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:

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.

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

Download some room,move to sd card,turn on the phone,enter to recovery,to full wipe and install custom zip

Stuck At Sony Ericcson Screen! HELP! X10a

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.
Cheers,
Lunar.

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?

try the Androxyde & Bin4ry flash tool.. i had a similar problem. xrecovery wouldn't install thru the apk.. i used the flash tool to install the recovery..
the latest 1 also has a BL unlocking tool.. the flashtool version is v6.8.0 or something as far as i remember..

Thanks for the reply, I'm currently trying to update using SEUS v.2.11.4.11, I'll try using Androxyde and Bin4ry. SEUS is giving me instructions to go into flash mode and i cant now. The phone will just boot to the Sony Ericsson screen and then stop like before.\
I got SEUS working, phone is back to stock state. Thanks for help guys.

How bricked your phone is? Bootloop or complete brick.
You can try using sony pc companion to repair phone.
Also worth trying is flashtool and standard firmware tft via flashmode.

Did you flash the CM9 kernel?
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk

I bet it's Bootloop.Because he had forgotten to flash the kernel,cause of it's newbie
experience.Flash the correct kernel and it'll be alright.

Hi,
i too need help unbricking
i initially forgot to flash the kernel but thx to my efforts unbricking i cant flash a new kernel (fastboot says not rooted)
I used Flashtool to flash LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42.ftf on the phone which did work but before i was "just" stuck at Sony Logo (Text only) and usb connection was permanent. Now it looks like its rebooting every ~20 sec logo disappears and appers a few secs later. The USB Connection is only present for about 1-2sec then it disconnects again.
Fastboot & Flash mode work.
CWM was installed (dunno if the IMG overwrote it.)
Somebody an idea how to get it running again?
Any Help is appreciated

Chang

You dont need root to fastboot. Just flash a kernel or install the orginal frimware
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

Okay....
i dont know WHY but i was able to flash the kernel now. dunno why it before always said error not rooted.
I'm flashing new rom now will edit in few minutes
a big THX to you

EDIT: Yea Phone is running again ! THX again !
