SE Tweaker Tool is a Tool + Guide to make some tweaks to ur phone With ease.. For Now it Only Supports X10 mini pro | X10 mini | X8 | W8
Thanks to lucastan96 who brought me to notice that most of the X8 users dont know about this tool which would be Of great help, It originally belongs the X10 mini pro Section. Hope it helps you as it did for others.
lucastan96 will help u if you get stuck anywhere. thanks
This TOOL includes of all the necessary utilities like Root/UnRoot for Xperia U20i and Xperia X8, installing CWM Recovery for FOR Xperia U20i and Xperia X8, UNLOCKING/RELOCKING THE BOOTLOADER FOR X10 mini pro | X10 mini | X8 | W8 With necessary guide [ tried to make it as simple as possible ]
NOTE: Dealing with the bootloader is highly dangerous and can result in a hard brick if you don't follow the proper instructions. Then, you will have to go and repair your phone by sending it to SE. I am not responsible if your phone dies on you because you didn't follow instructions or you screwed up somehow.
Only For people getting error related iscoolbutton.ocx.. Just Run the ocx_fix.bat in the downloaded tool and then Run the SE Tweaker Tool..
For Rooting n stuffs just click it on the ROOT/Unroot button in the tool [Supports Xperia u20i and Xperia X8 for now]
For Unlocking Bootloader read below:
Requirements: Rooted phone, Sony Ericsson PC Companion installed in PC, Courage
You do not need to have a sim lock on your phone to unlock your Bootloader.
Recommended: ----'
-->Disable your Antivirus (it might find a "virus" in ADB.exe even though there isn't one and might even interfere in bootloader unlocking process)
-->USB debugging enabled..
Note: Unlocking the bootloader of your phone will restore the original sim lock of your phone (if you had any) unless if you unlocked with EMMA/IMEI unlock code or it was factory-unlocked or if SE unlocked it! However, some users have reported that using msm7227_semc.cmd on their sim-unlocked phones did not restore the sim lock onto their phone. Unlock the bootloader on your sim unlocked phone AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Download the files needed for the unlock.
Download Flashtool (needed for S1tool to work properly and for loading custom kernels next time) and install it (not necessary if you already have Flashtool):
Download and install Flashtool v0.5.3 here (follow instructions on the website): http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
(Credits go to Androxyde and Bin4ry for this tool.)
After installing it, open the flashtool folder and open the drivers folder inside that. Double click on the ggsetup-2.2.0.11.exe file inside and install Gordon's Gate.
Then restart your computer... if you dont Find GORDAN'S gate.exe in the drivers folder download it from my attachments ..
Steps To unlock Bootloader: [SUPPORTS X10 mini pro | X10 mini | X8 | W8]
1) After installing Gordans Gate and the flashtool Turn off your phone.
2) Download SE Tweaker Tool AlsoMirror[Mediafire] and unzip it.
3) Run SE_Tweaker_Tool.exe from it.
NOTE: If no flashtool download from the dialog box appeared after running unlockbootloader.exe
4) Turn off ur phone
5) Select unlock_bootloader button.. run S1tool button to check if the your phone has SIM UNLOCK CERTIFICATE.[i.e click on "Do" in s1tool and compare the output]
6) Boot your phone into flash mode (make sure you installed Gordon's Gate and usb debugging is on). All users, press and hold back button while connecting cable from PC to phone. Continue holding back button until you get some output. The LED on your phone should flash green if it is in flash mode.
7) Click on how it should look.. it will give u an idea how the output will be..
NOTE- At this moment you should know if you have SIM UNLOCK CERTIFICATE or what ever the output was.. keep that in mind..
8) Now disconnect[/COLOR] your phone n boot it up.Connect it again to PC (make sure your USB DEBUGGING is enabled and antivirus is disabled)
9) Now click the check box which is right for you [Read them carefully it will be according to the output you got with s1tool] run the corressponding button..
10) After it proceed to check if the unlocking of bootloader was done by clicking Check If your "Bootloader is unlocked And Proceed" button..
11) Reboot your phone to flashmode as before.. Run s1tool.. N compare the output..
If the line RUNNING S1_EROM FROM VER "#8A02$" has a lowercase "r" letter replacing the "#" (RUNNING S1_EROM FROM VER "r8A02$"), your bootloader has been unlocked . If it has an uppercase "R" replacing the "#" (RUNNING S1_EROM FROM VER "R8A02$"), your bootloader is NOT unlocked.
Re-locking the Bootloader Follow the steps in the Tool
DOWNLOAD THE KERNEL WHICH YOU WANT
[Note: If it is downloaded in *.zip or *.rar format just open with any zip tool like Winrar or 7zip tool n extract the *.ftf file to your drive n later put in into the /firmwares folder of flashtool and follow below steps to Flash]
How to flash custom kernels:
Put the *.ftf file in the /firmwares folder. ( flash only the .ftf file.)
1. Open Flashtool.
2. Click Flash.
3. Select (kernel name).ftf.
4. Turn off your phone.
5. Connect your phone in flash mode (only when the popup window prompts for you to do so). (To boot into flash mode, press and hold back button while connecting your phone to the PC using an usb cable).
6. Disconnect your phone (do so only when the popup window to prompts you to disconnect your phone).
7. Reboot and you have a custom kernel!
8. Confirm by going to Settings --> About Phone --> Kernel version. It should have the name of the kernel you flashed.
--> To flash back to stock kernel, download the appropriate file below and follow steps listed above.

I did it on windows.Solved the 0% issue.After locking bootlander and flashing step 1 do not try the step 2 root.Instead do the step 3 flashing.Then boot phone turn on DEBUGGING and tick UNKNOWN SOURCES.Then install the step2-DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su-batterydriver (1).zip and leave the cmd window on as u switch on the phone and press any key with cmd window on .Rooting takes place as the phone turns on.If u root after the phone has turned on fully, the phone dies in the middle of the root.After that install FuelGaugeFixV16.apk and u will start seeing the actual battery % too.U R DONE.ENSOI-----FROM MAK.Please reply and tell me if it has worked
No luck for me. After completing flash of step 1 and 3, I cannot get zerg rush to catch. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I open command window then begin and the process starts running. After I see "waiting for device" I turn on the phone, then the program runs and the phone ends up on the battery charging screen. If I turn phone back on while plugged in it starts and then I get first error "mount: permission denied (are you root?)". After further error phone restarts. Result..no root. . Any assistance you can provide is helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hi alohajacks,
I had the same problem as you where the zerg rush didnt work but what i did was before opening the runme.bat I opened up the files folder and opened the adb file. Then I opened the runme.bat
Hope this helps...

Never caught
Update 9/1
Sorry for the extremely late reply. I got busy trying to get the Vita hacked and then ...
Bottom line: Tried new method of opening folders = result was no change.
Currently have :1 stock SO-01c Docomo 2.3.4 Build 4.0.1.C.1.24 / locked bootloader
:1 rooted SO-01c Docomo 2.3.2 Build 3.0.D.2.79 / locked bootloader **(0% battery error)**
I would like to have both rooted with custom roms and if possible sim unlocked.
I have looked at the many forums and realized that I am only getting more confused.
It was so much easier with the G1 and MyTouch.
Any help with next step would be greatly appreciated.
I am willing to pay or donate reasonably to achieve my goals.
Thanks in advance.

I have installed GingerDX v23b on my Xperia X8 device (The last version developed by DX - don't remember his username) and was very happy with it. but I wanted the dual touch. It didn't work the way I wanted it to antil I've found a thread in FXP (a Israeli forum) which guided the installation of GingerDX v24 and dual touch.
I followed the instructions. I installed xRecovery and after that the DualTouch file.
AKA: htt p:// www .mediaf ire.com /?w5su i27ktb 6icj9
Installed the dualtouch, got back to the xRecovery main menu and pressed reboot.
Now my phone is stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo and I have no idea what to do.
So... I need help ASAP!!

Flash your kernel again and do a full wipe and flash your ROM....
GingerDX already got dual touch but if it is not working on you...then your digitizer is cypress and u can have real dual touch... search the forum and there are topics about bringing DT to GDX

Hello,
erm,I think u should unlock the bootloader? before installing any costum Rom. and any kernel (ROM require costume kernel). ROM GingerDX v23b use stock kernel? i suggest u read carefully the thread, maybe u missed something. try reflash kernel (if u already unlock bootloader) or repair with SEUS and start over again. it happend to me when i flash costum rom that need costum kernel. or maybe u need to flash it with CWM, not xRecovery?
Do enlighten me if im wrong.
Peace,
you dont need to change the kernel to install Ginger DX.
Is the recovery coming on when you press the back key at the logo?
If so, you can reflash the ROM.
if not, use the flashtool to burn a new firmware or you might even be able to connect the phone to SEUS and flash the stock firmware onto the phone.
i dont think you phone is bricked. it might be a software error.
cool down and read the "what you should do if you brick the phone" thread.

Try this THREAD first.
If it doesn't work, you'll have to restore your X8 to it's original state. Follow these instructions STEP BY STEP:
- On your PC, uninstall Sony PC Companion
- Restart your PC
- Reinstall Sony PC Companion by downloading it from here
- Turn off the phone, and unplug it from the PC
- Turn on Sony PC Companion on your PC
- In PC Companion, enter the Support Zone tab
- Go to Update Phone Software
A window will pop out, saying that it cannot find your phone
- Click on Fix Phone
- Click on Continue
A window will pop out, saying that you will lose all your data
- TICK the BOX
- Click on continue
An update process will began.
Wait for it to show a window with all the SONY mobile phones
- Find your phone (X8)
- Click on the phone.
Now all you have to do is follow the on-screen instructions. It will tell you to hold the back button and plug your turned-off X8 to the PC, then it will erase everything, and download the original 2.1 ROM to your X8.
You can try using flashtool. First reflash your kernel. Then try to flash the rom again using flashtool.

First of all...I just decided to make this guide for people that seem to run into the same issues as I did but I feel like its more of a pain to keep adding threads & waiting for a response...or searching thru different posts to get a different outcome you were looking for. So here is where I start.
Flashtool 4 noobs:
1. When you first install flashtool before you run the program go into the driver folder run install drivers... (Make sure that your antivirus isn't running & your phone is connected to usb.)
***only connect phone to usb while installing drivers then remove phone***
2. Flashing ftf files- Because there are so many ftf files out there make sure if you get one its the correct ftf zip otherwise you will get a SIN HEAD ERROR...
*{This error}*
"ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="SIN_HEAD_VER";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to verify sin header";\00"
(if you get this error while flashing ftf its because the ftf file isn't made for your model).
To flash ftf put the file in the firmware folder of flashtool before running it. Start flashtool...hit lightning button... Select flash mode... Choose the correct drivers(also select flash drivers from bottom of box) then choose the ftf file you want to flash...it will prompt you to connect it in flash mode(green led) hold the back button while phone is off...then connect to usb... It will begin flashing the ftf file..done
***ONLY FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS***
3. Flashing kernels- In order to flash the kernel of your choice put the kernel.img in x10flasher folder. (make sure drivers are installed if you haven't installed them already). Then start flashtool... Hit lightning button... Choose fastboot mode... Select correct drivers & fastboot driver at the bottom of box. Menu should pop up. Select kernel to flash... Connect phone to usb in fastboot(blue led) turn off phone...hold search button & connect to usb...it will start flashing...done
***once you've flashed the kernel of your choice remove it from usb... Reboot phone... At boot logo hit the corresponding button to go into recovery... Back or Vol down depending on the kernel... If you don't hit it continuously it will go to black screen because it doesn't have anything to boot***
This concludes my guide... If you find this guide helpful please hit the thanks button... Or if you have any suggestions to make this guide better I'm open to feedback.

What you want to do is flash a custom kernel in fastboot... Since you're x is an a get a gsm rom.

Have you tried the telcel ftf from this link...its 2.3.3 but it should work.
Sent from my R800x
Did you try holding back to go into flash mode?
I typed this by hand.
Hey there I've flashed a few rooms via cwm but never used flashtool but I decided I wanted to as I wanted the. 58 enhanced firmware but when I try and install the drivers for my phone it says it has installed them but its not in the drivers folder and when I try flash the ft it says drivers not installed
And I made sure I installed the correct ones :/
Xperia-Play
NXT 1.3 LE
YNWA!
Did you check in device manager to see if they need to be updated?... & also did you make sure to check flash & fastboot drivers at the bottom of the drivers selection menu...

thanks to share that INFO! ... i have this doubt at almost one month because russians already do that and inside stock rom the system apps have GIONEE.***.*** on description name...
because you say and show that we now can force the moderators to fuse the BLU Vivo Air and KAZAM Tornado 348 on same MENU.. an include the other names of that same phone and have a lot more developers talking and developing to this phone... :highfive:
Thanks for the wonderful info fellas! Do I need to unroot before flashing with this method? Or if I do factory reset? Does root work for the firmware in the op?
Tia!

i don't use the method yet but what i can tell is Unroot your phone by precaution... than use SP flash tool (before the tool flash the new SW/ROM he format everything i think... to not happens the incompatibility with old ROM binaries running on new ROM)

yes you can flash your devise without unrooting but when you flashing any of these firmwares select (Download Only) don't select
(Formate + Download) because if you select download only then it should be fine it will only flash firmware and restore your devise to fectory settings or if you select formate + download then it will also clear your imei number. i already did the second one cleared imei but how ever i menage to repair my imei i will make a video soon on how to repair your imei because it is little hard to repair on these devises and btw you can flash miui rom on any of these devises

Yehp... i already read something about that on 4PDA... about Lost IMEI... and NVRAM Problem too... now what you can tell me about that NVRAM Problem.. what is that? on My "Developer Adventures" on Sony/Qualcomm SoC phones i don't remember about something like that... i really lost about some Developer Configurations on this phone like what we can modify on Kernel Source and what we don't can modify... some binaries can't be touch and compatibility with some ROM sources like AOSPA and similar OS to compile from scratch... CyanogenMOD 11/12/12.1 we need some custom drivers to can work with like Bluetooth, Wifi, GPU... and some modded Default configurations/Binaries from someone already make it work on other phone with Same SoC to we can have it working on our phone...
if you need help to create any Guide or Tutorial please contact me ;D i'm noob about MediaTek SoC Developing but i already have some experience with sony/qualcomm phones(Kernel and ROM from source developing)... i'm in contact with Spanish TeamForce to get some modded defaults from their Custom Kernel like undervolting table... :highfive:
