Xperia Sp Seriously hard bricked

Hi Guys, my Xperia SP is seriously hard bricked to, my bootloader is unlocked and I had a CM 11 based rom on it, problem was that this rom only had TWRP recovery and since I unlocked and rooted my phone TWRP has never worked on it, when I started in recovery the recovery screen showed up but the touch was not working so I could not use it. After installing this rom with only TWRP I would flash CWM on my device, just on that moment I saw on this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2523732&page=4 there was a new CWM touch, before I had used CWM 6.0.4.4. and on that page is a download link for a 6.0.4.5. touch version of CWM, named CWM_Touch_6.0.4.5.zip I downloaded this file, placed in the root of my sd card and installed it with recovery. When I rebooted my device afther installing it bricked very hard, not responding on ANY key, not responding on wall charger, not recognized by flashtool it looks totally dead. Untill now I let it for hours on wall charger no response no led nothing happens, I putted it over usb cable on my computer with the rubber band trick and flashtool running for a whole night nothing happens EXEPT when i unplugged it this morning and putted it into the wall charger again the red light went on for 20 minutes then the led went off and since then there is again no life in it any more. Anyone here with a solution? Thanks A lot if anyone could help me.

Question about battery cycle

So I'm pretty sure I soft-bricked my Xperia Go today. I was trying different resets before I came across this guide and I ended up hard resetting the phone (power button and volume up button and vibrated 3 times) :(

Now I would like to flash it to get it working again, but I'm not too sure which battery cycle I'm stuck in. So completely blank screen, no LED. I plug it into the wall charger I get a solid RED LED, stays on for maybe 20-30 minutes and the no LED. I've tried plugging it into the computer again solid RED LED, I've tried holding the volume up button and then plugging it into the computer and still just get a solid RED LED.

I'm now leaving the phone unplugged I'm not sure if it's on and the battery will discharge.

HELP! Please...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Alejandroh19:

It was official ics 4.0.4 build 11.0.A.5.8

I think the battery is completely drained. When i press power button red led bilnks three time, when i plug the phone into wall charger green led stay on. Is it still in flasboot mode?
[Sony Cross-Device General] supermeerkat:
Help!! Can anyone help me with my bricked Xperia S?

It does not power on, vol up + power does nothing (no leds or vibration even after holding for a minute) and no leds when plugged into a charger. Also cannot enter flashmode or fastboot when plugged into a computer.

Basically, the phone was working fine and I decided I wanted to try DooMKernel v6. I flashed a fresh (stock) rom using flashtool, phone booted up fine, then I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the DooMKernel. When I restarted the phone, the DooMKernel logo showed for a few minutes but then the screen went blank.

I have even tried resetting the phone by removing the battery but no luck. The only thing I've noticed is that if I plug it into a charger with no battery installed, the red led flickers.

Can the phone be saved?

Black screen

A friend of mine gave a Xperia J and im trying to revive it.

Tried to flash the new firmware with flashtool, was sucessfull but still no screen at all.

Dont know if its a hardware problem, soft/hard bricked or something else.

Any suggestions?

Xperia Go STILL Bricked

Hi,

My Xperia Go bricked itself, I was not attempting any updates.

I have tried discharging the entire battery, left it on the wall charger, and flashing the phone to no success. This is what happens now, I try pushing the power button and get flashing red led, power button and volume up / down button flashing red led, NO vibrations. The screen does not turn on... When I plug it into the wall charger I get a red led for 2 seconds and then a green led for 10 seconds and then no led. I have a rubber band over the power button.

When I flash I get the following error:

[Sony Cross-Device General] :
I think your device is already fully charged if led turns green charging from outlet. Try to flash a working ROM/ftf for your device via flashtool
[Sony Cross-Device General] XrosMaster:
my phone cant even enter download mode...i get red led then it comes on boot loops for like 5 mins then back to red led and does that over and over plz helpppppp
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
Install PCC, fastboot driver and flashtool driver on your computer. Then turn off your device operate flashtool, I assume you know how to use flashtool, and once flashtool prompt you to connect your device then do so.

FLASHMODE: Hold volume down while connecting your device to the PC using the USB cable. Led light must turn green as I remember

FASTBOOTMODE: Hold volume up while connecting your device to PC using USB cable. LED light must turn blue/purple.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Aamirx27:
Rubber Band Trick

Use Rubber Band Trick. Just like this. Since your Phone enters into bootloop in 5 minutes this trick should work Flawlessly.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37844592&postcount=317

But remember only Flash Kernel for the first time because your Battery may not have enough power to flash whole Firmware. So just Flash Kernel only then put it on charge for few hours then flash whole firmware.

Xperia sola :(

Hi guys!

I'm studing really hard, but your first post says to ask question first, :D

so here I am

I have an xperia sola, I successfully unlocked the bootloader

and then, on the way to instal a custom rom I flashed the mt27i_6.1.1.b.1.10_kernel.ftf with flashtool.

now my phone it's stuck in a bootloop, a kernl bootloop I think (it just says sony again and again).

what should I do?:confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] XrosMaster:
i put my xperia ion to charge and i got the red led and i left it to charge whole nite...got up in the morning and the red led came off...what should i do now im so frustrated
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
I can't understand why you unlocked your bootloader.. to flash a stock kernel

anyway just download a stock ftf (complete firmware, all the rom, not just the kernel)

and flash it via flashtool. If the phone is stuck in a bootloop, just hard shutoff it with power + vol+

rubber band trick is for you
[Sony Cross-Device General] wongth:
Hi, starting to get really frustrated. I have an Xperia Go, was able to flash the kernal on it before the battery died. I put it on the charger and get a red led for a few seconds then the green flashmode led then the green charged led then no led. All this happens within a minute. I've tried the hard reset and left the phone on the charger for 20+hours and still no led and no lcd screen. Is my phone done?!??!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Eric Vaughn:
Phone is still broken

I let the Xperia lt28at sit for about 3 weeks. I'm still where I was at before. I'm 99% sure the kernel is broken, but my problem is that I can't install the new kernel. My phone connects to flashtool and goes into download mode, flashtool says it installed the whole FTF, but in actuality, it only took about 1 second to do everything except 'flashing data' which takes about 30 seconds. When I connect the phone to a wall outlet, the red LED comes on after a while, the red LED goes off, then the screen's backlight flashes, then turns off, red light comes back on, and starts over until it finally stops without anything on the screen and no LED.

Is there no hope? I've tried about 4 different FTFs, 3 for the LT28at and one from the LT28i. They all say they've flashed, but obviously when the phone powers on, the kernel is still it's same broken self. Any ideas? I'm thinking I'm going to use this phone for batting practice.

[MENTION=4123015]Eric Vaughn[/MENTION]

So i think you had better to buy a universal battery charger (i.e. for the spare battery, not for the phone)

and charge the battery at least for an hour
[Sony Cross-Device General] Eric Vaughn:
You think it's a dead battery?

red led = not enough battery charge to start the phone

i tried the rubberband trick didnt work so i left on the rubberband hard reset it and left it connected to my laptop with flashtool on...is tht the way to go?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
that's the procedure

but if you were able to hard reset your phone (i.e. 3 vibrations) ... it's weird you need this trick
[Sony Cross-Device General] XrosMaster:
well when i hard reset the fone it gets the red led from charging a while and then from more charging the red led comes off and thats it...dont no if i suppose to leave charging when it comes off

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

i got a green led jus now and it flashed the kernel but failed on the system so should i charge on a wall charger now?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
it probably hadn't enough charge to flash the entire system partition..

but if kernel is ok now you could try to let it charge until you can flash the entire FTF
[Sony Cross-Device General] XrosMaster:
success!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

PLEASE HELP
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
To get out of flash mode just power on the phone.

After you flash anything with flashmode you need to turn on the phone, normally hold power until 1 vibration.

Or did I misunderstand you? If so need flashtool logs.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
You wont get much help without more information. :(

Please elaborate on your issue....
[Sony Cross-Device General] androidfreak70:
nah i'm always use flashtool for small and BIG problems:D
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackdale:
the OP said if you're not sure, you should ask..

my friend said he updated his xperia v over pc companion, got bootlooped, brought it to sony center, they said he should change his machine, he obviously refuse that option, and brought it to me in condition out of bootloop but when reach the home it always go to shut down as the batteries run out, try to charge the battery with usual adapter, it goes to charging animation screen and blinking red led, but after a few seconds the screen goes black and the blinking red led gone. the first thing in my thought was bad flashing, so i downloaded the ftf for v, do checksum and flash it, tricky in power up + vol down button, but the flashtool screen indicated it was working and everything got flash. but the problem still persist, tried soft reset too, nothing happen.... and it seems i cant do hard reset, cause the phone only vibrate one time and it goes to boot

any advice?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
How much time did the flashing require?
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackdale:
15 to 30 minutes
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Did you wipe even cache and data partitions ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackdale:
Do you mean with flashtool? Yes I did,

Now I read several pages here and confused,

Blue led and green led, which one is for flashmode? I mean, power+vol up give me blue, power+vol down give me green, and while flashing are those led keep on or not?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Flashmode is green led. Official sony stock rom only

Fastboot on the other hand is blue led. Custom roms

If you are using either of those modes, led should be steadily on

anyway.. there's nothing wrong in what you did.. my only other suggestion would be.. try another FTF. Even better try 4.1 if previously tried 4.3, or try 4.3 if now you were trying to flash 4.1
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackdale:
Now this green led just turn on few seconds in beginning of flashing, after that no led at all. but flash tool still working like nothing went wrong and it did say flashing was successful. Did I successfully flashing or not?

I tried 4.3,i will try 4.1 then
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
Can you post your flashtool log?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
you quoted the wrong person

But I Always get The Error Above >> When Trying Fast Boot Or Flash Mode

I Really Lost Hope ,,
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
If you follow the steps in the OP, then FlashTools should not get a chance to say that.

I think you are connecting your phone to the PC to soon.

FlashTool does NOT need to "recognize" your phone, to flash it.

Before you connect phone to the PC, you need to set flashtool up.

You need to start flashtool and begin a flashmode flash.

click flash button(lighting bolt) in flashtool,

choose FLASHMODE,

pick your ftf file to flash,

click the button to start flashing,

Flashtool will process the files and then a new window will pop up and say to connect a device in flashmode.

Now flashtool is ready to flash.

Now is when you connect the phone to the PC, while pressing the volume down button. you can let go of the volume down button when the green led is on.

If you get errors when flashing, please copy and post the log here,

no 3 vibes on E1 model

SOFT RESET = 1 vibration then let go of buttons (hold about 3 seconds); Like hitting REBOOT.

HARD RESET = 3 vibrations then let go (about 10 seconds); Like taking out the battery.

1 vibe is all you get on xperia E1. never 3 vibes.

flashing of course works as usual.

XPERIA Z

I think i'm SoftBrick with my Xperia Z, what's more, in recovery (TWRP and cwm) I can not do anything, wipe and install zip does not work (E: can not mount sdcard ....) and there are only my sd card external is detected, sdcard (internal memory) not found (0 MB).

As soon as i connect the phone to a power source (PC or charger) it turns on directly ... so I have to go into recovery (or frozen screen on sony logo ..) that's why I must connect it in fastboot mode or flash mode.. So have you a solution please? Because i'm reading the topic and i don't understand what i have to do, lest i do more damage. :(

Bootloader unlocked

Battery charging on recovery mode

charge the battery as much as you can, then turn off the phone

then download flashtool and follow instructions
[Sony Cross-Device General] blackdale:
Hey me again, sorry for still not giving a complete log

So I found when I use Fastboot mode, the blue led will always on, but in flashmode the green led never on,

Maybe it was never flashed all the time? Can I use Fastboot mode with adb? Like you know any 4.0 + devices..

Thx
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Flashmode doesn't usually stick due to missing drivers..

Try reinstalling them (check flashtool/drivers folder)
