regrats,
(sorry for my bad english)

Why did you even try? You read the warnings. Try to plug the charger and wait a few minutes and cross your fingers.
If that doesn't work, i hope your warranty is still in effect because you need to send it to sony.
No warranty anymore? Hopefully you're good with electronics. Find a guide here on xda and try to unbrick it with ressurection cables.
That's it. I hope you have warranty though.

Just send it to Sony. If they ask you what have you done, just say that you were updating the software with PC Companion and when it finished, you couldn't turn it on.

FYI there is fix for hard brick using setool which is completly free. But setool requires setoolbox to run on pc but some good guys( actually only one I know- alejandrissimo) do it for free.i wish I could help but I don't have that box it costs some $.

Unlock bootloder w8 11-29+

If handset is in warranty, can i take the risk of unlocking bootloder?
Is sony Ericsson service center repaired it for me under warranty agreements ?
Hope for postive.......
Officially corp via W8

Well, if you hardbrick your phone, there will be no way how o determine what have you done to it. You can try it, if it gets bricked, go to Sony service centre and tell them that you were updating your phone with PC Companion and after update you couldn't turn it on. They will change your motherboard and if you're lucky, you will get one made before 11w29 (but most probably you'l get 11w29+).
Do it at your own risk. I'm not responsible if you try it, hardbrick your phone and Sony won't accept your warranty.
AFAIK some people have already tried this and Sony changed their motherboards.

if you try you will get hard brick,but if you still insist,then try......
when you go to the shop to ask to repair your phone dont tell them what you did,just play dumb....

Warranty will void if i unlock the bootloder,but at the process of unlocking bootloder if i not succeeded is it deemed to be unlock bootloder and gone from warranty??
How sony Ericsson service centers found that i tried for unlocking it's bootloder?
Pls give your valuable options
Officially corp via W8

yeah..cz it was write on your warranty paper
that SE didn't repair phone cz software update or something else that made from your self..
just like noob and tell them if your phone couldn't turn on (if failed on unlocking)
hope u can unlock it!

I have already update my w8 two times from service center on softbrick. Is this matter or not for sony Ericsson as my handset records?

how to unbrick a hardbrick(possible to do it onself)

Fren hardbricked his x8 when unlocking bootloader. Did not see that his device is w38 and above so unlocking bootloader is out of the ques. Now he want to unbrick but can't access flash mode or go into recovery or even press on anything? I read on9 regarding something about medusa. Possible to recover it ? I don't think there is any since he can't even connect his phone to pc via usb cable? If there is pls enlighten me. Thanks

It's possible via J-tag box, Bro. But i don't know how to use it. Just Google
I will respect to you, if you can respect to the other rest.

one thing i don't understand is how to use it when I can't even connect my usb cable.. Not detecting the device on the pc so how do I even use it
edit : nvm figured it out... seems like I'll have to buy a riff box which will cost me some serious cash.. Might as well as my fren buy a whole new x8

Don't tell them you hard bricked it. Just say you tried to turn it on in the morning and it wouldn't turn on or something like that.
They can't prove you unlocked the bootloader as the phone is dead so they'll repair it.

A question about bootloader unlocking

I recently tried to unblock my bootloader, but my motherboard or whatever it is was after 11W28 (11W48 I think) and I bricked my phone. Now when I sent it to get it fixed, they changed it to 10W46. Can I unblock my bootloader without being afraid of a hard brick? If the process is done correctly of course.

They gave you an older one, so you can. I hate when they 'repair' a phone by giving another one back to the user, but in most cases they will give you an older one (like now) that can be unlocked (almost) safely

But, if he have sim lock certificated and a older motherbord, he have 100% of chances of success unclock process or even have a chance of hard brick? Its my doubts, sorry, but in flashing kernel process have chances of hard brick too?

You have soft bricked your phone just recover your phone using SEUS or PC companion. You dont need to unlock your bootloader to install a new custom Rom. There is some Roms you could install with a stock kernel.
Use the flashtool. I don't have the link to it but you should find it easily.
Read Read Read before trying anything. There is loads of tutorials.
