Phone bricking from Android 9.0 update?

[HRJ86]

So from what I've already seen from two prior discussions and an article that was posted about this there seems to be issues already with the Android 9.0 update causing this phone to break in some cases? If this is the actual case Sony should be addressing this ASAP and if any individuals are suffering from this problem should either give them exception for warranty be still in effect or expired, and pushing out an update to brick because that's totally unnecessary to push out a major update as such and it causes that big of an issue!

Just wanted to share a possible solution. 

The phone stopped working after the update for us, the screen was black but there was some light coming through and the phone was clearly on (the alarms were still going off). But the screen was unusable and impossible to see.

In the end, the solution that worked was removing the aim card, putting it in another phone and then returning it to the original phone. 

Let us know if it worked for you!

I wouldn't know personally as I have not received the update at all on my XA2 Ultra. It's periodically checked and auto update is active so for me it's up in the air as to when this will be happening.

I'm currently living in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I updates my phone and it seems to work fine. I don't have a single issue with the 9.0 update for Expedia xa2 ultra. The software I have is 50.2.A.0.352. I just made sure my developer option and all the settings I tweaked were off before I started my update. Thank God, it didn't brick my phone or gave me any new issues.
