Exclamation W8 Stock ROM

Hi, my friend owns a W8. He want to use GingerDX but he wants to do everything by himself. So I guided him online, but now he has a problem. His phone is stucked at the Sony Ericsson logo. I have no choice but to call him to go to my place and do it for him. I have no idea what to do as I never did it on W8. W8 is the same as X8 right? So what do I do now?

What I have thought is relock the bootloader and flash back to stock ROM, but the thing is, I can't find any.

Any clues guys? Thanks!

You don't need to find any W8 ROM, just take his phone while he don't notices it. Then use PC Companion at home. When you find him next day, tell him that you found his phone on the floor or somewhere else. This is your plan!

Lol. I told him I might have to wipe his phone. All he cares is his Drag Racing filesave. Well, PC Companion is my only choice huh.

Anyway, anyone got LinuxDX working on their W8?

yeah i do. first i have big problem in my W8 because i flash it into linuxDX and my network dont have any signal at all.. it was like 3 days of no network at all! well i figure it out when i try to read and summaries all the threads i found which is related to flashing and unlocking bootloader... now im enjoying my W8 with gingerDX v017 with LinuxDX, dont have any problem with it since i've done lot of trail and error basis to my phone.. risky but you will gain something from it..

Backup apps using titanium backup, then restore after you installed other rom.
