The AHD is more responsive and the screen seems to be brighter and more clear and the glass was already scraching and the gorilla glass on the AHD will not.

Well was nice to have your help for as long as we did. Enjoy your new device.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Spectre51:

The glass itself. It has several small scratches into before I turned it in, just 28 days later. That is rather poor scratch-protection.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zackspeed:
Does the Ion have the film over the glass like the Play did?? My Play scratched one day when I dropped it but figure I will just find me a high quality screen protector and replace it. Maybe some 3m product. I looked on the Ion and could not tell if it has it or not.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Spectre51:
Yes it does.

[Sony Cross-Device General] naplesbill:
The only way you could scratch the glass itself is if you removed the oem screen protector. You can't really tell its there until you know it's there. The X10 was the same way.

The included screen protector does scratch fairly easily and looks like scratched glass when it happens.

if my screen is stuck on xperia logo. NOT BOOT LOOP. just stuck there. (unable to hard reset) cannot turn phone.

is this soft brick?
[Sony Cross-Device General] 305nole:
I performed these steps and it worked one time but when I did it a second time, it bricked my phone. It won't respond to any thing. Can somebody please help?!?

EDIT: Sorry guys, I freaked out last night and posted this before I did my reSEARCH. This is my problem now, I've been charging for phone for >9 hrs and it still hasn't turned on. It took about 6 hrs to get the red led light. When it came on, it was solid and not blinking. Should I just be patient?
[Sony Cross-Device General] popfan:
You did not hard brick your phone. You will just have to do the steps all over again. Wait until the battery dies, then recharge and reflash. Make sure you battery is over 50%.
[Sony Cross-Device General] zackspeed:
Just be patient and persistent. It can be very frustrating but you will get back in.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ganeshbiyer:
That means the battery is not charged enough. Keep the phone on charging for some more time.
[Sony Cross-Device General] warfist:
God damn...now it doesn't boot loop...it's stuck in screen on. Should i just plug it in usb again? cause plugging it in wall doesn't show the red light?
[Sony Cross-Device General] ganeshbiyer:
Keep charging till bootloop starts again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Zirdark:
I am having also the same problem

When i connect the phone to the pc shows a red light, after a moment i get the boot loop, it does that for 5 or more times then it just get stuck in screen on.

It stays there until i disconnect the phone from the pc after some minutes it turns off

damn i feel bad since the phone is new, i got it like 2 weeks ago brand new :)

[Sony Cross-Device General] Zirdark:
how did you got fastboot mode?

i only get a red light then it starts boot looping but pressing up vol does not help me, i never get the blue light...
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
Do you get green led when holding volume down in between loops? I didn't see what phone model you have. Some models cannot access fastboot, blue led.

for me, I unplug from pc when it starts bootlooping and while the screen is on, I do soft reset (power+vol up 1 vibration) then almost at the same time press vol up and plug back usb to pc. Then get fast boot!

This works on LT28i

Thanks!

I was able to get it in fastboot mode, i will now try to fla****

this is what i did for the people having the same issue.

once you get the boot loop press power+vol up until you get first vibration, after that very quickly you need to plug usb to the pc while holding only the vol up key.

this worked in a xperia ion bootloader unlocked

Thanks everyone for your help. i got more experience now, i hope this helps to everyone else that have or get the same issue.

Remember when you get bootloop press power+vol up until you get first vibration, then very quickly connect the phone pressing vol up or vol down to get fastboot or flashmode, then you can fix the phone with flashtool. this worked for my Xperia Ion bootloader unlocked

Hi, I think my case is system partition is trouble. My bricked phone is xGo st27i, lock bootloader. I tried to flash GB, ICS, JB stock kernel and kernel GB of U st25i, unfortunately my xGo still cannot charge. After flashed, I plugged into wall charger, RED led came immediately and on for 30 minutes, then screen is on with white screen, no logo Sony, no offline charging. Battery is not enough power for flashing full rom as well using Emma or PCC. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you in advance.

Trouble in FlashTool.

Bricked my xperia sl this morning by wiping all device accidentally through twrp. Tried to repare it with FlashTool, iInstalled Advanced Stock Kernel using it. Now I have default logo Sony while Boot Looping. But trying to flash rom, I faced this problem:

And it's stucked. Nothing is gonna happen.

Guys, do you have an idea of what I have to do?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
If you have working twrp.. Why you don't flash a new rom?

You can mount usb storage or sideload rom too
[Sony Cross-Device General] Feuran:
Sorry, I'm not good in English. You mean, I should get rom installed from what? I have nothing on sdcard.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Mount usb means you can copy past rom from computer to internal memory

Sideload means you can push, flash, load, install rom from adb to recovery

Google is going ti be your best friend I guess

I could easily copy files using cwm, but have no idea of how can I do it rhtough twrp. Could u help me, please?

Hi sir could u pls help me ? im having a UB xzu c6833 with monxDIFIED ★ ZUltra™ (442.757) ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606414 ) which having soft brick now

i have read thru ur thread and also ( http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/disaster-recovery-getting-z1-zu-z-zl-to-t2229250/page18 ) for times, i used around 36 hours to fix it, but it is now dead again

and yesterday it bootup after i flash kernel and full stock , it boot into the homescreen with 1%

then i do some setup then leave it to charge, but then it off it self then then continue with softbrick again

i read thru many case and solution, but i cant rmb all of them but i find out that maybe i didnt let it charge until 50% *before flash full ftf *after kernel flashed succeed.

what i learned from this 36 hours is the soft bricked phone may start

1.the phone vibrate 3 times without red led blink

-i let it charge with usb and charge

2.a few minutes later the red led will blink very fast

-the more u charge the slower it blinked

-until the battery empty after >4 hours it will get the constant red led)

3.constant led

-will stay charging for 10~15 mins

-then can enter flash mode

4.with tiny bit of battery

-flash kernel recomended

-flash full ftf

thats what i learnt so far, please correct me if im wrong, one more condition is

-the led red and green blink for (0.5each)

-may get to fastboot for < 5 seconds which i assume it depends on the battery percentage

-may get to flashmode for <5 seconds

this condition show up

-first time i softbrick my phone

-after the succeed resurrection at 4 august 4am

my phone is softbrick again at same day 410am

i need a clear guide from i short of time , i having both exam and competition at the same time , this is i use to carry all my important notes and files and my case is quite different from the other which my set dont respond to the power+vol up and reset

what happen next is

1.red green led blink which can access to fastboot and flashmode shortly

2.only vibrate 3 times, no led, no hard reset also

3.connect to both usb mode and charger randomly 5mins later red led come back

4.red led flash rapidly

5.for charger red led blink twice and vibrate 3 times

6.for usb red led blink do not blink but vibrate 3 times

7.continue charge until the red led stay for 2 mins and go back to the (1.)

8.i re read all the thread again and i give up

9.and so i ask for help with expert like u

ps: i used rubber bank trick too in between

please please please give me advice thanks

Quick question

My girlfriends Xperia S ran out of battery and wont turn on, connected to charger no red led, after sometime the red led turns on but just that, further info is that the red led turns on immediatly when connecting the charger.

Any help ?

Tried the Power Volume combo but phone doesnt vibrate or anything just the red led
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
That's normal.

Red led means dead battery, so no vibrations too

Besides, the only thing is waiting for it to disappear..

Sometimes it takes even days
[Sony Cross-Device General] MotoXoom:
Weird behaviour after recovery.....

So i recovered from a Soft Brick and was able to flash ftf via flash tool.

Phone seems to be okay but here are a couple of things that are weird now

1. When charging with wall charger the screen does not turn off ("stay awake when charging" under developer options is off and screen timeout is 15 seconds) therefore not charging properly

2. When charging with a USB magnetic charging cable the status bar icons and the green charging light are blinking; battery will drain faster than charging.

3. Power off phone does not power off but repeatedly shows sony logo with green light on.

4. A forced Power off will turn phone off and charge okay until next Power on.

Any ideas?

I have problem with Sony Xperia SL lt26ii. Cant start phone. When I put a charger only have a red led.

And after some time telefon again turn off, and I got red led.

Do you have right drivers installed?

Did you tried the rubber band trick mentioned in the first post?
[Sony Cross-Device General] zocidj:
Yes, I install right drivers, and I pull out battery
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Well, if you already disassembled the phone and your battery can be easily removed, we are already in a good position..

I would try to charge battery inside a spare battery charger (one like this for example)

Then red led would disappear and.. probably you could gain flashmode (which frankly I don't know why it doesn't work for you)
[Sony Cross-Device General] zocidj:
I cant buy charger at this time. When I try to turn phone in flash mode i got this message in Flashtool:

Device connected with USB debugging off

For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Nothing really usefull here.

Again, did you installed right flashmode drivers?

Look inside flashtool folder and they should be there

Otherwise another option is using sony own flashtool

Can you fix this?

Few days ago I came back home from a trip where I took my phone installed with such a ROM in which there was a problem: When I connected my phone to PC, it showed me "USB Device not recognized!".

After coming back, I tried to fix this by installing a new ROM. I tried to connect my phone but same error was shown. Then I copied Kernel & ROM via Wi-Fi. After copying my phone was almost out of space so I was unable to backup. :rolleyes:

I cleared Data, Cache & Dalvik Cache. Tried to install the ROM and got "Status 7" error. Now I was totally locked-out. There was no OS installed or backed-up and the USB wasn't working too. :silly:

I tried every possible way to get my phone detected but it won't. Now when I connect my phone to PC via any USB cable it shows nothing. No Error or anything, the phone just charges. :(

I took phone to Xperia Service Center. They said they need to change the motherboard. Is it? Do I really need to change the motherboard?? :confused:

Oh! I forgot to mention: During my trip I also used an app to get my phone detected and that app really worked for just 1 time and then the problem started of not showing anything and just charging. Here is the app. P.S.: Some reviews also say that their phones are also no longer detected.

I have bricked my Xperia SP... :crying:

but reading OP and seeing this thread has over 200 pages I guess there is still hope :fingers-crossed:

I jumped to "disconnect the battery" trick and leave the phone for a few minutes. Then I connected battery back and cannot get into fastboot nor flashmode

Do I still need to wait or charge the phone with wall charger or ... :confused:
