[Q] Softbricked - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was currently installing a V6 supercharger on my Xperia x8 then it suddenly stopped. It automatically restarted then it's stuck on the SE logo. I already tried PC Companion and SEUS but it won't recognize my device when it comes to the "press the back button" thing. Already tried a flashing tool with the stock firmware but it says error flashing. Been searching for almost half a day for fixes. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Put battery out open PCC
Put battery in hold back button
And connect x8 to pc and restore it

Still, PCC can't detect my phone. Still stuck on the press the back button thing.

[Q] Xperia T Boot-Loop after Update

Heyho!
I searched almost the whole day & web to find a solution for my problem, and you are my last instance.
My 1 day old Xperia T got into a Boot-Loop, and only the Sony-Logo shows up after starting the phone.
Previous procedure:
I installed the Sony PC Companion 2.1 and updated to 7.0.A.3.195, after this the phone went into the loop.
Now i can't flash any other software because USB-Debugging is off, and i didn't root the phone yet.
I tried to flash back to LT30p_7.0.A.1.303_Generic DE (found it here) but without Debugging = no flash.
Do you have any idea how i can flash or use any other FW without Debugging or Root?
Flashmode and Fastboot mode work in Xperia Flasher!
If you can stand loosing your data you could try a factory reset via recovery.
Info on how to access recovery menu is in the all-in-one thread.
If I helped, hit Thanks!

If you tried this via the official PCCompanion you could always take it back to the shop.
But i do suggest the following
1) Uninstalling pccomapnion
2) Redownload and install PCCompanion
3) Repair phone via PCComapnion. (You do not need USB debbuging for this)

I can't even enter Recovery because it immediately restarts after the Sony Logo!

The PCCompanion doesn't even recognize the phone because it always restarts. There are only 2 modes: loop or off.
I will return this brick to the shop, thank you for the proposals!

Your phone needs to be turned off for PCCompanion to flash it....Just go through the steps to update software and choose repair

I know what you mean, but when i plug in the USB-cable, the phone automatically turns on.
The menu is like this: SEARCH -> CONNECT (i plug in the cable) -> RECOGNITION -> at this point the phone is on for a few seconds
but it turns off and aborts the update!
This error appears: "PC Companion could not connect to the phone... please read the document troubleshooting".
But no point in this document helps me. There are only proposals like:
-use another USB port
- turn the phone off and on again
- Use another USB-cable
Seems like Sony bricked it with it's own software
Take it back to the shop then

Did you try :
while device is power ON
Volume Up + POWER (for 10 seconds) -> resets the battery, its like removing the battery and putting it back in [device will vibrate once]
Volume Up + POWER (for additional 5 seconds, total 15 seconds) -> will power off hard, device will power down [device will vibrate thrice]

You don't have to. You have to put the device in fastboot or flashmode which you reach by holding either vol-up or vol-down BEFORE respectively WHILE hooking the phone up to your pc.
But as greg said, undplug and completely power off your device and put it aside. Then start PC Companion and chose repair. PC Companion will then guide you through the steps necessary to get your phone to a state where it can be reflashed.
because it always restarts. There are only 2 modes: loop or off.

Not true, it does not restart by itself in either flashmode nor fastboot mode
As pointed out above, theres fastboot mode and flashmode which bypass the failing OS bootup

You obviously have no clue what a brick is. You have a bootlooping device which is nowhere near a brick. But that's probably a detail you're not interested in.
Try to follow the steps above to repair (=basically a full on, clean reflash in Sony vocabulary) your phone and get rid of the bootloop.
Hi guys.
first ever post in here!(because nearly all of the time i've found an answer here!! cheers!)
i've had exactly the same problem and been looking all over for a solution as i also have the boot loop problem occurring. tried the repair options in pc companion and also SUS. if i'm right the battery has to be above 50% to update and i'm pretty sure it's drained. i remember when flashing my htc one x when that was stuck in bootloop with low battery that to get enough battery I made a battery loop batch file which charged the device. however this was in fastboot mode and i don't think i have that option on my Xperia T. is there any way to charge the battery so as to attempt another repair?
Thanks in advance!

Just leave it plugged in. But i have used pccompanion when the battery has been as low as 10%.
I think you could try a hard reset. (Volume up and power button for 5-8 seconds, and then keep it pressed for a further20 seconds, untill it vibrates several times) Then try flashing a stock .303 file from the all in one thread via flashtool

leaving it plugged in just continues bootloop. sorry should have mentioned i've tried hard reset. i did try flashtool (0.9.9.0 version?) but it was not picking up the device.

why are you flashing an x10 relock bootloader ftf?
Choose an xperia T stock generic ftf from the all in one thread and place that in the firmware folder of flashtools and choose that when you hit the flash button

yes, realised this after i sent you the screenshot my bad. thought the flashtool would've already had ftf's pre-loaded so to speak. will give this a bash once it finishes downloading!

tried the flashtool with the relevant ftf file but after an initial connection phase it kept bootlooping back out of 'connected mode'. however i left i (trial and error) and it did start to flash the ftf but initially it stopped around 40% then re-bootlooped. i messed around with vol- connection to usb and power plus vol+ shutdown method (which incidentally did not vibrate) serval times left it plugged in and each time it started but stopped flashing around 92-94% complete. having got frustrated i just thought what the hell and left it to attempt to charge overnight (i say attempt as this method never seemed to charge the device once i had this problem). Anyways i must've done something right (or not!:silly as i tried it again but today there must've been some charge applied as it flashed on the second attempt i tried (the first resulted in another aborted flash) it flashed my T no problem!:good:
thank you guys!:laugh:
Glad it worked out for you.
But you activated USB-Debugging before your phone started looping right?

Can't power off bricked phone, help!

Hello,
I think I've bricked my X8 and I'd need some help, I'd really appreciate it :laugh:
Well, I had nAa kernel and LewaOS ported, but something went wrong and it was unstable lately, 'til it got frozen at loading screen and I couldn't do anything anymore, so I decided to go back to stock kernel and ROM, but I was hurried and I didn't pay much attention to what I was doing, so I flashed E15i kernel, instead of E15, so my mobile phone is now stucked at "Sony Ericsson" loading screen, but nothing happens.
I've been reading guides and well, it seems quite simple: use flashtool or PCC to unbrick it, okey. But here's my problem: when I have to turn my phone off -and then hold back button...- my phone won't go off: I press power switch but nothing happens, so I can't switch it off, and if I just remove battery it doesn't work (Flashtool or PCC, I tried both), so, what the he** can I do?
Any ideas?
Thanks
remove your battery, and wait 10 secs, then insert it and try with flashtool, if it doesnt work, remove baterry again, and try with pc companion, do a repair phone. that should work, i had a similar problem like that before...
pull out battery
connect usb cable
prepare flash tool or PCC
press back button
if flashtool or PCC is ready to flash
put battery in phone
wait for green led/light
if i helped press thanks button

It's not working, I did exactly what you told me, but there's no green flashmode light, just a blinking red one. Mobile doesn't have a light when I connect it to the charger either. Now I'm fearing that battery is dead

Remember to hold the BACK button when inserting USB so you can enter flash mode.

Maybe your phone just need charging,leave it at the charger for an hour,sometimes when it has low battery the light doesn't light up immediately when you connect your charger
And then follow the steps as described at the above posts

One thing is important in your case. After downloading when you reconnect your data cable, don't forget to press back button instantly for 5 second. After that phone update will be start....

Try holding that red button for 5 seconds. If that doesn't work, try plugging it in to a charger. Does the led turn on?

remove the battery for 10 sec or force power off completely by holding vol up down and power button . using flashtool connect the mobile only when it say connect. i mean just select the rom and click flash without connecting the phone . then in a few sec it will ask you to connect the mobile . connect it by holding the vol down button . hope it works
