Bricked phone after flashing Alfs v08 - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
This is the problem: I was running GingerDX v023b and I wanted to unlock my bootloader, so through PC Companion I installed the stock ROM (i is recommended) and unlocked the bootloader...everything worked fine.
Then I flashed the Alfs v08 kernel ("X8_08a-GDX_Alfs&Djnilse.rar") but when I turned my phone on, the Alfs 8 logo appears but then nothing happens...nothing.
I tried to use PC Companion to repair the phone but I can't because it is not detected when I try to connect it in flash mode.
Please guys help me.
Thanks in advance.

pull out the battery. turn on the phone, when it shows the kernel logo press back button repeatedly. you will get into cwm recovery. on pc, download a GB rom. connect the phone to pc through usb cable, in cwm recovery go to mounts and storage > mount usb. copy ROM to your sdcard. unmount usb. install the rom in cwm

Thank's for the help dude.
Everything works until the step "Choose mount USB storage" because in "Computer" folder anything appears.
What can I do?
EDIT:
Dude, it worked. I just had to connect the phone in other USB input and it was detected by the computer.
A BIG BIG BIG thank you. I'm probably being a little dramatic but you saved my life
Thank's dude, everything good for you.
Now I have just 2 little questions.
First: I backed up everythng before unlocking the bootloader, can I restore everything without problem (won't it lock the bootloader again?)?
Second: when a new Alfs kernel update comes out how do I update it?

if you backed up all your data by some third party app, you an restore it. it won't lock your BL

you'll just have to flash new kernel through flashtool and wipe cache in cwm

I'm sorry for the noob question, but what is a third party app?
I backed up through CWM.

third party app = app that didn't came with your phone, app which you have installed by yourself, for example titanium backup
if you backed up with cwm, you can try to restore DATA partition only, but i don't recommend you to do it because it can brick your phone

You should use flash tool cause it's easy.when your phone unclocked or other rom.seus or sc may be make phone brick.

i was planned to flash my kernel to v08a
is that kernel really make phone bricked ??

A kernel can't really brick your phone unless it's for another phone. Try re-downloading and re-flashing.

Make sure that your phone manufacturing date is before 11W29, otherwise you may hard-brick your phone.

[Help] My o2x doenst boot, keep rebooting

Well, my o2x keeps rebooting, and stucking on boot.. i tryied flash v10b with nvflash and v20l with smartflash and its keep rebooting.. the phone doenst boot, i cant get into home screen.. anyone knows what can be? how i can fix it?
Thx
Have you come from a custom ROM before flashing v10b? If you have then you will probably have to use Paul obriens backtoext3 which is just flashed in cwm.
If its not then that's as far as my helpfulness can go...

i was on modaco, then i restore back the original backup with cwm.
after i tryied install v20l, phone doesnt boot, then i tryied v10b and phone doesnt boot..
now i cant install CWM since the android system doesnt up.. any other idea? maybe a backtoext3 without cwm?
You should still be able to get cwm even in a boot loop. Keep holding power and volume down until you get to it and then flash backtoext3.
Was it boot looping after you restored your original. If it was then you might only be able to nv flash an original rom.
If it wasn't then you should be able to get to recovery and flash backtoext3

No. He said he smartflashed 20L, which means CWM has been overwritten with the stock recovery. All this will achieve is a wipe.

Yes, it does. I suggested you install CWM so you can restore a backup or flash a new one.
Both of the flashing procedures (NVFlash, Smartflash) should have restored your phone to a working state no matter what, so either your phone is faulty, or your USB-connection is flaky, lets hope its the last. (I assume you have read how, and most importantly, how not to connect USB when flashing.)
So run back2ext3, install a ROM and see if that works.

Primarily it was a hint to go search and read about how to flash before you flash. But since you ask:
Do not connect to USB via a hub, always connect directly to the computer. When something doesn't work, try a different cable. Do not use an overclocked computer to flash. etc. etc. etc.

Try to flash a rom or restore a backup via CWM. Doing the same thing over and over is not likely to help.
Download one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328656
Put it on your sdcard.
Install CWM via NVFLash. (If not already there.)
Start CWM.
Wipe/Factory reset.

guys, if let's say i installed a custom rom, and without having the kernel which is needed for the rom and i cant get into recovery mod, is there anyway to repair this? and also i didn't unlock the bootloader.. any help?? please? one more thing, the debugging mode is off. so i can't transfer files through flashtool. That happens because the custom rom cannot be booted up and therefore i cant select debugging mode on~

My fellow Malaysian, just which ROM you are trying to install? many custom ROMs doesn't need custom kernel, so you don't have to install and unlock the bootloader!
Since you have installed the custom kernel( assuming it required the custom kernel), use flashtool to install the custom kernel for it to work!
Please remember for custom kernel like aNa, you need to unlock the bootloader, pls check the date of manufacturing first, Otherwise you may break your phone

[Q] Problem with MiniCM7

After installing MiniCM7 and it's custom kernel I can't add most of the widgets I download via market. Out of 20 widgets only 1 shows up in widget list.
Is there any way to fix this or am I the only one who has come across this problem?
You moved the widgets to SD card?

The best way I've found to free up memory taken by installed apps was to created a sd-ext partition. To easily create a sd-ext partition follow these instructions:
NOTE THAT THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON ALL PARTITIONS ON THE SD CARD - BACKUP THE SD CARD BEFORE DOING THIS IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR DATA
1. Reboot into recovery mode
2. Select the "advanced" option
3. Select the "Partition SD Card" option
4. You can now set the "Ext Size" for the sd-ext - I use "2048M" which works fine although if you have loads of free space you can select "4096M"
5. Next you'll see a "Swap Size" - After some research I found a swap drive isn't needed and will not really speed anything up (I am not using a swap drive but you may create one if you like - THIS WILL REDUCE THE LIFE OF YOUR SD CARD!)
6. Click next/OK until it starts the partition process - This will now create the sd-ext partition.
Once done I reccomend to clear all data (under mounts and storage, select format /system, format /data, format /cache). Then Come back out to main option list, select "wipe cache partition" and finally "wipe data/factory reset" as if you wer're flashing a new ROM).
Flash ROM and gapps-xxx - Reboot and enjoy!
Hope this helps!
NOTE:
If you decide to change ROMs in future, make sure you select "format /sd-ext" as part of the "clear all data" process.

You've encountered a brick. Now what you should do this is
Open PCC
DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE YET
Under "Support Zone" , click on Start
Opt for "Phone Update Software" and click "Start"
It will complain that no phone is connected.
There'll be a "Repair Phone" option. Click that.
Just follow the steps in PCC. It will tell you how to connect your phone. Update , and in no time you'll get back to Stock ROM.
Re-root. Flash CWM

[SOLVED] Xperia T Formatting /System

phone: Xperia T
Model: L30p (I think)
Ok so I'm a great newbie when it comes to rooting.
I successfully rooted my phone yesterday, but the GPS and WIFI was stuck on so I decided to unroot it back to its original state.
Not knowing it was a bad thing to do I formatted all of the options on a CWM-based recovery screen.
including the now-known must not do /system
Now, my phone will not start.
I have access to both fastboot and Flash and have tried flashing the default .ftf file for the phone (gotten from this site, so not sure if it is the default one.)
I have tried to connect it to PC Companion but it wont connect, not sure if there's a certain way to connect it to that.
I have put other kernels on to try and fix the problem without luck
Is there anything I can do to fix this or have I well and truly destroyed my phone.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Formatting the system wipes the ROM.
You need to flash a ftf using flashtool or repair your phone using pccompanion.
Look in the all in one thread to find a ftf for your phone and download the flashtool from the first thread in the dev section.
Or if you are using pccompanion, then run pccompanion and click software update. Click repair and when asked to attach the phone then make sure its turned off and keep the volume down button pressed whilst you attach the usb cable. This is the official way from sony

Do you have an external sd card? Take that out and use a card reader to put the files onto it.
If not, flash the boot.img from doomkernel in fastboot, then you should be able to access recovery.
In recovery you can mount the SD card (Mounts and storage) and you should be able to see the SD card then

The rom is rooted as is the kernel.
You should have a superuser app in the app drawer.
I suggest you make a backup now in recovery and leave it on your sdcard in case anything happens again
Always backup just in case you ****up
Glad you are back in the land of the living again.
I will be updating my rom later in the week so keep an eye out for that

[Q] USB not working, just charging. Bricked or damaged by wiping system or data?

Hello guys, you're the only hope to fix this, I'm sure! I'm facing a very annoying issue, (I'm having an old BL) mine USB cable is not working properly (just charges the phone, and nothing more happens, all drivers are up - to-date. Strange bug, happened after few days while being on CM 10.1. I don't know if that is related but while using CM10.1 I used battery calibration app , tried to solve that long charging issue D) after using cm10.1 I have advance-wiped not only cache, dalvik, but also system, data , etc..then moved to 7.2 stable, still got no USB functions, computer just does not see my phone(tried 3 computers using windows 7 32/64 bit,Nvflash is also not seeing the device.) I wonder if someone could help me to fix that mess. Really would like to flash a stock rom, but nothing except charging is working. I forgot to mention that while being on Cm10.1 I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800935 to mount storage, also some google mounting apps with no luck. CWM also does not mount mass storage. What could be wrong? Help will be appreciated ! :good:
If your cable is not working properly, only charge your phone, then there is no way to use nvflash, smartflash or cwm to copy rom to your internal sdcard. What you can do is that you buy a new cable or borrow one from your friends or from someone. If you have external sdcard then use a cardreader to copy rom to your phone.

If it is the cable what is broken just simply change to another cable. If it is the usb port itself on your phone then use sdcard to copy rom to your phone. There is no other option

just download a rom from the developement section. Choose the correct version for your bootloader

Oh okay okay I got it now.
You were on old bootloader right? If so then I am uploading a backup of gingerbread v20s.
Do you remember what version of rom did you have before you flashed cm? So We could match up the baseband and the rom.
Do you want to replace cwm recovery with stock recovery?
What version of cwm do you have? It is essential to know, because backup formats are differs between cwm versions

Yeah, Im on an old bootloader, because lots of roms use this BL. I flashed Gb V20 d or e, i don't know now, because these days I'm not at home. Tomorrow will be able to look at my computer and tell you the exact version. Probably its v20d.for baltic countries.now just need to backup it, remove Root, clockworkmod and take a phone to warranty. Its the only way to do it. Very change how these chips go out. Confusing . after all, very thank you for your help!
*Okay, I watched the version which was flashed previously CM, it was BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20c-BAL-XXX-MAR-16-2012-0. I'm uploading it to the dropbox, it will take time, because of the DSL upload speed (76 kb/s). Can I ask you to make a backup of this ROM, using CWM 6.0.3.1 with a root? Here's the link, it might be uploaded after 3 or more hours. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64768144/BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20c-BAL-XXX-MAR-16-2012-0.zip very thank you if you can !
