Step 4: When u got above message click on 'RESTORE' when the restore process completes remove the cable and reinsert your phone battery.
Step 5: Downlaod flashtool here and 4.0.2.A.0.62 Firmware here and extract it.
(Note:for flashtool tutorial click here)
Step 6: Flash the .tft file according to the tutorial and restart your phone, your phone will definitely start
(Note: After restoring, your phones bootloader will be locked, again u have to unlock to install custom kernels or roms.)

Weird the only thing that shows up are the two boxes, (left,right). as far as buttons go you only get "Do Job, stop, quit". Looks nothing like what you have posted..

the flashtools is aborting.. stating to turn on usbdebugging and unknown sources

Simpler...

Hi,
This will fix your unlocked Phones which got bricked through OTA update and are dead now!
Please download this package:
http://www.multiupload.com/Q103V01CV1
Let it extract to a destination of your choice.
After that run Flashtool.exe.
Now hit the button FLASH and select the package which is included.
Follow the steps and connect your phone in flashmode. This is the same mode Pc Companion and SEUS uses to flash your phone to newer firmare (Indicated by green LED), if you got BLUE LED you are in the wrong mode!
Flashtool will now detect your phone and start the repair.
After all is done your phone should be up and running again.
ADVICE:
PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OTA'S ! If you receive a OTA message just decline, if you accept it you will end with a brick AGAIN! So please do NOT accept them until SonyEricsson provides a OTA solution for unlocked Bootloaders!
Best Regards

When you run PCC, left your phone unplugged. The software will not identify the phone, so you have to click on this link as I show in screen below:

this app flashed me new firmware you have to register and you have one poen to do firmware on the phone.Atlast my phone is working again
Relax that is a soft brick and very simple to fix.
PCC and sues won't work for most people. You will need to download and repair with flashtool. Download the x8 ftf file and flash. Just Google xperia x8 softbrick to find the thread with the downloads, I would do it for you but I'm on my phone.

How to relock your bootloader [tut]

Aslaam Alaikom.."Hi"
I tried this way and it work 100%
and I get my stock phone 100%
and locked bootloader
YOU NEED..
1) Flashtool last verson LINK
2) File FTF Which acceptable to you
THEN..
install flashtool then open it
copy your ftf file into smething like this "by default installing" C:\Flashtool\firmwares
turn off your device then hold volume down while connect USB to your device
flashtool will tell you if it know your device
then press in flashtool first button seems like lightning
select flashmode then select from a device column "c6903"
then press flash..
it may take sometime
after finishing
click on BLU button then click on relock
then
just unplug your device and turn it on
your device is 100% stock..:good::good:
This does NOT relock the bootloader!
Dial *#*#7378423#*#*
Goto software info and configuration.
The last line will still say
Bootloader unlocked: yes

sorry..
I just forget on more step which is BLU button
But if you want to do that, you do not need to do any of the previous stuff,
Just clicking on the BLU and choosing relock is enough....
If you have a stock kernel there is no need to do all the previous stuff
If you are on a custom kernel, then you need to flash a stock FTF to get stock kernel and stock system back, otherwise, just clicking the button is enough..
Too much...

Immmm actually I tried what you said but my phone couldn't boot even I had stock kernel
After trying this way everything is ok
How do you know if your bootloader is unlocked,does it show some kind of logo or text.I can remember on Motorola it would say bootloader is unlocked on start up.

Reset to factory stock XNPH38R

Hi All,
if you want an easy way to reset to stock, this is it. Works like a dream, for that squeeky clean, out of the packet install feeling.
This method uses a full 38R factory image from cyanogenmod.
I take no glory for this as our hero @MooDeeY has done the hard work.
You can find the original cyanogenmod files here
http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
MD5: 01e7fc376c13614d38f5c4201310a1bb
http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH38R-bacon-boot-debuggable.img
MD5: 88209189b99ffb7a6bf2534c3b03ab80
No ota baggage here!
"Step 1: Download full XNPH38R rom from here, with adb files & extract it.
https://mega.co.nz/#!NtUxwbBQ!YyOIreiqfJKCC6ZKNwlxi5ubskTLSGKH-DwR39hF_IM
Step 2: Make sure that your phone isn't connected to your PC via USB, because its some times prevent phone from entering fastboot mode correctly.
Step 3: Press VOL+ & Power Button. until you see Fastboot logo. it should be like this picture.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: Some times it ask to confirm if it's your first time to unlock it if you came from Color OS version.
you can use volume buttons to choose between menus and choose yes & Power button for confirm.
Step 4: Connect your phone to pc.
Step 5: In folder that you downloaded in first step you will find a file called Bootloader Unlock just press it & press any key on your keyboard to begin unlock your boot loader.
Step 6: Your phone will restart after unlock. Power it off again & Do Steps 2,3,4 again.
WHY I SHOULD USE THIS WAY !!
- if you have chinese version (Color OS) & want to make it 100% Original cyanogen.
- if you device is bricked or boot loop and can't make it work again.
- if you facing errors after OTA update.
- if your version is too old & want to install latest one without install any previous update.
- if you facing wi-fi issue or connection problem.
** this way install a complete rom from A-Z including stock recovery, modem, boot image, etc.....
Step 7: You will Notice that there is others two files in folder:
Install Rom 16GB = for 16gb phone.
Install Rom 64GB = for 64gb phone.
just open it, press any key, it will start installing new rom for you & lock your bootloader again.
Notice: When downloading using google chrome, maybe a warning message appears to you, this because folder contain .bat files. it's completely safe."
I have been running this since about 10:30 ths morning and it has been problem free. I also got the best antutu score I ever got for this rom on the oneplus with this method, so its cool in my book. I also noticed a big reduction in battery usage, but theres no stats behind this claim.
One last point, this does use the latest images. Its just that cyanogenmod have not updated their website yet.
Why lock the bootloader on the end?
Finally, there's some legit 38R factory images! Why do they still have 33R on https://cyngn.com/products/oneplusone? Thanks for the link! :laugh: :good:

Because it returns to stock. You can edit this out in the script if you want it left unlocked.
There's no need to relock the bootloader. In fact, in several cases locking the bootloader has resulted in not being able to unlock it again.

the link in step one dosent work, could u put up the link again
thanks, i bricked my phone

Nooblet - Need help with my 1+2

Hi,
I bought my phone from Aliexpress. I am very happy with it, but I am facing some issues:
It was pre installed with some diffrent kinds of bloatware.
- Baidu Browser
- DU Battery Saver
- DU Speed Booster
And more see picture -

}
From time to time it tries to download some kinds of files. Seems to be Bloatware aswell. See picture -
In addition to this, the phone also fails to install update: OxygenOS 2.1.1.
I get a message after the reboot, that the install failed, click to reboot.
I've tried to follow this guide "youtube . com/watch?v=-IGDZxeFHAc" with out hope. Most likely something that I am doing wrong.
I have managed to:
Click the RunMe bat file
Install USB drivers
Unlock bootloader
When I try step 4 Flash TWRP Recovery I get to the following message: " Did you see the "okay", then congratulations you have flashed in the recovery "
I did not see the Okay message, and when I press THE any key to quit and boot to recovery, nothing happend its just stuck on Fastboot mode.
Please if anyone could help me I would be very greatful!
Kind regards ..

Download the latest stock firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...rs-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3209863/page9 and flash that using TWRP. Accessing TWRP after flashing it using fastboot is volume down and power. There flash the stock rom, and it should give you a fresh new OP2

[Redmi Note 3 [Mediatek] - Dead Phone - Solved - Guide]

Hi,
For all those who have a dead Redmi Note 3 and not beed able to recover it yet, here is a simple guide which I have tried many times to bring life back to my RN3. Well, the solution is simple. I am using Win 7 64 bit edition.
First, use the SP-Flash-Tool-v5.1532.00 and install the latest stable fastboot ROM, but remember to "ENABLE" the first preloader option in SP Flash tool. When it is finished and you seen GREEN Mark in the end, Try to boot your phone by pressing power button for 10 seconds. If it boots, no need to go to next step. But if nothing happens, go to Next step.
Now download SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1516.00 and install the same fastboot ROM, but remember, this time "DISABLE" the first preloader option in SP Flash tool. When it is finished and you seen GREEN Mark in the end, Try to boot your phone by pressing power button for 10 seconds. Your phone must vibrate and power ON after some seconds. Thats it. Here are some imp links if needed.
1. Install drivers and restart PC
https://mega.nz/#!DtIhzSiD!qLmplkvEQ-ZSegaGbpyMuzH198b90joNhkPkJa6hzWg
2. Download or use a OFFICIAL AND STABLE FASTBOOT ROM
