Nobody has seen it.
It's a sony's principle - X8 owners are treated as lowlifes.
Thats why mine is for sale now, enough Sony-Erics****.
Got myself ZTE Blade and its PERFECT !
No bootloader lock, great screen, no erics**** at all !
And price ? cheaper than x8.
how to update? SE is big poo
PC companion says there's no update available, so i guess it'll take a few days to roll out.
It says to me that there's no new update. But I'm from Bulgaria, so probably i will get it in the end of december (i hope).
Anyone tried it? What are the updates?

Someone could link me stock kernel for the x 8? I didn't find it !! If i restore the x8 it with sony ericsson tool will bel flashe also the kernel ?
Yup, SEUS restores original kernel too. (Kernel is still "just some files" like roms)
Sent from my heart using a brain )
i thought that SEUS no longer works for x8.
p/s
if i want to relock bootloader, i just click restore in s1Tools right..?

SEUS is still working with x8, the catch is that you can't download it fron SE's X8 site, so download it from another phone's SE page (x8 will be in SEUS' list, so don't worry.)

Hello!!
I'm a new user of Android and a couple of months ago I bought the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8.
THE CONTEXT:
I tried to upgrade my phone, rooting it and installing Android 2.3.7 (GingerXperiaV12) following a guide I found in youtube
After doing those steps yesterday, it worked fine.
I put to charge the battery all night, and this morning when I start the phone there was a message error telling about an error in Launcher Pro. I ignore it, and press continue so I don't remember very well what it said exactly (but it wasn't a long text, it pretty much said only that). Well, since the phone worked I didn't pay attention so I used WIFI and tried to install some apps like Skype, Barcode Reader or some Japanese Keyboard Input (like: google japanese input). The problem came when I tried to reboot the phone.
THE PROBLEM:
After pressing the center bottom and selecting "restart", the phone completly freezes when the text "Sony Ericsson" come out in the black screen. I can't access to the OS at all.
WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM:
I tried waiting several minutes and extract the battery to reboot and try again, but it still freezes when the "Sony Ericsson" come out.
I tried accesing to the xRecovery (which I installed in order to root the phone), pressing several times back botton, but it doesn't work either.
Please can someone give me a help with this? I have read somewhere I might try installing the launcher again. Do you think that is the solution? Is it possible?
Thanks for advance
hello my friend .. i dont know about ur problem but for me launcher pro really sux and i didnt like it at all .. if u want a good launcher then download (Go launcher EX) from market .. and yeah also if u want good roms , i mean the best for x8 u have to use GingerDX or nAa minicm7 2.1.7 , u will find these roms in the dev. section . if u want my opinion about them i prefer nAa cause it is very smooth and perfect dual touch here the link .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19691591
just follow the steps and read everythink and do it at ur own risk . welcome to the x8 forum and have a nice day .

Hello Acudor.
Thanks for the reply and for the recommendation.
Unfortunately until I don't solve this problem, my cellphone won't work to try that.
ok from what i understood from ur post is that u cant even access recovery and cant access the phone either right ? .. well that means the phone is bricked , and dont worry it happened to me 2 times before , well u can rescue ur phone , just go to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12442257
follow the steps and ur phone will be back for u .. the reason for ur phone to brick was the rom u used my phone bricked when i used gingerxperia too , but now iam using nAa rom and kernel for 2 months now and never encountered a problem . dont worry again about the brick , it happens

Just use PC comapnion from SE and repair you phone....and after that root your phone again and install rom( for rooting and cwm the best tool is x8toolbox)
Ok
Thanks for the replies. Thanks god I could make it works!
Just a couple of notes:
1.- The only way to access to the Xperia x8 was via flashing it.
2.- PC Companion didn't work at all. Even when I could access to the phone via flash, at last PCC gave a error message saying that there weren't any update to install. It seems SE doesn't support this phone yet lol
3.- What worked efectively was Flashtool (second option in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12442257)
But the ROMs listed in step 2 of that guide (X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf, X8_1.6_clear.ftf, X8_2.0.2_China.ftf, SE x8_2.1_rus.ftf) didn't seems to work to me. So instead of those, I searched and put into the "firmware" folder of Flashtool this oficial ROM:
http://www.multiupload.com/VKNI6Q6ET5
that I found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454954
What I'd like to ask now, just to not have the same problem again is, should I go for nAa for my Xperia X8?
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350484
It seems difficult breaking bootloader for a noob like me though xDD
You can use GDX without any problem with stock kernel. So, its not mandatory to open bootloader but its recommended if you want to try CM9 based roms.
If you try to open bootloader, please go through the threads on xda and make sure that its safe to open it. Some phones are not safe to open and you may get your phone bricked. Please check the number behind your battery on the phone and make sure from xda if its safe. Also s1tool tells if its safe or not.
Hello!
Well, thanks for your support I could revive my phone!!! And now I could install the nAa ROM!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!
If it's possible I'd like to ask the last question, I've tried to install from Market an application for writting japanese keyboard: Japanese IME Kaede v3
[http:]//es.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/japanese-ime-kaede-ime-v3_dvn(dot)html
But the Market say "This device is not compatible with this element"
Is it possible? I mean, the official firmware I was using before trying to install this custom ROM allowed me to use it without any problem.
Have you ever got a message like this? Have I got to do something?
Thanks again

Your problem wasn't the launcher it was that you did something wrong while installing it that caused you to brick it. Always remember to factory reset your phone before and after flashing a rom just to be safe and to avoid errors.
GingerXperia V12 is quite old, go for V19 or V21b those are quite alot faster and worked really good for me, they also come with the Sony arc launcher so that's good. You also don't need to unlock your bootloader for those roms.

hi
i have some problems with this app
win 8 pro x64 optimus l3 e400
it says "phone was not found"
is there any other way to unbrand this phone?
i flashed a cm9 but there are a lot of glitches and my sim is not working
the dev section is quite confusing and there is no tuto for this phone
thanks
Do you have a nandroid backup if so restore it to get back to stock /try kdz on another pc / install win xp and try kdz / tell us glitches you are facing in cm9 so that we may try to give you solutions

No backup because noone wrote about the unbrand(this is not my phone) and there is no brand the box but the official rom was branded vodafone
I only have win 8 ubuntu and mac os
I don t have a pc or an hdd to install win xp
The cm9 cannot use the sim, no mobile data, no calls or sms etc..
The words are not readable, the colors are wrong and dark
Do you think that lg can do the unbrand for me? Lol (the lg support)
try rebooting your phone in emergency mode - hold both volume buttons and the power button. A yellow screen will poup up

The WLODs can be greatly reduced if you flash the CM10.1 kernel.
has anyone found that the signal display is incorrect? even the signal is good but the icon in status bar always low
I found that the WLODs decreased a lot after I disabled seeder.
Edit: Not a single WLOD after 12 hours

"Sony Mobile Flasher By Androxyde (flashtool-0.9.13.0-windows.exe)" This is what i use to root the phone its easy search around in this forums u will find video and notes.
EDIT:
I Just used this AOSP JB 4.2.2 ROM for my Xperia x10i and its fun, but after the flashing part its asking for drivers all the flash tool is asking for drivers all time it cant be found.
