Hi.
I am pretty desperate and out of ideas with my X8 right now. I was just trying to flash in xRecovery this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393520 , but my phone now is bricked. I know that its only for custom kernel, but I was just about to try it with the stock one. So when i have done flashing, I rebooted, and since then i was just stuck on boot logo "Sony Ericsson". PCC recognizes my phone but I cant access recovery menu. I was trying PCC and flash tool, and im stuck at step where its going to flash it. I hold back button as its written there, but my computer doesnt regognize anything (on the phone the green light shows on, does it mean that it is in flash mode? i really dont know, sorry). I have been searching around and i installed latest Gordons Gate (driver). I dont think so its hard bricked, because i´m having locked bootloader. Anyone can help me? I will REALLY appreciate it
ah..if it has SE then it still living ...use PCC
heres how i did it ..
1.enter PCC
2. click Support zone ( dont connect your phone )
3.wait for it to download (if i am right it will start a download? not sure)
4.at phone software update click start
5.it will say cant find phone then you click repair phone..
6.follow instructions =)
(DONT CONNECT YOUR PHONE YET )
at least you have a SE logo ...my phone got totally brick from unlock bootloader =(
next time try it with the kernel needed eh
use a flashtool to unbrick your device.
when you hold back button whilst plugging in and there is green light there still is some life in there. just do what has been said already.
thank you guys, i already repaired it with flash tool, my problem was that my computer doesnt recognized my X8 when it was in flash tool so i installed PC Companion, it automatically installed drivers and i could have done flashing
Please help i just isntalled new ROM for my xperai x8 and now when i restarted it it is stuck at SE logo and stays there.I tried to enter to xrecovery but it cant enter like i dont have xrecovery but i actually do. Now when i try to put my phoen i nflash mode it says taht my usb device isnt recognised but it was a day ago. Moreover i reinstalled windwos usb drivers and Xperia SEMC flash drivers to see if this is the problem but its not it still cant recognise it so i am stuck at SE logo , xrecovery cant run , myPC doesnt recognise the phone in flash mode.... 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

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!

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.

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
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.
I tried with SE PC companion but it gives error.

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.

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.
Hi everyone !
I've a Xperia SP which wont turn on anymore ... i installed a recovery, made a wipe factory, since it doesnt turn on :'(
Just so you know, i installed PhilZ Touch and TWRP (but i dont succeed to access them now, if someone know the manipulation ...)
However, i can access the Flash Mode, so I installed Flashboot (9.19.8), installed ALL the driver which were available in the "driver" directory, and tried to flash 4 differents TFT files, i tried on every USB port, with an officiel USB cable from Sony... didnt work
I've always the same error: Processing of system.sin finished with errors.
and then, the phone boot on "Sony" logo, then turn off, finally go in flash mode again endlessly as long as i let it plugged to my PC.
I dont know what to do, so here i am. Maybe all the rom i tried arent stock or arent compatible with my Locked bootloader ? Maybe its too low in battery (but before the recovery installation, it has something like 75% ...).
Thanks for your help !

Please use 0.9.18.6 or 0.9.19.8. Download the proper version of Flashtool here: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Then download the stock firmware by using Xperifirm that comes with the Flashtool, afterwards flash the stock firmware.
Also what Windows are you on?
