Use pc companium
Take battery out. Plug in usb to phone and pc. Then select repair phone and select your device and when it says connect your phone put battery back and keep pressing the back button until it connects

It didn't come out any 'repair phone' button. Why?

Trying x10 PCC. Hope it work. BTW is x10 slightly similar with x8? I'm kinda blur about this.

X8 not booting

Hello,
I just broke my SE X8 after attempt of installing MiniCM7.
Basically, after removing battery to make my phone shut down, then starting it, all I get is "Sony Erricson" logo and nothing further, everything stops at "Sony Erricson" logo, I tried pressing "Back" to enter xRecovery and do system restore to fix everything, but I can't even get into xRecovery.
Please assist!

Did you ...
a) ... even read the 1st post in the MiniCM7 dev thread?
b) ... unlock your bootloader (WARNING! You may hard brick your phone when it's in a certain manufacturing date range) and install the required kernel?
From the symptoms you describe it doesn't seem that way.
Also (it's just being posted several hundred times) ...
XRECOVERY DOES NOT WORK ON CUSTOM KERNELS!
EDIT: I already posted how to resolve the problem HERE

Options for fixing?

See the edit in the 2nd post.

Thanks for answer!
How do I enable USB connetion if I can't get till it?

You don't need to enable "USB-Debugging"
Depending on which way you choose you ...
EDIT
a) ... need to unlock the boot loader through the required tools with the phone being in Flash-Mode
b) ... need to Flash the Kernel through Flashtool with the phone being in Flash-Mode
c) ... need to restore Stock 2.1.1 through Flashtool with the phone being in Flash-Mode
"Flash Mode" means:
- Turn the phone OFF!
- DISCONNECT the USB cable FROM your computer
- Launch Flashtool
- Select the file you want to flash
- Once Flashtool requests you to you press the Back button and KEEP IT PRESSED while you plug the USB cable into the computer.
This has nothing to do with "USB-Debugging".

Perfect!
Managed everything trough
"c) ... need to restore Stock 2.1.1 through Flashtool with the phone being in Flash-Mode"
Thank you very much!

Yes. Use pcc or flash back to stock using flashtool. Lots of threads here to help you out. Search.

you need to flash kernal and then flash rom.i suggest you download sony ericsson x8 stock kernal and stock rom first.then download sony ericsson flashing tool.open flash tool directory and open firmwares folder and paste stock kernal and stock firmware(.ftf).now open flashtool and select flash and select kernal,now a dialog will appear saying to press back button of ur xd,press back button and connect ur usb to phone(dont stop pressing back unless percentage is shown),done.now do it again with firmware

[Q] X8 on restart loop (up to the SE logo)

Hey guys,
First off, from a xda noob, that video you have to see at registration - genius.
Second, to get down to business, I have this stupid X8 (11W48, if it means anything to you) that has been giving me trouble since I got it.
It restarted itself randomly, which was not that big a deal until it started happening every hour or so,
then it started giving me errors all the time (I couldn't in any way enter my settings, force closes it),
and now finally, after trying the button combinations to force a factory reset, it's on constant loop, booting up to the logo and then restarting itself over and over and over again.
I never actually did anything to it, except for the usual apps from the market and stuff, so I guess that wouldn't cause the issue.
Now I don't quite know what to do. I can't go for PCC or Flashtool, really, cause I've tried - it tells me it recognizes the device (provided it doesn't restart right away and kill the connection) but the debugging mode or something is not turned on.
How the duck can I factory reset it? Or fix it at all?
And yes, I've tried searching, but I haven't come across a problem like this.
Please don't tell me to send it to Sony or something :crying:
Thanks

Hey,
Unfortunately I think you've a damaged x8..
I'd send to sony cause there is nothing you can do in the condition it's in. You need usb debugging on to attempt to fix it.
Maybe remove battery for an hour or so. Let the phone go cold inside.
You might get into settings upon reboot.
Good luck!!

Use flashtool....
You don't need to turn on your phone for that...

don't be panic at this moments, your X8 is just Softbricked Okay! just SOFT.
if it still shows the Sony Ericsson logo,Still vibrate when turn on-its fine.
you need to use PC companion correctly and properly to get the
PC companion recognize your X8
note:-if you have PCC before and used hardly with your X8,PCC may not work properly in repairing our phone
so,
-uninstall completely your PC companion(restart)
-clean Registry and other left over pieces of the PC companion files(Restart)
-download a fresh copy of PC companion here:http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
-install it and restart
-open PC companion and go to the support Zone(wait it to download approx 2mb)
-and click software update on it
-and then click repair my phone.
Note:the firmware and the updating tool download may take as long as half hour depending on your Internet Speed
that's all, just follow the step on screen just tick tick tick and do what its says.
after that select your X8 if its in the list and its says you need to
plug in your device while holding back button.just do it.and you can see some magic automatically on your PC screen.
after finished unplug your device and turn it on. you will back to original pure 2.1 SE skinned android.
IF YOU HATE DOING THE PROCEDURE AT THE TOP!!!
go to http://androxyde.github.com/
download the flash tool and install it.
you need to download Original X8's firmware you can find in Gogeta's signature
you need to put the X8 firmware in the C:/Flashtool/firmwares/drop it here
open flash tool and click the Flash button and it pop-up with default flash mode just click OK
and it shows a window with 2 firmware with included X10 firmware and the X8 firmware that
you dropped in select X8 carefully and don't click anything just click OK
after you clicked OK you will see couple of logs in the screen and says
preparing files for flashing and after seconds it says you need to
connect your device. and do the on screen procedure,
after it detect the device,MAGIC will happen in your PC screen.
that's all simple procedure.
Requirements:
cool head and clear aye.

I went for the Flashtool way - it worked! Thank you so much!

so that why i say don't be so panic or stressed when doing this type of job.
use Flashtool the way it should be and don't play with it too much!
maybe you will hardbrick your X8 if flash non-X8 firmwares...
use Flashtool when necessarily needed.

[Q] Can't flash & maybe (soft?)bricked

Hello. I've had an X8 for a while, and I got tired of the MiniCM9 and wanted to go back to Eclair. So I downloaded an original firmware (my backups are lost in a damaged computer), got the last Flashtool and installed the " X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.ftf " to my phone. But, now it only loads the Sony Ericsson screen and nothing else. I tried to flash it again several times, but I don't seem to be able to get into flash mode. I press the Back button while connecting, but nothing happens (until I release it, which is when the SE logo loads).
My phone is still responding to the charger and charging the battery with USB, but I can't do anything else.

try repairing using pcc or seus.

Both PC Companion and SEUS require me to press Back while connecting USB (flash) to proceed.

Follow the steps from here. Also download the correct .ftf file(2.1.1.A.0.6), not the baseband ftf file.

Sony xperia sp c5306 hard reset

Hello all!
Ok so i just got my daughter the c5306 sp on virgin about 2 weeks ago. Her friend decides to show her the mcafee app and inputs a fake email and pin.
the phone is now LOCKED!
Literally can't do anything NOR can i find a hard reset option. i tried several key combination hoping for android recovery but NADA!
And the pc companion, useless in this situation as it needs me to unlock the phone for it to work... oh and that reset button on the back... crud!
any help, anyone know how to get to android recovery?
any help is much appreciated

the sony xperia range don't have a stock recovery built in unless cwm recovery was installed and rooted before your daughter was shown/given the phone.
If it was try shutting phone down then restart and start pressing (repeatedly) vol down to enter recovery but this will only help if a backup was made which you can restore if no backup exists you to follow the next step.
If not you need to shut down phone then either use sus,PCC,flashtools to reflash the phone.
I would recommend flashtools and find the ftf you need on Sp forum then use this to get phone back working

So SP forums and get stock tft to flash with flash tools? Ok I'll try to get ahold of it! Thank you

You can find the stock .ftf files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
You download and open flashtool (from here depending on your PC OS :http://flashtool.net/ )
Shut your phone down
From flashtool press the lighning button
Then select flashmode and press ok
Select the .245.ftf file (its the latest kernel released by Sony that you downloaded from the link above)
And then press flash
then it will open a new window showing a phones a usb cable and a back button
With your phone powered down you hold the "Volume Down" button down and while holding plug the Usb cable to your phone
It will take some time flashing the data and then it will say "Phone Connected in flashmode"
Disconect and boot the phone
This procces could Hard brick your phone so be careful and follow the steps!!!
If you are not willing to take the chance just do it with SUS
open it then go to update phone/tablet
fix phone/tablet and follow the instructions on the screen
But it will be ok i flashed kernel 4 times to my phone (for rooting it)
Good Luck

you can use SUS to reflash the fimware
