[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] Help! Did I screw up flashing my phone?

I have an Xperia Z1 C6903.
After updating to kitkat, I was disgusted by the new battery life, so looked up how to flash my phone back to jellybean.
I followed a guide I cannot link to in my first ten posts:
xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/42-sony-xperia-z1-c6903
(Number 2 - flashing to 4.3).
I used the FTT linked there and the flashpro linked there.
Ran fine, here is the log: dropbox.com/s/13883t74e20b61k/flashtool_2014-04-14_06-25-39.log
After completion, I unplugged, booted phone, and now it is stuck in a reboot cycle. Seems to crash during the flare animation screen.
Please help! I've stopped the reboot cycle by running it in flash mode, then disconnecting it from the PC. As soon as I turn it on, the cycle begins again.

Thank you, this has made the phone functional again. Unfortunately lost messages and such, but not too bad...
I guess I'll run with kitkat a while to see if the battery issue has resolved. If it hasn't, is there a better flash file I can use, or a safer method of going back to jellybean?

There is a CWM flashable stock ROM available.
You should ask some people here how you can use fastboot to flash recovery to your phone (i am more or less a n00b, but did something similar to my xperia once). Ideally I would recommend TWRP, from within TWRP you can mount your phone as USB storage, copy the flash zip and flash it using TWRP.

[Q] Cannot get Xperia SP into recovery.... Stuck on Sony Logo!

Hi there,
I'm still very new to this so I'm gonna try to describe this the best way that I can.
Basically I have a Xperia SP C5303 and I was getting frustrated of it being slow and keyboard failing to pop up - these are just a few of the issues I had with this phone. I had previously downloaded the 4.3 update for the phone. So basically I thought "let me try to update it to 4.4". So I google the update and put in on the SD card on the phone. So I enter recovery, and follow the instructions (wipe all user data) and then I go to install the "cm-11-20150412-NIGHTLY-huashan.zip" It then came up with an error saying it could not be installed. So i'm panicking here and did the mistake of restarting the phone. Now the phone is stuck on the Sony logo and I cannot get it into recovery no matter pressing the up and down volume button.
Can anyone please help me? I do not have a phone now and as a man I am not afraid to say it made me shed a tear or two a bit.... But anyways, if you can please help. Thank you you wonderful people.
Hello you managed to solve? or you still need help?

Hello my friend, I assume you´re on locked bootloader, right?
If it is so, you flashed the wrong Rom. Anyway, don´t panic - not a big problem.
When you have restarted your phone, you started it without any system. No wonder, that doesn´t work
Ok. let´s go:
First, you have to flash a new stock Rom. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
Second step - root it and install a recovery. Got to the thread of our Guru Doomlor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354704
read the steps carefully, so you can´t make any mistake!
Step three - on locked bootloader you can only flash a Rom for LBL!!!
If you want a CM11 Rom I recommend bagyusz´CM11 Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735975
If you will follow all the steps you will have back an excellent CM11 Rom with much, much fun.
Goodl luck, reinipic.:fingers-crossed:

Hi, what do you mean with "tried all the steps"???
Did you flash a stock .ftf Rom with Flashtool?
It is nearly impossible to brick the XP.
Please give me more details, what you´ve done.

Hi, what do you mean with "tried all the steps"???
Did you flash a stock .ftf Rom with Flashtool?
It is nearly impossible to brick the XP.
Please give me more details, what you´ve done.

I've downloaded the .ftf file onto my laptop, but getting my phone to open the file is an issue because when i connect the SP onto the laptop, it switches on the phone but has been stuck on Sony logo for the past couple of hours. The Recovery_SP.zip and DooMLoRD are both not picking up the phone as plugged in on USB drivers.

ok. listen: give away the back cover of your phone - there ist down the RESET BUTTON! Press him for a few seconds, until the phone vibrates three times! Then ist is switched off.
Now you can start flashing
