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?

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...

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

Can't flash xperia x8

Hi!
When i try to flash the mobile, using flash tool, i connect it pressing back bottom (flash mode), the green light turns on and a few secons later it turns off and appear the charging screen and nothing happens... sometimes it worked, yesterday worked one time with a back up of the original rom, but i need a free rom to use another sim card.
I rooted it some time ago, but i installed some rooms to test them and i don't know if i need to root again (if its rooted yet). I tried to root with supereasyclick, but i got no lucky with 2 versions of the app. With the last version of flash tool the root bottom is grey and i don't know how to do it, also i don't know if i need to unlock the bootloader again...
So i'm trying to flash the mobile with nAa kernel and it seems imposible to me...
Please help me!

Did you unlock your bootloader? If not, check your manufacture date from the battery. It says "10wXX" or "11wXX" or "12wXX". When your device is past 11w29 and above like 11w29,11w30,...... you can't unlock your bootloader. What happens when you can't? You can NEVER FLASH OTHER KERNELS except your STOCK KERNEL to your device! And also the STOCK FIRMWARE you can only FLASH! So that's why it can't properly enter into the flash mode.
Some tips for you: Start flashtool first if you're trying to flash back to original firmware. And choose the files and ok and wait for it for preparing files and when it says to start to flash mode and connect! Then you press your back button to your device FIRST and connect USB and when it turns green LED, you can let it go I meant the BACK button! Hope it helped!
Click "Thanks" If I helped you out!

You can root with SuperOneClick ShortFuse! Connect your device in USB debugging!
Settings > Applications > Development > Tick "USB Debugging"
And connect your device to your computer and click "Root" button on SuperOneClick and wait for it! And then, Viola! Your device is now rooted!
You have to reboot your device for first time to make root access work! Then install Root Explorer and Superuser will prompt for root access!
That way you can tell it is successfully rooted!
P.S: This guide for you is only for 2.1 Stock Firmware

I forget to say onething: i flashed it one time, so i don't remember what manufacture date have my phone, but it must work because i did it one time.
When i start flash tool and connect the phone, it doesn't detect it. Just when i start it (and without usb connected) it says:

Ok, the manufacture date is 10W45, so should work perfectly. What tool can i use to unlock the bootloader? The objective is unlock the sim restriction, so if there is a easiest way, just tell me please.
When i flashed yesterday the backup i exclude TA (simlock.ta) to see if without that, the sim locker is removed, but nothing...
The flash tool version im using is "0.9.10.2beta6 built on 2013-04-21 22:23:00" (java version 1.7.0_17 64bits Edition)
I installed pc companion, and drivers were installed too. Also drivers from flash tool folder (x8, flashmode and fastboot)
Really... i don't know why flash tool doesn't recognize the phone when i plugged in, i don't know what it recognize when i start it... here the full log (debug). Also, the backup i flashed (downloaded from internet) is e15a and my phone is e15i, does it matter?
Please, give me working tools to unlock bootloader or something else (links)
Thanks!

When the phone is in Flashmode, and the device isn't receiving any activity, it will restart itself to the system.

Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app

Keep volumm down and connect your phone to computer >> open PC companion >> click on Support Zone >> Click on Phone Software update >> Click Repair >> Wait till it done . Try it's . Good luck .

the best method is download SONY UPDATE SERVICE software to your pc. after installing update service, turnoff your mobile then press and hold the volume down key , and connect it with your pc. (even if your phone is not charged no problem ). release the volume down key when the on screen instruction says it. after that if the system says your phone has latest software, then select reinstall the software. wait until it finish. thats all.

dont do too more
just power off ur sp bu stick the reset button in the backcover,and power on,see what happen,take it easy and carefully

Unable to access xRecovery after restore process

Hello,
After flashing this ROM I rebooted my device then it stuck to Sony Ericsson splash screen; I tried to skip it but unfortunately I couldn't so removed the battery then tried to access xRecovery as usually but I couldn't do that!!!
My Phone now is a brick and I hopeful to get some help from you to access xRecovery to be able to flash another ROM doesn't broke my device.
The original installed ROM is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955467 ;it was working well but it's working under Android 2.1 while I'm looking for much modern version of Android for that I tried to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575094
I suspect that using xRecovery instead of CWM is the main reason of breaking my device but this is very late because I did my stupid move and the disaster done:crying:

1. The rom you flashed is for custom kernels, your phone is bricked because you flashed it on stock kernel
2. U shouldn't be using xrecovery, its outdated, use CWM

My battery dead:crying: and another thing, I can't power it off so I've to remove the battery manually to be able to power it off.
How can I power it on while the battery off (I can see a red flashing led)

After connecting my device on recharge I can see the damn splash screen of Sony Ericsson.
I tried to use same steps as mentioned in the guide but keeping pressing on "back" button didn't do anything!

Thanks a lot, the issue was related to old version of Flashtool; after using flashtool-0.9.13.0-linux.tar.7z with USB drivers as mentioned in this post; everything went perfectly.
Thanks once agian for help and I wish you best.
BTW, I want to use Android 4.0 or newer; may you please advice me which ROM is better.

Try different jelly bean roms...
Everyone has different setup and different experience, try it yourself.
And on our x8, 4.0 is heavier than 4.1 so I recommend to use jelly bean

Actually I want to use Android 4.0 or newer because some used apps (ex. ownCloud) need a newer version than 2.1 and because 2.1 is very slow with my contacts (about 1500 contact). So I want to know before flashing a new ROM if it will fix these two issues or not.
