If the kernel logo appears then its not hard brick.Reflash the kernel or the other kernel.Might work
Press thanks

Bro,
I had similar issue before.If u still have vibrate or LED flashed(green or red)after push power button then its not hard brick.Its batt mess up & its not gonna to work even exchange with other battery.What I do is>put it on charging>go to sleep>wake up next morning & tadaa..its normal again.

Ok
1.I need to buy another battery because this one isn't working anymore
How much does battery cost?
2.I cant flash no signs of life no LED light no vibrate,no nothing
Still just a soft brick
If its hard brick than WTF
I have 11w19 and hard brick while flashing kernel
I hope it's just soft brick
o yeah....When i tried to charge my battery it doesnt charge at all
HELP!!!!

charge the cellphone for a while and see whats happen,maybe your out of battery men,it cant be a hardbrick only for flashing a custom kernel

How about putting the USB connected on the phone pressured upwards...
Maybe the cord of the charger is broken...

Today in school i tried to turn it on with another xperia x8 battery and nothing....
EDIT:I think i have either Coma brick or Hard brick

Its coma brick, connect charger and wait one day

I think its not a hard brick cz flashing kernel aint bick you phone..
Try to plug your phone with charger for one hour and see if the led is working.

Try to get your phone in flash mode using your frnds battery and if it is possible then flash it using a stock kernel available in xda(ftf file) o using PC companion...
Then it will work completely and you can charge your battery if its working..
Hit thanks if I helped you..

I will try that.....thanks
Sent from my U8650 using XDA

I'm pretty sure you can use SUES without a battery present to flach back to stock rom/kernel. Give it a go, it will either work or it won't but if i recall I have done it before.

It didnt work but thanks anyway

So you mean you cant get to flash mode. Can you?

HELP i cant recieve calls after flashing new kernel !!!

hi today i flashed FXP new kernel and for some reason i cannot recieve any incoming calls :S i can text out and get texts and i can call out this is wierd i have checked the kernel and it should allow me to recieve calls but its not nothing to do with kernel as its fine. i cant flash with SEUS or pc companion or flash tool i have flashed over 10 diff back ups and nothing
okay so i finally got flash tool to flash stock rom. But after flashing it just refuses to turn on not even charging it works nor if i take battry out and plug it back in whilst holding the power button. and it will not go into flash mode. from my side of things it has bricked no way back for it now unless blagus or fxp can enlighten me on a way to recover
It seems you have the first bricked phone due to bootloader problems..
If so, as of now only SE can help you..
Try taking the battery out for at least 15 secs.
Good luck.

okay so i finally got the phone to turn back on after about 3hurs of trying to flash anything i could ,baseband,kernels stock rom, nothing worked for hours untill i gave it 1 last try and it turned on but !! it does not get pastr sony logo. i have flashed new basebands kernels roms the lot and NOTHING i do can gt it past this f**king logo :'( i will update with progress later but it seems because i unlocked my boot loader and then straight after i unlockerd with the omnius tool that something has gone seriously wrong
OKAY people my friend got my phone back on but it cost me just under £30 lol but im glad
The fact that the phone is on is a good sign have you tried restoring the bootloader to its locked state it may fix your problem just have to make sure you've got the original kernel just have to go into s1tool and press restore

if you think ur battery is charged enough...first try to enter into CWM(if your phone is already rooted)by pressing power+volume down buttons and you can restore if you have a backup.if not, flash a custom ROM or try an upgrade with LG tool one more time
incase nothing is working...try this...it is for devices which are bricked....

[Q]How to unbrick?

OK guys!
yesterday i cooked a ROM with dsixda's Android Kitchen.I also checked the updateR-script file to prevent any damage.
but the problem is :
ROM was flashed successfully and every single function worked. I just turned my phone off and it doesn't boot any more.
Any suggestions?
Is that a BRICK?
Thank you all in advance!:crying:

Can you get into Download/Recovery Mode? and what is it doing? Just black or showing the bootanimation? And btw you should have posted that in the q&a thread!
Try connect phone to charger and we will see.
thank you!
first i knew this should have been posted in Q&A but thought you guys can help me more.
my phone is showing a black screen and no response.
I just dont know what the hell has happened to this. It was working fine but ... you know the story!
I dont know if its a hard brick either. cuz nothing (just nothing) happened to the phone. No wrong flashing,ROM manager,...
just wanted to know what the should i do with this thing:crying::crying::crying:
You don't have flashed any kernel that's not for the i9001 right? If you have done that it's hard bricked. if not it's rescue-able

So, does download mode work or not?
1.I haven't flashed any incorrect kernel
2.I can't boot the phone anyway.
Told you guys
dunno what the hell is wrong with this!
just after flashing my cooked ROM I shut the device down and thats all!
I don't think this is called a Brick but anyway I can't fix it
If you cant boot phone anyway, that's Hard Brick...

I try to buy a new one and try again.
BUT PLEASE GIVE UR FEEDBACK MAYBE I DIDN'T NEED TO BUY ANYTHING.

The first advice I can give to you is to take the battery out for overnight then put it back in.

[Q] Xperia X8 is dead.. PLEASE HELP.. :(

My X8 is totally dead after flash Stock 2.1 Firmware, using flashtool.
I couldn't turn it on, and couldn't get into CWM.
PC can't detect it, so I can't use Flashtool to fix it.
It can't be charged, no LED blink, NO RESPONS at all..
It has been successfully unlocked before, and there's no problems arise, flash kernel, flash firmware, it worked fine until I get it back to stock firmware.
Somebody help me please.. :crying:
Any idea to solve it?? beside using jtag..
thank you before..
(sorry for my english)
Charge it.
If you can't repair it with flashtools then I would recommend you to take it to Sony...
Also it may be possible that the battery of your phone is finished so better leave it connected to charger for few minutes and see whether it turns on..

It's not a 100% sure solution. Only a few had a problem worth to use it in our device. In my knowledge, most of them succeeded to get in to the download mode(That's not assuring you will). :fingers-crossed: Keep your battery fully charged by any other methods.
You can try it yourself. You can get one for just $1.6 from here or build one using this guide

Thank you!, i will try to buy one, i just did not saw any video in youtube describing my problem i think its just full brick and can't be fixed
nope. not turning on was full brick, u need unbrickable mod (UBM), jig for error entering download mode with 3 button combo or adb
n is it really brick? try charge it, juz plug da fone n leave it for 2 hours n boot it after that
n for ur info, error in flashing will result in middle or softbrick, if doesnt even turn on after flashing something with odin, then its not i9000 as flash i9003 with i9000 rom will result in full brick (which mean u need UBM for this problem)
