What's your qualification?
You're a hardware engineer / hardware (repair) technician / hardware hacker?
No?
Stop dreaming about home brew repairs (as there is NO option left unless you fulfill the requirement from above, in which case you wouldn't post here) and either send it off to SE or throw it into the trash.

Firstly, you obviously didn't find this thread which would've spared you the trouble.
Secondly, it is a kind-of hardware problem now that you "killed" the phone with a failed boot loader unlock due to the date code being past 11W29
Thirdly, I have no idea what a "experts repair" (to use your words) will cost. So far no one obviously found a phone repair shop where the technicians had the required brains and tools to unbrick the phone - everyone who hard bricked the phone sent it off to SE.

Whoa?! 11W20 hard bricked?
Anyway, since something seems to have went wrong your only option is to send the phone off to SE for repair.
There is, as I already said, NO way for any home-brew repair left - unless you would already own the required hardware to JTAG the phone (RIFF box + X8 JTAG header or Medusa Box + X8 JTAG header).
Get in touch with your local SE service center and ask them how sending the phone in works (and refrain from telling them about what you did - just tell them "I tried to turn it on in the morning and it won't turn on - dunno what's wrong" *1000W angel halo*)
My friend faces same problem with his phone. He hard bricked it. The phone was other one but the logic is the same.
If you phone is still in warranty. Then they wont charge you. As they cannot know whats inside the phone. Is it rooted, unlocked, custom ROM or anything.
Just go to the shop, with this dead phone, tell them you saw this in the morning and something must have happened during the night (like make something up. Ofcourse a good reason) and before you know they will be agreeing to repair your phone with NO COST!
sigh..
guess its a trip to service center..
had that problem too..

I'm new here. so hello..problem is my SEw8 is broken (hardbrick) no light, no vibration, and i can't connect it in flash tool. is there any way I can recover my phone without sending it to Sony??. I just tried unlocking the boot loader and then a few seconds it turned off and then I tried to turn it on again and it's dead as in DEAD. my phone manufacturing date is 12W06. I will trash this phone if there's no way unbricking it my self
Nope bro. U can't unbrick it by youtself.
But if u can find a guy who own a jtag box, then u can unbrick it.
Otherwise u must send it to a repair shop or if u have warranty send it to se

No, its my attempt at humour when posting from my phone:silly:
@pikeylfc can you do this for me and let me know what happens.
Download the TL firmware from the all in one thread and flash it. However, instead of holding the volume down button (Normal for flashtool) can you hold BOTH the volume UP and DOWN button.
Tell me what happens in flashtool and on your phone please.

Hi all!
I did a big mistake some days ago.... I was updating my X8 from GingerDX 28 to 29 and some problem occured that my X8 didn't boot anymore, so I tried to flash with SEUS and PC Companion to get back the original ROM... But they doesn't work either. So I tried to start again, but this time I did some stupid, I used the X10 ftf from Flashtool to flash my X8!!! After that, it doesn't turn on, dont even light the LED when charging or connected using USB to PC. If a press turn on button in the top, it doesn't do anything and doesn't vibrate... Connecting using USB, windows doesn't identify that my X8 is there...
What can a do? Did I kill my X8?!?!?
Sorry my english...

I think you hard bricked your x8, because no response to on button is sign of hard bricking.

You either hard bricked it(I don't think so) or its just out of battery.
Charge it for an hour and flash the x8 ftf this time

Your right. The only way to fix it is using JTAG. I sent to a repair shop, they did the magic! Now it is in the way back from the shop by post mail. When I get it I will tell here if it's ok.

Make FTF Dump From X8
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a dump from a X8 that is currently in use, with the phones complete data (apps + info + settings )
in effect, a nandroid for use with Flashtool ?
I am thinking of using this method in replacement of nandroids because of the recovery being stored in the system partition and I have had problems with them before - usually MD5 mismatch errors.
you have hard bricked your phone !

I am looking at flashtool as a replacement to nandroid backup??
You can make flashtool .sin/.ftf files from nandroid backups. But these flashtool packages will work only with unlocked bootloader/patched loader, because you can make the .sin headers but can't reproduce the security signatures, so with locked bootloader better if you forget it...

I tried unlock bootloader before, using the main guide on here, but it kept bricking ?
The build is lower than the number advised to not use so I don't know what happened. I just had to keep trying, then recovering with SEUS.
Any help mate would be amazing as I am sick of being stuck on Stock 2.1-update1 and stock kernel, it limits the phones abilities so much!! argh!

Have you read this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356349 )? If you read and try every thing and your Xperia x8 is still Hardbricked than it probably is a hardware problem. In that case the only way to repair it is to take it to a Cell Phone Repair Shop and pay to get it fixed. As far as I know there isn't a way to repair it yourself unless you have a JTAG Box and some knowledge on electrical engineering.
what is exactly did u flash??
rooting your phone can't damaged your phone
but if u flashing wrong kernel, u can brick it
thanks for the replies, I tried everything, all the guides xda but nothing, I think it's a hardware problem, but it is strange happened when it was being updated, it is off and you are no longer on however, the strange thing is that it does nothing, it is as if the back button does not work, but it works
