newbie here :o

hope you guys will help me

My phone is xperia p and i think it get soft bricked

here is my log before my phone get bricked

first i install nemesis kernel and also enigma custom rom and its all fine wihout any issue

after several restart like the instalation guide, i install a new font by replacing android original font using adb

ps:before i install this new font in this custom rom,i already install a font in thp kernel but original rom-------->these two are differnt font type so i can't conclude either my last font that i install incompatible with enigma rom or enigma rom can't installed a new font...

after that i got my xperia p always bootloop,because iam a noob i reflash the kernel (from nemesis to thp) because i hope it could fix then i undo this action again so my xperia p get the nemesis kernel

and also i reflash recovery kernel(i forget the name) but the kernel still has thp boot screen so i don't know wether it success or not but my cmd said it succeed

at this point i still can access my cwm and i do cache clear,dalvic cache clear internal storage clear but still no result

i tried to reinstall the mod using adb push function(i follow this tutorial:http://www.themobimag.com/install-rom-using-adb/)

tried this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1628421

and also this: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android ------ this i use the three last technique

but all failed because it can't detect my phone

the last thing i do is installing sony original rom using flashtool and it failed and here is the log

This level is successfully initialized

Mount USB storage, copy your desired ROM onto the SD, wipe everything and flash it.

same paroblem with my XPERIA ION , while flashing it says, turn on and check USB debugging and unknown sources, but how can i check them in setting while i can't ON my ION.

Any solution ?

[Sony Cross-Device General] kenaeny:
gonna explain my problem:

after messing up with custom roms i wanted to go back stock rom and after i just messed up my XPERIA S...

-tryed to flash a stock ftf trough flashtool but my phone had allready connected on pc with flashmode (green led on) so flashtool did recognize it in flashmode

-i then tryed to flash the stock ftf by drag and dropping it and waited

-the flashtool didnt flash it after about 10 minutes of waiting so i unplugged my phone....

-then tryed to connect back with volume down button but no luck after 3 days of trying i couldnt get it back to life.......

this wasnt my first time flash with flashtool, i did it before almost 20 times but one thing i may did wrong is while the device was in flashmode i did try to flash it and when it whont flash i disconnected my device so it bricked....

so what i did are:

-charged the phone for more then 8 hours then tryed to connect in flashmode = no luck

-noticed after i plug it in to wallcharger or via usb the red light comes directly on but after 10 - 15 minutes it go's off

-then if i press the power button the phone vibrates but nothing on screen, nor connects it to my computer/laptop

-after letting it rest after 10 minutes that red light appears again, but no life or charging screen

now the working part:

-again after 10-15 minutes red ligth go's off

-now i tryed to hard reset, then trying to connect in flashmode it works i can flash the entire rom

-but after flashing finished i unconnect the phone from usb and press the power button green light flashes (ending flashmode) notting appears on screen...

what did i wrong or where is my problem?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
did you keep charging it after the flash was good?

Plug in and see what happens.

Try resets
[Sony Cross-Device General] kenaeny:
yes, after flashing is done in flashmode (green led) i do press the power button to end flashmode (the green led flikkers and the phone vibrates once) then plug it to wallcharger or usb on my laptop, the red led blinks after a while but then go's off after aprox. 10-15 minutes

some may interesting notes

-when its red led i cant get into flashmode, fastbootmode or cant do soft-hard reset i must wait 10-15 minutes (plugged) after the red led is off
[Sony Cross-Device General] techno_rock:

[Sony Cross-Device General] kenaeny:

[Sony Cross-Device General] techno_rock:

Hey Toledo Jab,

Here paroblem with my XPERIA ION , while flashing it says, turn on and check USB debugging and unknown sources, but how can i check them in setting while i can't ON my ION.

After flashing is over , i pulled it and try to powe it ON but no response from my ION and when plugged in to wall charger it shows strong RED LED and after 16+ hour charging it goes off and I still cant ON my ION

Any solution ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
Please read, flashtool doesn't need to see the phone or have usb debugging or have unknown sources on.

JUST DONT CONNECT THE PHONE UNTIL TOLD TO CONNECT PHONE.

From my Xperia LT28at ION :D
[Sony Cross-Device General] 03parth:
I have tried that but it didnt work for me. In flashtool Exclude TA is not there for me.

My firmware is 6.1.C.1.105

Model LT28i

Tried to flash with same firmware and with 6.1.E.3.7 , but both didnt work, Like after 100% in flash process it says to pull the cell and says to ON it but it is not getting start.

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

And also let me know my stock firmware

Before going in OFF condition my ION in setting showed

Model : LT28i

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem, whereby my XS is stuck at Sony's Logo. Previously i did download Doomlord ROM JB preroot, went for CWM, ummounted /system and installed.but It didn't work,So i repeated back the process. Then it goes error: cannot unmount /system. I did reboot XS and now its stuck at the logo. What should I do?

p/s: Sorry for my bad English.
[Sony Cross-Device General] ARNOB:
It's a soft brick. Leave it charging in the wall charger till you see the red led. Then follow the OP for instruction.

Note: This might take long, really long.

so the big lession for those all who want tryout custom roms is FIRST CONNECT YOUR PHONE THEN UNCONNECT IT WHEN IT ASKS FOR IT!

my biggest mistake was i didnt connect first, i prepared the flashtool for flashing then i made the mistake connecting the phone which it killed...
[Sony Cross-Device General] 03parth:
My XPERIA ION is not turning ON. I have tried OP Instruction but it didnt work for me. In flashtool Exclude TA is not there for me.

After 16+ hour charging my ION is not turning ON just give strong RED LED from initial charging.

so please help me out from it.

Any one has any solution for my ION?
[Sony Cross-Device General] tangosierra_:
Since you can get to the Sony screen...

Can you charge in red LED, download the kernel ftf file, flash it in flashtool (first prepare file, then connect in flashmode) it shouldn't require too much battery since kernel size is small. After successful flash, put it on the charger, all the way, then flash the full ROM.

[Sony Cross-Device General] WitchMX:
I think my case is similar. I wasnt paying attention and I flashed a ROM for UB in my LB device, it is bricked. when it charges enough it turns itself on and gets stock in the SONY screen. When I get everything ready to flash and go into flashmode the phone turns itself on again aborting the flashing process

Do I need to flash stock kernel or any kernel will do? Previous to the soft brick I had a Generic Rom rooted
[Sony Cross-Device General] kenaeny:
if the red led is off unplug it from pc/laptop then try to hard reset and there after hold down the volume button then connect it, it works so on mine xperia s

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

guess we both have the same problem

look here what i already did without succes
[Sony Cross-Device General] dangeradit:
even if your Xperia device is 20 % charged you can try these instructions(only in the case where led fails to turn up and phone doesn't starts)

-hold the power key and volume down button (power reset)

-you ll get 1 vibration but make sure you hold it till you get 3 vibrations

-then connect your device to flashtool in flashmode you can flash stock firm.

finish :good:

Hi all

I have a xperia st26i from a friend and Phone is death..

I don't like to read all the 84 pages..

Hi guys, im using xperia S, its stuck on Sony logo, i am able to use flash tool, flashed the entire rom and it finishes successfully however when i power on the phone it goes back to Sony logo until battery runs out, tried different LT26 FTF's still no luck, I drained the battery, took about a day before red led showed then a few hours for it to power on, I tried to flash again still stuck on Sony logo although flash tool completes the flashing process...Please Help

I just noticed on flashtool under current device it is still showing my old (.45) firmware, i don't think flashtool is doing any flashing although it completes with no errors, are there any alternate ways to flash a new firmware?
[Sony Cross-Device General] tangosierra_:
Are you sure you are really flashing the whole ROM, what is the name of the file. Also you can try a different flashtool.

[Sony Cross-Device General] cities516:
Weird.

Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?

What have you done to your phone before? Root? Install tweaks?
[Sony Cross-Device General] sathisharchian:
hard brick

Same problem for me also...but got fixed..

1. plug the battery cable into the slot and charge for 1 hour.

2. make ready the flash tool in pc and select the rom which u want to flash.

3. when the flash tool asks to connect the phone, press volume - button for few seconds continuously and just press the power button once and green led will flash. again press the power button once and see if the green light again flashes..

4. now release all buttons and connect to pc...the pc detects the phone and flashes it..(flash with stock rom first)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Mbuso:
Bootloader is unlocked, i was restoring a backup in recovery it gave me an error, i think it was a md5 mismatch error, when i tried to reboot to system it was stuck on the sony logo.

No difference.

Just flash the stock ftf file with flashtool.

You sure that you flashed the ROM completely ?

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 PM ----------

No Bro , You didn't get what im saying.:(

My phone wont Turn on when i use the power button but when it is connected to the charger ( wall or USB) the phone gets on by itself and STUCK at SONY logo. The phone is not detected in my PC or by flash tool. SO flashing is not possible for me.

Its been weeks now. Its now in a Repair shop don't know they can make it work. I will have to buy a new phone it seems.
[Sony Cross-Device General] sathisharchian:
did u flash with the stock rom?...if so make a hard reset....if not booting again..unplug the battery cable and plug again...and turn on the phone..it should work.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

press the volume down button continuously and press power button one just one time after 5 to 10 seconds...green led will flash...repeat it again for two times and your phone is in flash mode....now flash it with stock rom...it worked for me.

hey dude been having the same problem with my xperia z..

just wanted to confirm on what you mean by this ? "after 115 hours of no response.I woke up to find a red led" .. was the phone connected to a wall charger or with a rubberband for flashmode or just left unplugged at all for 115hours? :) just curious on which i should go for .. 100 hours of phne being charged or 100 hours of being left unplugged?

thanks

xperia z not working

now going into the 2nd week of not being able to use my XZ

phone status:

when plugged on the wall charger red light comes up for about a good 3-5mins then will disappear (what does that indicate?)

when connected to pc with flashmode and flashtool = sometimes gets the same red light for 3-5 mins then will go out too.

message about MTP mode on and debugging off ? = are those bad things ??

sorry guys im just not really sure what to look for ?

is it better to leave the phone connected on the wall charger for another 100hours or leave it on flashtool for 50hours or just leave it completely unplugged for 1week? :)

and by the way i have opened the back portion to disconnect the cable of batter from motherboard? still no progress..

please my good XDA champions help me :D

thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] tangosierra_:
If you connect your phone and it displays debugging off bla bla bla it means you are not in flashmode.

If you did things correct, it will say "Device connected in flash mode".

Also I think the red LED going off is due to the phone not charging beyond low power charge, so the battery drains, and the phone starts charging, etc. I nay be wrong I did not read the OP in detail lol.

For me when I get red LED will flash Kernel ftf, get the phone to charge to a proper level.before flashing rom

I'm panicking

Hello everyone. I have Xperia Acro S and some minutes ago I decided to change firmware... My CWM said that it's ok and rebooted phone and then nothing. Stupidly I've already tried all button-combination and results I have there:

When I use wall-charger - phone has no reaction such as led or display.

When I press volume-down and plug usb - led becomes green for 5-7 seconds, also it becomes blue for 5-7 seconds if I press volume-up with usb.

If I press volume-up with power button it vibrates 1 time, and then, after 4-5 secs, it does a triple vibrate.

Cuz of panic I can't think clearly so I don't understand what I should do, please help me if u can.

Calm down and read the first post, a simple flash of stock firmware should do it.
