Try one time without holding the power button. When I try to flash something I never hold the power button (just the volume rocker) and I always get into flashmode and/or fastboot mode
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid8840:
why u r pressing power switch for fast boot??

fastmode = hold vol up button in switched off condition + putting usb in phone

so simple!!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfad666:
Do not touch the power button at all. When the device is completely switched off, use your right hand to press and hold the volume button. Do not release it, continue to hold it. Use your left hand to plug the USB cable into the phone, but continue pressing the volume button. The blue light will now show that fastboot is ready. You can now stop pressing the volume button.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanostray:
First of all, don´t disassemble your device. Your problem is software-related, not hardware, so don't touch anything around the motherboard. The Red Light you see, I don't know what it means. But if you can just connect in normal mode and flashtool recognises your device, there is nothing wrong with the drivers. Find out what the red light means and you'll probably find the solution with it

Try this: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-SP/my-xperia-sp-not-starting/td-p/345765
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfad666:
You could always send it here and I could try to fix it, but otherwise the way you describe it your problem is very strange.

the best thing will be to go to a Sony service centre and pay something for them to look at it.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Light4e:
I had the same problem after flashing a stock rom using sony update service

I think It was all about a dead battery and you can't charge it untill you boot up the system or flash another kernal.

so what I did:

I plugged the charger for abut 2 hours first there was a red led then its gone

I unplugged it and turned on the phone and it worked for me

but the charge was 0% so I immediately plugged the charger and now it works great.

I hope this will help you.

Hey,

I had a similar problem with this phone. Phone would not turn on, going on fast boot was not possible, etc.

I held the off button for 10 sec, then pressed the down volume + power button (while connect to osx). A green light appeared. I opened Flash Tool and noticed that I was connected in flash mode. I flashed the stock tft for the phone and everything worked out.

Hopefully, this helps.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tech N You:
While flashing Rom you weren't having USB debugging on in the first place. having USB debugging off won't let your phone work.

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

First of all if you have a nandroid backup then try to restore it via PC.

Search the XDA forum and you'll find a thread for this and follow steps to recover nandroid backup if you have it.

OR

Go to flashtool and connect your phone when it gives error USB Debugging off, This confirms phone is recognized.

Open adb in connected mode to xsp and then type some commands how to activate usb debugging via adb, use search now

after usb debugging gets activated then disconnect your phone then switch take out back cover and press back yellow key for about 20-25 secs

If everything correct after 10s phone will vibrate three times. If it doesnt just relaese after 25s.

Now connect your phone via flashtool in flash mode and hold volume down key and enter flashmode and then flash new ftf. You're done.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roventh:
Hi everyone! I've been having kind of the same issues with my SP. Long ago, I think it was in March, I updated my phone with AU Generic 4.3 Jelly Bean. It was new at the time and official update for UK had not been released. So, I updated the phone with Flashtool. Until then I've kept receiving updates and last week a new update has been released, I think It was .206 update and the notification told me to connect my phone on the PC, apparently it could only be updated by PC Companion. Anyways, it has started downloading the update, but my phone wasn't connected yet. When it told me to connect it, I did it, and somehow I couldn't update and my phone restarted. And then, while I was trying to figure out what was going on the phone screen caught my eye and it shut itself off. Since then I couldn't be able to turn it on. I tried all the button combinations, including the yellow reset button. No response from the phone. I tried charging it, connecting it on my pc, nothing.. I checked the topics on the internet, I charged it for a long time, 3 days or so.. When I woke up in the morning, red light was lit. I checked it in 4-5 minutes it was turned off. Another five minutes it was on again, then it was of and on and on.. I unplugged it and tried the power button. Red light started to blink. I tried volume + and power button it blinked, volume - and power button blinked again. I tried to plug it on the pc nothing happened. I used hair bungee on the volume - button and tried to use flashmode on flashtool. I waited an hour nothing happened. I took the hair bungee off and tried to connect it without pressing any buttons, I received a notifications sound from windows, it was connected for 2 seconds then disconnected again. So, basically I tried everything but couldn't get any solution. I can't flash it. Anyone knows a solution?

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeknight11:
I faced similar issues with PAC but I managed to fix it.

You really need a lot of patience and steady hands.

Here are the steps -

1) Leave phone on charge overnight.

2) If flashtool can detect device sometimes then there are no driver related problems. If it can't, you need to reinstall drivers for the device.

3) I had this strange issue where I couldn't get into flashmode. It took me a lot of trial and error and patience to get into flashmode. Around 7-8 tries. You need really steady and fast hands. I pressed the tiny button behind back cover using a pen and simultaneously tried pressing volume button, i guess it works only at a particular time. They should be pressed together (i guess).

4) Also try using different usb port on your laptop or a different usb cable. Damaged ports or cable may affect flashing.

5) You need to really have a lot of patience. Dont lose your calm and make sure you are following flashing guides properly. Dont miss a single step. This is how it worked for me.

I hope you guys manage to get your devices working again. All the best.

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

In worst case scenario, if nothing works for you and if you believe your device cannot be fixed by you. Do NOT open it and try to fix it yourself. If you have warranty, take it to the nearest sony service centre and tell them that you were updating the software via sony pc companion and suddenly the software lost connection to device and your device no longer works. In case the damage is bad, even they wont be able to detect what happened and there's a huge chance they will fix it for free. If they do manage to find out that you flashed a custom rom, they'll obviously inform you that you have lost warranty and you'll be charged for repairs, at that time it's your choice. You can pay and get it fixed or take it back and try repairing yourself.

i also had same problem today

i had installed cm12.1 based rom

it had only cwm recovery...... rom is smooth

when i tried to installed tangerine kernal 8.0 using this recovery phone refused to load up

later i found tommos recommended twrp

along with that i flashed twrp rec too

but nw i was stuck,,, when switched on it will show only tangerine's welcome screen (this comes only wen u install this specific kernal) then it would go in bootloop continuously

also i couldnt go in bootloader menu and i think all my recoveries got wiped

so i connected my cell with laptop to use flashtool

to connect via flashtool hold power down and plug usb in

green led was glowing and phone got connected

but after 40-50 seconds it will automatically restart (this is i guess bug in all cm LP ROMS that even wen cell is off and if u connect it via usb to charger or computer it automatically tries to boot up )

as cell restarts flashtool will desconnect the phone and u cant flash firmware

so i couldnt flash anything

den i downloaded stock ftf files for my sp model and tried to flash using same method

but again failed

it would come as "preparing files to be flashed"

then in 30 seconds phone will boot up

and it will get disconnected

after severAL tries i decided to keep it plugged in to PC

i switched off the cell from back of panel

then it got connected again phone automatically restarts and gets discoonected from flashtool

THIS TIME I switched off the cell without disconnecting usb immediately

as i switched off the cell connected back in flashtool and the stock firmware files started to reinstall

After this it did not restart on its own

after full installation it automatically got disconnected and msg came as to restart your phone in flashtool

first boot takes time to load and then there you go with stock 4.3

everything works fine your bootloader is still unlocked

try with patience u will succeed

one thing important

before ur cell gets hard bricked and in ur restarting attempts ur battery is draining a lot

so charge your cell for several hours before u install stock framework so in the process it will have some juice to work with

P>S> i am loving stock sony styled 4.3 so keeping with it

Well guys sorry if I look redundant, if a moderator find it to be "same thing again" than previous posts I don't mind you deleting the post.

It is not to complain though, it is a question to know wether my problem is a software or a hardware issue.

I encountered the black screen issue on my XPeria Z1 two times now since Friday (I got it brand new by then). But I encountered it in two exactly similar situations :

-I had light multitasking like Messenger (Facebook);

-Notification Center telling me something;

-Each time, I was about to write a SMS to the same contact.

Is it just an Android bug? I run the stock 4.2.2 no modifications no root whatsoever, I'm already amazed by the phone at its standard state.

I run a C6903 BH90F serie. As I said in another thread, very very slight Yellow hue but bright and clean screen, no other issues encountered during the weekend.

Should I return it to Warranty? Or can I solve this black screen by software?
