This method will install the original software on your X8!
If you have Sony PC Companion 2.1 on your PC, then uninstall it, and download and install Sony PC Companion 2.1, again! If not, then PC Companion might not recognize your phone. After installing do the following:
- Turn off the phone, and unplug it from the PC
- Turn on Sony PC Companion on your PC
- In PC Companion, enter the Support Zone tab
- Go to Update Phone Software
A window will pop out, saying that it cannot find your phone
- Click on Fix Phone
- Click on Continue
A window will pop out, saying that you will lose all your data
- TICK the BOX
- Click on continue
An update process will began.
Wait for it to show a window with all the SONY mobile phones
- Find your phone (X8)
- Click on the phone.
Now all you have to do is follow the on-screen instructions. It will tell you to hold the back button and plug your turned-off X8 to the PC, then it will erase everything, and download the original 2.1 ROM to your X8.
yes

thanks mate i will try it now
lol
It doesn't work it says that Pc companion was not able to connect to the device. I tried many things bu pc companion just cant connect my phone and windows keep saying that error that i am plugging unknown device which is a bull**** the day before it was working fine...
For all people who didnt understand iCANT ENTER IN FLASH MODE I MEAN I CAN BUT ITS NOT RECOGNISED so i cant update my software.
also
also flash tool in the console says that it cant determine what deviec i am plugging into and cant display what is busybox version or anything like i am putting an unknown device...

Hey there, my phone isn't bricked...but I think I have too much data (possibly conflicting roms installed at the same time??) and I wish to reset my phone to its original status... I wish to re-install a ROM on it, but I want to start fresh again by removing the rooting programs or what have you..
Would following these steps put it all back to its original setting, also meaning that I could completely wipe the SD clean?
If so, would this mean I would have to re-root my X8? Not that it would be a problem but I would just like to know if it would be needed!
Thanks!

Sorry, just to clarify - you mean I wouldn't need to go through the whole rooting process again after doing a full reset/wipe what have you? Thanks by the way

if you want to restore the stock rom (original androdi on xperia x8) with pc Comapnion than you dont need to root it again. But if you want to change it to custom rom and you have done full wipe i think you should root it again (rooting is done so taht you can change the busybox version of the phone and upload xrecovery if you have those you don't need to root)

Why don't you download the store Rom annd use Flashtool to flash it? Then you may be able to upgrade to latest revision with PCC.

Can I consequently delete Busybox? If it is a deleteable app that is!
use the update service

Yeah, I lost you somewhere... If after taking out the battery, you CAN NOT enter xrecovery or CWM, then, you either can try THIS THREAD <--- go on, click on it!, or, you have to do what I had to do a couple of times, which is to restore your X8 to its original state, and to do that with Sony PC Companion, you first have to UNINSTALL your current PC Companion!!! THEN, restart your PC, and install a clean version of Sony PC Companion 2.1!
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION of PC Companion, YOU STILL HAVE TO UNINSTALL IT, AND INSTALL IT AGAIN!!! IF YOU DON'T, THERE's a 99% CHANCE THAT PC COMPANION WILL NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE!!! ...I don't know why, but it's probably some marketing trick, since I once used this method 3 times in a row, then the fourth time PC Companion didn't recognize my X8. This happened on both, the old PC Companion, and the current Sony version 2.1. I tested them both on purpose, to eliminate the possibility that I damaged my X8's hardware somehow, during a high speed impact collision with the bedroom wall...
Once you reinstall Sony PC Companion 2.1, go back to my first post to your problem, and follow it step-by-step.
AND yes, if you want to install custom ROM's again, then you will have to ROOT your phone again, and UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER, etc...
BUT, if it's a soft-brick, then you might be able to redeem yourself

Try downloading the stock rom and a diff version of flashtool. I can't remembet which version is most recommended (try searchibg xda - i read it here). install drivers in flashtool's driver folder (gordon's gate) then try again. Almost the same thing happened to me. PCC won't recognize my phone so I couldn't install the drivers.

The best way, if u still can't get on your phone , is take it to the SE Customer care. And don't tell a word about rooting or anything. Just ask them to repair the phone, saying that one morning, the SE logo kept on popping up.

I don't think so because this happened to me long ago when I tried to unlock bootloader.But I did something to the driver to work adb properly and it worked.And now I forgot that method and couldn't find in google also.So I'm really in big trouble.I just don't know why when I want to flash the stock rom and flashtool show in popup to power off the phone and press vol down button and connect to computer using usb cable but vol button don't work or not give any signal to computer.So I can't flash the rom.
Go to sony official site and download drivers.. ZR drivers dont exist but you can use drivers for Z, install those on your computer and use the fastboot method again and you should be fine.. Your phone is only soft bricked.. Hard brick is when there are absolutely no life in the phone at all.. Use a boot.img you know will work and no need to flash stock ROM once you're in recovery.. Unless you want to of course.. Custom ROM will boot your phone just fine
Also take your battery out and re-insert to make sure your phone is properly off.. Flashtool should also work after that

ZR driver exist in Sony developer website and I installed the driver but I don't know why my computer not recognizing my phone.My phone can turn into fastboot mode(blue light on when pressing vol up and connecting cable to pc) but when I type command "adb devices" the listed device is empty I mean no adb fastboot device found.I'm just asking the drivers are not working beacuse of windos 10?Actually when after I use custom rom I couldn't connect my phone to pc.So any driver can fix this problem?I searched really hard on google but couldn't find any proper sloutions.

Windows 10 is a pain to install drivers into.. But use fastboot in flashtool instead of flasmode.. Should recognize your phone and flash the boot image from there

I know you are trying to help me but I tried everything and nothing is working.I installed driver from flashtool but still no clue why pc not recognizing my phone.My phone is like a live junk.My phone soft bricked many times and I could recover my phone with flashtool so I know what to do but this problem is way more confusing.I just need to know what is causing this issue.
You've managed to install the drivers inc the lagan drivers in flashtool and connected your phone in fastboot mode with flashtool running and flashtool still don't recognize your phone? I've done that loads of times even with no drivers installed and flashtool has been able to recognize the device in fastboot.. If that's the case, then I'm sorry I'm not able to help any further as flashtool has always been my failsafe when things have gone wrong.. Adb and fastboot are usually no help for me in Windows 10..

My problem was created because local charger damaged my phone battery.So I couldn't turn on my device like yours.I replaced the battery and charger from Sony Center and now my phone is good as new.So Try to use other good battery(small or similer size that suites to your phone's battery pin)and see if your phone turns on without any issue.Then you can target the problem.

If your phone is bricked like it won't respond to you then download and install the mediatek vcom drivers in ur laptop and check whether the phone is detected or not, if it's detected then format your phone using sp flash tools and reinstall the stock ROM using sp flash tools and it will boot
It's works for me :good:
Yes it can detect to laptop but for just 2-3 seconds that's why I'm not able to flash it by sp flash tool :crying:
Bt I'll try ur method once
