After unlocking my bootloader, I attempted to flash a custom kernel. The flash attempt failed and now I am not able to boot up my phone.
I am not able to boot into CWM or XRecovery.
When I hold on to the power button, the led blinks green once and the phone vibrates but the screen is black and nothing happens. I have tried the the repair phone option with PC Companion to no avail. The repair process fails shortly after it starts.
When I connect the phone to my computer (Win XP), the led light turns green and stays on and PC Companion says phone is connected. PC Companion is not allowing me to update the phone's software even though it say the phone is connected (can't recognize the phone?). I am not able to see the device with ADB.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Peter
have you tried SEUS or Flashtool to flash stock kernel back? i got a crashing loop when i tried to flash custom kernel with the rom i used and i just connected it to pc, started flashtool, clicked on flash then on stock kernel then ok, then connected phone and held back button until phone crashed and went to reboot then flashtool managed to pick it up and start flashing stock kernel before it booted up fully, hope this helps

Thanks for your suggestion! I tried using flash tool to revert back to stock but I am still not able to boot up my phone. I am not sure if the re-flash was successful or not. Here's the log:

Looks as though flashing worked, though im no expert i just go from all my own experiences of bricking and torturing my phone
Thanks again Lancerfg Looks like my torture continues I also tried using SEUS but was not successful. I will let the battery drain and try SEUS again to see if I have better luck.
Looks like I may be SOL I tried to SEUS again after my battery complete drained but the update still fails.
Anyone have other suggestions? Please help!

I'm choosing to pull out of development on the play.
Thanks Waz for your efforts! Really appreciate it....
But after flashing... same thing, wont boot, screen stays blank. only recognise as flashing mode on my pc. cant get into fastboot too....
try taking out your sdcard and battery, pop the battery back in and flash again, this time when you power on, insert the USB lead again as soon as you press power, let me know what happens.
if that doesnt work Id say you got a hardware problem and should send the phone back.
hi waz thank you
but i have same problem teckhwee flash ok but no boot
ty
what's the model of your guys phone is it the R800I there must be something about your phones, where they sim locked before?
I wonder if your boot.img has somehow gotten currupt, what bricked your phone in the first place what happened?
have you tried the unlocking process again to see if that somehow messed up?
The above file is the full recovery and should work on all R800I's so there must be something im missing here.

you could try and uninstall the current drivers on your windows box check delete files and driver, then plug it back and wait for windows to find the driver again.
Im not sure, the flash looks like it's gone OK
I know you can format the NAND with ADB maybe this is an option to try before reflashing? could be you have bad blocks and the controller is not flagging them?
adb shell
format DATA:
format SYSTEM:

try leaving the battery out for an hour. And flash again. Really seems like hardware fault.

This may sound stupid but your battery isnt flat is it? you may just have a broken battery that just wont hold charge? charge your phone for a few hours see if it helps.
ive just read some posts on the net about xperia's somenoe claims sticking the battery in the freezer for an hour and then charging it fixed his red light problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452402
your battery is fooked mate by the sound of it
Not battery problem as I got 2 batteries.
that's not to say the charging circuit of your phone isnt broke? Im not saying it is as i don't know but certainly plausible given the fact the symptoms mirror other xperia battery problems

hi thank you all for help me
i test with windows xp but same problem
i test put my battery in freezer -18° celcius for 1 hour but same probleme
i think a battery problem i go to buy a new battery for test
very thanks all
Doesnt work here as well, my friend did OTA update, the device turned off after the update, never turned on again.
I tried to flash it like you explained Waz, used both programs, flash was succesful but when i press power, it vibrates one time and nothing else happens, if i keep power pressed it keeps vibrating.
If i connect the phone to usb, the power key turns a green ligh on.
I think i know why it's not working, the recovery file is for the initial firmware release not the update, so tomorrow hopefully got tonisilitis atm, ill update the stock phone, download the new recovery file rebuild and upload. This SHOULD! fix the phones.
stay tuned

Damn, the recovery software already updated it to the latest version i went to do an update and it's already done..
im at a loss atm guys, I just dont know what's causing your failures but i recommend going back to the manufacturer with this one
Dear All,
I beg your help for solving the following problem (already browsed for similar topics, no luck).
Here a brief history of the mess I have been doing:
I had installed Cyanogenmod (Worked)
I had flashed back a Stock ROM (ST15i_4.0.A.2.368__GENERIC_(1244-2098).ftf) (Worked)
Even though I knew that was not a good idea, I updated the software (as requested by android) (Bricked)
I have tried to re-flash using the same Stock ROM has worked before, with the result you can read below.

The Symptoms are the following:
Device not booting, when pressing the power button the phone vibrates for one second, nothing happens. The green light blinks.
When connecting the phone to the PC, it immediately starts the flashmode
When trying to connect it in fastboot mode (blue light) nothing happens. After releasing the up volume button, the phone connects in flashmode
When trying to use PC Companion, I get a window asking for unplugging the phone, remove the battery, insert the battery again and reboot. It does not reboot
When being connected with the PC, the phone exits and reenters the the flashmode each 1 minute.
I know I am just the N-th noob asking for help, but any hint is highly appreciated!

Hey Someguyfromhell,
you made my day, my mobile phone is alive again
There is still one question, is there a solution to allow the updates to be installed again? Maybe by relock the bootloader or using the PC Companion?
Thanks a lot again!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16659481&postcount=33 and look in the post for D) Relocking.
Seems, that if you used test point method, you can also relock via S1tool.
After that you can reflash stock firmware.
Almost same symptoms
Hi, I also think I've bricked my st15i.
What I've done:
-Unlocked bootloader
-Rooted
-Flashed custom rom
-Everything was working
Then with no reason, the phone started rebooting. It managed to boot and after 10sec - 1min it restarted again.
To solve this I:
- flashed stock rom and it stopped rebooting but as soon as I plugged it off the usb it rebooted and could not boot (it was looping sony logo and back).
- flashed other stock firmware, the same results
- now when connecting it to pc it goes directly to flashmode
- I can enter fastboot mode as well
- When pressing power button green led blinks
- tried flashing stock firmware again and then both the xperia_relock_bootloader.ftf and Xperia 2011 Range_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf with no results
- when connected to pc it goes only to flashmode (Can't make it to start)
- when pluged in the socket it starts looping up to sony logo
- when not pluged at all when I press power button, green led blinks
I hope you can make any sense out of this because I can't, and I've been trying solutions the past 36hours!!
Please...help!!
HELP1! I've flashed ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332).ftf on my ray with Flashtool and it started and worked perfectly. I tried to install CW with SEextereme tweak installer but when it tried to reboot my phone it stopped at the Sony Ericsson screen. I cannot go into the CW.
I tried to restore my phone with flashtool with ST18i_4.0.2.A.0.42_(Central-Europe).ftf but it doesn't boot again. I tried with FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe but still no success. Help me fix my phone or my parents will kill me because this is the third time it gets broken.
If this helps my ray is sim locked and with locked bootloader.
Thanks in advance.
Im' not sure whether SEextereme tweak installer can be used for ics, probably that's the problem. Why would you use fota unbrick? you didn't unlocked the bootloader rite?
basically there is 2 things you did wrong my fren:
1. Install CW with SEextereme tweak installer --> did u make sure that the tweak installer work with ics? in order to install CW u need to have root. Tweak installer probably uses the exploit on gingerbread not ICS
2. I tried with FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick.exe --> this one is a definite no. If im not mistaken this fotaunbrick only applied to phone that tried ota update after unlocking the bootloader on their phone.
Please specify the condition of your phone right now. Is it totally dead? when you turn on the phone what led color turns out? red, blue or green? Have you tried enter into flashmode to see whether it detects or not?
Flashmode= press vol down while connecting your phone to the computer
if what i'm suggesting is wrong, please correct me
be open to the bootloader
changed the kernel (xray v6)
go to recovery
factory reset
install zip from sdcard (custom rom)
In other places in the forum it's written that SEextreme tweak installer works with ICS and yes i had my phone rooted. I also read that this problem might occur on bricked devices and thats why i tried the Unbricktool.
my phone can connect in flashmode, but not in fastboot since i am with locked sim.
it does vibrate when i press the on button but it gets just to the sony ericsson screen and nothing more. I cannot even go to the recovery.
i've flashed firmwares with pccompanion, flashtool but still no sucess.

how long did you wait after flashing?
if you're still getting the sony logo then it's not really a bad case. only problem is you have a lock bootloader.
PC companion will not let you to repair installation?
use flashtool again with ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332).
Else you need to unlock the bootloader, and flash a new kernel.

I tried flashing the ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332) with flashtool and i waited about 2 minutes. It's still not gettin further than the sony ericsson screen.I aslo have tried this update service but still no change.
My bootloader has never been unlocked, so are you sure this is the problem and i nave to unlock it?
Check if you are able to use the phone in flash mode
Dude, your problem is pretty strange. I have done the same steps and worked flawles. Have a cable pluged in to the computer and then hold the vol- on the device and plug it. If you have a green LED thats cool. Go to wotanserver.com and find your ST18i. Scroll down and you will see the firmware flashing software. Download USB drivers and Wotan Client. Find someone with a credit card and get a firmware flashing credit for 2 euro. I think that will work. The wotanclient is easy to use and does not require anything else than flash mode for your phone. I hope i have helped you. Btw have you checked if toy have fastboot mode ( hold vol+ and plug in to computer)( I should see a blue led) if you dont see then pm me

please flash ST18i_4.1.A.0.562_(1252-5332) again with flashtool 0.7.0, tick the box of "Wipe User Data", "Wipe Cache" and "No Final Verification Check".
Then the "Sony" logo will appear, not the "Sony Ericsson". Then the "Xperia" logo will appear. After that, try to wait araound 10-15mins.
Please post the log from flashtool. Easier for us to analyze what has happened.
The good news is that ur phone still can boot into flashmode. And you dont need to unlock your bootloader for flashing. The only importance of unlocking your bootloader is basically the ability to flash via fastboot and flash custom kernel. That's all.
I did exactly what you told me but this time it got stuck on the SONY screen

Is there a solution without this because and if not how did it happen so i don't do it again?
Please answer the questions people ask here. You said you waited only 2 minutes after flashing ICS? You do know that everything in the phone gets reset, dalvik-cache gets wiped and it takes up more than 2 minutes for the phone to rebuild everything before it completely boots up?
If you did wait more than 10-15 minutes and you still have the problem, sorry, then i unfortunately don't know a solution.

IMO, you don't need to unlock the bootloader since CWM wipe all is basically the same with "Wipe User Data" and "Wipe Cache". So ur doing a same thing by flashing with flashtool with the "Wipe User Data" and "Wipe Cache" box tick. Did you try flash using official software like SEUS and PC Companion?

im assuming that u have already unlocked the bootloader on your phone since ur running a custom kernel. Have you tried flash using fastboot command?
after following what the guy above me said, please confirm if you are getting the Sony logo or the Sony Ericsson logo.
and yeah, minimum wait time after flashing is 5 minutes.

Hello,
I've tried to install a custom rom ([ROM] SE X10i MM TEAM MiUI 2.3.30 ML), but after installing, the phone didn't boot, stucks at SE logo. I can't start xRecovery, and if I try to start in recovery/flash mode, the green led appears, my computer recognizes it, then after 1-2 secs it disappears and loses the USB connection, so I can't start in recovery mode! And the SE PC Companion restore mode don't works.
Sorry for the bad english.
What does the pc companion say?. Have you tried to reflash your x10 with flashtool?

I can't use flashtool, because I can't start my phone in recovery/flash mode. I push the back button, then plug in the usb cable, the green light appears, the flashtool recognizes the phone, after 1-2 secs the green light disappear and the phone loses the USB connection, and the flash tool says "Error flashing aborted.".
The PC comp. can't download the update and it says that I have to visit the support site.
I did factory reset and formatted all the caches before installing the rom.
So, I was able to start it in recovery mode. But the PC companion still not working. When I try to flash with FlashTool, i get this:

Try to flash the stock ROM via SEUS (it will guide you step by step). Then root your device, install Busybox and xRecovery.
If you still want to have a custom ROM installed, make sure folders: system, data, cache & sdcard are mounted in xR - boot into xR, choose Partition Tools, mount all the folders. Then install the ROM.
Hope that will help you.

Ohh, thank you very much, it worked!
hi friends
i was trying to update xperia mini pro sk17i (1250-3615) to ICS official
it went well phone booted to ICS but i wanted to root it. (rooting failed even when in GB with all the possible methods Doomlord/Xperia-root/flashtool )
then triend to collect all the files from firmware folder of sony pc companion and made a ftf file using flashtool decrypt /bundle .
flashed it worked fine for first two times... then unlocked the boot loader using sony unlock code from the site.
now .. i was trying different kernel / pre rooted and was boot looping .. so flashed back to .431 ftf and laptop just went off towards the end.
phone not powering on. not recognised as a usb device. But once in a while it comes to flash mode ( green light vol-down usb state ) and i finally was able to use flashtool and this much happened

but still phone not powering on.. its the red light blinks 3 to 4 times and nothing happens.please shed some light
my own phone is FIH FBO (huawei x6 variant ) and i am active in that section... i have tried all the possible recovery methods i can find..
Did you try repairing with PC Companion after the last flashing session?
Don't know how much it would help, though.
1º Usually when you have the 3 red blink means no battery. You have to put your phone charging and nothing will appear on screen. Only after 10 or 20 minutes when battery reach good level.
2º If point 1 is not enough probably you installed kernel for custom rom that might be not compatible with the version you flashed. Try to go to Fastboot mode (blue light vol-up usb state) and install original kernel.
Good Luck
(i'm quite sure is the battery,if you can just grab a voltimeter and check your battery, if value is lower than 3,8v for sure you need to charge|)
thanks buddy for the quick response ..connected it to the charger keeping it for some time(but it was always connected to laptop usb whole time ). lets hope its the battery now. But i have done some cross flashing too earlier.
can you please point me to the original kernel. (but blue light fastboot mode too not coming up now. )
for this particular phone all the threads are so messed up reading finding each compatible ones is taking so much time.. most of the links are dead /suspended too.
sometimes when i flash this (SK17i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Baseband+Kernel.ftf) i get to the sony splash screen and xperia it will show and keep boot looping ..this guy here also tried the same had similar outcome. This thread

yes one time i got a repair option and i tried it. says the phone has a modified rom / so repair is not possible. (mostly because of the kernel +baseband flash ) and its very rarely comes to flash mode.
brov just reflash but dont use Flashtool v0.8.6, use v0.8.5 but make yhu charge tha phone first...
this is the latest happening ... and i strongly believe its the battery

i just saw the phone booting into splash / xperia / and then i heard saw the android home for a sec and battery went down phone got off.
kept for charging
thanks buddies... one thing is sure battery was down.. i was thinking its full charged since plugged to pc whole night. (wrong !!) then the second thought is .. does the recent booting into android home mean ( 12/019/2012 15:19:04 - INFO - Flashing loader) a temporary boot from the new kernel ? still hope is there rite ??

If you would read correctly, then you would see that .ftf file included only Baseband and Kernel, nothing more, nothing less.

Remove USB cable, choose the .ftf file with Flashtool, connect the phone in flashmode when Flashtool asks it.
