I flashed a faulty recovery using mobileuncles and there was no signs of life other than a red led liggt, and holding power + volume up works just fine and it went into flashmode.
[Sony Xperia C] TacoNikky:
I have the same issue.

I organized xperia light rom for our xperia c, I flashed it from custom recovery. Phone is completely dead now.

There is a just red light, phone does not go into download or fastboot mode. Pc Companion, Sony Update Center, Wmshua Flashtool do not recognize the phone.

Any suggestion with that?

I don't have warranty, my last option is to pay money for technical service.

[Sony Xperia C] seiferfury:
I have experienced this too, however, instead of using the Sony Update Service, I used the Sony PC Companion. At first it was not working, so I did a hard reset on the phone (press the button at the back). I held the power+up button while inserting the cable, and finally it was detected by Sony. It will reset your device to factory settings though.

It worked for my Xperia M (rooted on JB 4.3) with a locked bootloader which was STUCK on bootloop screen and when I did the whole thing with holding the power and volume up button (after I let the battery die after so many bootloops it did), FINALLY I was able to take it to flashmode, while I had selected from Sony PC Companion to repair my phone, and after 3-4 tries, I DID IT!!! :D :D :D Thank you so much for this thread ( I DEFINITELY pressed the "thanks" button), it really SAVED ME time and money (because I was planning to send it to Sony to fix it and you ALL know how bastards Sony is)!!!!

dear friends please help me. I wanted to install cwm recovery with mobile uncle tools. when I placed recovery.img to phone memory(not in any folder), it didn't find the file, but when in sd card(not in any folder) it succesfully find. I selected and flashed, but the phone shut down and didn't start anymore. yesterday, when plugging to charge the red light under the screen was blinking. but today, it just stays on, not blinking, but after some time, goes off again, and start blinking. when I connect to PC, first it connects, after some time connection is lost and green light passes to red again, after some time it again connects. I tried Sony Update Service and PC Companion, didn't work. Please help...

[Sony Xperia C] choxx:
Does that mean phone is dead?
[Sony Xperia C] chauhanjayc:
no all you need stock kernel

you can either google it or download ftf and check all except kernel

done
[Sony Xperia C] choxx:
Bro, I have ftf file. But it will install only if the phone goes in the flash mode i.e. it will show green light on connecting with volume down button pressed. But this is not the case. It is not going into flash mode. Only RED LIGHT glows after connecting and nothing else.
[Sony Xperia C] chauhanjayc:
red led indicates your phone is on

you need to turn it of

now to trun off there is several method

keep holding vol + and power button together and wait till you get 3 small vibration now your phone is off

or you can place you phone and charging and keep holding vol+ and power button until you get single vibration after that wait for some time and disconnect charges now your phone is off

or you can connect your phone with charger and press reset button and wait for few secs. now your phone is off

once your phone is off and ready to connect in flash mod
[Sony Xperia C] choxx:
I tried this too, but nothing works. Tell me what to do now.
[Sony Xperia C] chauhanjayc:
is your phone charged

to confirm place your phone in charging for at least two hours

then try all above methods
[Sony Xperia C] choxx:
Ok, I'll do that too.

But in your #2 post reply, you said that if wrong recovery is installed then there is no way to boot in any mode. I think I have installed wrong recovery from this link https://www.facebook.com/ForumAndroidIndonesia/posts/562804347164798

If that is true then my phone is dead. Is it? Or it still can be recovered?
[Sony Xperia C] chauhanjayc:
if i am not wrong then reflash new recovery is possible on any phone

more over i had made some inquiry in contacts in india they charge 150 for software issue

so you can also visit sony center near by they will also help you
[Sony Xperia C] choxx:

Requirements:

1. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have downloaded Sony Update Service and have installed it onto your PC from the link above, if not, do it now.

2. Now launch Sony Update Service and select Xperia C in the list and then press Next.

3. Hold the Volume Up button and plugin microusbcable while doing so, if that doesn't work for you, hold power + volume up and plugin the microusbcable while doing. Keep holding button combination for a few seconds and wait for a green light on your phone, if it appears check on

your PC so that it's detected.

4. Wait while the firmware is being downloaded and reinstalled on your phone and enjoy your working device!

Exactly same happens with me. Neither Sony PC companion nor WMSHUA is able to carry on with driver installation. I have tried all different key combinations but all failed. It gets detected, WMSHUA starts installing drivers but after approx 10 seconds red light blinks and it gets disconnected and within a second gets connected again. However, driver installation does not proceed.

I have been searching for it's solution but have found NONE. :(

Xperia C2 Red Light Of Death

Hey Guys,

So as i have done research on all the steps you have provided it seems like there are many ways that this device Xperia C2305 can be bricked in many ways . We call this the *Xperia C2 Red Light Of Death*

As i recommend you to use the original stock rom after flashing a themed rom you could have bricked your phone i will not help on that but if you havent done anything and your phone simply doesnt start that could mean it needs a JUMPSTART like if you have lost power to the device the charging wouldnt help you , the green light appears when u press pretty much all the buttons.

Step 1 : Remove the back Panel off the device

Step 2 : Hold a pin or something to press the hard reboot button

Step 3 : Connect the power cable + press the power on button + press the hard reboot

Your device should start if YOU HAVENT BRICKED IT BY FLASHING WRONG THINGS

[Sony Xperia C] J.K.R:
i just have this same problem but the red light wont go even after i catch up with the buttons is there any other way
[Sony Xperia C] subhashvnr:
how I solved for my case

I flashed a wrong recovery.img and that's it the phone wouldn't boot. If I connect to pc companion it just shows blinking orange light but is not detected. This is what I have found out

1. the phone is struck in a bootloop which drains all the battery -- Press the hard reset button at the back of the phone to break from this loop

2. Put the phone on charge for a while ( now it should at least show a steady orange led indicative of charging) as this is needed for software repair

3. Use software repair in sony pc companion for restoring stock android os. -- if the phone is not detected when you plug in while holding volume down key, then release the key once and again press and hold it while the usb is still connected (this worked for me)

4. once the phone is detected and repairing has started the process may fail in between and pc companion may say repair failed!(don't loose hope) -- disconnect from pc, press hard reset button again and repeat steps 3 & 4. ( the repairing process will resume and will be completed slowly)

Note: If your phone is struck at sony logo or is not fully switched off press and hold the power+volume up key together to first switch if off and then connect to pc companion
[Sony Xperia C] gradd:
what exactly is red light of death? i have xperia c and is bootloop on sony logo. im not sure also if its charging while in bootloop state so i was thinking the red light indicates only low battery.

also, under the power button, the membrain was missing so i cant press it to power. what solution i came upon is to re-seat the internal battery. just to make sure the device is completely off before going through pc companion
[Sony Xperia C] gradd:
update

so now i think im experiencing like everyone else, i put the phone on charger and led just blinking red. no sony logo appears. i think ill try the pc companion method

btw, are there any way i could chargevthe phone? thanks

If you have recovery on both devices you can just backup on one and restore on other device.

You can restore system only without data and apps.

Google for tutorial, if you need ftf and can't do that with recovery.

They are Stock, no recovery, no root, I have to connect via USB and extract the FTF. I googled for tutorial and I get one for X10, Z and ICS but was not really helping and they are not for Z1 so if you can just semplify the search posting the right link or app for Z1 I will appreciate it. :)

Thanx.
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
So, nothing there.

I'm not sure for link, I just said - try to Google.
