Hi, I hope someone can help
My X8 is 2 months old and has the latest Sony software installed. I installed xrecovery and messed with a few roms but decided that the standard software was good enough for me.
A couple of days ago, I took my phone out my pocket and it was totally dead. I replaced the battery (thinking android had crashed) and still no luck.
Once I got home I tried the charger and connecting to a PC, but still no charge light and phone seemed dead. I left it on charge for a day and no luck.
Contacted Sony and they said try the emergency update software, which of course did nothing.
I have had a few android phones and never seen this happen. I have tried removing the memory card and sim and no difference.
Is there some key combination (pushing the back key I know that one) that would help?
Has anyone else had this happen to them?
I've already had the same situation. The second day after I bought my x8, my phone was dead (don't know why). So I decided to go to the shop and I asked to replace my x8 by a NEW x8. And I'm now with my new X8 and since that day I use my x8 without problem So I advice you to go to the phone shop and get a new X8

This happened to my friend with his x10 mini.he just left it and tried to turn it on after two days and it worked.
Have you tried to use the repair from SE PC Companion, and when asked to, plugin your phone and keep pressed the back key until the green light comes up?
It's the only recovery method that I'm seeing
Thanks i have already sent it away to Sony. Hopefully ill get a new phone unlocked. When I get a reply from the service center, ill post what happened to it.
Thanks to all that replied

I tried updating my phone and it got stuck on step 9 which was the reboot process. and the screen was just white with the HTC logo.
It was stuck on this step for a good 3 hours so i assumed something was wrong. I cancelled the update and unplugged the phone from the computer and it was stuck on the HTC screen still so i took out the battery.
And when i put the battery back in and tried turning it on it wouldn't turn on. And so now it my phone won't even turn on! I'm very frustrated. I thought at first it was dead but when i plugged it in the charger the charging light won't even come on. Tried Wall Charger and Computer
Please someone help! I need a solution
(Problem Solved by Flashing the Set with RIFF Box)
Try to put into bootloader and flash a rom from an ruu. You'll start from scratch but if it works it works.

Thanks for the Reply Man, But i try to put the Phone in Boot loader by Pressing the Volume Down Key and Power Key But no respond from the Phone...
Please advise if i am doing it Correct.
Its not showing any sign on Power at all even when i plug it to the PC or wall socket charger.
Pretty sure that's how to put in bootloader. Try to take battery out out for like 2-3 minutes, put back in then try bootloader. Doesn't make sense since the Zune updates basically overwrites files to update, not like previous windows mobile updates that wipes the the phone then replaces everything. Keep trying. Is there a possibility the battery is dead?

Whenever you update a phone and something goes wrong, it is always advised to make sure you DON'T remove the battery, especially while updating, if you hadn't removed the battery you could've ran the Windows Phone support tool. You have Bricked your mobile.
If there is no life not even charging you have bricked it.. Sorry to tell you this
You ain't the first person to brick your mobile and sadly you won't be the last
Quick Question: How were you updating your phone? via Zune client where it specifically says Do not remove the cable or battery.. Or via rom update manager for manually updating roms where it says the same thing? Hate to sound horrible but people should really pay attention to what it clearly states during updating..
Additional Info: Just thought id add and ask what you were updating, basically if you were updating either the bootloader or the radio (if these were in the update as well) you've bricked it, and with there being no life at all it tells me its dead and the cpu refuses to boot, the only way to bring it back from the dead is to JTAG it which I don't believe has been done for the HD7 yet and is a massive pain to do, Best thing you can do is send it in for repair and hope that they repair it, normally they don't
I was updating it through Zune, And it was stuck at step 9 and it was stuck like 4 hours.
Well it is is Bricked then i guess this is my Last windows Phone
I was happy with my iphone 4 but i don't know what strikes at my head that i decide to sell it and buy this stupid HD7 ( May be i am Stupid not the Phone)...
I will hit the Repair Market to get it fix through JTAG ( I search on Google and find that it's Possible for HD7) and update the thread later.
Wish me Good Luck

I know iPhone 4's are perfect, I think Apple has 0% percent returns. Oh don't forget the bumper, they are so in season... and they help to prevent drop calls.
My guess is there is a reason for the 4 hour update, possibly the phone got disconnected breifly during the update... that happens and the phone will just sit there and never finish. I have a few micro USB cords and they seem to be a bit prone to faluire after months of use. My nephew, who is 19... and well as careless as a 19 year old was holding the phone in his hand did just that, almost bricked his. Fortunately for my nephew the 7720 update program had already copied everything to the phone and it was during the reboot so it updated anyway.
Well the Update is...

Dear, I am afraid that i can't help you a lot on this as i just ask the repair shop and they said that they can fix it with the help of some hardware called RIFF Box and they did in few hours. Just to be noted that they have to disassemble your phone to so that.
regarding IMEI problem i have no idea too. Best of Luck and i can understand your feelings.

Dear all,
to be honest my phone is dead again when i try to do some ****ty update .....
i am trying to find someone to do this again. i will update accordingly soon.
I have the same problem
Hi, I have the same problem and my phone's been dead for 3 months now
I went to a repair shop in Cairo, and they did the JTag thing, but he was unable to download or install the right ROM... Everytime he tries installing a different ROM it fails and he has to start all over again.
Do you know where I can find/download the ROM that works with my T-Mobile HD7 after we do the JTag?
Still no Update....
Hey where you find a RIff box in Pakistan , I've half bricked my phone
I have been working with android phones for over a year now and have never had this happen ! I went to the software update in the phone and clicked check now button and it said software update available. So I went ahead and downloaded the software and when it was finished downloading went ahead and started the install and left the phone when I came back to it the screen was black and nothing was happening ! By the way I left the phone for at least 2 hours so I tried turning it on and got nothing I put usb to see if it needed to charge and got orange light but still not turning on. Tried to go into fastboot power volume down and got nothing what is going on with this device why won't it turn on ? What can I do to fix this ? please help me !
Thank you in advance for any help I can get !
Maybe the battery is dead, I'd try a noun charged battery and see if it works then.

No it is not the battery as it will light the back lights when I plug in the usb cord and it also shows the orange charging light until it is fully charged I have now tried the unbricking process but the computer can not see the phone I have to fix this thing soon or else I will have to buy a brick for more than it is worth !
Please if there is anyone who can help me solve this I would be very grateful !

Yes I have tried the unbricking and it can not find bricked device ! This is driving me crazy ! I don't need a brick I have a wood house and fireplace needs no repair I would like phone back !
just one thing I didn't ask , you did pull the battery and tried to hboot ? I know that may be a dumb question but its worth a shot .

I do believe that to get into H-boot with this device you have to remove the battery ! So to answer your question yes I did pull the battery then tried to get into H-boot. And I think that I have also stated that I have been working with android phones for over a year but I think it has been more like two and have rooted and sim unlocked many androids so for this to happen to me at this point is just not acceptable I have a clean record as far as bricks go and would like to keep it like that I have even unbricked phones for people that have bricked them ! Thanks to xda and others for all the help along the way ! I hope someone here can help me solve this !
I did read the first post but it was a few days ago so I have forgotten some , I'm just trying to come up with anything I can to help so I guess I am at a loss and can't help in this situation but I'm sure some one can and hopefully they will .
Good luck hope you get it fixed .

Well...im assuming you were stock since you were doing a software update...
So why don't you just send it to HTC? They have a year warrenty on every device that should cover this since it is a software update malfunction...even if it was rooted with custom Roma and a different hboot, they likely wouldn't even know since you can't even get to hboot

This might be an option but I don't know if bootloader was unlocked and don't know if they can tell if it was or not ? And this is not my phone just doing this for a friend and still haven't told her that her phone is a brick ! Sending it to htc would take weeks if not months and she was thinking I would have already returned the phone to her two days ago ! Pulling my hair out and banging my head against the wall needing fix for this !

They won't be able to tell since you can't get in hboot...and it wouldn't take long at all...all they would do is send you a replacement after they receive yours...tjeyre not gonna thoroughly.examin it...they don't have the time...they go through hundreds if not thousands of replacements everyday

Well I have contacted HTC and this was there response
"Dear My Name,
I am sorry to hear your device is no longer powering on after an update. I will be glad to assist you with this.
Can you press and hold the power button for about a minute to see if the device will power on? If this does not work, try removing the battery and then place the battery back in the device and try to power it on.
If this does not resolve the issue, My Name, we will need to perform a factory reset. Please note that this procedure will delete all personal data, customizations, and files from your Vivid, so be any information on the device that is not already backed up will be permanently deleted. If you have an SD card in the device, please remove it prior to factory resetting.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the Volume Down button, and then briefly press the Power button.
2. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the Volume Down button.
3. Press Volume Down to select Clear Storage or Factory Reset, and then press the Power button.
.
Once the factory reset it complete, the device should power on and then will prompt you to set the device up with your email accounts, etc. If this does not resolve the issue you will need to speak with your carrier for more information on having your device repaired. They will be able to answer any questions you have about the warranty and repair process.
If I have successfully answered your questions, I would like to invite you to participate in our customer satisfaction survey about your experience with HTC Technical Support. Corey, you will need to close your ticket with us and you should receive a pop-up asking if you would like to take the survey. To do this, please follow the link below to reply to this message and select "Close" next to "Action" to close out the ticket and the pop-up should appear asking you to take the survey. I hope you have a great week!
LOL I think htc thinks I'm a noob ! But joking aside looks like I have to contact Bell Canada and see if they are going to replace the device or maybe they will want me to do a factory reset as well lol I will keep you updated ! Thank you all for your suggestions and if there is anyone that can tell me how to fix this thing you would be saving me a whole lot trouble !

Did u perform rooting? unlocking BL? flashing roms ?
either ways....getting your phone is one worst thing....
It is very hard to brick an Xperia device nowadays.
You sure is not just out of juice? Sometimes it can be that the battery suddenly dies and you have to leave it charging a lot of time to turn it back to life.
Locked or unlocked bootloader?
Flashtool should do the job in case of soft brick. Or even EMMA in case you are unlocked.
Does it get detected by the PC?

unlocked bootlocker(unlocked when i got it)
battery was at 100%
rooted but no custom firmware or karnel and i did the root the day i got the phone and the phone died when pluging it into a pc to get some files from the phone the only application(on phone) open was boot up ones and Google chrome.
Not a Issue with the pc as i used an xpreia u and the xperia z worked on the same port.
the phone stopped even getting picked up by the pc only red led.
this is a know issue with the xperia z(from android) ics when i loocked at it, it seamed to be the sleep of death and power reset did not work.
firmware: default .434 uk
phone model: xperia c3603

can you flash only the stock kernel from fast boot mode? i once had the same issue when the device failed to start with red led blink, and flashing the kernel fixed this issue.
You bought the phone with unlocked bootloader? Was it used? Else I think you're confusing unlockable and unlocked.

Any news? My Z died most likely because I messed with terminal emulator (tried to get rid off CWM bootloop the easy way ) and it didn't boot up ever again... Only thing I get out of it is red led when pressing power and vol+ when usb is connected. Computer sees it as a usb device but cannot connect to it. No fastboot or flash mode. I'm going to send it for repairs but it will probably be too expensive to get it done.
I already got htc one to replace Z. One sounds awesome! Incredible speakers for a phone. It is fast and sweet. BUT it looks STUPID when you put Z and One side by side... And no waterproofness of course

So sony sucks globally when it comes to customer care?! Have to try it my self. I've heard that finnish service company is very very good at what they do... Even if your phone has a 50 cal bullet hole smack in the middle they'll blame water/moisture damage. If you manage to convince them to actually look at your device they'll send it to some Euro main service central where it will be sucked in to a wormhole and time around that phone seems to stop
update:
SBE fault : charging - does not charge
Status : With High Level Engineer - Component Repair
update:
sbe have said the phone is unrepairable and are going to exchange it for another one.
Wow this took some time...
Almost two months it took:
1. Sending device to finnish service center
2. It was sent to sony service right away
3. after waiting and waiting I asked finnish service whats going on: Atleast their version was that sony had fixed (or replaced with a new device) and sent it back to finland. And during shipping device was lost.
4. According to finnish service sony was figuring out what to do, propably giving new devices....
5. So after almost two months I got a replacement XZ. And it was done under warranty. Yay!
My Xperia Sp brought on contract from EE was working fine until earlier this week. The phone had 30% charge left when the phone shutdown. When i went to turn it back on, the phone vibrated three times and nothing happened. I tried plugging the phone into the mains and charging but the phone kept vibrating in a series of three vibrations. I tried the common answer to any problem with this phone and held the power off button at the back in and pressed the on button but this didn't work. I have also tried other combos such as the one Sony emailed me which was to hold power up followed by the on button but this did not work. The next day the phone magically turned on and i used this as an opportunity to back up my data off the internal memory and re-flash the stock android 4.3(12.1.A.0.266). The phone lasted a couple of hours but then did the same as before and kept vibrating. I left the phone a bit and when i got it to power on again, i flashed android 4.1.2 (12.0.A.2.245) onto the phone. The phone worked for only an hour before shutting down again and not turning on. I have tried various shops in my town, the first said they think it is software but they couldn't fix it, the second said it is a battery issue but they would have to order in a new battery and I also tried EE who refused to even look at it as my contract didn't come with warranty. Sony have emailed me back asking me to send it off to them, but i have no proof of purchase so that is out of the question. I have also searched Google for hours trying to find a solution but the only on that sounded remotely like my issue was apparently a sleep problem, but this is clearly not the case. I would really appreciate any help anyone can give to me about this issue. Thanks in advance to any help given

Thanks for the quick reply. I have noticed that the button looks a bit damaged but i had no idea this could be the problem. I will see if i can get it repaired.
If you bought it recently just take it back in warranty. Have you ever used that off button? Because my friend had xperia z ultra and he used it ONCE and it broke and sony didnt give him warranty
Sorry for my english, im doing my best

I brought the phone last october after my first sp(red) stopped charging as the usb port got damaged. I have used that button loads of times before using pens, pins and even a ds stylus to use it. The slight cover on that button has gone as a result.

Please is your problem solved how was it done.
Hello !
A few weeks ago my XZ fell down and the display (glass,lcd,touch) was broken so i had to fix it. I decided to fix it by myself, i bought a display and started to do it on my own. Everything went fine. After I finished i wanted to charge my phone and the red (bright) led was on. I knew, that this was the symbol for charging so i was happy and waited a few minutes. But my phone never went on, there was no Sony Logo, no battery logo, nothing, no vibration. I decided to take another look into my phone, and checked if anything wasn't right reconnected, but everything was correctly. With still no success i thought, the battery was dead (because it lay down about 4 weeks with no power) and ordered a new battery. I inserted the battery, but all i got was this damn constant red light. (at the beginning its a bright light and then switches to a darker light).
I read about 5 Million forums and got in contact with flashing my device. First i tried it with the Companion (no success), later with flashtool (no success).
All i have to say is that, i dont even now if my screen is working, i easily come in fastboot/flashmode and i'm definitly at the end of my possibilities. I need someone's help, and if you say my phone is completely damaged, then please say, so i can stop working on this matter and sell it!
Thank you very much, and sorry for the long read.

Hello !
A few weeks ago my XZ fell down and the display (glass,lcd,touch) was broken so i had to fix it. I decided to fix it by myself, i bought a display and started to do it on my own. Everything went fine. After I finished i wanted to charge my phone and the red (bright) led was on. I knew, that this was the symbol for charging so i was happy and waited a few minutes. But my phone never went on, there was no Sony Logo, no battery logo, nothing, no vibration. I decided to take another look into my phone, and checked if anything wasn't right reconnected, but everything was correctly. With still no success i thought, the battery was dead (because it lay down about 4 weeks with no power) and ordered a new battery. I inserted the battery, but all i got was this damn constant red light. (at the beginning its a bright light and then switches to a darker light).

Maybe motherboard got damaged or check the connections
I checked again my inner phone and, okay im new in fixing phones, but it seems to me that nothing got damaged, everything looks fine, the flex bands don't look different as they are shown in the videos. The connections are 100 % connected. But i have to admit: New battery -> not working, check connections -> all are stable , PC companion repair -> nothing. After all i think i destroyed something but i cant figure out what. On Monday i'll go to a repair shop and let them check what's the issue. If somebody has another idea, please let me know, i will try to repair it then.

Hey thanks for answering! As i mentioned in my starting post, my PC detects my phone without any problem. I also used PC Companion to repair my phone. So i dont think it's a software matter. Also Flashtool detects my phone, i could even install a new software.
But i gave my phone today to a repair shop, they'll analyse the problem... for 20€.
I'll tell you what exactly is damaged in a few days if somenone has the same problem like me.
I destroyed the Display Connector. Sold my phone for around 40 euro. -.-
