Hi Guys,
I require your help.
I think i have bricked my Xperia Z1 while trying to flash a ftf.
firstly when i tried to switch on my phone it showed "Update failed please connect to system and update again"
now the phone is totally bricked (no response) and when i try to connect it in flashmode windows detect it as qhsusb_bulk device.
Can anyone please suggest or help !
can you please enumerate your steps of doing this?if it's ok...think positive dont panic!
You are not the first and I think you are not the last. Phone Bricked mean dead, your is not. If you PC can recognize the phone that mean something is working.
So, did you use flashtool v0.9.11 or v0.9.13?
From my previous experience, the best way to rescue Xperia is Sony Update Service.
So, please try SUS.

Since your device is detected by flashtool , please use SUS.
Flashtool has little chance to force flash since it gives errors and stop half way.
But SUS does because it dont need to verifer your phone but you have to choose it from a list, it might not success at the first time but will go through the whole process(i tried to resure xperia TX with 5 flashs and it eventually boot)
So keep flash with SUS until your phone boot.
PC companion need to recognise your phone model so it is a bit tricky.

Like you can see in the post the phone is recognised so I don't see the problem.
I will also recommended to try different FTF, it seem like will be some error there.
And at last I will repeated the follow steps:
Keep pressed volume down all the time and connect the phone via usb to PC, do not open flashtool (do not use drivers from sony site, if you installed them uninstall them, windows will do that) wait 1 minute and let windows install the drivers automatically first, then open flashtool, select firmware and flash it, keep pushing volume down all the time. When on the green bar below show up the % of the process you can leave your phone alone. Done.

you need to have a look how to flash the device if it is in hs-usb mode (qualcomm is the manufacturer of our snapdragon 800 CPU and the hs-usb mode is meant for vendors to flash bootloader a.s.o.)
i never tried such a thing and maybe it simply can't be done without the special unofficial tools that the vendors have.
so this really looks like a brick ...
hope the best for you guys ...

Bored to mention it: Wrong Windwos ADB Drivers. If the device is recognized how can it be bricked. Just wrong set/recognized.
But if you all prefer to send your devices in, open the cases (OMG) or other useless stuff... Entering in Flash/Fastbootmode has nothing to do with the battery. On older Xperia devices you could even flash without/removed battery... The S1 Fastboot unlock worked without battery. How do you think does Sony interact with the ROM's or EEPROMS? A special hidden connector? A special Software? Whispering?
I have the same problem and posted here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2623486
I tried with a second sony xperia z1 that already had 4.3 OTA update and then tried flashing it again using flashtool and it worked so this eliminates the program and usb cable.....the one I have now which is giving me issues is one which had 4.2.2 and im trying to flash to 4.3

Why are you trying to flash x10 kernel on x8?
ouch, damn, I did not notice that.
That is Very Good ....
Is there anything to do with that?
You must install on your pc Gordon's gate flash driver and after reebot your pc.Then pcc and flashtool will recognize it.
nope Gordon's gate flash driver do not work either.
Everything was working fine, until I accidently flashed X10 kernel.
Now, It not even react when I connect phone to PC.
I am worried that X10 kernel had sets some higger voltages , or something else what ruined some hardware.
does the phone not turn on or it just stays at se logo? If the phone wont turn on you have a dead boot and this must be repaired using Jtag.

nope. i have flashed X10 kernels sometimes.. it does nothing. a simple reflash works. if it does not detect them i reboot pc or reinstall drivers
Phone do not turn on.
I tried restarting PC, and reinstaling drivers, but I think that shoud not be problem, when I worked before.

I just get my phone X8 from repair service, where they repair it with JTAG and load new original ROM (Firmware).
And If I indentify phone in S1Tool I get NOT RECOGNIZED SIMLOCK certificate.
But before repair SIMLOCK was recognized. And manufactured date on phone is 11W11.
Can I proceed with Bootunlock ? Or is there anything to do to get again simlock certificate recognized?
There is a screen from S1Tool

The advice to fix your problem by mad marty is correct. The error is because that rom only works with xperia T unless you flash a TX patch. It is all explained in the thread, reading is a great thing.

You use pccompanion or flashtool. You do not even have to turn the phone on for those to work.

That's ok, just run the software update and choose the repair option when the update fails.
If that still does not work, then download flashtool from the very first post in the dev thread.
Install it.
run the drivers.exe file found in the installation path
choose flashmode, fastboot and TX drivers
then either
a) try pccomapanion again or
b) Flash a stock FTF file for the TX in flashtool

Keep volumm down and connect your phone to computer >> open PC companion >> click on Support Zone >> Click on Phone Software update >> Click Repair >> Wait till it done . Try it's . Good luck .
the best method is download SONY UPDATE SERVICE software to your pc. after installing update service, turnoff your mobile then press and hold the volume down key , and connect it with your pc. (even if your phone is not charged no problem ). release the volume down key when the on screen instruction says it. after that if the system says your phone has latest software, then select reinstall the software. wait until it finish. thats all.
dont do too more
just power off ur sp bu stick the reset button in the backcover,and power on,see what happen,take it easy and carefully

Restore the system. Use Sony PC Companion. And when you install, root and cwm.
Saludos.
EDIT:
When you install the drivers, it must be in usb debugging mode. Delete in windows system administration and connects to your pc othertime, but as you can't enter the system, you can't do it.
The restoration process is long. Pc Companion download the rom and then is installed. Make sure the phone has at least 30% battery (for internet download speed of 10mb), more is better. If you are in bootloop when you recharge or if you can't recharge, don't waste battery, located where is the option in PC Companion and when you have controlled, do it.
Good Luck.

Forget about PC Companion.
First totally disable PC Companion and then try with Flashtool again. I mean While using Flashtool PC Companion will b disabled in ur PC. Try it..
If u have C5302 Firmware means flash that.. Its very very easy bro. Dont know what happens with u .. try again the way i told
Guys problem solved
Did a factory reset and kept for charging for 1 hour
Fone restrtd automaticaly.
Thanks
To get it to C5302, just edit build.prop :wink:
hello guys . i have a xperia x8 e15i and i tried to install a custom rom. so it all went like this.
First i downlaoded gingerdx v.31 then rooted my phone,installed busybox,installed xrecovery,put gingerdx in my sd card,booted my phone into xrecovery made a backup of my rom cleared my cache installed gingerdx and hit reboot.
now my phone just stays on the SE logo and cant get into xrecovery. every time i put in the battery it just keeps on going into the SE logo and doesnt do anything.
I was thinking maybe i forgot to unlock bootloader but i cant really fix that now. all im thinking is how to get it back.
any suggestions ?
It's just a soft brick. You can repair it using pcc or simply flash stock rom via flashtool.
It's a soft brick. I have encountered it aswell. If you have PC companion you can install the Stock Eclair 2.1 back or flash it via Flashtool

thanks but i have tried to do it with pc companoin which wont let me cause it tells me to turn my phone on which i cant and when i try flash it with flash tool i cant find the right firmware :I
No dude. Just click on the support zone and some option will say Repair device or Upgrade software( I am not sure .. cant remember , you'll find it ) after that it will Download the Eclair 2.1 automatically and when it is downloaded it will ask you to hold some button and while holding that button ( I think its the back button ) connect the usb cable to your phone! your phone will show a green light and after that leave the job on the PC companion
solution
@dansei12
Nothing to worry, its just a soft brick , easy to fix.
You just need SONY PC COMPANION and your device with data cable.
Follow the steps in screenshot.
After the third step just follow instruction [SONY will show you the way ] .. and it will be done.
NOTE:- You will return back to stock without SU. !
Just a soft brick..
experienced the exat issue..
just use Sony Update service.. .
easiest to remove your soft brick!

You can use Sony Update Service, you are right it's different !
Download here
SEUS works even when the phone won't boot...
You just need to find xperia x8 from listed mobiles, and follow instructions.. easy
Good luck

i already replied to this prob.. see reply #6 .

This phone won't boot so PC companion will not be able to repair it !
Only Sony update service is able to repair the phone in flash mode
Many XDA users talk about SEUS and PC companion like if they were the same program...
P.S: if bootloader is unlocked, relock it by using RESTORE option in S1-tool or any soft you used to unlock it.
Relock the bootloader before using Sony Update Service

Are you serious? You don't know how to use pcc to unbrick a soft bricked phone then. Read up. Lots of guides showing just how to do it. And the update service is NOT the only tool to unbrick a phone. Please do a simple search about bricks first before you start giving answers and claim other users think pcc and seus is the same. You're only giving op false info.

I was just telling you that they are not the same software..
It happened to me during old soft bricks that PC companion sometimes won't do nothing through support zone => update
Ok Update Service is better (because it's different) and sorry for giving a fake info

I apologize for jumping on you mate.
Pcc can repair soft bricked phones although it's tricky for new users. In that aspect seus is better since it's simpler. Personally I prefer flashtool. I have stock rom and kernel on my pc just in case. I guess it's personal preference.
Thanks

Thank you. This was propably the one out of 2 comments that actually helped me.
Thanks phone up and running again.
I cant root it though. I dunno why. I restored it with SEUS and then updated firmware with pcc. Still cant root it.

How are you trying to root it? Can you give us a log? Someone can probably help you out if we can identify what's wrong.
