Alright!!!!

Been charging all night....

I got red led...n it's constant... Not blinking...

Now should I start flashtool and put the rubber band...

Which all options should I select in flashtool... Coz my ta partition is screwed....

So exclude ta?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
I would not exclude ta if its available, it is not always there.

do a full wipe and exclude nothing.

If the flash fails, try to flash the bootloader relock file, it may fix the ta. I have know idea if this even does anything to the ta, but if nothing works then it can not hurt.
[Sony Cross-Device General] piyush95:
K man.....m so happy.... I'll do as you say.....

Edit:-I pressed the volume button using rubber band....

And connected the usb.....

M getting red led....

Not going into flash mode....

After five minutes.... The red led stopped... Now it's blank...

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

Still no led......

Maybe there's not enough charge for flash mode...

Perhaps I should charge more....
[Sony Cross-Device General] piyush95:
Still no progress....

getting only red led when connecting to wall charger or when connecting to pc using that rubberband trick...

I AM very desperate and already I do not see solution my Problem is: try To install the Kermel némesis portion of recovery and instead of the némesis unfells 2.1 unfell the némesis 4.0 That Not salio Wherefrom or since I am wrong on the question having unloaded it it is That at the moment of Restarting none It Ignites only the red led blinks 3 times and from hay it does not happen Trying portion flashtool and It does not connect me nor PC portion Companion. Some Help please AM desesperadoMuchas thank you in advance For if IT USES as algorithms the teachers Conectado to the light It does not manage to ignite the green led after 6 hours Connected and the red led yes Extinguishes to 3 or 4 Minutes of Being Connected to the Current To remember the mobile there is unblocked botloader PD - In THESE Moments I believe That ls this dead battery since Now
[Sony Cross-Device General] piyush95:
M getting red led immediately after connecting to wall charger or pc.... That means little charge is remaining...

So m leaving the phone as it is for one day....

Then next day I'll charge the whole day....
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
I hope you understand I can only suggest what has worked in the past.

You have altered the ta section and that can be fatal to phone.

The ta file can be edited without altering the bootloader lock. If you think you have restored the backup successfuly, then these methods should work. If you don't think the backup was good then that should be your goal if you get flashtool to flash.

Just some thoughts I had...:)

Good luck

[Sony Cross-Device General] tangosierra_:
No USB debugging is not needed. It's required for adb.

Check:

- You're not flashing kernel only

- You have a properly downloaded ftf

Otherwise you can change flashtool version

A flash of boot.img without settings a rom in the sdcard brought me here :)

- USB PID change so I cannot push file afterward

- When i forgot to enter CWM I was unable to simply reboot the phone

Anyway I manage to soft reboot, flash a ftf, restart my phone, put the rom on sdcard, reflash the boot.img and now I run 4.2.2!

Thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] piyush95:
You should unlock your boot loader first......

Go here

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

Then it will work....
[Sony Cross-Device General] tangosierra_:
1. You did not hard brick your phone. You can never hard brick a phone by flashing firmware except for isolated cases.

2. It's just that you did not flash the kernel. If you read OP it's only for unlocked BL when yours is obviously locked. And in flashtool your BL status is "rootable" so yes go to the BL unlocking site and do it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cities516:
First, repair your device using PCC or Update Service.

Then unlock bootloader, root you phone & flash CM10.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Gambion:
Hiya,

And thanks for the replies. It seems that Sony has made this whole thing much more complicated that Samsung...

Don't want to sound daft, but I'm having this slight problem with PCC: it doesn't offer me the repair option at all. Or the instructions for it (found here: talk.sonymobile.com/thread/54636) are out of date. All I get when I start Support zone are links "How to connect" and "Update phone/tablet". Selecting to update does not give me the list of phone models as it according to the instructions should. I tried some creative googling, with no luck finding more info on this.

And, of course, being impatient as I am, went on trying to unlock bootloader. Seemed to work, at least it didn't give me any errors. However, situation with flashing still same, flashing results in a bootloop, and fastboot still complains that the phone is not rooted.

So, any ideas how I could actually get to the repair dialogue in PCC? I guess until I get through that, there's nothing I can do to it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] tangosierra_:
You cannot use PCC after you unlock your bootloader. You have to flash a stock ftf file using flash tool
[Sony Cross-Device General] s-X-s:
Some +ve News... after week of trial n errors , today ( i got it bricked on friday 3rd) i got first response from my Xperia S. Device is recognised by pc and flashtool too but as usb debugging off... so i cant get to flashmode yet... But phone's red led is off now when connect to pc, but you can hear when i connect to pc the connection made sound from laptop....

So what should i do next ? i was on wall charger overnight n almost till afternooon with just constant red led... You dont need usb debugging for flashing i think... then why its not connecting in flashmode.. I think i'm nearly there.... Nearly made my decision to buy new phone, but decided to wait couple of days more..( was a good idea)....
[Sony Cross-Device General] piyush95:
[MENTION=4653923]s-X-s[/MENTION]

How did you get it....

I've not touched my phone for two days... Waiting for the battery to die completely....

I used every trick... Yet I only get a red led... Nothing else...

Not being recognized by pc too....
[Sony Cross-Device General] s-X-s:
i donno for sure... i got it last time i connected to pc after charging it from wall since last night and it was on wall before that as well (i took few times to test on pc).. I also tried pressing both volume up and down with power button and connected usb( but i dont think it worked - may be it has something to do in the whole wakeup - i seen somebody did this in this thread).. then i remember connecting to pc in fastboot (volume up and usb with rubber band) there was red led with flashtool set up for flash... i was listening to some music n suddenly i noticed drivers installing and heard sound from pc as u will get when something connected via usb....

But i already tried one reset- volume up+ power. i didnt get vibrate or any response by that.... but i then it got hard reset i think.. so i understood now , even if u dont get vibrate response , its being hard reset on pressing volume up + power buttons... now i have no 'recognised pc/flashtool' response... i put it for charging on wall again.... So no point in trying hard reset/soft reset when only red led i think- may be do it when u get bootloop( i didnt get it yet)... now i have some hope i will revive this one.... Wait and Patience the key....:p

Update: [MENTION=4782139]piyush95[/MENTION] I got more details on this... To get this response from pc , phone red led must be off (? dead battery), then connect in flash mode (volume down_connect usb) and release volume down button and after that press volume up. then you will see GGSEMC driver installing which is after pc recognise phone just as sound only and in flashtool usb debugging off...

I wonder what this GGSEMC driver is for.... Anybody knows ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Gambion:
Ok, that does make sense.

However, it still doesn't solve my problem. I can get the phone to both flashmode and fasboot mode, I can flash stock ftf, but the phone is still stuck in bootloop. What I don't seem to be able to do, is to flash just kernel in fastboot mode, flashtool complains that the phone isn't rooted, even though I did root it.

Additional problem: in addition of claiming not to be rooted, the phone also seems to have resetted USB debugging, at least flahstool says it's off. And I know it was on when I started...

It's starting to look like it's off to service, then. Back to square one and repeat until... :/
[Sony Cross-Device General] piyush95:
Even I got it....a "SEMC Flash Device"

N In flashtool it says device connected with usb debugging off....

It revived my hopes....;)

We can still hope...

First it was in coma...

Now it's out of coma.....n it's paralyzed...

Now we know that it can sense when we press the buttons....

:P
[Sony Cross-Device General] s-X-s:
I think its some key combination used by service people for something.... no use unless we get more info on this....:p it will be gone if u do a hard/soft reset ( i donno which as i dont get vibrate response)
[Sony Cross-Device General] piyush95:
[MENTION=4653923]s-X-s[/MENTION]

Yeah I did that.....i had tried the rubber band trick.... But no luck... Only that semc flash device....

Then I removed and did a hard reset... Then I got no response....

After charging a while... I've got red led once again...

Too bad we can't remove our batteries...

When my x mini was bricked.....i got the same thing....semc flash device.... But I sent it to the service centre...

But when my x Ray was bricked.... Just the same thing... No flash mode... No fastboot mode too...

Then I removed the battery.... Vol down+usb....

Went into flash mode....then inserted battery...

Instead of doing a hard reset try a soft reset.

With phone plugged in to PC with flashtool waiting, instantly hold volume down after soft reset vibration.

Well I softbricked my Ion for the second time.

I was running on a rooted, de-odexed, stock lt28i .68 frimware.

I was trying to go back to lt28i 3.7.

I did a factory reset and flashed the rom zip from CWM.

All went good until...... my DUMB ASS was in a hurry and instead of waiting for phone to restart I did a hard reset from the CWM main screen.

Well the phone turned off @ 10:00am eastern time on 5/18.

It has no response to anything, leds, buttons or charger.

As I know it is not charging when plugged in, no leds, no screen, no response at all. It now sits on the stock charger waiting for the red led.

Then I will use flashtool and rubber trick.

EDIT1: about every 2-4 hours I try the resets and plugging and un-plugging of usb.

after 10.5 hours still no responses from anything :(

EDIT2: 28 hours and still no responses :(

EDIT3: 38 hours still nothing. still pressing everything and moving usb from PC to charger, about every 4 hours

EDIT4: 56 hours and still no response :(

EDIT5: I HAVE RECOVERED :D

after 115 hours of no response. I woke up to find a red led. I left it on charger till after work. After work I found my Ion in kernel charging mode. Because I made no changes to my phone before soft brick once the battery died my phone started normally. I must say that I was getting worried. After my last soft brick a failed SIM unlock screwed my Xperia X10. I have had to use a SGH-a707 flip phone & no data :(

My phone (Lt26i) is hard bricked with red led. It's TA/mmcblk0p1 is damaged. Anybody knows how to repair it?
[Sony Cross-Device General] tangosierra_:
If im not wrong the MMC is corrupted so unless SETool works for xperia 2012 or someone figures out how to repartition then nope.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
Did you make a TA back using FlashTool before the crash?

If not maybe you could talk another user into sharing.

I dont know if a TA restore from a different user will work or not, but I think is the type of thing NOT covered by sony warranty

What makes you say mmcblk0p1 is damaged?

Were you modding the TA?

Xperia P - soft-brick or hard-brick?

Hi guys,

I have a Sony Xperia P that is now soft-bricked (hope it's not hard-bricked) after an apparently successful JB 6.2.A.0.400_World+Generic.ftf flash using flashtool.

After the flashing procedure, flashtool log read "Please unplug and start your phone" and so I did.

But the phone never started up:

. nothing happens when I press the power button

. nothing happens when I press power + vol.up for 3 seconds

. nothing happens when I press power + vol.up for 10 seconds

. the phone doesn't enter flash mode when I connect a USB cable with vol. down pressed

. when I connect a wall charger, the LED lights up RED for a split second, then turns off

. when I connect a USB cable, the LED lights up RED for a split second, then turns off

. when a charger is connected, and I press the power button, the LED lights up RED for a split second, then turns off

What I have already tried:

. connecting a wall charger for a long period of time

. connecting a USB cable for a long period of time

. leaving the phone unplugged for a long period of time - though I'm not sure when the power will eventually run out

. rubber band trick

Nothing has worked so far.

I've read the first posts thoroughly and I still need some help because nothing describes exactly my situation (I know I do have some LED so the phone knows when a charger is connected... but it apparently doesn't charge)...

Is there any other procedure I can try?

Thanks!

And I didn't find any help from sony and my operator to unlock it. I've tried and it is bricked. I'm sure it can be debricked but so far I've searched I didn't find any tool or method which is useful. There are many methods for samsung and htc phones (same MSM8260 chip) to debrick when boot/partition is damaged. But for sony xperia S I've found nothing. I also went repair shop and their tool not support this phone!! Sony wants to replace motherboard with >200 dollar though they can repair it cause it's a software problem!!! What the.....!!!

Mine was rooted with CWM recovery and XZXperience_2 rom. If you know anything please help.
