Turn the power off. If your Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Left and right buttons located beneath the display
Press and release the Power button
Follow the on-screen instructions to hard reset your Xperia X8

What can i do please.. I didnt haved any applications on it, i only want to get back to Sony Ericson rom when i buyed it.. :( How can i ? :( please

Try not to restore data if u flashing a new rom. Restoring data from different android version can cause such problem. Fresh install ur apps.

I have same problem twice before this. (coz change custom rom :D)

I use SEPC. But ur battery must have atleast 50%.

If ur battery already 0% (can't on anymore), u must charge ur X8 by PC.

Becoz when u charge by charger, battery still 0%.

So, just plugin ur X8 at PC and wait 2-3 hour.

Then open SEPC and follow the step 1 by 1.

Use SEUS

I know this is an old thread, but I was able to solve this issue yesterday. My symptom: the phone wouldn't start. It didn't even get to the Sony Ericsson logo. The only thing it did when I pressed the on/off button was vibrate.

In this state, all other suggestions here don't work, because they need a working phone. Even SE's PC Companion needs a working phone.

The solution is Sony Ericssons Update Service (SEUS). This is tricky, because SEUS is not an official download for this phone. However, if you go the SE's site and search for software for another non-android phone, you'll find it. I used the W910 phone.

Install it and just follow the instructions on the screen (basically, with the phone off, connect it to the USB cable while pressing the back key). It will install the official 2.1 android! You'll have a restored phone ready for 2.3 and beyond! :D

I tried Sony Ericsson PC Companion when my phone was stuck on bootscreen. In my case, a small dialog box came up in the right lower part of the screen which said "Your X8 is connected".

If this doesn't work; open PC Companion, klick on "Uppgrade your phone". Then choose "Restore your phone". Then follow the onscreen progress and your phone will be reseted and should work normaly.
Of course the phone has Android 2.1 :(

Firstly, read other forum's, @Denoo start a new thread.

The easiest way is to unlock with SEUS. How?
1. Download SEUS http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/mobilephones/downloads/subject/updateservice/elm?cc=hr&lc=hr (Click on download now, don't worry, it isn't just for Elm, it's for all phones)
2. Install & start SEUS and follow on-screen instructions - Turn off your phone, press and hold back button and put usb cabel in the phone (still pressing the back button), then when the download starts, stop pressing the back button.
3. When installation finishes, turn on your phone.

Note: On your phone is all data deleted after flashing this software. SEUS flashes original and clean firmwares, so you can still hold your warranty papers.

If SEUS update didn't work, then try flashing firmware with Flashtool. (Search in X8 Android development section this Guide).

Use PCC to repair and restore your phone to original SE stock ROM!

1) Connect the phone to your PC

2) Start your PCC, find the "repair" option, follow the instructions

3) When asked to hold the "back" button and plug in the USB cable, just to it and it will flash the original ROM for you.

4) When finish, follow the instruction to unplug your phone and reboot

5) END OF THE STORY!

you will lose all your data!
