so, before u got this prob, u can flash another kernel?
ehhmm..
use PCC or SEUS first
if its still not working flash this file to back into 2.1 X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf
make sure your drivers was installed correctly and your cable when plugging to your phone

Solved, flashtool always Was my saviour but not this time, somehow the drivers messed up and pc companion did the trick

[Q] Sony Ericsson text won't disappear

hi, I am having trouble booting my mothers' X8. She was using mini cm7 and it was starting to be very slow so I backed it up and flashed it again. flashing was completed successfully but when I tried to boot the phone, the Sony Ericsson text did not disappear. I left it running whole night but nothing happened. I can't even boot to xrecovery. What should I do now? Is there any way I can get the phone working again?
thanks a lot!

so I downloaded the stock kernel and flashtool, but the app won't recognize the device. it still shows that I should hold back button on my phone while plugging the cable. I was holding the button for about three minutes but nothing changed. what should I do?
edit: oh and the red LED is flashing.
edit2: nevermind, battery was drained. now I just need to find drivers for my x8

It's just soft brick so you should have flashtool and some ftf files for your device maybe stock firmware and baseband update so you can unbrick your soft bricked device for any time. Just enter the flash mode and flash it! That's it! Just some advice for you
PS. Don't say thanks. Click "Thanks"

[Q] Can't flash & maybe (soft?)bricked

Hello. I've had an X8 for a while, and I got tired of the MiniCM9 and wanted to go back to Eclair. So I downloaded an original firmware (my backups are lost in a damaged computer), got the last Flashtool and installed the " X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015.ftf " to my phone. But, now it only loads the Sony Ericsson screen and nothing else. I tried to flash it again several times, but I don't seem to be able to get into flash mode. I press the Back button while connecting, but nothing happens (until I release it, which is when the SE logo loads).
My phone is still responding to the charger and charging the battery with USB, but I can't do anything else.

try repairing using pcc or seus.

Both PC Companion and SEUS require me to press Back while connecting USB (flash) to proceed.

Follow the steps from here. Also download the correct .ftf file(2.1.1.A.0.6), not the baseband ftf file.

[Q] Black screen ! Tried resetting

Hi Guys, wondering if anyone could help ?
My Z1 has run into a black screen issue a few days ago. Was on it like usual in the morning and just went to a black screen when I locked it. Thought it froze fo left it a bit, but still wouldn't respond.
Tried Vol+ and Power and button next to sim card, discharging it, nothing works. It doesn't charge (no LED) and isnt recognised by the computer.
Can anyone help, or is it completely bricked ?

Please try and give us a clue, are you rooted, have you unlocked, which kernel, which rom, which firmware, what did you do just before this happened

Sorry,
Rooted
Re-Locked bootloader (Couldn't do no camera)
monXdifed v01.02-01
Stock kernel
And I think I was turning off the alarm or something, nothing specific

Charge it for several hours then use pccompanion to repair.
If that does not work, use flashtool

Thanks, tryning now. Will post back in the evening after work

Same issue
My Mrs z1 had same issue black screen and not charging today, but this is on non rooted stock firmware (non Modded) (t-Mobile UK)
Luckily holding power & Vol up rocker shut it down (3 vibrations) and fix the charging issue.
Fingers crossed. Haven't bothered to turn it on yet but will assume it will start up ok now. Will leave it on charge. and update this afternoon.
[edit]
Yup all good now.
I had a similar incident with my Xperia T when I first got it. Screen black and no way to see what was going on. Non modded again.
Without a logger running in the background there will be no way to know what is causing the issue.

Tried both PC companion and flashtool, and neither of them worked. Drivers are installed and tried with both holding vol up and vol down whilst plugging in but the computer didnt recognize the device

Any ideas anybody ?? Sorry for bringing it back up

run flashtool
choose ftf to flash
do not connect phone until prompted to do so by flashtool, when you do press volume down as you attach the usb cable..

Tried it and didnt work. When promted, I plugged it in and held vol down but it didnt recognize. The instructional animation went a bit crazy but I think thats just my computer

what computer do you have?
Windows 8?

Windows 7, 64bit. Did I maybe not install the drivers correctly ?

seems so,
run drivers.exe from flashtool and choose tx, fastboot and flashmode drivers

Tried installing flashmode, fastboot, tx and z1 drivers. Still the same things happening

Try another computer

Sony xperia zr Softbricked

hello. I was using an xperia zr with a ported slim rom which was working just fine except for an earphone problem related to roms above jeallybean 4.3. So in order to give the phone to a friend to use i tried to revert back to stock rom using flashtool which i have done a lot of times. There was no error. i booted into jellybean stock rom and the factory startup service message kept popping up so i went with the use the phone option. The phone was working fine for about an hour then while i was updating apps from google play it just switched off.when i rebooted it the phone would boot up till the sony logo and then power off. The phone gets detected in androxyde flashtool and i tried to flash other stock roms but i am facing the same issue of booting up to the logo and then switching off.
Anyone ever faced similar problems ? ANY IDEAS OR SOLUTIONS ?

Did you tick wipe data and cache in flashtool before flashing the rom?

Use different rom(Kitkat/lollipop)

take the battery out from phone and connect the micro usb to the phone.(do not plug the usb cable to computer now)
start the flashing process .
when it says to connect the phone by holding volume down button
insert the battery and plug the usb to computer by pressing vol down button.
