Hi all,
I'm new to the forums, but have been browsing anonymously for about 1 1/2 weeks, before my xperia x8 arrived, hehe. Yes Im a total noob, am not affraid to learn though.
Unfortunately, when the phone arrived, it came with a Nokia CA-101 data cable and a no-name headset(have to press/hold the button on the wire to hear music loud and clear)
I can browse the memory stick and PC Companion 2.0 works with the nokia cable.
My question and concern is: can I root my phone and start unlocking it WITH THAT NOKIA CA-101 CABLE - to update android to 2.3.x(example GingerDX) ?
So far havent done anything to it, except playing arround in service menu and transfering media files into the 16gb sd card.
Phone details:
Sony Ericsson E15i
IC: 4170B-A3880091 BX9 11W20
OS: Android 2.1-update1
If need more details or pictures, just ask, I will provide.
Thank you in advance
EDIT: its not simlocked, but after official logo, it displays UK Provider Three logo(black tribaal '3' on white background)
¹st welcome to the club dude
²nd It's ok to use the cable, its the same
And to unlock the boot loader please follow the instruction below and u won't brick ur phone it may help if it is your first time :

Press thanks if I helped
thanks for the welcome mate, after playing with it for about 2-3 days, its already boring, because I dont have wlan here yet, im gonna buy one AP hopefully today. I havent found any other way to connect it to internet.
I've tried to identify is via S1 Tool(on USB#1), powered-off and back button pressed, but it keeps searching, doesnt find it. any thoughts? I thought it was because of data cable.
edit: no drivers for SEMC USB Flash, windows 7 x86, cant post link to driver yet
edit2:
hmm,
SETOOL2 SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE
Elapsed:14 secs.
it seems its already UNLOCKED
EDIT3: GingerDX v022 Installed
Wow <-- !!!
kudos to doixanh
x8 update
I see no point (yet) in creating a new post, so I will continue in here.
I'll post my progress, maybe it will help someone else also
here's what I've done:
played arround with it for a couple days, got BORED!!! with android 2.1 and no root, no wlan.
phone details: Sony Ericsson E15i black ... 11W20, OS: 2.1-update1, version 2.1.1.A.0.6, baseband M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
- installed Gordon's Gate(needed drivers for X8)
- launched S1 Tool-> found out it was already unlocked with SETOOL2
- rooted with SuperOneClick
- x8toolbox-beta.4 - root 2.1(for rootexplorer.apk), clockworkmod & xrecovery, dual mode recovery - followed this youtube tutorial "UPDATE sonyericson w8 2.1 to 2.3.7 . v21,v22,v23 (GU V1)"
- downloaded "GingerDX-v022-update.zip" and copied to sd card root folder
- switched phone OFF, waited 1 minute(tip: take the sd card off), switched phone ON with back button pressed untill recovery menu loaded, did Factory Reset then selected Install Custom Zip from sd card and watched install progress, rebooted in GingerDX v022
- card was 'corrupted' so I formated it(I didnt care about the contents, new phone)
So far its running great, Im more than happy with it, but, as I kept reading the forums, I noticed some bugs:
1. when I rotate phone showing all apps icons, icons pile up on top of each other in top left corner
2. when I plug the data cable, and 'Turn On USB Storage', the sd card is unusable by phone 'Sorry, your SD card is busy'. Is this normal ?
3. before the update to GingerDX, I had installed dual touch from x8toolbox-beta.4 in Eclair, can I safely install it in GingerDX ?
4. battery drains a bit too fast, any help on how to improve/minimize battery waste ? I've deactivated the light sensor(was annoying) in menu and set display brightness to minimum(and still looks amazing)
Also, if you have any tips, please tell me - Im a NOOB eager to learn and want to use the full potential on my new toy, I mean phone.
Thanks for reading
I use that same cable. Same as the original X8 usb cable.

Hi, i like to try new rom's and i have tried badly one. Flashed Hero-Eclair-Sense-v0.2 to my SE xperia x8. Than i saw, wi-fi and mobile network is not working. Then i decided to remove current rom replacing backed up rom. Now i can't see my backed up rom. When i'm connecting pc with mobile phone, computer plays plugged in sound and the telephone says that usb debugging is enabled, but still i can't enter to my phone memory card. I don't know what to do? I'm scared a little. Could someone solve the problem or help me to solve.
Sorry for my english, i'm Lithuanian.
Just restore with Sony PC Companion and just so you know, that ROM you installed is an ancient relic and has been abandoned for a long time. Install something new such as MiniCM or GingerDX.
Sad day today....all was well, tried to play around with Swap memory and then the trouble started,
First all the data on my SD card got wiped out !
After that the phone just went dead, no led when connected to charge,screen was dead no light, flicker of any sort, removed battery and tried many times still no luck...
suspected it could be a software problem so connected to to SUT, a phone was detected, tried completing the stock ROM reload, went to certain extent but then resulted in FAIL
Post that now I get a led red light when connected to charger but nothing else. does not go into download mode or battery charging animation.
Tried SUT once again but this time there is no phone detected.....
not sure if it is battery / handset problem....did the core areas in the phone get corrupted while playing with Swap ???
I partitioned using CWM, used Swapper2 app, all went well till I realised that data in SD was wiped clean.
Was on sharp mod...missing the phone badly...any help or guidance will be much appreciated...
Also will visit to service center help now that this phone is completely off SPICE stores ? yes it is still under "Warranty"
had to switch back to blackberry yucksss !!...for sometime I was infact trying to touch the screen
hoping to hear soon from you guys !!!!
First of all very sad to hear, My heartfelt condolences....
At this stage after trying SUT for multiple times, I think a visit to Spice service center is the only solution, please try it and update here
Be ready to part with your phone for a week atleast
BACK in BUSINESS
I got it Back folks.....thanks to SUT & Windows.....was breaking my head on what could be wrong...retraced back all my steps....
checked if the device has been wrongly configured by windows....went to device manager...lo I saw there was "Other Device" with something registered as Qualcomm CDMA. Deleted it...removed the usb and reconnected.....
Windows did a fresh installation of the device...after sometime I could see F drive of the device with image folder and all its contents....
Simply ran SUT once again, even now there was no display, just a gut feel everything will proceed smoothly....and yes SUT detected the device went through the installation. At one step it also asked if it could format F drive....I went ahead pressing OK....SUT finished successfully...after few anxious moments saw the familiar battery charging icon ......My day was made....and after few more anxious moments....I pressed power button to see SHARP Loading....my device is reborn again !
lesson learnt.....Don't play with SWAP mem, let the dev folks figure out and guide us...
If in any trouble keep SUT and preferrably Stock NB0 file handy.
Back in business folks !!
well done bro, was following your situation closely, so glad your phone is back to normal.

Device still bricked
Hi, I have the same problem. My device (spice mi-410) suddenly stopped working. screen is blank, without power. It wont start in recovery or download mode. It wont charge. Only red led when connected to charger. That red led comes even when battery is not placed in the device and charger is connected. When i connect it to pc, windows detect it as HUAWEI Mobile Connect - Bus Enumerate Device in USB controllers. F disk is not visible nor can SUT detect it. Guess I am struck. This thing happened without me doing anything. It was working properly till night, just saw the device in the morning in this state. I had flashed official .nb0 few months back and the device was working flawlessly till now. Sending it to repairs to spice service centre is out of question (as it is out of warranty), nor those idiots know anything, they just gave me an estimate of INR 9k for repairs without seeing the device.
Any help appreciated.
9K OMG without looking at the phone
ya that idiot has fu***-up my phone earlier too. few months back my glass cracked, although the phone kept working fine. he changed the glass and returned the phone 2 months later, with all signs of ra**e been committed on phone. they never knew anything about the phone and were surprised to see such a huge device from spice. so they tried all there *tools* to pry it open before realizing that what damage they have done. my gps stopped working since then, they refused to fix it saying that as the phone has been *opened* (ra**d by them) it is out of warranty, although it was still under warranty.
And now this has happened.

Hi Pretty similar to the problem I had, try and do the following
Try to use the newer SUT (1.8) version, search in this forum and you will get the link. If you are on it great.
Keep the nb0 file of any original rom - Spice GB on .32 kernel or Sharp GB on .35 kernel
connect the device with battery (hopefully charged well) to your computer, let windows detect it, launch your SUT, if you see a phone connected you are in luck !...just proceed with the next steps of by selecting the nb0 file, and selecting erase all user data.
SUT will prompt that your F disk is gone bad and do you need to reinstall it, select yes and let SUT do its stuff.
This will 100% load the ROM and F disk stuff and device will boot into the ROM once you finish.
In case SUT is not showing A phone is connected, restart your computer, ensure no other application is running, clear all earlier recognized devices in Device Manager and start fresh by connecting the device again.

You could be right, if I recollect I infact flashed directly Sharp Stock ROM when I was facing the same problem. ....
btw how is HTC ONE V....you could have invested in a device with more RAM If I am not wrong this is with 512

hi
its ok budget buddy i didnt have much money and only the spice guy was giving me the buy back :laugh:
Phone not detected
I tried all the methods mentioned above on two different PC's. The Problem is that the phone is detected as "USB Input Device". The driver is provided by SUT. When it says device driver installed it shows as "usb input device" and the red notification LED glows. This happens whether or not battery is inserted. I charged the battery externally too.
Any Solutions?
[SOLVED] !
aditional info:
- baseband_015 2.1.1.A.0.6 X8i
- bootloader unlocked

but, in the part where i have to flash the kernel, and the mistake whas that i have the x10 kernel, not the x8.
now, each time i want to flash using flashtool, i got this error message:
17/014/2013 23:14:19 - ERROR - C:\Flashtool;custom;root;ftkit.tar : Not found

EDIT:
reinstalled flashtool (but this time in desktop), i got the same error

it's really strange, for some reason, if i try to turn on my xperia, the green led turn on, and turn off really fast, and then the screen turn on, and then turn off... if i try to do it again, nothing happend. but if i take out the battery, and put it again i cant restart the same process... knowing that, i trie to take out the battery, put it on, and flash from there... but the first time it failed:
18/027/2013 00:27:06 - ERROR -
18/027/2013 00:27:06 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
but in that moment, the green led still's on, i hope that if (i think that the green leds say's that the xperia is somekind of "directly" connected to the pc ) i trie to flash again, and it works !!!
i'm really happy...
something more...
somebody could think that i spend 1 hour trying to fix this, well.. i really spend all the day ): now i will try to put ginger again !

Xperia x8 totaly dead
Hi all,
I need help in regard with Xperia x8. I tried to flash it using the latest Flashtool 0.9.13.0, in the flashtool window I had the only option x10 V1 BLRelock. I went ahead following the steps, everything seemed ok, asked to disconnect the cable and the phone not responding al all.
Lately I realised that I did not load the correct firmware/option....
I followed this tutorial but is not working for me. The phone is totally dead.
Any other option left, before throwing it?
Any help is welcome.

Hi, Emy12. Have you checked out the unbricking part here? If you want to, you can download the Stock ROM here (courtesy of BlackRabbit1703 through 8cpaiw) and flash it to unbrick your X8.

Thank you for replay.
The problem is I can not power it at all, no life of it whatsoever, is totally dead, is not charging neither.
I went the a shop that deals with mobile phone stuff and they can not do anything, said that can not connect to the pc, it might be the power connector faulty, but no, is not faulty for sure. I do not think the flash tool damaged the connector socket.
It worked perfectly prior the problem.
I only did what I already stated in my previous post. I do not think there is a way to recover it.
I have to decide what I am going to do with it. I found for €20 a X8 in good working order , just the case is bad. The one I have is spotless except it stopped working. I am thinking to get it and change the board....
I will see now.

Well, Sony? Will charge me a lot to fix it. I do not see how they will fix it, maybe to change the board or have other ways to do it.
I will give them a call to see how much will charge me.
I think it will be more than €20 the price for used one and swap the board.
Hello,
I'm new here and i first of all will apologize myself for my bad English.
Further i will ask for some effective help.
I have bought a Xperia x8 device with Android 4. .. (and other numbers)
Now thats not original/official. This was rooted etc. with Cyanogen 9.0 and one or another flash program 'nad'.
Now I read about it and i tried SuperOneClick and Flashtool.net for getting the phone fully back to the moment he was ever bought. Then a will upgrade it to the newest version of android official available for that x8 with the official Sony tools. But that is not so easy.
Now there is going something wrong with (I think) SuperOneClick, but the point is that I don't have anything more on the phone. When i put the battery in the phone, it only will start up with the message Sony Ericsson, and that's it. An 'empty device' I think, like they say.
Now my question is can and how can I repair that to what I wanted to do? Can you please explain it with much details in simple English please, if it's possible?
With kindly regards

Hi,
I can't enter the flash mode on the phone when I press the back/return button, what now?
Greetz
Impossible, you must 'hold back botton' while connecting USB cable from both sides.
"why do we fall, bruce?
so that we can pick ourselves up."
Hi,
I have tried to follow your instructions, but its don't works. What now?
With kind regards
if you are using flashtool to flash the stock kernel and stock rom , please let us know first.
if you have problem with flashing the rom , you must remove the battery then place the battery and immediately hold the back button and connect the usb cable to your device...,it will start flashing the rom, after finishing the flash process you must wait till your phone boot itself.it will take about 2-3 minutes.
i used cwm to wipe my phone but i did not flash it with rom instead i rebooted the phone & now it's stock on the Sony logo. please help this is not even my phone
i did try to use flashtool to flash stock tft but unknown sources & debugging must be enabled but the phone is stuck on the Sony logo so i can't even enable these settings. please if you can help then do,thanks very much
the phone's boot loader is locked by O2 & i had lollipop for LBL installed but it was getting very laggy so i tried to install another rom when i then messed up everything !!
1.Flashtool needs USB Debugging for Rooting ur Device, not Flashing
So don't worry about it, go for flashing
2.In Case u Wipe Entire Phone I.e.System, Data, Cache then the Phone won't skip the Boot Logo
According to me, the Recovery should b Accessible, So flash any ROM present in the Storage (if its urgent for u to have the phone working)
OR
Use Flashtool, it will help you recovering ur Phone
Go for the Flash tool method, read the Procedure Carefully
Good Luck

I assume that you have tried the RR (5.0.2) LBL Bug-Fixed by Skulltus, if not then give it a try since LBL Users are finding it somewhat stable...
Reasons why Phone wasn't getting detected can be:-
>Improper Downloading of File - Make sure you don't Pause and Resume the Downloads too many times, so that it becomes corrupt
>Wire-- Use a Sony USB Cable only or a Good one ( i use Samsung's Cable for the Timebeing) -- Improper wires can be a reason why the Phone can't get detected by The PC...
>Try Another USB Port to Connect the Phone if it doesn't get detected by one...
These things happened with me Many times, Just Sharing it
Happy Flashing :good:

i have installed skultus bugfree 5.0.2 last night & it kept throwing a constant error (system UI crashed) i wasn't able to use the phone because this error when i hit ok it will comeback instantly so i thought it's not compatible,maybe i got the error because installation says ((1. Make you sure your device is LBL with .207 stock kernel, )) but my stock kernel is not 207 the firmware version ends with 205 , i have tried the sony companion to update but it said latest firmware is already installed. what do you think about this ?

thanks i really appreciate it & i look forward to those links. :good:
i know about rooting & flashing roms in zip format via recovery but yes i'm new to installing roms & kernels via the flashtool & not a big fan of it either.
Hey, I'm in pretty much the same situation here, except I am having a few problems which are keeping me from going back to the stock firmware.
1) The phone keeps restarting when it's in flashmode - meaning it's sitting there for 30 seconds or so with flashmode and the green light, and then disconnects and turns back on into flashmode. This is keeping me from being able to flash anything because the device disconnects through the process.
(Yes, I did try reinstalling the programs, updating drivers, restarting computer, using a different usb port/cable etc)
2) I did manage to make it stay connected somehow last night BUT flashtool would give me errors involving .sin's of some kind. I could get past all this by flashing the stock firmware using "repair my phone/tablet" in Sony PC Companion, which I have done twice before so I can confirm it works - but for some bizarre reason the software started saying that there is no firmware available for my device!
Please help!
2->If you have already flashed A Firmware via Flashtool and u want to perform another,
then you have to RESTART it (the App) Otherwise it will show
Unable to Flash "System.sin" as you said
1-->I guess Flash Mode has A Time limit to get connected with the PC, if not then definitely its the wire Problem...Wires should be in good condition

ok i have big issue with this so called bugfree rom, i don't know how is this happening & i hope you will have an idea, when i install apps & games on the phone & then i reboot the phone for what ever reason half the apps & games will vanish from the phone !!! i also noticed that those games that vanished from the phone are installed on the SD card & the funny thing is when i look at the storage the SD card memory it remains the same size even after i have installed those games & apps on it !! for example i have 2.54gb of sd space remaining out of the 4gb card & when i finish installing the games & apps it remains 2.54gb & i can play the games it's only when i reboot the phone they no longer on the phone. what is happening here ?

I didn't try the LBL ROM since I Unlocked the Bootloader but still,
In All ROMs when I install an app from the SD Card, they get vanished on rebooting.... It reads the SD Card and the App Appears
I guess there's a "Move to Phone" Option in it, try doing that for those apps installed in SD Card
There should be an Option of-
"Preferred Install Location" either in
--Settings->Apps(Select the Menu)>Preferred Install Location
OR
--Settings->Storage->Preferred Install Location
Default Option can be "Let the System Decide"
Change it to Internal Storage

ok but this means all apps will be installed to the internal memory & one of the reasons why i wanted lollipop is the ability to install some apps to SD . i just need to fix this write to SD issue & i will be good to go.

Oh Yeah....
I guess App2SD Implementation is not working properly in 5.0.2 so you are facing the problem

do you mean i wont be able to use the SD to install apps !! i have installed an app to the internal memory & when i moved it to the SD card the settings says it's moved correctly but the SD card memory size still unchanged which means it didn't move correctly & if i try to start the app the phone will freeze & if i restart the phone the app will disappear !!
