[Q] Please help me flashing my x8

Hi everyone, after some attempts to flashing 2.1 on my x8 (it's a prototype) i can't boot again, i get the sony ericsson logo that loops forever..
I've tried to repair it using seus, but it says that there are no updates for my phone and i don't get any repair options..
So i'm trying with bin4ry's flash tool, but with no luck, i've almost put every rom found here on xda but after the flashing process ends with no errors, i reboot the phone and nothing happens. the only thing i can access is xrecovery, but I have no backup to recovery from.
can someone help me??
Cheers
Luca

It also happen to me. Did you tried with pc companion? Go to software update, and click repair. This will install a clean android 2.1

thanks for the reply, but i can't connect to pc companion because the phone doesn't start, so i can only go in flash mode, no debug or usb..

Try to find prototype (brown) fw somewhere... if you know someone with setool box, i think he can get you prototype fw from support area...

? i'm using the flasher, the point is to find a prototype compatible rom i think...

When you go to flash your phone with X10FlashTool, select the option wipe data user, (or something like that, i can't remember now).. at least, it works for me.. XD

Attach phone to computer whilst phone is on, run flashtool, see if flashtool finds the phone.
Then flash the file given by sahibunlimited.

[Solved] GPS problem ...

Hello people.
I have a problem on my GS4, everytime i want to use the GPS, it can't locate me at all, it says : "searching for GPS signal"
Everything is activated (GPS, Data, Wifi) as it should be.
When i boot my phone, it finds the signal, but it drops it like 5 minutes later and the only way to get it back is to reboot my phone.
Any idea how i can fix this ?
Thanks in advance :victory:

Well problem solved in two steps :
1st : i've tighten up all the screws as seen on this post (yes it was for the GS3 not the GS4 but it was worth a try)
2nd : i've used Faster Fix
And now it gets the signal stronger than ever :victory:
Thanks to both of you guys !

EDIT: Phone is rooted with stock firmware still installed, would anyone know how I can fix the Touchwiz home dock now that the phone is rooted?

[FIXED] Soft-bricked Note 3 LTE (SM-N9005)

When I turn my phone on it goes into boot loop. I tried accessing TWRP but it's not good either, it would just show the startup screen and nothing will happen. I don't know how this happened because my phone was working perfectly last night before I slept. I didn't charge my phone so when I woke up the battery was drained. So I plugged in my charger and turn it on, it'll just go into boot loop just like what I said earlier. Please help. I have read that I should flash stock through Odin, but where can I find it? Please help. Thanks!

Thanks, I actually know that I have to go to that site to download the firmware, I just needed some confirmation haha! But this here is my real (stupid-ish) question, is it possible to recover/access my data? Will it be lost after flashing?

When my device was bricked a bit times... I flashed the firmware and all my data wasn't lost it just changed the system and did not delete any data... But make sure u only flash the firmware version that was present before u bricked your device....
MOST of the times it doesn't delete any data☺

Okay, thanks! Well, I have a custom ROM before and it's version is 6 the stock firmware available is 5. What will happen then?

@leosrw It works now but unfortunately I lost my data it asks for a factory reset so yeah they're all gone. Well, no worries, they're not that important anyway. Thanks for your help!
