Sorry wasn't able to trace all your posts but were you able to use a different or new cable? It could be the micro usb is loose maybe that is why your led light is not staying ON.

[Sony Cross-Device General] :
Are you describing the flashtool driver? I think flashtool driver is universal for all Xperia, I am not sure if the manufacturing year matters, probably from 2011 - 2013.

Hello guys,

I just switched from my Xperia T to the new LG G2 and now I wanted to prepare my Xperia T for my father... as he wants to have a smartphone now. Well... I used factory reset in the options and the phone restarted and it showed the green Android mascot and did its thing... then it rebooted and I went for recovery and selected format sd card (the microSD). Then I went for reboot and then the phone died... means: everything is completely dead since then.This happened now about an hour ago and the short things to try are done (Pwr + vol up for up to 15 secs, holding Vol up / down while connecting to PC, etc.). Nothing... not a single blink of the led or anything else. So now I put it to the wall charger (org one) and keep it there. I have to add: the phone was completely charged when it happened.

Anyone an idea what cold have happened?

Additional information: the phone was/is running CM 10.2 stable with the org CM recovery.

hi i hope someone can help me.

i have an xperia z ultra and when i was flashing a new firmware (excluding ta, baseband) my power went out right before it finished.

my phone has locked boot loader and isnt rooted.

when i plug my phone into wall charger it flashes red, turns solid red for a bit, then nothing, and then black to flashing red.

it doesnt enter fastboot or flashmode, it reacts to hardreset sometimes, and when i connect to pc, the red blinking gets slower? flashtool only sees it connecting and disconnecting.

i tried the elastic band trick over night, waking up to phone having no led on =\
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
Which Xperia model are you using? I may able to help you to find that.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tomcatoggo:
Update: the phone was on the charger for the whole night now... and now the led lights up red for several minutes and then goes off again. If I get the first post and the ones linked to right, I should now plug it off from the charger and have flashtool ready to flash the stock file and then plug it into the PC with the Vol down button pressed. Do I get that correctly?
[Sony Cross-Device General] banciii:
I tried several drivers, including flashtool's drivers too (also sony update service etc), but nothing helped. I gave up and sent in to the service. :(

Some questions

Hi, my phone was still working last night, after I just woke up, I tr to charge the battery(with wall charger from my friend, not a sony one). After several hours, the battery runs out and I don't know what happened.

I have read the first page of this post and found that I might fall in to some sort of boot loops. However, I am not sure which state I am in the loop.

There are three cases.

1. I charge it with computer, the red led is on and the battery icon appears. After several minutes, the phone turned on, SONY logo appeared but it immediately turned off again and go back to the battery icon.

2. I charge it with external battery charger (not wall charger), the red led is on for 10-20 seconds then is off. It would not turn back on until I unplug the cable and plug it again.

3. (currently at the moment I am on this case, I am now charging it with wall charger) I charge it with wall charger, it seems that it is charging effectively (I am not sure). Now the light is orange, no more red.

I am not sure if I should now try to turn on my phone or do anything else. Is my phone really bricked? Or its battery is malfunctioning.

Thanks for the help.

Please Help me out..
[Sony Cross-Device General] Gaurav Vashist:
yes i have all the drivers and now i can access fastboot but it is showing my device is not rooted but it is rooted.

and i can't check if usb debugging is checked or not because it is now starting up it just when i plug to charger or pc it starts bootloops after 10 minutes and then it starts rebooting continously (10-20 times) and then again the red led lights up and then again bootloops :crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
It also bootloops even you plug to the PC? But if you are able to enter fastboot in a short period of time and knew the details if your device I would suggest start flashing w/ STOCK ROM. Then again from STOCK unrooted going to the top.

Try using other drivers. I had that SEMC before but can't remember how /what I did
[Sony Cross-Device General] Aamirx27:
Which other drivers??
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
so.. first, open the Windows device manager

then open USB controllers and make sure you uninstall anything Sony related from there. Then, make sure every entry is using AMD/intel/Via/Asus/microsoft default drivers. If you see that one of the usb controllers is using a Sony driver, update it with every other compatible driver in the list which Windows will show you (if inside this list there's only the Sony's driver, try to untick the "Show only compatible drivers" box and install USB hub root)

After you did this, reboot the computer and make sure (again) no USB controller is running Sony stuff

At this point connect the phone in flashmode and (correct) driver installation should start

Nothing is working!

I've tried every step and solution and nothing is working, I have an Xperia Ion lt28at (BL locked obviously) and I tried flashing MIUI through CWM, it won't boot past the sony logo, it boots, hangs, and fades. I've let the battery drain, soft reset, hard reset, and kept it plugged in 2 days straight. It automatically boots up when it's charged enough and I can't get into flashmode at all. Any suggestions or tips?
[Sony Cross-Device General] markelON:
Try IT

Because You have Locked Boot Loader You are the least worried person, Dont panic.

Make Sure you have installed all necessary drivers from Flashtool/Drivers/ folder

When You get into Boot Loop

try this

[1] Keep VOLUME.UP pressed and when it shows Total Black Screen in between loop quickly connect usb cable. When You get BlueLED try Flashtool with fastboot mode.

Refer This Post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35504750#post35504750

[2] If you dont get BLUE LED try it for GREEN LED [FlashMode]

Make Flashtool Ready with Stock FTF file

in Between Boot Loop Keep VOLUME.DOWN pressing and Connect Usb Cable when it shows BLACK Screen. And It Will Flash.

Read the Post Carefully and Dont freak out you'll eventually get your phone into life back.

If You still don't get response Charge it and try it after few hrs.
[Sony Cross-Device General] aggielover:
I was able to flash the AT&T stock .ftf file in flashmode and now it won't boot and the led is green, Hard and soft reset combinations won't work and flashtool won't recognize it.

Just Charge and Let LED Come Back and Get Boot Loop

Just CHarge Your Phone and Don't Power On the Device.

How exactly do you fix the CWM settings? Ive spent over 2 weeks fixing 2 soft bricks from trying to flash a rom
[Sony Cross-Device General] markelON:
Just Wipe Out all things First Before FLash

Just Wipe It Out All Before Flashing,When You Goto Recovery.

Wipe Data / Cache (Factory)

Wipe Dalvik cache goto advance ->wipe dalvik cahce

Then Flash Custom ROM. If Your Rom is Made for Your Device only then only flash it, else it coul'd end up bricked phone.

If You are in locked boot loader you cant use cynogenMOD

Also

If You want to install CunogenMOD CM9 or CM 10 Your Phone Must Have Latest Baseband Available.

For Example IF your phone was running gngerbread, You can't directly go for cynogenMOD 9 or 10

First Flash Latest Stock ICS FTF (It will upgrade the baseband) then only

Now my Xperia Ion now working!

In last Thursday I decide to get back my bricked ION and then follow the instruction as markelON suggested.

And when I tried 2 hours later, I've finally get the Xperia logo again, and everything become working! :D

In my case I found later that the speaker in back of the phone has broken. I don't sure this was already broken since the phone bricked or between the repair service tries for recover my phone. But other functions are working and my dad had car accident recently. So I keep my phone and still not send back to repair service yet.

Now it has hardware issue, not brick, so I could call the repair service to fix it now. :silly:

I thank everyone who lend the help, especially markeION.

Thank you very much.

P.S. I has also written the fix instruction summary in my language and publish to local community too, based on markeION suggustion. So I think this would help others who aren't skill the English language too.
[Sony Cross-Device General] markelON:
Glad To Hear You Unbricked Your Phone.

But Do One thing Before Giving It to Service Center.

Relock the Boot Loader If You Have Unlocked It

Make Sure You Use Only Stock Rom without any modification/rooting before giving it to service center.

I Prefer to Update via Sony Companion, Flashtool with Stock Rom would do fine too.

@up^^^

try: when bootlooping connect phone to PC -usb...and do: hold volume up and press power key till one vibration(soft reset)...disconnect and hold volume down and connect to pc to get in flash mode...now before this prepare a FW in flashtool for flash mode as when you'll enter flashmode on phone...flash will start automagically...:)

[Sony Cross-Device General] markelON:
Don't Worry It's Very Easy to Fix If You're in BootLoops

First thing You need to know is If You Got BootLoop Means Your Kernel getting loaded (Your Phone is responding Well) and you are one step close to recover it.

Make Sure following things first and foremost

1) Flashtool Installed with All necessary drivers (Fastboot+ Device Specific) Finf inside Flashtool\drivers Folder.

2) Download Latest Stock FTF for your device (If you have working one then dont worry)

3) Extract the Ftf File to Flashtool\Firmwares\Extracted_FTF\ using 7-zip

4) Put MicroUSB to device and All plug-in plug-out would be done to-from PC USb port (Coz you will need to do these things quickly)

Don't Ever Turn on the Phone unless you recovered it. (Don't Press Only the Power Button)

Steps :

- Do Hard Reset And Quickly

1) Try For Flashmode

Setup Flashtool with Stock FTF (Check ALL availabe wipe options)

Do SoftReset (POWER + VOLUME.UP) Untill You Get One Vibration ,

Quickly After that Press VOLUME.DOWN Button and Keep Pressed , Meanwhile Connect USB Cable to PC. If You Get GREEN LED It will Start Flashing Automatically.

Try It few times if don't succeed in one try.

2) If you don't get GREEN LED No problem try for FASTBOOTMODE

Open FLashtool Click Flash(Thunder ) icon and Select Fastboot mode.

Do SoftReset

Quickly After Press VOLUME.UP button and Keep it pressed , meanwhile connect USB cable. IF You get BLUE LED

GO to FLASHTOOL select kernel to flash (browse where you have extracted KERNEL.SIN from ftf Select It)

It will Flash the Kernel and After that select System to flash and do the same.

Try it few times if you don't get in one try it doesn't mean it isn't working, actually its all about timing.

Still there maybe a chance your phone wont boot up successfully So unplug it.

Setup FLashtool and Connect phone with VOLUME.DOWN Pressed.

It will FLash and Your Phone will be back to life.

3) If you don't get bootloops then Unplug Phone Connect it to wall charger and retry after few hrs.

Let me know if you face any difficulty in between.

Bricked Ion :'<

Hi,

I have a Sony Xperia Ion LT28i International Generic Ver running on ICS.

I rooted it using Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 and then unlocked it's bootloader using cmd.

How to Install CyanogenMod on your Xperia (bootloader unlock, fastboot, Google Apps, etc.) < Please search that on youtube (xda won't let me post links, first one in the results 16mins and has 5-6 thousand views)

^ Basically, I followed all the steps here until 9:50.

I waited for the purple LED but it didn't come and xperia went on a bootloop. (No SONY logo, just the screen lighting up and dying then lighting up again.) I flashed the wrong boot.img D:

Since I was a noob, I panicked and did a hard reset. Now the Xperia is completely unreponsive. No LED, no screen, and it cannot turn on.

The Xperia cannot be detected by the computer.

I have it plugged into a wall charger for around 16+ Hours now and it has constant red LED light.

I've got it to bootloop twice now, and I still couldn't get it to fastboot nor flashmod :'(

I've tried every solution in this thread already and I am starting to believe I get hardbrick.

Please help me.

This is the most frustrating Christmas ever D:
[Sony Cross-Device General] markelON:
Dont Freak Out Read Forum You'll resurrect urs

Find my previous post you'll find solution.

Make all things ready first.

like

Flashtool with all drivers (Phone Specific + fastboot)

Extract Stock ftf with 7z for (Fastboot mode)

When you're trying for Flashmode make sure You setup flashtool then only try for flashmode.

When You're trying for Fastbootmode make sure you first clean up all partitions then flash as without it , files will be replaced and merged only.

You can find all those details on my previous posts.

Read out those carefully and i m sure you'll make it alive.

Mine was also the same no response first, then red blinking RED LEDfollowed by Contant RED LED.

Try 1 thing for bootloop

Charge with wall charger for at least 10 minutes then plug it into laptop/pc.

It will start Boot looping after 3-20 minutes.

then Follow the procedures on those previous posts.:good:

Merry XMas :D

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------
