I appreciate your help kenaeny.

In Windows 8 i have still the same problem. Any other Win8 user have the same problem with drivers in flash mode?

I will try reinstal all USB drivers and PC Companion...maybe it helps.

Unfortunately i have locked botloader and fastboot(Orange operator) so i can't flash any custom kernel.

Happily i have now two other operating systems on my laptop now :P

Tried rubber band trick with no luck
[Sony Cross-Device General] kenaeny:
rubber band trick doesnt work with ours device cuz i tried that many times without luck.

xperia p hardware is similar to xperia s so what you should do is let it charge for a day first, youre battery migth have been empty thats why its flashing.

after you charge try what i said before, volume up + power button (with or without vibration) for about 10 seconds then quickly press volume Down and connect it to your pc.

hmmm windows 8 = more problem cuz i sawn many people with problems with flashtool on windows 8

dont you have another pc with windows 7 orso? try it on a windows 7 computer cuz i think its a driver issue
[Sony Cross-Device General] MegaSharkXDA:
The thing is that the LED flashes when I press power even though it has been charging (with a wall charger) for a whole day.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Keksdroid:
Today it was the first time to get a vibration. Just left the phone on my PC and when I turned on my PC today the display of the phone turned on for a second, red led turned off, but after a second display off again and red led on. I pressed vol+ and power and got a vibration.

Not sure if that is a good sign or not...

Should I try a hard reset now? Or any other idea how to go on?
[Sony Cross-Device General] psyy:
hi all,

also made a topic but i think i can answer here to...

got a xperia s

i had cm 9.1 running on my phone, suddenly my brain thought lets update ( with cm updater ) to 9.0.

phone restarted into recovery and some error applied, since 5 days ago my phone is still stuck in the kernel boot.

can enter recovery but its stuck there to. ( phone wont charge i think, atleast see no lights ).

so after many tries i can now flash a .tft with flashtool. but when i disconnect phone and start it up again it just stays the same :confused:

also tried flash boot and system with fastboot and here also the same applies, no difference.

HELP ^^ :cool:

[Update] ACER Recovery Installer bricked my Xperia Acro S - H

[6th Day and 7th Day - 10/06-07/2013] I disassembled the XAS and unplug the battery for an hour. Afterwards, plug it back and charged it on wall charger for another 5 hours. Prepared kernel to flash on flashtool. Then tried volume up + power for 10 seconds, released, hold volume down for 5 seconds, then plug it in pc. Been doing this for the whole day. Still, no 3 Vibrates for reset, no Green Led fo Flashmode and no Blue LED for Flashboot. Btw, bootloader is locked.

[8th Day - 10/08/2013] Assembled the XAS after last unplugged battery pocedure, plugged it back to wall charger for another 5 hours. After that, prepared kernel to flash on flash tool, hold the power, volume up and volume down, all at the same time and Flashtool screen shows "Device connected with USB debugging off" and "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode" then "Device Disconnected". Tried it several times, until I manage to catch "Device connected with USB debugging off" and "For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode" after releasing Volume Up and Power, left only the Volume Down and was able to stay at that screen message. No red LED, I checked my device manager, it's showing "SEMC Flash Device". Been waiting for my XAS to respond using rubberband technique (holding the Volume Down button) but after 20 minutes, Flashtool showed "Device Disconnected" and the "SEMC Flash Device" was gone on Device Managers. Tried this technique also on PC Companion and SEUS (indivudually) but got no luck.

[Today is the 9th Day - 10/09/2013] I do not know what to do next at this very moment. Probably repeat the procedure I did on the 8th Day. Phone was on wall charger for 7 hours right now and just shows the Red LED.

Got this Flashtool Message

i was able to unlock the bootloader and flash an advanced kernel, now i try to flash an rom trough fastboot and let it charge for another day

while i was busy with fastboot and flashing the kernel, i noticed my dvice got little bit hot so i think its a "good" sign, lets see
[Sony Cross-Device General] Keksdroid:
Do you think unlocking would help in my case? How did you do it?

Here is what i did so far:

I also tried it with a hard reset yesterday. After the 3rd vibration my phone went into flashmode (i left it on the pc) and I just flashed the stock rom again. Same log as before, charged it till red LED turned off but i still cant turn it on.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kenaeny:
do not try to hard reset, after one vibration put it on the charger for an hour or two
[Sony Cross-Device General] Keksdroid:
That didnt work for me. Just the usual...LED goes off after some time, i flash stock rom and charge again but still cant turn on.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kenaeny:
tryed to start the device after i flashed custom kernel, no sign of life :((((

flashed stock rom witouth kernel then tryed to start it, no sign of life!!

ahhhhh i hate it, not anyone with little more knowledge are helping us out of this ****!
[Sony Cross-Device General] kenaeny:
hmm strange, try reinstalling the drivers for the flashtool
[Sony Cross-Device General] tangosierra_:
Why are you flashing a rom thru fastboot?
[Sony Cross-Device General] kenaeny:
i only did flash a custom kernel trough fastboot thats all because i tought maybe why the phone doesnt start or charge is because of bad kernel

I have Xperia Ion.

I currently got bootloop while flashing a stock based Rom and i accidentally did Hard reset.

Now my phone does nothing. It does not respond to any buttons and doesn't show led when plugged into charger.

Please help me what should i do?

Update:

After 6 Hrs of charging i got no led on.

So i dismantled it and removed the battery cable and put it back.

Now i can see offline Sony charging.

Re

Hey same problem with my xperia ION. have you found any solution?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Keksdroid:
Nope, I dont really know what to do anymore...

When I repair with PC Companion I get Error 100 at like 98% percent :crying: I thought i was finally able to recover it but looks like the battery only lasts till 98%...

The strange thing is i get into flashmode by just leaving my phone plugged in the PC without any button pressed...after like 10 min it gets into flashmode automatically.

Problem with Sony Xperia J st26i after flashing

Hi, I have been trying to root my phone and install cyanogenmod for 2 days. I downloaded CWM image file from one of the threads in xda developers and installed the following ROM(zip file) in CWM recovery:

iodakX3_v07CM

The problem started after installing this ROM. My phone wont turn on, wont get into fastboot mode or flashmode,do not respond to any switch. I think my phone may have been soft bricked. As per the instructions from the thread i connected the phone with wall charger and left it for a day. Now when i press the power button, the led flashes red 3 times and goes off. What should I do to recover my phone? Should I leave the phone on the charger much more time to let the battery die?

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED

Set: Sony Xperia J ST26i

CWM version: Clockworkmod-6.0.2.5

Thank you soo much!!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Keksdroid:
What was your problem? What did you do to solve it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] utsav911:
what color of led it shows when plugged on?

Is Flashmode working for for you when you connect it to PC holding volume down button?
[Sony Cross-Device General] vinu9611:
When plugged in, nothing happens, no led. My phone is definitely not charging. No, flashmode is not working. Only thing that happens is, the led flashes RED three times when not connected to any power source.
[Sony Cross-Device General] utsav911:
did you try removing and reinserting the battery?
[Sony Cross-Device General] vinu9611:
Removed and reinserted battery. No change.
[Sony Cross-Device General] vinod.20r:
LED flashes thrice and phone switches off indicates zero battery.. 1. Switch off the phone

2. Let it charge to full.. I hope you can see the charging progress when the phone is switched off..

3. U should be having an unlocked bootloader.. Flash STOCK KERNEL WHICH HAS CWM.. by going into fastboot mode.. Don't flash any rom at this stage

4. In CWM connect your device using usb cable..

5. Copy STOCK ROM to the device using usb through CWM

6. Perform the necessary wipes and flash the rom.
[Sony Cross-Device General] vinu9611:
Thank you vinod for your suggestion, but the problem is the phone is not charging when it is connected to ANY power source. Plus it wont get into fastboot mode :(

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

Actually, what does the flashing of led red 3 times indicate? Does it mean the battery is completely dead?? Or is it an indication that the battery is going to drain out completely if waited much more time?
[Sony Cross-Device General] utsav911:
I don't know :(
[Sony Cross-Device General] tangosierra_:
You said that you flashed the ROM through fastboot in your earlier posting....

Have you flashed both ROM and kernel at once? Also what firmware are you flashing.
[Sony Cross-Device General] kenaeny:
i only flashed a custom kernel trough fastboot and original nozomi-recovery.img trough fastboot but nothing happend

I can flash both kernel and rom trough flashmode but have also no response

the firmwares i flash are stock lt26_6.1.A.2.45.world.ftf (ics) and lt26_6.0.A.3.75.ftf (GB)

I tried using Flashtool, but it always got stuck on "Reading Device Information". I did this procedure several times but it was of no use :( However, I downloaded Sony's official flashing tool 'EMMA'. Flashed my soft-bricked phone through that and now its working just fine! :) If none of the procedure works, I suggest all you people to used Sony's flashing tool, 'EMMA' :) :)

deleted roms from device and operating system

hey guys, I am having dificulty with my Sony Xperia SL, which has been recently updated to one of the custom roms, but when i went to wipe the phone to give it to a relative i accidently wiped the operating system and the roms that were on the phone.

The Phone has the TeamWin recovery Project V2.6.0.0 which came with the previous rom, I have tried to do a side load but cant get the drivers in windows 8 to comply so that i can use ADB sideload. I have installed JDK and Android platform tools and google USB driver. but i seem to be getting no where...

how do I get a rom back onto the phone so that its usable again.

so in a nutshell the phone wont boot into android,

I can get into recovery mode.

There are no roms on the device.

Cheers

Did u try using flashtool?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mrpea:
ill give it a crack, but the driver seems to stop me from doing anything with the phone.. ill let you know when i get home from work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] saathviksr:
Like I said earlier, if flashtool doesnt work as well, try using Emma. I hope ur phone has an UB, btw
[Sony Cross-Device General] mrpea:
i assume you mean unblocked? or unlocked? yes it is

Hii..PLEASE HELP ME OUT..i tried to discharge the battery manually by removing it from the phone and connecting it externally to a bulb..Initially the led was glowing bright.After 2 days it became very dim and I reinserted the battery into my phone.

now pls help me on how to fix this, led is on red light but my battery still not charging, is it software or hardware problem..?

pls instruct me what to do thnx...
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcyorian:
Nobody has a clue about the tricks on this post but applied to a Sony Xperia Z? HEllllp PLease!
[Sony Cross-Device General] utsav911:
you need to be patient.

put it on wall charger. During first phase the battery will drain even if its plugged in.

upon complete drain the phone will reset.

And it will start charging again while showing led notification of charging.

Let it charge till the led turns green.

Remember that this whole charging process takes huge time.(2-3 days)

Once sufficiently charged you can use flashtool to flash your rom.

Xperia ion bootloop

Hi,

My phone went from Boot loop to Hard Brick (after 3 vibrations of Power + Volume Up button) to Boot loop with Blank screen + Red LED after some time.. it just keeps going Boot loop and after awhile Blank screen + Red LED and the process continue.. What should I do?

I tried doing the Hard Brick (after 3 vibrations of Power + Volume Up button) but after a night of charging, it keeps going Boot loop and after awhile Blank screen + Red LED.

Help! :( :crying:
[Sony Cross-Device General] mcyorian:
the phone has been on wall charger for 3 1/2 Days .. still no red led! :(

Hey same thing is happening with me and even when my ION was in working condition I frequently get Ram Dump error as shown in attached image. can anyone help with this issue.
[Sony Cross-Device General] utsav911:
You estimate how much standby time a battery of 2330 mAh would have?

People with around 50% battery have reported red LED after 3 days.

So i guess it would be more in your case.

But if you are not ready to wait so long you will have to take it to service center.

You can also get rid of this first (Dead phase) by resetting the battery cable as i did with my phone. But i don't think one can easily dismantle an xperia Z :p

Did you try flashmode on PC?
[Sony Cross-Device General] MegaSharkXDA:
It doesn't enter flashmode, not even with the rubber band trick
[Sony Cross-Device General] oyhens:
Just let the process of flashing go on.. It can take up to 5 hours! (Or more)

Mine took 4-5hrs and was glad that it came back to life when I saw the flashing was completed!

Just keep your PC on and off the screen timeout to NEVER so that the process can run :)

Good Luck! :D

Hi guys. I've had big problems with my Xperia S flashed to Trinity Vengeance RaptorXL V3.8 VM-10.1. What I did was first root phone, than install CWM and than flash that custom rom. Everything went ok until first reboot after installation. Phone wouldn't boot! Only thing I could was to soft reset and hard reset via power button and vol key up or down and I got green or blue led and that's about it! I tried to flash original ROM via flashtool but what ever I did phone wouldn't go into flashmode. I left my phone all day on wall charger and I got red led but still phone wouldn't go in flashmode.

But FINALLY I did it and revert it to original ROM. My problem was Windows 8.1 and USB drivers. Fresh Windows 7 install on other hdd and instalation of drivers located in Flashtool-drivers helped me to get into flashboot! I've tried once more to flash Trinity ROM but than again no boot for my phone so I revert it to Original ROM. Now I have to install one more official update cca 30mb when battery gets to 50% or more.

So don't lose faith and be patient you will fix it. I was desperate but persistent. If I can do it so can you! For now I will enjoy it with original ROM. Cheers.

Hi again . Let me tell you something.

I took my phone to a technician . The technician uncapped the phone, take out the battery and the " revived " . Because according to him, the battery was completely dead. Then returned to replace the battery and try to turn on the phone . But nothing happened ! Then delivery tel me and tells me I'm telling this to pcs. I tell him on: If the phone has the wrong software , not turn the truth ? He stayed silent. I bother ! Take my phone and left.

Only charged me for " revive" the battery. Right now I have the tel loading , I'll leave a few hours .

One question: If the phone has bad software , do not turn right? .

Previously , about four weeks , take my tlf another technician . And he said that flashing with " success " . But tlf encendia not , why not load second battery . But now the battery is good. (according to the last technician that will take the phone) .

What should I do ? I leave it charging for a few hours ? And then try to flash ?

PD: Where I live , these technicians are not very good . u_u
