[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deni196496:
Hey guys, I have a problem, but it is bigger than you think.

Until today I have used GingerDX v0.27. I wanted to update it to v0.29. So I have done everything as always.

I have downloaded the .zip-file.

Then I have copied the .zip-file onto my SD-Card.

I started the phone while pushing the back-key.

I have cleaned the cache and installed the .zip-file.

But then I have made a huge mistake:

I have cleaned the cache again.

I don't know if I have bricked my phone when I have cleaned the cache again, but now it hangs at the Sony Ericsson-logo.

So I tried to start the phone while pushing the back-key. But nothing happens. I can only see the SE-logo.

Because I can't enter the CWM-Recovery I tried to install the stock ROM with Sony PC Companion 2.1.

But it simply doesn't recognize my phone. (I've clicked on "Repair phone" and done all that what the suite wanted. But it stays at "Connect your phone with USB while holding the back-key".)

So I have downloaded the "FlashTool".

But when I start it, click on Flash, click on the X8 Firmware (I've downloaded it from the Internet) "X8 Shakira E15i 2.1..." and follow the steps which are displayed on the screen it shows me this in the FlashTool:

So if anyone has any advice for me I would be very lucky.
