just stay away from boot loader..
it can brick your phone..except u know what r u doing
I just bricked my phone 5times..
2soft brick (when new on this stuff)
success once with unlocking boot loader
then phone no network problem (after few days unlocking boot loader)
then I' not sure what they done (security hole or whatever)
I can't unlocking boot loader anymore
I tired and bricked
waiting for repairing
and tried again and it died again
totally bricked man...can't get into flash mode anymore
and after 3times failed to unlocking so I wanna stay away from this stuff
but this my advice...
do it if your phone still under warranty
Becomes somewhat unstable because the mobile
My phone just got hardbricked,even I dont unlock my bootloader... Then I use PCC to restore my phone... And it work now... But if you suggest not to unlock bootloader, I will stay away from those thing. :-D

If you can restore the phone through PCC or Flashtool it is NOT a hard brick!
You may want to look around and read stuff to get behind the meaning of what "hard brick" really means.

I read that hardbrick is you cant go to xrecovery by tapping back arrow.
My phone was xxxx bricked when I tried to flash this xgin rom via CWM. First its intalled, then boot (i tought its a normal boot) but my phone got white screen after booting. No hard buttons work. That I can do is remove the battery. And reinsert. And press power button on. I try to go to xrecovery by tapping back arrow, its not work!!! Still booting, and got that damn white screen.
So what brick I was?
Xxx brick?

Is xxx brick a porn brick? xD
A hard brick means that you can only revive it using a special cable that makes contact on some pads under the white sticker (and special software)..
A hard brick means you need to send the phone for repair.
Ps: in my opinion there is just one type of brick, it's called "bricked", plain and simple. If you managed to recover you phone it means it was never bricked in the first place. A bricked phone cannot be recovered without making a direct connection with the ROM chip.

a) Check the manufacturing date (sticker below the battery) and then search this Q&A board to make sure your phone isn't too new - you'll find several threads with a warning about phones out of 11W29 and onwards being candidates for a hard brick due to hardware changes. You can NOT revive the phone yourself - you need to send it in for repair and they will most likely change the motherboard! You've been warned to think at least twice!
b) There are several people who unlocked the boot loader while having GingerDX installed through the manual method. Safest way, or course, is to flash back to Stock and unlock from there.

Unlockin bootloader with date above 11W29???
Hey guys I tried unlocking the bootloader on my x8 the manufacturing date was 11W39 so as you can guess I got THE Hardest Brick. Then i took the phone to my mobile operator, told them that it was switched off when i plugged it for charging and that when it said battery full it would not start. And it worked!!! They replaced my motherboard for free I guess the warranty was still valid apparently xD. So, I came home installed GingerDX right away but i really want to port ICS 3.0 on my x8 and i would really appreciate if someone had any ideas how to unlock the bootloader on a motherboard 12W and something above. I've read that a couple of guys managed to do it, so anyone pls help before i go and cash out 400 euros on the HTC One X.
Thanks.

Well, if with 11w39 you got hard brick, you will also hard brick your phone again because the motherboard is even newer. It's better to not try it. You have very very few chances to unlock bootloader with 12w and above!

Successfully UNLOCKED Xperia X8 11W35 just hour ago!
I was scared with all disccussions here but I wanted to try, however it could finish.
I had followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
I am not encourageing anyone to do so, but it is good to know that 11W29 is not the limit, maybe it is 11W35?
Or maybe it has something with guidance? For me, guides by SpiderX were succsessfull.
I got hard brick my xperia x8. how can I fix it ?
As far as I know,...you can't
@ others: or is it fixable?!!!
Is it important how did i send this?
I bricked my x8 a month ago and I took it the SE and they repaired..........Take it to a SE....
If you have you're x8 in warranty period take it to s.e and tell them you were trying to update through pcc and something went wrong..
If you're done with the warranty period then they will charge you for it..

okay!
This is for the last option! if didn't work to repair it using PC companion or SEUS
1. download X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf from file crop and you willl get your phone on 2.1
2. its better if you backup your data when in 2.1 you so can restore it OR backup from xrecovery
3. make sure if your baseband is 015
4. root your phone by clicking padlock icon in the Flashtool!
5. install xrecovery with flashtool by clicking the cross icon
6. unlock bootloader using s1tool and phone type is not 11w29+ () !!!
7. flash the latest kernel
8. backup
9. factory reset, wipe data, etc
10. Flash ROM
DOne!
i think you can not repair the hardbrick by yourself unless you are a expert phone repair specialist, and you hace a medusa/riff box your best bet is to take it to a sony shop if you have warranty or take it to a repair shop and cash out some bucks... if the repairshop can do it tell them to unlock your bootloader in the proces...
Yup. No going back from hard brick. Unless you're good at electronics or get your phone repaired at a sony service center.

Ok,a lot of u dont know diference betwen HARD and SOFT brick.SOFT brick is related to software and it could be fixed by SEUS or PCC (stuck on sony logo).
HARD brick is hardware releted issue and it happens when u mess up with bootloader(dead phone,no led light,no vibration,usable only as paper holder).HARD brick cant be fixed by SEUS or PCC!!!

hello all,
today i tried to unlock bootloader of my W8 (X8) 11W44
i used this thread to get help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1549696
s1tool said SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE so i tried to go on and use mssm7227_semc.cmd....all worked fine.
then my phone booted successfully into my rom (i was using GingerElite)
i rebooted it again to use s1tool and test it
but after that my phone was lifeless, no LED, no vibration,no recovery, no flash mode working(so i cannot use flashtool at all) and no SE Logo! :crying:
some1 pls help me to resurrect my phone please. pls don't give links of threads as i tried and research a lot already...
so what should i do now? i need help...
----------------
NOW: its back from repair now..and the bl changed to 11W33....but idk if its unlocked
you should be more careful(you can read everywhere"dont try to unlock your booloader if it is 11w29+")
the only thing you can do is:if your warranty isnt expired to sent the phone to se for repair,or buy another phone....

Hi all!
I did a big mistake some days ago.... I was updating my X8 from GingerDX 28 to 29 and some problem occured that my X8 didn't boot anymore, so I tried to flash with SEUS and PC Companion to get back the original ROM... But they doesn't work either. So I tried to start again, but this time I did some stupid, I used the X10 ftf from Flashtool to flash my X8!!! After that, it doesn't turn on, dont even light the LED when charging or connected using USB to PC. If a press turn on button in the top, it doesn't do anything and doesn't vibrate... Connecting using USB, windows doesn't identify that my X8 is there...
What can a do? Did I kill my X8?!?!?
Sorry my english...

I think you hard bricked your x8, because no response to on button is sign of hard bricking.

Make FTF Dump From X8
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a dump from a X8 that is currently in use, with the phones complete data (apps + info + settings )
in effect, a nandroid for use with Flashtool ?
I am thinking of using this method in replacement of nandroids because of the recovery being stored in the system partition and I have had problems with them before - usually MD5 mismatch errors.
you have hard bricked your phone !

I am looking at flashtool as a replacement to nandroid backup??
You can make flashtool .sin/.ftf files from nandroid backups. But these flashtool packages will work only with unlocked bootloader/patched loader, because you can make the .sin headers but can't reproduce the security signatures, so with locked bootloader better if you forget it...

I tried unlock bootloader before, using the main guide on here, but it kept bricking ?
The build is lower than the number advised to not use so I don't know what happened. I just had to keep trying, then recovering with SEUS.
Any help mate would be amazing as I am sick of being stuck on Stock 2.1-update1 and stock kernel, it limits the phones abilities so much!! argh!
