[Q] Bricked Xperia X8 - need expert

Help me please
I have a Brick Xperia X8, my Xperia Stuck on "Sony Ericsson" after I turn on my device. my Xperia has been rooted for GingerDX (actually i already try gingercruzz, froyobread, etc) and my xperia stuck in "Sony Ericsson" after I do full wipe and format system(because i already done many install and uninstall application). T T
if I charge my xperia through original charger, it only stuck on "Sony Ericsson" and the LED not flame.
I have tried using SEUS, PCC and Flashtool, but my Xperia cannot response while connecting usb cable and press back button. the program keep requesting for connecting usb cable and press back button. but the LED green is on
The Big Problem is " My Xperia won't response after the program request for connecting usb cable and press back button" that command always like that, even I connect usb cable to my phone and press back button. either in SEUS, PCC, Flashtool even in S1toll
I have tried to use Reelock bootloader(S1tool), but my xperia could not response too. either I click Identity, Flash or Restore. I have tried Gordon's Gate to reset my usb port, but my computer always hang when I connected USB cable and press back button.
Please, what can I do to save my Xperia X8...
my phone already bricked for 2 weeks, and I read many forum from XDA, Android-indonesia, kaskus, and many of bloggers but not worked for my Xperia
Help me Please...

okay...
if you're still confuse, downgrade your phone!
its last option
downgrade into 2.1 - download this file from files crop X8 E15i 2.1.1.C.0.0._un.ftf
root your phone by flash tool..
then install xrecovery by clicking cross icon on flashtool
OR
download this file (password=cintaindonesia) and extract in your SDcard
after that copy paste three files(busybox, chargemon, xrecovery.tar) in system\bin
and you will get xrecovery
after that
unlock bootloader using flashtool OR s1tool
Flash the latest ICS kernel
backup
factory reset, wipe data, etc
Flash ROM
done!

Is something showed on device manager when you try to connect in flashmode?
Maybe the problem its driver related. Also to make sure is not, try flashmode in another computer.

Try using flashtool to flash the original firmware.
Check if holding the vol - works.
If it does. Then you dont have to worry. Your device will be fine.

Try googling for the .ftf file for your Xperia Z. Then you can flash the firmware with flashtool & I think.u should do it before your battery is gone...
Cause after flashing ftf it takes almost 3-4 minutes to boot.

i was following the step that found in XDA

the files you can download inside.BUT something you should be aware~
1.this two file (Z_DooMLoRD_CF-Auto-Root-ported_FW-350.img and Z_DooMLoRD_insecure_FW-350.img)
should put it in the same of adb.exe file (c:\xxx\sdk\platform-tools\)
2.IF you don't know how to connect devices in fastboot mode in step 6 (following by the website i gave)
you should wait after flashing CF-Auto-root and reboot about once , plugin your usb and press VOLUME UP key TOGETHER
in that time ,you should see a blue led light on your devices.
I'd try that just disconnect and hard power off ,and plugin usb normally ,you will be fail to enter fastboot mode.
So my solution of solving boot loop after flashing CF-auto-root ,is PRESS and HOLD VOLUME UP key WHILE plugin your usb.
i did a big and long time reseach that teaching how to root xperia z ,all haven't point out that the method of entering fastboot mode
maybe they use another way to enter anyway my devices is running normal now and rooted
Hope these can help you :laugh: and

Thanks. I will try again later.
Anyway, I am running on Windows 8 and I'm not sure if it could be one of the issues I've faced.
I installed both the Flashtool abd Fastboot drivers and it was ok except for the Google driver which it said was not installed.
I checked the Adroid SDK by running the SDK pgm and it tells me I have Google Drivers (version 7) already installed.
So it should be ok, rite??

Please help to unbrick my xperia z

I am in an awkward situation.
xperia z, 4.2.2 244 rooted stock rom, bootloader locked, usb debug mode off, recovery not installed.
I accidentally corrupted build.prop and the phone bricked.
I cannot use flashtool to flash the stock rom back because usb debug mode is off.
I cannot use Sony update service Pro to force update because it said that "your phone already has the latest available software installed".
I cannot use PC Companion to repair because the software said that "Sony update engine doesn't have software available for your phone".
Please help.

You can use Flashtool to flash stock rom, doesn't matter if usb debug mode is on or off (only needed to install recovery or to root)
Download stock rom, install flashtool + drivers and follow screen instructions.. Good Luck! :good:
J have the same problem, yesterday j installed cyanogenmod, now xperia Z was on SONY logo and j can't flash original firmware on flashtool, j can only flash original kernel, but is still on sony logo

You can use Flashtool to flash stock rom, doesn't matter if usb debug mode is on or off (only needed to install recovery or to root)
Download stock rom, install flashtool + drivers and follow screen instructions.. Good Luck! :good:

yes, you are right. Yesterday I check everything on the right panel and it does not work. Today I leave all option unchecked and flash properly. Many thanks anyway.

Just follow the flashtool instruction and re-flash the stock rom first, everything will return to unroot stated. Reroot then and try again.

j tried several times with different PC and different ftf file.
j hope to solve this problem, but how...

The above didn't work for me because I received error based on my type of phone.
This guide however did help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
I had to reboot windows to a settings to enable unsigned drivers. Installed Flashtool and it's drivers,
First unlocked the bootloader(BLU button, got the IMEI, used the sony form (http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions))
Then I downloaded the stock sony xperia z ftf image, placed it in Flashtool's firmware folder, then flashed it (flash device > flash mode).
Now my phone's working again.
HTH,

If you still can enter custom recovery, you only need flash rom and (with) suitable kernel.
If not, you need Flashtool.
- make sure you have the newest version of flashtool and driver
- connect your phone to pc.
- when computer show error about usb not recognized, go to computer management - device manager. Find something in universal serial bus controller list that have yellow triangle and exclamation mark. right click and remove it
- disconnect your phone then reboot your pc
- install flashtool and driver, reboot pc again
- connect your phone to pc. Now, it should detect your phone.
- do flashing procedure
