Got a bricked X2, please help.

Ok, so i got fed up with my phone freezing so i thought i would get SEUS to
re install the rom, (mr1, mr2 is not available to me yet).
The indicator got to about an inch along when a message popped up saying
update failed.
Now i cannot enter bootloader to try again, the phone will not turn on, SE refuse
to help saying it is not released in the UK so i am not entitled to support.
I have not yet had a reply from where i got it from.
Is there any way to get this piece of junk going again?
Thanks.

Try to charge your battery on another phone / external charger.
I encountered a similar problem when trying to flash the X2. I received the UPDATED FAILED error, pulled out the battery, Volume Down + Power and gave it another try.
SEUS shouldn't brick your phone, maybe it's a problem with your battery.

The battery is at about 80%, i have tried it in my X1 as it is the same battery.
I tried the X1's battery in the X2 as well.
When i press the volume down and power buttons it vibrates for a fraction of a
second and then just stays on a black screen.

Let's try then a forced bootmode connection.
1. Insert the data cable into the phone without the battery plugged in.
2. Open SEUS and go to the connection screen.
3. While the software is searching for the phone, keep VOL DOWN + POWER and insert the battery.
After the phone vibrates, the software should recognize the X2.
This procedure generally applies to dead phones and sometimes works.
Post the result.

Still nothing, i kept the buttons pressed for about 30 seconds, then vista popped up a message 'usb device not recognised' the phone stayed as it did before and SEUS did nothing.

Sadly the support excuse they are using is what a lot of manufacturers do if you are in an area where they don't support it. This is the downside of buying a device on eBay etc. before it is "officially" released in your area. Contact the point of sale and hopefully they can send it in for you. You might have to pay shipping costs.
Leave your battery out and unplugged for an hour and then try again after that to revive it.

I did not even realise it had not been released in the UK, i got it from a UK website.
I am still waiting for them to get back to me, as it is Sunday they won't be getting back to me till Mon Tue i would think.
SE were fast though, less than an hour to reply, about the only credit they get though.
I have had the battery out for more than an hour a few times so that does not work.
Thanks for the suggestions though, keep em coming if there are any more.

The exact same thing happened to me today, but I did not even get the update failed message (but I got the inch )
The phone is now bricked. No bootloader no nothing.

I guess you guys have the Singapore English versions? A lot of those retailers in the UK were getting them through Malaysia and so on. Then selling in the UK but not informing buyers that SE wont support it in the UK yet. It's really sad

It's a French X2, and I got it in France. I think I will have no issue with getting my X2 unbricked (or replaced), SE support is pretty good over here.
But if in the mean time someone has an idea or a trick on how to unbrick a X2 (other than the tips already listed in this thread), I would be happy to test it

Learn to "Read" and use the "Search" function newb.

Hi!
This has happened to me also. The solution was to connect the original charger (I usually charge from the USB port on my PC).
Try this:
1. Disconnect all cables from phone.
2. Remove battery.
3. Insert battery.
4. Connect original SE charger and charge for 5 minutes.
5. With the charger still connected, press volume down and then power on simultaneously - hold until SE logo appears.
If not working, repeat from step 1 several times (i tried 3 times before it finally worked).
6. Connect PC USB and run SEUS update.
Seems to me like the phone does not always charg from USB, and that when it enters the "black-screen-after-short-vibration-after-power-on"-mode it does not charge while in this mode.

Mod edit: not rom dev related, moved to general

well... when it say update fail but if save the new rom to ur phone then its fine, take the battery out and restart ur phone.. it should load the new OS.. my one says fail everytime.. so no problem for me

can any one tell me what should i do

Remove battery press volume - or + I can't remember try two options, then plug in usb.
You should see blue screen with DOWNLOAD or EMERGENCY MODE text.

i tried all keys combination nothing work

my mobile internet went dead after flashing quarx rom (I did it wrong btw...), but everything else worked fine.
I couldn't get mobile internet back on track no matter what (it was disabled in quick settings when I flashed quarx), I even tried factory reset and flashing the baltic rom. during the flashing, the kdz updater gave me an error close to the end, and my phone became stuck at the android screen.
even though I have CWR installed, so I could flash it again, I sent it to LG claiming I was updating through their website and since my phone doesn't start. I didn't tell them anything about the mobile internet not working. Hopefully they'll clean the phone completely and that will fix it.
I'll be picking up my phone after work today, I'll let you know how it went.

Same thing Happened to me n almost **** my pants for killing my brand new phone..
follow these steps
1. volume +or-(i dont remember) +camera n power on. it should turn on n say downloading mode.
2. update( you can use kdz updater, it probably wont crash this time but even if gets stuck just w8 for it)
3. after updating, remove the usb cable n turn on the phone, hopefully it would work
4. ENJOY ( N THINK TWICE BEFORE EFFING WITH THE PHONE, )
i am not sure about the keys for emergency/downloading mode(i think it was vol-) GOOGLE IT IF KEYS DONT WORK.

Put to microwave on 2 sec without battery and send do service

my service provider fixed my phone in 3 days without any issues, they flashed the t-mobile branded 2.1 on it. went home and now I have the open europe with fastboot and cwr.
so if all else fails, just send it to LG or your provider.
cheers!

[SOLVED] Xperia Arc bricked?! HELP!

hey fellas...
....as the title says, i'm afraid i might have bricked my device!
what happened: assumingly, the battery was too low to perform a firmware flash via flashtool 0.2.9.1 - despite that, i tried it. the result was an abort of the process (error flashing, process aborted)....
....the situation now is that the device won't even boot anymore, it just shortly vibrates, that's it! (i've tried to reflash the uk 184 firmare several times, all resulting in process aborted....windows vista, 64 bit)...it does not matter if i use flashtool 0.2.9.1 or 0.2.9....
what was done to the device before: a successful flash of the uk 184 firmware, a successful unlock of the bootloader (done on a computer running winxp, 32bit)....
...it'd be great if anyone of you guys had some advice, any help is greatly appreciated!
regards,
paddy
EDIT: reflashed generic uk 184 on a windows xp (32bit) computer, everything went smoothly and the deivce is running again! thank you everybody that tried to help!!!!

So you battery is charged? What happens when you plug it in? Does the battery charging icon shows up?

no, nothing shows up....only the battery led keeps blinking, which is kind of strange

Leave it for a few hours and see if it charges. Its possible your battery wont charge, this was a problem with motorola defys and there is a mcgyver workaround but I would say only attempt it if your sure it will fix it and done mind blowing up your phone if it goes wrong. So basically only as a very last resort
have you tries SEUS?

thanks for replies so far....nope, i haven't tried seus yet, i'll do that right now.....despite that, i did try pc companion to "repair" the phone, which actually resulted in pcc telling me it is not able to do anything since the phone is running a modified firmware
edit: seus won't workt either, "firmware is not supported"

Try turning off holding the menu and back button starting up seus with the usb already plugged in. When detects phone let go of menu button but keep the back button held until it says let go is the boot loader unlocked. I believe its impossible to brick if its not

if possible get the battery charged from some other device or external charger...
and then try flashing via flashtool again..

this is weird....just tried it on a win7 computer, doesn't work either, flashing gets aborted immediately...even stranger is the fact that i've just let the device chrage for 45 minutes, still, the led just blinks in flashmode color, won't turn on at all and just shortly vibrates....fastboot recognizes the device though

have u been using the testing recovery files that were posted?

no, i haven't used them

hm... ok so the chargemon is not changed....
i dont know if fastboot can flash system.img / boot.img even at low battery...
still i would recommend u try to get the battery charged externally then try normal flashing via flashtool...

so you'd say it's probably the battery causing the problems? mh, okay, i'll see if i can find a way to charge it externally....hopefully the brick is reversible

Start calm.
All you need is a cool mind now.
Search for the USB JIGGS available on xda and see if someone from your area has it. You can then take help from that person. If not then just go to service center, tell them that it stuck like this while doing software update and act like you no nothing about rooting our flashing. That will do.

Yes, offcouse.
Just let them be unaware of you knowing about root/cwm etc. just act dumb. If they get to know your warranty is already void, they will charge you money for repairing it.

Follow what bruce says..

The last 'n' only hope left is this:-
Install ur phone specific driver on pc.
1. Take out battery, sim & sd card.
2. Open odin.exe on pc.
3. After this, connect the phone via USB cable to PC(yes! without battery,sim & sd card)
4. Press the download mode combo keys.
5. While keep pressing all those keys, insert the battery now.
6. Now, odin should detect ur phone so that u may get it updated with stock firmware.
And if this also doesn't work, then bro u might have lost it at all
