[Q] How to flash .ftf rom image by flashtool? - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Since my phone has been bricked by me,I have read a lot of threads to know what's happened.So I want to flash the rom image again.But I can't go to megaupload and I don't know what to do.
Moreover,I don't know where to download the stock rom.Also,I don't know how to flash rom by flashtool,could anyone help me?
Thank you very much!!!

Flash kernel & ROM
Well it is kinda hard work to do. You need to do bootloader, flash back the kernel, and flash back the ROM. So far the best is by going into nAa's kernel thread, it covers, well, I can say, basically all these. I'm using and recommend nAa kernel v11 now so good with OC even can play 3D HD games without Chainfire 3D (of coz better if u install too) just type 'nAa kernel' in search box & u can see the topic. Pls consider ur level of understanding b4 trying. But it is essential bcoz at least u can still flash back the kernel n restore ur ROM back (REMEMBER: Back-up the ROM!!!) if ur phone doesn't even restart. & remember, most of the time di FULL WIPE b4 installing new ROM to avoid conflict AND the ROM must be COMPATIBLE with the kernel u use. Thanks goes to nAa for his great ROM ok??? Best of luck then... Oh yeah for the .ftf file DO NOT unzip it, just put it in /firmware in the flashtool in ur PC & flash it
topic: [KERNEL] nAa-11 [11/2/12] Custom Gingerbread kernel + CWM Recovery

Thank you very much!!!
However,I cannot boot up my phone and it stop at the sony ericsson logo
So what can I do2?

If you mean the Stock ROM image ...
Click on the link in my signature.
In the "Flashtool" folder you will find a collection of Flashtool versions. I recommend you download either v0.2.9.1 or v0.6.7.0
Then hop into the "Sony Ericsson" Folder. In there you will find a 7-Zip compressed 2.1.1.C.0.0 Flashtool ROM image - download X8_E15_2.1.1.C.0.0_generic.7z and extract to get the FTF.
Download the "Unbrick the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8.txt" and follow the guide.
In case of problems or question simply post.

[Q] Wellcom A99 booting stuck on welcome screen page

I am really in need of help about Huawei ideos X6 (Wellcom A99 - Thailand).
Yesterday I tried to install CWM v.5, root Wellcom A99,using CWM Recovery v.5.0.2.3(refer to this method at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278027), and it's done successfully as CWM message notice. after i reboot to os, everything seemed fine untill I used ROM Manager (ROM Manager App) to change something just for my experiment such as change fonts, themes, the ROM Manager App required me to reboot the system to apply changes.When I rebooted the system, it's stuck on the first page screen (wellcom welcome screen)and now no matter I tried to reboot, battery out and anything, it wont go nowhere. Please someone provide me with the solution and process. Thank you very much for those who will try to help me out about my Wellcom A99. I'm in need of your advice.
Please help. Thank you very much.

I am not sure about what ROM manager did to your device, but I guess you are stuck on boot splash screen.
And I guess you will be still able to get in recovery mode.
(Just pull your battery and replace it if you are stuck on splash screen.)
When your device is turned off, press Vol UP + Vol DOWN and then press Power button - keep all of them pressed till you sense long vibration (Usual way to get in recovery mode)
Now restore or install any ROM.
Post your experience.
Now restore or install any ROM.

Now it would sound so silly to you Napstar, but I have to accept it that I don't know how and I dont want to take a wrong direction. Since I'm very new to this, can you help guiding me on how to install ROMs. Yes, you are right I can still get into recovery mode, but I just don't know how to continue and where I can get all those ROMs. Please bear with me.
Thank you, Pitt.
just go to android development section and look at the beginner guide its easy don't worry

Which recovery version are you using?
CWM v5.0.2.3 has an option for mounting sdcard as USB device.
Boot into recovery
Connect your device to PC via USB
Option mount and storage >> mount USB storae
Stay in that menu till you want to use your sdcard (for copying files)
If you have recovery menu v2.
Choose CWM recovery first and do nb0 file copying by following above instructions.
Then reboot into recovery (advanced >> reboot recovery)
Choose stock recovery and choose install firmware.nb0 option.
If this gives any errors post it here. Someone amongst us will surely help you.
Best of luck!

guys, if let's say i installed a custom rom, and without having the kernel which is needed for the rom and i cant get into recovery mod, is there anyway to repair this? and also i didn't unlock the bootloader.. any help?? please? one more thing, the debugging mode is off. so i can't transfer files through flashtool. That happens because the custom rom cannot be booted up and therefore i cant select debugging mode on~

My fellow Malaysian, just which ROM you are trying to install? many custom ROMs doesn't need custom kernel, so you don't have to install and unlock the bootloader!
Since you have installed the custom kernel( assuming it required the custom kernel), use flashtool to install the custom kernel for it to work!
Please remember for custom kernel like aNa, you need to unlock the bootloader, pls check the date of manufacturing first, Otherwise you may break your phone

You have started two same thread on the same problem! Which version of aNa kernel and ROM you are using? Can you go into the Recovery with BACK button?
If so, do a full wipe and install the ROM again with the custom zip files from SDcard.
Please let us have more details so you could help you better!

Well, and you wonder why it "dies" at the attempt to boot?
The STOCK ROM does NOT work with nAa or Alfs!
Now go and flash MiniCM7 or restore the Stock Kernel and keep on improving your knowledge before running free and messing up.

What saintckk wanted to say is this ...
If you look at the thread title of nobodyAtall's Kernel thread it reads:
[KERNEL] nAa-10 [28/1/12] Custom Gingerbread kernel + CWM Recovery
You notice the "Gingerbread" I made bold?
Android 2.1.x --> Eclair
Android 2.2.x --> Froyo
Android 2.3.x --> Gingerbread
Android 3.x.x --> Honeycomb
Android 4.0.x --> Ice Cream Sandwich
Since the thread title points out that the kernel is intended to be used with Gingerbread ROMs you can't use it with older Android versions.
But that's just half the story.
Not every 2.3.x (aka "Gingerbread") custom ROM will actually work with every custom Kernel.
For example:
GingerDX runs on Stock Kernel, Alfs or Linux DX
MiniCM7 runs best on nAa ONLY
This means you have to use a befitting kernel for the ROM of your choice. The supported Kernels of a ROM are either noted down in the thread title or somewhere in the 1st post.
The simple fact is that the 2.1 STOCK ROM does NOT work with custom kernels at all as it has never been made to run on a custom kernel.
Note: I'm ignoring the fact here that lrakkarl's FroyoPro can also run on Alfs.
That being straightened out ...
To resolve your problem do as I wrote above. Either flash MiniCM7 (v2.1.8) or flash back the stock kernel and stay on the stock ROM.
Again: The Stock ROM does NOT work with custom kernels!
NO.... I try of 5 hours and nothing I can fix this... X(
Well...
To flash MiniCM7 (requires "adb" as you're stuck at boot AND some knowledge about how to do it):
- Download the ZIP of the ROM
- Connect your X8 to the Computer by using the USB cable
- Turn on the phone and once the SONY ERICSSON logo appears keep on tapping onto the screen to get into CWM.
- "Mount SD-card"
- adb connect
- adb push C:\path\to\MiniCM7.zip /sdcard
- Flash MiniCM7 from your SD card
- Full Wipe
- Reboot
The other way would be as hrvoje334 pointed out above ...
Flash back to Stock and retry from there.

Ok ...
Download Flashtool
Download the Stock Kernel FTF
Download the Stock 2.1.1.C.0.0 Stock ROM FTF
Put the ftf files into the "firmwares" directory inside the Flashtool directory.
Start Flashtool
Click the "Flash" button and select the kernel ftf.
In the next window don't do anything, just click "OK"
Flashtool will now tell you to ...
- TURN THE PHONE OFF
- Press the Back button and keep it pressed
- Connect the phone to the computer
Once you see that flashtool recognized the phone and started to flash the kernel you can release the back button.
Repeat the procedure a second time, but this time you select the ROM FTF.
Once that's done you're back on the Stock Kernel and Stock ROM.
From there you need to root the phone again and either install xRecovery or Dual Mode recovery (to have xRecovery AND CWM).
You may also try with PC Companion instead of Flashtool, but in case PC Companion tells you to take a hike you need to go down the Flashtool route.

Since you obviously didn't unlock your boot loader but just flash MiniCM7 - no, I take your boot loader should even still be locked, right?
If you didn't touch the boot loader and NOT flash a custom kernel...
Just download Flashtool and the Stock ROM FTF to recover your phone back to Stock 2.1

Go to xrecrovery choose instal custom zip from sd card hoose zip from sd card find your mini cm 7 install rom and factory reset/full wipe.
It depends on ROM. Some of CM7 works only on custom kernels, so You should first check if You will be able to unlock bootloader. Look behind Your battery - on the stick there should be something like xxWyy which will tell You the year and the week of Your board. If it's older than 11W26 (26th week of 2011) - U may unlock bootloader and install custom kernel (on Your own risk ;P). If not - You shouldn't do this and search for ROMs working on SE stock kernel

Also, some ROM required CWM instead of Xrecovery, so read carefully before attempting anything.
Hmmmm
I unlocked bootloader long time ago(10WW48 on the sticker).
to przemek4113: Just installing from xrecovery gives me a unbooting phone.
I tried Froyo, but it doesn't boot too.
Then i'm flashing(Xrecovery doesn't give me a booting phone even if i recover all system) official 2.1.
This phone was bought with GinderDX on it. But latest versions need new kernels(flashing kernel bricks phone).
May be try Previous versions of GingerDX?
Really, i tried about seven customs...
P.S. I'm installing xrecovery ROM's from Xrecovery and CWM ROM's from CWM...

Mind to elaborate where you read that "latest versions need new kernels"?
GingerDX runs on STOCK KERNEL, LinuxDX as well as Alfs. I fail to find the part in doixanh's post where it says something about forcing a certain kernel to be used.
Make sure you have an older x8 than 11w29, its under the battery. When the number is 11w29 or newer, you'll not get CM. Unlock your bootloader.
Download and flash FXP kernel. Install official CM with the kernel built-in CWM. I recommend to flash nAa kernel after install the CM, it's much better.

If you want CM7 you should go to this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585
That's my fault - i was speaking about another ROM. Not GingerDX - but it doesn't boot too.
I followed advise about miniCM7.
Flashed kernel ->then wiped all(i disliked the message about ext4 - there's no this partition - probably that's the problem???) ->installed ROM. Nothing.
"nAa kernel" logo appears and then it reboots.
UPD:
I've installed GingerXperia(v19) via CWM.
Then -
I've flashed all kernel,fota and smth else(not all files from 2.1.1).
Then it booted...strange)
But i'll try to work with other kernels...

Flash Tool - I've seen links on it thousand times on 4pda.ru, but not here - i suppose it to be in the branch about X10.
http://www.mediafire.com/?z7fmpiragbbdxdu - here is flasher.
http://depositfiles.com/files/c2gllgt6t - or here, with official firmware
It would be great if somebody could provide the step by step procedure of flashing my w8 to get past the se logo....
1)Download all archives above
2)Run flasher
3)Press "Flash" and choose necessary firmware
4)follow advices of software
5)reboot -> You have official 2.1
then
1)check your bootloader(http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/1227710/S1tool.7z) with this tool
2)unlock it if it is able for you
3)take root(superoneclick with debugging)
4)make xrecovery
5)install any xrecovery zip
or
alt 5)make CWM
alt 6)install any CWM zip
or
install kernel
then install zip
Firstly try it from xrecovery. If you have some problems - write PM to me)
I have done it and successfully flashed as per flashtool...but now even i cant boot stuck at "sony ericsson" now the animated logo works and reboots automatically...pls help

If you want fast and stable custom rom, then try this: New build of CM10.2 in [Team Canjica] CyanogenMod 10.2 thread.

The phone is too old to stay many developers (not much left) :crying:
Here is CWM: update.zip
If you need kernel, then after flash this: [Kernel][3.0.101] MK kernel r6
I think these files are only going on I9070 phone. I'm not sure that will be fine on i9070p.
If I'm wrong, someone correct me.

Oh yeah great suggestion
Tomorrow i prepare ODIN and flash the latest official rom. After that from stock recovery i thinks i can flash the root.zip for root access....... using flashify for installing recovery and after that finally installed this 10.2 and after that install the kernel here.
I thinks it's not the best solution...... but it's but it's better than nothing I need only to use this i9070 only for emergency or backup smartphone

This is the right order for me after Odin;
in recovery: wipe, flash update.zip, flash mkkernel zip, flash root.zip and then custom rom + gapps.
I don't flash kernel on custom rom. You know that you need it or not. I think that's unnecessary. I would rather flashing kernel before flashing custom rom.
