I did see quite a lot of people complaining about the issue but only a few succeeding in recovering the phone. I googled all day and the info was scattered all over. I came home sad but didn't want to give up on the phone. I immediately took the phone to an AT&T device center but they said that they could neither fix the phone nor replace it as it was out of the 1 year warranty.

I repeated the update step thinking i had done something wrong but had no luck even after about 10 tries. It was bricked/dead - it was a bad moment as I feared the worst. I was satisfied and merrily went back to switch the phone on only to realize that the phone wouldn't respond. The update service, however, failed in the middle and popped a message on the screen that my phone had the latest firmware already (R8BE001). The phone was fully charged, the data backed up and cables connected properly. I downloaded the Sony Ericsson Update Service (also called SEUS) from the official website and followed all the instructions to the T. Then again, if you are reading this blog, you may have already done the damage. The phone was working great until a foolish idea crept into my head - I had talked to someone who said updating the firmware on GSM phones was recommended.I wish I hadn't listened to him but in my case, it was too late.
