.

Any ideas?

Oh and also, we bought this initially from mobicity.com.au and its apparently a Thailand phone, so we always used to have problems trying to flash a ROM that was in english with out Serial Number. :(

Any help would be awesome... I dont know alot about this stuff, and should never have let the missus stuff around with it.

THanks for any help guys and gals.
[HD2 General] ftosam:
Edit:

Better yet, How do i go from where my phone is now, to WP7?

Should i go right back to stock first? or can I just go from here?

Should I change from SPL-3.03.0000?

Any help would be awesome.

thank you

Edit again:

With this SPL, could I Install MAGLDR 1.13 from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=912416)

Update the ROM,

THen in MAGLDR USB Flash and Install DFT_LEO70_RELEASE?

If I can do this with SPL3.03.0000, then would love to have some WP7 goodness.

Then
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You can go straight for WP7, but to flash MAGLDR you have to have HSPL 2.08. Google or search XDA for HSPL 4 and download it and flash it through bootloader. Before you try to flash though make sure to go to www.windowsmobile.com/getstarted and download the lates version of Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) and install it to your computer as it has USB drivers you need. If you are using Windows XP then download the latest ActiveSync from there and install it to your computer. Put your HD2 into bootloader and connect your HD2 via USB cable to your computer and wait utiil the Serial changes to USB in the white bar of bootloader. Then run the HSPL 4 and when it ask what HSPL or SPL you want to install make sure to select HSPL 2.08, this is the only HSPL MAGLDR supports. Use the same method to flash a new radio if need be and to flash MAGLDR. Let me know if you need any more assistance and I will help, you can even PM me if you want. Glad your HD2 is not bricked too.
[HD2 General] ftosam:
Thanks for the help...

Went to try this and the bloody phone went back to doing the same thing again... grrr... Maybe this charger i'm using at work isnt working or something (Original HTC USB Port Charger (240V)

Any Advice on which radio is good?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah use radio version 2.15.50.24 as it is the latest radio and seems to be the best one out so far.
[HD2 General] ftosam:
Quick question:

Got HSPL 2.08 on...

Does the HTC charge while in the bootloader(three colour screen) and plugged into USB?

Might charge it for a while before I attempt anymore..
[HD2 General] silverwind:
Do you see the LED light? if not, then it doesnt charge ;)
[HD2 General] ftosam:
Yeh no LED...

Dunno how i'm going to charge this thing...
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
No it does not charge, sorry. Also sorry for the late post I had some personal crap to do lol.

Edit: You can buy a external charger for the HD2 battery if you want to. Or if you want to you can do this. Note I only suggest you do this long enough to flash some kind of ROM onto your HD2 and then completely charge the battery the normal way. Take a old or very cheap USB cable and cut the end off. Strip back the red and black wires a little. Use some tape to attach the red wire to the positive battery terminal and the black wire to the negative battery terminal. Plug the USB cable into your wall charger and mantain a watch on the battery for any warming up or swelling as it is a very very small chance this could occur. Also don't worry about getting shocked cause it is like ultra low voltage going through the wires.
[HD2 General] ftosam:
Thanks a heap... have dodgied up a charging rig... lol...

Its not easy with the battery terminals being recessed, but i think its working...

what you reckon an hour or so at that? or only half an hour should do it?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I would go for like 40 to 45 minutes as long as you do not see any adverse effects like I mentioned before. Make sure you are completely ready to flash a ROM when you take it off the charging rig. best of luck.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
Hopefully this is not a bit late, but be careful of charging with makeshift arrangements. LiIon batteries can have explosive!
