[Q] How do i solve this? VIDEO ADDED...

I got a X8 that has been bricked, but the phone still haven't reach me yet...
Last time i posted my topic here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688987
but i posted at a wrong section, sorry about that...
This is the info from the thread i posted at the wrong section
Code:
Hi all...
My friend sent his X8 to a phone shop to get it updated to android 2.3.7 and ended up with a bricked phone cause by that phone shop.
Now, which according to him stuck at the white "Sony Ericsson" logo...Which i know is a soft brick and most probably can be saved by flashing it with PCC or SEUS or FlashTool.
I have ask him to flash it with SEUS or FlashTool, but not successful, still stuck on the SE logo, i doesn't know weather he do it wrongly or does not has any patient...
I gonna buy this phone from my friend, and repair the phone myself.
I want to ask u guys is there any other reason for the phone to stuck at the SE logo other than bricked phone? Could it be a hardware prob?
8/6/2012 UPDATE:
Just now my fren turn on the X8, it stuck at the white "Sony Ericsson" text, and after a moment, the phone reboot itself and stuck at there again and reboot itself again and again...
guys, based on the latest update from my friend, can this phone be saved?
And do share some experience if u do encounter such prob...
9/6/2012 UPDATE:
This morning i trying to flash my phone again...
I flash it with android 1.6 stock ROM (1.3.A.0.62) and it would boot up normally...
I also try to update the phone from 1.3.A.0.62 to 2.1.1.A.0.6 by using PCC, but also remain the same...
Then i flash it with FlashToool using 2.1 stock ROM (2.1.1.A.0.6 and 2.1.1.C.0.0) it would ended up like this see the video below
My X8 with 2.1 stock rom:
What type of brick is this?
Thanks...
Cheers...
And have a nice day

maybe its a dumb question, but have you tried with pc companion or flashtool?

Nope, cannot...

Do you have recovery flashed?
If not then read how to do it and get it done then wipe all caches inc the dalvik in advanced menu..

I think it has, or might doesn't have, cause i dunno what that phone shop did to the phone.
Furthermore my fren has flash the phone with FlashTool for a few time already, which i think all the data has been wiped...is it correct?
Hmm...Can i install recovery that the phone that cannot boot?

Definitely will try it out...

UPDATE again:
Just now after flashing with SEUS, still stuck at the se logo and keep rebooting...

Update again...
This morning i was able to flash the phone with 1.3.A.0.62 stock firmware...
But one weird thing is i it state baseband as unknown...
but i still can receive sms and calls...
after that i flash it with 2.1.1.A.0.6 stock rom, and it stuck at the white SE logo and keep rebooting...
Help guys...

I dont really know bout the condition. Usually works with seus or flashtool. Maybe something has been changed, like kernel or/and baseband. Maybe u would need to flash stock kernel and baseband too. Try flashing them and hope it ll work.

Hmm...
The stock kernel and baseband comes together with the ftf file package right?
Where can i get the stock kernel and baseband?

try this X8_E15_2.1.1.C.0.0_generic.ftf.7z
Make sure your flashtool is at it's lastest version
Flashtool-0.6.9.1-windows.exe
Tips: Just double click the firmware during flashing operation and ignore second second windows that shows information about the .tft package & press ok

I did the error too, try via flashtool to flash an older ftf of your choice for your phone in order to get it booting,
if it boots, refers to DooMlord's post > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405
Flash his old kernel; boot, use his exploit to root, then flash his other kernel; boot,
install the dual recovery by Philz > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452982

Flash the flashable file via CMW but don't reboot, just power off and after that use flashtool to flash the stripped ftf.
Hope I helped
PS: Doing that I get stuck, once at Sony's logo, once during the Bootloader's loading.
But with what I wrote before you normally should be able to boot it
All the credits goes to the devs, not me!

Have you ever used Flashtool before bro? ^^'
An FTF file is a FlashToolFormat file, one of the most used file is the Android world
Just search a bit on the forum, I'm sure you will find some ^^
By older I ment some 10.3.1.A.0.244/2.67 firmwares ^^
I just can"t remember where I get 'em sorry bro :S

Go to c:\flashtool\firmwares\ and delete "prepared" folder. - That's only firmware files prepared every time for flashing.
Restart your PC and open flashtool (right click and open it as administrator.
Make sure you have at least 1Gb of free space on your disk where's flashtool is located.

Xperia Z1 Bricked

Hi guys I seriously need help. I bricked my Z1 c6903. I accidentally deleted the OS by wiping dalvik, system, etc,. Im sorry if this was already posted somewhere here. Im new to this. If someone would kindly help me or give me help in unbricking my device Id really appreciate it.
PS, Z1 was given to me already rooted. It has TWRP recovery, and I know that Im really stupid for tinkering with the advanced option. Im new to using custom recovery, rooting, etc.

If you still have recovery , boot into recovery, mount usb and copy ROM from your PC.
Flash ROM and restart...
If you don't have recovery, use flashtool to flash ftf. (534) root it and then upgrade to 761 (latest firmware)
BTW, your device isn't bricked, there's missing system, that's all...
And yeah...that wasn't stupid at all...this things happens and, if you ask me- TWRP team should change that wipe options...
It's not well made...
First option should be only cache wipe and advanced should have format data and system option...

You are welcome mate
Yeap...
One thing is very important - use latest flashtool..and everything will be OK.
You'll be surprised how easy that is...
Flash firmware 534 (JB)
Turn device off, open flashtool and prepare 534 firmware, start flashing and connect device (holding vol down) connect device when flashtool ask for it, don't do that right away...
root it with binary method (just Google" binary root method xda") first link is what you need.
Install NUT recovery.
Restart to recovery, flash NUT 757, TURN DEVICE OFF!!!
And flash stripped ftf (that's kernel)
It's very important to turn device off, don't restart. (to flash stripped ftf)
I always practice to hit flashtool "start" button and wait for flashtool to ask for device, that's is the best way to be 100% sure your device won't leave flashmod

well the firmware that ill be using is 257 because its branded on a carrier here on my country(PH).

Well yeah...I just said that..
If you don't want to root then don't root it, just flash firmware.
I would flash latest firmware but if you are sure you'll get 757 or 761 OTA update then you can flash older firmware...

come to think of it. it sounds easy. just download the ftf then flash using flashtool.
btw. will it cause any problems if the phone has a custom recovery(twrp)?
thank you

If you do not want root just use pccompanion and choose repair my phone when the options comes up.

Man, I asked you do you still have recovery and you said no?!?
Use recovery to flash stock based ROMs like NUT or iHackers, flashtool or pc companion to flash stock unrooted firmware.
It won'tbe a problem if you have twrp (recovery), it'll wipe everything...
We are talking for a two hours and you are asking same question over and over again...
I wanna help but come on....
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

It doesn't have to
Turn the phone off, do not attach it to the PC
Run pccompanion, choose software update
When prompted choose the blue option to repair the phone, go through the instructions and attach phone in flashmode when prompted

It doesn't have to
Turn the phone off, do not attach it to the PC
Run pccompanion, choose software update
When prompted choose the blue option to repair the phone, go through the instructions and attach phone in flashmode when prompted

Recovery install help...

I'm rooted and on a custom rom on my Z1 but I've lost all recoverys since I installed it. I've tried using the TWRP app to install and Flashify but I just get a error saying " recovery partition not found " can anyone help me at all get TWRP or some recovery on my Z1?
I've no pc at the moment so I have to try get a recovery installed using just my phone.
Thx & I really hope someone can help I'm not liking the rom I'm on at all, rather stock rooted with xposed probably some kernel too.

Which rom do you use? Probably you should shut down your phone and then press simultaneously power and volume down. Up to when you hear the second vibrate, now you should only push volume down. Then your recovery should appear

DSTRÍIKER Rom bud and can't get into any recovery at all.... It's really annoying

Bootloader locked or unlocked??
Remeber the more info you give less question I have to ask.
Model, rom, bootloader, root status etc

Unlocked bud

Then flash kernel image from Rashr app. Choose any stock based kernel. I like ok kernel. In the zip extract the boot image and then flash it through Rashr app from playstore. There you go kernel and recovery.

IL try now stock kernel only yea?
