how to hard reset the x8, without turning on the device?
because it is freezing at the boot screen ...
you need flash by Flash tool or seus (or PCC)
before this problem happened, I turned off the USB debugging, so neither option is viable
If you use seus/pcc/flashtool,they are no need USB debugging,so you can use these tools to fix your phone.
i´ve got the same problem.

Pachira > As zxc79 and samyeung97hk said, you must use PCC, SEUS or flashtool to unbrick your phone.
any links with any good instructions
please
The easiest way is use PCC/SEUS,they'll have all instructions.
If they can't help you to fix your phone,try to use flashtool.

Turn the power off. If your Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
Hold the Left and right buttons located beneath the display
Press and release the Power button
Follow the on-screen instructions to hard reset your Xperia X8
What can i do please.. I didnt haved any applications on it, i only want to get back to Sony Ericson rom when i buyed it.. How can i ? please
my phone can't start
my x8 still won't start......
it still stuck on the rebooting logo........
it happen when i install the ansroid 2.2
when i restored the backu up file.........
it stuck on the sony logo........
it will be nice if i can start using my phone again.....
Try not to restore data if u flashing a new rom. Restoring data from different android version can cause such problem. Fresh install ur apps.
sent from my digital typewriter
I have same problem twice before this. (coz change custom rom )
I use SEPC. But ur battery must have atleast 50%.
If ur battery already 0% (can't on anymore), u must charge ur X8 by PC.
Becoz when u charge by charger, battery still 0%.
So, just plugin ur X8 at PC and wait 2-3 hour.
Then open SEPC and follow the step 1 by 1.
Just do this
Install pc companium
Take battery out of phone
Plug in usb cabel to pc and device
Then open pc companium select repair phone and wait to it says connect phone then put back battery, and hold back button until the install begin...
Dont forget to press thank button

Use SEUS
I know this is an old thread, but I was able to solve this issue yesterday. My symptom: the phone wouldn't start. It didn't even get to the Sony Ericsson logo. The only thing it did when I pressed the on/off button was vibrate.
In this state, all other suggestions here don't work, because they need a working phone. Even SE's PC Companion needs a working phone.
The solution is Sony Ericssons Update Service (SEUS). This is tricky, because SEUS is not an official download for this phone. However, if you go the SE's site and search for software for another non-android phone, you'll find it. I used the W910 phone.
Install it and just follow the instructions on the screen (basically, with the phone off, connect it to the USB cable while pressing the back key). It will install the official 2.1 android! You'll have a restored phone ready for 2.3 and beyond!
I tried Sony Ericsson PC Companion when my phone was stuck on bootscreen. In my case, a small dialog box came up in the right lower part of the screen which said "Your X8 is connected".
If this doesn't work; open PC Companion, klick on "Uppgrade your phone". Then choose "Restore your phone". Then follow the onscreen progress and your phone will be reseted and should work normaly.
Of course the phone has Android 2.1
Firstly, read other forum's, @Denoo start a new thread.
The easiest way is to unlock with SEUS. How?
1. Download SEUS http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/mobilephones/downloads/subject/updateservice/elm?cc=hr&lc=hr (Click on download now, don't worry, it isn't just for Elm, it's for all phones)
2. Install & start SEUS and follow on-screen instructions - Turn off your phone, press and hold back button and put usb cabel in the phone (still pressing the back button), then when the download starts, stop pressing the back button.
3. When installation finishes, turn on your phone.
Note: On your phone is all data deleted after flashing this software. SEUS flashes original and clean firmwares, so you can still hold your warranty papers.
If SEUS update didn't work, then try flashing firmware with Flashtool. (Search in X8 Android development section this Guide).
Is der any easyer trik like nokia with trik 3 finggers .. ??

Use PCC to repair and restore your phone to original SE stock ROM!
1) Connect the phone to your PC
2) Start your PCC, find the "repair" option, follow the instructions
3) When asked to hold the "back" button and plug in the USB cable, just to it and it will flash the original ROM for you.
4) When finish, follow the instruction to unplug your phone and reboot
5) END OF THE STORY!
you will lose all your data!
[Guide] Enter Emergency Download Mode LG Optimus L5 E615/E615F [Guide]
You can enter Emergency Download Mode (EDM) on LG Optimus L5 E615
by using the following key combination
Firstly, make sure your phone is switched off and remove any SIM cards
inside it. To ensure your phone is switched off, please remove the battery.
Now re-insert the battery.
Key Combination:
#1 Press and hold both the “Vol Up” and “Vol Down” buttons. (Easy way
is to press in the center of both the buttons).
#2 Next press the Power button.
#3 As soon as the screen turns on insert the USB cable to your computer.
If successful, You will a LG Home screen with a syncing sign at the center bottom of the
screen and above it will be written “Downloading in progress, please do
not disconnect or power off the phone.” (OR SIMILAR).
Purpose:
If you have tried to enable animated boot menu's which will make the
screen hang while booting up and in most severe cases make the phone
un-bootable.
How to use:
#1 Firstly, note down the IMEI of your mobile. You can do this by
removing the back cover and battery. After removing the battery you
will see IMEI1 and IMEI2. Note both of them down. Either one can be
used.
#2 Next you will need to make sure that the PC you will be using has LG
PC Suite installed, with latest USB drivers and LG Support Tool.
#3 After putting your phone in EDM you can connect it to LG Support
Tool, it will hopefully receive the required information. If it doesn't
then you can manually go to options >> recovery >> enter IMEI.
#4 Next, your phone should be discovered and the software tool will
automatically download the latest STOCK FIRMWARE for the mobile.
#5 Essentially, if all above fails, and your phone is still not discovered by
the tool, you can restart the process and this time after putting your
phone in EDM you can directly open up LG PC Suite and you can go to
Tools/Options and click support tool/phone recovery.
#6 In the above case your phone should be recognized, if it doesn't then
manually input your IMEI as mentioned earlier. And all will work out
IF I HELPED, PLEASE KINDLY SAY THANKS, IT TAKES WEEKS TO WRITE A PROPER GUIDE, BUT MINUTES TO SAY THANKS.
HAPPY HUNTING AND FLASHING
Could you please number the steps, so that it will be easy to follow the step by step instructions. If the EDM mode is followed, what will be the Android software that gets installed on the mboile? Will it be be ICS for E615 or any ealrier version. The reason I asked because
1. I connected my phone via USB to PC (Selected the option "Connect LG SOftware")
2. Opened LG supported tool.
3. Selected "Recover phone"
4. It asked to enter the IMEI.
5 .After entering IMEI, it showed the model as E615 and when clicked "Yes", I got the below msg
"
- After upgrading the OS (eg. Android 1.6 Donut; Andorid 2.1 Eclair), user data will be erased. Therefore, please backup all the data prior to the upgrade process.
- Applications previosuly download from Android market will be earsed as well". However any data stored in SD will remain.
- After upgrading OS, user will not be able to restore to the previous version even Factory reset is performed.
Would you like to conitnue (Yes/NO)
"
I was not activating the EDM mode. Just I was tryign to familiarize with the LG Support tool. But at the same time, worried in case if we want to activate EDM, then will the Android verson be same (ICS) or the previous version?
Yes it will ask u that and u have to comply, whether it is EDM or not
with the after it starts updating my sofware it freezes at 4% ? help

My Device Trouble is Bootloop, stuck in LG Logo. please help me master
thanks this is very helpfull to noobs like me. this is always my last resort to restoring my phone whenever I softbrick my phone.
THe whole recovery function finishes but the phone still does not boot up what may be the reason?
The reason for the phone not booting up is that the System memory has been flashed. Try to enter the EDM once again and Hopefully that should work out for you. Post your feedback here.

This is what I get when I connect the phone by USB.
I just cant get into emergency, DIAG or emergency CS
KDZ the phone connects and then I get a message afterwards PHONE NOT FOUND.
everytime I install the drivers by LG support tool, it keeps giving me the option to install the driver, like I havent done it a hundred times over.
I think there should be a driver somewhere that can be installed but the only people that have this driver are LG tech's. So they can bill you after
send the phone in cause you rooted it. So the one billion dollar question is witch hero will find a way to unbrick this device. We only need a way
to get a driver to install and we are home free. Or maybe the only other option is throwing the phone for sale on internet for spare parts
HELP PLEASE HELP find a way to unbrick this phone. Believe me I flashed and bricked alot of different phones and there was a way out but in
with this phone it seems impossible!!
And there is no mode to put it in in because te volume buttons don't do crap, the home button also, the only time that the phone does show up is when windows tells me it has an unknown device that I for the love of god can't find a driver for. I tried SDK, the LG drivers, but no dice
any other options??
Easy Peasy
@breakercris
The solution to your above mentioned Problem is very very easy. Not techy at all.
Basically there might be some drivers that might be conflicting.
Try to fix things in Device Manager and post screen shots here.
Also if you are unable to get them working then try a Reformat for your PC. IMHO go for WINDOWS 7 or 8.
Lastly remove the battery of your phone.
Also make sure you have LG PC Suite Installed and LG Support Tool Installed as well.
Hold down the power and the volume buttons and insert the USB Cable into the PHONE WITHOUT THE BATTERY, and my dear friend you will be home free.
Sincerely,
XxXKINGMAKXxX
PS. If you still need some help, PM me
I appreciate in writing the steps to install firmware. It would be great if there is some info on how to avoid the online firmware download. Do you have any info on that?

Hi. I'll use this thread to ask something related. I've a LG L5 E610. Wanted to flash a generic brand-free rom and apparently i need to boot to emergency mode (vol up + vol down + power) except the phone can't boot to any mode except for a regular boot - phone works perfectly with a simple boot just using the power button. If i try any key combo all i get are the bottom soft keys (back and options) quickly flashing. That's it, screen stays off, nothing more happens.
Phone's new, all i did was reseting it (vol down + home + power) and rooted it following some method i found around here (worked flawlessly too). I also know vol up + home + power also used to work before this (tried it by accident before).
Any ideas? Thanks!

Well it must be a phone issue, previously when I tried to upgrade my phone, it used to give me the error after downloading and just before installing, PHONE SOFTWARE NOT COMPATIBLE.
I just realized that the bootloader and the Software version for the region were not properly set.
About the Battery issue, well try it with a new battery, or else try to clear battery statistics. EDM should basically allow you install the Original Firmware.
Anyways, google up the Stock Rom for your phone, they are most likely available on

There are some guide
There are a couple of guides out there that would help you install the STOCK or CUSTOM roms on your LG Mobile, the best one that has been around for quite sometime is KDZ Flasher. Give it a try and hopefully everything works fine.

Hey guys,
First off, from a xda noob, that video you have to see at registration - genius.
Second, to get down to business, I have this stupid X8 (11W48, if it means anything to you) that has been giving me trouble since I got it.
It restarted itself randomly, which was not that big a deal until it started happening every hour or so,
then it started giving me errors all the time (I couldn't in any way enter my settings, force closes it),
and now finally, after trying the button combinations to force a factory reset, it's on constant loop, booting up to the logo and then restarting itself over and over and over again.
I never actually did anything to it, except for the usual apps from the market and stuff, so I guess that wouldn't cause the issue.
Now I don't quite know what to do. I can't go for PCC or Flashtool, really, cause I've tried - it tells me it recognizes the device (provided it doesn't restart right away and kill the connection) but the debugging mode or something is not turned on.
How the duck can I factory reset it? Or fix it at all?
And yes, I've tried searching, but I haven't come across a problem like this.
Please don't tell me to send it to Sony or something :crying:
Thanks
Hey,
Unfortunately I think you've a damaged x8..
I'd send to sony cause there is nothing you can do in the condition it's in. You need usb debugging on to attempt to fix it.
Maybe remove battery for an hour or so. Let the phone go cold inside.
You might get into settings upon reboot.
Good luck!!

don't be panic at this moments, your X8 is just Softbricked Okay! just SOFT.
if it still shows the Sony Ericsson logo,Still vibrate when turn on-its fine.
you need to use PC companion correctly and properly to get the
PC companion recognize your X8
note:-if you have PCC before and used hardly with your X8,PCC may not work properly in repairing our phone
so,
-uninstall completely your PC companion(restart)
-clean Registry and other left over pieces of the PC companion files(Restart)
-download a fresh copy of PC companion here:http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
-install it and restart
-open PC companion and go to the support Zone(wait it to download approx 2mb)
-and click software update on it
-and then click repair my phone.
Note:the firmware and the updating tool download may take as long as half hour depending on your Internet Speed
that's all, just follow the step on screen just tick tick tick and do what its says.
after that select your X8 if its in the list and its says you need to
plug in your device while holding back button.just do it.and you can see some magic automatically on your PC screen.
after finished unplug your device and turn it on. you will back to original pure 2.1 SE skinned android.
IF YOU HATE DOING THE PROCEDURE AT THE TOP!!!
go to http://androxyde.github.com/
download the flash tool and install it.
you need to download Original X8's firmware you can find in Gogeta's signature
you need to put the X8 firmware in the C:/Flashtool/firmwares/drop it here
open flash tool and click the Flash button and it pop-up with default flash mode just click OK
and it shows a window with 2 firmware with included X10 firmware and the X8 firmware that
you dropped in select X8 carefully and don't click anything just click OK
after you clicked OK you will see couple of logs in the screen and says
preparing files for flashing and after seconds it says you need to
connect your device. and do the on screen procedure,
after it detect the device,MAGIC will happen in your PC screen.
that's all simple procedure.
Requirements:
cool head and clear aye.
I went for the Flashtool way - it worked! Thank you so much!
so that why i say don't be so panic or stressed when doing this type of job.
use Flashtool the way it should be and don't play with it too much!
maybe you will hardbrick your X8 if flash non-X8 firmwares...
use Flashtool when necessarily needed.
While updating My Xperia Z1 , my pc hanged during the process ( so , installation of update was interrupted , guess it's same as getting your USB connection disconnected )and now the phone won't turn on .

I tried to flash it with a flashtool (Emma) , but it says phone locked , but since it can't even be turned on , i can't unlock it .
It's a store bought phone and is not of any contracts with any mobile service provider or anything like that ....

Use flashtool, it should flash it with no issues. Google it and install the drivers. Download the ftf for your model (C6902, C6903, C6906, or the other one) and flash it. There's a guide on the forums, find it and read it.

ANDROID EXPERT NEEDED TO REPAIR BRICKED PHONE
Anyone in my area know how to fix a soft bricked Android phone? I have a Sony Xperia Z3 compact that is not responsive and I've tried everything and scoured the internet, mostly XDA, on how to get it back. I was trying to flash the Sony Concept Marshmallow ROM with the Boot and OTA, per the instructions in the thread. I wiped my device, flashed ROM, Boot, and OTA. Then I rebooted my device and then nothing, but a black screen and no response from the phone. It does not boot up or turn on. The screen does not flicker or anything. I can hold volume down and power and it will vibrate, but still nothing on the device. I can hold volume up and plug in the device and it will show me the blue led that it is connected to fast boot, but I cannot seem to do anything with it at that point. My computer does recognize it, but I can't figure out what to do from there with Flashtool or any other software.
If you are available where we can meet up that would be fantastic. I'm in the Chicago suburbs.

I think you phone isn't really bricked Try this, maybe it will help:
1. Download newest flashtool
2. Download proper .ftf file from the general section
3. Launch flashtool, plug your phone while holding vol down and wait until the drivers install. Unplug the phone after the drivers install.
4. Click a small thunder-shaped button in flashtool
5. Navigate to a folder with your .ftf file
6. You will see a menu where you can select what to flash and what not to flash. You might want to have everything from the top right window selected (data, cache, apps log will be wiped) and everything from the window below NOT selected (everything will be flashed). Click flash and wait for the files to be prepared.
7. You will see a window with the instructions how the phone should be plugged to a computer. Again, plug the phone while holding vol down, the LED will flash green.
8. Wait for the files to be flashed. If you get any error, try the flashing again after restarting flashtool. If you still get errors, reboot the computer and try again.
I hope this will work and instructions are not messed up but clear to you, I wrote them quickly.

Thank you and these instructions are clear. I have tried all this, but the issue is the Phone isn't recognized properly.
And my Flash tool isn't recognizing .ftf files.
Not sure if this will help ... but in your situation guess one is willing to try anything
Try using Flashtool 0.9.10.2beta6 - this version doesnt require USB Debugging to be turned on - which may be the reason the phone isnt recognized properly???
Looks like your boot.img have gone
Now download stock rom and flash only the boot.img,it may work
Good luck
I had something of a similar issue very recently where flashtool wouldn't do it after i had by stupid mistake wiped EVERYTHING.. I think i had lost boot.img. On startup i would get the very first Sony Xperia screen and then nothing else.
After kicking around a few threads for information i downloaded an older version of flashtool, 0.9.18.5, flashed a complete stock rom with that and all was well.

It won't even get to any screen... Just black screen of death.

Hmmm.......curious and you have my sympathy.
Did you have any joy at all with an older version of flashtool? From what i have read around the place if you are getting ANY response from the phone at all in terms of the LED or vibration when power and vol up or down pressed then all is NOT lost. Seems it may be a matter of finding the right combinations of tools and ftf files .
When i was mucking around trying to resurrect mine i did have to install drivers (from the directory in flashtool) more than once as i tried different combinations. Was using my Win7 machine at work rather than my Win10 home PC.
good luck. Will be interested to see the outcome of this as any fix is good to know about.

I got frustrated and moved onto the Nexus 5X and drawered the Z3C. If I ever get around to it I'll definitely post about it here.
Do you have windows 7?. Windows 10 have problems with flashtools and driver because secureboot.
