Hy all, my X8 was frozen while installing CM 7.1 Stable, then it turned off. When I tried to turn it on it stuck at the SE logo, then freezed. I tried to get into my recovery and recover my phone, but I couldn't. Then i tried to repair it via PC Companion, but it said: ,,Your ip address is not allowed to update or repair brown phone. Please conect to the SEMC network." . Then I tried to flash 2.1 via Flashtool but it said install or reinstall my drivers. I did it, but the error came up again. Now I don't know what should I do to repair my X8. People said I should use SEUS but I couldn't find a working one for X8. If you can help me, please do!
Thanks for reading this thread, ChongWiz.
Sorry for bad english, I'm hungarian.
Install Gordon's Gate drivers inside flashtool's directory. Then try to flash newest original update by pressing back button through flashing. Flashtool should find your device and install smoothly. If you still have problems with drivers install newest PC Companion.

This may sound funny but it is real. Try the same process what you have done in another computer. I had the problem as you in my laptop. When I tried the process on my desktop computer it was like butter and I restored my phone software in just 15 mins.
I cant say the reason or logic behind but it worked.
Just have a try, you may succeed as me.
U can simply go to cybercafe or just work with another computer that all..
cheers
problem:
My friend had accidently deleted his \system folder and due to that,the phone on rebooting was stuck at the sony ericsson logo and would not go any further
solution:
1) charge the phone
2)download SEUS
3)connect usb port to pc.
4)Launch SEUS
5)When asked to plug the phone,plug the USB into the turned off phone(by removing and reinserting battery) and press the <-- and power button together and keep pressed until led turns green
6)the phone will be updated via SEUS

HIT THANKS IF THIS HELPED
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.

Hi.
I am pretty desperate and out of ideas with my X8 right now. I was just trying to flash in xRecovery this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393520 , but my phone now is bricked. I know that its only for custom kernel, but I was just about to try it with the stock one. So when i have done flashing, I rebooted, and since then i was just stuck on boot logo "Sony Ericsson". PCC recognizes my phone but I cant access recovery menu. I was trying PCC and flash tool, and im stuck at step where its going to flash it. I hold back button as its written there, but my computer doesnt regognize anything (on the phone the green light shows on, does it mean that it is in flash mode? i really dont know, sorry). I have been searching around and i installed latest Gordons Gate (driver). I dont think so its hard bricked, because i´m having locked bootloader. Anyone can help me? I will REALLY appreciate it
ah..if it has SE then it still living ...use PCC
heres how i did it ..
1.enter PCC
2. click Support zone ( dont connect your phone )
3.wait for it to download (if i am right it will start a download? not sure)
4.at phone software update click start
5.it will say cant find phone then you click repair phone..
6.follow instructions =)
(DONT CONNECT YOUR PHONE YET )
at least you have a SE logo ...my phone got totally brick from unlock bootloader =(
next time try it with the kernel needed eh
use a flashtool to unbrick your device.
when you hold back button whilst plugging in and there is green light there still is some life in there. just do what has been said already.
thank you guys, i already repaired it with flash tool, my problem was that my computer doesnt recognized my X8 when it was in flash tool so i installed PC Companion, it automatically installed drivers and i could have done flashing
Please help i just isntalled new ROM for my xperai x8 and now when i restarted it it is stuck at SE logo and stays there.I tried to enter to xrecovery but it cant enter like i dont have xrecovery but i actually do. Now when i try to put my phoen i nflash mode it says taht my usb device isnt recognised but it was a day ago. Moreover i reinstalled windwos usb drivers and Xperia SEMC flash drivers to see if this is the problem but its not it still cant recognise it so i am stuck at SE logo , xrecovery cant run , myPC doesnt recognise the phone in flash mode.... Please help !
This method will install the original software on your X8!
If you have Sony PC Companion 2.1 on your PC, then uninstall it, and download and install Sony PC Companion 2.1, again! If not, then PC Companion might not recognize your phone. After installing do the following:
- 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.
yes

It doesn't work it says that Pc companion was not able to connect to the device. I tried many things bu pc companion just cant connect my phone and windows keep saying that error that i am plugging unknown device which is a bull**** the day before it was working fine...
For all people who didnt understand iCANT ENTER IN FLASH MODE I MEAN I CAN BUT ITS NOT RECOGNISED so i cant update my software.

Hey there, my phone isn't bricked...but I think I have too much data (possibly conflicting roms installed at the same time??) and I wish to reset my phone to its original status... I wish to re-install a ROM on it, but I want to start fresh again by removing the rooting programs or what have you..
Would following these steps put it all back to its original setting, also meaning that I could completely wipe the SD clean?
If so, would this mean I would have to re-root my X8? Not that it would be a problem but I would just like to know if it would be needed!
Thanks!

if you want to restore the stock rom (original androdi on xperia x8) with pc Comapnion than you dont need to root it again. But if you want to change it to custom rom and you have done full wipe i think you should root it again (rooting is done so taht you can change the busybox version of the phone and upload xrecovery if you have those you don't need to root)

Why don't you download the store Rom annd use Flashtool to flash it? Then you may be able to upgrade to latest revision with PCC.

Yeah, I lost you somewhere... If after taking out the battery, you CAN NOT enter xrecovery or CWM, then, you either can try THIS THREAD <--- go on, click on it!, or, you have to do what I had to do a couple of times, which is to restore your X8 to its original state, and to do that with Sony PC Companion, you first have to UNINSTALL your current PC Companion!!! THEN, restart your PC, and install a clean version of Sony PC Companion 2.1!
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION of PC Companion, YOU STILL HAVE TO UNINSTALL IT, AND INSTALL IT AGAIN!!! IF YOU DON'T, THERE's a 99% CHANCE THAT PC COMPANION WILL NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE!!! ...I don't know why, but it's probably some marketing trick, since I once used this method 3 times in a row, then the fourth time PC Companion didn't recognize my X8. This happened on both, the old PC Companion, and the current Sony version 2.1. I tested them both on purpose, to eliminate the possibility that I damaged my X8's hardware somehow, during a high speed impact collision with the bedroom wall...
Once you reinstall Sony PC Companion 2.1, go back to my first post to your problem, and follow it step-by-step.
AND yes, if you want to install custom ROM's again, then you will have to ROOT your phone again, and UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER, etc...
BUT, if it's a soft-brick, then you might be able to redeem yourself
ViVA FIDELINO!
how about kernel?

>> how about kernel? for example your phone allready back to 2.1 rom and you are using custom kernel before i done this update? like kernel aA-11? is it possible to turn on phone even if im using custom kernel? please give me steps how to bring it back, because im currenty using mini cm7 / kernel aA-11, and i want to bring back my xperia x8 to original rom and kernel
Try downloading the stock rom and a diff version of flashtool. I can't remembet which version is most recommended (try searchibg xda - i read it here). install drivers in flashtool's driver folder (gordon's gate) then try again. Almost the same thing happened to me. PCC won't recognize my phone so I couldn't install the drivers.

The best way, if u still can't get on your phone , is take it to the SE Customer care. And don't tell a word about rooting or anything. Just ask them to repair the phone, saying that one morning, the SE logo kept on popping up.

Hey everyone,
I'm afraid that I may have nerfed my phone and I'm hoping someone can help me.
I was trying to root my phone so that I could attempt to fix the bad microphone volume issue. I tried following some directions I found on digitalendpoint dot zendesk dot com. I'm not allowed to post the actaul url.
I got all the way to the end of step 5, but when I issued the "fastboot reboot" command my phone restarted but once it displays the Sony / Xperia logos for a few moments it reboots, and continues this cycle indefinitely. :crying:
I can get my phone back in to fastboot, and when I enter fastboot devices I see my phone listed. However, adb cannot see the device.
Is there any hope???

Do you have the correct drivers installed on the PC for your phone?
If the phone still fires up then you can fix it.
The easiest method is to install PC Companion and follow these instructions.
If you are determined to use a custom rom then you might want to read this post
I have the correct drivers. Unfortunately, I can't use PC Companion. I says that my phone has been modified (which is true) and refuses to flash the latest stock rom. However, I was able to restore my phone. I found that both Flashtool and Emma worked.
