I just got my X8 today and then i rooted in with SuperOneClick. Then i installed app2sd and were having wifi problem ( cannot obtain address), so i asked my brother and he suggested me to reset the phone see whether it works. After reset my phone cannot detect my SIM.
What should i do?
Simple connect your phone with pc and use repair function in pc companion.

Thank you. it works jsut well now.
does ur wifi corrected? ur superuser still in ur phone?
It appened to me today, when I was trying to turn on from airplane mode. I've just reboot the mobile and no problem. It seems to me a sw issue, cause the simcard is less than a year old. Am I wrong?

Hi XDA Folks!
Recently (Yesterday) i bought this litle peace of cellphone to my GF and i was trying to upgrade it to Floyo 1.0 (Update July 5,2011). I must tell you that the phone bought was an X8a from Claro Guatemala, it was still running Android 1.6 on it.
What have i done so far? Since i have knowlegde on Android and the SE family of phones (I used to own an X10 a few months ago) i rooted, installed Xrecovery from Flashtool and made a backup of the 1.6 ROM. By mistake i downloaded Android 2.1.1.0.A.6 for E15i and when the phone booted back it asked me to write the SIM NETWORK UNLOCKING CODE and i thought to myself WTF!!! So again i downloaded two more files:
Android 1.6 Claro Chile for X8a
Android 2.1 World for X8a
Flashed Android 1.6 back to the phone and then it was working normally it recognized the SIM and so. Right after that i flashed Android 2.1 for X8a world and again the SIM was recognized and working good. Until here no issues or whatsoever...
Rooted again, Xrecovery Installed and then i moved floyo 1.0 from this thread to /sdcard/xrecovery and then performed the restore to have that ROM up and running...
The phone didn't boot so i flashed Baseband 15 for X8a from Blagus mediafire folder the phone booted again but the SIM is not recognized again it keeps asking for the UNLOCKING CODE....
Do you think i am doing something wrong here?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated...

Try this
Backup your data and contacts on your PC
Install xRecovery
Boot into XRecovery
Format System, Format Data, Format Cache, Format SDCard
Mount USB from xRecovery copy the Floyo.zip on the sdcard
Unmount USB then Unmount SDCard in xRecovery the mount SDCard back - to refresh the files from the SDCard
Install Custom zip
This way your phone should be clean with only floyo and u can copy back your stuff from the PC.
I had some problems with some data from the SDCard when switching ROMs also if this works dont restore data using google account sometimes data from an older ROM messes up your new one like wireless passwords.
Thanks for the reply i'll try but i think my phone can't use Baseband 15 because whenever i flash baseband 15 my SIM gets network locked. If i revert back to the X8a Global firmware it works again...
I'll do more research and i'll post the results of the steps you advised me..
Thanks!

For me it is normal that the SIM unclocking code appear.. I just push dismiss and everything goes smooth with newly install ROM.. every time you restart the phone this annoying SIM unclocking code appear.. just Dismiss

Thanks for the tip, however i think my phone can't handle baseband 15. Yesterday i downloaded 2.1.1.A.0.6 WORLD and when it boots up it asks for the SIM UNLOCKING CODE, i choose dismiss but the phone doesn't get any network signal.
Weird thing is that it does work using the 2.1 update with baseband 06... Anyone else having this sort of issue? I really want to put at least FROYO on my GF Cellphone but i don't know what else i can do...
Am i doomed and have to deal with the 2.1 update??
J!M
you try using SEUS to flash?... i'm from Chile and my phone's baseband was originaly 06.
Install seus (Sony Ericsson Update Service), and my new baseband is 15 ^^.
Try it...
Or you could update to 2.1 from 1.6 on the phone.
Thanks for the help guys... I give up, i tried flashing Claro Chile 1.6 and then upgrading trough SEUS and the same result. My phone got the 2.1.1.A.0.6 with baseband 15 but it again asks for the SIM unlock network code....
I'll try to take to my career service center to see if they can update it.

SIM network unlocking code is not the same as SIM unlock code. I have a SIM lock code (so that if my phone gets stolen and they shut it down, they can't use my sim card). Sim NETWORK unlock code is the code you need to unlock your phone for any carrier (if I am correct). You should dismiss the 2nd one.
If the first one (lock code) appears and you don't know it or have never set one up, try 1234. If it doesn't work, talk to your carrier.

I got to say, your panic is not going to help. First I want you to take a deep breath, and relax. Now, in order for us to help you. We need to have more information. More specifically, the following: Do you have roo. boot loader unlocked? What carrier are you using? What ROM and kernel you're using? Is your sim good? Are you using a micro sim? What radioband you're using? Is your sim card adapter slot damaged? Is your imei bad? Now you need to put this in a detailed explanation with what you have done with your device up until the point in where your phone stopped working.
stock room,one week old device, no root or nothing similar,the phone doesn't show imei number just blank window (*#06#)

If it's stock and all you did was do an OTA upgrade to 4.2.2 have you tried talking to your carrier? Being only a week old I would use their assistance to your advantage especially if you did not unlock/root the device. (not sure how you came across the sim card, if it was sold with the phone like it was with mine at T-Mobile, or if you just got the phone and then used a sim from the carrier).
but t mobile will send nexus to repair's for a month so do not want to be w/o my phone for so long.I'd like to solve it home...
Hello, my phone connects and disconnects to network all day. It just lay there on table or my pocket and disconnects and then later automatically reconnects at any given time. At first I was like that it is just a bad/corrupted Sim so I got my Sim replaced, but with new sim the problem still persist. It just shows "No Service" message and then later reconnects with network. Later I realized that it happens to both sim cards, usually I don't call from my second sim it's just for Internet usage.
I searched google for solutions, and somewhere I read that it's due to corrupted IMEI file in the EFS folder.
So please help me how to replace IMEI file without reflashing the firmware. I dont want to loose any data on my phone because everything is in its palce
Or if you have any other solution please help me out ASAP
Regards

I'm on stock ROM.
Actually I have flashed modem.bin via Odin and so far I guess the problem is solved.

Wi-Fi is using similar memory controller as SD card. I had an issue where my SD got corrupted and Wi-Fi did not turn on because of it aswell. So try removing/replugging the SD card (and restart afterwards).
Ty for your answer blefish, i try what u do and try with another SD card, and i put my SD to another device. and i can´t turn on wifi, but my friend phone´s works well.
UPDATE: i made a downgrade to 2.2.2 froyo and WiFi Works Well.. any hint to upgrade my phone? whitout lose WiFi?¡
]when you're on ICS do you have an IMEI number? If not your phone is screwed on any ROM higher than GingerBread. Mine is the same. It just cycles through the connecting cycle on and off. I've even tried forcing an IMEI number through a program but it didn't change anything.
EDIT: nevermind finally after hours and hours of trying to revive this phone I got my IMEI back and wifi working. Damn it took ages to figure out.
Flashed to Official Gingerbread, then done the steps of retoring my IMEI number which is listed behind my battery. I used DFS tools for this and a post that tells you how to access the project setting menu to enable the settings. Then I wrote my IMEI number back on my phone, then rooted it and installed a custom recovery. Then from there installed Aurora ICS and used another post here to write my Mac address found behind my battery using Terminal Emulator. And bam! my wifi isnt stuck in a loop trying to connect anymore.
I got an IMEI number but the wifi dosent work, do I need to simply use TWRP to get official? then go back?
Hi. I was originally on Pixel Xperience, but I decided to change to Candy. I read that mobile data is working there so I did it without any doubts about it. I factory's reseted my phone with TWRP deleting also system, because I wanted a fresh start... And everything went smoothly, but now the phone refuses to recognize any of my two sim cards... One of them is 4G and the other one isn't.
Does any of you know a way of restoring my mobile network service? Preferably without having to reflash stock or something.. thanks in advance for just reading this!

Are you using OpenGApps? I've had similar problems with some roms.
