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!
Hie.. Guys..
you will find almost everything here regarding flashtool n unlocking bootloader..
-->Even Link to see manufacturing date using imei number
these are the basic steps to go through while using flash tool..
correct me if any where required..
Warning these can brick you're phone..
REQUIREMENT
-->P.C companion should be installed on your computer for required phone drivers. ( i.e semc drivers for usb connection)
-->enable debugging in settings-application-development.
-->download flash tool
http://androxyde.github.com/
-->install flashtool
-->install drivers from C:\Flashtool\drivers (also gordane gate[ggsetup] that are also drivers required)[after installation it would be good to reboot p.c once]
--> on first connection flash tool might ask to select you're device from a list in dialouge box that will appear, just select our x8 E15i(even for W8)
Let us start with ROOTING
1)Connect your x8/w8 to p.c and open flash tool..{donot turn on usb connection let it be in charging mod}
2)now click on the root tab in flash tool as shown in the image attached..
3)wait untill the process is over.. during these the phone will reboot and will get the dialouge box asking for connecting phone or charging(the one that appears when we connect USB)
4)don't do anything just wait for phone to reboot and complete the process.. after reboot the process will go on so wait for the line "ROOT ACCESS ALLOWED" to appear in flash tool..
5)then you're phone is rooted now you can unpluge.. :good:
Now lets go for INSTALLING RECOVERY
1)open flashtool and connect you're phone.. {donot turn on usb connection let it be in charging mod}
2)Now click the recovery tab and leave the rest to flash tool
3)you will see "Recovery successfully installed" and you're done
APK INSTALLER
1)for these you will have to first put apk files of the apps you want to install in
C:\Flashtool\custom\apps
2)NOw again connect phone same as we did and open flash tool..
3)click APK installer tab and wait for the process to be over "APK Installation finished"..
THESE ONE IS TO FLASH KERNELS AND RESCUE YOU'RE BRICKED PHONE BY FLASHING STOCK ROM ALSO IN CASE OF BRICK
1)download ".ftf" file, (that can be kernel or stock rom) and place it(.ftf file) to the C:\Flashtool\firmwares director (to flash custom kernel you require unlocked bootloader)
Stock rom
2)now launch the flashtool and connect usb to computer. (do not connect usb to your phone)
3)click "flash" tab then select flashmode.
4)switch of your x8.
5)select the ".ftf" file to be flashed to your device
6)When the instruction pops up, press and hold "back" button on your X8 and plug the cable into it. Keep holding untill you see that flashing of files has begun(LED GREEN APPEARS) , then you may release it. (plug only when the instruction's pop up)
7)when it's done unplug and reboot.
If you get the downloded file as zip instead of .ftf just rename it to .ftf..
That's all you are done..
correct me if anywere required..
Here's the another use of FLASH TOOL.
its for unlocking bootloader..
WARNING- THESE CAN HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT
Try unlocking you're bootloader only if you don't have manufacturing date 11W29+
To check you're manufacturing date look at you're phone's back after removing the battery..
Or if you have scratched it of or have got another hardware as you got hardbrick once have a look here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700465
You must have flashtool installed with required drivers stated above..
First you must check you're sim certifacte using S1tool
http://www.mediafire.com/?iwnjno9hirpgcm1
1)switch off your phone
2)open s1tool.exe after unzip
3)Select IDENTIFY and then click on "DO JOB"
4)now as the instructions appear connect your phone holding back button untill the process starts(and green LED).
4)now after the process is done look out for " XXXX SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE"
If you get it then you can go ahead.. if you get "NOT RECOGNIZED SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE" then I would recomend not to unlock bootloader..
NOW
1)open flashtool and connect your phone(phone should be on)
2)your phone will be recognized.
3)if your phone isn't recognized then a window will pop up asking you to select the device you have(i.e you have connected)
4)now select plugins/(insert you're device name) and click unlock/run
5)now a window will popup asking you to connect your phone in flash mode..
i)unplug usb from your device(donot unplug usb from p.c)
ii)switch off your phone and now again connect usb while pressing and holding on "back" button (of your cell) untill the green LED appear and the popup message is gone..
6)now wait untill the process is done and flash tool will ask u to disconnect your device..
7)now after disconecting your device, turn it on and connect the usb cable again, let flashtool push the required files in to your phone. when it is done flash tool will have a message "succefully unlocked" and your device will reboot.
u can use S1tool to verify it..
CHECK--- "9/9/2011 21:45:46 RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A029""
If you get the "r" in place of "#" congrats..
If "#" is replaced by "R" then its not unlocked..
If you don't have network signal on inserting sim after unlocking bootloader..
Relock you're bootloader using S1 tool after getting back to stock rom of our x8/w8 i.e 2.1 and unlock it again..
How to relock bootloder??!!

i did exactly what u told me but same result
ok.. are you on a custom rom??
one last thing you can try switch off you're phone open flashtool, don't do anything in flashtool, now just connect you're phone in flashmod similar to s1tool by holding back key untill process starts or green LED.
You're phone wiil be identified or it will ask you to select you're phone from a list..
if these also doesn't work then you can try factory reset/delvikcache wipe and try it or even after these last one revert to stock rom 2.1 and then everything will be fine..

Look, I can't boot it anymore even to TWRP + no logo is shown ... is this helps ? Really ... Should I try to search firmware and flash in it and flash it by Flashtool ? How could I do this ? Should I do this:
Disassemble your phone;
Remove battery and connect each golden point on main board one by one to metal shield and attach usb cable.

You don't need to disassemble your phone.
Just turn it off by holding the yellow button on the back (till you feel 3 vibrations)
I assume you didn't unlock your bootloader.
Here's a detailed instruction on how to flash stock;
_____________________________________
Preparing Flashtool:
_____________________________________
Download Flashtool (v0.9.18.6)
Install
Go to installed folder\drivers (C:\Flashtool\drivers)
Install them (Flashmode, Fastboot, Viskan common)
Restart PC
Turn off phone
Press and Hold vol. down button and connect usb (flashmode drivers will be installed)
Disconnect
Press and Hold vol. up button and connect usb (fastboot drivers will be installed)
----------------------------------------------------------
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
_____________________________________
Flashing stock.ftf:
_____________________________________
Open Flashtool
Click 'Flash' button
Select 'Flashmode'
Locate and select .ftf file
When asks, switch off phone,
Press and Hold vol. down button and connect usb [Green LED will burn]
It'll detect the phone
Leave the vol button
Wait till the process is finished.
----------------------------------------------------------
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
However, if you did unlock your bootloader before,
you can directly fastboot-flash the TWRP.img and get access to recovery.
Welcome.

You don't need to disassemble your phone.
Just turn it off by holding the yellow button on the back (till you feel 3 vibrations)
I assume you didn't unlock your bootloader.
Here's a detailed instruction on how to flash stock;
However, if you did unlock your bootloader before,
you can directly fastboot-flash the TWRP.img and get access to recovery.

Hi all,
Today I will explain you how to unbrick your dead phone, now that I have a XA Ultra for dev and test I tried to kill it (yes I'm crazy).
until now I didn't searched all ways because my XA was my daily phone and when I asked the community to send or sell me a dead phone, no answers
I tried many ways to brick and unbrick the phone, tried to brick it by not using FSC file, using an old Falshtool, flashing boot.img from an other device (Xperia X and Z5 ) and I always recovered it. In my last try the phone was totally dead, no red light and not detected by my computer but all ended fine :good: I will upload a video soon.
On Mediatek devices, if the preloader is not corrupted you can always recover it. If it doesn't work for you maybe you can use some "special" boxes to connect on the UART serial port and flash the preloader but I didn't find the correct pinout on it and no proofs what will work on XA and Ultra.
Other thing, if someone claim that he found an other way and need your phone (and money), don't trust it until you have some real proofs (some users know what I mean), it's probably a scam to steal your phone.
By following this guide you will void the warranty so do it only if you can't send it to Sony!!
## What we need ?
- Some tools to open the device (a plastic card can be enough)
- The last version of Flashtool
- Flashmode drivers installed (you can install them from Flashtool)
- A firmware downloaded from Xperifirm (inclued in Flashtool)
- One set of sticker glue tape for the backplate like this one:
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.co...4ff8978f9e--waterproof-stickers-glue-tape.jpg
## Step by step guide
1. Follow this video to remove the backplate (thanks to the author): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O5dAljOpR4
2. Unplug the battery connector, pull it from the upper side very slowly or you can damage it.
3. Open Flashtool and load the firmware (remove all TA related partitions), click "flash" and wait until you see the popup to plug the phone.
4. Hold "vol-" and plug the phone, you will see the red light 1 seconde and the green light just after.
5. Release "vol-" button and wait until the end of the flash process.
6. Unplug the phone, plug the battery connector and power on the phone.
7. If it's ok the phone will start and you can put the backplate again (clean the old glue and put the new sticker)
## How to avoid brick
First of all you must understand that flashing something on our devices is always dangerous, official or unofficial things.
Generally our devices goes wrong after updating the firmware, to reduce the risk you have to follow some simple things:
- Don't unlock the bootloader and use OEM tools.
- Always download files from trusted sources.
- When you use Flashtool, always use the last version, download the firmware from the inclued Xperifirm and always use FSC file when asked.
If it worked for you, don't forget to feedback, hit the thank button and why not offer me a coffee

You followed my guide? Have you the green led?
what should i do if i don't get the green led and can't enter flash mode
It stays at the red light..
what else can i do?
If it doesn't work for you I don't know what you can do. Maybe if one day it doesn't work for me too I will try some more experimental things or if I can have a device with the same problem in my hands.
Welcome my dear friend! My phone is also lit red led. How to reflash?
Unfortunately at this time their no way to reflash your phone if you have that red light flash only
If don't have flash mode or fastboot use able their is not a way to recover.

my xa ultra dual wont response the touchscreen
hi all I desperately need advice for my unresponse or maybe likely death xperia xa ultradual.
I have some lagging issues at first then I reset to factory, then comes normal then a week later become lagging again,and finally stuck in the welcome screen after xperia logo and I the touchscreen becomes totally unresponsive ,the detailed are in this link youtu.be/_ELKIpn7QG8
I wonder should I change the LCD TOUCHSCREEN or is it just some corrupt files that caused this problem, because I experience someflickering isssues in the screen. FYI I still learning howto use a flashtool cause I am afraid that it can brick myphone.
very much appreciated,warms regards from Indonesia
my BL still locked but I dunno, somehow i feel safe & happy to found this thread
keep the good job mate!
sony- android- xperia- off
good day! i hope im on the correct thread. i am having this issue on my xperia xa ultra dual.
everytime i turn the device on, it displays the sony logo, then the android logo, the xperia logo, then it turns off. i cant seem to get past through this regardless if i'll press the volume- and power or the volume+ and power. im almost certain that this can be fixed by doing something on the flashtool. i guess i just dont know how to do it. a step-by-step tutorial is greatly appreciated.
If you have why not share it in xda? Probably you are a scammer and request money in order to unbrick phone... Seen so many like you

I totally agree with you, and now you can see fake users who post fake feedbacks but until now we have absolutely no proof about this miracle
Its like videos on youtube with title saying 2017 paypal free money hack, which directs you to a survey site and wants you to pay money in order to download a 'paid virus' even though it says free you still pay for a virus. They are too funny man

F3213 DEAD
SOMC MTK6755 Virtual Serial PORT Driver shown in device manager .
hey there my xa ultra phone is not even starting like its fully dead what is the solution
I know I'm late but, Those who are having problems with green light not showing up:
1. Hold the Volume Down button
2. Connect USB
3. Keep holding the button for 30 seconds atleast.
When bricked, device doesn't show green light readily. It takes atleast 30 seconds.
Thank you
You're the BOSS! You've saved my Mini ST15i. Thank you! :highfive:
