XPERIA X8 boot problem

I installed ICS on my XPERIA X8 and it freezes at boot. And I cannot go to recovery mode, where is my backup. I know I need to use FlashTool but I don't know how to use it, because it says:
03/021/2012 15:21:18 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

03/021/2012 15:21:53 - INFO - Device disconnected
And I cannot flash the original image.
Hot to connect the phone?
With " Press and hold back button then plug in the usb cable"?
Now I can flash it but it isn't reboot just say device disconnected, then device connected in flash mode, then device disconnected, then flashing aborted

nearly the same problem here trying to unlock the bootloader on my E15i.
Would appreciate if anyone has a suggestion how to overcome this.Thanks

Try this

IF you have stock ROM for X8, you can flash with flash tool..
the first, hold volume down in your phone and plug usb kabel to computer..
see your phone have green light, its flash mode.. )
and then go to flash tool, and all its works..

.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

What?! First of all - not volume down but BACK button.
In flashtool directory You will have drivers folder. Install those drivers. Then reboot Your PC. Copy Your firmware package into firmwares in flashtool directory (.ftf files). Than run flashtool, click on flash, choose the package, click ok, flashtool will aks You to connect Your phone in flash mode. Plug USB cable into PC. Plug in USB cable into phone and while doing this You must hold back button. And flashtool should recognize Your device and start flashing.

Thank you! You saved my phone's life!
I'm trying GingerDX now, and I making an ''XPERIA X8 MEGAPACK''

Anyway, I do not know why this is:
When I first installed gingerDX i have installed many apps. And when I'll removed this backup, and I installed this rom again, the phone freezes at the boot screen.
(I know how to do it. I flashed the stock rom from my backup, and It is working. But I cannot make a backup from this rom

Because You should do a full wipe When You install ROM again there are some files from old one. And this may cause boot problem

Hi, I've tried this but it doesn't work. My phone just keeps rebooting itself after SE logo animation is done. What can i do?

Boot prroblem ICS
I've tried ICS for stock kernel, but it isn't boot! But i want to try it!

Dude... just flash a stock SE rom via Flashtool and its done
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium

Generally speaking, bootloops imply you are missing the x15 Baseband required for custom ROMs to work: Follow the mediafire link in B.Jay's profile and find the x15 Baseband corresponding to your X8 version (It's in the sticker under the battery)... Hope this helps.
EDIT: Update your FlashTool Version!!!! http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/

X8 Can't boot to flashmode

Hi guys, i don't know what happened but since the last time i flashed kernel, i can't boot to flashmode anymore.. I'm using nAa ICS 2 kernel and MiniCM9 3.0.1 by nAa.. I want to flash to nAa-ics-3 and then update to 3.0.2 but can't boot my phone to flashmode.. It just doesn't respond while I'm holding the back button.. Tried installing the LATEST version of flashtool, tried removing and reinstalling usb drivers, rebooting pc several times but nothing helps.
Flash tool just says that the phone is connected but usb debugging is off.. But when i boot it back into normal state, debugging is on, kernel and software is recognized and everything is working as it should..

Had the same problem using the latest version of FlashTool!
I then tried v 0.6.9.1 and it worked flawlessly, so try this version!

Still nothing.. Here's the output from the FlashTool

I just can't figure it out.. :/

1 disconnect your device
2 in flashtool click on the flash icon -> flashmode -> select what you want to flash -> click ok
3 flashtool will say you to connect the phone while holding down the back key. do it
you need to connect the phone after flashtool says so, not before (according to the log, you connected the phone and then choosed file to flash)

Put on the stock rom (the one we get from the Sony) or backup u have of your stock rom.. then try to flash it..
You can get stock rom by using PC companion and update o repair or a ftf file from our own XDA...:thumbup:

Still doesn't work.. I'm holding the back button while the phone is off and while I'm connecting the charger.. And still won't boot to flashmode.. And, as soon as i let go of the back button, the phone starts charging itself..
@sidhart
I'll try that on a weekend.. Now I'm afraid not to brick it xD i need it for work during the week.. If i brick it on a weekend, i will be able to buy a new one on time.. :/

Is your phone recognized by the PCC when you connect it?
Sent from my W8

Same thing happened with me the debugging was not detected when I first tried to unlock bootloader so I went back to the W8 stock rom and then it worked properly...
Try it only when there is no other way out...
Sent from my W8

Use SUES to revert back to stock rom/kernel and reflash from there. Also had this problem a few months back changing kernels.

With nAa and Alfs for cm7 kernels u dont have to hold back button it boots to flash mode automaticly when powered off and u plug the cable.

@sidhart The phone is recognized by PCC but as X10 not X8 xDDD So I'm afaid to revert to stock flash/kernel over PCC..
@Pipi14 I'm using nAa ICS kernel ( 02 ) for CM9, you think it might be the same?

Try reinstaling the rom cm9 using cwm then it might work properly..
Dont forget factory reset and wipe data cache..

Yeah i have used nAa kernel from the beginning and all his kernels automaticly boot in to flashmode when turned off and plugging the cable. I used MiniCm9 3.0.2 for two days reverted back to MiniCm7 2.2.0 cuz Its kinda slow for me still. But maybe next release of MiniCm9 will be my daily rom.
Hit thanx if i helped.

OMG i didn't knew this.. It did work I've flashed the new kernel sucessfully Thanks a lot

do you have unlocked bootloader?
Sent from my X8 using xda app-developers app

is the bootloader unlocked???
enable usb debugging, and try again.
if it didnt work out, use another computer.

pretty much sure that your bootloader is not unlocked.
"First of all I had GingerDX. Then I open recovery selected system/ and etc. all format, also full wipe. Then my phone turning on and only show Sony Ericsson. "
it gets stuck at sony logo because you formatted the system.. there is no rom to boot

Yes.
Now I have second problem:

X8 flashing problems
Hey I will tell you what to do.
First of all install Sony Ericsson Update Service or SEUS. Just Google it and you can find it easily!
Now connect your phone to your computer via USB cable.
Start SEUS.
Then follow the on-screen instructions.(You will be asked to select your phone model,update or repair your phone etc)But its easy!!!!!
Then leave the rest to SEUS.
It will first repair your phone,then download the stock rom and kernel and also the baseband and will automatically install them.
After that you will have your X8 on stock rom,it will be updated to the latest baseband and kernel.
Now you will be able to comfortably restart your phone and you can install custom roms from here!!!!!
Don't forget to say THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another kernel was installed with no errors. Why CM not install, but JB install?

1. Download "C5303_12.1.A.1.207_AU.ftf" (Stock firmware) from here
2. Take of your back cover.
3. Open Flashtool (I expect you to have the Xperia SP drivers installed).
4. Turn off your phone by taking a pen and pressing the "off" hole and wait until it has vibrated 3x.
5. Press volume up (to get into flash mode) and connect your USB cable to the computer and wait until you get a green light.
6. Click on the flash icon in Flashtool and select flash mode. Now select the folder "Downloads" and select the "C5303_12.1.A.1.207_AU.ftf" file you have downloaded and wait 5-10 minutes.

hi, thx for advice.
I've done it and still does not work.
today i try again with charge and flashing my xperia.

You need to install drivers again. They seem to be broken. Are you using Windows 8.1??
If yes, then disable driver signature verification and then install the drivers again.

If your device vibrates and/or shows a Sony logo, your device isn't bricked. This guide is also for you, @TMates | PLEASE FOLLOW SLOWLY ALONG

Debugging mode is only for a phone in turned on state.
When you flash the device you do it in Flashmode which has nothing to do with debugging mode on or off.
Just press the "Flash" button.
Select firmware from list.
Press OK, and go into Flashmode.

Hi, did you solve the problem. Because I have exactly the same problem with you.

softbricked z3c

hi!
first off all thank you all for contributing to this forum, you guys really rule!
i have a problem....
as the title say i softbricked my z3 compact trying to flash MM on it.
i forgot to click the "allow unknown sources" on the phone before he procedure
i know, i`m stupid. my bad
but now when i tried to flash even stock kitkat on it the flashtool errors in one moment sayin "for flashtool unknown sources has to be enabled"
going thru the forum i saw a thread about the usb debugging mode
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778437
he fixed it with using an older version of flashtool, but when i install an older version it asks to connect by pressing the back button not the volume down to enable flashing mode...
so i have 2 questions...
is there a way to flash without having the unknown sources on?
i installed the adb all-in-one but not successful to implement the command using the terminal
how to enable flashmode by using an older version when i dont have a back button? (its not arc s )

1. You don't need unknown sources enabled to flash
2. To flash hold down the volume down button while plugging your phone into the computer

Do you have the the Sony drivers installed?
Did you install the ADB drivers (run the exe in the drivers folder within Flashtool folder). If you have Windows 10 this last step is difficult, you have to restart the machine in safe mode and disable driver signature checking.
You must have your phone turned off completely before you start (power button and volume up till you get three vibrations), leave it unplugged from the PC
Start flashtool and select which ftf you want to use, Exclude TA, press build. wait for the invitation from flashtool to plug your phone in. Then hold the volume down as you insert the usb plug, you can let go as soon as it starts doing something
There is a guide to the flashtool here, beware it's a powerful tool capable of bricking your phone
