this sounds illegal !
but who cares
+ flashing uncompatible firmware or kernel can do this. (for example flash kernel of s4!!!)
BUT is thr anyway to know u were unlocked or not...
if i be instead of ur region service center i wouldn't accept ur phone cause first step of doing something with android is unlocking + rooting ! but this becomes a scenario; now service should think u were stupid (sorry) and didn't have any knowledge and f*up ur phone and ..................................
btw there might be way to know it for example ur phone logs on sony servers or any other servers that they can check it!
(one good thing is almost centers don give sh* with these and will replace ur phone!)
:good:

Thanks guys.. I hope it will help people to get there phone replaced.. Ofcourse it will be a wrong way.. But its okey..

Try to flash a kernel, but immediately disconnect the USB cable

Take a 6 inch nail and a hammer, place the spikey end of the nail on the screen and hit the other end reasonably hard with the hammer. Boom...instant hard brick.

this??

Yes! ..but you miss a best part. It's not covered by Warranty! ..hahah...

Well yes i knw.. But the question itself to be self understood that its been asked about how can v find loopholes in warranty if some f***up is done.. Also only for knowledge.. Who gives a **** about warranty .. My Z1 is already 5 month old just have to take care till 12 months after that warranty has nothing to do

look like very2 scared!!
don't panic!
just use SEUS
1-update using SonyEricsson Update Service
2-click update and follow the simple step
(when u see "your phone software is updated") just click install
please reply
yep, you can use seus. if you fix it and root it again, please try not to unlock your bootloader again please.lol
P.S if you think you could, could you tell me why did you try to unlock your bootloader. was it because of the modules you could add on?
SEUS is not available form long time
Use PC Companion
Why did SEUS disappear?

sorry bro late to reply....i cant do it because my phone totally not function...LED also not blink...and usb can't detect anymore...i have use W8 and i unlocked using x8 method...is it the cause for my problem??
I´ve heard of people unlocking the bootloader on their W8 without any brick, only the kernels didn´t work.
By the way:
Have you ever heard of the "search-function", because with this function, you´l find this if you search for "unbrick".
You probably have new security phone, so unlock method is outdated for your phone.
So what he need to do ?

is there any telltale info that could indicate the phone has new security feature? I think it would be helpful for a lot of owners to know before they find out too late.
maybe year of fabrication?

Most likely they can fix your phone ... one would at least assume that a Sony Ericsson service center has some means to restore shot devices through a JTAG interface or by directly wiretapping the NAND and re-writing its contents.
Though - better ask them to call you back in case the repair would become too costly (i.e. the service center would replace the components boards instead of just restoring the NAND of the device)

please help me how to fix this..
regrats,
(sorry for my bad english)
Why did you even try? You read the warnings. Try to plug the charger and wait a few minutes and cross your fingers.
If that doesn't work, i hope your warranty is still in effect because you need to send it to sony.
No warranty anymore? Hopefully you're good with electronics. Find a guide here on xda and try to unbrick it with ressurection cables.
That's it. I hope you have warranty though.

Just send it to Sony. If they ask you what have you done, just say that you were updating the software with PC Companion and when it finished, you couldn't turn it on.

Unlock bootloder w8 11-29+

If handset is in warranty, can i take the risk of unlocking bootloder?
Is sony Ericsson service center repaired it for me under warranty agreements ?
Hope for postive.......
Officially corp via W8
Well, if you hardbrick your phone, there will be no way how o determine what have you done to it. You can try it, if it gets bricked, go to Sony service centre and tell them that you were updating your phone with PC Companion and after update you couldn't turn it on. They will change your motherboard and if you're lucky, you will get one made before 11w29 (but most probably you'l get 11w29+).
Do it at your own risk. I'm not responsible if you try it, hardbrick your phone and Sony won't accept your warranty.
AFAIK some people have already tried this and Sony changed their motherboards.
if you try you will get hard brick,but if you still insist,then try......
when you go to the shop to ask to repair your phone dont tell them what you did,just play dumb....
Warranty will void if i unlock the bootloder,but at the process of unlocking bootloder if i not succeeded is it deemed to be unlock bootloder and gone from warranty??
How sony Ericsson service centers found that i tried for unlocking it's bootloder?
Pls give your valuable options
Officially corp via W8
yeah..cz it was write on your warranty paper
that SE didn't repair phone cz software update or something else that made from your self..
just like noob and tell them if your phone couldn't turn on (if failed on unlocking)
hope u can unlock it!
I have already update my w8 two times from service center on softbrick. Is this matter or not for sony Ericsson as my handset records?

As u wish bro but it is risky
After 11w29 don't try
If u want u can try paid method

if I helped press thanks :thumbup:
op: check the date once you get the phone back. afaik sony changes the board when you send a hard bricked phone back. hopefully you'll get one BELOW 11W29.

[Q] Hard brick X8 (wrong kernel, broken during flashing)

I have flashed wrong kernel (X10_V1_BLRelock) on my sony ericsson X8.
No signs of life after that one.
I have been reading posts on forum but still havent found some solution.
I will try and find some service shop to repair it but till that time if anybody has any suggestions i would be thankful.
1.if your X8 still under warranty and you can make some noise with it!
don't go else where! go to the mobile shop that you bought your X8 and make some drama
that your X8 suddenly went off and don't know the reason why it happen.
go with the warranty card, after that they will send the X8 to Sony and sometimes take a month get
back your phone.
2.if your X8 warranty expired just go to the mobile shop where you buy it and give it to them
and make them fix it. it cost you and in some case you maybe need to reveal what you do the X8
in my experience i did the first one and it works like charm.
Note:whatever reason you can put and it need to be strong one.
sorry for my bad english.

You may have to use JTAG to repair your phone or just send it to SONY. There is no possible way of reviving it other than that. In the time being just use some other phone lying around your house.
2 threads are here by mistake. i send msg to moderator and he said he deleted the old one but somehow it is still there...
Phone is not under a warranty so I will have to look for a shop. I'm still searching all possible options but exams in the next days will prevent me from serious research that's why i posted a question...
Well you have 2 or 3 options
1.Send it to Sony and pay them to repair it
2.Use aze2learn method...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27942435&postcount=205
3.Buy or find someone with Riffbox/Jtagbox
Can you get into fastboot mode? If not, you must take it to repair.

You are in the wrong forum. This forum is for the xperia x8.
Ask your question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-zr/help
You are just soft-bricked...find the stock rom and flash it via Flashtool...!!!
