Hello Xda... I Can't Connect My bricked Phone to Pc. When i put it and turn it on flash mode it tells that failed to install the device drivers. Seus , PC Companion , Flashtool Can't Recognize it. can anyone help me? Thanks In advance.

First of all how you broke it? Second before you can proceed with seus or any other tool you need to install all drivers for your phone.....

How far does your phone boot-up?
Do you still see something on your screen?
Does the LED still light up (when connected to the charger/USB)?
If you haven't killed the boot-loader you should be able to recover the device with Flashtool ... if the boot-loader is dead I think there's no easy way to resurrect it.
Of course the unsolved question is if it would need a intact kernel as well AND if custom kernels actually support "Flash mode".

Finally I did it! Big Thanks to you. I Installed the drivers and it recognized. big thanks

Well, that's exactly from where Vlackrs and I already recovered our phones after a bad flash ("stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo").
Start Flashtool and select "Check drivers".
If it turns out as "OK" on all three checks it seems you have the drivers installed already.
If not ... try to install Gordon's Gate (should be included with Flashtool and called "ggsetup.exe").
Follow the instructions I wrote up here to restore the device.
Note that I did NOT use Flashtool 0.5 as 0.5.0.0, 0.5.0.1 and 0.5.0.2 failed to recognize the device (and yes, I replaced the "E15.properties" with the files posted in the Flashtool thread in the Development section) - Flashtool 0.2.9.1 did the trick for us.

Super Combo problem in my xperia x8.....

Well this is my first post here.
To be very short this is not a totally new problem. This is a combination of many problems that has made me totally helpless.
I had rooted my device using x8toolbox beta4, and installed a Gingerxperia V21 custom ROM.
After that i tried unlocking the bootloader, but flashtools continuously kept saying that my device was in MTP mode and strange enough there was no option in my phone's settings to change it.
So I went back to x8toolbox planning on installing the stock ROM back, when i saw busybox installer within.
I installed busybox 1.19.0 and then i asked x8toolbox to check the digitizer on my phone, AND THERE IT STARTED REBOOTING OVE AND OVER.
So now my phone can't connect to my pc for PCC repair or flashtools as MTP mode can't be switched off (and my phone won't turn on for the sd card to be read). And i am stuck with the Sony Ericsson Logo.
Please help me.....thanks in advance.

U have soft bricked your x8.
U can reset your x8 to original 2.1 with the help of following steps.
It's easy. Do it and rooted your phone again

Officially corp via W8

Or just try Flashtool

i think your problem is flashing driver.. try to install on /flashtool/drivers/ the name of drivers is gordon gate.. but if your have a same problem after installed drivers, check your drivers on my computer/drivers.. or try for flashing on other computer..

Thanks for your answer..... But as I said my phone is still in MTP mode and doesn't seem to snap out of it. As i plug in my phone it turns on the green light and then starts rebooting as usual. Is it my driver 's issue? or is it just the mtp mode?? flashtool also says the same thing..:crying:

U cant keep it longer.
Open flashtool then select firmware and ok.
Wait till a screen appear.
Now connect ur phone by holiding back button.

But flashtools shows ERROR and flashing aborted and says that for 2011 line devices make sure your device is not in mtp mode....
Flashtools doesn't work that way....

Good Luck.

[Q] Help! I think i bricked my x8

Hey guys, sorry if I write bad.
I tried to flash my x8 for put in the rom GingerDX v31b. Anyways... I think my USB cable was broken or something, when I tried to flash baseband 015, it was flashed but then I power on my phone and... Boom! That image appeared: a triangle with a exclamation sign and a phone .
It reboots again and again, my computer doesn't recognize the phone. I need help guys. Sorry for bad writing.
On the other hand.. I have my phone with unlocked bootloader, and I installed so much roms. Any question? sorry if I forgot something. Thank you guys and sorry again if I put the thread in the wrong place.

Ok you flash something but WHAT?
All i know that you have 11W16 and you can't hard brick that(unless you are really..... )
Anyway let's help you out
First of all,how many % did your battery have before flashing?
If under 10% then try to connect the charger
if it done't help keep reading
What did you do with flashtool--->FLASHING or UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER?
If FLASHING: What did you flash,please write down name of file
If UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER:
Try to turn on you phone--->If it won't turn on---->try to connect it to PC in flashmode so FLASHTOOL can recognize it
If FLASHTOOL can't recognize it try with PCC.....if that doesn't work either see does your phone have any Signs of life
If you'r phone is completly dead(no sign of life) than it's probably a HARD BRICK
I hope i helped :good:

big THANKS

First of all THANKS A LOT for your effort, I mean: really THANKS!!!
So let me tell you a story
It was my forth x8 phone that I've tried to install CM9 on and previously it went very well but yesterday I've did it in a hurry and forget to change the flash file on the flash tool and when I click on the magic button with the flash sign I've realized that the x8 was flashed with x10 firmware the default firmware on the flashtool program (really stupid mistake ). After that the phone turn off and went on haven.
After I cold my head and start to search for new x8 (to replace the broken one) I've realized that the phone has 24 month warranty and the first thing that I did this morning was to return the phone to the shop that was bot from.
I hope that some of you out there had 5 min lol session from my experience in the story, and please, If somebody else thinks that he knows how to do it without reading the manual - this are the consequences!!!
The only way to bring this phone alive is with riff jtag box that I didn't have.
P.S. **** happens

Yes a few people from forum flashed wrong firmware and got hard bricked....amm it's hard brick so they will replace your motherboard
I am glad to help

[Solved] Help!! Xperia Z bricked after trying to unlock bootloader

[solved] Sorry for my English first, I have been reading thousand thread but with no luck.
My xperia Z is
- locked bootloader
- no root
- didn't install driver properly (I guess)
I was trying to unlock bootloader, but the driver wasn't installed properly somehow as using flashtool even I followed step by step to install. Then, it got stuck for an hour at "Device connected in flash mode". I had to reset the device (power with - volume) with no choice. Now I keep rebooting at the colorful wave after Song logo.
I know flashtool is the only choice for me now, but i can't go in fastboot mode(- volume then plug in usb) because of the bad ADB driver probably. LED is no light (no blue, red, green) at all.
Also, ADB driver that i need to install now, but boot loop on my device is so swift that ADB driver doesn't have enough time to install to my device.
I am stuck at this stage for a few days. Any idea what I should do now???
PS: using latest flashtool

Since you have a locked BL, Flashtool isn't your only solution...
Install the correct drivers if you haven't already, after that use Sony's updating service to restore your phone.

I just tried sony's updaing service in which fastboot mode was needed.
Since i install the bad ADB driver, how can i install the driver at this stage? should I install from flashtool?
I did uninstalled the driver and install back again from flashtool. Fastboot mode doesn't seem to response at all means. I actually followed the step by step guide from flashtool thread, but i don't think i install the driver properly somehow.

Flash mode is volume down + connect the usb.

sorry i wrote it wrong, i did volume - then plug usb

Volume up + power for 15 seconds to shutdown your phone(3 vibrations).
Repair with Sony update service and don't forget volume down.
Or try another pc.

thanks for your reply again. Since i don't have another pc, any other means that I can get to the fastboot mode? (I can't install driver to my device properly because of bootloop perhaps)

Uhm, the drivers are installed on your PC, it should work on your phone no matter what.
Of course, you need to have installed the correct drivers and in the correct way. Try to reinstall the drivers (Sony Updating service will give you a link if I'm correct, use that one).
After that use another usb port and try it again.

Thanks for your reply.
prove me wrong if i say thing wrong. the ADB driver are installed on PC only and will not install on device? if so, no matter what my device status is, it should be able to connect to fastboot mode as long as it has enough battery?
Also, i just checked Sony Updating service that doesn't provide the driver and function like fasttool. Could you kindly send me the link of this driver so as to not screwing this up again?

You don't need fastboot drivers to use sony update service.
Anyway sus should install the drivers for you when you connect the phone by holding volume down.
You should download sus software not using the web update.
When you connect the phone go to device manager on your pc and check if all the drivers are ok and no yellow signs.

did you root or unlock bootloader? if so, SUS is not the procedure that you are looking for.

[Q] Help needed urgently

Hi all,
Not really sure where to post this, so firgured id put it under general questions. I am currently trying to flash android 4.2 to an Xperia Z1 thats currently running 4.4.4 kitkat. - Now feel i should mention at the start, that i am not particually brilliant with android, and am slowly learning the basics.
I am using a program called Flashtool, I have the file that I want to flash over (the 4.2) - I have also gone through the program to install all the drivers. ( I have installed all drivers as i didnt know what i needed and didnt need, and initially tried just installing the z1 drivers ) Flashtool picks up my phone, and tells me what its currently running, it also detects that what version of android i am currently running, but for some reason dosent pick up that ive tried to plug in my phone in flash mode.
The system detects when I start the phone in fastboot mode, but whenever I use Flashtools to try and connect my phone in flash mode, it just keeps asking me to connect the phone. ( I am using Z1 and the standard key is vol down whilst plugging it into the usb cable, however the l.e.d. flashes red and green quickly and then shuts off, cant even be sure that the problem is Flashtools, it might be that i havent put it into flashmode properly??)
any help would be brillant, feel free to contact me via the xda site, or via e-mail [email protected] -
This might be a particularly basic problem to somebody, its had me stumped for days, any help you could give would be massively appreciated,
cheers

Try Older version of flashtool or you are missing some drivers in flashtool folder is file with drivers and you need to check flashtool drivers and z1 drivers and firstly connect the phone and wait to install drivers and next turn off phone and hold vol down and connect without flashtool to install flashtmode drivers and at the end try to flash via flashtool.

If you are sure you have installed drivers correctly then kill any other process on your pc which use adb drivers like pc companion or airdroid etc. Or use other usb port. Or use other pc. Wrong thread though.
