a) Check the manufacturing date (sticker below the battery) and then search this Q&A board to make sure your phone isn't too new - you'll find several threads with a warning about phones out of 11W29 and onwards being candidates for a hard brick due to hardware changes. You can NOT revive the phone yourself - you need to send it in for repair and they will most likely change the motherboard! You've been warned to think at least twice!
b) There are several people who unlocked the boot loader while having GingerDX installed through the manual method. Safest way, or course, is to flash back to Stock and unlock from there.

Unlockin bootloader with date above 11W29???
Hey guys I tried unlocking the bootloader on my x8 the manufacturing date was 11W39 so as you can guess I got THE Hardest Brick. Then i took the phone to my mobile operator, told them that it was switched off when i plugged it for charging and that when it said battery full it would not start. And it worked!!! They replaced my motherboard for free I guess the warranty was still valid apparently xD. So, I came home installed GingerDX right away but i really want to port ICS 3.0 on my x8 and i would really appreciate if someone had any ideas how to unlock the bootloader on a motherboard 12W and something above. I've read that a couple of guys managed to do it, so anyone pls help before i go and cash out 400 euros on the HTC One X.
Thanks.

Well, if with 11w39 you got hard brick, you will also hard brick your phone again because the motherboard is even newer. It's better to not try it. You have very very few chances to unlock bootloader with 12w and above!

Successfully UNLOCKED Xperia X8 11W35 just hour ago!
I was scared with all disccussions here but I wanted to try, however it could finish.
I had followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
I am not encourageing anyone to do so, but it is good to know that 11W29 is not the limit, maybe it is 11W35?
Or maybe it has something with guidance? For me, guides by SpiderX were succsessfull.

[SOLVED] - [HELP] Hard bricked my X8

hello all,
today i tried to unlock bootloader of my W8 (X8) 11W44
i used this thread to get help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1549696
s1tool said SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE so i tried to go on and use mssm7227_semc.cmd....all worked fine.
then my phone booted successfully into my rom (i was using GingerElite)
i rebooted it again to use s1tool and test it
but after that my phone was lifeless, no LED, no vibration,no recovery, no flash mode working(so i cannot use flashtool at all) and no SE Logo! :crying:
some1 pls help me to resurrect my phone please. pls don't give links of threads as i tried and research a lot already...
so what should i do now? i need help...
----------------
NOW: its back from repair now..and the bl changed to 11W33....but idk if its unlocked
you should be more careful(you can read everywhere"dont try to unlock your booloader if it is 11w29+")
the only thing you can do is:if your warranty isnt expired to sent the phone to se for repair,or buy another phone....

Oh, bro...wait...
U said that u successfully unlocked?
And this occurred when u try to check the bootloader status...right?
Seems like u got a hard-brick bro. Charge your battery via a external charger and try to on phone again. If it won't, then u need to send ur X8 to SE or a repair Shop.
Good Luck
Thanks all for the advice!

First of all.....thank u all for giving me good advice on it
First of all, my phone is under warranty. :good:
Secondly, bandarigoda123 my phone booted up successfully after the process but then i powered it off again to use flash mode to detect my bootloader status. FROM THEN ON my phone died and is'nt working, tried charging up battery for 4 hours but nothing comes up, no life
`````````` I am looking further to get it repaired from SE as its under warranty but i fear that its already voided because i rooted my phone :crying:

bricked for ever? :(

Hi guys!
You are the only one that could help me....
A friend of mine has a G Note N7000 (white) and he wants to selll it...but....
He said that is bricked (not starting) after he tried to downgrade it from ICS to Android 2 Gingerbread....
is this gone for ever? it can be unbricked?
thank you!
please help me....i want this phone.....
Well there is alot of info about bricked notes so I advice you to do some xda searching as there are several ways to revive a bricked note. Use the search function and you'll find what you need. I would advice you to check Dr.Ketan's signature for some helpfull links. Ask your friend if he did a FULL WIPE when reverting from ICS to GB,that could be the 'source' of the brick.
So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.
my friend told me that when he tried to downgrade it, the bootloader was broken....

well it depends... if he downgraded to GB and then wiped... it should be ok.. if on ICS and was on a safe kernel and wiped .. should be ok...
u need to get more info from him as to what exactly is the problem...
does the phone switch on...
is the download mode on the phone accessible
is the pc recognizing the phone when connected thru odin
he said that the phone is not switching on after full wipe....
ok the phone doesnot on...
but does it have access to download mode ? it is different from normally switching on (vol dwm+pwr+home)
latest news....
i took my Note to a service and they said that the phone is connecting to JTAG software, all is good, but cannot write (or something)....
what i wrong?

No you can't, you have hard brick it. Send it to the repair shop.
another user Hard bricked!
only way is throw it to Sony to repair it.i think its free if its under warranty.
What you did was a bit silly cause you had 50 % or lower posibility for you to unlock it... Now what you can do is only as the other guys said go to a store (possibly where you bought it) and tell em to fix it or throw it away and buy a new one
I'm taking the risk (11w38)

Hello
This is almost an UN brickable device. There are several ROMs make nvflash and recover.
Read my thread in the dev section.
Does your device continue after this ?

In fact I've just had an o2x in for repair, same state, so if anyone knows how to fix the bootloader,because that's the fault. Using LG repair by imei it's stuck at 4 percent. Thanks
Don't press thanks if you're not thankful.....
