[Q]my X8 become a brick after i change the theme

hello everyone, i am a newbie. I root my X8 successfully.i want to change the theme. so, i replace the framework apk file in the system.After that, it becomes a brick. When i turn on the phone, it stops at the frame of ''Sony ericsson''. But i can go into xRecovery. What should i do? i want to use my X8 asap...

maybe u can reflash it via SEUS

ya...i have tried SEUS,i need to turn on to usb mode to connact the pc companion. But i can't turn on my phone. It is stop at the frame of ''Sony Ericsson'' text. I need to take off the battery to turn off the phone.(sorry my english is poor )... i think i should take my phone to the SE shop to repair...

If you can get to xRecovery, can you flash one of the Roms in the Development section. Things may not work, but at least you won't be bricked.
You could probably connect it to SEUS after

at first, try "fix permissions" in xRecovery
if it won't help, just restore firmware via SEUS

You didn't bricked it man... Brick is when you cannot use any home-tools like xRecovery, SEUS, whatever...
Now if you have backup just restore it, if you not have - flash it with X10 flasher. Or use the guide to install the newest update.

i solved the problem with SEUS,Thank You^_^

How are you trying to apply the theme? There is a trick to it.

I had a rooted , xRecovery, app2sd2.1 mod dalvik cache, . . .
rebooted and bricked
no recovery, no nothing past black screen ' Sony Ericsson' screen.
downloading Update service from SE, but FA will get me past this screen so-far
( removed sd=no joy)(usb to PCCompan=not found(as I cannot mount))(cannot find fail-safe key-presses to factory boot???)
?

Try to flash with a custom rom and then use SEUS.. It might work
Sent from my E15i using XDA App

Seus 2.11.1.9
I'm trying with the Downloaded standalone version, but have a problem.
after I select the X8, it tells me to hold back button, and plug in USB,
now windows finds a 'semc flash' device, but hangs there.
Something is severing the internet connection ( USB internet dongle )
at this point the PC is locked .

[Q] I screwed up

Hey
I had some problems with xRecovery, and i deleted the system/bin
Now my phone won't start up, and freeze at "Sony Ericsson" logo.
I Can't press back so xRecovery show up, and i can't use SEUS to update my phone :SS What should i do? :SS

[Q] phone is stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo

I was using the flash tool to boot my phone in xRecovery but when it started turning on it got stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo. It's been there for about a day. I can't restore in PC companion as my phone needs to be on. What should i do?

Use SEUS or FlashTool to reinstall firmware

There are about 3 more topics about this... here is one answer...
If you want me to explane sth, ask it here

Remove the battery.
Open PC Companion or SEUS.
Select repair.
Put the battery.
Run the phone into flash mode ( press back then plug with usb cable ).
Phone detected, repaired.
Hope this help.

Just follow the step in this link, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11934117&postcount=7) Then everything will go gine...^^..Cheer!!

dp full wipe from xrecovery and install the rom again!

Hi all

What did I do before breakdown ?
i upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2.1 . it runned normally but can't see simcard so i wanted to downgrade 2.1 version to use my phone normally. I downgraded the version with Sony Ericsson Pc Companion last sony ericsson version.
When the downgrade is done by SE pc Companion i tried to open my Xperia and i see breakdown.

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/updateservice/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
Follow the instructions and press the back button before plugging in the cable.
Download the software and keep in mind that playing around with roms will result in these problems so don't go too far.
1. Take your battery out.
2. Hold the back button. Make SEUS running and ready.
3. Plug it into the computer.
4. Put your bateery back in.
Follow the instructions. Hopefully it would work and good luck
If it worked dont forget to hit thanks button.

Where can I find X8 stock ROM with GUI?

Guys, my wife's X8 just got busted..
touchscreen is gone.. display is still there but not responding to touch anymore.
(I did everything I can.. so confirmed it's a hardware issue).
I've flashed this to a custom ROM.
How can I flash this back to stock 1.6? Along with the SE GUI?
I ran search on forum and found I need to download SE PC Companion, or SEUS.. will that do the trick? I need confirmation because my internet connection at home is quite slow, and I need to send this back for warranty ASAP.
Thanks all.

Yeah, download SEUS, select repair and it will install stock 2.1
Sent from my X8 using XDA App

Thanks Godra..
However I found this from SE Website..
How to use
1. On the computer: Start PC Companion.
2. Connect the USB cable to your computer and then to the phone..
3. On the phone: Select the "Connect your phone" option.
4. Wait for the phone to connect.
5. On the computer: From the Dashboard, select the applications to start different services and get information.
----
Issue is the touchscreen is busted, so I can't select the "Connect your phone" option.
Any other flashing method to get back to stock without them noticing that I've modded?

use the Flashtool.
You´ll have the choice beetween different 1.6 and 2.1 ROMs, and you just need to putn your phone into flashmode for this, so you don´t have to touch the screen.

You can try x10 flashtool. I would post you a link to the thread but im currently on my x8 so you ll have to use search...

Thanks codfreak and Godra.. I'll try first and see how it goes.
Appreciate your help. God bless!

Dear all, I found out that I've made a nandroid backup of the original stock ROM and saved it on my computer hard disk (see.. always do a nandroid backup!)
Anyway, I have xRecovery installed on the phone.. how do I uninstall it?

Flash with SEUS. You need first to turn OFF your phone (better to pull out battery). Run SEUS, choose your phone, next.
When SEUS asks, put your battery in while pressing back button. It will restore original Eclair.

unfortunately after using Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0, the app is unable to detect my phone.
Upon connect via USB, it asked me to do something to the phone.. which require touchscreen interaction before it could identify..

You are not trying SEUS?
I think there is no need to touch anything on phone because SEUS is needed your phone to turn off.

wc_how, yeah I didn't use SEUS.. hehe..
Oh well, I sent the phone after nandroid restore.. stock ROM.. as it is..
At the service center, one lady tested my phone.. checked the hardwares.. all appears ok, no sign of drop.. while I explained about the touchscreen issue..
All of a sudden she enters xRecovery before I knew it.. and she was greeted by this smirking Android face...
She paused, take a look at me... I smiled...
She turned the phone off and said "Ok, we're going to replace the touchscreen for you, please sign here - here's your reference number, we will call you - or you can call us when the device is ready"
And I was off.. hehehe

Your lucky then, enjoy
