Try flash other kernel like alfs or linuxDX,... to restore the recovery.
If it doesn't work, you can use WotanClient to find and flash stock ROM. Very easy to use

uSe SEUS/flashtool...
once i on my phone,
only appear sony ericsson for long time
after a few hours still same
u r still lucky!
use SEUS or PCC or FlashTool
u can use search button how to fix it..
my advice don't play with bootloader
it will kill your phone if u make a bit mistake
Download flashtool,
Download rom image- http://www.multiupload.com/XLV6AA41DB
Download baseband - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
Copy both rom image and baseband to firmwares folder of flashtool
First flash rom image and then baseband....
it's easy if u still have the SE logo
1.Download PC companion for x8
2.Dont connect your phone
3. Go support Zone
4.Go software update
5. click Repair phone
6.follow instructions ...
very simple ...
unlike me ...my phone is now dead brick ...i think theres no solution for me now ...just be careful when bootloading your phone , once you do it wrongly its dead brick have to be serviced ...

This method will install the original software on your X8!
If you have Sony PC Companion 2.1 on your PC, then uninstall it, and download and install Sony PC Companion 2.1, again! If not, then PC Companion might not recognize your phone. After installing do the following:
- Turn off the phone, and unplug it from the PC
- Turn on Sony PC Companion on your PC
- In PC Companion, enter the Support Zone tab
- Go to Update Phone Software
A window will pop out, saying that it cannot find your phone
- Click on Fix Phone
- Click on Continue
A window will pop out, saying that you will lose all your data
- TICK the BOX
- Click on continue
An update process will began.
Wait for it to show a window with all the SONY mobile phones
- Find your phone (X8)
- Click on the phone.
Now all you have to do is follow the on-screen instructions. It will tell you to hold the back button and plug your turned-off X8 to the PC, then it will erase everything, and download the original 2.1 ROM to your X8.
yes

thanks mate i will try it now
lol
It doesn't work it says that Pc companion was not able to connect to the device. I tried many things bu pc companion just cant connect my phone and windows keep saying that error that i am plugging unknown device which is a bull**** the day before it was working fine...
For all people who didnt understand iCANT ENTER IN FLASH MODE I MEAN I CAN BUT ITS NOT RECOGNISED so i cant update my software.
also
also flash tool in the console says that it cant determine what deviec i am plugging into and cant display what is busybox version or anything like i am putting an unknown device...
27/043/2012 15:43:10 - ERROR - Cannot identify your device. Found sh while expecting X10, E10, U20 or E15 (read from ro.product.model from build.prop)
Hey there, my phone isn't bricked...but I think I have too much data (possibly conflicting roms installed at the same time??) and I wish to reset my phone to its original status... I wish to re-install a ROM on it, but I want to start fresh again by removing the rooting programs or what have you..
Would following these steps put it all back to its original setting, also meaning that I could completely wipe the SD clean?
If so, would this mean I would have to re-root my X8? Not that it would be a problem but I would just like to know if it would be needed!
Thanks!

Yes do as the guy above said...No need to root your phone
Sorry, just to clarify - you mean I wouldn't need to go through the whole rooting process again after doing a full reset/wipe what have you? Thanks by the way

if you want to restore the stock rom (original androdi on xperia x8) with pc Comapnion than you dont need to root it again. But if you want to change it to custom rom and you have done full wipe i think you should root it again (rooting is done so taht you can change the busybox version of the phone and upload xrecovery if you have those you don't need to root)

Why don't you download the store Rom annd use Flashtool to flash it? Then you may be able to upgrade to latest revision with PCC.

Can I consequently delete Busybox? If it is a deleteable app that is!
use the update service

Yeah, I lost you somewhere... If after taking out the battery, you CAN NOT enter xrecovery or CWM, then, you either can try THIS THREAD <--- go on, click on it!, or, you have to do what I had to do a couple of times, which is to restore your X8 to its original state, and to do that with Sony PC Companion, you first have to UNINSTALL your current PC Companion!!! THEN, restart your PC, and install a clean version of Sony PC Companion 2.1!
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION of PC Companion, YOU STILL HAVE TO UNINSTALL IT, AND INSTALL IT AGAIN!!! IF YOU DON'T, THERE's a 99% CHANCE THAT PC COMPANION WILL NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE!!! ...I don't know why, but it's probably some marketing trick, since I once used this method 3 times in a row, then the fourth time PC Companion didn't recognize my X8. This happened on both, the old PC Companion, and the current Sony version 2.1. I tested them both on purpose, to eliminate the possibility that I damaged my X8's hardware somehow, during a high speed impact collision with the bedroom wall...
Once you reinstall Sony PC Companion 2.1, go back to my first post to your problem, and follow it step-by-step.
AND yes, if you want to install custom ROM's again, then you will have to ROOT your phone again, and UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER, etc...
BUT, if it's a soft-brick, then you might be able to redeem yourself
ViVA FIDELINO!
how about kernel?

>> how about kernel? for example your phone allready back to 2.1 rom and you are using custom kernel before i done this update? like kernel aA-11? is it possible to turn on phone even if im using custom kernel? please give me steps how to bring it back, because im currenty using mini cm7 / kernel aA-11, and i want to bring back my xperia x8 to original rom and kernel
Try downloading the stock rom and a diff version of flashtool. I can't remembet which version is most recommended (try searchibg xda - i read it here). install drivers in flashtool's driver folder (gordon's gate) then try again. Almost the same thing happened to me. PCC won't recognize my phone so I couldn't install the drivers.
X8 stuck at SE logo
I am facing same problem. I have been using GingerDX for long time wanted to change the ROM, however after I change the rom through Xrecovery. Phone restarted and stuck at SE logo.

The best way, if u still can't get on your phone , is take it to the SE Customer care. And don't tell a word about rooting or anything. Just ask them to repair the phone, saying that one morning, the SE logo kept on popping up.

Super Combo problem in my xperia x8.....

Well this is my first post here.
To be very short this is not a totally new problem. This is a combination of many problems that has made me totally helpless.
I had rooted my device using x8toolbox beta4, and installed a Gingerxperia V21 custom ROM.
After that i tried unlocking the bootloader, but flashtools continuously kept saying that my device was in MTP mode and strange enough there was no option in my phone's settings to change it.
So I went back to x8toolbox planning on installing the stock ROM back, when i saw busybox installer within.
I installed busybox 1.19.0 and then i asked x8toolbox to check the digitizer on my phone, AND THERE IT STARTED REBOOTING OVE AND OVER.
So now my phone can't connect to my pc for PCC repair or flashtools as MTP mode can't be switched off (and my phone won't turn on for the sd card to be read). And i am stuck with the Sony Ericsson Logo.
Please help me.....thanks in advance.
U have soft bricked your x8.
U can reset your x8 to original 2.1 with the help of following steps.
It's easy. Do it and rooted your phone again
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570523
Officially corp via W8
Or just try Flashtool
i think your problem is flashing driver.. try to install on /flashtool/drivers/ the name of drivers is gordon gate.. but if your have a same problem after installed drivers, check your drivers on my computer/drivers.. or try for flashing on other computer..

Thanks for your answer..... But as I said my phone is still in MTP mode and doesn't seem to snap out of it. As i plug in my phone it turns on the green light and then starts rebooting as usual. Is it my driver 's issue? or is it just the mtp mode?? flashtool also says the same thing..:crying:
U cant keep it longer.
Open flashtool then select firmware and ok.
Wait till a screen appear.
Now connect ur phone by holiding back button.

But flashtools shows ERROR and flashing aborted and says that for 2011 line devices make sure your device is not in mtp mode....
Flashtools doesn't work that way....

If the error getting further, Re-install Windows.
It can't be, 3 weeks ago I had the same problem (MTP) .
I can't even install Apps via flashtool, so I try to connect to flashmode.
It works.
As I said try to Re-install windows.
Good Luck.
