now its rooted and i want to install different roms what should i do i mean what should be my next step? should i install Clockwork Mod recovery if yes then how??

Next Step
If you just wanted to install ROM's then you didn't have to unlock boot loader
you could have just rooted it using superoneclick or the way you did and install a recovery by following the link in the following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921652
then press backspace during load to enter recovery , full wipe(if your now in stock rom)and install custom.zip or update.zip of any rom you like(that works on stock kernel) and reboot.
But since you are unlocked...you can install a better faster kernel like naa or alf
by following the thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350484
(you search for alf yourself in development forum)
and then install a rom that uses these kernel the same way using recovery or flash tool if you hav ".ftf"

1 more thing i want to install Clockwork mod instead of xrecovery how to do that ?
2ndly in order to check bootoader on HTC cellphone we press power button + volume down button
how to check bootloader on X8?

Never Installed Clock Work Mod
I have Never Installed Clock Work Mod...but it always seems to come with all ROM's I install. First I install xrecovery and install any popular ROM....n then TADAA i have CW MOD
Anyway you can install it using x8 toolbox by going here,

On PC: Go to Alfs kernel thread--> download Alfs v07 kernel--> place it to /flashtool/firmwares, run flashtool, select flash (lightning icon), select Alfs v07, click ok. On phone: Turn off phone, press back button and hold it, attach phone to PC while pressing back button, green led appears, release back button, let the PC work. When Flashtool give the "flashing finished" message, unplug the phone. Turn it on. When it shows kernel logo, press back repeatedly to enter recovery. Install custom.zip, choose your ROM, wait, reboot.
This should work. If not, try PC companion or Sony Ericcson Update Service.

XPERIA X8 boot problem

I installed ICS on my XPERIA X8 and it freezes at boot. And I cannot go to recovery mode, where is my backup. I know I need to use FlashTool but I don't know how to use it, because it says:

Hot to connect the phone?
With " Press and hold back button then plug in the usb cable"?
Now I can flash it but it isn't reboot just say device disconnected, then device connected in flash mode, then device disconnected, then flashing aborted

nearly the same problem here trying to unlock the bootloader on my E15i.
Would appreciate if anyone has a suggestion how to overcome this.Thanks

Try this

IF you have stock ROM for X8, you can flash with flash tool..
the first, hold volume down in your phone and plug usb kabel to computer..
see your phone have green light, its flash mode.. )
and then go to flash tool, and all its works..

.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

What?! First of all - not volume down but BACK button.
In flashtool directory You will have drivers folder. Install those drivers. Then reboot Your PC. Copy Your firmware package into firmwares in flashtool directory (.ftf files). Than run flashtool, click on flash, choose the package, click ok, flashtool will aks You to connect Your phone in flash mode. Plug USB cable into PC. Plug in USB cable into phone and while doing this You must hold back button. And flashtool should recognize Your device and start flashing.

Thank you! You saved my phone's life!
I'm trying GingerDX now, and I making an ''XPERIA X8 MEGAPACK''

Anyway, I do not know why this is:
When I first installed gingerDX i have installed many apps. And when I'll removed this backup, and I installed this rom again, the phone freezes at the boot screen.
(I know how to do it. I flashed the stock rom from my backup, and It is working. But I cannot make a backup from this rom

Because You should do a full wipe When You install ROM again there are some files from old one. And this may cause boot problem

Hi, I've tried this but it doesn't work. My phone just keeps rebooting itself after SE logo animation is done. What can i do?

Boot prroblem ICS
I've tried ICS for stock kernel, but it isn't boot! But i want to try it!

Dude... just flash a stock SE rom via Flashtool and its done

Generally speaking, bootloops imply you are missing the x15 Baseband required for custom ROMs to work: Follow the mediafire link in B.Jay's profile and find the x15 Baseband corresponding to your X8 version (It's in the sticker under the battery)... Hope this helps.

[Q] lost flashmode (only able to run fastboot mode)

It seems my LT30p lost flashmode.
After upgrading to 7.0.A.3.195 via "Sony PC Companion 2.1" I flashed the older LT30p_4.0.4_Vodafone.ftf with the flashtool to get back root option.
All works fine.
Now I want to flash the "LT30p_7.0.A.3.195_Vodafone_DE.ftf" I created from the "Sony PC Companion" folder with flashtool.
My problem is, the phone only is able to go into fastboot mode (irrelevant pressing volume down or up).
I re-installed the flashtool-drivers without any improvements.
What have I done and how am I able to get back the flashmode mode for my phone?
Thanks in advance.

You seem to be going around the houses. If you flash that you will lose root again. The only way to root on .195 is with an unsecure kernal and unlocked bootloader.
Just upgrade again through pccompanion and then unlock bootloader and flash advanced stock kernel v4.

Thank you. I know that at first I lost root again.
I thought (and that's I understood from that post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33568696&postcount=48) that it will possible to flash the ftf file instead of using the "PC Companion" software. I am not happy to lose my holo hd launcher's settings e.g.
I hoped it will work as you described here:
Part 2. Rooting
If you are on 7.0.A.1.303, follow Bin4ry's method from post 2.
If you are on 7.0.A.3.195, follow the other method in the how to root section from post 2.

OK, There is no such thing as flashboot mode. Its either flashmode or fastboot.
Try this
download and install latest flashtool.
Goto driver folder and install drivers for fastboot/flashmode/xperia tx
Then open flashtool and drag and drop the .ftf you want to flash into the open window of flashtool. Wait untill flashtool tells you to connect phone.
Turn phone off, count to 10, hold volume down button and connect usb cable

The phone never goes to flashmode since flashing the older ftf, only in fastboot mode, no matter if I hold the bottom down or up button.
That's the problem. I don#t know what happend to the phone, but there is no flashmode any more.
It might be, that there is no flashmode with that ftf?

No, flashmode should always work. Restart phone, restart computer and try again. Make sure you are pressing the very bottom of the volume down button
Try updating via pccompanion.

I did all of them more than once except using PC Companion. Thank you.
I will not use this tool, because it's not my favor to re-install the halo hd gui and moving other tools via root explorer. I'll wait for OTA, if vodafone germany will rollout 7.0.A.3.195 via ota.
If not, I'll see and look further. But I explain, this has been my first and also my very last Sony Smartphone.
thanks again.

You give up too easily.
Uninstall flashtool and all sony software from your PC and reinstall.
Also, you can make a backup of your system using recovery and flash your /data back in recovery after you have sorted the problem.
Personally, i will never get another phone other than sony.

Thanks again, I am familiar with CWM. I used many different roms with my Galaxy S1 and later with my SIII, too.
With Samsung flashing firmware / custom roms is much easier then with Sony Xperia.
I installed all the needed stuff on an other computer I have in my household and voila it works.
I flashed the rom without wipe data and it works, still without root.
After unlocking boot loader and flashing the V4 comes the shock: all my apps are gone and I have to re-install all my stuff, accounts, gui and so on. I hate that work. Okay, Titanium Backup helps, but it costs many time to get back that system I have had previously.
CWM is a great thing to flashing ROMs and kernels, too. Also great if you want to restore an full image, but to restore (user) data often Titanium Backup is the better choise. But that are only my two cents.

If you read the whole of the instructions from the SOny site about unlocking the bootloader it clearly states that all data will be lost and that you should make a backup of it.
Certain content on your phone may also be inaccessible due to the removal of DRM security keys and the secure user data partition while unlocking the boot loader. We advise you to create backups, since user data, settings and accounts will be removed.

enable usb debugging, and try again.
if it didnt work out, use another computer.

pretty much sure that your bootloader is not unlocked.
"First of all I had GingerDX. Then I open recovery selected system/ and etc. all format, also full wipe. Then my phone turning on and only show Sony Ericsson. "
it gets stuck at sony logo because you formatted the system.. there is no rom to boot

Yes.
Now I have second problem:

HOW turn on phone in debugging mode?
I try turn phone to flash mode, but msm7227_semc.cmd file not working

Press any key to continue . . .
Getting ROOT rights.

X8 flashing problems
Hey I will tell you what to do.
First of all install Sony Ericsson Update Service or SEUS. Just Google it and you can find it easily!
Now connect your phone to your computer via USB cable.
Start SEUS.
Then follow the on-screen instructions.(You will be asked to select your phone model,update or repair your phone etc)But its easy!!!!!
Then leave the rest to SEUS.
It will first repair your phone,then download the stock rom and kernel and also the baseband and will automatically install them.
After that you will have your X8 on stock rom,it will be updated to the latest baseband and kernel.
Now you will be able to comfortably restart your phone and you can install custom roms from here!!!!!
Don't forget to say THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another kernel was installed with no errors. Why CM not install, but JB install?

Xperia SP almost dead after flashing. Need help.

I flashed my Xperia SP with from Jellybeam to CM13 rom. I didn't create any backup, wiped clean everything including cache using twrp recovery. While the setup installed CM13 without any error but I downloaded the wrong gapps and the setup didn't accept those. So I chose to reboot the cell and since then it just stopped responding. Although it is showing the green led while plugged in via USB, it won't start in neither fastboot nor recovery mode.
I'm stuck here and have no idea what to do.
I tried installing PC companion, flashtools, SP flashtools, emma, everything. None of these detect my cell. I'm using Windows 10 (64 bit) and am at a dead end.
Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE:
I managed to flash it with errors and now it's stuck in a SONY logo bootloop. Its starts, shows SONY logo for a while and then turns off again. Again it's not getting recognised by any flash tool, sony companion etc.
Help please.

Installed the driver and flashed it with a rom but it's still stuck on the SONY logo. One more thing, It's bootloader wasn't unlocked when I messed up at the beginning. What can I do to save my phone?

Whether I try to flash it or unlock, phone boots up before the process is completed. I'm completely stumped here.

Hey!
Sad to hear, but maybe (I hope) this method will help you. Basically what you will get is an original Xperia SP with 4.1 android as it came from the factory.
You will need:
1. Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde" version 0.9.18.6. Don't know if newer version came or better. You can find it here in forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489955
2. The basic ROM "12.0.A.2.254".
The method that helped me:
SP turned off. Cable not connected.
Start Sony Mobile Flasher (Flashtool) , give administrator rights.
Top left cornet click on the bolt and choose flashmode, then in firmware selector you can find and select the downloaded ROMs and kernels. Choose the official 4.1 (12.0.A.2.254). Click falsh so it starts to proceed.
Then a windows appears called "wait for flashmode".
Now. Grab your turned off SP press volume down and connect the usb to pc. Keep holding volume down button till flashtool starts to upload the system. (Hopefully it will be fast enough, and phone will not turn on. For me it was)
After flashtool is finished you will see:
09:50:53 - INFO - Flashing finished.
09:50:53 - INFO - Please unplug and start your phone
09:50:53 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
09:50:54 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
Unplug and start the SP
If everything went as planned you have your phone back with stock 4.1 and 12.0.A.2.254 kernel.

Thanks a lot brother. At first it didn't work when I flashed it with the latest version of Flasher. Then I installed the exact version you mentioned (0.9.18.6) and phone didn't boot during the flashing and now it's back to normal with the default 4.1 stock.
Thanks a bunch, you're a life saver for me. :highfive:
