Hy all, my X8 was frozen while installing CM 7.1 Stable, then it turned off. When I tried to turn it on it stuck at the SE logo, then freezed. I tried to get into my recovery and recover my phone, but I couldn't. Then i tried to repair it via PC Companion, but it said: ,,Your ip address is not allowed to update or repair brown phone. Please conect to the SEMC network." . Then I tried to flash 2.1 via Flashtool but it said install or reinstall my drivers. I did it, but the error came up again. Now I don't know what should I do to repair my X8. People said I should use SEUS but I couldn't find a working one for X8. If you can help me, please do!
Thanks for reading this thread, ChongWiz.
Sorry for bad english, I'm hungarian.
Install Gordon's Gate drivers inside flashtool's directory. Then try to flash newest original update by pressing back button through flashing. Flashtool should find your device and install smoothly. If you still have problems with drivers install newest PC Companion.

This may sound funny but it is real. Try the same process what you have done in another computer. I had the problem as you in my laptop. When I tried the process on my desktop computer it was like butter and I restored my phone software in just 15 mins.
I cant say the reason or logic behind but it worked.
Just have a try, you may succeed as me.
U can simply go to cybercafe or just work with another computer that all..
cheers
problem:
My friend had accidently deleted his \system folder and due to that,the phone on rebooting was stuck at the sony ericsson logo and would not go any further
solution:
1) charge the phone
2)download SEUS
3)connect usb port to pc.
4)Launch SEUS
5)When asked to plug the phone,plug the USB into the turned off phone(by removing and reinserting battery) and press the <-- and power button together and keep pressed until led turns green
6)the phone will be updated via SEUS

HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED
HI Everyone.
My Xperia X8 is bricked as i have tried to install custom roms in my phone. Now it is stucked at the Sony Ericsson Logo screen and is not going any further.
I have tried to flash the phone using Flash Tool but it failed. After connecting it in flash mode, Flash Tool says to check the USB Debugging mode from within phone which is not possible as it is not working.
I have also tried Sony PC Companion to repair my phone but at the time of update it says that no new update is available for my phone.
I have also tried using Sony Update Service but it also failed.
What should i do now?
Since retyping is troublesome ...
Have a look at this post I wrote up in this thread
Edit: Follow the instructions carefully. As you can read in the thread the restore worked (and I resurrected mine from the same point where yours is stuck).
The "Flash Tool says to check the USB Debugging mode from within phone" can't come up if the phone is connected in "Download mode" (keeping the back button pressed while connecting the USB cable to the computer). The crucial part is that the phone is TURNED OFF at the step where you press the back button, and that you KEEP the button pressed until Flashtool starts to flash.
And install gordon gate's usb drivers
Hit thanks button.

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!

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.

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.

Hi all! like most I have joined with a problem
I Have an xperia SP-C5303
I successfully rooted the device with the Towelroot app, Then used the sony mobile flasher by Androxyde to flash cyanogenmod 10.2 onto my phone. This was all working fine.
I used CMW to install an update downloaded through cyanogenmod. When I rebooted the device it was stuck in a bootloop. The device connects top the computer in flash mode, but will not accept a flash because somehow "USB Debugging" is not enabled. It was obviously enabled before because I had already flashed the device.
ADB drivers are installed but to be honest Im a bit lost now. Does anyone have any ideas how to turn on usb debugging so that I can flash my phone again?
Korbey
I can connect to sony mobile flasher in flash mode but flashing fails at the end with the program saying "For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings" how can I activate these when in a boot loop?

I would like to know if your Xperia SP has its bootloader unlocked?
The error most likely appear because you have no drivers for Xperia SP. Yes you might said that you installed it already but let's try again. Navigate to the Flashtool installation directory, which is C:\Flashtool by default. Then go into drivers folder and run the installer therein. Please tick fastboot drivers and flashmode drivers. Scroll down a bit and find Common drivers for Viskan board. Tick that as well and continue the driver installation.
After everything is completed. Close Flashtool and open in again (in case you've disabled UAC, please run Flashtool as an administrator). Then retry to flash a stock ROM's .ftf file.
I tried researching for information on this but wasn't able to resolve it. Basically, i have the same problem as here; Flashed a ROM, but after flashing it I found out I did it for the wrong model (5833 instead of 5803). When flashing the rom I wiped Dalvik, Cache, Data and System, and now I'm stuck at the Sony startup screen. It won't let me go into recovery mode.
I too tried to flash stock using flashtools, but it tells me "INFO - Device Status: NOT FOUND". I tried using the Sony PC companion restore function but I get the same problem, telling me there's no phone/device connected.
EDIT: I tried following the steps from this post, but I'm still stuck at the Sony loading screen.
Is there anything to do?
Have you tried the following with the sony companion?
Shut down the phone completely by pressing power and vol+ until the red led lights up and it vibrates a few times.
Now without connecting the phone you go to pc companion, update > repair my phone > select the model > check the boxes and go forward in the menue until it promts you to connect the phone. Your internet connection of your pc should be working for this.
Make sure you have the original cable or another high quality cable, blow into the micro sd slot on the phone in case there is some dirt in it. Might also check it with a light for some foreign partikels stuck in there.
Oke, assuming there is no actual crap in the micro sd slot, when pc companion prompts you to conntect the phone you do as it says, you press vol- and connect the phone to the pc at the same time.
The process takes a very long time so be patient or do something else while its repairing. If its not working try one more time.
If its still not working try to get it shipped in for sony warranty repair by calling the hotline and lying about your abuse of the phone and just say it suddenly stopped working.
Other options are to pay for repair at a phone repair shop or sell the brick.

First see if fastboot devices command gives your phone serial no. or not. If yes then it's a good news, flash recovery again, boot into recovery, flash rom and boot system.
If not, you may need to update your device driver in PC.
First possibility: your fastboot driver in pc needs to be updated.
2nd possibility: Some phones have EDL mode (emergency download) , google if your phone has it. Then you can probably use some tool to restore your phone from this mode.
