my phone was closing every app : cam; launcher; messaging.............. so i did a reboot systeme (by holding power key then select it)

after reboot it stucks at sony logo; so i did force a shut down by holding at the same time power vol - and cam

after that the phone vibrate and reboot and stucks on sony logo; same problem did same thing to force shut down and power on and this time i hold volume - to try a hard reset and i did but when rebooting the phone turn dead

no red led when i plugged in to the wall charger

no flashmode whith flash tool (rubber band didn t work for me)

then i open the phone and unplugged the battery cable wait about 10min and replugged it the red led blinks and turned of

z3v rooted

(power + volume up dont work for me )
[Sony Cross-Device General] vpllover:
I have a Sony Xperia Ion(LT28AT)

I don't know what I did to brick it, but here is what I have done to fix it.

I couldn't get into flash mode unless I did a Hard Reset, so I plugged into computer, to to low level charging with the Red LED on. I tried soft reset then flash mode to no avail, so something told me try it after hard reset. I got into flash mode and flashed the LT28H firmware. Let the phone charge for a few hours, but it never got out of low level charging, no battery icon showed up. Anytime I tried to turn on, it would RED LED for a few minutes then bootloop with just backlight for 10 seconds then reloop. I just reflashed a day and a half ago, then flashed kernel on top of firmware. Phone has been plugged into wall for day and a half. After a day the solid RED LED went off and there is no LED at this time. I don't wanna mess with the phone, has it taken anyone 3 plus days to get their phone to charge?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
If you actually managed to flash firmware, then you should have had enough battery to also boot up system normally.

And charging is way faster then.
[Sony Cross-Device General] vpllover:
Still won't boot, but will give red LED for 12 to 16 hours before the LED goes out.

Flashed the full firmware, and or just the kernel multiple times with and/or without final verifications checked.

All I ever get is backlights for 5 seconds...reboot, about 10 times...
[Sony Cross-Device General] luqman@dr:
Maybe you should replace your ic emmc,
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Well, at this point flash a kernel with an included recovery (say, doomkernel's or nAOSP 5 one) via fastboot

Then enter said recovery and recharge from there.
[Sony Cross-Device General] vpllover:
Will try, was there a Doomkernel ftf made for the Sony Ion?
[Sony Cross-Device General] dafunky:
Hello, I write here in case somebody can explain what's going on. Here is my problem : using a working XA1 phone, I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP + Magisk. This worked but the phone started rebooting 1 mn after Android was started. After a lot of actions, the phone still reboots, IDK what to do.

Summary of my attempts :

- Unlock using official (Sony) method : OK

- Flash boot.img + recovery.img following the first post : OK

- Reboot in twrp: OK, install Magisk 12

- Reboot to system : once android is started (launcher), the phone reboots after about 1mn, again and again

- Back to recovery : wipe all, then reboot to system : fresh android starts, but same reboot after 1mn within the "first steps tutorial"

- Back to recovery : advanced wipe : all including data. Then bootloop, and impossible to go back to TWRP.

... Some bootloop and soft brick I won't describe ...

- Back to fastboot : Flash boot.img + recovery.img : OK, no error.

- Reboot to recovery : bootloop.

- Flash and official G3121 ROM using Flashtool : ok, but same reboot after 1mn

- Relock phone, launch PC COmpanion, launch repair : ok, but same reboot after 1mn.

- Flash twice different G3121 ROMs using Flashtool : ok, but still same reboot after 1mn

So, now, what can I do? I tried all I could find. Maybe the kernel is not the right one, or something else.
[Sony Cross-Device General] niaboc79:
Try without sim card and without sdcard. If it works without issue try to swap the sim card for a new one.
[Sony Cross-Device General] dafunky:
Thank you for your help. There were no sim and no sd during previous tests.

Guys can I get MPRG8260.hex and 8260_msimage.mbn files to flash dead XS by qfil or qpst thanks in advance (sony xperia SL).it is just a try.if I done I will post
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
The first file was posted here.

As for the latter.. AFAIU it's more device specific than just the SoC, so I'm not sure how much they'd be worth the hassle of searching.

On the other hand, generating them should be possible (even without requiring the fully blown qualcomm BSP)

From there onwards the thing should be relatively straightforward then.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Heamnath:
Really thank you.I think you have searched lot for me. Again thank you.hats off to you.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Heamnath:
A special thank to Mirhl , But guys I want you say something,Mine Is Sony Xperia SL and it's​bootloader is unlocked and repartioned and it was running on 8.1.

The mistake what I did is while restoring backup,I have stupidly hard reseted.

The screen got blank and TWRP blue LED was on for 15 min ( why it got delayed and blue light turned off ????)and then everything is.....DEAD.

But while restoring backup, I saw boot and fota was restoring then I messed up:crying: please take a look and help me.but it is not a hard brick I think:rolleyes:
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Everything is dead just means your battery is empty...

And even with wrong, broken, or exploded kernel.. You don't need QPST by any means.

Just whatever manage to charge it, then use fastboot to flash the right one.

Or flashtool for stock rom. Or emma.

And you are done.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Heamnath:
And again I thank for the thing :svetius: I will try but how can I know it's charging? Before brick it was 60 percent charged
[Sony Cross-Device General] Heamnath:
Sorry to disturb,I have many questions in my mind,what should I do before working on rubber band trick?.please I have so many doubts.how much time should I charge my device?:rolleyes:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Heamnath:
Any one?

Hi Eddie I think u too had Sony Xperia S.i got bricked my SL.i didn't get Sony logo but leds.please help
[Sony Cross-Device General] Damjan94:
I had the same problem when rooting my samsung s7(stuck at samsung logo). I had to format the data partition, as far as I understand, it was encrypted, and the phone was trying to decrypt it.

my s7 heated up too, so I know it was doing a cpu intensive task...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Reda.da:
what to do now ?? is it gone for good ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Damjan94:
if you can get into recovery, than try to delete/format the data partition. that's what I did, and it worked for me... maybe it didn't write the system correctly, I have had an experience where I had to flash a custom rom twice for it to boot. I am not very experienced, keep that in mind.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Reda.da:
somehow i can get to recovery.. so i wiped everything and instaled lineage 14.1 everything went good but when i reboot to system the rebooting sony logo again :/
[Sony Cross-Device General] Damjan94:
you have twrp, right? in wipe, there is "format data" I think you need to do that
[Sony Cross-Device General] Reda.da:
i did it but no luck :/
[Sony Cross-Device General] Damjan94:
and when you flash a rom? try a different rom.... try the same android version as the stock rom
[Sony Cross-Device General] abd_alazeez2002:

bricked tipo recovery help

Some help would be gratefully received;

I recently unlocked my bootloader and followed steps to flash freexperia. Unfortunately i flashed the wrong boot.img and bricked my tipo (single sim).

I can now get into flashmode to use flashtool, and can get into ADB mode but the phone is not recognised by my PC at all.

I really need my phone back up and running but no matter what I try i cant get it back to a working condition, if someone would kindly assist me in getting my phone back up and running i would be MOST greatful!

I have tried various things after following various threads but have had no joy, i understand the importance of searching and reading but seem to have exhausted all available routes like this. Hopefully one of you kind and knowledgeable souls would care to help me please? pretty please?

Regards and thanks in advance.

Tegan1110

PS I would post in freexperia thread but you have to have 10 posts and i think this is only my 4th :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
Thank you for letting me know. I will look for another link.

If windows 8 will not recognize it and no other pc is available. You could use UBUNTU from USB or in Virtual Machine and use flashtool for Linux.

[Sony Cross-Device General] ganeshbiyer:
I flashed a kernel, I was working on. I got a boot loop. The bad part is that the phone does not vibrate when pressing power+vol up not once, not thrice. I have been charging it for the past 1 week, but to no avail.

It boots up and it stays on the Sony logo and finally it yellows out of the screen. At this point the red led starts blinking and screen seems to be on. Later the screen dies out and the led stops blinking.

The charging continues.

This process continues for 3 to 4 times and finally there is no light on led.

Only once in the past week did I get a vibration and blue led and disappeared as fast as it arrived. My phone was on charging thru power. So I am hopeful that I may get it again.

And I have tried all the methods mentioned on the OP.

And the worst part of it all is that there is no Sony Service Center in Bangladesh. So I have to wait till I go to India.

Or a MIRACLE happens.:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Cross-Device General] m1trand1r:
oh...that's some bad news mate...just when you started to make awesome kernel.....all the best from my side and i hope your Xperia ION will wake up soon...even if miracle is needed...let it happen....:D

So I put my phone on charging and went to sleep.

Get the phone working by flashing the stock firmware or

To flash cm, you could flash the boot.img from the cm zip and from recovery flash cm.

Sir ı need major help. ı have two phones M5 and Z5 ı opened the back of both.

M5 was sitting on a shelf for years, the problem at first when ı first tried booting it ı thought LCD was broken there were vibrations and left it, months later ı tried, it got to boot animation then sound got stuck and glitched and turned off. ı plugged m5 into pc done something with EMMA didn't work didn't even pass sony logo, Companion said bootloader is open, ı closed it by flash tool and flash tool said it was rooted but ı don't even remember rooting it was my father's phone, whatever, after that ıfixed it by Companion didn't work Red Light and vibrations followed the steps and get it back working but right now it did the same thing and boot animation and sound got stuck and turned off. any idea what's wrong ?.

Z5 on the other hand was rooted unlocked recovery and rom installed I tried installing stock ROM and probably missed a step and it's bricked. at least what ı think. red blinking light when plugged in, goes solid when button pressed ı charged it for days still blinking led. thanks to the forum ı tried doing button combos and both power buttons + volume down vibrates phone for three times at 5 seconds tried two vibrations full vibration but regardless of what button ı press it always goes back to blinking?

ı am out of any ideas, ı would greatly appreciate any help ı don't have any phones right now and my online classes are due ı need help :(

edit ; after many battery unplugs M5 got to android starting app optimizing screen and screen gliched and turned off ( CPU dead ?)
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
There's no such a thing as a dead cpu.

You probably are super low on battery, enough to quit offline charging, but not enough to complete the first heavy boot.

You should flash a stock kernel with a recovery from fastboot, and then boot to it until you are at least 20% charged.

You can flash your Z5 clean with xflasher or flashtool.
[Sony Cross-Device General] emirhan7:
hi, ı was given up for a long while but I picked it up now again,

I killed the M5, İ did the companion and a flash tool every time it gets to boot animation then gets glitched screen gives artifacts sound gets stuck and fails, so ı was trying over and over, unplug all the ribbon cables let it discharge and try ı again, after trying for soo many times ı messed up the charging port ribbon, crush and bend. PC thought it was an audio device then it started smelling burned so, dead now

ı am trying z5 now unplugged the battery and left it like that for days for a couple of times, and charged it with a red light blinking for 48 hours twice still blinking, tried button combinations but never seen the color anything but red, there is response tho. if ı press the power button while plugged red light goes solid if ı press the sim card tray button and the power button it vibrates 3 times. ı am sure ı messed it up while trying to turn to the official. ı was confident with the phone ı skipped a step or pressed something wrong and it didn't even boot up again. motherboard replacement for both phones are 200 Try and m5 worth 500 Try and z5 is 800 try, should ı ? or is it just e-waste now?

and thank you to xda community for everything.

Hi I really need help I tried to flash my firmware through flashtool but it is not working with the latest flashtool, and my antivirus keeps removing files from a lot even the official flashtool downloaded at xda, My phone used to be on the Sony Logo but now it is black blank.

[Sony Cross-Device General] MegaSharkXDA:
So… I bricked my Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra while trying to install TWRP 3.5.2. Bootloader is unlocked.

Here’s what the phone doesn’t do:

Doesn’t turn on

Doesn’t vibrate when power is pressed

Doesn’t vibrate when power is pressed for a long time

Doesn’t vibrate when power+vol down is pressed for a long time

Doesn’t vibrate when power+vol up is pressed for a long time

Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a wall charger

Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a PC

Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a PC with vol up pressed

Doesn’t light up any LED when connected to a PC with vol down pressed

But here’s what it still does, so at least there’s still hope it may resurrect from the dead:

It is recognized when connected to a PC as “Other devices / QUSB_BULK”

It is recognized when connected to a PC with vol down pressed as “Other devices / QUSB_BULK”

It is recognized when connected to a PC with vol up pressed as “Other devices / QUSB_BULK” but only for a few seconds, and then it disconnects. So at the very least the device “knows” it should be doing something differently when connected with vol up pressed

So it does seem to still hold a chance.

Can you help me out? Thanks in advance!

I already searched everywhere and I'm loosing my hopes. I'm trying to revive an Xperia Ion and this is what I get:

When I plug the phone in the wall charger the red led turns on for some minutes and then turns off.

The same happens when I plug on PC, when the led turns off it is detected as "Somc flash device" in windows device manager and this shows in flashtool:

INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

Nothing changes if I plug in pc with volume + or - pressed, it don't goes into fastboot or flashmode.

You should NOT flashed the/any kernel while having locked bootloader. Go to the first post of this thread. Start with pc companion. If that does not work, move on to the LOCKED bootloader tricks. You may have to let the battery die first. Keep is posted on your progress.

So I went through the runnings, installed everything on my Xperia T (LT30p, locked bootloader). Got CWM installed then went to install the official Paranoid Android ROM. Did it, rebooted as instructed.

Now there's NOTHING. It vibrates on holding power, vibrates 3 times on holding power & Vol+ but that's it.

Nothing on the screen, no charging LED of any kind.

Is this hard bricked? Atm it's plugged in but with no charge LED, I'll leave it overnight but it seems to me like this is full on hard bricked.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
NO it's not hard brick. You just flashed a custom Rom for unlocked bootloaders on a locked bootloader. You have SOFT-BRICK follow directions in this thread OP. Start by plugging it in to a wall charger.

Hi everyone, I purchased my Xperia TX 2 months ago in Singapore and now I return to my home country- Vietnam. My phone was working good till last week.

I was surfing via 3G on my phone and i remember it was 3% battery left and then BANGGG...My phone turned black and i though it was out of battery.

Then I charged it on wall socket as usual and saw the red notification light as usual but it disappeared after a while. I couldnt turn it on anymore. I charged it for 4 hours and the screen kept the same.

I have tried to press "power +up/down volume" keys and its still frozen. Only the red light vibrates when pressing and nothing more.

I DIDNT unlock the boot loader, water, or drop it. I use my phone for daily uses and usually connect with the Sony Companion so I make sure again its not rooted yet.

Unfortunately, Xperia TX is not released in Vietnam yet. HOw can I fix it? Is it considered a soft brick? please help me!!!!
