Better way is give your Jlo to service is only way to revive this phone. Sorry. :<
You have to send your phone to Sony service.
Because hard brick is critical problem and you can't do many things for fix your phone.
Hello,
thank you for taking the time to read and try to help.
I got an Asus Padfone X from At&t and the refused to unlock it
Asus didnt help either.
not to bore you with details
but here is my noobish mistake tool form, i flashed the asus kernel .zip file to the bootloader using twrp.
now phone wont boot into recovery or bootloader
got the minimal tool which as you know include fastboot and ADB
but it wont detect the device ( it detected it before when i rooted the phone )
I made a backup before i flashed , but the problem i cant flash it to a device that wont go to bootloader or recovery
and wont be detected by ADB.
please guide this lost noob.
Hello Ultimician,
If your device cannot boot into recovery or bootloader it's a hardbrick. Flashing the wrong kernel will cause your device to hardbrick.
You probably still have a warranty, I'd go to your service provider and play dumb: "One day my phone just didn't turn on, I've tried everything even charging it."
If you know of someone that could JTAG your device you could go to them that might work, what the manufacture usually do is they replace the whole motherboard. ( What Samsung did when I bricked my device in any case.. )
Otherwise you could refer to these threads, be careful though they are not necessarily for your device. ( But they might be of help )

thanksfor the swift assistance

Carefully when they send a device back to the maker they can often pull information.like last install and all of that. If you had a back up. I would try to flash the stock firmware. They are ways to do this with jig and other tools. I would try to flash stock every way I could before I take it back. I had s3 and bricked it long time ago.after many hours of reading I fixed it. Please always when flashing make sure it's for your device. Wish you luck2
After hundrad of Dollars loss....! i realized one thing that bricking is just about Deleting the boot partition because when there is no boot partition the phone will not bootup. exactly the same happened with my Android Phone.... i bought a new Xperia C3 Selfiee Phone With android 4.4.2. i tried many ways to root it but no fruitfull and then i installed a recovery image to Root it.... #BangGggGgGgggg!
my phone got bricked
then After a long struggle i failed to Revive it and also today i have no phone for communication because due to budget problems....!
but after a lot of experiments and extensive research i got a point that Custom Recovery or rom is not stable when u install them there is a danger of sudden Deleting of Boot partition Thats what exactly called hard Bricking.
In soft bricking Only the OS of the phone got Damaged but in hard bricked the boot partition Some how got erased.
so my Request to devolopers please Build up a method to flash Booot partition in android bcoz it will save many User from Doing suicide
#thankew... And also please suggest an method to revive my phone ,if u have any
Hey guys, I've accidentally hard bricked this tablet (SGH-i497) by flashing the wrong recovery image. No download mode or recovery, black screen only. Computer only sees it as qhsusb_dload.
What I'm wondering (obviously short of a JTAG repair) is if anyone could potentially make a working backup of their model using QPST as a last ditch effort? I want to see if this can restore it, and I know it's a long shot.
Hello everyone!
I saw that there's always some confusion about these terminologies. I wasn't able to find thread on XDA regarding to it so I decided to write about this.
This thread won't help you to recover from Hard Brick and Soft Brick situation!
●Why word 'Brick' in Android terminology was used?
When Android phone isn't operation in anyway, there was a need to name that terminology. Since Android phones are usually in shape of a brick, and since now it isn't fixable in any way, it is as good as a brick. So in that condition, it is called a "Bricked Device".
●Then why there's variations Soft Brick and Hard Brick?
Some people, without understanding history of the word brick in Android terminology, started using it when phones gets into bootloop or boots but ends up at fastboot or recovery. In these kind of situations, phone is fixable. They started opening thread naming "My phone is bricked, help please!" After some people ask in detail it comes to know that phone is suffering from bootloop problem. For them, brick situation was divided into soft brick and hard brick.
So basically Soft Brick is nothing but the problem of bootloop or all type of fixable problems that don't let you boot in to your Android OS.
●Which is common? Hard brick or soft brick?
Hard brick is very very very rare. That shows that soft brick is common. But saying phone is bricked without using word 'Soft' is totally wrong and nooby side. People need to understand why 'Brick' terminology was kept. If your phone is bricked, it is as good as a brick. So even though if chance of hard brick get less than 0.00001% it is totally WRONG to speak word brick for a soft brick.
