Bricked it myself...Backlit blank screen need help. PLZ!

I think it's because the update you used didn't update the stock recovery. So the stock recovery still has the old drivers. I am not 100% sure though. I haven't rooted this phone in a long time now so its hard to remember the common problems people were facing. If you are planning on rooting the newest Xionia has both drivers and won't give you the blank screen.

PERFECT TIMING!!! I was just looking for a solution for this..I will give it a go tommorrow..THANK YOU..now i can get some sleep..

Use screencast to install the ZVD update.zip

thanks sfhub,
I did as you said and installed the ZVD update.zip...got stuck in a boot loop, did a wipe data/factory reset came back to life...did a optiauto-sfx to reroot...still no boot ani (except in screencast)....I know it's a small thing and I am grateful my phone still works...but I really like my boot ani...any chance of getting that back...I read somewhere (may have been this thread) that the Optimus S has a different kind of video driver..any chance of redoing that driver? Anyone?

thanks in advance!
