please tell me you installed xrecovery. if so then boot into xrecovery and restore a backup
option 2use pc companion to restore.
hi, i had x recovery installed on my x8 which was rooted, i had upgraded to froyo bread but was having issues with the camera, so i dowloaded a new rom, and tried xrecover to install the new rom. but kept getting md5 checksum errors.
i have just downloaded flashtools to try and re write the firmwear, but it wont see my phone.
its stuck at the sony erricson boot screen, and the flash tool is reporting the phone has usb de bugging turned off, so i guess it wont let me re flash the firmwear
ok. got pc companion trying to update the phone, fingers crossed
I think this might help you...
can you boot into recovery again??

yep fingers crossed.
p.s i think it says md5 sum error because something was rewrote. title maybe?
Thank you
hello again, thank you for your help. my phone is now opperational again.
i used pc companion to re write a copy of the original firmwear, and everything is now working fine, just as it was when i purchased it new. phew.
cant thank you guys enough.
i was actually trying to change my os when this happened. from froyo to gingerbread. the version i downloaded used md7?? (i am new to all this and dont fully understand) but my phone was looking for md5, something like that.
got the fun job of rooting it again now lol.
what is the best android version for the x8 that still alows for the use of the camera?

Flashtool?
- Grab it, enable USB-Debugging on your phone, connect it to the computer.
- Press "Ask root perm" and keep an eye at your phone - you need to confirm a superuser request.
*Achievement unlocked*
- Press the now unlocked "xRecovery" button to inject xRecovery
And remember that you can also root your phone from Flashtool.
PC Companion... Update Service... Hah!... Useless crap since we got Flashtool... Sony Ericsson doesn't release any more updates for the X8 anyway, so it's kinda useless as the Android drivers can be installed manually without the need to install PCC or SEUS.
hi everyone....
my brother updated his xperia tx to jelly bean using flash tool before 3 hours... nothing showed in flashtool or the phone about any problem in flashing
in the last hour the phone started to restart & freeze
it's freezing suddenly & you cannot do anything but taking out the battery
can a factory data reset help?? also we have a backup on PC companion so is it recommended to return it on the phone??
Try repair option in PCC.
Tapatalked from my TX
i have problem using FXP212.
My TX goes in endless rebooting. Tried flashing again but same luck. I m downloading FXP210 to try now.
i did repair but its same thing i don't know what to do with it anymore, i would like help if anyone could give

Did you do the repair or did you restore the backup?
Click on the update software option and then when it says you have the latest software click on repair my firmware

which one! I asked if you repaired or restored a backup.....
If you repair the phone it should be exactly like a factory shipped phone.
My only other thing to say will be have you got anything in your sd card (Both internal or external) that may be causing this? Any init.d scripts that reduce voltage etc...try deleting the contents of the sdcards and repairing again. (Obviously back anything up you want to keep)

i did repaired twice from PC companion and did once i think from the phone itself, and i don't have Scards its only the phone internal storge..
when i did it first in flash tool it didn't give me any error and then i did repaired it twice from pc companion however whats strange in ICS i never had the reboot problem
and if i remember correctly it only delete the programs etc, but the photos/music etc it never left the phone with both options i did...
so you suggesting to also wipe internal storage and repair to see if it reboot or not? i already have back up for all stuff so it won't hurt to try
thanks alot really for helping and sorry for my bad english ^^;
If you have a backup then try it.
Have you got a bootloop or do you have some reboots? What i mean is, does the phone actually boot up and only reboot occasionally or is it just bootlooping?

Sent from my LT30a using xda premium
so now i did wipe to internal storage and did repair and such now im facing new problem the phone turn off and and when i try to switch it on...it wont work i have to remove battery and insert it again to make it work, any idea?

Are you using Sony PC Companion?
If you want to backup your apps and their data as well, then you'll need to make a backup with the 'Backup and restore' app on your phone too, because PC Companion can only backup /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1, not /data.
Note: this app cannot restore paid apps, so you need to reinstall those first from Google Play and then restore your backup to restore their /data.
Okay, I justflashed a generic .534 firmware through Flashtool (I was on .257 and I wanted to downgrade so I could root my phone) and the first time it said I had no space on my hard drive so I cleaned it a bit then I started again and it flashed perfectly but during the end of flashing i saw this:
02/009/2013 11:09:33 - WARN - This file is ignored : simlock.ta
anyway the flashing ended with a message "Flashing Finished.
When I turned on my phone I could go to Home as I got the error "com.android.phone has stopped working" and that error was repeating along with "Camera has stopped working". I could access all apps through Google Search but I can't go to Home. What the hell is happening?
That warning in flastool is fine.
To stop the problem with force stop just clear the cache /data for those apps

But I can't find com.android.phone in the Applications settings.
Damn you answered too late I just started a phone repair on PC Companion and it's already downloading the necessary files...:crying:
At least I hope this fixes it...
Nevermind guys, I did a factory reset on my phone and it fixed it. Of course, now I have to reinstall all my apps (thank god I did some screenshots of my settings as the Backup app didn't work on PC Companion).

i used cwm to wipe my phone but i did not flash it with rom instead i rebooted the phone & now it's stock on the Sony logo. please help this is not even my phone
i did try to use flashtool to flash stock tft but unknown sources & debugging must be enabled but the phone is stuck on the Sony logo so i can't even enable these settings. please if you can help then do,thanks very much
the phone's boot loader is locked by O2 & i had lollipop for LBL installed but it was getting very laggy so i tried to install another rom when i then messed up everything !!
1.Flashtool needs USB Debugging for Rooting ur Device, not Flashing
So don't worry about it, go for flashing
2.In Case u Wipe Entire Phone I.e.System, Data, Cache then the Phone won't skip the Boot Logo
According to me, the Recovery should b Accessible, So flash any ROM present in the Storage (if its urgent for u to have the phone working)
OR
Use Flashtool, it will help you recovering ur Phone
Go for the Flash tool method, read the Procedure Carefully
Good Luck

i managed to do it ,windows 10 64bit did not work so i booted to 2nd partition with win 7 32bit this also gave me lots of trouble for 2 hours but closing the flashtool app & disconnecting the phone few times & just as i was about to give up it's started to flash stock jellybean 4.1.2 & now the phone is working & currently the sony Companion app is updating it i think to 4.3 jelly bean. i will not mess no more with this phone,lollipop for LBL is a no go & because O2 locked the bootloader i will just keep it the way it is & just customise it with smart launcher & lock screen. thanks very much for your comment as it would have made me not give up & try again tomorrow. i appreciate it

I assume that you have tried the RR (5.0.2) LBL Bug-Fixed by Skulltus, if not then give it a try since LBL Users are finding it somewhat stable...
Reasons why Phone wasn't getting detected can be:-
>Improper Downloading of File - Make sure you don't Pause and Resume the Downloads too many times, so that it becomes corrupt
>Wire-- Use a Sony USB Cable only or a Good one ( i use Samsung's Cable for the Timebeing) -- Improper wires can be a reason why the Phone can't get detected by The PC...
>Try Another USB Port to Connect the Phone if it doesn't get detected by one...
These things happened with me Many times, Just Sharing it
Happy Flashing :good:

i have installed skultus bugfree 5.0.2 last night & it kept throwing a constant error (system UI crashed) i wasn't able to use the phone because this error when i hit ok it will comeback instantly so i thought it's not compatible,maybe i got the error because installation says ((1. Make you sure your device is LBL with .207 stock kernel, )) but my stock kernel is not 207 the firmware version ends with 205 , i have tried the sony companion to update but it said latest firmware is already installed. what do you think about this ?

i know about rooting & flashing roms in zip format via recovery but yes i'm new to installing roms & kernels via the flashtool & not a big fan of it either.
Hey, I'm in pretty much the same situation here, except I am having a few problems which are keeping me from going back to the stock firmware.
1) The phone keeps restarting when it's in flashmode - meaning it's sitting there for 30 seconds or so with flashmode and the green light, and then disconnects and turns back on into flashmode. This is keeping me from being able to flash anything because the device disconnects through the process.
(Yes, I did try reinstalling the programs, updating drivers, restarting computer, using a different usb port/cable etc)
2) I did manage to make it stay connected somehow last night BUT flashtool would give me errors involving .sin's of some kind. I could get past all this by flashing the stock firmware using "repair my phone/tablet" in Sony PC Companion, which I have done twice before so I can confirm it works - but for some bizarre reason the software started saying that there is no firmware available for my device!
Please help!
2->If you have already flashed A Firmware via Flashtool and u want to perform another,
then you have to RESTART it (the App) Otherwise it will show
Unable to Flash "System.sin" as you said
1-->I guess Flash Mode has A Time limit to get connected with the PC, if not then definitely its the wire Problem...Wires should be in good condition

I didn't try the LBL ROM since I Unlocked the Bootloader but still,
In All ROMs when I install an app from the SD Card, they get vanished on rebooting.... It reads the SD Card and the App Appears
I guess there's a "Move to Phone" Option in it, try doing that for those apps installed in SD Card
There should be an Option of-
"Preferred Install Location" either in
--Settings->Apps(Select the Menu)>Preferred Install Location
OR
--Settings->Storage->Preferred Install Location
Default Option can be "Let the System Decide"
Change it to Internal Storage

ok but this means all apps will be installed to the internal memory & one of the reasons why i wanted lollipop is the ability to install some apps to SD . i just need to fix this write to SD issue & i will be good to go.
