st15i wont turn on after update - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hi, today i unlocked my phone's bootloader. After that my phone updated itself with the official sony firmware and now my phone wont turn on... i even dont see the red light or whatever...
Can it be fixed? Thanks for the help
I'm a N00B

Ya it still can be fixed.
Just download the firmware ftf file and flash using flash tool.
then it will be back to normal.

Thanks for the reaction. I was trying to do that but i cant turn the xperia into volume up only in volume down...

Thanks for the fast reply. When i put my phone into the pc i hear 3 peeps and the flashtool says please install or reinstall device drivers from drivers folder. But the drivers wont install...

You need additional drivers for windows to recognise the phone in flashmode. Pc companion only installs ADB drivers. They should be installed since you have already unlocked the bootloader. Perhaps try to reinstall the drivers for flashmode then?

read the link fully. dowload flashtool. copy the latest firmware from the flashtool link inside flashtool link from xda website and put it in the firmware folder. connect the x10 by first pressing the back key (when the green light comes on) then inserting the usb cord to the phone. press flash and let it flash. That's what I did. when I used flashtool. Try it. Good luck

[Q] Red LED of Death !

I know its probably against the rules to post a question in this section but I really need help,
I know that there are many threads discussing the same issue but believe me I read them & it didnt work with me ! , so my phone wont turn on it just blinks red led 3 times that means that my battery is drained out but when I leave a while to charge it turns to green for a few minutes then the led is turned off , while its green its identifiable by the computer & flashtool & seus but when I try to flash/repair/update it gets stuck
btw it doesnt show the SonyEricsson logo when the led is green ; can anyone help me plz ? is it a software issue,battery or hardware ?? plz help !
Note: my phone was dropped heavily & I read on some forums that the fall may have caused damage to the USB port thats why itsnt charging is that true ?!
Note2: I was able to charge my battery and now when I connect the USB the computer recognize it but it wont flash using flashtool or repair/update ?!!
Have you found a solution? I´m having the same issue!
generally this indicates flash ic fault .
this is a common problem in SE phones .

the only thing u can do is use another pc to flash it which never had the pc companion or seus and try to flash it from there...
Remember that u also need to remove the registry entries for pccompanion and any other se app on your pc.. then reinstall drivers for flashtool.

Hello maybe its a flashtool bug or something with dalvik-cache or battery stats i am not sure someone correct me if wrong. I recently installed fxp109 cm7.2 and noticed it has a new version of the flashtool if correct its now 6.8.0, maybe the older ones are good and i saw u used 6.7.0 maybe the 6.8.0 works or older version then 6.7.0, Maybe it works if u can remove the drivers in device manager and try to reinstall them with SE gordon gate drivers i am not sure if this will solve ur problem but is worth trying i gues. P.S Greets from holland and i hope it helped if u tryed.

[Q] My Xperia Neo L is not turning on but red light while charging

I was trying to root my phone. After a lot of trying to flash, my phone shut down and I can't turn it on again. When I try charging, Red light keeps blinking also when I connect it to PC. I charged for almost 4 hours now and still red light blinking but doesn't turn on. Please help, my phone is 2 weeks old.
It's probably bricked.
Try Sony update service for re installing the system

Yes, that last post is a bit misleading.
Download flashtool from the sticky threads in the dev section and download a stock .ftf file from there as well.
Enter flashmode on phone and flash the stock .ftf file.
There is a possibility the phone is bricked but there are lots of other options to try first.
EDIT, also, try this. Take the battery out and leave for 1-2 minutes, replace battery and try to charge again
Sony update service doesn't require that your phone needs to be turned on.
I finally fixed my phone. I updated it using Sony Update Center, after a few hours. It turned on. Thanks guys!

Download flashtool and download this ftf file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByNPPw6PDxkkdzgyakVCSURMTUU/edit?pli=1
Install flashtool and copy that downloaded ftf file to C:/Flashtool/firmwares
Open flashtool click on lighthining icon and choose flashmode and click ok
Now you will see sth like just click ok !
Now remove and reinsert your battery ! But don't turn on ! Just hold back key and connect to computer and flashtool will recover your neo l to healthy again

its very simple..just install flashtool. and download stock ftf for your phone. copy it into firmware folder of flashtool. and flash it. no need to start phone. means u can flash it even its not working.

Hi all,
Sorry to bring back an old post but I'm having the same issue as the first post. I was able to put my phone on flash mode with the stocked ftf provided here. Once complete, I unplug my phone from the computer and tried to turn it on, it vibrates but nothing shows up. I tried flashing it numerous times with the same results.
The only difference now than before I first flashed it is that now when I click on the power button, it doesn't flash red.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Xperia sola blocked on Sony screen

Hi guys, i don't know how to solve a problem with my Sola. I read the recover soft-brick guide for xperia models but i can't solve it. I think i bricked.
When i try to turn on it's on Sony screen and there's nothing to do. I can use on flash mode and flash the kernel but the result is the same when i turn on. The led works like green in flash mode, or red when i finish the flash and the device is still connected. I have a locked bootloader, and all this happened when i wanted to restore a backup, i probably made a mistake: do a full wipe after that. I think that's is still in warranty, isnt' it? What can i do? There are some tips on the tutorial but i'm afraid to kill the battery or make other mistakes. Please help me guys.
And sorry for my bad english =(

Yes and flash is ok but when i turn on it's still on sony screen...i waited about 5 minutes. I tried with 6.1.1.B.1.54 and with 6.1.1.B.1.1.0 with same result. I know i have to wait after flash a stock firmware but i see it's too much time. Maybe because when i want to switch off i have to use hard reset (i mean with all 3 button).

If you have you can repair the phone without connecting the phone.
Click start under support zone, click start under phone tablet software update, click repair in the window that says can't find phone / tablet,, PCC wil start downloading files and will ask you to connect in flash mode.
The phone must be turned off before connectinmg in flash mode.

Thank you very much guys! Flash tool worked THANKS
sorry for my late reply.
I will suggest that you should always have a backup in case of incidents like these.. this is a development site.
Accidents happen while developing.
Flashtool is always the best way to recover your phone and always have nandroid backup when you install a new mod.
Because when you flash to stock you lose your data but restoring nandroid backup using custom kernel solves the problem!
Hope i helped.
Thanks everyone my prob is solved! I did flashed it
