[Q]my X8 become a brick after i change the theme

hello everyone, i am a newbie. I root my X8 successfully.i want to change the theme. so, i replace the framework apk file in the system.After that, it becomes a brick. When i turn on the phone, it stops at the frame of ''Sony ericsson''. But i can go into xRecovery. What should i do? i want to use my X8 asap...

maybe u can reflash it via SEUS

ya...i have tried SEUS,i need to turn on to usb mode to connact the pc companion. But i can't turn on my phone. It is stop at the frame of ''Sony Ericsson'' text. I need to take off the battery to turn off the phone.(sorry my english is poor )... i think i should take my phone to the SE shop to repair...

If you can get to xRecovery, can you flash one of the Roms in the Development section. Things may not work, but at least you won't be bricked.
You could probably connect it to SEUS after

at first, try "fix permissions" in xRecovery
if it won't help, just restore firmware via SEUS

You didn't bricked it man... Brick is when you cannot use any home-tools like xRecovery, SEUS, whatever...
Now if you have backup just restore it, if you not have - flash it with X10 flasher. Or use the guide to install the newest update.

SEUS is different in pc companion because u don't have to turn on your phone when using update service all u need is to put ur phone to flash mode

i solved the problem with SEUS,Thank You^_^

How are you trying to apply the theme? There is a trick to it.

I had a rooted , xRecovery, app2sd2.1 mod dalvik cache, . . .
rebooted and bricked
no recovery, no nothing past black screen ' Sony Ericsson' screen.
downloading Update service from SE, but FA will get me past this screen so-far
( removed sd=no joy)(usb to PCCompan=not found(as I cannot mount))(cannot find fail-safe key-presses to factory boot???)
?

Try to flash with a custom rom and then use SEUS.. It might work
Sent from my E15i using XDA App

Seus 2.11.1.9
I'm trying with the Downloaded standalone version, but have a problem.
after I select the X8, it tells me to hold back button, and plug in USB,
now windows finds a 'semc flash' device, but hangs there.
Something is severing the internet connection ( USB internet dongle )
at this point the PC is locked .

[Q] phone is stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo

I was using the flash tool to boot my phone in xRecovery but when it started turning on it got stuck at the Sony Ericsson logo. It's been there for about a day. I can't restore in PC companion as my phone needs to be on. What should i do?

Use SEUS or FlashTool to reinstall firmware

There are about 3 more topics about this... here is one answer...
If you want me to explane sth, ask it here

Remove the battery.
Open PC Companion or SEUS.
Select repair.
Put the battery.
Run the phone into flash mode ( press back then plug with usb cable ).
Phone detected, repaired.
Hope this help.

Just follow the step in this link, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11934117&postcount=7) Then everything will go gine...^^..Cheer!!

dp full wipe from xrecovery and install the rom again!

Accidentally deleted system file -> howto flash?

Hello everyone!
I really need some help on this one.
I accidentally deleted some important system files (like the usb-driver). Now it seems that I can't even connect with fastboot to my SE Arc devices.
Is there any solution on how I could flash a new image on my phone? The phone is not recognized anymore in the regular SE Software Suite. Currently the phone is functioning but I would like to update it to 2.3.3
Many thanks in advance for good advices!

Can no one help me? When I try to connect to the SE PC Companions tool and make a repair, the companion-tool refuses because my ROM is modified (rooted).
So this means that when a software tries to connect to the phone (via holding back-key+power on = green LED light) the software recognizes my phone... is there a way how I could use this (access-method) to manually flash the ROM?

Look for Flashtool on the x10 forum (and I think that there's a link on here somewhere.. ) then you can reflash the system to your phone)..

Hmm strange... all the soft-/hard-reset stuff didn't worked... but now I could flash it via the flashtool (had to press the back button... I normally always hit the menue-button... damn, my fault)
Thx anyway!

Menu button is for Fastboot mode.... Back button for flashing..

[Q] My Xperia Play bricked?! Need help T.T

Apologize that I am still a newbie, I don't know much about technical terms.
Yesterday, I flash my ARC via x10 Flasher to get the latest update with LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.tft. I finally got my ARC fully updated.
Today, I was mistakenly update my Xperia Play using LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.tft via X10Flasher also. However, I didn't notice or have known before that they're using separated FW and I accidentally use Arc's FW to Play...
The result that my Play got bricked??? The screen got only light and no SE logo appeared. The power button got red light on it.
I tried both SEUS and PC Companion to flash back to Original FW but It didn't help.
When I connected to PC Companion, the software informed that I connected LT15i, infact it must be R800i -.-*
Any method to recover my Xplay to Original FW?
R800i Asia I think
Please help I felt that I was so stupid that I did such a stupid thing...
T3T

I had nearly the same Problem. Maybe this might help, it helped for me.
1. FULLY CHARGE YOUR PHONE!!! I was told to remove battery for 30minutes, then put it back in but without sim card and withough SD Card. Then plug the charger back and charge for at least 5 hours!!!
2. Connect your Phone in Fastboot mode (blue light) by pressing the searchbutton before connecting.
3. Update your drivers with the provided Fastboot drivers of this forum
4. Do the steps of relocking your play through Fastboot
5. Try SE Update again with the Software
Ill keep my fingers crossed for you, I know how you re feeling...
