Hello,
a few days ago my Z3c (D5803) fall on the floor and it broke the screen, the touchscreen doesn't work either.
I was able to create a backup and i was wandering if i could restore this one on an other Z3c (D5803), or do i need to use PC Compagnion ?
Thank in advance for your answers.
How u do the backup? Via Recovery? If yes, u can reatore it. If with pc companion, never tried
Yes i could use physical button to do a recovery backup.
Thank you very much for your answer, i'll try it when i'll be back home and with the new phone

Hi guys, i've looked up about this but could not find the relevant issue as the x8.
Im using the froyobread rom and i've recently flashed the Xperia Active Launcher.
The problem with the screen occurs, it seems couldnt sense the touch. Only the 3 bottom, volume and camera buttons works. Any help or suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You should try to turn back to stock (with flashtool) and see if this problem still persists.
If it is then I guess it's a hardware problem!
Agree with above ^^ try stock rom..
My first X8 lasted 3 weeks and the touch screen died. Bottom 1/4 section of the touchscreen didnt work or acted erratic which showed up in stock test mode. Had a replacement from carrier which works fine..
1st of all thanks for the replies guys. Ive made a factory reset, wipe data and cache then flashed my backed up custom rom the one before i flashed froyobread. Its seems fine but abit out of ordinary. I'll flash the stock rom if the problem occurs again. Guess ive to find the stock rom if i need to flash it coz i think i messed up my stock rom back up. Damn i love my x8 n this happened. Thanks for the solutions guys, i appreciated it.
If you flash back to stock rom do the following key combination to bring up a service menu where you can access a touch screen test page to see if it is working properly..
Menu, Back, Back, Menu, Back, Menu, Menu, Back
Ok. Thanks terracuk. Will give it a test.
1 more thing guys... Does restoring/updating from SE Pc Companion gives me unroot? I need the warranty if i send it for repair.

You can have your warranty back if you flash the phone with flashtool..I don't think SEUS is working if you are on a Custom ROM..
Ive tried using the SE Pc Companion and it seems working. The firmware ver, kernel and build no. is back to stock. To confirm this i tried downloading Titanium back up and it cant access as the device is not rooted. Is it good to go( to the service centre)?
Thanks terracuk, ive tried the touch screen test from the service menu... And yes, it when haywired, it drew itself even im not touching the screen. [email protected]#$$%!
Guess its going to the service centre soon. Thanks for your guide bro. Thanks to u too AntwnhsAnt.

please tell me you installed xrecovery. if so then boot into xrecovery and restore a backup
option 2​use 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??

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?

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.
Hello all
I hope you can help me!
I have had my Z3C since November and therefore I have made many updates on it and it now has 5.1.1 running.
It's not rooted and therefore I will be using pc companion.
My question is: I am having some problems with the icons being too bright when I turn on the phone from standby - and some would say it's also about time I made a factoryreset on my phone - and I therefore would like to try if resetting it could solve this problem.
My plan is to make a backup of the phones data using PC companion, then make a factoryreset of my Z3C and then restore the phone's data again using pc companion...
But will this bring back the problems, that might be on the phone now or will the Android software just restore/reset/fix it self (or what ever the reason for resetting is) and then afterwards not be able to go back to the faulty software...?
I hope you understand my question and will help me...
