Hello,

I have an Xperia P that isn't able to boot.

When trying to power on I'm getting one vibration and nothing on screen (not even backlight)

When "powered on" SOFT RESET - HARD RESET works properly (I'm getting 1 vibration or 3 vibrations)

When i'm plugging a wall charger red led appears and stays on even though when unplug. To get this led off i must dis-reconnect the battery ribbon cable.

To do the following operations i got my battery charged from a friend of mine in his device because phone isn't able to charge (I think). I didn't let the phone plugged in wall charger more than 10 hours when was empty, after charging it i din't let the phone plugged in for more than a couple of minutes, because i'm afraid the battery drain (I can not find this friend easily to charge again...)

Device is able to connect either in fastboot or flashmode.

When I'm trying to flash stock rom (found in this thread) via flashmode i get stacked here:

I have this phone in this situation for about 2 months now :(

What can I do for this? Can I follow this thread's instructions? Is my phone soft-bricked?

Thank you in advance.

I am also not knowledgeable about these but the same thing happened to me. I just left my phone to charge.(wall charger) and waited until the light turns to green. It takes a long time and there's sometimes no light on the phone. But it's normal dont think it doesnt charge. Just connect your cable correctly and wait. When the light is green just use flashtool or pc companion to renew your software.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
[MENTION=4119675]nycdream[/MENTION] ideally the moment the phone quit from red light should be the moment where you have to connect it to the computer

I recommend you the rubber band trick

[MENTION=4968833]sotoskprs[/MENTION] check your drivers.. These should be the latest
[Sony Cross-Device General] nycdream:
Alright i'll try it. I'd have to update my drivers first because the first time i tried the rubber band trick, my pc says USB device not recognized. :good:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Royal hacker:
Not starting

Hi everybody.

I have sony xperia s (LT26i). A few days ago it fell and had a few scratches on back.

And it powered off. And shows red led only.

I read the op and tried the steps as follows:

1. Charged till i got red led.

2. Got red led.

3. Again left it overnight for Charging and in the morning the red led was gone.

4. So today I connected the phone in flashtool mode using rubber band trick.

5. I got continuous red led . I left it then for approx. 6 hrs.

6. Nothing happened and flashtool still stays on the connect phone screen.

Plz advice me where i am going wrong. .
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
Make sure you have latest drivers before proceeding with flashtool

If it still doesn't work, check flashtool's log for relevant errors
[Sony Cross-Device General] nycdream:
this exactly what happened to me :/ i tried draining my battery today and updating drivers still nothing.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Royal hacker:
I am on linux and i think i dont have to install drivers for that . So thats not a problem..

and as i said flashtool stays on the screen when it asks for the phone
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
then, you can only wait for the phone to quit the deep battery charging mode
[Sony Cross-Device General] :
That happens it's either you wait or do the process again.

Hello guys.This is my problem with Xperia P.I tried to update CWM from 6.0.1.2 to 6.0.3.0 in hope that I will get rid of that status error 7 when trying to install CM 11.Ok so what I did:i downloaded an update for CWM in zip format,i transferred the zip files to my xperia p internal storage then disconnected the phone from pc,then I booted the phone In CWM and from there I tried to update CWM by selectin install from zip sd card the zip archive.It said It was succesfull then asked for reboot and that was.After that the phone gone dead,no response from it even when I tried to power it on or to reset it by key combinations nothing worked.Even when I plugged it on charger nothing or in my pc usb.So when this happened my phone was rooted/unlocked bootloader and running latest JB build 6.1.2.A.100.So what I tried so far:i plugged it in wall charger for 6+ hours in hope I will get a life sign from it and nothing.Then I tried to disconnect its battery,i know its non removable but it has a cord attached that can be detached and I did it for about 5 mins.After that I reconnect the battery and plugged it in.Well I got a solid red led on it and I thought oh well it seems it worked but after exactly 15mins the red led goes out and nothing happens after it.At the moment I am writing this the phone already is dead by 24 hrs+.And yea I tried to connect it in flash mode for flashtool but not a sign at all.My pc doesn't detects it.So is there any hope left for my phone?If so please give more solutions.Oh and another thing it seems that after the red light goes off after 15 mins and I unplug it from charger and reconnect it the red led comes again and the process can be repeated.So should I try this way to charge it until it has enough power to do some responses?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
you should use the rubber band trick

just leave the phone attached to the computer with volume- pressed

On the computer make sure flashtool is ready to flash stock rom

it seems like a kernel problem (maybe it wasn't meant to be used with a stock based rom). So leaving ticked only the corresponding checkbox in the flashtool flash selection could be enough
[Sony Cross-Device General] DeusEx211:
But how much does it takes to go in flashmode if its not detected by PC.I let it in wall charger for 25 hours still didn't got t a sign from it.Only if I disconnect it from charger/usb pc and reconnect it back I get a red led for 14 mins exactly on clock and then red led goes off.By the way key combinations don't work at all.Not even a life sign.When I do key combinations like power+vol down or up or just power button I don't get any sings from it :not any vibrations or led light.By the way I could get the red led only after I detached the power cord from battery for 5 mins and reconnect it.So does my phone can be recovered or its a dead end.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
no surprise your phone does not respond when you press the buttons: it's out of battery

and this is why your computer doesn't recognize it

I'm quite sure after those 14 clock minutes you should at least hear the windows's beep sound when a device is connected (obviously you have to connect the phone there)
[Sony Cross-Device General] DeusEx211:
Nope I don't get any sound from pc when connecting it only red led on.

Sony T Problems

My sony T (lt30p) was booting up and was on the uk 3 image and my phone just cut out, once I powered it up was stuck on a bootloop so I decided just let die as was out, I then tried charging it all day but it would flash red and stay on red for a while and then flash green, this happened constantly but I left it. When I try the lastic band method my phone is able to the initial flash then an error appear showing "A device attached to the system is not functioning" pls help I need it back working.
[Sony Cross-Device General] DeusEx211:
Xperia P in service now.

Ok today I have taken my phone to a local GSM service.Let's hope by tomorrow I will have it back up and running.I hope that no more then an external recharge of battery is required and firmware flash.
[Sony Cross-Device General] brfr:
It's okay i have give my phone to SONY for repair it.
[Sony Cross-Device General] nycdream:
This is exactly what's happening to my XP :crying:

Could you update us and if they were able to fix it, tell us how they did it? Thank you so much
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
I will repeat: there's no way your phone can do something if it has still the red led on

So, first you'll need the wait until the battery charges... THEN, and only then, you can hope flashtool(and/or emma) will work
[Sony Cross-Device General] Prasad98:
Thank you !

THANK YOU !!!!!!

I had bricked my phone and went mad all over but after reading and trying out this thread I recovered my XPERIA J !:good:

[Sony Cross-Device General] nycdream:
Ohhh.. that clears everything up. So I have to charge my phone until I get a green light?
[Sony Cross-Device General] DeusEx211:
And when the battery is not charging what is left to do?

Oh and I still didn't got any answer from service because they didn't had the time to take care of my phone.It seems they are too busy to take a look at my phone so I will take it to another service next week.
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
it has to charge.. Some users have reported up to 4 days to quit deep charge mode. (I don't know why phones have this behavior though )

[MENTION=4119675]nycdream[/MENTION]

you don't need green light. Just the phone to show you the common battery charging animation and.. 10% of battery I suppose

then you are ready to flash

HELP : Xperia Z dead

[MENTION=3506348]Toledo_JAB[/MENTION]

( and anyone who can help me throug this )

hi

thank you for this perfect explanation for a bricked device

I have an xperia z C6603 that suffered from sudden death while on a charger ( it was 100% charged )

I could not get any respond from the device and tried many things like reset and connecting to a charger

( no screen on ... no vibration ... no led ) EVEN WHEN PLUGGED TO A CHARGER !

after many failed attempts to get something... I left the phone without charging for 3 days in order to let the 100% battery die .

now I have a red led when connected to a charger for 10 minutes then the led goes away and nothing happens !!

I believe it is the ( broken rom issue ) from your explanation

I waited again for the battery to die for an hour and then I set up flashtool with the rubber-band trick (volume down) and then connected the device

to the pc when asked to do that again the red led turns on for 5 minutes and then go away without anything happening

( no other led / nothing happens on flashtool)

so I disconnect the device without any patience

is it that I should wait for a certain amount of time in order to get the battery to a suffisiant percentage to make the flash start ? should I set it all up and go to sleep and maybe tomorrow morning it will be flashed ?? or should I try anything else ??

I'am hopping that I'm getting closer to the solution of this problem

thanks :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] DualElites:
Hello everyone. This is my first post here but I have been lingering around XDA particularly in Xperia S android development forum.

Today, I'm having a problem with my XS that it won't start up after i've done a few things related to installing new ROM in it. I'm not sure if it's bricked or anything but here's the full story and please tell me after reading:

My phone is as follows:

Xperia S

Unlocked Bootloader

Rooted

1) I was in my Recovery Mode (not TWRP as I was using a 4.1.2 JB ROM before) with a ROM installed.

2) Wiped Cache

3) Install ROM from SD Card

4) Successfully went through the ROM install wizard and installed it perfectly. I could've just used the ROM as usual but suddenly..

5) Then I went into Settings, I decided to do a Factory Reset (With wiping the internal storage too) <--- I thought doing this would only reset the current recently installed ROM and not wipe the ROM itself)

6) It reboots and bring me to the Recovery Mode page

7) I chose reboot my phone now option

8) It rebooted with the SONY logo on for a while

9) And then the triangle settings logo with a spanner and screwdriver logo show up. The screen stayed for a while like 20 seconds

10) And then it goes black..... and I can't get it start ever again (yet)

I don't know what on earth was I thinking doing a factory reset... that was dumb of me

That's how the story went... what should I do?

I've tried:

Holding the power button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything

Holding the vol up button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything

Holding both power+vol up button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything

Connecting the phone to laptop using USB to see if it is detected by my laptop but no nothing happened though (I did not press any button while connected)

I've heard from a friend that in this circumstance, I shouldn't connect the phone to laptop via usb yet and seek assistance first, especially pressing any button while connected, but I did do it once like I mentioned above. Hope that won't affect anything.

So at this point what has happened to my phone? Is this considered 'bricked'? Is it over for my phone now? Can I do anything to get it back running? Please help.

Thank you so much in advance for reading and helping me out.

My xperia s is not turning on and not charging too. Please Help...

I bought this xperia s phone on last year feb (2013). After two month of purchasing one day it turned off and was not turning on... After several attempt some how it turned on and i suddenly reinstalled android os using pc companion repair wizard. After that everything was ok.... But last week it showed the same problem... First symptom was turning off frequently without any reason... Then it showed battery drained even after full charging... Now my problem is when charger is connected it will go through low battery level charging mode. After few minutes it will start Kernel controlled off-line charging mode. But there is no Z symbol inside that battery... it comes only with red low battery indication... It shows not charging... What to do... Please help...

Before reading forum I had already tried hard reset, but didn't succeeded. Also tried to charge the phone for whole night but no use. So please help... I am waiting for a reply...

[MENTION=5412370]mouhaboo[/MENTION]

the rubber band trick was the right thing to do

but probably I didn't installed the right drivers. Check this and re-try

[MENTION=5726664]DualElites[/MENTION]

try to connect the phone to the laptop while pressing vol- button

You should at least hear the windows "connected device" beep sound. If you already have the correct drivers then, you could just proceed flashing stock rom via flashtool

Otherwise your phone is either stuck turned on or with discharged battery

In the first case you'll have to manually disconnect the phone's battery (thus you'll need to disassemble the phone), in the second (which is most probable) you should leave the phone attached to the battery charger for some time (could be even days at times)

[MENTION=5725831]Sachinsimu[/MENTION]

If you were using sony stock rom and you never ventured into the world of custom roms, then I would probably call this an hardware fault. You had better contacting the nearest sony repair centre

If for others reason you would like to repair the phone by yourself.. you have at least to quit the deep charging mode.. thus try coming back after at least 2 or 3 days with the phone connected (or as soon as it gives signs of life)
[Sony Cross-Device General] mouhaboo:
ok I'am going to install flashtool and try again with the new drivers but can you explain more about deep charging mode and how to get the phone out of it back to life ?? after 3 days left uncharged .. I plugged the phone and a red led showed up ( but no screen ) and when I unplug the charger the red led ((dissapear directly))) like the battery isn't charging at all !! is that deep charge mode ??

I asked some people who had the same issue with their xperia z ... they said leave the phone for the night unplugged and then plug it in for a long time ( 10 hours and more ) and it will boot !! some people mentioned that after a long time the phone has started to catch the charge little by little and then booted !!! is that possible to get it out of deep charge mode ?? should I try it first ?? or should I try flashing the updated stock ftf using flashtool first ??

thx

Bricked Xperia TL (LT30AT)

My phone was working fine and fully charged when I attempted to flash 4.3... The flash resulted in an error...

So now, here is what my phone is doing...

When I try to turn it on = Vibrate w/Green LED momentary flash, but no back light or logo

When plugged to the wall charger = Green LED (Blinks every once in a while)

Vol+ + PWR BTN = 1 Vibration

Vol+ + PWR BTN for 5 seconds = 1 Vibration followed by 3 Vibrations

When I hold Vol- and plug into computer = Flashtool says the phone is in flashmode

However, when I try to flash an ftf file, the flash freezes at 0% and Green LED goes off

I read the guide, but I'm still unsure what to do... Any help please?
[Sony Cross-Device General] mirhl:
make sure you have the required drivers

[MENTION=5412370]mouhaboo[/MENTION]

just put your phone in charge!

Then it will either normally boot or turn off again

In the first case you are done! In the second, you'll have to reflash stock rom via flashtool
[Sony Cross-Device General] surfsyco:
Iv'e been trying for weeks now to recover my Xperia S to no avail and I was wondering if anyone can confirm what exactly is happening when the red LED goes off when charging??

It seems to me that my XS is somehow stuck in a continuous charging cycle were it will charge for a few hours with the red LED on and then it will go off, then I'll un-plug the charger and re-plug it in straight away again and the red LED charging cycle will start all over again (I have tried for flashmode in between these cycles at countless different points, all with no joy)

When I connect to the PC, Flashtool recognises that the device is connected when the LED is off but not when it is on! which is slightly confusing to me :confused:

I am refusing to let this beat me and I'm convinced that it can be sorted lol

I hope someone who is having similar issues would let me know their experiences.

Thanks.
