Did you get Red LED immediately after you plug in a wall charger?

I am asking because I already did disconnect my battery, put it back after 5-6 minutes and plug in wall charger but no LED is lit.

EDIT

OK, here is the state now...

I left the phone overnight but couldn't get RED LED nor Flashmode. I return the back plastic cover and screws and regular SIM uSD cover and left the phone again on the wall charger. After half an hour RED LED turned on and I was happy to see some signs that phone is not dead.

After another 30 mins red LED turned off and I tried to get into Flashmod holding VOL Dn and connecting it to a computer.

No success

I return the phone to the wall charger and let it stay for a 30min more.

Same results.

Return it again to the wall charger for a few hours now and during that time red LED goes on and off few times.

Tried again Flashmode, Fastboot mode... nothing

Tried rubber trick for VolDn and also VolUp and leaving the phone connected to PC but still nothing.

What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have experience with Xperia SP?

Any help woud be appreciated
[Sony Cross-Device General] freedom74:
Still no luck and I'm running out of ideas...

The only trick that had some effect is rubber band over power button and on wall charger

After that when connected to the PC it found USB input device ??!???! :confused:

I think the thing is not about reseting, discharging, charging... it's about luck... or knowing when to try flashmod or fastboot

Because I tried to disconnect battery over night, so phone was reset

I charged battery disconnected from the phone up to almost 4V so battery wasn't low

then put battery back and plastic cover with earphones and antennas

and... again nothing.

So, if anyone of you 433 people of a poll have any idea I would gladly try :D

Red led blinking

hi,

i flashed C2104_15.3.A.0.26_India.ftf and everything was working fine.

I have unlocked my bootloader and flashed kernel Phantom v7-JB.

After installing the kernel, my XL looks bricked.

I am unable to turn it on and when i connect it to the charger it is showing 1 blink of green LED and after that 1 blink of red LED.

After that no LED, no vibration when power button pressed, no SONY logo.

Even i charged my XL for 1hr and it is showing no LED.

When i try to again install stock FTF via flashtool i am getting error ERR_DYNAMIC="0x80080021

[Sony Cross-Device General] freedom74:
Still no luck but keep trying :o

Left device 5-6hrs with rubber band connected to a PC with Flashtool ready... no green LED :(

But I've noticed something...

I manage to recognized rule by which LED is going on and off

Every time when started to glow, it has high intensity for a 5 sec and then lower the intenity

and it goes in intervals like 3min40sec red LED on and then 2min50sec LED off

and after 5-6 of this changes it goes for a long LED ON about 30 minutes

Maybe this intervals ring a bell on someone and maybe someone remember what is the right timing for trying.

:eek:
[Sony Cross-Device General] jamespoo:
thanks this fixed my phone
[Sony Cross-Device General] gian569:
can data be recovered somehow?maybe with diskdigger app after wipe?i have xperia P and it has no SD...

also...stock roms in the first page are multilanguage? thanks
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
They should be yeah.

And you should be able to recover deleted file with app like that or from a PC after you mounted /sdcard as mass storage
[Sony Cross-Device General] gian569:
thanks but i don't need this anymore...after i got bootloop,i left the phone connected to wall charger because i didn't have time to try to flash....and suddently this morning it booted normally!!doing backup now.... thanks you and the OP for useful infos!
[Sony Cross-Device General] pmsdhawale:
So here is my case with XS

I flashed carbon rom. Unlocked bootloader. It soft bricked my phone.

Yesterday I read the whole first page and decided to try rubber band trick.

At 6:00pm I removed the battery and plugged in back after 5 min.

Connected to a wall charger 850mA, NO RED LED when I connected.

After about 2 hours at 8:00pm, RED SOLID LED appeared but no screen, no soft reset after pressing volume+power.

So I kept it as it is on wall charger for about 2 hours while RED LED is ON.

At 10:00pm I disconnected it and connected it to computer with flashtool ready to flash stock kernel.

I connected with rubber band around vol down button, Still RED LED was ON the moment I connected the phone.

I woke up this morning about 9:00am and surprisingly the RED LED was OFF and flastool was still looking for phone, i.e. Kernel was not flashed.

I am clueless now what to do.

Please help!
[Sony Cross-Device General] kaygoingpro:

[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
I would try to reinstall the drivers from flashtool and reboot PC.

Then try the rubberband trick again.

Sometimes when I switch ROMs on my Xperia X10 I need to reinstall drivers for flashtools.

If that doesn't work you can read up about the sony flash program EMMA. I beleive EMMA is just for unlocked bootloaders.

https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Android-development/EMMA-Sony-Flash-tool-for-Xperia-devices/td-p/307318
[Sony Cross-Device General] pmsdhawale:
First of all thanks for reply. I will need your help for further problems. :good:

OK trying it NOW.

EMMA says no phone connected.

Is there any way to enable debugging on bricked phone?

It is connecting is USB Debugging off, If there any way to turn debugging, I can reboot to fastboot mode !

PS I NEVER GOT ANY VIBRATIONS ON SOFT OR HARD RESET NEVER!

BUT WHEN RED LED GOES OFF AFTER SOME TIME WINDOWS 7 RECOGNIZES DEVICE AS Sony Ericsson seehcri Control Device.

Maybe it'll give you a little hint.
[Sony Cross-Device General] pmsdhawale:
-I reinstalled drivers from flashtool folder.

-PC Reboot.

-reset phone by removing battery and then kept on wall charger.

-after few hours RED LED was ON.

-after few hours it went OFF.

-I started flastool and kept it ready in flashmode with 6.2.B.1.96 Kernel.

-I connected the phone with rubber band on vol-.

-after very less time (in 1-2 minute) PC detected "SEMC Flash Device" in device manager(same as previous :( )

-Also Flashtool detected it as phone with USB Debugging off :(

Anyone have a solution for this???

I also tried removing battery and connecting it back and the same time quickly connecting to PC with vol- pressed. Nothing happened. :(

I am out of ideas guys. Please help or at least tell me that its dead end so I can start selling its parts on ebay.

IDEAs..... [MENTION=3506348]Toledo_JAB[/MENTION] please.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
Did you ever try using the rubber band trick with FASTBOOT?

I have locked bootloader so I cannot say if it will work.
[Sony Cross-Device General] markelON:
Note down your IMEI number.

Download latest cynogenmod zip for your device.

Extract and get the boot.img file.

Now make sure to install semc flash/fastboot and Zeus flash/fastboot driver.

No worries If your device is not getting detected.

Install as a legacy driver.

Make fastboot cmdline tools ready.

Get unlock key from Sony unlock bootloader link.

Now pay attention

Try to get blue light anyhow somehow....

Open command prompt and type these two lines one by one in fastboot mode.

Fastboot OEM unlock 0xfce blah blah......

Upon success

Fastboot Flash boot boot.img

Try getting fastboot using the combination vol + power while rebooting / bootlooping / silent start from dead.

Don't loose hope it will come ;)

Not this time then next cycle.
[Sony Cross-Device General] pmsdhawale:
OK, I've already setup fastboot on cmd with boot.img and connected phone with rubber band on vol+.

This is last hope.

Initially there is RED LED on.

I'll keep it as it is for a day and will update here.

Thank you for response

This is the toughest part and key point of the whole procedure and you are saying get it anyhow somehow!! well I am trying :)

If you have any specific trick/steps that worked earlier to get into fastboot mode please tell me.

Thanks for telling me procedure step by step.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Toledo_JAB:
Well there have been other unlocked bootloader users that fixed it and did not fix it. You can search through this thread for help.

Like I said before I do not have an unlocked bootloader so I have no experience :(

Good luck.
[Sony Cross-Device General] markelON:
Use high amps charger if you have one( 1500 mAmps+).

It will allow you to get next chance frequently.

After completing cycle it should automatically give boot loops if not or you missed out that time or your device is not happy ;)

Follow this :

Just unplug the USB 2.0 end (PC, not the mobile-microUSB)

That's the only way I could get my ion to work.

As I could try switching the mode in bootloop.

While it reboots/boots in loop, it will give a bit display led backlit ( non pure black ),

May or may not show anything but while reboot/boot loop seeing display backlit is more important.

You may try switching mode quickly if you don't succeed with fastboot, try flash and vice versa.but be quick at this moment.

Coz if device doesn't catch the mode to communicate with pc .

It either reboots or boot in loop or goes for another cycle quickly.

(Priority fastboot)

Just keep phone and microUSB end connected always.

And do your mojo pojo with PC USB end

along with volume up or down.
[Sony Cross-Device General] FelipeRRM:
Hey people, I think I just bricked my Xperia ZL and I need help to fix it.

What I did: I was on stock 4.4.4 and wanted to use a custom ROM, so I rooted the stock 4.4.4 (Locked Bootloader), and installed this recovery: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2261606

The phone rebooted as soon as it finished and it went straight to the just-installed recovery. I already had the ROM inside internal memory, so I just flashed it, and after it flashed I cleaned dalvik and cache and rebooted. The phone vibrated but nothing appeared, and now it doesn't turn on and does nothing. Trying to go back to any working version at all, but Flashtool doesn't even recognize it anymore, it doesn't seem to go on flashmode anymore :(:(

This is the rom I tried installing: http://xdaforums.com/xper...t2885966/page3

Please help me guys!
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Hard shutdown your phone with power + vol+ for ~10 seconds

Then try to enter in flashmode (remember, just vol- when connecting to usb)
[Sony Cross-Device General] FelipeRRM:
had tried this before but didn't work, but then I found a very well hidden resset button and pressed it for 10 seconds and it worked!
[Sony Cross-Device General] Frayser:
The unbricking guide

Toledo_JAB

Thank you for this great job! I'd like you to add an unbricking option i discovered to the header.

I've soft-bricked my Sola by hard reset (supposedly) while starting up after flashing. Thus, no charging, flashtool couldn't read from the device in flashmode and couldn't flash any fw. What worked for me is repair with PC Companion. Honestly, I didn't believe it would help, yet it did and it took about a minute.

Thanks again!

If you can get to orange led, then no need to flash kernel you can already charge without problems.

Now let it charge for an hour or two

Then try to flash the whole stock FTF
[Sony Cross-Device General] rayanafshan:
