Hie. I am a newb and m trying to unlock the bootloader of my Xperia X8.
Its date is 11W25. Hence there is no issue with this also.
When i start the S1tool and connect my celfone, the S1tool keeps showing a moving bar (as if its loading some data) and thats it it doesnt show "NOT RECOGNIZED" or "SEMC" just.
I m not understanding whats going on??
Please help.

You probably didnt install the drivers needed for your phone to be recognize by your computer.

Not sure if this matters, but do you have flashtool installed? Did you install the drivers in the drivers folder in flashtool? No experience in unlocking x8 bl but maybr it would work.

Try A reset using PC Companion or my guide HERE
You needed to install the drivers from
COMPUTER>FLASHTOOL>DRIVERS>x8

EDIT: SOLVED THANKS TO damir87
Ok guys, after a lot of research and messing up I ended up needing to ask for help.
I started trying to install cyanogen mod 9 (Android 4.0.3) where everything was going fine, but when I flashed the kernel with the "Custom Gingerbread kernel nAa-11" and installed the cyanogen 9 ROM with xRecovery, but when I started the phone (And it's still like this ATM) after the Sony Ericson logo, it appears the XPERIA logo with the lighting animation, it does the animation about 3 - 4 times and freezes after that and stays there, sometimes it does the animation 3 times, disappears and appears the logo again and then freezes.
I realized this happened because I didn't unlock bootloader. I can actually check the bootloader and I get the message that says it's locked but you can unlock it but to unlock it I have to have it turned on with USB debugging on.
Also, sometimes when I try to flash it again, after connecting it and the green light turning on it says I have plugged the device in flash mode, then it says I unplugged it and tells me that an error occurred, then the phone boots up by it-self.
BTW I'm a bit newbie in the section of "flashing" and the kernel and the baseband stuff, I'm not sure if with flashing, you flash the kernel, the baseband, or the ROM it-self, or even if you can install a ROM with the flashtool with the phone on flashmode.
BTW I can't access xRecovery.
- SEUS Says my phone is already up to date and all I can do is click finish.
- PCC Says there's not software available for my phone.
WHAT WOULD BE PERFECT TO FIX THIS:
A way to change the ROM to the android 2.1.1.C.0.0 without booting the phone(in flash mode).
HOW I SOLVED IT
-I simply downloaded this stock ROM (2.1.1.C.0.0): http://www.mediafire.com/?eca0sualnao4c4c
-Then just used flashtool V0.2.9.1 (I think it's important that you use that exact version): https://rapidshare.com/#!download|5...|62602|R~5490459C5764641D4665C046409A620A|0|0
(Sorry for rapid**** host, couldn't get any better)
After that it took the phone about 5~ mins to start up after the 2nd SE logo.
Again thanks to damir87!
I was newbie too , but reading threads helped , use SEUS Sony PC Companion to restore to stock.

Thanks for the reply, but Sony PC Companion needs the phone to be ON and on debug mode, actually I can't fully boot the phone and SEUS gets stuck on "checking connection to the phone" or something like that.
Also PCC says there's no available updates for the phone. <.<
Turn off phone , then do what seus asks

The PC companion says there's no software for my phone and,
the SEUS says my phone is already up to date.
When i used seus i had right down a button option to reflash.

flash this with flashtool and all over again.. rooting, recovery, baseband.. THEN you can install custom rom mate, and if you wanna flash custom kernel read some stuff before! its not so complicated if you know what you doing!

Even I HATE rapidshare, hotfile, depositfile, share and uploading, I'll trust you and hope it works .
With this you say it'll do everything?
Even the rooting while on flashmode? and instal xRecovery?
Remember I can't access the phone.
BRB In 3 hours with the ****ty 30kb/s, gonna practice shuffle.
This file is stock 2.1 for x8 so when you flash this your phone will not be rooted and will not have recovery installed, thats you gonna do after flashing stock rom! btw B.Jay is write nice and detailed tutorial so you can follow these steps to make your phone work!

Oh, ok great, and when flashing this it will install the default ROM and remove the android 4.0.3 ROM right?
EDIT: I already did that tutorial, when I tried to flash the phone with the 2.1.1.C.0.0, it gave me an error saying it can't prepare the files for the flashing, any idea?

Did you try PC Companion to repair the phone?
If so... do you know how to do that? I'm saying this because I bricked my phone once and I didn't knew hot to use th "repair" option. Only after a big search I found a step by step tutorial on how to do that...
This has probably been asked many times before but ive rooted my xperia t and want to unlock the bootloader so I can install pacman rom, however when i hold the volume up and plug in the usb cable, the blue light stays on for around 5 seconds and then goes into charging mode, many people say to wait for it to show up in the device manager and install it manually which i keep trying to do but so far no luck so is there anyone who would gladly show me a noobs way of doing it as im following this guide at the moment.

you have to boot into safe mode and install the drivers that way.
It may not be called safe mode in win 8, but its something like that
RE: Xperia T wont stay in fastboot mode?
I have the same problem has anyone figured it out yet i cant do it in safe mode
had the same issue, but with me the problem was w8, if you are on window 8 you need to disable driver verification or something like that, i recomend, doing it on a windows 7 pc
I have windows 7 but did not work, can using a laptop affect the driver installation?
No, I use a win 7 laptop

Im not sure. But if everything fails u can use the have disc method.
How to; google it. There is detailed instructions on the laptopvideotogo page. This basically forces install of a driver, it will work as long as the driver is installed at the right device, and at the right tine ( flash mode, bios and normal operating mode utilize different drivers )
I managed to sort my laptop in the end which already had the drivers installed. Ended up having to do a repair

So frustrating, but when I tried to update my phone to 4.3 the phone gets to the 2nd dot stops and then restarts with the message 'could not install new software version. Try again'
Has anyone had this problem, and found a solution? It happens everytime I try, updating via the computer via both PCC and flashtool isn't an option because my phone does not respond in flashmode!
also bootloader is locked and no longer rooted
thanks
Install the flashmode and TX drivers from the Flashtool drivers folder and then install the FTF from Flashtool

The problem I am having is updating over the air.. as I said I cannot update using flashtool or PCC because the usb port seems to be faulty
You said that your phone didn't respond in flashmode. How do you charge your phone if the USB port is faulty? Driver problems seems much more likely to me.
Anyway, did you unlock your bootloader or installed a custom ROM/recovery?

Like I've said I haven't messed with the phone at all, with the exception of rooting it.
I also assumed it was drivers but after spending ages playing around with various computers it still wont respond. I also think it's faulty because if I try and charge it using the wall charger when it is switched off, nothing happens whereas it should boot up? The USB port functions perfectly fine when the phone is on
thanks
SoftBrick'ed?

Use Sony pc companion.
Follow the steps in the repair section. That should fix it.... You prolly flashed via flashtool without enabling unknown sources and maybe without USB debugging.

When I plug the phone by usb. It starts in flashmode, but my PC Companion don't see phone. What should I do?
Had the same problem, repair with PC Companion worjed for me. As I remember I went to Software Updates and somewhere there is a link to 'Repair your Phone'. As I'm not at home, I can't look after the exact steps, but should be easy to find (or search after 'PC Companion repair phone' ). After this simply follow the steps shown by PC Companion.
huh guys, thanks. It works, everything i need to do was choose repair option with unpluged phone. Thanks for help

This has happened to me a few times. I've had a couple of failed flashes. Just reflash and it's usually ok. I think the Sony drivers are a little flaky.
Hi ,
I am trying to give your answer and you should search into the net .
Hi,
I am a new member here Thats why same condition to me.so i will try my level best to get answer.
If you're using the firmwares from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z4/general/ftf-stock-rom-e6553-sov31-402so-03g-t3136161) then you use should the version of flashtool in that Google Drive folder (0.9.18.6). Using the newer 0.9.19.1 gave me the same stuck on modem.sin problems.
