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..

have you tried the s1tool to read the phone and see the status of it might be that the boot loader needs locking and then re trying everything in the text guide.

Dude your saying the the phone is getting to the Sony Ericsson screen at least.
If it was totally bricked then it wouldn't even start up.
Have you installed all drivers for the x8 onto pc and also x10 drivers that flash tools come with ?
If its going to Sony screen and stopping then its software/rom problem.
Are you holding the back button down whilst plugging the usb cable into the phone ??
If you are what is it doing. Is this still booting up do you fee the phone vibrate then come on or just goes to boot and goes to the Sony screen

What Operating system is this on Windows wise. I will have a look around for some solution if any and see what I can come up with later

Windows 7...
Thanks mate ;D !

Try install gordon gate flash driver?

Is phone showing any signed of life ? Any vibration/led or something ?
If not its hardbrick I think its no way to fix hardbrick. The only way is to send it to Sony to fix it or buy a new phone
If your phone is turning on and there is vibration/led any signed of life there is change to fix it at home

[Q] Hard Brick Se w8

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

[Q] Wrong TA Partition Restore

i've restored TA Partition my Sony Z Ultra on my Sony Z1 by wrong
and z1 now is dead .. just red led when i connect it to pc
i tried to flash it via SETOOLS box and it gives me
error while uploading hdr
any solution please ?? :crying:

Nope, it's properly bricked

Sony will know this since minute one
I sometimes imagine their staff at how they read this forum and laugh their asses off...
Even if they replace the phone it is simpler for them to replace the phone than to investigate the issue )
Do someone on this forum even thinks that if sony whant's to find out the cause of a phone's brick they cannot ? They are finding the exact cause of microchip failing and the causes and they are not finding the cause for a simple partition with wrong data that should never fail on a memory that it is OK?
Plus they have signs, on a hard brick i understand that it will double flash the red led ) (did someone thought that they MADE the red flash for this simple reason? to know when the phone has been tampered with?)

@Killer2k8 even if Sony do so, You made a mistake with your phone and there is no way to resurrect it, or it was a gift from somebody from your family or you spend half of your salary, and you bricked the phone just to get root, the last chance is to play Stupid. (and I don't advice nobody to break the law)

Ask help on the guys from SETools. Ask them to help you locate the testpoint of your device(you need to open the back portion of your device for this though). Once you find it you're lucky then... Get a linux OS on your PC, mount your phone's partition and flash back the correct TA partition. Although yea the level of difficulty on this process is "Expert level" so good luck.
My explanation is just simple but I tell you it's alot harder when you do it.

You use test point on a z1?
You need to be giving advice not asking for it, there are so many other options to use before you start messing with that,,,

do you have original trim area backup ?

Yes I have it
I sent it to ur inbox @the_laser

i don't receive anything

@the_laser sorry .. now i sent it

I'd say that you would need to send it off for repair, sounds like a brick, i'd say that they'll do a straight swap for a new device.

With the original TA backup and setools and jtag its possible....
