[Q] Flashtool - Flash Mode unstable (green light)

Dear,
I've tried almost everything, sry
The problem is simple.
I've an X8 with stock (FW 2.1-update1, Kernel 2.6.29 and Build 2.1.1.A.0.6) and I'm trying to put it on ICS with MiniCM9.
The first thing I did was Root with SuperOneClick. Don!
Second was turn off the phone and install Flashtool and Flashtool drivers also.
Third, I tried to turn the phone into Flash mode and... the phone do not stay in "flash mode". After some seconds the phone reboot and enter in a orange light, instead of the green one.
Follow below the log of Flashtool:

turn on usb debugging. go to settings then to applications, development and touch where it says USB debugging

usb debug are on
i've install superuser first and then i've tried to install the new kernel.
the problem is "stay in flash mode"
the point is: when i put the device in flash mode, it stays for 5 seconds or less and reboot

I was having the same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663775
I made two mistakes, i didn't reboot my pc after installing flashtool and my antivirus was activated. After having rebooting my pc and disabling my antivirus, the flashmode was working.

Hi Juliano i´m from Brasil too, but i don´t know if i can speak portuguese in the forum. But anyway i was having a problem more or less like yours, the problem was not really the light in the flashtool, but with the error when i tried to flash any kernel, the message is equal that you post in your log: ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR"ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS"ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed".
When you run the smc 7727 did you not have any error?Because when i run i have another error, where says that is not possible to gains acess route, but how? if the cel is rooted and the usb debuug was on too?

You need to unlock your bootloader then for example flash the nAa ics kernel via flashtool and install ROM via CWM.

If you look at the log you will see that your BL is still locked.

Ok, guess I misinterpreted then. How can I see it? Can I also see in this log of my X10 can be unlocked with flashtool? Or do I need another method for this?

You need stock rom 2.1 eclair for unlocking and not minicm6,flash stock rom and try again
If you don't want to unlock bootloader you can use custom roms that are for stock kernel.

oh yeah stamatis16 is right. you can unlock only on stock and if you are lucky maybe on gdx 13 but stock is the safer pick of the two.

Why are you trying to flash x10 kernel on x8?

ouch, damn, I did not notice that.
That is Very Good ....
Is there anything to do with that?

You must install on your pc Gordon's gate flash driver and after reebot your pc.Then pcc and flashtool will recognize it.

nope Gordon's gate flash driver do not work either.
Everything was working fine, until I accidently flashed X10 kernel.
Now, It not even react when I connect phone to PC.
I am worried that X10 kernel had sets some higger voltages , or something else what ruined some hardware.

does the phone not turn on or it just stays at se logo? If the phone wont turn on you have a dead boot and this must be repaired using Jtag.

nope. i have flashed X10 kernels sometimes.. it does nothing. a simple reflash works. if it does not detect them i reboot pc or reinstall drivers

Phone do not turn on.
I tried restarting PC, and reinstaling drivers, but I think that shoud not be problem, when I worked before.

Hello,
I would like to ask about possibility of bootlader unlock on my phone.

I want instal on my phone GingerDX
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486
I just get my phone X8 from repair service, where they repair it with JTAG and load new original ROM (Firmware).
And If I indentify phone in S1Tool I get NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK certificate.
But before repair SIMLOCK was recognized. And manufactured date on phone is 11W11.
Can I proceed with Bootunlock ? Or is there anything to do to get again simlock certificate recognized?
There is a screen from S1Tool

[Q] HELP:: Forgot to unlock bootloader and now stuck ??

hello guys . i have a xperia x8 e15i and i tried to install a custom rom. so it all went like this.
First i downlaoded gingerdx v.31 then rooted my phone,installed busybox,installed xrecovery,put gingerdx in my sd card,booted my phone into xrecovery made a backup of my rom cleared my cache installed gingerdx and hit reboot.
now my phone just stays on the SE logo and cant get into xrecovery. every time i put in the battery it just keeps on going into the SE logo and doesnt do anything.
I was thinking maybe i forgot to unlock bootloader but i cant really fix that now. all im thinking is how to get it back.
any suggestions ?

It's just a soft brick. You can repair it using pcc or simply flash stock rom via flashtool.

It's a soft brick. I have encountered it aswell. If you have PC companion you can install the Stock Eclair 2.1 back or flash it via Flashtool

thanks but i have tried to do it with pc companoin which wont let me cause it tells me to turn my phone on which i cant and when i try flash it with flash tool i cant find the right firmware :I

No dude. Just click on the support zone and some option will say Repair device or Upgrade software( I am not sure .. cant remember , you'll find it ) after that it will Download the Eclair 2.1 automatically and when it is downloaded it will ask you to hold some button and while holding that button ( I think its the back button ) connect the usb cable to your phone! your phone will show a green light and after that leave the job on the PC companion

solution
@dansei12
Nothing to worry, its just a soft brick , easy to fix.
You just need SONY PC COMPANION and your device with data cable.
Follow the steps in screenshot.
After the third step just follow instruction [SONY will show you the way ] .. and it will be done.
NOTE:- You will return back to stock without SU. !

Just a soft brick..
experienced the exat issue..
just use Sony Update service.. .
easiest to remove your soft brick!

You can use Sony Update Service, you are right it's different !
Download here
SEUS works even when the phone won't boot...
You just need to find xperia x8 from listed mobiles, and follow instructions.. easy
Good luck

This phone won't boot so PC companion will not be able to repair it !
Only Sony update service is able to repair the phone in flash mode
Many XDA users talk about SEUS and PC companion like if they were the same program...
P.S: if bootloader is unlocked, relock it by using RESTORE option in S1-tool or any soft you used to unlock it.
Relock the bootloader before using Sony Update Service

Are you serious? You don't know how to use pcc to unbrick a soft bricked phone then. Read up. Lots of guides showing just how to do it. And the update service is NOT the only tool to unbrick a phone. Please do a simple search about bricks first before you start giving answers and claim other users think pcc and seus is the same. You're only giving op false info.

I was just telling you that they are not the same software..
It happened to me during old soft bricks that PC companion sometimes won't do nothing through support zone => update
Ok Update Service is better (because it's different) and sorry for giving a fake info

I apologize for jumping on you mate.
Pcc can repair soft bricked phones although it's tricky for new users. In that aspect seus is better since it's simpler. Personally I prefer flashtool. I have stock rom and kernel on my pc just in case. I guess it's personal preference.

Thanks

Thank you. This was propably the one out of 2 comments that actually helped me.
Thanks phone up and running again.
I cant root it though. I dunno why. I restored it with SEUS and then updated firmware with pcc. Still cant root it.

How are you trying to root it? Can you give us a log? Someone can probably help you out if we can identify what's wrong.

[Q] X8 not booting.

Hi guys, my X8 is not booting up. Everytime I press the power button, it vibrates but after that nothing happens. I tried to flash the stock firmware of x8 thru flashtool but nothing happens. I also tried using SEUS and PC companion. Please help? My computer can recognize the x8 but I don't know what to do next. Is it a hard brick or a soft brick only? Please I need your help. Thanks in advance.

what the log say when you tried to flash with flashtool?

My x8 manufacture date is 10w51. I just relocked it hoping that it will fix the problem. But it didn't. The problem happened while I am on LewaOS rom. I just turned off my x8 because I am going to church and when I am going to open it. It just vibrates and nothing happen. And one thing I notice is that even though I didn't hold the back button, it can connect to flashtool on flash mode.
- EDIT -
Guys, please reply. I really need your help.

Stupid observation but believe me i have seen cases where this was the problem, are you sure it isn't out of battery?
If that's not the case then maybe there is a problem with the battery, does it charge normally?

I don't know if the battery is the problem. I turned my phone off but it has 20% charge left. Actually, I can't charge my phone now. I tried to charge it for hours but nothing happens. Also, when I look on my battery, there is no change on its appearance. It looks normal. I am totally confused right now on what to do. My PC can recognize it and I can go to flash mode on flash tool. But whenever I try to turn it on, it only just vibrates. Thanks for you reply.

I already bought a new battery and flashed GDX. But now, i have the same problem. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
