[Q] Help! I think i bricked my x8

Hey guys, sorry if I write bad.
I tried to flash my x8 for put in the rom GingerDX v31b. Anyways... I think my USB cable was broken or something, when I tried to flash baseband 015, it was flashed but then I power on my phone and... Boom! That image appeared: a triangle with a exclamation sign and a phone .
It reboots again and again, my computer doesn't recognize the phone. I need help guys. Sorry for bad writing.
On the other hand.. I have my phone with unlocked bootloader, and I installed so much roms. Any question? sorry if I forgot something. Thank you guys and sorry again if I put the thread in the wrong place.

Look under your battery inside the phone. There is a number like 10W34 or 11W10
What is your number?

1.turn of the device
2.open pc companion

Ok you flash something but WHAT?
All i know that you have 11W16 and you can't hard brick that(unless you are really..... )
Anyway let's help you out
First of all,how many % did your battery have before flashing?
If under 10% then try to connect the charger
if it done't help keep reading
What did you do with flashtool--->FLASHING or UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER?
If FLASHING: What did you flash,please write down name of file
If UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER:
Try to turn on you phone--->If it won't turn on---->try to connect it to PC in flashmode so FLASHTOOL can recognize it
If FLASHTOOL can't recognize it try with PCC.....if that doesn't work either see does your phone have any Signs of life
If you'r phone is completly dead(no sign of life) than it's probably a HARD BRICK
I hope i helped :good:

big THANKS

First of all THANKS A LOT for your effort, I mean: really THANKS!!!
So let me tell you a story
It was my forth x8 phone that I've tried to install CM9 on and previously it went very well but yesterday I've did it in a hurry and forget to change the flash file on the flash tool and when I click on the magic button with the flash sign I've realized that the x8 was flashed with x10 firmware the default firmware on the flashtool program (really stupid mistake ). After that the phone turn off and went on haven.
After I cold my head and start to search for new x8 (to replace the broken one) I've realized that the phone has 24 month warranty and the first thing that I did this morning was to return the phone to the shop that was bot from.
I hope that some of you out there had 5 min lol session from my experience in the story, and please, If somebody else thinks that he knows how to do it without reading the manual - this are the consequences!!!
The only way to bring this phone alive is with riff jtag box that I didn't have.
P.S. **** happens

Yes a few people from forum flashed wrong firmware and got hard bricked....amm it's hard brick so they will replace your motherboard
I am glad to help

BootLoop and now Nothing

Hay guys
Heres the deal
I used flashtool 0.9.13.0 and flashed the UK .244 C6603 on my Xperia Z
Then using the method in Excelsus_Z_V5.5.7 to change the kernel to the .423
After words I used the Root tool DoomLord Ver18 to root the device and then the TWRP till now all is GOOD
When I flashed the ROM the Recovery gave an error mid way through the setup
So when I restarted the device I got stuck
Now I have the Sony logo all the time
I can't even go to flash mode to reFlash a stock TFT

vul up + power will restart your phone, keep it pressed both for more than 10 sec and it will shutdown your phone hardwarely! then you can go to flashmode, fastboot and etc.

I'm not sure if you doing this the right way,
1. you must hold down the vul down
2. and then connect the USB!
3. make sure your drivers are installed and your pc find your phone!

[Q] Rare Case - Red LED always on while screen is on

Alright. My brother bought a used Xperia Z about 2 weeks ago. After using it some days, suddenly this happened. The red LED always stays on while the screen is on. And this is a rare problem. I don't see any problems like this before in XDA. The phone is not rooted nor the bootloader has been unlocked. Can someone help fix this problem, or tell me what partition is damaged, etc? I can't confirm this is a HW damage coz it's not dropped, or punched, etc The red LED acts normally if the screen is off (e.g. while charging, notification, etc).

plug it into the wall and leave it on charge overnight, don't touch it. Try connecting in the morning, should work.

UB is usually easier to recover cause you can fastboot any custom kernel to recover the phone.

Same issue with mine, tried all and nothing worked. Finally gave it to sony center and told that while upgrading to LP this happened. They replaced pcb , back panel etc and gave an almost new phone for free bcoz it was in warranty.

Your device is corrupt It can't be trusted and will not boot please help

Do a software repair using Xperia Companion on a computer. Alternatively, you can do a full wipe using Flashtool or newflasher.

Different from the OP, but I'm facing the same issue.... Trying to flash the XQ-AT51 firmware on XQ-AT52. Tried to use flashtool on one computer got a "bundle does not match connected device error". Tried a different computer using newflasher. First I followed some instructions involving removing the .ta files, flashed. That's when I first got the boot loop and corrupt screen. Then I downloaded the firmware again and left everything in the folder except "persist_X-FLASH-ALL-2389.sin" and got the same result.
Tried a different cable. Xperia Companion just says the device is locked. So does Emma. Just stuck. ?

Why don't you download XQ-AT52 Firmware instead of XQ-AT51 ,
and flash it using newflasher ?
Here is the guide for newflasher just to double check. w w w.xperiablog.net/2018/01/28/newflasher-guide-to-install-new-firmware-for-xperia-xz-premium-xz1-and-more/

Okay I was able to repair it using the Xperia Companion....
I didn't realized that I needed to start the repair before the phone was plugged in. ?
---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------
And in case anyone else is in the same situation. I re-flash the device with the AT51 firmware and everything worked fine. I'm now using the US firmware on the international AT52 version of the device.
After the repair through Xperia Companion. I just re-ran the same thing as last time (with all the .ta files without the persist file) after setting up the device and turning on USB debugging again. However this time I didn't get a prompt halfway through about flashing the persist partition.
Now everything works on the US firmware. Not sure why. This is literally my fist Android device so I know very little about all this. Just glad to have a working phone again. ?

anyone can help me

i have the same problem...

Anybody figure out why Xperia Companion fails as shown in pic above? My battery is charged too so not sure why it says needs to charge battery in Xperia Companion.

I'm also getting that error message as shown above in post # 11 when trying to repair via the Xperia Companion. Any help would be great!

Me too, having the same problem with my Xperia 1 SOV-40.

I had the same problem with my Xperia 5 ii after I re-locked the bootloader using fastboot (fastboot oem lock).
I could fix the problem with Xperia Companion. Here is what I did [maybe labels are not exactly correct, my interface is in german]:
Pre-requisites:
I did not use the original Sony USB cable, but a third party cable from Anker, also worked
Disconnect device from computer
Steps to fix:
Install and start Xperia Companion
Click "software repair"
On the bottom click "My device is not detected or is a Smartwatch 3"
Choose your device, click "Xperia smartphone or tablet"
Follow steps on the screen:
Disconnect and power off device (should already be)
Press and hold volume down
Connect device via USB cable, still hold volume down, the notification LED will turn green
Repair starts
Wait about 10 to 20 minutes until repair is finished
Screen will stay black and notification LED will stay green during the whole procedure
After these steps, Xperia Companion showed a success message and my device turned off. I disconnected the cable and started it (press and hold power button for about 1 second). The device first only turned on the notification LED in green, screen stayed black. After about 5 to 10 seconds, the device turned off again. I started it again (press and hold power button for about 1 second) until it vibrates, and it started normally.
Of course the device was reset and all data was wiped. For me this was no problem, as I anyway resetted it before.
Hope that helps

A few hours ago I suffered this, the problem with cable! I tormented 10 hours to look for other solutions to put the "ROM", being the official version (emma flasher) does not work! But it didn't work because of the cable (it was a "Baseus" cable, it was ok, but I think it was too long, 3 meters: D .
