Please help, because I might have bricked my Xperia V!
I wanted to install CyanogenMod 10.2.0 Stable Verion on my phone for the first time. I've backed up my TA partition and started following the CyanogenMod tutorial to unlock the bootloader and install CM on my Xperia under Windows 7 x64. Everything went well: I put the phone into fast boot mode and flashed boot.img, went into ClockworkMod Recovery, wiped everything, mounted sdcard0 and wanted to push the zip image with adb, which didn't work. I might have messed up the driver when installing the flash tool driver from Flashtool-drivers-1.5-20140318.exe because my phone was not recognized. Under Device Manager I had the yellow exclamation mark. I tried reinstalling drivers, reinstalled PC companion, but the phone wasn't recognized. I moved my phone to my other laptop which has Win7 32bit OS (I thought the drivers might work on the other system) but nothing changed. After installing drivers, my phone started doing weir things. I wasn't able to put it into fast boot mode. Sometimes the led was blue, but I got black screen, sometimes the CWM menu popped up, but exited after 2 seconds, but most of the time the led is red. If I leave the phone connected to the PC it goes into some kind of reboot cycle, as the Sony logo pops up for some seconds and then it goes away. I've tried to flash the stock firmware with Flashtool, but it always does the following:
21/031/2015 23:31:44 - INFO - Device connected in fastboot mode
21/031/2015 23:31:50 - INFO - Flash canceled

Can you please give me advise how to proceed? I didn't do anything with the phone while in CWM, just tried to get adb working on my other laptop, so I don't know whats wrong with it. PC companion is not even seeing the phone and now it's not showing up under Device Manager as well.
Issue resolved. Battery drained completely. CM is now installed, however my battery is acting weird since the CWM install. I'll keep testing.

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:

And I cannot flash the original image.
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.

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
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium
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.
EDIT: Update your FlashTool Version!!!! http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/

Why are you trying to flash x10 kernel on x8?
ouch, damn, I did not notice that.
That is Very Good ....
Is there anything to do with that?
You must install on your pc Gordon's gate flash driver and after reebot your pc.Then pcc and flashtool will recognize it.
nope Gordon's gate flash driver do not work either.
Everything was working fine, until I accidently flashed X10 kernel.
Now, It not even react when I connect phone to PC.
I am worried that X10 kernel had sets some higger voltages , or something else what ruined some hardware.
does the phone not turn on or it just stays at se logo? If the phone wont turn on you have a dead boot and this must be repaired using Jtag.

nope. i have flashed X10 kernels sometimes.. it does nothing. a simple reflash works. if it does not detect them i reboot pc or reinstall drivers
Phone do not turn on.
I tried restarting PC, and reinstaling drivers, but I think that shoud not be problem, when I worked before.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188486
I just get my phone X8 from repair service, where they repair it with JTAG and load new original ROM (Firmware).
And If I indentify phone in S1Tool I get NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK certificate.
But before repair SIMLOCK was recognized. And manufactured date on phone is 11W11.
Can I proceed with Bootunlock ? Or is there anything to do to get again simlock certificate recognized?
There is a screen from S1Tool

Restore the system. Use Sony PC Companion. And when you install, root and cwm.
Saludos.
EDIT:
When you install the drivers, it must be in usb debugging mode. Delete in windows system administration and connects to your pc othertime, but as you can't enter the system, you can't do it.
The restoration process is long. Pc Companion download the rom and then is installed. Make sure the phone has at least 30% battery (for internet download speed of 10mb), more is better. If you are in bootloop when you recharge or if you can't recharge, don't waste battery, located where is the option in PC Companion and when you have controlled, do it.
Good Luck.

Forget about PC Companion.
First totally disable PC Companion and then try with Flashtool again. I mean While using Flashtool PC Companion will b disabled in ur PC. Try it..
If u have C5302 Firmware means flash that.. Its very very easy bro. Dont know what happens with u .. try again the way i told
Guys problem solved
Did a factory reset and kept for charging for 1 hour
Fone restrtd automaticaly.
Thanks
To get it to C5302, just edit build.prop :wink:
Hi, I flashed the wrong rom for my z3. Now the problems are:
1. The phone won't charge, no matter I connect it to the wall charger or USB to computer. No charging screen, no battery icon, no boot. The phone gets warm a little bit then cool as nothing happened. Tried different charger, USB cables. Only red LED light is on. Tried + and power.
2. Tried to connect to computer. Get Flashtool, PCC, Emma ready then connect, but connot be detected. Followed all instructions. Used ruber band to hold the volume down key.
The message got from Flashtool is as below:
23/049/2015 08:49:15 - INFO - Preparing files for flashing
23/049/2015 08:49:47 - INFO - Please connect your device into flashmode.

As no phone detected, no process had.
WHat can I do now? Please give me some suggestion.

Have you tried Flashtool?
I tried to install Flashtool Drivers on my Windows 10 , but it fails for Google USB ... something, I tried this solution https://youtu.be/Ndr_gTuvomU?t=92 but when I go there the keyboard does not work to hit the "7" button lol
If I solved this problem and installed the driviers, how to know that my Xperia Z1 is Generic or Unbranded ? It's my first Sony Xperia phone ever came from Samsung ( crap phones )
You need to disable drives signature check (hold shift and restart the Windows using the option in the start menu). When prompted you will need to press the f7 in your keyboard (I'm not sure if this is the correct button, please Google it to be sure).
I did this and Installed the drivers and restarted the PC but when I connect the phone in flashmode it auto disconnects after 60 seconds every time :

It is probably because you didn't installed drivers properly. You should disable drivers verification on your pc. Google it. Then re install drivers and try again the procedure
