Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Semc Flash Driver
Hello all, The other day I rooted my XPeria X8, Android 2.1. I removed some stock apps (games, Wisepilot), and also added a 400Mb EXT2 partition on the SD card and installed Link2SD, so I could install apps on the SD card. Everything was fine, expect for some occasional reboots. Until yesterday. I don't know exactly what caused this, but when I rebooted the phone, it wouldn't reboot properly. I had recently installed WidgetLocker, and just before I rebooted it I had enabled the key guard via Tasker. First, it booted, started loading apps (GO Launcher, etc), but then it would reboot.
Then it booted again, but I was able to quickly switch to an app manager and see what processes were running, and kill them. But it booted again. I rebooted it without the SD card or the SIM, and it booted OK. I imagined it was some app that on the SD card that was causing the problem, and that removing the SD card would avoid loading the app. Third time it booted, status bar appeared, but black screen. Then a series of Force Close messages for Sony Ericsson apps: com. Aplikasi Memperkuat Sinyal Wifi Di Laptop. sonyericsson.messaging, etc. Generator Protection Relay Manual here. And after that, the phone is stuck in a boot loop: 'Sony Ericsson', followed by animation and 'Sony Ericsson' Logo, followed by reboot.

I tried to restore it to factory settings by holding left and right keys while powering it up, but nothing happens. I guess something is damaged more deeply. So I searched the forums on the subject, and found that I can probably recover the phone via xRecovery, Flashtool or SEUS/PCC. Well, xRecovery: I understand that I would have to have installed on the phone, but I don't, and at this stage I can't install it. Flashtool seems to be a good idea, and I could even flash a newer ROM. SEUS: no longer available at the SE site for the X8. PCC: last alternative.
Another problem: I don't have a backup of the ROM, but I'm downloading a 'generic' one from. I connect the phone to the PC and press the back button, and Windows detects it. But then it asks for the SEMC USB Flash drivers. Which I can't find anywhere to download.
Not even at the SE developer's site. Anyway, I need some help: a) Find SEMC USB Flash drivers b) I suppose the best way now is to use Flashtool and install a custom ROM. Can I install directly a custom one such as or do I have to go through a normal 2.1 first? Any guidance on this?
