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

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

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

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my Xperia X10i:
I had it with the Cyanogem mod 6.1 (2.2 Froyo), it was working well but i had several issues with the speed so i decided to go back to the old stock 2.1 Eclair.
Everything i did it's as follows:
I performed a complete wipe using xrecovery (Not a factory reset, it's the option that is in advanced features inside xrecovery)
After that i think i bricked it cause it was displaying the SE start logo and nothing else (Hours displaying that logo and didn't load the OS)
I decided to use Flashtool using a stock Eclair 2.1 after that when i tried to turn it on all it did was a continuous vibration, i flashed it again and now all it does is that it starts the screen flashes around three times and then restarts itself.
It's stuck on that restart loop i have tried to flash it many times but nothing happens.
I used SEUS, PC companion but both of them says that i have the latest software installed (Even the REPAIR option in PCC says that there's no new software for my device, try again later)
I don't know what else to do, how can i bring it back to life?
HELP i don't want to loose this phone or wait till Gingerbread sees the light!!
(Is a long post but i tried to explain everything step by step)
Hello,
i will try to help u out here. I've been flashing stock ROM's countless times so far and it always worked fine.
What u should do is grab the latest version of FlashTool here:

mainly because it should give best compatibility with all devices it supports
Then, grab a fresh copy of stock firmware files from this thread:

I also have a X10i, so i use X10i_2.1.B.0.1_GENERIC version of the firmware which u can get here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?y4wk8u21wpdkbqa
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I kind of like to feel safe when i flash a firmware, so i always tend to use the latest version there is.
After that just get it rooted and put xrecovery on your device. Then u get zdzihu's new kernel on it and u're all set
Use SEUS. When it says "already has latest software" just click on install in bottom right corner of window don't worry about it already being on latest firmware this is just mainly based on build.prop.
It will reinstall the stock firmware. This will wipe all data.

Thanks to all, i already solved it.
I grabbed the original firmware (1.6) from Orange france found in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872298,
I used Flashtool to build the ftf and voila, the installation was flawless and now my handset is back to life.
when trying to re-flash using SEUS make sure to delete the db file/folder of SEUS so that it will not detect that phone has latest software
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum please bump me to the right thread if posted wrong;
After unsuccessful upgrade to 2.3.3 and roll back to 1.6 I've got stuck with emergency call screen. NO other functions are available on the screen. X10 wont take upgrade via SEUS or Companion. Upgrade via flasher to 2.1 is unsuccessful as well - it just wont boot at all. I've attached the screen shots from the service menu ( Menu < < Menu < Menu Menu <) for your reference.
Thanks in advance,

We could use a bit more info.. How did you upgrade only through SEUS? Or did you try a custom ROM and performed the upgrade/downgrade step by step following the info provided on the forum.
The more info we get on what you have done, the better we can help.
Thanks for your replies
Here is what I have attempted so far:
1. Flash tool and forum instructions:
a) Device will take any 1.6 (branded or unbranded) firmware but wont allow to use any features of interface other then emergency calling
b) 2.1 firmware with different revisions/baselines have been attempted as well but device just wont boot at all.
c) after flashing with 2.3 firmware device goes in to constant boot_loop.
2. SEUS couldn't locate the new software as my phone has latest software available from the server. (still on 1.6 )
3. Same with SE Companion, it comes up with the message that software is not available for my phone yet.
Hope this clarify some of the issues and thanks again for all your help.
Have you tried to flash any other baseband after flashing the 2.3.3 GB update? You need 0.71 baseband to run the update. I'ts 2 different files.I'm guessing before this happened you never made any backup in Xrecovery wich you could restore and start over again?

True, EWJET kicks ass. But this should work Make sure u follow every step in the ROM's OP. So that you will install the 0.71 baseband this time. Otherwise you will again run into a bootloop.

Hi everyone, I recently tried to install a custom rom to my sony ericcson x10a running gingerbread 2.3.3. I sucessfully rooted my phone and installed busybox, but when I got to xrecovery, i couldnt install it. So I decided to flash my phone to 2.1. After a sucessful flash, I've been stuck at the Sony Ericsson boot screen. I tried using the Pc Companion but even if it does detect my phone, it gives me these instructions:
1. Drag the status bar downwards
2.Tab USB connected
3. Tap Mount
4. PC Companion will connect to the phone.
And without doing those instructions, it wont connect my phone and i cant do anything. Im like really new to all this and would really appreciated anyones input on my problem!
Thanks

There may be some options using latest flash tool. You can download it from one of the threads in the development section.
I am presuming you haven't used flash tool yet. That should also install xrecovery.

Thanks for the reply, I couldn't find anything on the latest flashtool, i think something is wrong with my loader on the phone. But it wont let me flash a new one, i go into flash mode when it asks me and then it magically disconnects and aborts the flash. Is there any other option for me?
Thanks m8
EDIT: My bad for not reading the thread title properly.
Anyways, what were you trying to flash? Can you give us the log of the flashing process?

Just re flash some firmware through PC? I assume you've tried flash tool and that you're not using something else? Short if that there is also a Sony recovery program you could try...
Use Flashtool to recover.
ROMs are not for rooting, my friend. You also need to have custom kernel (for some of the ROMs), if you wish to install custom firmware/ROM.
You can use SEUS to flash the latest firmware to your phone provided you did not unlock bootloader. You can relock the bootloader if you have unlocked it earlier though...
