I have a rooted x10 mini pro and i flashed it a lot of times. Yesterday I tried to install another rom, but when I tried to start the mobile, it always displayed the Sony Ericsson screen (you know, all black and Sony Ericsson in white). I thought if i let it load a lot of time, it'll run, so I had the mobile on with that screen all night.
In the next morning, when i woke up, I tried to turn on the phone, but it didn't start. A red light appeared three times and it didn't work. Then i connected it to the computer, but the light appeared one time every three seconds.
Ok, I solved it connecting the mobile phone to the charger, not to the computer. The red light appeared a few times more, but then, it turned orange, and i could start it again. Of course, the first I did was start the Recovery and change the rom!!

Hey everyone. This is a quote from androidforums.com it is not my own writing, but this is my exact problem.
"Hey everybody, i recently bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia x10i and thought i should root my phone, using the following tutorial:
Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware! - xda-developers
So, i was following the steps and after i completed step 5, my phone refused to turn on. At first, the phone would initially vibrate like normal and the LED light would turn green, but then immediately turn off. 5 seconds later, the phone would start constantly vibrating with a black screen and the phone would become unresponsive. To turn it off i had to remove the battery.
I then downloaded the Sony Ericsson PC companion and tried to repair my phone. However, it did no good. Now my phone does the initial vibration, except this time the black screen would lighten up slightly and just stay like that.
I then attempted to charge my phone overnight and when i woke up it just flashes 3 red lights where the LED light is.
could somebody please help me? i only bought my phone 3 days ago and would be a COMPLETE waste of $600 if i was unable to get a replacement phone due to the void of warranty due to rooting.
Is there any way of fixing the phone? If not, is there any way of removing any trace of me rooting or attempting to root the phone (without turning the phone on since i can't) in order to use my warranty?"
My phone has now gone so flat (and doesn't seem to charge) that i can't enter flash mode.. although it was working last night before i went to bed and i did manage to update it using SEUS. But it wont boot up properly. Any ideas? I have noticed that there are a few other people that are having the same problem.. but no one seems to have a solution.
I have also noticed that it runs in a loop. When i plug it in the red light flashes for a while, then attempts to turn on.. and does the black screen for a while. Then it runs out of battery and goes back to the red flashing light. then it repeats.
Hope you can help. Thanks.
Have you tried flashing new firmware with flashtool?
As i tried to explain above.. my phone wont enter flash mode as it is too flat. And it wont charge. when i take it off the charger and try and turn it on. it flashes red three times then a break then three times again and so on.
Any ideas on whats going on?
would it be possible to still claim in on warranty as it wont start properly and wont connect to the computer.
My girlfriend's X10 mini won't start anymore, so i bought her a new Xperia Mini. But i'd like to get however this one working again.
THE FACTS:
- Phone won't turn on in ANY way.
- Battery seems ok. I also disassembly it and cleaned the contacts.
- If connected to a pc, i can Hot Reboot and see the red led blinking, but it won't work all the times. If connected to a wall charger phone seems completely dead.
- Sometimes red led blink also if i hot reboot with phone disconnected. Sometimes.
- Only once, having power+home pressed, phone vibrate and my pc seems to recognize it. But it stock on installing peripherical driver and when i released home button to have a hand free for the mouse, phone disconnected.
- Neither Pc Compainon, neither SEUS, or Flashtools can recognize phone when plugged with back button pressed. It seems it cannot enter flash mode.
I searched and tried EVERY SINGLE thread, but nothing seems to work.
Am i doing something wrong, does someone have an idea, or may i consider this phone definitively bricked??
It sounds to me like your battery is well and truly dead and buried.
so, changing the battery is the way. ok, i'll try
Use the battery which is fully charged....then use SEUS...... Then u will get ur cell back....

a few days ago, I installed the CM9.1 v6 from scritch's thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987130
at first, i used the kernel v5 and it was working fine. 3 days ago, i downloaded and flashed the v6 kernel. 2 days ago, I left my phone charging at 47% for an hour or so, when i came back, i saw a black screen and the screen as well as battery was extremely hot(around 35-40 degrees). I tried switching it on but it showed only the kernel logo 'X10 never dies' and then again black screen after flashing blue led 3 times. I waited for 5 minutes. again it got extremely hot. I pulled out the battery and kept it aside for 5 minutes to cool down. after that i tried several times to switch it on but every time i got the same problem and i had to remove the battery to cool it down. at night, i kept the battery out from the phone only. I thought it would work in the morning. But yesterday morning I couldn't even switch it on. I connected it to the charger(an original SE charger with original USB cable). After connecting to the charger also, it heated up instantly but there was no display on the screen and it wasn't charging. I have been trying to charge it since yesterday(using charger and connecting with pc also) but it gets EXTREMELY HOT every time without charging or switching on. Please help me!
What should I do???

the phone is neither switching on nor charging.....I cannot connect it to computer also.....I cant put it in flash mode for connecting to flashtool....nothing is happening except it starts heating gradually after connecting to charger.....((
Tips to connect your phone in flashmode if there is no green light when you are trying to connect it to flashtool:
1. Press back button while plugging it into your computer USB port.
2. Do not release back button and press power button once while you are pressing back button.
3. Green LED light should appear.
4. Release back button when your phone is detected in flashtool.
(MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED)

I charged the battery fully using an external battery charger. When i connect it to flashtool, the green led glows but as soon as i select the file to flash, the led comes off and it starts heating again. I tried using Sony Update Service also to repair it, but as I click on next after connecting it, the same happens, green led goes off and it starts heating up.
Please SOMEBODY help me!!!!
I downloaded the Stock firmware from the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749426
I downloaded the India Generic Kit 1237-0692. I tried flashing it through flashtool but between 14-15%, the flash mode just goes off and the phone gets disconnected. Now, the condition is worse than before. Earlier, I was able to switch the phone on and see the 'Xperia Never Dies' screen from scritch's kernel. But now, nothing is there. Everytime I try to flash generic firmware either thru flashtool or SEUS, the green led goes off and it gets disconnected.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME FIX MY PHONE. I HAVE NO OTHER PHONE TO USE.
I dont really understand what your problem is

You should select the FTF file first then you can connect your phone when the flashtool ask you to connect your phone...
your steps are wrong... the same thing goes to me too when i connect the phone before i select my desired firmware file...
please attach your flashtool log
Here are some suggestions my friends note had a similar problem:
1.Try using a new battery maybe the battery fails as it spoilt and can't handle strain(my friend had this problem)
2.Since your phone won't do anything u can try go to a store and say I don't know what happened and ask for help
3.Did you try entering recovery and flashing a Rom or nandroid backup. Your question is not very clear.
Please let us all know what u did to solve the issue.

Hi,
I have been using xperia neo L for quite some time now. I have not faced any problems with it till last week.
My phone got switched off suddenly and it went on restarting continuously.
It switches on shows sony logo and then logo of xperia and it again restarts.
I then reinstalled my phone using the update service.
My phone worked fine again for 2-3 days.
After that again the same thing happened,suddenly got switched off and it gets restarted.
This time logo of sony appears, after that immediately it gets restarted.
So again I did the same thing, i.e reinstalling,worked well again for 2-3 days, after that same problem happened.
This time I cannot hear the vibration while switching on and no logo appears.In fact its not switching on at all.
Red light that blinks while connecting the charger is also not shown
I cant even try for a reinstall this time since while connecting the USB and holding the back key no response is being shown.
Can somebody please help me out??
Since i dont have warranty for the phone, can somebody let me know what the real problem is and how can I fix it??

If your LED doesn't blinks while connecting phone to computer, then there is a chance that battery might have drained out... Blindly charge for an hour.. Press and hold the 'back' button on your phone... Then try flashing the phone... All will be good if LEDs work fine... Else it'a hard brick... If flashing is not working out for you, then you need to go to customer care... Suppose if the phone works now and if you are not rooted and your bootloader is unlocked, then I recommend you to root... Sony Official ICS is not that smooth on Neo L... So root, unlock bootloader because anyway you are out of your warranty... Then install custom kernel ROM.. There are so many custom ROMs for Neo L... Good luck...
Hi, everybody. Need your help.
Yesterday, midday (when I expected the phone to ahve 70%+ charge), I suddenly noticed my Xperia C5 was off and would not turn on. (By the way, I recently installed Android 6.0 about a week ago).
I assumed something had caused the battery to drain completely, so I went home and plugged it in.
Red light activates, goes out, vibrates, comes back on, and stays on. After 20-30 minutes, still no activity (not even the charging percentage), so I research on this forum, and others, how to recover the device.
Two-button power-down did not work, so I downloaded the Xperia Companion and followed the instructions for Software Repair.
The PC / Companion doesn't recognize the phone at first, but following the software repair instructions, holding the volume button down before plugging the the USB into the computer, the green light (on the phone) came on, and the software repair process commenced (automatically).
First attempt at software repair failed, so I tried with a different USB cable. Second time was a success, and Xperia Companion was able to successfully reload software version 29.2.A.0.122-R3B.
However, I still cannot turn on the device. I have now left it charging for the past 2-3 hours, and it's still in the same state as before the software repair.
I noticed one odd quirk: If I press and hold the power and volume-up button, the red light goes of, there is a medium vibration, then three strong vibrations, before the red light goes on again. Then nothing else happens.
Any advice on how to rescue this C5?
Thanks!!
Sorry - I should have put this in the troubleshooting thread...
Just an additional interesting piece of information:
If Xperia Companion is NOT activated (i.e., not loaded), and I plug the device into my PC, Windows will alert me that a device is connected (as it usually does, with the chime), and the red light on the C5 turns GREEN.
Then in my Windows Device Manager, I can see the phone as an "Unspecified" device called S1 Service.
Clicking further into the propertise of this "S1 Service", I see that the Hardware is listed as a SOMC Flash Device, manufacturer is Sony Mobile Communications (etc.).
Every few seconds, I will hear the sound of a device being disconnected, the green light turns red, then there's a vibration, it gets reconected, and it goes green again. Repeat.
Xperia C5 Ultra E5553 Unbrick Succesfully :good:
Hi everyone, the only solution = Jtag repair , another solutions not successful! I repaired my device this solution and was successful. My device perfect working now :good:
some prob here
I have question, recently i flashed a rom on my c5 ultra dual, now it don't turn on anymore, only red light. I still have warranty on my phone
if i can't start the phone, is it possible that the manufacturer also can't start the phone, or will they find out that i broke the warranty rules?
In mid december 2016 my c5 ultra E5553 shut down randomly several times and then decided to wake up again 20 minutes later / one day later. It happened again in late january and took about 5 days before it decided to wake up (as I was preparing a hardware repair request!!). I am guessing a dodgy battery / connection as the 'one day later' restart happened as I was flexing the chassis to get the sim & sd card out - even though the phone had been on charge since the shutdown the battery percent had not changed / gone up.
The '5 days later' restart the battery was completely flat but the phone showed some signs of response when I plugged the charge cable in - after about 5 minutes of charge it then powered up when I hit the start button. Have not used it since as I was looking to flash up from the stock 5.1 ROM.
Amusingly I have landed on xda-dev looking for a flash tool as the xperiablog forum has the latest stock ROM (6.x) but advise that the flash tool they use bricks c4 & c5s...
so in summary, it randomly drops power and goes completely dark & unresponsive, but then decides it will let you wake it up sometime later...
