    Hi there!

    Seems like you have the same problem i had...

    You get the boot loader and then.... it goes off.

    Keep in mind that what i'm going to tell you isn't the "Cure for cancer" of Z8's problems but it might help. It worked great with me...

    Some basics first:

    The Z8 doesn´t charge while in boot loader.
    You HAVE to use a fully charged battery, otherwise... well, you got the picture.

    So, my Z8 crashed the same way yours did.
    Keeping in mind the first two sentences, I realized the problem was the battery itself.
    I grabbed a BC50 battery from my Z3 (fully charged of course) and got the job done.
    My advice for you is to get a fully charged battery from a Z8 or a Z3 as they are compatible.

    If you can't turn the phone on, do as i did:
    Ask someone to press 1,3 and power or *,# and power while you gently slide the battery in. In the phone, of course.

    Good luck man!!

    Ps: My best guess is that your battery is totaly flat, meaning it's not charging...
