[Q] (Q) how to deal with bootloop - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Dear friends
I tried to change my icons by replacing the framework.res file which put me in bootloop, I had to remove my battery ( by removing the 10 screws on the back) to power off the device then put it in the fastboot to reflash the rom.
my question is there an easier way to deal with the bootloop without removing the battery?? (I hope so)

I think if you press vol up + power and wait till you have 3 vibrations.

Go to PC companion, update Centre, then fix my phone... Tada, it will restore everything back.

Use flashtool to flash stock firmware, can be found in development box!

It should work,wait till the phone reboot and when you see sony logo quickly press the keys...
First there is 1 vibration then another 3.

Yea, that should have definitely worked. There are other threads I believe where people had bootloops, and the device has successfully powered down.
I am quoting this directly from dooms "All you need to know thread": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526866 (which you probably should have read before doing modifications)
while device is power ON
Volume Up + POWER (for 10 seconds) -> resets the battery, its like removing the battery and putting it back in [device will vibrate once]
Volume Up + POWER (for additional 5 seconds, total 15 seconds) -> will power off hard, device will power down [device will vibrate thrice]

Try to time it when it starts its loop again, I don't see why you should ever have to remove your battery to reset, there hasn't been a problem yet that the key combos haven't solved.

Bootloop Issues
My phone the Sony Xperia Go... Has a boot-loop problem. it starts up and immediately goes into boot loop, (I lost power during the update because of a broken USB cord). I have tried the volume down button while plugging in the phone into the computer and it connects as an unknown device, but drops out too quickly for windows to find a driver for it. I have tried resetting it by holding the up and off buttons once it has been stuck in boot loop for a while but it wont connect to the computer. Any one else had this problem? how did you fix it?

Phone wont boot. Bad flash

Xperia S Issues. Bad Flash
Hi, I read the 'existing users' installation instructions on the Sspeed ICS rom and installed the rom without installing the ics rom and kernel (I was tired). When booting, I go in a bootloop with the doomkernel screen. I can access recovery fine.
When holding vol+ and connecting to PC the phone goes back into it's bootloop and does not boot into fastboot.
When holding vol- and connecting to PC the phone flashes the green led and then boots into bootloop.
If I wait until the phone vibrates and lights up blue I can press the button to access recovery. I thought I could then just copy a gb rom over using USB mount but it is not detected on the PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I have the same problem too... I was hoping it would just work, but apparently it doesn't it needs a base rom.....I'm at work at the moment so i cannot fix my phone(i flashed it while at work which i shouldn't have done...) i noticed you can put it into fast boot in recovery - go to reboot options then fast boot can you see if that works

Hi thanks for your reply. I've tried going to fastboot
from recovery and I get a blue flashing light for one flash then it boots up again. Am I able to do anything at that point?
Glad I'm not the only stupid one on here
im not the expert here but I have bricked other phones before but never an xperia phone before. I have been reading up, the doom kernel has some mounting options, try to mount the sd card as mass storage so pc can send files accross to the phone. It should be mount and storage menu -> mount usb storage, then leave it on that menu and connect to computer, see if that works

Hi is this by the mount USB storage optuon ? I tried that and it wasn't detected on the PC. I could try another PC later. Recovery went into mount mode fine but nothing happened on the PC. Not even a blank drive which I know some people have had
If it blinks the LED for a second and reboots, that means that you don't have the drivers. Install drivers that are bundled with flashtool and try again. Or use Linux / OSX.

I've used the laptop I'm trying it on for unlocking the boot loader and rooting. Maybe something corrupted the drivers. Will try on my Linux machine when I get home.
Thank you for all the help so far
Just Press VolUp and Power button until you get (one vibration followed by 3 consecutive vibrations) ... it will mean phone is shutdown.
Once shutted down, you will be able to press VolDown while plugging phone to PC and it will enter into flashmode.
Then you will be able to flash a FTF using flashtool
doesn't work...after the 3 beeps i let go and the screen turns black but then the boot loop happens again, i cant turn the phone off

Hello. I've got familiar problem. My phone blacked out after one day having about 35 % battery full. I was trying to reset it by holding power and volume up buttons - nothing happened. Just once showed up Sony logo but then again black nothing. Then it vibrate 3 times quickly and from that time it is shutted down, won't turn on even in flashmode. LED is not working too. I was asking for advice in local store servise and guy told me, that new phones have to be at least 30 min on the charger. So it's here now for hour, no result. :/
Just fixed this issue.
Follow these steps
1.hold vol up + power until phone vibrates 3 times.
2.open flash tool and point towards your stock file.
3.hit okay
4.wait for flash tool to prepare the files then it will prompt you to connect device in flash mode( vol down + power)
5.wait for it to finish. Unplug reboot and there you go fixed...
Hope this helps

Use the bundled wallcharger!!! not a PC, pc has too less power to charge it now!
After wallcharger is placed hold vol+ and power for a few seconds until 3 vibrations, then let the phone on charger for atleast 2 hours, if all is good phone will bootup to the "charging animation"

Something similar happened to me. I have the bugged version of chargemon (only can charge with phone on) and accidentally discharged completely. The phone didn't boot, didn't charge and didn't do the 3 vibrations thing. So I put the battery off, conected the wall charger, putted the battery and it booted
It's really easy to remove the battery, you just need to be careful

I had the same Problem, after a Kernel flash.
Xperia S seems to be dead, Power + Vol. UP didnt worked, it just vibrated once.
But now its working again. What i did:
Connected it via USB, hold the Power + Vol. UP button until it vibrated 3 times and than released the Power button but kept the Vol. UP Pressed.
Now it should be in Fastboot mode again.
Hope it will work for you. :fingers-crossed:

Try pressing both vol+ and vol- while holding the power button for about 10 seconds, you should get 1st one vibration and then 3 vibrations. worked for me when I thought I had bricked my S.

You could still get into flashmode as well.
And you don't need to have the bootloader unlocked for fastboot,but you can't flash stuff like other kernels than stock.
But if you are able to get into fastboot,you know that it is not dead.
Try charging it over night and then try getting it into flashmode by pressing vol down while plugging the USB in,it worked for me when I flashed MIUI without a kernel.
You can try using Sony update service, or just go to pc companion. In the update section you can click on repair. The phone doesn't need to be in any mode, it will say it automatically if it recognizes your phone. Which is naturally good news. Gl. I thought I bricked my phone a month ago. Those phones are unbrickable!!!

By reading all the comments i think that Your battery is dead(and its not replaceable either).What was the battery % when you gave him the phone?Whatever happened...it is not allowing battery to charge.Removing battery means breaking warranty.So i would suggest you to go to the sony shop,as a last resort!
Dont tell them anything about what happened,just say battery ran out and now its not starting.
See this(non-removable battery) is a big reason unbrickable phones also brick.

To use the "repair" option you need to have your phone turned on with minimum 50% battery!!!

hey broo...i had the same problem....the battery drain was sooo crazy...so i started to flash the doom kernel v4a and then the XHS v3 rom..nothing wrong...started fine ...but the problem was ...no wifi...get an error while starting the wifi service...i downloaded the hotfix from doomlord...and installed it via recovery mode...so i got a boootloop...while boot looping several times ..battery ran out...same problem...lucky cuz i have a warranty..went to the shop and he told me he charged the battery external...and replaced it back and started fine....BTW i started the same topic and someone deleted it..so my advice for you...your phone is not broken...its just empty...charged it external ..and i hope it will work with you.
if it works...let me know.
i also got my phone rooted without unlocking bl ,installed cwm recovery and found out that battery cannot be charged when the phone is turned off..someone told me that version of recovery replaced the stock power-off charging program..
so i think your phone is just out of energy.

My Xperia P died WHEN I was using PC companion!
PC Companion won't recognise your phone in any event if the phone isn't switched on. The program is garbage anyway, I have tried it on two different laptops (including a Sony Vaio) and when trying to restore stuff back to the phone it hangs all the time.
you can use emma flashtool by sony to flash stock firmware but you must get into fastboot mod charge your phone gt emma ready then plug in your phone with vol - hold and then flashwith emma flashtool
Lesson learnt: don't let anyone except you to use your phone especially when its rooted

Did you do any of these with your device before it screwed up?
Soft bricks:
Flash improper firmware which the system recognizes as improper
Prematurely terminate transfer
Flash with a bad cable
Hard Bricks:
Flash improper bootloaders
Flash mismatched versions of proper bootloaders
Flash bootloaders with a bad cable

That way we'll be able to tell if it is actually a brick or not.

If you dont have waranty open the phone ... detach the battery HOLD VOLUM + and plug USB . Should see it as an " ? Device ". If it see it that is ok. Plug back the battery and use the V+ + USB to try to power it up. And try to see if you have energy in the battery.
Xperia S comes with battery inside the phone, you sure you can remove it yourself?

Try this:
- Connect your XS to pc using USB cable
- Press volume up + power button for 15 seconds (untill the phone vibrates 1 time)
- hold volume up, now you should be in fastboot mode.
This should work for everyone who flashes a wrong kernel

Depends. I dont think so. Will suggest a full power off. Plug out battery, and with the battery out hold power button to eliminate all the power from capacitors. And after I will try to start it.

Do you have power?
Sent from Hell using Xperia-S
when you hold power button + volume up for 10 seconds does it vibrate?
if it does vibrate or not try this:
1. charge your phone for about 1 hour (doesnt need to have a led light),
2. i guess do u have flashtool already, download any firmware for your phone.
3. since your phone is not booting, once you have the necessary files and place the firmware on the folder of flashtool, (c:flashtool/firmware/your downloaded firmware),
4. open the flashtool then click the lightning icon and choose flashmode and choose your firmware, a tab will flash and say turn off your phone then connect via flashmode (whatsoever), then connect your phone via flash mode (power button + volume down), this will not connect immediately, what will you do is to push the power button+ volume up and wait until it vibrates 3 times, then after that push the power button+volume down, then the pc will detect your phone and flash the firmware, and then wait until it finish, once finished power on your phone. ( it happens to me also that my phone does not turning on and thats what i did).

[Q] [U] Not turning on after installing kernel. Bricked?

Hi guys, yesterday I unlocked and rooted my Xperia U, as I didnt have time anymore, I decided to install the kernel today, so when I installed it, I tried turning on my phone - nothing. I just got that red light thingy sometimes that is active 2-3 seconds, I tried charging but still nothing, funny thing is, when I connect it to my 2nd PC with XP on it, it connects, but in My Computer I only see "Digital Camera" and cant open it, also Windows Explorer popup for it keeps constantly, well, popping up but its empty and I cant select anything. I'm now downloading flashtool, is there anything I can do else? Im desperate, I got this phone for only 3 days.
Okay, now I'm in flashtool, I'm about to start flashing but I cant get into fastboot mode... What should I do?
Bump? :crying:
Please dont make me spam, I searched everything, I'm pretty sure my problem is unique, I cant access fastboot. Nothing
try this:
1. charge your phone for about 1 hour
2. open flashtool then click fastmode and choose your firmware.
3. make sure your phone is off ( i dont know if this is the same with xperia U volume up+power button wait til vibrates three times)
4. when it says connect your phone into fastmode, connect your phone via usb, then hold volume up + power button and wait till it vibrates three times, then hold power button+ volume down.
5. it will flash your firmware.
or you can flash the stock kernel (just extract from ftf, same instructions above).
I charged it for the whole night, the problem is, I cant access fastboot. All the drivers are installed but nothing.
I'm sending my phone for repair probably, with rooting I broke my warrant, what's going to happen?

Not vibrating, also, no led.
The only sign I get is when I take out the battery and put it back in, it vibrates for a second. Thats it.
Try to remove the battery and than try all keys combination,and also try to get to connect it to your flashtool.Try hard reset combination.Remove the battery,put the battery,hold power+vol. up button for. 20 sec. If that doesn't make.Try the same only with vol. down button .If that doesn't work,take it to the service shop than....
Hit Thaks if I helped
Hold vol up when replacing the battery, then quickly shove the USB cable in. Phone should vibrate when you put the battery in and you have a second or two to get it into fastboot or flashboot.
Probably a bad install of a kernel, make sure you're using the right one for your phone.
Not sure if it works for the U, but that's how I fixed my Sola.

Exactly what I did too. Try again and again. You'll succeed. have stock kernel at hand.

[Sola] Xperia Sola Won't Turn On (Advanced)

I know, I know that this question has been always on the forums but mine is different. It really won't open!
Tried the hard reset thing, nope it doesn't work at any combo.
Flashtool? Nope it won't work. PC never detected it. Pressing the volume up / down button won't work so is the camera and the power before plugging, during, and after the USB.
I don't know what else to do!! :
I need your help experts And no, I don't want to send it to repair centers

hard power off not working as well as PC Companion / SUS / flashtool unable to detect it.
when you try to plug it in the red LED works
EDIT: while plugging it in, the red LED disappears instead of turning into color green (fully charged)
Try to leave it on and connected with flashtool and watch the flashtool window. It helped me once when I messed flashing. Flashtool it detectrd after one or two minutes and I flashed stock tft.

but it's working great before it. it just turned out to be like that when I was changing the sim card.
tried flashtool but i can't connect the phone. i'm in the part where you have to press the back button (volume - or +) when connecting it.
Dont try flash, just turn on, eg hatd reset (volume up+power on/off button) and let it connected, dont try go to cwm. Just let it lets say boot, I know, screem is dark but after while youll see in flashtool main window that phone is detected, it took me one or two mins to get it. Then you can try fastboot and flash correct kernel. And try to remove the SIM card or insert the old one.

hard reset combos: power + vol up / power + vol down / vol up + vol down / power + vol up + vol down. I've tried them all. not a newbie here so don't treat me like one please
rom + kernel = pure blood sola v2. i don't think it's the rom's fault tho since my sister has the same rom and her's works like a charm. the rom has been in the phone for more than 2 months without any problems (my phone's). files are accessible and photos are transferable.
How did the problem arise? everything was working great till i changed the sim card. then poof! it won't work anymore. to be honest it wasn't my phone. i'm just trying to fix it
not turning on. no power. no backlights meaning its not the display problem. when you plug it in via usb / wall charger there's a red LED but after an hour it disappears.
really need your help guys
could work
I have a Xperia U and triying to port JB to it I briked two or three times.
I hold power botom and it vibrate and doesnt happen anything ok.?¿
The possible solution could be this(for my works)
Charge the phone like 1 hour for my doesnt charge with the animation but its for security.
With the nest steps you are going to lose all CWM and tweaks and apks but personal data still there.
You have two options:
Flash a new rom with flashtool, but when you pluged with volum - you hold it for allmost all process becose for my i conect to PC and its goes quikly so i cant do annything.
If the phone is not recognised by Flashtool:
You have to repair it with PC Companion or Bridge for Mac, and also the same hold volum - almost all process.
For my it works, tell my if for you works:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
