had the same issue of not being able to connect my phone to pc to repair with seus. thanks loads the "press both midle and right button at the same time and press the power button" trick!!!
I tried your solution but seus just tell me my mini it's up-to-date and there's no more the button for installing anyway android.
The phone just reboots over and over
I seem to have a slightly different problem. I tried the process and right after it said that the phone is connected, the green light on the phone goes out and it looses connection to the phone and prompts me to reconnect. My phone is stuck on the sony ericsson logo, will not shut off and will not boot, can not be detected by the computer. I think I have little more than a very expensive hockey puck.

I have the same problem SEUS says my phone is "up-to-date" what can we do?
Hey yhis helped me too thanks !
something similiar too...
Hi,
Here is my problem.
I have Xperia x10 mini/ yesterday , but mistake, I installed the firmware of the X10 mini PRO !!!
Now, once I understood the mistake, I want to flash with x10 mini firmware.
In order to flash I need to have FLASHTOOLS and need to press the BACK button - the problem is that since the phone is using now the wrong firmware, the BACK button (needed for the flushing ) doesn’t do anything and thus, I cannot install the correct firmware. I tried pushing all other buttons without any luck.
Any idea how I can overcome this problem ? I can’t use my phone now.

The flashmode is initialized before any firmware is loaded, so that isn't your problem
It should always work when your phone is turned off, you press the back-button and attach it to your usb-cable, it should enter flashmode.
If you can't turn it off, connect your phone to your pc, press home and power together till the screen goes black, and then press the back-button.
Well,
I managed to turn the phone off ( using the home+power button), then release the two of them, pressing the BACK button and connecting the USB cable .
nothing hapenns till i release the BACK button and then the phone starts to load with the previous problem.
before installing the the wrong firmware, using the BACK button was OK.
any idea?
update
I managed to hold together the HOME+BACK button and then pushed the POWER button and flashed the E10i 2.1.1 A.0.6 firmware!!!!
while doing it, i noticed for a meesage that the phone is not rooted.
upon finishing the flashing, the phone doesnt boot up, i managed to see the green light and thats all.
i also downloaded the S1 tool in order to root the phone but it says that it can not detect the phone....
what should i do now?

update #2
phone doesnt boot up.
when i connect the flashtool i get the message "Device connected in flash mode".
how to continue from that point ?
Hi,
I need advice as to how to get my phone out of flash mode. I will describe the problem in detail, I couldn't find a similar case in the forum.
Before the problem: I flashed stock gingerbread Rom using flashtool (.62), and it offered me to update via OTA to .84. I allowed it to install the update, but the process didn't go well, and after the reboot and the updating icon, everything went black.
I couldn't turn on the phone, so I flashed again the .62 software. Since it gave me no results, I used PCC phone repair. Even after that, when I try to turn on the phone by pressing the power button, only the green led flashes on and off and on and off.
When connecting to the PC, and having Flashtool running in the background, it automatically connects in flash mode. But the strange thing is, it disconnects and reconnects after a while.
I tried entering fastboot mode by pressing the volume up and connecting the phone that way, but it did not help.
I also tried pressing volume up and power button at the same time (read somewhere that it is the combination for hard reset), but the only change is that no green LED flashes, but the phone vibrates once.
I really don't know what to do now, and would appreciate every advice. Please help me get this phone working again!
Thank you in advance.
I'm so sorry everyone, this might be a repost, I have a lead now.

Hello people
I have a problem and do not know what to do help me
My ultra z is in 4.2.2, not yet updated to not lose the root, then to not have to do again.
But come on, the problem is ...
Out of nowhere the phone off and just do not care anymore!
He dies, does not care nothing happens.
It connects just me pushing the buttons POWER + VOL UP
Then yes it connects, has anyone had this problem?
Will be android? Or some physical defect?
Note: He already dropped to the floor once, but nothing happened externally.
Please help me, I do not know what to do ...
Is it bug in android, if I go to kat kit will this stop?
Help me, thanks
English is not the best but I'll try and work around that the best I can...
So the phone just powered off by it's self?
Just pressing the power button for 3 seconds wont turn it on?
If you connect it to a PC in this state does the device show up at all, and what does it show up as?
- I think it may just be an the "Sleep of Death"
When you hold the power and Vol + keys it will vibrate 3 times and then boot normally? Does it fully boot?
If it is the SoD bug that you have updating the firmware will fix it, What is the firmware version at now ie 14.1.B.1.???
I am Brazilian, I am trying to communicate by the translator, sorry
The build is 510. (Android 4.2.2 / Z Ultra C6833)
If I try to connect it with power nothing happens.
This error happened to me 3x already.
I bind the socket to the charger.
When I boot with power + vol up vol it vibrates 3x and does not start,
but at least one image of the phone is charging, after that I usually call with the power button appears.
On the first day this happened, I tried to turn it power + vol up and found out there when it happens again at least I know to solve, but it's boring to do that every time and also get worried.
anything if you do not understand right, just copy and paste the text into a translator I think it will do better for you, thank you friend.

I think that you have the Sleep of Death bug that was in firmware older than build 532.
To fix this just flash a newer firmware with flashtool. If you are going to root it use 14.1.B.1.532 as it is the last that is rootable via an exploit, if you aren't going to root it just use the Sony PC Companion software to upgrade the phone to the newest firmware.
I update for kit kat (build 681) right?
I think it already came out a way to make root it ...
this bug is common in all z ultra 4.2? why my friend has one just like it and never gave it to him;/

As I know, there is no way to power on a phone with a defect power button. I think, the best sollution is to inform yourself, how much a repair is costing.

It is impossible, the button is stuck to the main board, I mean the only repair is to replace the card, better to buy a new phone.
For there I saw:
This has a very easy solution ... q first have to download the FlashTool version ultim ... then a q see've installed and executed proceed to connect your mobile via USB cable to the computer by pressing and holding the Volume Down immediately you walk ... looking in the toolbar ... advanced tab and go to the last option says q reboot which reboots the phone from the computer ... you must choose the option to reboot recovery + default version and force the phone to reboot and turn this will return the phone to its factory state
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but i not have the option "reboot recovery + default version" in my flashtool
You can enter fastboot using volume up then "fastboot reboot" on cmd/terminal or any tool using that is using fastboot. Other option, you have spare time look for kernel without offline charging support.
Both is applicable for unlocked bootloader. Else, try the flashtool mentioned in above post.
I had the same problem and found a solution.
this works on a wt19a Live With Walkman.
1)plug charger
2)wait until the battery charging screen appears and remove just the battery
3)wait a few seconds(it can take some time) until the screen turns on again and put the battery back in.
if this doesn't work, wait a few seconds after you remove the battery (10 secs or so) and put it back in BEFORE the screen turns on again.
and if that doesn't work, do the same steps but holding the volume up button when plugging the charger, and when putting the battery back in until the sony ericsson colourful booting up logo appears. It will boot up the phone with the date wrong but you just have to change it.
I found this method after hours and hours and hours of research, founding nothing useful and reading that there was no way to do this and blah blah. This works perfectly for my phone and will work for yours too, just do it several times if it doesn't work at first because sometimes there can be an error of synchronization and won't work . I hope this helps somebody.
Dear Sir/Mdm,
This is Linn Myanmar and I am from Myanmar, Stayed in Singapore, working as an engineer.
I just bought my phone (Elephone S8) one week before and I tired rooting with tutorials from XDA forum (using flash tool, driver).

After that the phone has rebooting with logo and never show any result and the phone just happened the screen on and off repeatedly until now.
So that please help me how to solve this and get back to its normal operation. I've tried long pressing on power button, long pressing on power button+volume up button, long pressing on power button+volume up button+volume down button quite many time, but those doesn't work and the phone hasn't come back it's normal operation.
Help me please.
With Best Regards,
Linn Myanmar

Hi Linn
How did you solve your problem?
Hi have exactly the same problem at this moment and, as you, I tried everything (except the hammer but it was close...)
Really need a solution for this!
I like the phone but this way I have to buy another one and other brand for sure...
Thanks (from Portugal)
I suppose you both solved this, one war or other, but maybe someone else looks for a solution to this.
As the S8 is a MTK-phone, it's never really "dead" until it's defective. You can always revive it. So stay cool.
All you need is a Windows-PC with working VCOM-drivers, the SP-Flash-Tool and a ROM. You can get all that on www.elephone.hk/downloads (at least until today... if it's no longer there, you need to google for all that).
The problem is to shut the phone off.
Of course you can just let it boot-loop until the battery is empty, if you can take the time.
Otherwise there's no simple and foolproof way to shut it off if it's in loop.
Try everything you can imagine with the three buttons. Especially pressing the power-button for "ages". Try pressing any volume-button simultaneously, too. I had my S8 bricked to bootloop several times yesterday and today, while fiddling around with all ROMs I could find.
Sooner or later I got the phone to shut off. I somehow got it into the testing-menu, too, which is yellow and chinese and which won't help you.
I even somehow managed to boot into recovery several times, which offers "shutdown"-option. I have the impression that the S8 enters recovery eventually when it fails to boot often enough, but that's just a guess.
Anyway, once the phone is off, you have won.
Start the SP-Flash-Tool, load the scatter-file from your desired ROM (which is probably 20171018), unplug the phone, press "download", and then plug the phone to USB. You might have to press vol+ oder vol- while plugging it in, but if it's recognized, the SP Flash Tool will start flashing the ROM and your phone is up and running again.
Problem solved
I think this is too complex anyway.
The battery was empty after some days.
It was too bad lose so many information but I had to live with that.
So, finally the hammer solve the problem in less then a second...
Thank you very much. Is nice to know there are people helping to solve some problems.

Please also find all required files for rooting the Elephone S8 at:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/k1ldc..._root.rar/file
I hope this helps.
To turn phone off, hold all 3 buttons for about 15 seconds the phone will look like it's powering down but then restart after about 2 seconds just KEEP holding all 3 buttons and it will power off properly. In other words hold all 3 buttons for about 45 secs to power down if in a boot loop. Once powered down hold volume down whilst plugging into USB to flash.
