Hello everyone!!
I want if anyone can help me to unbrick xperia x8!!
My phone stucked in SE logo...
I m trying with this flash tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
i need firmwares of x8.. 2.1 or 1.6
.ftf extension files..
i downloaded them, but they are in .zip file ..
most of them extensions are .sin .
So i need an .ftf file, which is 2.1 or 1.6 ..
where i can find them? or creating them by those i dowloaded here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875688
Anyone can help???????
repair it through PCCompanion, if it doesn't recognize your phone, unplug the phone from PC click repair in PCC and follow the instruction, don't worry u don't need to do all that things
Your phone is not bricked just stuck in boot loop.
Just repair your phone using SEUS
google it if you don't know what it is.
Flash tool needs .sin files only unless I am mistaken( I have an old version of flash tool)
And post these questions in general forum next time.
Sent from my X8
the phone its my girlfriend.. and she freaked out!
i made an .ftf file similar to x10, but with x8 files..
and i m curently trying to flash the firmware with the flashtool of b1nary..
i think the process stucked btw..
i will wait a bit more.
i cant do it with pc companion because the phone has to be turned on before seet it to bootloader ..
SEUS can do this?
EDIT: the phone now after the SE logo, has a warning triangle and a phone next to it.. :S :S
Do it with SEUS - Sony Ericsson Update Service. You turn on the program, choose your device, download OS (automatic) and then it asks you to flash your device, so there's no need of turning it on whatsoever
many thanks, all of you guys.. i m just a noob..
PC Companion didn't let me..
But SEUS did it!! The phone started okay!!!
I thought the SEUS was the same with PC companion..
Many many thanks
mods, erase the whole thread if you like, but please put in a little corner, of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921652
that if we stuck on SE logo, just use SEUS instead of PC companion!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938751
Pc companion can fix it with the repair option (somebody already told it). I had the same problem and that was how i fix it.
Sorry for saying this but the are 3-4 topics with exactly the same question in the general of x8.
Search a little and the post. You will find an answer faster too this way.
Yours, GreatApo

If you already download the Official Firmware in .sin format, use flashtool.
click advanced, and choose bundle creation. choose the folder where the .sin files are located, then click ok, then move the files from left box to the right one, then fill the box in the upper right, the value is up to you,then click ok.
then flash it.
done.
boot the phone, wait

i know there are threads on unbricking i have 64 bit windows 7 laptop and seus and pc companion are not working to fix the boot loop on my phone.
i heard of flash tool and all that but it sounds complicated because in the boot loop i cant access the phone to add rom and bin files
.is there any simple solution as in can i do something with the x8 recovery mode
how do you mean, that seus not working?
do you reach the xrecovery? flash tool isnt complicated, just download flashtool and rom, and paste rom in flashtools firmware dir, and press on flash. not a big deal.
thx aerosmith ,seus isnt working because its incompatible then it says update failed and cant install files some other times.is flashtool easy.what did you mean to copy the files somewhere.i cant access the android file system because of this boot loop problem i have.do i put phone into recovery and then click flash on the flash tool
xrecovery thats the custom recovery console ,no i dont have that its the blank screen recovery mode
nvm this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071
look at this thread. download flashtool to your pc.
unpack.
Download 2.1 generic firmware.
copy this firmware to flashtool firmware folder, and flash it.

the first one,(X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf), just try to flash the rom, you doesnt need the baseband now.
lol that seems less confusing the way you put it.
dont look at the basebands. i took one look at the page and its confussing
because i dont have any of those numbers at the back of my phone and
it mentions loss of signal strength and even more booyt loops
. promise : kinda last question what is basebands for and do i need them for flashtool and how to find out the baseband

i dont have any of those numbers too, but ist working. There are everything you need to repair your phone, Just download flasher and rom, and flash it. I know what i am talking. you dont need it. i think the X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf rom has the latest baseband, but if its not, it doesnt matter now, it just an upgrade. if you flash the rom, and your phone starts, you can watch the baseband, and flash it later.
have you done this before what does this rom do as in how does it differ from the pre installed experia rom. so the rom has the baseband in it.i think you can add the baseband later.
im downloading the rom now ill post if it works.
yes, ive done this before. this is a generic factory sony ericsson rom, this is the same rom that was on your phone when you bought it. the rom has a baseband, its 100%.
i f***** give up .talkng about bad luck got this phone after three days and its bricked by its own fault not from rooting also today my pc comppanion and se update dont work so im trying flasher and guess what the five mirrors for the firmware dont work even in premium link generators
what other rom image is good besides X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf
because every download i try it gets stuck on 21 mb because of the firefox default download manager idk
i downloaded it 2 days before, and it worked, then try the 2.1 russian rom.
Try this: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?y3pldh7nd1kdb58
It's from baseband thread folder, I've never tried it, but it might work.
ive tried it before, Its working.
good news.
i got the phone unbricked with the pc companion after 3 hours on a new laptop.with the pc companion it made the phone worse with an erorr hazard message instead of the boot loop.
so after 20 attempts the pc companion started updating through recovery mode.
whats an easy way to get xrecovery on the phone and does the update have the app2sd feature because thats what i think messed up the phone with the phones being installed on the phone partition.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
As for app2sd - flash some custom ROM in xrecovery, they all have app2sd installed by default I use miniCM and it works perfectly
Thanx graveir.wasn't that your post on unbricking x8 .excellent thread
for me, flash it using PCCompanion, easiest way i think, just hold the back button and wait..
PS: if you already have the 2.1 firmware

Could you please tell me how to find the "steps"?

SEUS.. go and download Update_Service_Setup-2.11.5.6.exe.
So if you ruin your system somehow you can actually restore it from the official SE software?
if thats the case I might actually pluck up the courage to mod mine >.<

I can live with having to reinstall apps. I'm just surprised it'll actually fix a bootloop. That's really good! So as long as it switches on, you can bugger the system all you want and SEUS can factory restore it? Epic
Hi Iceman,
I also own an Xperia Arc with the same build and firmware version as you have. I successfully unlocked the bootloader, but after attempting to root, I cannot get past the SE logo. I cannot connect to the flashing tool (version 0.2.9.1) and I cannot connect to PC companion.
What can you suggest to unbrick my phone?
Thanks, Tom

You need to give more info as to how u attempted to root?
Did u flash back to 2.3.2 and then update OTA? That would cause it to brick .. Look for the tutorial on how to unbrick the unlocked OTA updated phones in the forum..
If you are unlocked you can simply flash one of the rooted images..again check for the tutorial thread.. there are a couple i think..

Take a look at this post on MoDaCo, it tells you how to install Froyo:
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...id-2-2-on-your-phone-for-total-newbs-like-me/
And to overclock your phone: Download SetCPU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=585838&d=1304459242, Install it, and open it. Press "AutoDetect Speeds" Allow the superuser request and set the top bar to 806MHz.
Hope it helps,
Jack

Have you tried fastboot -w to factory reset. Also did you put clockworkmod recovery on it?
code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You could also try re-flashing and making sure everything is right.

Please understand the correct definition of brick. Brick means that the device will not function AT ALL. (Eg. Wont turn on, Has no fuction) You forgot to do a factory reset. Go back into fastboot and do fastboot -w (like said above) Your phone will boot.

Had to repeat the steps 2 3 times but all good now was running 2.2 and it was when i went to the cyanogen mod 7 things went funny but it seems to work good now and more stable i think than open swift loving the xda website ive learnt more in my time on this site then i ever did in college
Does anyone know the max stable cpu overclock??????? im running 825mhz seems sweet but wouldnt mind abit more grunt for games etc plus its cool to laugh at people that paid twice as much for there phone and yours out performs and is just generally better
The following is for those who have locked bootloaders ie :- NO fast/hotboot option available
needed :-
flashtool by androxyde needed to make all this possible can be downloaded from http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
flash 4.0.4.lt 15i generic fr ftf then use the kernal from the lt18i ics 4.0.3. flash only kernal so thats kernal sin loader sin only and dont wipe data or cash
full 4.0.3 lt18 562 ftf for kernal for rooting
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_7JadydU6TBNElIYlVWTEhJVDg
then i used this to root the phone ROOT ICS: Use this script:-
http://ul.to/ia1eriso
to use the script on handset goto settings developer options top option tick the check box make sure your computer has already or is installing drivers for adb etc etc click the run me inside the package once u have extracted it to somewhere on your desktop or somewhere else u put it and thats it it will restart ur fone a few times and run the root for u theres nothing else to do sept sit down for 20 seconds
Installed clockwork mod using this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler
Then i flashed this
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip *** THIS CAN BE SKIPPED IF WANTED ***
from
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
then back to flashtool by androxide to reflashed the 4.0.4 stock kernal remember to not wipe user data and casch and kept rooted on locked bootloader
thanks to evry 1 hear and to those who made the original packeges i made nothing i just played around with it a bit if i was helpfull pleas press thanks
tried and tested i have 2 arcs and it worked on both
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR U DAMAGING YOUR PHONE DOING THIS =) BUT IV HAD NO PROBLEM AS OF YET ***SEE NEXT POST ***
edit *** Originally Posted by codestation View Post

Or for an easyer method try this basicly following the same thing just made easyer by http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4562324 located http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957
i got the idea to try this from this thread originaly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680222
so id look there at my rants b4 trying this
*** if your on stock ics from pc companion just flash the 403 kernal root fone with one click then flash back the 404 kernal for arc ***
** rants the 403 kernal makes phone stop the xperia option in settings will dissaper keyboard fc etc etc,,, some free aps will seem like they dont have full root they do just some features only available on paid apps £££ support ur devs and buy them =) ***
*** flashing the 4.0.4 generic fr ftf is optional as fear as i know i only say to use that 1 as it was the only 1 available at the time i did this and is the only one that i have tried personaly as different regional firmware becomes available i will try them myself but if u have a different ftf file than the one i used i think it should be safe to use as from what iv been reading in other root threads ie xperia pro arc s etc they all seem to be following the same steps i did to root with locked bootloads and dont apperar to make any difference =)
*** as mentioned i found that the 2nd root package doesnt need to be done however i found that it was a little quicker to respond to apps than the other this one popps up with 8 secs left to press button but other i found to be a little laggy even after an update from market poping up after like 4 secs of pressing root apk request with only 3 seconds left to choose grant/deny,
2 other things i found with the french 4.0.4 there was an apn stored in there via default and if u try to delete or edit it or discard it then got to home screen and try to go back to apn's it crashes settings however i was still able to make calls recieve n send text go on webb via mobile currier but had emergency calls displayed in the quick panel
the other was when selecting network it takes some time loading them and if u press on the screen b4 it brings any network up it will just send u bk to the previous screen having to start the whole thing again lol well anoying best to just wait or ajust screen time out maybe ?? easy solution
instalation ov busy box seems optional m not linking any to the thread tho there are several available on the market choose ur own preferance =)
Thanks, Worked well for me. Phone is rooted now with locked boot loader.
