Hmm. I don't know what the problem is. Well you could use flashtool to go back to stock but you'll have to root and do everything again..

Try this THREAD first.
If it doesn't work, you'll have to restore your X8 to it's original state. Follow these instructions STEP BY STEP:
- On your PC, uninstall Sony PC Companion
- Restart your PC
- Reinstall Sony PC Companion by downloading it from here
- 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.
If Sony PC Companion STILL doesn't recognize your X8, then, uninstall it AGAIN, and start the above described process AGAIN. It WILL eventually work!

It may be in your flashtools folder
Go to flashtools installation folder/drivers now u should see it... & its the right one
- maybe you should plug while your device is turned on?+usb debugging enabled (don't laugh! I just can't remember it)
sent using" ultimate - ics - standard"

Do you have PC Companion? It should have necessary drivers for the phone and also install gordon's gate from the setup file in the drivers folder.If its not working then search the web for it you will get the latest drivers for download.

Flash Official firmware and start over.
You also should know that PC Companion doesn't work for unlocked devices, so forget about it if you are unlocked.

Your phone need to be shutdown for the flashmode (download mode) so the USB debugging has nothing to do, you just need to shutdown the phone, press the - volume button and plug the USB cable in same time when it asked.

Have you tried to connect the device via fastboot, flash a standalone kernel with a recovery included and flash a rom via recovery?(DoomKernel for example).
Maybe this is a bit too much information if you are new to unlocked bootloaders, but all the steps are well detailed on development section of the forum, search a bit for fastboot instructions and drivers needed, then head on to DoomKernel thread for a standalone kernel. And sorry I cant give you links and stuff, I'm on the phone and it is quite a trip to provide all the links.

Restore it with Sony Update Service and resize your ****in photo DUDE!
PS: Do you really destroyed your screen

I would say its drivers too; have you tried reinstalling flashtool and drivers.
Does your pc make a sound when you connect your phone in flash mode; does it recognise it?
Also, may be a weird one but, is your battery charged over 50%.
If you want to use SUS or PC Companion you have to relock your Bootloader first by restoring your TA partition considering you backed it up

If you backed it up with Backup-TA then you can run Backup-TA again while your phone is plugged in and select the option to Restore TA.

[Q] Error while using flashtool

I have the latest build and i'm trying to downgrade it but i have an error while flashing it. Here's the error.
ERROR - Processing of loader.sin finished with errors.
Can't seem to find the problem. I've redownload and tried other roms but its still the same.
My process is i will open the flash tool and flash the tft file then wait for a message to pop up then i will press volume down and insert the USB.
But i've seened in the tutorial that i have to first press volume down and insert the USB before flashing. But when i used that method my phone will open by itself.

U said that you press volume down and connect USB right. The method is volume down + power button and connect USB. Try that.

C6603.. Hey, i'm trying to fastboot my device so i can unlock my bootloader. But when the driver is installing on my computer. It fails. And when i look into the Device Manager of my computer. The Sony ADB Interface has a yellow exclamation. I think that's the reason why i can't flash or fastboot

To install fastboot drivers install flashtool
http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
after installation navigate to flashtool folder in c drive, open driver folder
run the flashtool drivers setup, select flash mode and fast boot drivers and finish installation
put your phone in fastboot mode it will install the drivers automatically

Check USB Debugging is ON ? otherwise it wont work

USB debugging does not have to be activated to flash an FTF. Flashtool uses the same protocol as the official Sony Update Service and that doesn't require USB debugging to be activated.
How do you think you can flash on phones that don't even have anything on /system?

I tried flashing 4.4.2 on my 4.3 device and it was giving me the same error .. .When i Switched on USB Debugging , it fixed my problem ...

Coincidence. I've flashed roms on phones that haven't even had the developer options activated. USB debugging is only if you need to use ADB.
If it fixes the problem, then great, but there's no reason why it should and it would confuse me greatly if it did.

I saw one of the driver failed to installed, if it not related with flash mode driver then let it be...that driver you install from flashtool by androxyde?
If yes the driver should not be the problem anymore..
I use driver from flashtool too located at disk C/flashtool/driver...it install successfully without any problem..
May i know what's your phone condition before you start flashing? Is it working fine before?
