im not shure if its possible

Im not sure but i think you must have windows
I think there is a version of flashtool for Linux but I don't know if it works with x8.

But i red that you don't need only flashtool... for unlock the bootloader it's needed other software and for now i didn't find any version for linux. for now can you link me the driver for the flashtool because i can find it for linux only without driver

You might also want to try the Xperia Active Launcher instead. It also uses the four corner system, but even better than the stock launcher.

[q] help please!!

When I installed x8 custom rom on w8.. I realize that pc companion detect my phone as x8.. how to fix this... some say that I should use flashtool to fix this..
I make this thread just want to know a few steps how to fix it using flashtool..
PLEASE HELP ME
This happens because of the build.prop .
because of the following lines -
ro.product.model=X8
ro.product.name=X8
ro.product.device=E15i
you might change it to-
ro.product.model=W8
ro.product.name=W8
ro.product.device=E16i
Note that there may be 2 build.prop files-
one in /system
and one in /system/bin
hope this helps

Bricked

Hi,
I've tried to upgrade to CM 10 on my X8, but now i can't boot it since it gets stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo. I've tried Update Service Pc companion and flashtool but none of them worked. Any help would be appreciated!

try seus
It's just a soft brick. Pcc, seus, and flashtool should be able to help you out. But what do you mean they don't work? More info please. What happens when you flash stock rom using flashtool, for example?

[Help] X8 won't root

Hello everyone. As the title says I have rooting problem on my X8 device.
My x8 was already rooted before and i had had custom rom on it.
Few days back I wanted to put another rom, while doing that X8 got bricked.
I fixed it via PC Companion and everything is alright until i try to root it.
(Following links are in text form, I just made this account and can't make links jet.)
SuperOneClick:
When I click root, first error I get is this:
i.imgur.com/JjY36qY.png
After clicking Yes I get new window popping up saying.
Unknown error(0xe00022b) (last 3 latters change every time i try)
I click OK and it starts rooting. After few sec, it freezes like this:
i.imgur.com/b9vQD3X.png
All I get here is text on right blinking every few seconds.
x8toolbox:
Realizing that this won't work i tried via x8toolbox
There i get error:
i.imgur.com/poydVDJ.png
(Image is low qualtiy, but that is maximum I can get from that program.)
I don't know what to do. I was searching forums for days in hope to resolve my problem and had no luck.
Please, if anyone know anything about this problem I would appreciate your help.
Thank you in advance.
Maybe you can....
I prefer if one app doesnt work try different apps like z4root .....etc ...dont get stuck on only one app...
Link to z4root is
http://mediafire.com/?78b3yt3gooiazzo
Download the apk...and follow the instructions...
Feel free to ask questions...
Hit thanks if it helped..

I'm pretty sure I am using X8.

Yeah, I'm using Windows 8. It may be the problem, becouse before I returned him back to normal via PCC, I had Windows 7 installed and it worked.
Thanks for help. I'll let you know what happened when I try on Windows 7.
Reflash the stock rom and try again
