PLEASE HELP ! Phone bricked? - XPERIA X8 General

Hey guys.
my phone : E15i , baseband xx015, 2.1.1.A.0.6, rooted, xrecovery 1.1, tried out some custom roms by racht, works perfectly, currently using stock rom.
before rooting, papago! (gps app) works on my phone perfectly,
now, satellite search doesnt work, cannot locate my position, cannot navigate,
so i used xrecovery and did factory reset, format system, wipe cache, (idk what they do, i thought it is just clearing all stuffs in my phone)
now, the phone just stucks at "Sony Ericsson", is it bricked? solutions?

You should not Do "FORMAT SYSTEM".
Now you lost your firmware/Rom from your Phone. So its soft bricked.
Solution: Use PC Companion And open support Zone and repair software.

Or seus you can instal some other Rom,just transfer to you sd card(mount on xrecovery)

Yoo man, use PC COMPANION and update your phone to 2.1.C.O... or UPDATE SERVICE or flash 2.1.C.O... with flashtool. And again root your phone!

black screen after kies flash

i've just tried upgrading to the new froyo build through kies, but on completion my phone will not turn back on. All i am getting is black screen with random vibrations. I can get into download mode though. Anyone have a link to jf3 or jm1 original firmwares so i can flash back via odin then try kies again?
Go to recovery (volup+home+power) wipe data/factory reset and it will work, happened to me also.

man I cant stress this enough.. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!! After this happened to me I was ready to 1) give up, 2) try to reflash with odin 3) try something even more crazy..
and you saved my but ! I did as you said and it just started up perfectly ! Now I have froyo, all my data, and dont have to reflash or anything !
I just have one question if I may please !
I had a lagfix installed and I didnt disable it before I did the flashing, so do I still have it or what ? Because I didnt loose any data but the applications that I had instaled are not showed anymore.. which bugs me because Ill have to clean up and redo everything.. but at least Ill have a clean phone )
thanks again man !
You need to dis able lag fix before updating or anything

of course I know that now , the issue with my situation would be that after I got it working (did what BaalBehrit said) the phone would boot up normaly, but all apps including of course One-click Lag fix were still there but didn't show as installed apps, nor had they any icons for that matter. Therefore disabling it before second flash was virtualy imposible.
What I did was simple. I backed all my data to my computer and then just formated both SD cards - that probably took care of the lagfix, after that, I did the flash again and everything run smoothly.
but you're right I have to remember for next time

[Q] market is unfortunately stopped on 2.2.1

Hello everyone
I've got a strange problem with the latest 2.2.1. The market is unfortunately stopped if i open him. I've got a replacement but i really want the normal app working. Why happens this and what should i do? Flash it again? Cause things like the clear cache and updates doesn't work.
thanks in advance
Maybe a hard reset, will work?
Joost
1) don't know how to do on 2.2.1
2) i don't think it should work, because it was after the last update and my friend has the same problem
Go in recovery. Wipe user data.

Ehm, maybe this sounds strange but i'm bricking my phone over now.
1) All the apps i instal (not with the market :S), are installing for a long, long time. After a few minutes if i start my phone and look in my launcher, there isn't a sing that the app is installed. And if i look in the settings, i see nothing.
2) The market doesn't work.
3) After i update my phone, my whole recovery was gone. So if i open fastboot or something i see a black screen.
So is there a way to get it reset? HELP ME!!
I think this needs a reflash.

[q] freakin weird-no app install on any custom roms..

I. I ve flashed my phone more than 50 times. Last Rom I tried was x 8 arc, and before I had minicm.. all worked fine..suddenly withx 8arc rom it stopped installing apps and when I try to go to settings -applications, it shows me every app but they all say computing and never shows the size of them. I try installing any apps but the installation bar continues endlessly. I repaired the phone back to SE Original and that way I can install apps and it shows me the size of them. I root it again installed minicm, new froyo 0. 20 and it happens the same.... no app install and always "computing" on application manager.. its really weird and i ve tried erasing everything on xrecovery and still nothing... anyone???
why you flashing ROM 50 times?? This is not good for your phone, you shoud format data and system and also cache in xRecovery and than repair with SEUS or PC Companion to get fresh 2.1 and root your phone and put xRecovery and CHOOSE a good ROM for your requirements, so you do not need to flash your phone with different ROM and brick your phone...
Did you try a wipe dalvik cache form xrecovery and did not solve app install issue ?

Yes my friend, I tried everything, factory reset before and after installing ROM, wipe cache partition, wipe battery stats and the rest. I went back to SE 2 times in a few hours and I then can install apps.. tried minicm, new froyo and still can't install apps and in in application manager (settings) they never stop "computing" and I when I try installing apps the installation bar goes on forever. I'm really puzzled and I can't figure out any solution since I went back to SE and tried it all over with no results.. f **k!!!!

are you using BaseBand 015? You must use 015 because 006 is buggy on custom roms...if you don't know what an X8's baseband is, XDA's search bar is your friend
I have a problem with custom roms too, except cm7, thats the only one that works good for me. After i install any other rom, i cant acces internet for some reason... I have baseband 015.

I don't know if you can access xRecovery if you're phone is unrooted.. Anyway you said you can still access xRecovery then revert to your latest backup

If xRec was previously installed then he can. Don't misguide. Rooting has nothing to do with boothack.
As for rooting - try Flashrool root option. Or reflash the ROM.
As for the problem with booting froyobread - reinstall, full wipe.

[Q] Kuyadroid freezed

Hi guys,
I have a Xperia X8 on which I installed kuyadroid v3.2.175.
All worked fine until I tried to reinstall busybox. I made a mistake and removed /system/bin/busybox, another busybox is installed under xbin.
when rebooted the phone freezed at the 'sony ericsson' logo.
It seems there's non way to access xrecovery.
There's any way to have my phone back?
Please help!!

use pc companion to repair your phone and then root again. there's loads of info on this site and some step by step guides too. search for the thread "How to rescue our bricked x8" for all info, hope you get it sorted.
Thank you so much!!
You saved me.
I'll check immediately the thread you said.

Great. Sorry i didnt include the link, i was leaving work and didnt have time to find that thread. Btw i dont think busybox needs updating, i still have the same version since i rooted a few months ago and all roms work as they should.
