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.

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

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 .
Hey

Hi all
my xperia x10i won't turn on
Firstlly sorry for my English.
My xperia cannot open.
When i pushed power button to open xperia, it shows Sony Ericsson write and logo but after restart auto , likely on-off-on-off-on-off.
What did I do before breakdown ?
i upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2.1 . it runned normally but can't see simcard so i wanted to downgrade 2.1 version to use my phone normally. I downgraded the version with Sony Ericsson Pc Companion last sony ericsson version.
When the downgrade is done by SE pc Companion i tried to open my Xperia and i see breakdown.
so i cannot open phone and i cannot start sony ericsson pc companion and cannot start unknown sources and usb debugging mode.
I need your help. I don't know how to fix it i need my xperia to use
Ok, i had to do this twice now, as i bricked it a couple of weeks ago
you'll have to reflash with sony ericsson update service here:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/updateservice/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en
Follow the instructions and press the back button before plugging in the cable.
Download the software and keep in mind that playing around with roms will result in these problems so don't go too far.
1. Take your battery out.
2. Hold the back button. Make SEUS running and ready.
3. Plug it into the computer.
4. Put your bateery back in.
Follow the instructions. Hopefully it would work and good luck
If it worked dont forget to hit thanks button.

Hello Guys
I have a UK Sony Xperia Play which was rooted- using the rooted 2.3.3 kernel Originally and was updated by sony from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 which worked ok before I rooted the device.
I then decided to use another members rooted firmware which worked - Please see here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145729
I wanted to reflash to with 2.3.2 which worked then I did a sony update again over wifi and after that I could not boot the phone at all it just vibrates nothing happens - no boot logo- I have reset the phone by taking the battery out and it is fully charged and it does work in flash mode but when I try to reflash the rom again it using flash-tool and stock firmware the software says it has been done but does not boot. Any thoughts on why this is.The Bootloader has been unlocked previous to root
Thanks
Mark
You've unlocked your bootloader AND updated Over The Air?
Yea he has an unlocked bootloader... There are countless threads warning you not to update over wifi or 3g if you unlocked bootloader... =( try the development forum to see if you can get it unbricked

Be careful what ever you do because you can destroy your radio if you use the wrong fix.
I have not had your problem but I believe there is a fix binary made as long as you have done nothing to the phone since you bricked it
Edit: /\ lol a little slow I guess /\

Glad it worked out for you, sorry I couldn't copy and paste the link for you to unbricked you phone since I'm using the xda app on my play

Hi
I had the same problem with my xperia play (R8000i), after upload over wifi, my xperia play doesn´t work. i can´t do the fastboot neather the battery charge.
I already made the FlashTool with: R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World.ftf and Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf
The FlashTool Works successfull but xperia play don´t boot.
Someone here already have the solution for that?
Thanks
I have the exact same issue, what's the fix?
EDIT: OK, rather than start a brand new thread I thought I'd just reply here.
Basically, I unlocked and bootloader of my phone and rooted it ages ago, and totally forgot the dire warnings about OTA updates. I spotted someone on here mention that they'd installed an OTA update on a rooted phone and decided to do it, as I've noticed that my Play is really buggy of late.
Of course, this has bricked my phone. When I press the power button the phone just vibrates, and if I hold it in, it vibrates every few seconds.
I've tried plugging the phone into the PC in recovery mode (holding down back, green light comes on) but my PC says I need an S1boot Download driver (which I swear to god I already have, I think I needed it to unlock the bootloader in the first place!). I've followed all instructions, downloaded the drivers and pointed the installer in the right location but I keep getting a message that says the hardware cannot be installed.
I'm running Windows XP, by the way. Can anyone help a foolish soul?
S1Boot Download issue solved: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17497338#post17497338
OK already have this driver installed and can use the FlashTool normally, but the Xperia play does not start, and I can not put them in the way fastboot mode.
When I press the power button the phone just vibrates, and if I hold it in, it vibrates every few seconds.
I have used the PC Companion and Update Service did not work
Does anyone have a solution?
You need to wait for the prompt to connect your phone in Flashtool. When prompted, you have to hold down the 'back' button when you plug in the USB cable. The power light should go green to indicate the phone is in fastboot mode.
Had already done this process.
I already made the FlashTool with: R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World.ftf and Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf
The FlashTool Works successfull but xperia play don´t boot.
You need to flash the special unbrick tft, it's on the forums somewhere
Fastboot = BLUE light (search button+usb). Used to flash/boot with fastboot commands from a cmd window on a pc/laptop and such.
Flash mode = GREEN light (back button+usb). Used when flashing with flashtool.

Duddyroar thanks
But I did a search on forum and did not find the file tft unbrick.
You could put the link?

Guys, my wife's X8 just got busted..
touchscreen is gone.. display is still there but not responding to touch anymore.
(I did everything I can.. so confirmed it's a hardware issue).
I've flashed this to a custom ROM.
How can I flash this back to stock 1.6? Along with the SE GUI?
I ran search on forum and found I need to download SE PC Companion, or SEUS.. will that do the trick? I need confirmation because my internet connection at home is quite slow, and I need to send this back for warranty ASAP.
Thanks all.
Yeah, download SEUS, select repair and it will install stock 2.1
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
Thanks Godra..
However I found this from SE Website..
How to use
1. On the computer: Start PC Companion.
2. Connect the USB cable to your computer and then to the phone..
3. On the phone: Select the "Connect your phone" option.
4. Wait for the phone to connect.
5. On the computer: From the Dashboard, select the applications to start different services and get information.
----
Issue is the touchscreen is busted, so I can't select the "Connect your phone" option.
Any other flashing method to get back to stock without them noticing that I've modded?
use the Flashtool.
You´ll have the choice beetween different 1.6 and 2.1 ROMs, and you just need to putn your phone into flashmode for this, so you don´t have to touch the screen.
You can try x10 flashtool. I would post you a link to the thread but im currently on my x8 so you ll have to use search...

Thanks codfreak and Godra.. I'll try first and see how it goes.
Appreciate your help. God bless!
Dear all, I found out that I've made a nandroid backup of the original stock ROM and saved it on my computer hard disk (see.. always do a nandroid backup!)
Anyway, I have xRecovery installed on the phone.. how do I uninstall it?
Flash with SEUS. You need first to turn OFF your phone (better to pull out battery). Run SEUS, choose your phone, next.
When SEUS asks, put your battery in while pressing back button. It will restore original Eclair.
unfortunately after using Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0, the app is unable to detect my phone.
Upon connect via USB, it asked me to do something to the phone.. which require touchscreen interaction before it could identify..

You are not trying SEUS?
I think there is no need to touch anything on phone because SEUS is needed your phone to turn off.
wc_how, yeah I didn't use SEUS.. hehe..
Oh well, I sent the phone after nandroid restore.. stock ROM.. as it is..
At the service center, one lady tested my phone.. checked the hardwares.. all appears ok, no sign of drop.. while I explained about the touchscreen issue..
All of a sudden she enters xRecovery before I knew it.. and she was greeted by this smirking Android face...
She paused, take a look at me... I smiled...
She turned the phone off and said "Ok, we're going to replace the touchscreen for you, please sign here - here's your reference number, we will call you - or you can call us when the device is ready"
And I was off.. hehehe
Your lucky then, enjoy
