You need your battery in buddy, follow the steps in the pic, they are for the flash tool but the same principle.

I just had my first scare with the Xperia Mini...it constantly rebooted without getting past the SE logo, SEUS, PC Companion and the flashtool did NOT detect the phone....
so what I did was...take out the battery for about 1 minute. Make sure the phone is not connected to a pc/electricity and press the power button a few times, without the batter in. Now put the batter back in and connect the USB holding EITHER the top or bottom volume button, depending on whether you want fastboot mode for kernels or CWM for restoring...
Good luck!
Probably a faulty or wrong kernel I think...

Volume UP button enters fastboot.
Volume DOWN button enters flashmode.
Just turn off phone, click one of these buttons and connect USB cable. These been always so.
Reason for rebooting might be either custom ROM without custom kernel or faulty kernel.
Exactly.
And I will add this other:
You must press the right button when Blue notification LED on left corner will come up during booting, next you will have this 2 conditions:
Blue > Fastboot
Green > Download mode (Flashmode)
Hello, I'm new on this site, and already I need help.
Here is problem:
I rooted my Xperia S, and I regret for that (it's kind of slower, and I hate that) but beside that, I was trying to find solution to speed it up. U flashed the kernelV2, I mean that I think I was xD And then my wifi didn't work. So I googled up a lil bit, and find the kernel named "DooMKernel". I followed instructions and nothing, so I shut down my phone, actually reset it (holding POWER buton and VOLUME UP until it vibrates 3 times), and after that nothing, my phone wont turn on. As I remember my phone was at 35% of battery. And only hope that I have is, when I plug USB in my laptop, it makes a sound of connected device, and install SEMC Flash Device . I'm very afraid that my phone is broken, cause, I have it about 10 days, and I'm new android user. Don't take me too noob, I read lot of forums, tips, solutions, but in the end, I'm new in all this.
So, please does anyone have any solutions, what can I do? Please! (P.S. my phone is plugged in charger for about half of hour, without any response or light)
Thank you all, anyway.
Are you on ics rom? If yes doomkernel wont work
Connect phone to pc in fastboot mode by pressing power and vol up hold it till the first vibrate now release only the power button if the led turns blue flash the xsx kernel (example)
If you are on gb rom try to reinstall the system using pccompanion enter flasode by pressing power and vol up till the first vibrate now only push vol down and flash

Thank you for response.
I tried that, to put it in fastboot mode, nothing. My phone doesnt show any kind of led light in any situations (red when is in charger, blue in fastboot mode, green is flashmode). Only when I connect my phone on laptop it makes a sound of new device connected named SEMC Flash Device. I was thinking to fall apart my phone, to put out battery, maybe that would help.
It helped!!!! I didn't see your answer very well. Thank you!!! Is there anyway to put phone back unrootet, cause I don't like it, its kind of slowy

try this:
hold the power button + volume up then wait till it vibrates 3 times, your phone will power off,
1. install flashtool
2. download ftf
3. paste the ftf on c:\firmwares\
4. open flashtool then click the lighting icon, choose fastmode, choose ftf and wait until it says (power off phone then connect via fastmode), since your phone is power off all u need to do is to connect the phone and then hold the power button+ volume down.
5. then it will reinstall your firmware.
6.after installing unplug your phone then power it on.
voila its working now
Hello.
I have a U20i (x10 mini pro) and i installed a custom rom (sonystyle v1.1) and i wanted go to stock rom via reperation in pc companion.
The problem is that i cant enter flash mode any more. I've tryed in many ways (take out the battery , plug the cable and insert the battery with holding "back" key) but phone always boot and on the screen there is a charging battery and a yellow led
install SEUS and turn off phone on 30 sec witout USB cable, press and hold back key and then plug cable (you must hold pressed back key all times) program will tell you when u can release back key.
Still the same only charging battery icon and yellow led
Clean your USB connector from your cable, and dont forget to:
Pull of the battery for 5 sec a insert the battery, your phone must be disconnected from USB. Start SEUS and follow the steps, connect your phone holding back key.
Still nothing .
Once i entered flash mode. I connected the cable with holding back button and when the display turn on (before SE text) i pulled battery and inserted it quickly still holding back button. But when i want to do that again it aint working.
So basically when I try to go into Fastboot mode on my Sony Xperia Sola I hold the Volume up and then I connect the USB but the phone continues with a Orange/Red LED and then the Sony logo appears and bam it is in charging mode... My PC doesnt even detect a USB device(so it's not the driver).
But when I hold Volume Down and connect the USB I get a green LED...

Mybe you should hold volume up for fasboot mode.
Try use force poweroff . Press volume up + lock button until vibrate 3 time .
then try turn fastboot
You could try and do it from FlashTool:
Start FlashTool
Boot your phone up and connect it to your PC
Wait for your phone to appear on FlashTool
Click the lightning icon (Flash device)
Click Fastboot mode. A new box should appear.
Then click Reboot into Fastboot Mode (via ADB)
Hope this helps :
Hi there
I have recently been given a broken Sony Xperia Tablet Z. When the power button is pressed a red light flashes 3 times but nothing happens. When the vol+ and power is pressed nothing happens. When the vol- and power is pressed the red light flashes three times again.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Many thanks!

Hi there!
I've had on charge for a while now and still nothing. Would I need to be able to get into Download mode to flash with flash tool?
Thanks!
After charging the tablet for several hours, do this.
Press vol up + power button and hold until white led blinks 3 times.
(This will make sure the tablet is properly powered off. If after a long period no 3 blinks of white led, then it might mean that tablet state is already off. Press and hold just the power button and see if white led will blink just once then let go power button. The Sony logo should follow. All this is to see if tablet can shut down or power up properly or not. If it cannot do even the basic, then I have no idea how to proceed. This is why I don't trust my important data's in the internal emulated sdcard. I prefer my data to be in removable microsd. If tablet becomes dead and cannot be switched on, then any data that is stored in the unremovable internal emulated sdcard will be trapped. )
If you are lucky, the white led blinks 3 times it means that the tablet can be properly shut down, then ..
Then, connect a usb wire to the tablet. Do not plug the cable to the pc yet. without pressing power button, plug the cable to the PC WHILE you press and hold vol up button.
If you get a blue led at the side of the tablet, it means your tablet can be put into fastboot mode.
Do this first. I believe that once the tablet can be put into fastboot mode, then the tablet can be restored by flashing a recovery boot loader.
If you cannot get the tablet into fastboot mode, then I do not have enough knowledge about how to proceed. You will need to bring it to a service center for repairs.

Hi there!
Thank you both for your help! I can successfully get the device into fastboot mode.
When trying to enter flashmode the device flashes green then goes back to red.
Is there anyway of fixing the device?
Many thanks!
First thing you need is a recovery boot loader.
This link helped me but I use Ubuntu linux to install recovery boot loader into my Tablet z wifi. (I think it is also possible to do it in windows but you will need to install proper drivers)
Before this step, I also used Flashtool under windows 7 to unlock my bootloader. It is not difficult to use Flashtool and unlock bootloader but you must decide how important it is to you to backup TA before unlocking bootloader. In my case, I didn't feel I need SONY bravia engine, so I didn't backup my TA.
1. Use Flashtool to UNLOCK
2. Use Fastboot to install TWRP recovery loader
3. Download a Custom Rom (CM11/CM12/Omnirom./PAC) and save it to microsd
4. Boot into TWRP Recovery, clean data / cache partitions and flash custom rom from microsd
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/93490-soft-bricked-my-xperia-installing-cm/
To fix the problem, I downloaded CMB from http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=2463423. I unzip'd it, and used fastboot to install the boot.img: "sudo ./fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot pollux-windy/cmb/boot.img". Then I rebooted into TWRP recovery, and wiped/reformatted everything (including /data, which CWM wouldn't mount or wipe). I then sideloaded the CM11 ROM, booted back into TWRP, and installed CM11 from within TWRP. I ended up reflashing the CMB boot.img back on, even after installing CM11, and everything seems to be running great now.
Hi, same problem. Good answer was here : https://fr.ifixit.com/Réponses/Afficher/273255/black+screen+and+red+led+blinking+3+times#
In fact, my Aukey Quick charger did the thing: https://www.amazon.fr/AUKEY-Charge-Chargeur-Secteur-Samsung/dp/B01AHY1XAY
