thanks for helping me

hi guys

i try with another pc and another cable and not working and the same problem.

then i search and think : maybe my Trim Area (TA) is broken .

i have 2 question::

1) do you think is possible to be TA and if the answer yes can i fix it with the link below here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1252019

2)i already backup my TA when i have stock rom 4.1.2 ( build 254) and now i have custom kernel from mahdirom

if i restore my TA , Are you think thats gonna be a problem or you think it's gonna work and finally can flash easily like before ( i think the problem for flash is TA)?

i think it's almost done please hel
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Your TA is fine... and that link is for old xperia 2011 phones...

Anyway.. if you are able to fastboot custom kernels.. can't you just enter recovery mode?
[Sony Cross-Device General] rayanafshan:
everything work in fastboot like erase or boot or reboot .... but once i have to flash a kernel it's said " Start Flashing .... " and stay more than 30min until battery dead.

i confused because of that why everything work but unable to flash a kernel...

in my flashtool my phone said " Unknown Phone " that means my TA or BootLoader are crash . i said TA beacuse of that

i repeat my question

)i already backup my TA when i have stock rom 4.1.2 ( build 254) and now i have custom kernel from mahdirom

if i restore my TA , Are you think thats gonna be a problem or you think it's gonna work and finally can flash easily like before ( i think the problem for flash is TA)?

if My TA or Bootloader was corrupt , when i restore my TA bootloader goes to locked again and i'm able to flash stock rom or kernel

( I Know that because my phone goes to cycle of charging red - orange- green and my screen shown battery icon . also i can goes easily to flashmode or fastboot mode) that's my problem.

everything show my phone not hardbreak ... please answer ma question
[Sony Cross-Device General] rayanafshan:

I bricked my over 2 year old Xperia S over 24 hours ago: Flashing crDroid or Carbon from TWRP did not work so I tried to flash the kernel, obviously in the wrong way and the phone after never did went further then to the Sony boot logo. I had the red/pink light. I tried almost all methods in the first post and struggled with the phone not going into fastboot or flashmode. Then in the last 6 hours I was able to reach them again. But:

After Flashing the Phone by Flashtool messages without error I had again the freeze on the Sony boot logo. If useful I can provide the Flashtool flashmode log.

So I tried:

This method did bring me a step further. A so far unknown to me "repair" screen (white triangle with screwdriver and wrench, blue loading bar below) does appear. For some time the blue loading bar is animated and then it stops and the screen freezes there. Disconnecting the phone from USB and rebooting (after Power + VolumeUp vibrating 3 times) did only bring me back to the Sony boot logo screen.

I don't know how to search for this screen and would ask for help if this status and further helpful actions are described somewhere in this huge thread. I attach the Flashtool log file. Thx.

EDIT: I was able to restore stock system with the rubber band trick and flashmode full firmware it took a long time, ca. 44 min. After restarting I had again the "repair" screen but this time the boot went into ROM. Again it took long to come to stock system working, but then it was there *happy*.

I'm unsure now if I should try any further custom ROM...
[Sony Cross-Device General] DSanya:
Sometimes ticking No Final Verification isn't enough. Tick Erase Customisation too, then flash a proper stock ROM (especially revert from any custom kernel/ROM).

Unable to recover mobile.

Hi friends, I have a Xperia S. I dont the mobile much. Yesterday i turned it off and after an hour I checked my mobile, it was already on sony screen and boot-looping. I tried all trick to recover it. But when I connect the phone in flashmode it doesnt work. I have a log from flash tool.
[Sony Cross-Device General] The Hitman18:
as per your Flashtool log it shows that your device debugging mode is off. so I think you should have to turn on debugging mode on. For that go to settings -> Developers Option -> click on usb debugging(turn it on). After that it might work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] smahio:
Am not able to turn the phone on. Its bootlooping.

RED LED and nothing doing!! LT28h

My phone was rooted and was on stock firmware with LB.I was using the phone until the battery died,after that i plugged my phone to the wall charger and kept it for charging.My friend used it and what he did was as soon as the phone booted up(it was on 1% and charging)he was using some apps.As the battery was on 1% it shutted down automatically...but even though my friend did the same thing as the phone started and shutted down for several times!So i took back my phone from him and again after an hour i kept it for charging.And from that instant,my phone isn't switching on.It is always on RED LED. I charged it for 72 hours continously and sometimes it doesn't show any led,so again i plug the charger then it shows RED LED.That's it! Only RED LED from the past 5 days! No sign of any booting up.Meanwhile,i also tried the rubber band method for 2 days but no use.Plzz could anyone help me on this problem!! Seems like unplugging the battery is the only way but i don't wan't risk it.So please anyone let me know wether it has a solution!! :( :( :confused: :crying:

please help
[Sony Cross-Device General] The Hitman18:
Did you have installed CWM or TWRP recovery software in your mobile?
[Sony Cross-Device General] wafflepancake:
somebody please help

first got bootloop, try to flash kernel on flash mode

and the phone is dead, no led at all

cant soft or hard reset

charging all night, and cant get fastboot or flash mode

now I am charging again, at first no led, after 1 hour, got red led

how long it gonna takes?

with one night charge, I just got 10 minutes lifetime

What should I do?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Do hard reboot. Wait 10-15 seconds and you'll get 3 vibrations.

Then flash stock ROM with flashtool.

If that's not possible (low battery) just flash stock kernel and wait some hours that the battery charge
[Sony Cross-Device General] wafflepancake:
thanks for reply

I tried to hard reset, volume up+power, but no luck

No response

Can I do it when the phone charging?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
So you are out of charge.

Wait for the red led to disappear than do as I said
[Sony Cross-Device General] wafflepancake:
so just charging untill the red led disappear?

it's the signal the phone full charge?

:crying:

it will be a long time waiting

almost one day charging now
[Sony Cross-Device General] wafflepancake:
the red led is gone

tried hard reset, still no luck

cant get fastboot or flash mode

only red led, start to freaking out :crying:

edit:

i can hard reset, got flash mode

but when flashing the green led turn off

now try to charge again, since no led light at all
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Use rubber band trick and keep flashtool open with stock kernel flashing
[Sony Cross-Device General] wafflepancake:
thanks for the reply

is it more power to do hard reset?

to get flash mode I need to hard reset

and I cant do it with 2-3 hours charge
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
2-3 hours should be enough actually..

And usually phone is almost dead with red led.

When it becomes less red than you should be able to do everything
[Sony Cross-Device General] wafflepancake:
i dont get it why I cant reset the phone

:crying:

cant reset phone = no flash mode
[Sony Cross-Device General] SXUsr:
Which is normal depending on the Phone, most People connect before flashtool prompts them to so the flashtool fails.
[Sony Cross-Device General] wafflepancake:
I think maybe because I break the kernel not the system :confused:

Most annoying problem I cant get flash mode without hard reset

and hard reset needs much much power which is need long charging time in this case

:eek:
[Sony Cross-Device General] wafflepancake:
succesfully flashing all of stock rom

but my phone wont turn on

no screen on, just red led

:crying:

edit:

with rubber band trick got flash mode after 10 minutes

full flashing done (no error)

stuck with red led

rubber band still there, try to charge and got flash mode

remove from charger, then sony logo appear and then repair logo, and then xperia

but I left it for a while, and my xperia s back to red led no screen on

I hope just lack of power

EDIT :

YUP lack of power

MY XPERIA S GOT NEW LIFE AFTER 3 DAYS OF NIGHTMARE

thaks all

I hope my post can be reference for the others

Phone Dead, Please Help...!!!

Folks, I have been using custom ROMs on my Xperia T for a long time, unlocked bootloader. I followed the usual steps in wiping data etc and flashed the latest nightly of CM12. No problems during installation. All was fine until I gave reboot system. The phone just isn't turning ON. Battery was above 90%. Even if I connect the charger, the screen isn't turning ON. I am guessing the kernel is corrupted, so I tried flashing it in Fastboot but I am getting this error (see attachment). Flashing firmware .ftf file in Flash mode also isn't working using Flashtool. What could have gone wrong? Any solutions?

Sudden death, no LED, no Fastboot, no Flashmode.

Hello everyone,

So my friend borrowed my phone to take a selfie and returned it shortly afterwards(im giving this info because i cant say if it shut down while my friend was using it or while it was in my pocket). I just put it in my pocket and after about 20 minutes i wanted to see the time i took it out of my pocket and it wouldnt turn on.

I tried pressing only the power button and nothing, i tried power + vol+ it didnt work, waited to get home to recharge, put it on my charger and no led no nothing.

I am just wondering what could be the problem and is there a way to fix it? Is it the battery? Im asking to see if it is worth to spend money to repair it as i bought a new phone.

Also the water damage indicator on the back is pink but i have never exposed it to water. (That has been pink for over a month before it died).

It has been charging for 44h, still no red LED. Still plugged in, is this normal? For how longer should i try charging it before i give up? How much time did you guys charge yours?
[Sony Cross-Device General] chitrank:
Please Help!!!

My phone is not turning on since a month...i have tried all the different ways to recover it from rubber band trick to totally unplugging the battery cable but no luck for me.For the battery cable unplugging part...i just unplugged the cable for a minute and i think because of not letting the battery drain totally after unplugging the battery cable and replugging the battery cable quickly might have not let the battery to charge...i kept it for charging since a week....it always stays in red led light..I'm so irritated doing this process again and again..So wanted to take some advice from u guys on the forum...Please suggest and help me on this issue guys... Thanks in Advance :crying: :crying: :confused:

A little help, anyone?

I bricked my Xperia S. Had been installing TWRP and uCyan (CM12.0), but I got a bootloop when I tried to enter recovery, and obviously also when trying to boot up the phone normally.

Since then I installed a new kernel with a built-in TWRP recovery that was definitely supposed to work, but it didn't. It just hung on the DoomKernel image while trying to boot recovery. After a while I lost my patience and did a hard reset (d'oh!) - after which it "died". I get no response from the phone no matter what I do.

Proceeded to charge it for a solid 12 or so hours, not exactly sure. Went to sleep, and when I woke up the next day, surprise: red LED was on.

Since then I've plugged it to my PC, and I've been doing the rubber band method for 24 hours and 20 minutes as I'm writing this. Red LED is still on, but nothing's happened so far. Is it meant to take this long? I'm afraid it'll never recover the way this is going.

Does anyone have any tips or anything that might help? Did I perhaps do something wrong along the way since it "died", or what can I do now? I doubt continuing with this rubber band trick is gonna help if over 24 hours of it isn't enough. Should I perhaps try charging it more in the wall charger, or should I let the battery die? (and in that case, how would I let the battery drain if the phone doesn't respond to anything anyway? Doesn't seem like it's power would be drained on this side of new year that way..?)

It's driving me mad. Fixing this phone has become an unhealthy obsession, and if nothing keeps happening for much longer it might be introduced to a brick wall I know of soon. Is there anything I can do, and have I done anything wrong trying to recover it from this undead state so far? You can follow my "progress" from the last reply on page 2 and onwards in this thread (although I do think I've explained everything now already, really), which is where I first sought help. I only made it worse for myself (by accident, of course) until it ended up like this.

Sorry for all these questions. Any help is appreciated!

Cheers,

- Zareph

Never heard of such problems with hard reset..

You sure you didn't already have low battery?

Anyway just keep it attached the plug.. And (if you don't use rubber band trick) make sure to have it in sight to notice any possible boot of the kernel
[Sony Cross-Device General] zareph:
I don't think I had low battery at the time, but I couldn't exactly check.

But I might as well introduce mr. phone to mr. brick wall, since I am using the rubber band method and I just woke up - and now it's on the 36th hour of it. Obviously that trick doesn't work, at least in my case.

[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Did you ever use flashtool?

Are flashmode drivers installed?

Are you pressing vol+ ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zareph:
Did you even read my post? There was a log from flashtool showing me having run it (using the rubber band trick) for 36 hours with no results before I cancelled. You even quoted it, log and everything.

And of course the drivers are installed. ;)

And no, rubber band around vol- as needed to go into flashmode with this device, not vol+. Not that it makes a difference, I believe it's hard bricked and completely unrecoverable. All this has turned me into a pessimist...

I gave it around 24 hours in a wall socket before I started using flashtool with the rubber band, which then lasted 36 hours with zero results.

It's in a wall socket again now, not that I believe anything will change. I even took out the battery and put it back in after around 10 mins this time before I plugged it in again, but I'm expecting nothing to happen whatsoever that will change things, unless someone here has some miraculous advice. :crying:

Bricked phones make you cynical as all seven hells, so sorry if it comes out rather brashly... :(

GUYS PLEASE HELP ME FAST !!!

I unlocked my bootloader.Restored my backup of existenz 3.50, flashed the verison 1 boot.img then the normal version, then the 1826mhz overclock. All this in TWRP. Then wiped cache and dalvik cache. Rebooted to system. So far, so good, it started the "upgrading android" which is normal after cache wipe and then THE SCREEN GOT BLACK !

Cant turn it on. Plug the usb in the laptop- only sound. Tried to turn the phone off and on again- i cant do it. Tried with the off button under the sim and microsd card cap- does nothing. Tried entering in fastboot- not working. Only red LED light when i plug the cable. Tried the power and volume up/down for 20 seconds- nothing !

Guys, please help me, please !

The phone is completely dead or it is on but not responding !

Little update:

I holded the off button for over 20 seconds. Same thing- black screen but now when i connect the usb, the light does not go on and there is no sound.

Fastboot is not working.

Seems dead.

I beg you to help me !

Screw it guys. Fixed it. It was on but completely locked up. Had to open it up and detach the battery connector.

I am willing to try the kernel again, but without the overclock option.
