repair phone with SEUS http://sony-ericsson-update-service.en.uptodown.com/
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011071

when getting sony ericsson logo try pressing back button a few times so you will get into Xrecovery/CWM mode. from there you can flash any ROM you want with the condition of having it on your SD card.

Use PCC
I had flashed an incompatible ROM on my device , and I had the same problem (I dont remember the name of the ROM)
I used PCC. It worked for me. I didnt need SEUS.
Prefer PCC

Thanks!
Thank you so much!
SEUS is da best.

You want to flash the baseband on LOCKED boot loader?
That will never work.
Since it seems your boot loader is still locked you only need to flash the Stock ROM.
EDIT: By the way, that's also the root of your problem.
MiniCM7 requires you to...
- Unlock the boot loader (ONLY if your phone is SAFE for doing so!!!)
- Flash nAa's kernel
- Flash MiniCM7
But then, why the hell do I repeat again what's actually written in the OP post of MiniCM7 and you failed to read?

[Q] HELP:: Forgot to unlock bootloader and now stuck ??

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 !

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

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 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.

[Q] Xperia Z1 bricked : qhsusb_bulk ?

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.

I have the same problem like yours no vibration no led blinking or something i even removed the battery tryed to charge it over 24 hours nothing to get it back to life so we have a hardbricked phone now thanks to 4.3 update and for now the only solution is to change the mainboard or first to chek it with a fully charged battery (new one)

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

Sucess for us all! and have a good day all!

I think you're not flashing the correct file, and that's why you are getting that error message in Flashtool:
Go to this thread and download a C6943 14.3.A.0.757 firmware and flash it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
Honestly, I don't think it has anything to do with the software, since the phone doesn't even boot into OS. But you can always try flashing the firmware first. If it still doesn't work, you'll have to send it back to the store.

[Q] Hard bricked?

Hi,
I had unlocked my bootloader a few months ago to root the phone. I had taken a backup of the TA partition.
Today I locked my bootloader, and restored the backup of the TA partition I had made.
It doesn't turn on anymore. When I plug it in to charge, the led keeps flashing red.
When I plug it into my computer, its detected in flashmode. Sony PC Companian recognizances the phone.
I have tried flashing the stock Sony ROM using the Flashtool, but i always get an error.

My battery was 100% charged when restored the TA partition.
Thanks for any help.

Did you have a original kernel on your phone then you locked the bootloader?

dial *#*#7378423#*#* on phone. service menu will open. go to service tests and scroll down to security.
there you will see 9 keys with key OK active written in bracket. if all keys are ok n active then relocking was successful otherwise not.
Also these keys are unique to each phone so you cant get those anywhere.

Make sure the drivers are installed correctly and working.
Check the device manager so that you dont have the yellow exclamation mark on it.
If all is ok there, maybe the phone dont start into flashmode correctly.
Have tried to hold volume down while connecting the usb?

Check if the bootloader is actually locked; press the bootloader button in Flashtool, it'll say unlock if it's currently locked (as you know). Either way, try flashing just the kernel: a .img through fastboot if bootloader is still unlocked, or a kernel FTF from the forum if it's locked. Make sure the cable has no loose contact - unlikely that this is the culprit, but it doesn't hurt to be sure. From what I understand, messing up the TA partition would render your phone completely unbootable, fastboot/flashmode included, so it doesn't look like that's the case. However, this is the first time I'm seeing a device "not recognize" a command so...
To summarize: probably not hard-bricked, but no idea if it's fixable. Be prepared to visit the service center. This is all I could think of. Good luck.

So I took my phone to the Sony Service Center. They say that they'll fix it within 10 days, and the estimated cost is RS. 0; but they'll give me exact details tomorrow.

So how did it go, did they fix your phone free of charge?

Ok. I think it is advised on Flashtool page on xda that for all Z series phone, we should use version 9.13 because of some bootbundle files in the firmware. u can give it a try or buy new z2 or z3

It still doesn't work.
It gives the same errors.

Hello, can you fix your problem? Well, I have the same problem with my xperia ZR but I could flash my device by removing the battery then keeping pressing the "volume down" (until the end of the process) and connecting the USB, try and tell me how it went.
