Hi all I'm new here I hope someone can help me please I just bought a brand new sealed box z1 and when I turned it on it was on 4% battery so I put it in charge and the screen froze and went to the Sony start up logo so I did the volume up and power hold for the hard reset. As it was in 80% charge I did the update is was in jellybean 4.2.2 then it did major updates as it was a sealed box and a 3 year old phone that needed the updates, it went to kitbag and then lollipop still git lots if freezes and screen shutdowns. I called Sony they insisted that I do the update by pc with companion software which I did. I am still getting the freeze on random apps and when I take the phone of the dock charge it goes to Sony boot screen and stays there I also tried the red reset button next to simcard slot please help thanks.

Have you tried flashtool instead? If not, give it a shot. Flashing a whole system image and resetting the phone may help you.

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.

it hangs on the sony ericsson logo.
i´ve just restore my backup and then it hangs.
anybody here who help us (me)

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

Full Wipe
Did you guys try full wipe?
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!
So, I have rooted my Xperia Z, I do not have any recovery. I installed this white balance, too fix the screen contrast.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190293
I used the second method, since I did not have a recovery. After installing, I restarted my phone and:
1. It showed the Sony Logo
2. Blank
3. Back to step 1.
I just want to delete a few files from the /system folder. Is it possible to access the phone system files? I do not really want to reset the phone.
Things I can do
1. Shut down the phone (Power + Volume Up Button)
2. Use Sony Update Service (After powering down, hold volume down button)
And that's all about it I found out. Currently, I am charging the phone, and it gave me this battery icon.
Please help me with this. Any help is appreciated.

Hello all!
Ok so i just got my daughter the c5306 sp on virgin about 2 weeks ago. Her friend decides to show her the mcafee app and inputs a fake email and pin.
the phone is now LOCKED!
Literally can't do anything NOR can i find a hard reset option. i tried several key combination hoping for android recovery but NADA!
And the pc companion, useless in this situation as it needs me to unlock the phone for it to work... oh and that reset button on the back... crud!
any help, anyone know how to get to android recovery?
any help is much appreciated
the sony xperia range don't have a stock recovery built in unless cwm recovery was installed and rooted before your daughter was shown/given the phone.
If it was try shutting phone down then restart and start pressing (repeatedly) vol down to enter recovery but this will only help if a backup was made which you can restore if no backup exists you to follow the next step.
If not you need to shut down phone then either use sus,PCC,flashtools to reflash the phone.
I would recommend flashtools and find the ftf you need on Sp forum then use this to get phone back working

Ok so I have flash tools, is there a specific way to use it, the instructions are a little unclear.
So SP forums and get stock tft to flash with flash tools? Ok I'll try to get ahold of it! Thank you

You can find the stock .ftf files here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311964
You download and open flashtool (from here depending on your PC OS :http://flashtool.net/ )
Shut your phone down
From flashtool press the lighning button
Then select flashmode and press ok
Select the .245.ftf file (its the latest kernel released by Sony that you downloaded from the link above)
And then press flash
then it will open a new window showing a phones a usb cable and a back button
With your phone powered down you hold the "Volume Down" button down and while holding plug the Usb cable to your phone
It will take some time flashing the data and then it will say "Phone Connected in flashmode"
Disconect and boot the phone
This procces could Hard brick your phone so be careful and follow the steps!!!
If you are not willing to take the chance just do it with SUS
open it then go to update phone/tablet
fix phone/tablet and follow the instructions on the screen
But it will be ok i flashed kernel 4 times to my phone (for rooting it)
Good Luck
you can use SUS to reflash the fimware

Hi guys, big fan here. I have been hanging around here for quite some time now but this is my first post
I was trying to put CM11 on my phone. After taking a backup in TWRP when i tried to put CM11 there suddenly the logs declared that system partition cannot be read. I am on a unlocked boot loader. I did try to use a backup but the same error that system partition is not readable popped up. Then I rebooted the phone only to find that its forever stuck on the Sony logo with a red light. I read up and found that I can flash a .ftf file to do things right. Just now I found that my phone stays in flash mode only for a small time and then again starts to show that crap Sony splash screen.
Can some kind developer or enthusiast like myself please help me??

Hi there!
I can help you bascially you just messed up the partition. Don't worry it can be corrected easily. Download .ftf file for your Xperia Sp model (Google it).
press the back yellow button situated downwards inside the cover. When you do that does it vibrate three times? Please let me know the exact situation so that I can help

Thanks for replying. Yeah, it does vibrate thrice, that's how I turned it off for the first time. I downloaded the ftf file. Also, if I put it in flash mode, after nearly a minute the led turns red and the Sony logo is back.
Do you CWM or TWRP installed? Try to boot in CWM when phone vibrates during start keep pressing volume up button until you see CWM menu

Ok. Download the stock kernel for your Xperia device and place it inside Flashtool folder . Make sure your device is switched off and open Flashtool on your PC. Connect your phone by holding VOLUME DOWN Button until green LED lights up. You have your device connected in fastboot mode now. As you said that your phone restarts after a minute so you gotta be fast , quickly hit the smart lighting button and select Fastboot mode on Flashtool and select kernel to flash. Once the kernel starts flashing wait for it to finish and voila you're done.
Warning - I will not be blamed for brick or dead devices, it is a method that is risky so proceed at your own risk***

Thanks guys. The phone is up again. Here's what I did.
1. Tried Fastboot mode and it worked.
2. Downloaded Doomkernel.
3. Flashed using flashtool.
4. After flashing this kernel I was able to boot into recovery (philz touch).
5. System partition still couldn't mount. I read somewhere that formatting it can help. As does unmounting everything else.
6. Mounted system and flashed Existenz rom again.
XDA rocks. thanks everyone.:cyclops:
