Guys I need help. My SX Ion led is on red when I plug it on PC or in the wall but I can't turn it on. Every after 20 or 30 mins the Sony Logo pops out. But it only stops there, it will turn off again and show the Sony Logo again. Then after 1 min or 2, it goes back to that red led again. That's the cycle. I tried holding the Vol Down button while the Sony Logo is up but it won't enter the flash mode :( help guys.
[Sony Cross-Device General] engberts:
Please help !

Hi there,

First of all thank you for the many tips.

So here's the current actual state ....

- USB phone without any function.

- With the USB charging cable - permanently> LED RED GREEN ... then .... then permanently display Hing round lights on and off with zich ... repeats until the game starts from the beginning with durable LED RED ....

- Durable With USB to PC, then ... RED LED GREEN FLASH MODE.

- Power + Volume Up also works! 1x 3x vibration and vibration

- Flashed with flashtool last Ion firmware. -> USB cable -> device will not turn any function.

So I get both the flash and in the Fastboot mode, but only when the device is connected to the PC via USB.

I'm so slow at my wits end ...

[Sony Cross-Device General] Dev.7:
Did your battery discharged before completing the installation of the software.

If so you need to make a fresh installation via flashtools as your can enter flashmode.

thanks for the reply sir, but how can fix my phone sir?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dev.7:
Try uninstalling all the drivers related to the device and then reinstall them and make sure they are perfectly installed.

BTW which OS are u using on ur PC cause there is a specific way to install drivers on windows 8 and window 8.1 due to security measures. search the web for more info on it. Best is to use a windows 7 PC for easy operation.

And why do u press power button during flashing?

[Sony Cross-Device General] Dev.7:
First of all Don't panic.

Install the drivers from c:\flashtool\drivers

Check the box which states Xperia SL.

Scroll the list and check flash and fast boot drivers.

Start installing the drivers.

Then try flashing.

If using windows 8 just Google for not being able to install flash and fast boot drivers you will get the solution its a well known issue.

I recommended using windows 7 if you are getting complications.

I too have messed up my many time so can understand ur situation.

PM if the problem persist.

I will surely help you getting ur device back in action.

Xperia s red light

Hey

I have a problem with my xperia s, I can't start or flash my phone.

So it started with the red light (constant). I tried combination power + vol up but nothing happened. After red led turn off when I try power + vol up. I only got blinking red led. My PC don't recognize the phone.

The next day I removed the battery and charge it up to 100% at external charger, when I put it back,

- phone didn't start,

- I don't have red light anymore,

- combination power + vol up - nothing,

- the only change is that when I connect to PC and press power + vol up + vol down, computer recognize the device as "SEMC Boot device", but I cant flash the phone with flashtool.

I have only : "Device connected with USB debugging off"

Any suggestion ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dev.7:
Why are you trying a combination of power+volume up its for resetting the phone.

When you device is switched off keep holding the volume done button and simultaneously connect the device to your PC if it shows a green led you have entered flashmode.

Then try flash your device via flashtool

If your device can't maintain flashmode for more than few seconds try reinstalling the drivers from C:\flashtool\drivers

If you problems flashing check the flashtool thread or PM me.

For bit more info check post no 1380 of this thread.

[Sony Cross-Device General] NoobTW:
My ion is as the same problem as that Xperia T. Now I'm Charging it with EP850 for .... 35 minutes so far.

I hope it will be back..... (I'm worried because I've unlocked bootloader.)

But actually I bricked my ion two months ago and it was the same problem. I charged for 2 hours only with stock SE charger.

BTW, what will happen if I do a hard reset during the boot loop?
[Sony Cross-Device General] soudara:
hi

just soft reset 1 vibrate release button and quickly press up volume and hold with your ion conected to flashtool ready to flash during bootloot

working for me
[Sony Cross-Device General] NoobTW:

[Sony Cross-Device General] churchrickshaw:
I have similar problem with Ching.

My phone is charging now, with the blank screen on at all times, and the red charging light solid for 6 seconds then blinks and repeats this process.

.

I tried to soft reset by power up + power but nothing happens, i.e no vibration and it does not power off.

I tried to flash via flashtool by setting upt he firmware and entering flash mode. However, holding the power down button and plugging it into the computer does not enter flash mode (red light does not turn green)

Any help please??

LT28h, unlocked bootloader (hopefully this is not a problem)

Thx
[Sony Cross-Device General] HackitZ:
Ok 4 days of charging and still nothing.

I'm going to let it sit for a week and see if that helps.

I just get my phone back to life :))

This is how situation happened:

I went into CWM and accidentally format system. The rom.zip is corrupted so i couldn't flash rom (I forgot to make nandroid backup).

At that time my ion's battery just around 5%. I couldn't turn off my phone so i let it running til the battery is dead.

This is how i solve the situation:

After the battery totally drained out and the phone turned off, i plug it in wall charger.

then i see red light on, i keep it charging for around 15-20 minutes then i see green light and sony logo appear.

then i quickly setting up flashtool and get my phone flashed.

then i plugged the phone into wall charger and let it charge again.

then the red led turned on, after a while (15 mins) i see sony logo appear (around 10 mins)

then the phone restared,

then after a while i see sony setup. My phone back to life now.

Flashed custom repacked kernel.elf :( Bricked NO Power+VolUp

How did you recover it.

Mine was at 95% battery at 10:30 (Flashed Bad Kernel.elf and Brickkkked) and i have plugged in wall charger No LED .

How long i will have to wait, and what would be next step to get FLASHMOD?

Please Help

:confused:
[Sony Cross-Device General] jeriku:
You enter flashmode for ftf flashing, volume down and plug in cable. Fastboot for kernels, volume up and plug in cable.
[Sony Cross-Device General] markelON:
Recovered Mine .....Try Try Try. Dont Give UP !!!

I Flashed Custom kernel and got Briked (Boot Loops) at 9th Dec Morning 10:30AM

Did Hard Reset and phewwww Phone is Completely Dead Unresponsive.

then after reading forum Kept on Charging ,,Initially No LED Light.

After 12 hrs (Night 01:00AM) i Got Red Flashing LED RED , Flashing 5 second then Stop for 7-8 second then Flash 5 sec......Repeating

( Nothing responding Flashmod/Fastbootmod) tried Vol.Down / UP

Few Minutes Later LED became Constant RED.

After 20 past that 10th Dec 19:10 i removed it from charger and tried FASTBOOT/FLASHMOD No response again.

Then I LET THE PHONE PLUGGED IN THE LAPTOP AFTER 5 Minutes it started Boot Looping again.

Tried Flash/FastBoot Mods Nothing Mod Responded. After Few Tries Phone Became the Same.

THIS TIME SOMETHING CLICKED IN MY MIND THAT IF I PLUG IN THE PHONE IN LAPPY IT WILL START BOOTLOOPING AGAIN.

IT DID :D

NOW I TRIED FLASHMOD NO SUCCESS.

THEN IN BETWEEN KEPT ONLY ( VOL.UP) Pressed And BOOOOM It Went in FASTBOOOTMOOOD.

Soon After that i flashed Stock Kernel.sin

Then Restarted IT.

My Phone Showed SONY Logo and Xperia Soon After That. BUT when it turned on Battery was 0% And Itself Shutdown Automatically.Now i am CHarging IT with wall charger. I Know i resurrected my Phone Now I AM Feeling Like :angel::victory: I WON :D

So Here is the Thing For You Who Bricked His/her Phone Don't get panic, you will make your phone alive eventually, Keep Patience my friend & a good wall charger. Mine is ep 850 1500mA :D

I was Going to Send it back to the seller as i have seller warranty :P

But My frnd told bro w8 and give it few more tries....And Indeed It Worked And My Phone is Alive from Big Sleep So your's Would Be Alright Too.

Don't Turn On the Phone In Between this, just try Soft/ Hard Rest ( Vol.Up+ Power) / ( Bol.DOwn +Power) . Otherwise It will take more time to charge discharge and Phone will be unresponsive.

try Pressing Both One by One [Volume.Down] or [Volume.UP] In Between Boot Loops. You'll get FastBoot or Flashmod and then

Dont screw this chance,, Keep Kernel.sin and ftf file in Firmware folder of FLASHTOOL alwayz.

If you don't get Boot Loops Then Remove Usb Cable

After 30 Seconds Plug In To Laptop and wait For 5-8 minutes Still No then again remove for 30 seconds and put It to wall charger for 2 hrs.

And Then Retry.

Still No Success :( Don't Freak Out, Keep It On Wall CHarging for another Cycle ( It Will Drain Out Battery and Will Give Boot Loop Again)

-If you get Green Light Simply Unplug and try FLash/Fastboot Modes.

If Still No Response :( then Plug into Laptop for 5-6 minutes and See if above you get boot loops then try above steps.

BUT DON'T GIVE UP....

Many Thanks To People Who Have Shared Their Experiences Here.. Keep It Up Guyz.:good:

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Plug It In Computer and Leave it for 5-10 minutes

Does it Give Boot Loop If Yes then

try pressing Vol.Up or Vol.Down In Between Bootloops and Connect Cable to Computer

If you get success let me know.

Help me!

My wife was using the phone xperia ion and crashed.

Her phone has no root. It is factory original.

Pressing only the power nothing happens.

I tried to recover it with the soft and hard brink, but nothing happened.

When the plug into the outlet after 15 minutes the exact sony logo appears and flashes (just white and then yellow).

Right now I can do the soft or hard brink, but the phone will not boot.

I tried to fix it by ITS, but the computer does not recognize the phone by pressing the volume down + power. Recognizes only if I press power + volume up when the logo appears and the computer recognizes

fastboot mode (blue LED on the phone). When I try to send a kernel or any other file appears an error message stating that the phone has no root.

How do I recover my phone?

thank you
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
Fastboot, blue led, is only for unlocked bootloader. To get flash mode press only the volume down, no power button

Sent from my ION
[Sony Cross-Device General] markelON:
Bricked : try It

1 ) Did You try Flashmode after HARD RESET

To Do it Press Power + Vol.UP for a while untill you get 3 vibrations not single vibration.

Then Phone will be off completely.

Then Run Flash tool and select LT28 Firmware (Stock One or the one which you have tested earlier working fine) ---> No Final Verification

When Flashtool asks for Phone

Just Press Volume.Down Button and Nothing else [Keep It Pressed] and Connect Cable to PC.

Now Your Pc will recognize it as Flashing Device and Flashtool will FLash it.

If Not Dont get Panic. Try Charging for a more time and retry.

And dont ever press the power button only as your phone is having some booting problem it wont startup and will stuck for longer,

then you'll have to discharge - and recharge the battery

2)If you ever got BLUE light means you can also flash the phone.

little bit time taking way BUT YES ITs a SOLUTION

Firstly Extract the FTF File inside any Folder You want using 7Z utility.

Goto Flashtool

Click Big Thunder ICON ---> Select Fastboot Mode ---> Select Kernel to flash --> Kernel.sin File from the folder where you have extracted

----> Select System to Flash -- >System.sin from same folder

-----> Now Click ---> reboot device into system

But Make sure You have installed all the drivers from ( C:\FLASHTOOL\DRIVERS\Flashtool-drivers.exe)

Let Me Know If it Fixes Ur Problem if not then tell what exactly caused this and When did it happened

Don't Freak Out --> Its Time Taking But Works :cowboy:
[Sony Cross-Device General] aimakun:
Thank you, I reply lately because no sign to fix my phone, so I tried to send it to repair service in my country.

And today they call me to return the still bricked one back.

The problem is they couldn't flash stock because there are no idea to restore bootloader without online updater, I see.

And the battery is now remain 3-4% after they tried to directly charge, this make me serious because it required 50% remaining for flashing again.

So there are no way I can charge it because get a new one and take battery apart to charge in another phone is impossible.

I think I'll try again when I get my phone back, at least some 1-2% battery remains maybe some luck to flash kernel and charge function may working again. :crying:

Sir, what do you think is the problem of my xperia V.. i've went to cellphone repair shop already, they've reprogram my phone but it still not working.. still, when i open my phone, the SONY logo flash once and then disappear.. when i connect it to wall charger, the SONY logo flash once, then after 5seconds, it will flash and and go on and so on like a cycle... do you think there is a hardware problem sir? please reply

hey man, were you abble to fix your phone ?

Tnx
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
yea like 5 times now :D

each time it was caused by something different but each time I had to let the battery die.

Except the last time when it just froze for no apparent reason. I was in a time crunch and need my phone the next day. In that case I disconnected the battery cable for 10 seconds and then it just turned back on.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
Thanks :D

I have updated the link.

you have "BOOTLOOP" please read the first 2 posts for more information

No :(

Actually that is what caused it.

I missed entering recovery when rebooting my working phone.

I was trying to wipe dalvic & cache.

When I missed it I did a reset during boot. BAD IDEA, AGAIN

This is not the first time I have done this :rolleyes::eek::silly:

You would think I would remember?!?!

The phone went totally unresponsive, no leds nothing, plugged in or not.

I ended up trying to take apart the phone but could not find anything to remove the small torx/star screws.

Now in a panic, I just separated the plastic on the edge by the usb/hdmi ports. I had a very long needle and reached in the gap of the body and lifted the ribbon cable plug for the battery with the phone still together ;)

My first disconnect did not work, I think it was to fast to let the memory chips power down.

On my second attempt I held the disconnect for 10 seconds and reconnected.

Then I just pressed the power button and it turned back on.

I now know how to disconnect my battery with just removing the metal back cover. :D
