Hi all...
My friend sent his X8 to a phone shop to get it updated to android 2.3.7 and ended up with a bricked phone cause by that phone shop.
Now, which according to him stuck at the white "Sony Ericsson" logo...Which i know is a soft brick and most probably can be saved by flashing it with PCC or SEUS or FlashTool.
I have ask him to flash it with SEUS or FlashTool, but not successful, still stuck on the SE logo, i doesn't know weather he do it wrongly or does not has any patient...
I gonna buy this phone from my friend, and repair the phone myself.
I want to ask u guys is there any other reason for the phone to stuck at the SE logo other than bricked phone? Could it be a hardware prob?
8/6/2012 UPDATE:
Just now my fren turn on the X8, it stuck at the white "Sony Ericsson" text, and after a moment, the phone reboot itself and stuck at there again and reboot itself again and again...
guys, based on the latest update from my friend, can this phone be saved?
And do share some experience if u do encounter such prob...
9/6/2012 UPDATE:
This morning i trying to flash my phone again...
I flash it with android 1.6 stock ROM (1.3.A.0.62) and it would boot up normally...
I also try to update the phone from 1.3.A.0.62 to 2.1.1.A.0.6 by using PCC, but also remain the same...
Then i flash it with FlashToool using 2.1 stock ROM (2.1.1.A.0.6 and 2.1.1.C.0.0) it would ended up like this see the video below
My X8 with 2.1 stock rom:
What type of brick is this?
Thanks...
Cheers...

I think it has, or might doesn't have, cause i dunno what that phone shop did to the phone.
Furthermore my fren has flash the phone with FlashTool for a few time already, which i think all the data has been wiped...is it correct?
Hmm...Can i install recovery that the phone that cannot boot?

Update again...
This morning i was able to flash the phone with 1.3.A.0.62 stock firmware...
But one weird thing is i it state baseband as unknown...
but i still can receive sms and calls...
after that i flash it with 2.1.1.A.0.6 stock rom, and it stuck at the white SE logo and keep rebooting...
Help guys...
I dont really know bout the condition. Usually works with seus or flashtool. Maybe something has been changed, like kernel or/and baseband. Maybe u would need to flash stock kernel and baseband too. Try flashing them and hope it ll work.

Hmm...
The stock kernel and baseband comes together with the ftf file package right?
Where can i get the stock kernel and baseband?
thanks...

try this X8_E15_2.1.1.C.0.0_generic.ftf.7z
Make sure your flashtool is at it's lastest version
Flashtool-0.6.9.1-windows.exe
Tips: Just double click the firmware during flashing operation and ignore second second windows that shows information about the .tft package & press ok

What rom are you using and which firmware did you want to flash?
Hello,
I got the same problem (just different phone).
I am using CM11 and need to go back to stock ROM. So I tried to flash TFT via flash mode, but it ends on this error.
I tried to change compatibility to Vista and run flashtool as admin, but it doesn't help for me. I am using Flashtool 0.9.14.0 on Windows 7 64b.
Any idea?

HELP!!!
My Xperia SP C5303 just got rooted, but the I updated it to the latest firmware (.266).
Then I noticed that SuperSU can't start because it lost the SU Binary after the update..
I used DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip to root my device, but before that I flashed it with XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.1.257_KernelOnly.ftf.
So I tried flashing it again with .257 kernel so I can reinstall SuperSU, but after flashin it only displays the SONY logo and doesn't even get to FLASHMODE or FASTBOOT.. :crying:
Please help, I need my phone back... :crying:

Did you unlock the bootloader?
Did you flash the correct version for your phone?
To repair it, just flash a stock FTF
