I have an unlocked Xperia
When I tried to re-flash the firmware through the sonyericsson update, it got stock at 10 %. Removed the cable, removed the battery and now the phone is dead.
It is even not starting not the three color screen - JUST NOTHING
Like a dead peice.
Tried the mtty but it is not recognizing - which is logical as the device is dead.
Any idea ?
Use the warranty.
I guess you are using Vista?????
If so, use a XP driven system and you will be fine again.

no mate
it was XP
oops. Sorry to hear.

For how long you used before re-flashing?
It was good or dis you noticed something out of the ordinary?
After re-flashing you still have a warranty?

I used for around 3 days.
I was trying a lot of localizing software - that is why I thought reflashing is good to choose one only.
I think that warranty is there - it is all SE update service which spoiled the gadget

Localizing softwares don't need reflashing, only a soft reset. Did you try a hard reset after the installations?
Hiya mate, try and run the Sony software update again, I doubt you have any luck though.
I had the same problem as you mate, mine stops at 11% no matter how many time I repeat the update (vista 32bit and 64bit)
I called up Sony technical support and apparently there is no replacement firmware, strange I know, Although Sony gives you the option to use the update service there is no update files to flash the firmware,
I was told the only fix for this problem is at Sony, all I can suggest is you send the unit back to your supplier, as they will hold a warranty, usually, for items found faulty within the 1st 30 days thw supplier usually ship out a brand new one rather than getting the unit fixed,
Or alternatively contact Sony support centre
Hope this help you mate, good luck
i think i read somewhere that someone did a hard reset and it worked...so try that...
I am 100% sure this is a vista fault as confirmed by SE, it also happens on XP64 ( occasionally ) your xp must be upto date ( not fully, just not pre sp2 ) - a hard reset will not work as the software has been wiped and partially over written so there is nothing to recover it from. but i assure you if your screen is saying 11% and the handset is saying 10% then it is a very well known fault which is easily rectified by using a xp machin with flash player, and a full battery.
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..

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.
Sorry for double posting but, regarding the new lcd.
I bought it on ebay, and, I think it's not damaged. I also think I did not damage the phone changing it, I used specific tools and was very careful.
If it was the screen, the led should at least blink red a couple of times while turning it on shouldn't it?
I haven't notified it, you should insert a withoutPIN-SIM and after a while try to call the phone, if it is on you should ring, otherwhise...
Tried that and nothing.
Anyway of finding out what the problem really is? :s
Because I see that I can flash the phone and update it's firmware with three different softwares.
Sony Ericsson Update Service
Sony Ericsson PC Companion
X10 Flash tool 0.2.3 by Bin4ry
I have another question, can I unplug the cellphone after the firmware flash?
It says so, but the led is still green.
Just trying to find the real problem here :s
Thanks for all the support though.

i read all the post. according to your description it seems to be hardware related problem not software 100%. cauz as you said you can change the firmware. then that mean you really need some pro help. just contact with your lcd supplier and ask help from them. they can help you if you dont want to go to technician..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what I'm thinking, but I don't think it's the lcd.
The old one shows with a crack in it, the new one shows no crack. Both show a blank screen.
Might be something else, trying to find out what :s
Ok, seems that the problem is from the new lcd.
I found this because, when I place the old one, after a while, I see the red led blink a couple of times.
And with the new one, I don't see any of that.
So, it can only be that, in my opinion.
Thanks for everything anyway.
Best regards.
So my X8 is three days old and I've been having fun downloading apps and exploring it's features.
Tonight the touchscreen started randomly freaking out. It stopped reacting to my touch and started registering false touches all over the screen. I've tried cleaning the screen, rebooting the phone, downloading the most up to date software, a factory reset and nothing is working. I've also checked for scratches of which there are none. I can't even get back into the phone because I can't get further than the set up screen.
I've googled and can't find anyone facing a similar problem. I'm at my wits end here. Anyone have any suggestions?
ghost -.-?
Try to reinstall the ROM via SEUS.
dude if its only 3 days old..im pretty sure you still have the warranty..attacked the shop dude!! get a refund or new want..mybe hardware [email protected] unit..
reinstall your smartphone with update service. this software can download from sony ericsson website. or else, sent back to the factory repair it.
Hello a friend has asked if i can repair his Samsung J3, the screen is badly smashed and doesnt work. Ive connected to my laptop via usb data cable to Samsung Kies the Phone doesnt connect remains on "connecting". I cant recover the phone as there is a password on it from a previous connection to a computer. The phone does vibrate when connected to my laptop. Windows detects the phone as a j3 and mass storage device but there is no data on it. My friend said there was photos on it. I can buy a new screen would it be possible to get the phone into recovery mode and flash a stock rom back on it using third party software? Ive been reading the other tutorials on how to do this, ive never worked on Samsungs but ive worked on Nokia and IPhones before.
Thanks in advance.
Do not reset the phone or flash other rom because the data is still there , but invisible because locked screen. Only solution is to get a screen replacement.
Hope I helped you.

Thank you for the advice ill order a screen will keep you updated on how i get on.
Long story short my G6 suffered from a defect which required repair. Sent phone in for repair, got it back wiped, and now can't use it due to Google Android Protection "please sign in using one of the owners accounts for this device".
Backtesting:
- I've tried the right account(s), and have waited over a week between attempts. No password changes have been made on the accounts.
- Google said they cannot help me and to contact LG.
- LG is refusing to help, won't send me a new device either.
- Looked for work-arounds, all which seem to require accessing USB Debugging via setup exploits; unfortunately my USB debugging option is disabled when I get to it.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to fix this issue? The phone was only about 6 months old when it went in for repairs. Is this something I can perhaps bring up in small claims court against LG for not honoring warranty? Or possibly lemon law if they can't remedy the situation?
Did you try to factory reset again? I think this fixed that. If you tried that I sadly have no Idea what to do. I had the same issue after going back to Stock. Had to factory reset like two times in a row and it started working again.
