[Q] xperia x8 bricked (searched and tried lots of things and nothing worked)

---

Hello,

I've been trying all day to unbrick my xperia x8 phone with no success.

This is what succeded:

1) I changed the lcd

2) tried a hard reset with no success

3) tried to update with sony ericsson update software several times, trying different things each time.

4) tried all kinds of different solutions posted on these forums.

These are the problems I'm finding at the moment.

1) When I try to turn the phone on, it blinks between light black and nothing, slowly. No led turns on.

2) I can't mange the phone memory stick files when connected through usb

3) when i take off the battery and plug it usb or to the plug, i see the orange light, indicating that it's charging. But when I try to turn it on, the light never comes up again until I remove the batery again.

4) The only way I updated the phone via sony ericsson software, while holding the c button to detect the phone. But other software can't detect the phone, and the green light goes out very quickly. (unless using sony ericsson update software).

I can't find a solution for this. Would greatly appreciate some help. Thankyou.

If you had searched this forum, you would have found this. Good luck.

Thank you for your reply.

I had tried that before, and tried it again. I still have the same problem.

The Update Service Version i used was the one recommended at Sony Ericsson Support Center website. 2.11.1.9

Any other suggestion?

Thanks in advance

If you used PC companion then I recommend trying the Sony Ericsson Update service. If you already tried that then, try the PC companion. If you tried both and they are not working, then use the flash tool.

Thankyou,

Yes I have tried both.

The flash tool is at sony ericsson's support center?

Flash tool is on this forum,search a little bit.

Ok, I just flashed it using the software version 2.3.

And I'm still in the same scenario.

I do have some questions though.

Should I flash it with the micro sd in?
After flashing it using the software, should it be ready to run?

I flashed the phone using android 1.6.

Thank you.

You flashed versioon 2.3??? From which phone?

Maybe your new LCD is damaged and it can't show anything..

@Tobi@s
I believe is a typing error lol

Sorry, it was indeed.

What I meant was, I flashed the phone using the Flashtool version 0.2.3.
