I was installing xRecovery on my Xperia X8.I was testing the xRecovery to see if it works or not.But my phone stucks at Sony Ericsson. Any solution to unbrick my phone?Flash mode still works and phone still vibrarate.
Hi there,
So, i assume that you have a working flashtool & driver.
Download this X8_E15_2.1.1.C.0.0_generic.ftf.7z and put it in firmware folder of your flashtool.
Enter flashmode and flash X8_E15_2.1.1.C.0.0_generic.ftf.7z to your phone.
Note: Your phone will restore to Eclair 2.1update1 during this process has finished

First of all, this is not a love advice forum, so the title "I'm So Pissed Off" is unfitting.
You need to summarise the content of your thread in the title, not share your feeling with us.
Secondly, have you performed a Search in the Q&A section?
Because I used the keyword "brick" and 14 pages of results came up.
So there are many members that were in your shoes at some point.
You should benefit from their threads instead of opening a new one.

Hi,
First congrats on a great community! I have returned here for help many times over teh years and just got to thank you all for creating such an invaluable product!
Secondly, i have some problems after trying to root my xperia z...
I rooted using this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsh51O1ImMM
Using these tools (from vid description)
Link 1: Sony Xperia Drivers
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9...
Link 2: Easy Rooting Toolkit
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attac...
Link 3: Clockworkmod Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showt...
So I didnt use one of your walkthroughs (sadly) as such, but tools come from here.
So I did everything that this guy suggested (i think) and then decided to flash this rom
Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2
from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207
and followed instructions on aroma (i think)
And now i am left with my device showing teh sony logo only.
I cant seem to boot into cwm again. In fact when i attach to my pc, i get teh connected sound, but pc companion doesnt see my device.
I have tried all manner of holding up key and power key for many different times, but still it just stays on sony logo.
If you need any more info please do let me know, and thank you for your help in advance.
Hopefully my xperia z is not bricked?

PS if this has been answerted i cant seem to find it (i have tried some of teh similar q&a's that been posted around here) but am willing to be directed to somewhere i havent found yet

way ahead of you
im wading my way through as i type (well sort of), and have started to do teh first step of teh recovering xperia z/zl (teh one i asked if i should do) and just waiting for it to install now.
Hoping this works, and thanks again
(I will try not to decide to root new devices at 2am in teh morning in future as i guess my eyes closing by themselves and my brain switching off has had something to do with my errors lol :,( )
currently tried sus twice to no avail...
It may be due to my battery being low-although this is a guess as i have no way of telling how my battery levels are! I know it has been hooked up to teh charger for a couple of hours and that is usually more than enough, but when plugged in (from device being off (forced off by holding up and power for 7 seconds and releasing after it has vibrated 3 times) and from device being on (showing sony logo and a dull red led) ) it doesnt show teh usual battery charging icon..?
Could this be teh problem?
I am going to go ahead with second option (flashtool) in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229250 if no one has any reservations??
is flashtool safe to use for me? I think my bootloader is still locked (tutorial i used says so)
thanks
Download flashtool and then one of the stock roms on offer in the forum. Should flash no problems.
Reading previous posts....I take it you realise that the ultimate hd is not for the Z?

Have a little read... You download 2 files.... The first you flash in flashtool.
Once done you have a recovery installed.
You put the second downloaded file onto your phone. From the recovery you install the second downloaded file.
Once done you will have latest Rom, recovery installed and it will also be rooted.
Take your time reading guide.
Another question, have you installed the driver files for the Z?

http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/
ok...
will try this other one
another 40 minutes to wait for it to download sigh*
and trust me i have been reading for hours lastnight this morning and today, it seems everyone has different ways to do this and they are all sort of merging together and full of words i dont totally understand. Add to this my kids running around and wife moaning that im 'stuck to teh computer on a sunday' and its getting confusing.
Im sorry, and thankfull for your help
also, will this definitly work even though my phone doesnt show as 'charging' when plugged into mains,
and only showing teh sony logo?
my wife is going to have a cow if im still at it tonight :/ lol
and i dont even know what firmware i am using now, or any of these numbers i keep hearing or reading, so it makes my reading near impossible

no, not able to do anything except
-hold up and power until phone vibrates once -then it displays sony logo and dull red led, and nothing else
-hold up and power until vibrates once then 3 more times- this turns device off
-sit looking at teh sony logo remmebering what my device used to be capable of ;/
Oh and also, while plugged into teh mains teh sony logo continuously appears and disapears
5 minutes until flashloader is downloaded....
What a mess... Don't bother with the other download if you have no recovery then...
Go here
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B57s5hXpS4BkVTJUblhxZ2h1ckU/preview?pli=1
Download that and flash. Nothing more to it.

The reason your Phone isn't working is because the Rom you installed is for the xperia arc, as well as being an ICS Rom. All in all your phone has no chance!

Answers to your questions:
I cannot boot my phone, no lights, no vibration etc.
My computer does recognize it as QHSUSB DLOAD
No, i cannot get access to fastboot/flashmode/recovery.
And no, i do not know why my phone ended up like it did. I was playing a game one time and it never booted again.
What I intend to do.
1. I'm going to try and boot from the sdcard.
2. If 1. fails i'm going to try and use QPST to get the phone going again.
3. If 1. and 2. fail, i'm bringing out the baseball bat. :laugh:
Unfortunately, I have the same problem So far I have not found any solution
this is Xperia ZR forum. ask moderator to move your question to proper section

Hello. I have Sony Xperia T lt30p. Some time ago I decided to try to obtain some new version of Android in my phone. Since Sony no longer provide updates to my phone I have to do it by my self. I tried to study what needs to be done and try not to hurry things but there are still some major setback I cannot overcome. I am able to atleast Root my device but I unable to get further. Next step on my list is to unlock my bootloader. I check that my phone is unlockable but I stragle with part where I should connect my phone in fastboot mode and update drivers in my computer. For some reason my phone appears in Device manager just for few seconds and thus I am unable to upgrade drivers. I tried to click on update and choose where my drivers are stored, than my phone disapear from device manager but I keep that window open, then disconnect my device, connect again and click next but updating will fail again. I tried to Google it but I find only one post about this problem and the person solved it.by method I just described. Can someone please help me? I would like to use this thread as solver of my problems to get to higher android version. I hope I will be able to close this post soon
Thank you for your help.
I've had problems with that too, just do thisand repeat the process agin
Also read this guide about unlocking xperia bootloader
Thank you, it worked! Only diffence is that after using method from your first link I instaled this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830
and then unlocked my bootloader. Great!
I now have my phone rooted and unlocked.
Next step is to install custom recovery and then some custom ROM.
Do you have any advice guys? What kind of custom ROM would you suggest me? I have Sony Xperia T lt30p with android 4.3.
Just simply 4.3? Or 5.1.1? And why? And do you know any good guide?
Thank you very much
