how to unbrick a hardbrick(possible to do it onself) - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Fren hardbricked his x8 when unlocking bootloader. Did not see that his device is w38 and above so unlocking bootloader is out of the ques. Now he want to unbrick but can't access flash mode or go into recovery or even press on anything? I read on9 regarding something about medusa. Possible to recover it ? I don't think there is any since he can't even connect his phone to pc via usb cable? If there is pls enlighten me. Thanks

It's possible via J-tag box, Bro. But i don't know how to use it. Just Google
I will respect to you, if you can respect to the other rest.

one thing i don't understand is how to use it when I can't even connect my usb cable.. Not detecting the device on the pc so how do I even use it
edit : nvm figured it out... seems like I'll have to buy a riff box which will cost me some serious cash.. Might as well as my fren buy a whole new x8

Of course It's expensive. But send to the phone for a repair shop

Don't tell them you hard bricked it. Just say you tried to turn it on in the morning and it wouldn't turn on or something like that.
They can't prove you unlocked the bootloader as the phone is dead so they'll repair it.

look like very2 scared!!
don't panic!
just use SEUS
1-update using SonyEricsson Update Service
2-click update and follow the simple step
(when u see "your phone software is updated") just click install
please reply
yep, you can use seus. if you fix it and root it again, please try not to unlock your bootloader again please.lol
P.S if you think you could, could you tell me why did you try to unlock your bootloader. was it because of the modules you could add on?
SEUS is not available form long time
Use PC Companion
Why did SEUS disappear?

sorry bro late to reply....i cant do it because my phone totally not function...LED also not blink...and usb can't detect anymore...i have use W8 and i unlocked using x8 method...is it the cause for my problem??
I´ve heard of people unlocking the bootloader on their W8 without any brick, only the kernels didn´t work.
By the way:
Have you ever heard of the "search-function", because with this function, you´l find this if you search for "unbrick".
You probably have new security phone, so unlock method is outdated for your phone.
So what he need to do ?

Most likely they can fix your phone ... one would at least assume that a Sony Ericsson service center has some means to restore shot devices through a JTAG interface or by directly wiretapping the NAND and re-writing its contents.
Though - better ask them to call you back in case the repair would become too costly (i.e. the service center would replace the components boards instead of just restoring the NAND of the device)

Mate, Its to dengerous to Unlocking the bootloader on outdate 11W29+,
Once Hardbrick, you cannot revive ur phone by ur Self, u need to send it in for Repair, and most likely they will change ur motherboard.
But, Maybe Have Someone succesed unlock bootloader on outdate X8?
If yes, yeah ! I want it to, for my 2nd X8

hey dude, well my w8 was on W1129+ but i took the risk and ended up hard-bricking my phone ands as a result had to take it back for repairs... they changed the motherboard (as you said) but didnt change the stickers...
is there anyway i can identify the "week" of my current motherboard?
But with the w8 its waaaay much more risk for a hard brick But the x8 is a little bit more safe ..

Hey Dude,
I think service center replaced the mobo with a pre 11W29 one,
Most likely that the replacement is even newer [11W5x -> 12W0x] than your original motherboard was. There is no way to find out "week" of you mobo except
of the sticker, or maybe you can ask them what the "week" mobo they replaced for you,
Peace,

i try to unlock bootloader my w8, but i even ask this forum.. (my bad)
im using flashtool 0.2.9.1,s1tool my w8-code is 12w12,

i just doing wrong,bad
after doing unlock,my phone just like dead,cant turn on,can respon even tryn with back button..
please help me how to fix this..
regrats,
(sorry for my bad english)
Why did you even try? You read the warnings. Try to plug the charger and wait a few minutes and cross your fingers.
If that doesn't work, i hope your warranty is still in effect because you need to send it to sony.
No warranty anymore? Hopefully you're good with electronics. Find a guide here on xda and try to unbrick it with ressurection cables.
That's it. I hope you have warranty though.

[Q] Xperia X8 won't turn on!

Hello! I have tried to unlock bootloader on my Xperia X8 and i run msm7227 then my phone turned off and after that i can't:
-Turn it on.
-Go into flash mode.
and my computer won't recognize it. I have been reading every single post for that problem and everyone says "Go into flash mode" or "Install PC Companion and repair phone" etc.
If anyone has the same problem please help.
Thanks
What did the sticker at the back of the battery say? If it's 11w29+ then it's a hard brick.

What now?
Try taking it to any shop that fixes phones. Or if you're real good at it use JTAG to revive the phone.
This is happening to a friends phone which I tried to update as I did with mine...
In my cellphone, it worked. On his, it's a hard brick...
Now I'm looking for a shop where they can fix it... do you know maybe the average price for this kind of repair?
PS: If you still have warranty, take it to where you bought it, and say that you left it loading overnight and the next morning you found that you can't turn it on. They'll replace it right away =)

Its sad to say that your phone is hardbriked..there are several posts in this forum which clearly says you should NOT TRY to unlock the boot loader on phones manufactured PAST 11W29..Anways
You have 3 options
1. Go to Sony service center (Recommended)
2. Use GTAG to unbrick..(only experienced ppl can do this i suppose.)
3. A software called SETool2 can also unbrick your phone if you are ready to pay some credits. Check this .
Happy unbricking and do post your experience if you use options 2 or 3.
