[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
My Xperia Ion is stuck at Sony Logo when i switch it On.

Nothing responding.

I kept the battery to Drain and now i plugged it to wall charger i get a solid red led.

I checked all the threads related to soft/hard brick but seriously im confused big time. What should i do now ?

Now my phone has been charging for 30 minutes.

i dont know what happened , is it soft / hard brick ??

i tried to restore my cwm backup and it showed successful. And when i booted this happened.

The screen is Off sometimes and it turns on and shows SONY LOGO. what should i do ? :confused::confused:

But when the screen is off the red led is on.

Please somebody help. I'm really panicking. i can't think properly. :(:(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
Think you are on XZX. Am I right? Try reflashing the ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
No bro.You didnt get the picture. My phone is not booting. Its stuck on SONY logo .

I was on XZX2 v2. But i reflashed back to stock. then this happened :(

im not able to flash .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
Use flashtools to flash a stock ftf making sure you choose the wipe options. Do not exclude anything.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
Now I get it. I thought you can go to CWM. Sorry.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
I can't get in to Flashboot option ( green led). When i connect the phone by pressing the Vol Down button the Led is RED and its solid.

The power button doesnt work, i mean i cant switch on the phone.

When its plugged to the wall charger , its solid red led and after sometime screen turn on itself and the SONY LOGO appears . thats it. I cant do anything else. Nothing responding.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xyge:
can you get into fastboot mode?

using flashtool,

select fastboot mode

flash the stock kernel

remove and reset the phone

enter flash mode

then flash the stock ftf

happened to me once... this worked for me :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Toledo_JAB:
A hard bricked phone won't do any thing no matter what is done. If a light or anything reacts then you have some level of soft brick.

Use the rubber band trick to flash back to stock.

The solid red led means low level charging. Low level charge is on until the battery level is enough to start kernel charging (battery icon screen)

When the red led goes out but before the phone turns on is the tiny time frame you have to enter flash mode. So you use a rubber band to hold volume down.

Read about the trick in my recovery thread in my signature.

From my Xperia LT28at ION :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
I kept the mobile connected to my pc with the rubber band trick, its been 8 hours now, still the Led is Solid RED.

Its not charging i think. flashtool did not detect the phone till now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
Long time ago I faced a same problem. My phone stuck at RED light. I just dissemble the phone and disconnect battery cable from motherboard and reconnect the cable. Then I hold power button and volume + button until 3 vibrate. (10 second). Now the phone is off. After that I connect phone to computer while holding volume down button and flash stock ftf.

Give it a try.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
That too i saw in one post. But i cant find any slots/screws to open and i don't have the right set of tools to open the phone.

right now im so mindf***ked. How to open the phone? :confused:

I have only one phone and i bricked that.

Edit: I found the screws, inside the two small covers on bottom and up right ? But i got no tools to open that screw :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
Which screw? Star Screw or Plus Screw? If you don't have screw driver you can open Plus screw using Knife and Star screw using Minus screw driver.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
Yeah its STAR Screw. Approx 7-8 total adding both sides.

Im not gonna open it, anyways i'm giving the phone to service centre. i don't have time to wait for the battery to charge / Drain or anything.

Hope they can fix this in matter of hours.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] luisoman2000:
For future reference, you will need a torx t6 ( or t5 cant remember exactly) for the star screws. The ion is easy to take apart, hope they fix yours.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] venom1553:
there is a solution

hey im minda new here but not new to rooting n so on.... i was attempting to root my ion lt28i with the doomlord kernel and when i was to flash back stock kernel i accidentally flashed it to system lol (i was sleepy)... but when the phone got stuck on sony screen i came here and was told the battery had to drain b4 attemping another flash i left my phone for half a day it was still on i got fed up and pressed the camera vol -, vol + and power keys all at once then the screen turned off.... i think i may have stumbled on to the hard reset procedure so for those who are stuck on sony logo u can do the same it works i feflashed stock jb rom and rerooted not life is great and all ir right with the world :angel:

ps for battery drain issues install setCPU on rooted rom and turn down clock it saves a tonne of battery hope this helped

At least they are trying to help out in the q&a section to get the 10 posts.

Most new users just spam the forum with useless posts.

Hey guys i just wanted to send back my phone under warranty because of emmc problem..

I wanted to close my bootloader, now i got the following situation:

Android boots up but asks password to decrypt the phone..

If i try to flash recovery or any partition nothing happens..

Every flashing procedure very very very slow (System 25 minutes) and after all nothing changes. Seems like every image is the old.

I Also can't lock the bootloader.

If I use fastboot oem lock the bootloader says LOCKED, then the next reboot its UNLOCKED again..

I going mad if I bricked my phone :S

someone has any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
i think you have a corrupted partition table
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsx82:
i think so...

do you have idea how to fix?

Now i booted temorary toteamwin Recovery.. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
it stoped at system

be sure that kies is disabled in task manager

change usb port

use original cable

wipe cache and data before flashing

repeat procedure

be sure battery is charged

make sure of md5 of the downloaded zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsx82:
Yes its stopped exactly the middle of the operation (around 50%) but after approx. 15minutes.. so everything going very slowly...

I already wiped everything but its always runs down in a sec, like doing nothing...

I dont have kies, another applications are not running but the browser.. its maybe not a problem.

I'll try with another USB but I affraid the emmc chip has died right now... This is why I wanted to send back the phone in warranty... In the last four months the phone was freezing a lot... once was in the service, but they sent me back and said there is no problem with the phone... after i started to try custom roms, maybe that solve my problem... but now was clear its an emmc problem, so i wanted to flash back to stock..and this is the end of the story :D i'm sad.:S If i send back with opened bootloader they dont talk with me...but i can't close
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
15 minutes!!! too much time!

i see that bootloader is flashed, try to lock it with fastboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsx82:
i did try many times but always the same

I see like LOCKED

after the restart it says UNLOCKED again :S

brrrr I'm very unlucky..

It would be enough good for me if i can set back the bootloader status

But I thik no of the images are flashed on the phone.. just look like its flashed..

if i flash anoter radio its also stays the same.. :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
so nothing is flashed! hard luck my friend :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsx82:
in team win recoveryi can't mount data and SD card partition

so i think my knowledge is no longer enough for this :DD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
you cant in gnex. if you want to push something, do it with recovery adb command

EDIT: did you try omap flash? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1760787
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsx82:
Yes I just tried now but nothing happened..

I did everything step by step, installed the driver etc.

i saw something happens on the console - like its okay.. but after the restart everything the same

I think the emmc chip died.. :) with opened bootloader :P

i have no more idea :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rkkaranrk:
Did u tried the ODIN again with another cable and on different USB port ? Changing cables and port do help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsx82:
thanks

I already tried both :S

its killed :) I would be happy if i can close back the damned bootloader... but i cant :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Try omapflash

Sent from my Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsx82:
thanks:)

I did try, unfortunately not helps... works, but not helps... My bootloader works, i can start the phone...but (I think only my bootloader works) :D

I think its a hardware problem... All the phone looks like "read only". I can't change anything on.

Few data is already on the phone it works, lets the android boot up, but request password to uncrypt.

Stock Recovery works, but can't fix anything. If tries to wipe cache, the phone restarts..

If i boot any recovery mod like "fastboot boot xxxx.img"

the xxxx recovery starts but having problem with the partitions.. Cant modify anything

From the bootloader I can't flash anything. Its just looks like flashing but in the background nothing changes...

it's the same with: boot.img, bootloader.img, radio.img, system.img, recovery.img, userdata.img and oem lock/unlock as well :)

But if someone needs a challange, I can try any ideas! or share my computer with teamview :)))))

Or you can try osmosis' bootunlocker script from recovery, which uses dd..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsx82:
hi!

i just tried now.

the script runs down, says everything okay and will locks the bootloader. after the restart its unlocked....

My phone really looks like read only... I was thinking on, what if my bootloader is closed, just because of some problem looks like unlocked... this is can be the reason why can't flash anything on the phone (just like virtually - nothing happens)

everything happened with the close/open procedure

is someone knows what's happening (in the background) exactly when I want to close or open the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsx82:
I did never encrypt my phone. I think its not really encrypted just asking for because of the missing partition

about root, If android boots up i cant accecs anything only the keyboard, keyboard settings and the password field.

So even if i have root i cant make sure about..

I dont know exactly if i start my phone with any custom recovery whats about root? From twrp recovery i see the system partition but can't modify on it. For example if i want to delete some file, it says "failed" ...not so expressive same with chmod. Maybe my phone is not dead for 100% but I almost sure in this situation need some very very low level recovery for the partitions. Maybe something like omapflash procedure, but I dont know how works. I have only that recovery script that not solve my problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsx82:
guy i have a strange news :)

I started up team win recovery:

fastboot boot recoveryimage.img

under the recovery i select adb sideload

then i get a command prompt

adb get-state

adb root

adb shell

i get a shell like root but... i have a strange prefix look liek this

/dev/block # ←[6n

i tried to delete files but after the restart they come back :)

can i make something with the partition from here?

i was playing with the console commands,

It was look like i deleted everything.. after the next restart everything come back again (with android)

thank you guys everything. i think i give up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
Sounding like bad memory. Have you tried fastboot formatting the partitions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Erasing them, then format

Worth a try, at this.

Sent from my Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nsx82:
Yes i did both.

some partition looks like erased from fastboot but not... After the restart everything comes back

anothers says error.

I also tried fastboot erase boot or system etc... nothings changes after the reboot everything the same... Its really like my phone is read only without notification/error message...

was the same from shell

some of them was look like deleted after the restart was there again everything

some of them says error to write/delete Sorry i dont remember exactlyfor the message)

some of them at deleting said i have no access for.. (i was like root)

I'll try to sell my phone for spare parts... I dont have better idea :)

But thanks guys for everyone the help..

btw: i still see a little chance to fix the phone on the way as omapflash works... but i dont know about anything, too difficult for me. I just see when the script runs down and writes an image on the phone, that is faster than fastboot flashing any images... so, seems a little more healthy. maybe i dont have true... I'm not surprised if the eMMC chip is dead and can't able to write anymore (anyway the phone was wrong 4 month long wit a lot of freezes). I was read about this phone, on the circuit board having two memory chip, maybe one of them went wrong, this is why the phone can boot, but another things dont works.. The partition table false..

Anybody help me, please!

After I tried to use i-mate ROM 1.72, I realised it had some big bugz that causes when U use/install some kinda' applications it freezes totally and when you want reset your device the XDA2 doesn't boot the system, and you just see the bootimage and booting stops. It happens accidentally not depends on you at first sight.

Ok, I thought, I restore the system after a hard reset from my SDCard with XBackup. But after restore (XBackup said: "restore is complete") that freezing happend again. Just the bootimage, not more.

That's why I downgraded the ROM to O2_1.60 and tried to restore my backup file on SDcard created by XBackup. It worked, but it has another problem: after restore process xda2 can't see the 'Storage' and 'Extended_ROM' folders although after hard reset it seemed.

In the registry (\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Storage Manager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC & TRUEFFS_DOC2) everything is normal and values the same than before the hard reset.

So, anybody has an idea what's happend and how can I get to visible this two folders ('Storage' and 'Extended_ROM')?
