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

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. I read somewhere here about rooting using doomlord's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440375). my questions are:
1. will this method work for stock Xperia SP? Literally just out of the box, everything stock. running JB 4.1.2 v.254.
2. what are the chances of bricking my phone? i really want to root mine because i want custom ROMs on it but im really nervous because its my only phone, and this will be the first time ill do it.
thanks in advance. appreciate all your replies
1.-Yes, thats the method for .254: You need to flash .257 kernel first.
2.-Sony phones can't get "bricked"...99% of the times they only get a boot loop, which means your SP wont get past the Sony-Xperia logo. In this scenario you need to repair via Flashtool or Update Service. Flashtool is more effective for "bricked" phones.

I have done it 8 times, with no problems at all. At first one I have only offline charging bug, but when I repair software with PC Companion, than make root with this method again that solve the problem with offline charging.
But only root? When U first read than do - its unable to brick your phone.

First of all connect your phone in flashtool, select Devices -> Chek Drivers and check if you have ABD driver installed.
Have you enable USB Debugging? Phone have to be also connected in MSC mode.
And at last. Have you turn off Flashtool before running script??
So on. More questions ask better in "ROOTing" thread. Or at first read this thread from start to the end before aksing quiestions. Theres a lot of answers.

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

Bricked!! -.-
Hey guys, I don't know if this is out of topic but since this is for xperia z bricked, I'll show my problem.
So, I updated my xperia z for 3 times since I bought it, It came with Android 4.2.2 and the updates were all OTA.
Then, sudently It started to reboot itself and entering in bootloop.. Then, I tried to use flashtool but always gave me error about S1 flash, and then "Error: Flash Aborted"
So I tried to unlock my bootloader several times (Yes, several times, because it was always saying ok, but then it was showing "ROOTABLE") then, when I Finally got it unlocked, I couldn't flash anything because it was gaving me error saying that couldn't write boot.. Then, Tried Pc companion but again, failed, and my phone was stuck in "Update failed (...)"
Then finally, I flashed advanced kernel by DoomLord and entered in CWM, but when I tried to wipe factory reset, It was saying that couldn't mount data.. Then, I have formated the Data and Media (SD Card) And then, I was able to do factory reset, but, then, I went to advance and did reboot recovery.. My phone turned off, but never came on... I arrived at home and connect ti to wall charger, but no sign of life, nothing, not even red led or anytihng.. NOTHING!! Don't know what happened.. I really need help on this man, please :c
