I was using the flash tool to boot my phone in xRecovery but when it started turning on it got stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo. It's been there for about a day. I can't restore in PC companion as my phone needs to be on. What should i do?
Use SEUS or FlashTool to reinstall firmware
There are about 3 more topics about this... here is one answer...
If you want me to explane sth, ask it here
Remove the battery.
Open PC Companion or SEUS.
Select repair.
Put the battery.
Run the phone into flash mode ( press back then plug with usb cable ).
Phone detected, repaired.
Hope this help.
Just follow the step in this link, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11934117&postcount=7) Then everything will go gine...^^..Cheer!!
dp full wipe from xrecovery and install the rom again!
Not rooted, no ROMs, just won't boot past SE logo.
Can't get into ADB as before this happened, the development box wasn't ticked.
Could do with someone telling me how to get into Fastboot (and if it's possible).
Much love ~
just relax mate, reflash using SEUS (Sony ericson update service) download it on sony ericsson.. just follow the instuction in it and it will be alright.
Hi there,
The SEUS thing is rubbish. I hold the back button like it asks (when plugging in USB) and doesn't allow me to progess. The other application (PCC) is not what I need, but SEUS is in the right direction.
Got SEUS working, installed the original update.
Then installed xrecovery and rooted and threw a 2.3 ROM on. Looking good!
Case closed!
So I tried Flashing FB v019 and it gave me a symlink error. After numerous attempts and a wrong click, I ended up with a bootloop. I reflashed from SEUS and during the update my computer lost power, it's an unplugged laptop. So now when I turn on the phone I get a triangle warning sign with a phone lying beside it. SEUS will not flash it and all SE Customer Service told me after 1 hour with them was to wait, even though SEUS is stuck on the screen that detects the system.
I'm thinking that somehow in the process of all this the old system got deleted and the new system didn't get in. So now I essentially have an empty phone with no system. The USB flash works though because my computer and PC Companion can detect it, but I think that's about it.
Does anyone have suggestions? Is there something that could do a forced installation of a system?
If there's nothing maybe I'll have to go to a service center.
Flash the original firmware via flashtool.
Download it here,

Download also the first ROM image and follow the instructions on how to install it.
Then try again with FroyoBread.
Guys, my wife's X8 just got busted..
touchscreen is gone.. display is still there but not responding to touch anymore.
(I did everything I can.. so confirmed it's a hardware issue).
I've flashed this to a custom ROM.
How can I flash this back to stock 1.6? Along with the SE GUI?
I ran search on forum and found I need to download SE PC Companion, or SEUS.. will that do the trick? I need confirmation because my internet connection at home is quite slow, and I need to send this back for warranty ASAP.
Thanks all.
Yeah, download SEUS, select repair and it will install stock 2.1
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Thanks Godra..
However I found this from SE Website..
How to use
1. On the computer: Start PC Companion.
2. Connect the USB cable to your computer and then to the phone..
3. On the phone: Select the "Connect your phone" option.
4. Wait for the phone to connect.
5. On the computer: From the Dashboard, select the applications to start different services and get information.
----
Issue is the touchscreen is busted, so I can't select the "Connect your phone" option.
Any other flashing method to get back to stock without them noticing that I've modded?
use the Flashtool.
You´ll have the choice beetween different 1.6 and 2.1 ROMs, and you just need to putn your phone into flashmode for this, so you don´t have to touch the screen.
You can try x10 flashtool. I would post you a link to the thread but im currently on my x8 so you ll have to use search...

Thanks codfreak and Godra.. I'll try first and see how it goes.
Appreciate your help. God bless!
Dear all, I found out that I've made a nandroid backup of the original stock ROM and saved it on my computer hard disk (see.. always do a nandroid backup!)
Anyway, I have xRecovery installed on the phone.. how do I uninstall it?
Flash with SEUS. You need first to turn OFF your phone (better to pull out battery). Run SEUS, choose your phone, next.
When SEUS asks, put your battery in while pressing back button. It will restore original Eclair.
unfortunately after using Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0, the app is unable to detect my phone.
Upon connect via USB, it asked me to do something to the phone.. which require touchscreen interaction before it could identify..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You are not trying SEUS?
I think there is no need to touch anything on phone because SEUS is needed your phone to turn off.
wc_how, yeah I didn't use SEUS.. hehe..
Oh well, I sent the phone after nandroid restore.. stock ROM.. as it is..
At the service center, one lady tested my phone.. checked the hardwares.. all appears ok, no sign of drop.. while I explained about the touchscreen issue..
All of a sudden she enters xRecovery before I knew it.. and she was greeted by this smirking Android face...
She paused, take a look at me... I smiled...
She turned the phone off and said "Ok, we're going to replace the touchscreen for you, please sign here - here's your reference number, we will call you - or you can call us when the device is ready"
And I was off.. hehehe
Your lucky then, enjoy
Hello Everybody,
My Question:
Well I know its not possible but still I am asking you if it is Possible to have Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i Firmware on X8??
Reason For ASking:
Two days ago I was using XGIN ROM with Alfs Kernel then I connected my phone to the the PC and PC Companion detected my phone as X10i. That's strange.
Suddenly I decided to check for firmware update for it. It said update available. Then I decided to update it as X10i firmware. PC companion downloaded the update but at the time of installation when hardly 5% process was remaining my device suddenly booted up and shows sony ericsson default kernel logo and then switched off itself.
Then again installing process started itself and finished installation. After that my device is soft bricked. (Now I repaired It using Flashtool again.)
So finally I was unsuccessful in Installing X10i Firmware on X8.
Anyone knows about it that why SE logo appeared for a while during the installation.??
Yes, PC companion shows it as X10 device.
I never tried to update it as its dangerous. But you did this and got a strange thing.
Even I don't know why SE logo appeared for a while but I can guess......mmm....may be its due to x10i stock kernel installed on your phone during installation process.....
