I can't Connect My Bricked Phone..

Hello Xda... I Can't Connect My bricked Phone to Pc. When i put it and turn it on flash mode it tells that failed to install the device drivers. Seus , PC Companion , Flashtool Can't Recognize it. can anyone help me? Thanks In advance.

First of all how you broke it? Second before you can proceed with seus or any other tool you need to install all drivers for your phone.....

How far does your phone boot-up?
Do you still see something on your screen?
Does the LED still light up (when connected to the charger/USB)?
If you haven't killed the boot-loader you should be able to recover the device with Flashtool ... if the boot-loader is dead I think there's no easy way to resurrect it.
Of course the unsolved question is if it would need a intact kernel as well AND if custom kernels actually support "Flash mode".

Finally I did it! Big Thanks to you. I Installed the drivers and it recognized. big thanks

Well, that's exactly from where Vlackrs and I already recovered our phones after a bad flash ("stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo").
Start Flashtool and select "Check drivers".
If it turns out as "OK" on all three checks it seems you have the drivers installed already.
If not ... try to install Gordon's Gate (should be included with Flashtool and called "ggsetup.exe").
Follow the instructions I wrote up here to restore the device.
Note that I did NOT use Flashtool 0.5 as 0.5.0.0, 0.5.0.1 and 0.5.0.2 failed to recognize the device (and yes, I replaced the "E15.properties" with the files posted in the Flashtool thread in the Development section) - Flashtool 0.2.9.1 did the trick for us.

Please help !

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

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.

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!

Yes do as the guy above said...No need to root your phone

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.

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
ViVA FIDELINO!

how about kernel?

>> how about kernel? for example your phone allready back to 2.1 rom and you are using custom kernel before i done this update? like kernel aA-11? is it possible to turn on phone even if im using custom kernel? please give me steps how to bring it back, because im currenty using mini cm7 / kernel aA-11, and i want to bring back my xperia x8 to original rom and kernel

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.

X8 stuck at SE logo
I am facing same problem. I have been using GingerDX for long time wanted to change the ROM, however after I change the rom through Xrecovery. Phone restarted and stuck at SE logo.

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.

No sign of life from Xp X8

Hi. I think I've bricked a phone. First, it was somehow soft-bricked, so I wanted to repair it. I read somewhere on the forums, that flashing into it may help. So I did that. I followed the steps and saw that a green light appeared. I wanted to check if PC Companion repair would work then (the program is installed on other computer), but didn't know how to turn-off the flash mode, so I just quit the FlashTool. Then the phone didn't start again and I'm now screwed. Is it really a hard-brick? Please, help me. It was not my phone :/

Install SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) that should help u to go back to stock rom, and be ok.

if your phone is not 11w29+ its okay..maybe just soft brick
and u can flash it into stock kernel again eclair 2.1
u can download from my signature
BUT
if your manufacture phone is 11w29+..ehhmmm i dont know dude

Can you explain what had you done before you "soft-brick" your phone?
Actually, how to quit the flash mode in your phone is just plug out your USB Cable, if the flashing process haven't finished, don't plug it out anyway.
(If you could understand my language.. Hehe)
Try to flash it again.

I'm not sure if you guys understood me. I can't even get into Sony Ericson logo screen now. The PC Companion doesn't see the phone. I'm currently downloading the firmware and will try to flash in 10 minutes.
@MatthewWu: I unlocked bootloader, installed xRecover or sth like that, and then installed the zip file with romfrom phone's flashcard. If it's important, I changed some assert(<text here>) lines to just one assert() in /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, cause the installation didn't work without that.
The phone is 10W42.
Yup, I can't flash into it. Nothing happens when I follow the steps.

Try to flash Original Flash File and follow the steps correctly. (2.1-eclair)
I think that you didn't flash the right kernel when you install the ROM's zip file.

Cant connect to PC and access my data

Hey guys,
long story short: I flashed my device and now my pc wont recognise the usb-connection between my phone and computer. The hardware-manager describes as if the phone cant tell the computer that it is a z3 compact.
Errormessage: Unknown USB-device (Cannot get the device description)
*something like that*
what I did to troubleshoot:
- reflash the device with firmeware: A.1.264 (without this strange script)
- reflash the device with the concept preview (without this strange script)
- installed PC Companion from Sony
- Linux cant see the phone, but can flash it
- USB-Debugging wont work as well
Nothing worked for me so far. Anyone an idea what to do?
thanks in advance

Some roms come with the usb functions disabled, removed as bloatware. So it's possible the first rom you tried didn't have the usb functions installed.
Do you have the correct drivers
Presumably flashtool can see your phone and it's still charging, so I'm sure the hardware is ok.
Did you try a repair with PC companion?
Do you have a different usb lead you can try?

Hey,
thanks for your answere. I found a "solution" to connect the phone via fastboot to the pc and with this I could do a complete reset with the PCC. When the phone is booted however I get the same error message over and over again: Cant get a device description!
Maybe you can look up the specific driver which is used in the device-manager so I can force windows to use this one?

Did you install the ADB drivers that come with flashtool? Look in the install folder for a folder called 'drivers' run the exe in there and tik the fist two and then Z3c.

Yep, all three unsigned drivers.

USB Driver Issues

Hi, I'm having issues with XZ2 Drivers.
I'm a noobie trying to do a wipe of my phone back to stock, using Newflasher and Xperifirm.
When I try to flash with Newflasher, I get the "Incorrect function" error, and from what I've read from previous posts on the newflasher thread, it is because I am missing drivers.
The issue is, there are no drivers that I can find that work with the phone when I try to install them, and zadig can't put in custom USB drivers in for me.
I've tried installing gordongate drivers, but they don't seem to work.
My phone model is H8216.
Any help will be appreciated

After a couple of days of attempts, I have achieved a successful flash.
Unfortunately, another problem arose.
When I load into stock firmware, I'm only allowed to make emergency calls, and there's text on the bottom of the screen that says: "Simcard is Locked".
Does anyone know why that might be?

I was using Xiaomi USB Drive it was working fine but after a few flashing files for my Redmi note 9, my pc was not able to recognize my device. Then I have installed the latest Mi USB drive that is still working fine so if you want to download drives so you can also download from here. I hope it will help you out! also, you can download the latest Fastboot file from Mi.com
