Can't power off bricked phone, help!

Hello,
I think I've bricked my X8 and I'd need some help, I'd really appreciate it :laugh:
Well, I had nAa kernel and LewaOS ported, but something went wrong and it was unstable lately, 'til it got frozen at loading screen and I couldn't do anything anymore, so I decided to go back to stock kernel and ROM, but I was hurried and I didn't pay much attention to what I was doing, so I flashed E15i kernel, instead of E15, so my mobile phone is now stucked at "Sony Ericsson" loading screen, but nothing happens.
I've been reading guides and well, it seems quite simple: use flashtool or PCC to unbrick it, okey. But here's my problem: when I have to turn my phone off -and then hold back button...- my phone won't go off: I press power switch but nothing happens, so I can't switch it off, and if I just remove battery it doesn't work (Flashtool or PCC, I tried both), so, what the he** can I do?
Any ideas?
Thanks

remove your battery, and wait 10 secs, then insert it and try with flashtool, if it doesnt work, remove baterry again, and try with pc companion, do a repair phone. that should work, i had a similar problem like that before...

pull out battery
connect usb cable
prepare flash tool or PCC
press back button
if flashtool or PCC is ready to flash
put battery in phone
wait for green led/light
if i helped press thanks button

It's not working, I did exactly what you told me, but there's no green flashmode light, just a blinking red one. Mobile doesn't have a light when I connect it to the charger either. Now I'm fearing that battery is dead

Remember to hold the BACK button when inserting USB so you can enter flash mode.

Maybe your phone just need charging,leave it at the charger for an hour,sometimes when it has low battery the light doesn't light up immediately when you connect your charger
And then follow the steps as described at the above posts

Hold down both volume buttons and the power button for 20 seconds, then it should boot!

try recharging the battery as it might be a wrong battery reading the 80%

downloading Emma right now, i will report soon

Hi Zohaib,
nice to see you here. Hope you will come up with some good roms.
good luck with your bricked device

Did you play with TA partition?
Did you unlocked the bootloader?
Ps:emma is only for unlocked bootloader so it wont work in locked bootloader.

If bootloader is unlocked it should be easy to fix, if it's locked it also should be able to be fixed if it's a soft brick is it locked or unlocked?

I have come across same problem a month before. Now just relax, it is easy procedure.
If your phone is struct in the loops, then you have to wait until battery gets completely discharged, (because you cannot remove the battery to stop the loop) . Then put your phone to charge for about 1 hour. NOW DO NOT TRY TO POWER UP YOUR DEVICE OTHERWISE YOU WILL HAVE TO AGAIN WAIT TILL COMPLETE DISCHARGE. Now repair using SUS OR PC COMPANION, OR YOU CAN TRY FLASHTOOL IF YOU HAVE FTF FILE.

You can force shutdown the phone like removing the battery by pressing volume up+ power for 15 seconds till you feel 3 vibrations.

There is a button combination to hard power off the device, you know?
Hold down power button together with volume up until the device vibrates three times should turn off the device under any circumstance.

Thanks
I managed to flash through flashtool and all working again

[Q] Phone soft-bricked, please help!

I flashed CM 10.2 using CWM on my Xperia TL (LT30AT) and when I rebooted it, the phone wouldn't turn on. The screen stays black, although the orange LED comes on when I plug it in. When I press the power button if it's unplugged, the LED flashes orange twice and turns off. I tried using Flashtool to flash the stock ftf, but it doesn't stay in flashmode long enough for it to flash it completely. Please help, I need this phone!

have you unlocked the bootloader?
If not then repair with pccompanion.
If you have flash a stock kernel first then flash with a stock ftf in flashtool.

My PC won't recognize it, and it won't stay in flashmode long enough to flash a stock kernel.
Now it's looping the Sony startup screen..
The bootloader is locked.

Then that's your problem,
You cannot flash cm on a locked bootloader.
Charge the phone for 24 hours then use pccompanion with the correct drivers to repair it

Hey,
Were you able to solve this issue. I have the same issue and I was trying to load pacman ROM on to my phone. The phone vibrates sometimes when pressing the power button. On long press of power + vol up, it does 3 vibrations and thats all. I tried "Emma" (the Sony flashtool) and it recognized my phone. But, the ATT model of xperia TL's bootloader cannot be unlocked and hence was not able to use the flashtool. the PC companion too detects the phone, but when i try to repair, it starts the process but says there is not update for the model. Is there any other manual way in which this issue can be resolved. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Use sony update service

Actually, the problem could be the same as for the Xperia T.. the cm 10.2 boot.img are corrupt.. I had the problem yesterday and needed to flash a boot.img from 11. november out of a nightly to get the 10.2 RC1 working.. You should try with fastboot. On an Xperia T you should force a shutdown with power button and volume up button pressed until it vibrates 3 times, and the boot into fastboot. I got it working but was not convinced with 10.2 RC1 cm.. I had the same bug as in an 10.1.3 stable : freezes when tilting the screen in graphical apps..
