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.

It isn't worth manual repairing,you will need some expensive tools,you better buy a new phone,or if you are under warranty you will not have any problem.
If you are expert at electronics you can surely fix it,and you may have some of the tools already,if you are not,follow the above

[Q] Hard brick X8 (wrong kernel, broken during flashing)

I have flashed wrong kernel (X10_V1_BLRelock) on my sony ericsson X8.
No signs of life after that one.
I have been reading posts on forum but still havent found some solution.
I will try and find some service shop to repair it but till that time if anybody has any suggestions i would be thankful.
1.if your X8 still under warranty and you can make some noise with it!
don't go else where! go to the mobile shop that you bought your X8 and make some drama
that your X8 suddenly went off and don't know the reason why it happen.
go with the warranty card, after that they will send the X8 to Sony and sometimes take a month get
back your phone.
2.if your X8 warranty expired just go to the mobile shop where you buy it and give it to them
and make them fix it. it cost you and in some case you maybe need to reveal what you do the X8
in my experience i did the first one and it works like charm.
Note:whatever reason you can put and it need to be strong one.
sorry for my bad english.

You may have to use JTAG to repair your phone or just send it to SONY. There is no possible way of reviving it other than that. In the time being just use some other phone lying around your house.
2 threads are here by mistake. i send msg to moderator and he said he deleted the old one but somehow it is still there...
Phone is not under a warranty so I will have to look for a shop. I'm still searching all possible options but exams in the next days will prevent me from serious research that's why i posted a question...
Well you have 2 or 3 options
1.Send it to Sony and pay them to repair it
2.Use aze2learn method...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27942435&postcount=205
3.Buy or find someone with Riffbox/Jtagbox
Can you get into fastboot mode? If not, you must take it to repair.
i'm taking it to repair, there is no other option... but it is dead for some time now :/
the thing u flashed is for x10 dude, its ur reponsibility that u killed ur phone

You are in the wrong forum. This forum is for the xperia x8.
Ask your question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/help
You are just soft-bricked...find the stock rom and flash it via Flashtool...!!!
