[Q] [Really Need Help] Xperia Neo would not start, only shows "sony ericsson" :(
Hi guys, I am new to this forum and a new smartphone user.
Last night I was updating my phone through PC companion, but the software dies half way for some unknown reason. Since then I could not turn on my phone.. It will only vibrates, shows "Sony Ericsson", and then an image of yellow triangle with an exclamation mark shows up, then it is turned off again. I tried charging, restarting my pc companion software to try to update my phone, but none of them work.
I saw some threads here and it seems that there are possible solutions, but because the terminology is quite strange to me I could not fully understand what I have to do What is a flashtool and SEUS? I tried to search them up on the net but the downloads seem to be unavailable?? I must be missing something here.
If anyone can help me with simple terminology I will really really appreciate it.. Thanks a lot!
Your phone's boot loader unlocked or not & if yes what method?(s1tool,official SE or setool2 paid) ? Here's a good tutorial about flashtool.

Hi,
This is my suggestion:
first download FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358
Follow instructions (if u familiar with updating with sony ericsson pc companion, this u can do)
Simple, start FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick, click flash. Choose loader.sin on the right. Then click OK,
Turn of phone, hold in back button while connect phone with usb cable.
See its flashing, wait til its done, unplug phone,. try to boot up phone.
I am also a newbie, but this worked for me
pls give me a link to download SEUS, for xperia neo pls. pls help I am having the same problem pls help,

Anyway @lilbunnyf if your phones boot loader is unlocked using s1tool method do not use seus or pc companion.As I read in forum this can brick your phone.Try flashtool.If you got a locked boot loader or patched one with setool2 then you can use pc companion(this thing saved my phone like 5-6 times now after kinda bricking it with roms kudos se for this xD)

Most likely the post #3. That should help.
I have the same problem...
but mine already unlock using s1tool, rooted using zergexploit and using cwm...
i wanted to install se tweak so i use cwm the installation is complete after rebooting my phone is bricked... so please... im begging help me...
i've tried using flashtool to reflash to stock but i cant get my phone connected... it seems i cant go to fastboot mode...
I managed to get stuck in a boot loop today. I have a locked bootloader and SEUS did the job, so I guess that is the best solution for the problem mentioned by OP.

Since you unlock it via s1tool, you should still be able to use SEUS.
Anw, why fastboot mode? Have you tried to connect it in flashmode?

Its "soft-brick" state.
Didnt you have some problems with usb before?
If not, try to charge up your phone once again.

Even if phone shows up error triangle you should be able to use standart flash mode.
About fastboot dont know, never used it.
hi,
Thanks both for your help, in the end i downloaded the lastest version of flash tool and its got a option of disable verification and worked spot on.

No problem, it could be done, but not so simply. I did rooting and xrecovery installation without Flashtool many times since Flashtool werent possible torun on Linux
Root could be done with exploit zergRush; but try SuperOneClick first. It will take some time root it completely manual.
Same with xrecovery, but its much more simple, pasting three or four files to root FS.
Try superoneclick first, if it wont help, will provide more step by step information.
EDIT:
Simpliest solution - almost forgotten
Download the zip provided underthis post.
Extract the zip file.
Connect your phone to computer (remember, that USB debugging must be on!!!)
Run file runme.bat (command line window will appear).
Enjoy !

RELAX first.
You will have to flash the stock SE firmware is by using the X10 Flashtool i .e. get your phone to stock and then root it again.
Here's a video link to the procedure :

do you have USB debugging and unknown sources turned on your phone? Because its really strange why adb cant connect.
What ROM and kernel you are currently running on?
@dello what does ur pc say when u type adb devices?
Sent from my X10S using XDA
hi,
running the official rom and kernal that the SEUS installed running 2.3.3
and yes debugging mode and allow are both on but still says cannot connect to deamon, could it be the boot loader? i put ICS on a xperia play and did that fine, do i need to unlock the bootloader like i did with the play?
i did try to but the se website wont unlock it
and ADB in dos wont pick it up list empty

I backed up and reseted to factory settings. loaded the new update.zip and after the restart that was needed my phone briked
it's not a common brick. I can't use flashtools to recover it.
here is the problem that appears...

phone is not responding to any command. Plus it needs to be turned off if you wanna restore the backup you saved previously...when I try to flash it, phone turns ON
I read many guides in this forum to unbrick it but didn't find anything that suits to my occasion.

Press home and power buttons together, it will restart the phone, then start pressing the back-button repeatedly to get back into recovery and restore your previous rom from there. (Come to think of it, following my last paragraph below, you probably don't have recovery on your phone anymore, so, as Rempty mentioned above, repairing with SEUS or PC Companion would be the start to recover your phone to a usable state,.)
The error flashtool gave you is because you didn't unlock the bootloader and didn't change the kernel on your phone. It can't flash any non-sony kernel on a locked bootloader.
What is this 'update.zip' you're talking about? Most full roms have more informational names to distinguish between different zips. An update.zip is usually only for hotfixes to ROMS already flashed, and not a complete ROM.
Thanks a lot guys. I solve my problem with SEUS.
Phone completely formated.
Love you guys

i try the PC COMPANION but my phone did not detect it..
this is what i did to bring back life to my x10 mp.
Switch phone completely off then if not already running start pc companion. then this step really got to me because of the phone constantly restarting, to get pc companion to detect the phone, i pressed and held the back key down and connected the usb cable just like flashing a new kernel. pc companion then detected the phone as x10. doesnt matter. then start the update and you must do the same thing again to force update service to detect the phone and to give the option to repair. then once thats done follow the prompts through update service, it will then ask you what phone you have, choose x10 mini pro and update.its a long process but be patient and your phone will work again.

Sony Xperia S Bricked

I was using XZXperience 2 on my Sony Xperia S, and then sony companion detected that i had firmware 6.1.A.1.45 and 6.1.A.55 was available, so just to give it a try, I installed that update, but that is a failed update, it says unfortunately music player stopped working, or unfortunately xperia keyboard stopped working etc. The main problem is that my system does not recognize my XS anymore, it says USB Device Not Recognized, so I cant connect it to Flashtool or PC Companion for repair. The Sad part is that I cant even connect it in Flash Mode, I tried a hard reset by using power button and volume up buttons, but no use. I should mention that once it recognized my phone when i turned off my laptop and removed its battery too, after restarting both phone and laptop, flashtool detected that phone was connected with USB Debugging OFF, though it was on, but as a try, I unchecked USB Debugging and then checked it again, and it worked. Now my Xperia S was connected in USB debugging mode, I tried to install busybox, rooted it, and tried to install CWM recovery,flashtool said that busy box was installed and phone was rooted, but it could not install recovery and I used another tool to install recovery,which had a bat file and it installs recovery automatically. But it didnt. After restarting my phone, the same issue appeared again, My PC does not recognize my Xperia S, tried previous procedure several times, but no use. Cant even repair it as my set cant go in flash mode. What can I do? have I bricked my Xperia S? I`m in Pakistan and there is no official Sony Mobile franchise as they dont launch their flagships in Pakistan. Please help me, considering I`m used to with rooting,flashing etc. How can I connect my phone in flash mode? Thank you.
Thanx

It looks like another strike from the productors. They usually send you malicious updates which cause your device to stop working. This only happens to rooted phones which run custom roms. And since the rooted users only flash their roms in zip format, sending an OTA update patch(designed for stock rom) to a custom rom can only lead to a malfunction. I am not sure whether or not sony did that on purpose, but the truth is that after installing a custom rom NEVER do OTA updates(unless they are from the rom's developer).
If you want an update check your rom's thread and there may be new flashable versions.
As for making your device work, the only thing you can do is to call technical support or go to a phone service(in my country they are called gsm services, and they fix mostly everything, both hardware and software. Some even claim to be able to fix water damage) but given that your warranty is voided, you will have to pay for the reparations. I guess they will only do a re-soft(delete everything, and install the stock version, you may lose your root, i am not sure here.)
I hope this helps, this is how we fix things like this in our country, so it will work in your case too, hopefully.

Thanx for your advice. I was almost hopeless, but after spending continous 16 hours, I`m now able to get a solution. I got another data cable, removed battery of my laptop, and made a hard reset to my phone, and after 10-15 min I tried again, and Thanx GOD, it detected my phone, so I hurriedly start repair my phone option and connected my phone in flash mode which was successful and that was not less than a miracle, because i`ve been repeating same procedure and it was not working, this time luckily it worked, now i`m using stock rom with firmware 6.1.A.2.55. Now I would either wait for official Sony JB Update or I would flash a custom ROM XZXperience 2, which I found awsome, as it had no bugs, and it improved battery and sound quality was significantly imrpove + Bravia Engine 2 with improved graphics. I would ask users to not to give up hope, there is always a solution to every problem.

Get a new data cable, fortunately almost all phone now a days have same data cable, u can try data cable of some HTC, Samsung, Blackberry or even Iphone`s data cable. Secondly, u must turn off your PC, and remove its power source, if it is laptop then also remove its battery. Then after 5-10 minutes, turn on your PC and connect the phone. Also try installing drivers, which u can by using PC Companion. You can also install drivers by using FlashTool. Download it and extract it, then go to the installation folder and look for folder "Drivers" open it and u will see an exe file. Just run it and select Xperia S and follow the instructions.
maybe not new usb cable sometimes usb port is broken
Hey, I had the same problem a few time ago, you can try to restore with flashtool, if you can still get in to flash mode

Since you CAN'T use custom kernels with locked bootloader (and so, no cm10)
You only need to flash stock rom and then relocking your bootloader

To unlock the bootloader you need to enter fastboot (blue led) with vol+ during the boot, not vol-
Or you can also reboot the phone from adb with
adb reboot bootloader
If phone still doesn't stick to fastboot, it has to be a driver problem

To unlock the bootloader you need to enter fastboot (blue led) with vol+ during the boot, not vol-
Or you can also reboot the phone from adb with
adb reboot bootloader
If phone still doesn't stick to fastboot, it has to be a driver problem
There are lots of guide on the procedure (which is really hard on windows 8)

Yes I use windows 8.1
now. I can't use memory stick with OTG cable but I can only use mouse or keyboard with OTG cable. I don't know why?
I can access fastboot mode but I can't access flash mode. pc said that device not recognized. so, I think it is device error.

I dont really understand what you did
But my advice is: unlock your BL and enjoy the magic of aosp ROMs (magic included inside doomkernel for stock sony is fine too)

Bricked my phone - please help!
Hi,
I think I bricked my Xperia S. I already had cyanogen 10 on my phone, so I thought I could just flash the new Cyanogen 11 4.4.2 ROM and GAPPS over top. I followed the instructions but I skipped the Fastboot step. I cleared the cache and system and then went ahead with the ROM and GAPPS. Once the ROM and GAPPS were installed, I selected "Reboot" and the phone turned off and now it won't boot at all. If I hold the power button, I get a faint vibration and if I hold the up volume and power I get the 3 vibration sequence but no boot. Please help!
This is what I was using:

PLEASE HELP!! Bootloop exist even after flashing with EDL test point method

So my phone just got stuck while normal usage. Tried restarting and the phone began boot looping.
Did plenty of research and finally decided to flash. Tried to flash using mi flash in fastboot mode but failed then google search made me realise my bootloader was locked. Did more research and decided to flash using test point EDL method.
Things went pretty well and the flash (miui v8) and the process became successful and when I powered my device the phone went back to boot loop again.
Tried flashing again and the result was the same.
It would be really helpful if somebody could actually help clear the issue. Did pretty much everything I could do as a newbie to flashing.
thank you!

How is ur phone being recognised in mi flash tool?
A serial number appears or something else like "com_port" appears?

If it recognises ur phone like that then flashing does nothing to ur phone so the only way is to go into edl mode and then flashing

Use this tool to go into edl mode and then flash
This thread can help ,because i bricked my phone once without unlocking the bootloader and the miflashtool recognised my phone like how it recognised urs and this thread saved my phone
Good luck
