I got a X8 that has been bricked, but the phone still haven't reach me yet...
Last time i posted my topic here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688987
but i posted at a wrong section, sorry about that...
This is the info from the thread i posted at the wrong section
Code:
Hi all...
My friend sent his X8 to a phone shop to get it updated to android 2.3.7 and ended up with a bricked phone cause by that phone shop.
Now, which according to him stuck at the white "Sony Ericsson" logo...Which i know is a soft brick and most probably can be saved by flashing it with PCC or SEUS or FlashTool.
I have ask him to flash it with SEUS or FlashTool, but not successful, still stuck on the SE logo, i doesn't know weather he do it wrongly or does not has any patient...
I gonna buy this phone from my friend, and repair the phone myself.
I want to ask u guys is there any other reason for the phone to stuck at the SE logo other than bricked phone? Could it be a hardware prob?
8/6/2012 UPDATE:
Just now my fren turn on the X8, it stuck at the white "Sony Ericsson" text, and after a moment, the phone reboot itself and stuck at there again and reboot itself again and again...
guys, based on the latest update from my friend, can this phone be saved?
And do share some experience if u do encounter such prob...
9/6/2012 UPDATE:
This morning i trying to flash my phone again...
I flash it with android 1.6 stock ROM (1.3.A.0.62) and it would boot up normally...
I also try to update the phone from 1.3.A.0.62 to 2.1.1.A.0.6 by using PCC, but also remain the same...
Then i flash it with FlashToool using 2.1 stock ROM (2.1.1.A.0.6 and 2.1.1.C.0.0) it would ended up like this see the video below
My X8 with 2.1 stock rom:
What type of brick is this?
Thanks...
Cheers...
And have a nice day

I think it has, or might doesn't have, cause i dunno what that phone shop did to the phone.

Hmm...Can i install recovery that the phone that cannot boot?

UPDATE again:
Just now after flashing with SEUS, still stuck at the se logo and keep rebooting...
Update again...
This morning i was able to flash the phone with 1.3.A.0.62 stock firmware...
But one weird thing is i it state baseband as unknown...
but i still can receive sms and calls...
after that i flash it with 2.1.1.A.0.6 stock rom, and it stuck at the white SE logo and keep rebooting...
Help guys...
I dont really know bout the condition. Usually works with seus or flashtool. Maybe something has been changed, like kernel or/and baseband. Maybe u would need to flash stock kernel and baseband too. Try flashing them and hope it ll work.

Hmm...
The stock kernel and baseband comes together with the ftf file package right?
Where can i get the stock kernel and baseband?

try this X8_E15_2.1.1.C.0.0_generic.ftf.7z
Make sure your flashtool is at it's lastest version
Flashtool-0.6.9.1-windows.exe
Tips: Just double click the firmware during flashing operation and ignore second second windows that shows information about the .tft package & press ok

Hi there!
I installed a Chainfire program, and now my Xperia have a bootloop
How can I turn on my phone? Can I flash a recovery and wipe all data, and then flash back stock kernel?
Plz help mee!
Ok, so I flashed recovery, turn it on, wipe all data, and phone still have bootloop. I don't have any idea, what can I do to flash clean stock sony firmware
Sony Update Service doesn't work. It tell me, that I have modded firmware
relock your bootloader, then use sony update service again
Ok, so how can I relock bootloader, and can I unlock it after?
Dude no need for all that. Just download Flash tool and generic Xperia ftf file. Then switch off your cell phone and press the volume down key and insert the usb while on Flash tool it will install the adb drivers if not then navigate into the flash tool folder and then you'll find a folder named drivers install the drivers from that setup proceeding ahead you should see a green led light now click on the flash button above and select flash tool and navigate it to the ftf file you just downloaded. It will install the generic rom but will remove your root access. No need to lock the boot loader. Welcome if this helped and tell me if I'm wrong
Sent from my Xperia Live with Walkman using xda app-developers app
Damn working! Thanks!!!
BTW. Is there any website with ftf firmwares? Like samfirmwares for samsung devices?
AW: XPERIA Bootloop
No there is not.
Next time try EMMA if you want to reload your stock firmware. EMMA works with unlocked bootloaders (only).

I guess you've hard bricked your device and it's possible that you can't recover it...... You should've read BEFORE you flashed that rom, it clearly states that it is for UNLOCKED bootloader ONLY!!!
Anyways, is it possible to get into the recovery? Or doesn't even the sony logo show up?
If you can't get into recovery, try to flash a stock kernel via flashtool, but idk though if that's possible at your phone anymore
Yep, i know it was stupid.
Im not possible to get into the recovery.
The Sony Logo doesnt show up, but when i try to turn it on, it vibrates,like it normal does.
Ive already written that when i try to flash a kernal it says debugging is off.
(See the Flashtool log)

No you tried to flash the stock ftf file, I meant that you should try to flash the stock kernel. Simply extract it from the file, or search for it here on xda, I'm pretty sure it is somewhere
Which file?
And how do i flash stock kernal, please explain im really new in android.
Please give me some more advice
Try searching development forums, there are some ftf files that can be downloaded for you to try. Do not cross flash by the way, just a reminder, be sure its for your model.

Assuming that you are running windows.
1. Download android sdk to get fastboot and adb
2. Put your phone into the fastboot mode and install drivers. Your notification diod should be blue when connected to the PC.
3. Download stockkernel.zip from this post and extract it in the same folder as fastboot.exe is located.
4. Open command line in that folder.
5. Type: fastboot.exe flash boot kernel.sin.
6. Flash the ftf
This should fix it
Hi guys I seriously need help. I bricked my Z1 c6903. I accidentally deleted the OS by wiping dalvik, system, etc,. Im sorry if this was already posted somewhere here. Im new to this. If someone would kindly help me or give me help in unbricking my device Id really appreciate it.
PS, Z1 was given to me already rooted. It has TWRP recovery, and I know that Im really stupid for tinkering with the advanced option. Im new to using custom recovery, rooting, etc.

If you still have recovery , boot into recovery, mount usb and copy ROM from your PC.
Flash ROM and restart...
If you don't have recovery, use flashtool to flash ftf. (534) root it and then upgrade to 761 (latest firmware)
BTW, your device isn't bricked, there's missing system, that's all...
And yeah...that wasn't stupid at all...this things happens and, if you ask me- TWRP team should change that wipe options...
It's not well made...
First option should be only cache wipe and advanced should have format data and system option...

First of all, thanks for taking the time to reply.
I tried booting to recovery but it wont. Its stuck in the sony logo. I guess ill go with option 2(flashing ftf)
is it ok if I flash the ftf then NOT root it?
I found a guide how to flash an ftf file in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428319
is this guide applicable for the z1 too?
Thank you

You are welcome mate
Yeap...
One thing is very important - use latest flashtool..and everything will be OK.
You'll be surprised how easy that is...
Flash firmware 534 (JB)
Turn device off, open flashtool and prepare 534 firmware, start flashing and connect device (holding vol down) connect device when flashtool ask for it, don't do that right away...
root it with binary method (just Google" binary root method xda") first link is what you need.
Install NUT recovery.
Restart to recovery, flash NUT 757, TURN DEVICE OFF!!!
And flash stripped ftf (that's kernel)
It's very important to turn device off, don't restart. (to flash stripped ftf)
I always practice to hit flashtool "start" button and wait for flashtool to ask for device, that's is the best way to be 100% sure your device won't leave flashmod

well the firmware that ill be using is 257 because its branded on a carrier here on my country(PH).
do I really need to root after flashing? I was hoping that root isnt required.
is it ok if I just flash the 257 and update it via OTA/pc companion?
thank you

Well yeah...I just said that..
If you don't want to root then don't root it, just flash firmware.
I would flash latest firmware but if you are sure you'll get 757 or 761 OTA update then you can flash older firmware...

come to think of it. it sounds easy. just download the ftf then flash using flashtool.
btw. will it cause any problems if the phone has a custom recovery(twrp)?
thank you
If you do not want root just use pccompanion and choose repair my phone when the options comes up.
1 step fix!

Man, I asked you do you still have recovery and you said no?!?
Use recovery to flash stock based ROMs like NUT or iHackers, flashtool or pc companion to flash stock unrooted firmware.
It won'tbe a problem if you have twrp (recovery), it'll wipe everything...
We are talking for a two hours and you are asking same question over and over again...
I wanna help but come on....
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
It doesn't have to
Turn the phone off, do not attach it to the PC
Run pccompanion, choose software update
When prompted choose the blue option to repair the phone, go through the instructions and attach phone in flashmode when prompted

Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
To better assist you, your thread will be moved to your device Q&A forum. The experts there may be able to help you. Good luck.
You must flash full stock ftf file.
Flashtool says you must be rooted because you dont have your bootloader unlocked!
