[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_T_:
Okay please help. I have an unlocked bootloader (or had an unlocked bootloader) on my X8, it was rooted as well. I decided I'd like to get a custom Rom so I attempted to install GingerDX. I installed Clockwork Recover mod and tested it out to see if it was working. It was so I decided to back the phone up. The back up worked fine and I moved the backup to my computer. Then I restarted the phone to install the GingerDX rom. I cleared all the user data and I then went to install a zip file then chose the zip file. The installation completed so I pressed the back button and it said something about it being unsafe and that I will have no backup but I thought it was going to be fine as I had a backup of the kernel and the system on my computer.

I decided to ignore the warning as the installation said it was completed as well. But when I rebooted using Clockwork recovery mod the phone was stuck on the Sony Ericsson loading screen and was for around 10 minutes before I turned it off by removing the battery. I tried to enter the flash mode and reinstall the kernel on to the phone through flashtool but this failed and after that I can't seem to enter flash mode at all.

Please, is there any way for this to work? I'm guessing it's a hard brick but is there anything that I could try to fix it considering I have a system backup and the stock kernel backup as well? Anything will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
it looks like you're on stock kernel. custom kernels do not show the se logo (haven't encountered one that does and i've tried quite a lot). are you sure you unlocked your bootloader? if you did, you haven't flashed a custom kernel yet.

don't worry it's only a soft brick. try using seus, pcc, or flashtool to recover it and go back stock rom. flash the rom, not the kernel.

did you download the stock kernel version of gdx? if not, that's probably why you encountered a bootloop.

edit: you also need to wipe dalvik cache and do a full wipe before flashing a rom

Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_T_:
Thanks a lot for the suggestion and I'm pretty sure I got the stock kernel version. Just in case I didn't can you send me a link if possible? Also I am on the stock kernel, I unlocked the bootloader but didn't bother flashing the kernel.

I've already tried PC Companion but I don't understand how to use it considering the phone actually cannot boot so I can't choose to connect the phone etc. Also I can't enter the clock work recovery mod anymore or the flash mode.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
just download the stock rom for x8 and flash it using flashtool. you do need pcc installed for that anyway. :)

well, i believe you when you say you have gdx's stock kernel version. maybe it's just that you didn't wipe cache, dalvik cache, and full wipe before flashing it?

just a Q though. why not flash a custom kernel? it makes a huge difference. :)

btw here's the link for stock: http://goo.im/devs/TeamFun/GingerDX/GingerDX-v031b-shakira-stock.zip

edit: you need to flash the stock se rom first to get out of the bootloop. then reroot you phone, install cwm, reboot to recovery and wipe, flash the rom. :thumbup:

Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_T_:
:facepalm:

I've been such an idiot. After a couple of tries it seems that I can actually boot to flash mode so it was just as simple as using Sony Update Service and repairing the phone. I feel like a bit of a tard. Anyway, this thread is resolved. Thanks for all your help and I've :thumbup: but just as a last note what kernel will go well with the GingerDX Rom?

And again thanks for all the quick help man. greatly appreciated.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
lol. no worries. believe me, i've been there too. :D

glad you found the solution. :thumbup:

Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longlnn:
I got hard brick too

please help me! My X8 cannot boot and green led is off!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
what did you do? what happens when you try to power it on?

Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longlnn:
i try power it on but don't have any sign life.

no led, no boot, no vibrate
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
try charging it fir a few minutes and try again. if not, you'll have to send it to sony.

did you try unlocking your bootloader?

Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spinalonga:
Completely dead?

I tried unlocking my bootloader. The phone turned off an since then no sign of life...

No charging, no led flashing, doesn't turn on, won't go in flash mode.

SEUS, PCC and Flashtool doesn't recognise it.

Is it hardbicked? Is anything that can be done?

Waranty expired too!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
what date does it have on the back of the phonen 11w29+? looks like it's a hard brick though.. those tools Can't revive it. you'll have to send it to sony to get it repaired..

Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spinalonga:
11W43

Does anybody happen to know if there's any chance that my hometown Sony service can handle that, or they will gonna send it at a central somewhere else?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groot:
send it to a nearby Sony service center because your manufacturing date isn't safe to perform the unlocking of the bootloader, and yes, it is indeed a hard brick :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auron.devil:
I have same problem, sony service center solved my problem with any cost, free for me.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mytch420:
I've had the same problem aswell, but my battery says 10W47?!

No Green LED, no nothing when I try to turn it on.

Help1?!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groot:
try charging it first my friend. leave it for about 20mins, check if it has life or if Flashtool would recognize it
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
the date on the battery is irrelevant. what's the date at the back of your phone?

Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mytch420:
I have left it charging over night, Im getting no signs of life from this in anyway.

The back of my phone says 10W51?

I cant get into flash mode

Also: I have an old Vivaz here and the X8, The vivaz was missing a battery and It turns out it uses the same battery as the x8, Ive tried using this battery in the vivaz but it wont turn on or charge, Is the battery gone?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
looks like the battery may be the issue. can the battery of the vivaz (if it's charged) power on your x8?

Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mytch420:
Not too familiar with this vivaz, Ive got it plugged in to the wall charger.

I have a white screen with SE across it, the battery at the top left seems to indicate it is charging, and on the left side where the charger plugs in theres a little red led which is solid red.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
same here. :) let the battery charge a bit and see if can power on your x8. i hope it does. :thumbup:

Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mytch420:
Thanks for the help mate! Will update when Its finished charging.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WrongType:
Thats why you can read everywhere that phone must be charged 50 % + because when you are rooting or flashing or something it can easily take 10%+ of battery.

Good Luck ;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
i've flashed with battery less than 10% numerous times. :rolleyes:

Just because i don't doesn't mean i can't.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WrongType:
Me too but it's bad idea,it's a lot safer with 50 % +

Coming from an AOSK, 1st flash didn't want to work... Stuck at Sammy logo.

On Recovery again, with new Rom kernel, re-full wipe, re- flash, and voilàaaa!.

If you come from AOSP- AOSK, maybe it's better to flash Philz kernel before, reboot Recovery, and flash Rom.

Wauh!, nice boot-animation...

Hello Carotix! I don´t want to offend you, but do you see a possibility to have stock icons? The mixture of "normal colored" icons of my apps and the ROMs design icons looks kinda strange :angel: You think I could use p.e. a 23 toggle mod from another rom - let´s say Biftors?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aftnoon2:
Well, I'm very happy with this Rom, but now my phone is locked again...:crying:

I've tryied with Chainfire's and Helroz apps, but nothing to do.

This rom is just ridiculously awesome themed.

The work you put into this rom is freaking crazy..

It's my wife's phone and she's addicted to color themes, like Kalagas theme ported by Carl and when I showed her this thread, she was like:naaa not that great, waaay to black:p.. But today she asked my to fix some issues on the phone and voila, phone wiped rom flashed, everything restored with TB and first she goes:noo what did you do:(. But after 1/2 a day I'm not even allowed to touch the phone and certainly no modifications must be made.lol. She loves it.. She loves it muaahaahaa :laugh:

Best rom i ever had

Thank you Carotix, this is the best ROM I ever had. Have been a lot of time after a well working, fully transparent ROM and now I finally found it. I flashed full transparent theme, transparent pull down without girl and happy. I made a very light version with nobloat reducing the apps to around 90 from around 180 and I flashed SOLO LAUNCHER, which is fantastic! Very smooth and very fast. Battery life is very good, in nightuse in 7 hours only 2%, on mixed use I will have to try longer ...

Ah, and the latest Philz-Kernel for LSS. So that´s all. I am a very, very, very happy user!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :good::good::good:

I've been using this rom for about a week now... And it's flawless... I highly recommend it

I don't understand people asking for different themes that's the whole point of this Rom...

If you are reading this then I definitely suggest giving it a shot

I've been working with Nova Launcher and this rom and I quite like the results...

So, as I can see, the icons on your screens are NOT the original ones! Is this possibly another theme? Or do you consider a wallpaper that can´t be changed as theme? It´s nice, is it from Nova?

wifi scanning

Hi Carotix! As you well may have seen, I´m a happy user of your Rom. Maybe you could help me: in wifi settings, although I am connected to my router and network, the phone is constantly scanning for other available networks. It didn´t do that with other Roms neither have I changed the Kernel (always Philz ...) and the notification of new networks is disabled. Any solution? This drives me nuts and drains battery ...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] cripubu:
I love Neatrom family and although I am with other roms I always come back to NEAT. Best "customer service" ever. I switched from Neatrom 4.7 lite to Biftor and from there (don´t like his way of treating users) I went to Carotix´s CarHDRom. I am quite a while with it, mainly because of his fully transparent theme. I like it. Compare, well, hard to say. I deleted system apps, came from 182 down to 89 apps, the ones I use. Followed Bobdoblos Battery List and now I have the feeling this Rom is at the moment the best I had. Smooth, fast, very good batterylife etc. What helps fastness is Solo Launcher, really great.! Should try ;)

Envoyé depuis mon GT-I9100 avec Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cripubu:
I think I didn´t explain well: download and install nobloat free - free is enough if you only delete one or two apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wiY29tLnR2a2RldmVsb3BtZW50Lm5vYmxvYXRmcmVlIl0. Open Nobloat. It will claim root access. After that you come to main window. There you can read "system apps" tap it and one of the first apps in the upcoming list is the one you want to delete. Tap on it and tap ok on the upcoming menu. It may be a little different, since I use the paid version, but this is mainly the way. ;)

Edit: forgot to say: you have to reboot after deleting the app/apps
