Hi everyone.
I got this phone on my birthday 4 months ago.
Over this time, i did everything but mess around with roms.
I installed xrecovery a few weeks ago.
And now i got this black screen (if you haven't seen it, it's that screen with the Sony Ericsson printed without the green circle).
And I must point out that i forgot to install the PC Companion before that happened.
So, now it's just stuck, idk what to do,I tried the flash mode but it says the driver can't be installed.
Any help,tips?
P.S. Please give me a link with the 2.1 version if possible, i don't know where to get the right one (for the X8)
I really didn't hope that my first post would be this, but that's how it turned out.
Hi, DON'T WORRY IT'S ALL RIGHT. EVERYTHING WILL BE OK
Just go to the Se official Website and download X8 Pc driver,
if you can see the white SONY ERICSSON when you boot, everything will be ok.
now, follow these steps.
a. Download x8 PC driver on their official website. Google SE... and you will find that page.
b. Install and open it.
c. Click SUPPORT ZONE, and click UPDATE SERVICE.
d. Click REPAIR PHONE
e. Follow Update Service's giving tips and you will fix it.
The first boot may takes you about five minutes. Don't take down the battery. Or you will be crazy...
You can fix your phone with US without turning on your phone, enjoy
thank you sooooooooo much <3 idk how to repay you for that
i didn't even see the REPAIR PHONE link before.
^^ i'm so darn happy my phone's back.
Wellcome to the club boy!!!!!!!!
Are you ready to do it again?
hahahahaha
P.S.: The whole "Generall" section is filled with the same topics...
Thanks, but now, the software won't download at all.
As we speak, i constantly get this:
Unable to download your phone software.
Please check your internet connection or try again later.
and my internet connection doesn't lose itself at all

Umm, try re-installing pc companion. Before i tried flashing all this custom stuff on my phone, me, being a curious idiot, played around with the x8 and dicovered SE had already put pc companion in my phone, all i had to do was install it in the autorun menu. Also, try rebooting yr modem. It may be a long shot but hey, you'd never know...

I'm also newbie(maybe a stupid suggestion) , but do you have phone drivers on your computer ?
Pc Companion should just work. Did you try it on a different computer?
Why don't you try simple update application instead of pc companion.you can download that from http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1294043165/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.1.9.exe .hope this will solve your problem.

rooting means different from installing unsigned application. rooting just uncap the protected hardware and full access to user about all the feature and system file.if you want instruction just follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920236
If you don't know what is root - you don't need it.
Hello there!
I got a display problem with my x8 Yesterday it was all good, but this morning my x8 got "black" screen.. like its damaged.. It not really black, more like "darker" screen, i can only see white letters..cant play games or anything because of that darkness.. Is there any app or something to fix this? If i understood correctly, some guys have same problem but on HTC etc.. not on x8, its something about voltage?!.. Please help me out!
PS: Sorry if there was a similar thread as mine, i used search but like i said, none of topics are for xperia x8!
Need more info.. That happens only when you are using the phone, or when you go to xrecovery/boot your phone too?
Try to adjust brightness, if that cannot help, reflash fw with SEUS

+1. The least one can do is put in some effort...
Anyhow, it surprises me someone decides to flash a custom rom, without even doing some research...
But yeah. Download the right SBF, download RSD and start flashing. Your Milestone 2 will get it's life back (assuming you've executed the whole process correctly...)

[Q] after trying to delete main google account my phone stuck on "droid" screen
I just wanted to change the main google account to enter the market. I just made a little search and I sth. says that "open root explore, go data=> system => find accounts.db and rename it accounts.db.bak" I've that this and nothing changed. Another one was saying "Go Applications=>Manage Applications google apps clear" I've done it too but no difference again. then I see this vid /watch?v=aFinbsXqTE0, system=> framework => rename framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak" but after the "force close" the phone reset itself and stuck on "droid" screen.
somebody tell me what to do, please

Are u on stock or custom ROM ? But most likely you would have to hard reset phone or reflash(i must reflash,hard reset doesnt work it stucks like yours)

Part of the forums rules is not to use foul language by the way, I don't care but some people might so you should refrain from doing so.
As for your problem, you will probably have to follow the above post's advice. I don't understand why you couldn't have just changed the account through the market? Why bother with root explorer and deleting/renaming potentially crucial files? Makes no sense.
Finally, I got some answers! I feel like I'm in Fringe or sth.

-story time
My phone came from Germany and I live in Turkey. There are so many taxes and prices are higher and higher.

I remember that it was firstly opening as windows m. (white back, green front) and then turns a screen that loads android and keeps going. I guess that means ROM. how do we do hard reset? or reflash? thanks.

Then sorry for the word. I hope that It wouldn't be problem for the admin. actually in the subtitles of the movies, they translate it as "hell", "damn" or etc.
-story again
I used it with my simcard at the first week when I get my phone and entered the market with a HTC sense account. But after the first week my damn operator closed the my phone to calling because of I haven't registered it yet with a passport. Then I have to use it without the card until I find a passport and when I took off the simcard the HTC sense passed away and when I tried to open market it asked me the password of the account and I had no idea about it.

Download the HD2 NAND toolkit, boot your phone into bootloader, connect USB to computer and run a Task29. This will clear everything from your phone. From here you can flash radio, magldr, cwm and ROM as normal

I've just done the work with the toolkit! but it doesn't seems like I've done it with the phone. It's showing me the white screen with green htc sign since a few minutes. I don't know if I have to do sth. else

Well in that case in the stickies there are many other guides. And also he's right Flashing WinMo first may be of benefit
