Hey guys,
Yesterday my 2weeks old Xperia S crashed and when I tried to reboot it just shows the 'Sony' startup logo and it keeps restarting over and over again just showing the logo.
Last week I updated to .73, I don't know if this has anything to do with it.
I already tried to fix with Sony PC Companion or reinstall the update with SE Update Manager, but both of them just gave me an error they can't connect to my device. I went to Sony Center and they tried everything but nothing worked. They told me to send it to Sony to repair it but that will take over 4 weeks until I will get it back.
I hope there is a solution to this without having to send it to Sony...
Greetings,
Wouter
did the green led ,lighting up

Yes it lights up and i did follow the instructions with the volume rocker... It first says the device is found but then while repairing it just gives me an error saying it failed.
keep for a night in charger try again
battery level must be higher that 50% other way it will fail
I mean minimum 2,5 hours charging! try to leave it alone to charge up
I know it is difficult !
then warranty

If I flash it, won't that take away the warranty?

Nope it won't void your warranty
You don't unlock your bootloader or root it.
The only thing you do is flash an official firmware, but just another way than the usual.

Okay thanks for the information!
Downloading stock .ftf file now...
I'm still wondering what the cause of this problem could be, I was just texting my gf and my screen just froze. I rebooted the device by using powerbutton+volume up and it didn't get past the 'Sony' logo and just keeps rebooting... I'm wondering if this is just a software sided problem or if there is more going on...
I'm trying to flash it but it's stuck at 0%

Did you installed the drivers found in flahtools folder?
Does the green led is on?
Does the battery have power?

-> stuck at 2% :\
Mayby try to calm down be a litte bit patient, and focus
you can also close pccompanion task manger "pc comapasion.exe*32" then close task both of them because that sometimes clog up the progress
if you use the flashtool!!
You got a point about calming down myself ... But it's still stuck at 2% though...
It's closed .
EDIT: Still stuck at 2% :\
i would be funnny here but, but Just in case removing a possibility of" bad download" try download another one in the meantime
At least we know your phone is not dead jet ! it respond to the flashtools that good

Did you try to post in the same thread you got the instruction?
So have unplug the device but the LED green light is on? the Vol+ & power together till three vibrates didn't work?
Yes thats right if i unplug the device the LED goes out but when i push the power button it just flashes green and nothing happens, I've tried the volume up + power it vibrates 3 times like normal but when i push the power button the same happens green LED flash
no I haven't tried that I'll post it in there now cheers for the advice
flash the firmware again, and when you plug in the phone, hold the volume down button only, you dont have to hold the power one, it should go into flash mode now

unplug the cable from your phone, then hold the vol + and power till vibrates three times. now your phone is off,
lunch flashtool and initiate the flashing process with ICS firmware and hold vol - and plug the phone in, see if that works.
Sony developer on the forum believe that no one could hardly brick a Sony phone.
it wont let me flash ftf as it keeps dropping out of flashmode then re entering it flashtool is saying
-ERROR flashing aborted
-device disconnected
-device connected in flashmode
over and over again, I can get it into fastboot mode is there anyway I can re flash ftf in fastboot through cmd?
I think the battery might be dead now when I connect it all i get is a red LED
Hello!
It appears I have the same issue with xperia pro. After flashing the official 4.0.4 rom with flashtool the log says:
Code:
27/032/2012 15:32:18 - INFO - Flashing finished.
27/032/2012 15:32:18 - INFO - Please wait. Phone will reboot

27/032/2012 15:32:18 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
The phone doesn't respond, the green led is on.
Have you been able to restore the phone functioning?
---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------
Ah, it's okay. I re-flashed the phone with a different rom and now it is working fine.

Calm down dude. Grab flashtool. Set flashmode and choose your stock ROM. And just flash it through vol down key and plug in USB to your phone. It is just a soft-brick. No need to worry much.

@Ali Suhaimi
Id the phone turned off before you start flashing?
Did you install the drivers from flashtool located in drivers directory? You need to install 4, the one for Sola and flash and fastboot mode that are at the bottom of the list.
Before you flash just leave flashtool open and connect in flash mode, and see it stays connected for about 45 seconds.
Yes i've done all.. but the problem is i forgot to enable USB Debugging before flashing it.. and now the flashtool need the USB debugging to be enabled and i cant turn on the phone,.

Hello everybody,
My Xperia Mini ST15i (with 2.3.4 ROM, & 4.0.2.a.0.42 Build Number) can't turn on properly.
Just stuck at 'Sony Ericsson' (before the logo).

So what should I do for this problem?
Even I can't turn on the USB debugging and switch to MSC mode because the device stuck at 'Sony Ericsson'.
Everybody please help me
I can't do this without your kindness and your guide.
Thanks a lot. I hope you all can reply my mesage.

29/044/2013 21:44:06 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized
29/044/2013 21:44:06 - INFO - Flashtool Version 0.9.11.0 built on 2013-06-04 22:50:00

29/046/2013 21:46:03 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
So what should I do for this problem?
Even I can't turn on the USB debugging and switch to MSC mode because the device stuck at 'Sony Ericsson'.
Everybody please help me
I can't do this without your kindness and your guide.
Thanks a lot. I hope you all can reply my mesage.

But when i was finished and tryied to boot up my phone nothing worked it only vibrates once and dosent even light the screen it only blinks red light and when i try flashboot mode it blinks a purple light.
When i try to connect it to my pc via usb it doesn't even recognize its a phone.

Sometimes when i connect my phone to my pc via usb i can see it in my device manager as an USB MTP device.
Also when i try to charge it blinks a green or a red light for a shortwhile, then the light stop blinking, and then does nothing.
Can someone help me please?

Hello guys
I need your help..
2 days ago i accidently flashed a rom for the xperia Z on my Z2 ( i didn't paid attention to the name of the zip..) and since then the phone won't boot, and i can't acces to flashmode or fastboot mode..
When i plug the phone on charge, i can get a red light but that's all..
Also if i unplug it, and press volume + and power it vibrate 3 times, and then i plug it to the computer, i get a sound as a device is connected, but can't go further, still no fastboot or flashmode..
Please help me guys, i had to buy a bb bold 9900 so i can keep contact with my friends, but it freaking sucks...
I hope there's a chance to get my z2 back alive..
Thanks guys
If you have lights, you should be able to reflash an ftf with flashtool. I (optimistically) flashed a z3 rom on this phone when it first came out to see what happens. I know you say it doesn't go into flash or fastboot modes, but have you installed the drivers and know what your doing?

Hello
Yes I have all needed drivers installed, and the first thing I tried when I got the red led was to flash a stock ftf... Unfortunately I can't go to flash mod

Nothing... normally it should flash a bit then stay off, but now nothing happens, i just hear a sound that some device is connected but nothing more..
Flash mode my led usually flashes red then stays green. Does fastboot work? Does pc companion work?

I've successfully unlocked the bootloader, and while installing different firmware version for the root, flashmode suddenly disconnected, resulting in interrupted installation. And right now, I cannot enter neither into Fastboot or Flashmode. Plugged in device just has red light regardless of any button combination. Flashtool recognizes the device ID but I cannot proceed anywhere either. PC has all the drivers, however Flashtool does not detect fastboot/adb interface drivers. Ideas?
I had same issue with my 3111 And couldn't find any solution. I ve sent to service I hope it won't cost me too much.
I'm regret of unlock my bootloader... hope you can find a solution

Try to hold "vol+" and "power" for 8-9sec and release, hold "vol-" and plug USB. Or try to plug USB, hold "vol-" for one minute. The led is green if OK to flash.

Sadly that did nothing. Is there a way to somehow return fastboot/flashmode to the phone? Or my best course of action is replacing the motherboard or something.

This is the way to go in flashmode...
Are you sure your battery level is good? A bootloop can drain the battery quickly (you can't see the bootloop on the screen but it is here) I bricked my phone many times with bad kernels and boot and it always revive. You are not the first who bricked his device, I will make a video to show and explain how to unbrick XA (same for Ultra) after a bad boot.img flash but not before the next week.

I'd gladly unbrick it myself if only I could get into fastboot/flashmode. Which is gone. Thats the problem here.
I've also considered the battery being dead from invisible bootloops (which is consistent with the phone not turning on at all), but leaving it charge for a couple of hours did not let me access fastboot/flashmode either.

Happen the same to my, but I didn't unlock bootloader, just flash a Generic Firmware.
Flashtool "finish" correctly, but when I disconnect the USB and try to Power On device, Nothing happen, PC recognice USB but no driver installed, Red Led and nothing more.
Send to Service, they have to give me a new One, No fix for that :crying:

I've sent mine to the first repair store who knew what I was talking about regarding the phone problem. The repair will cost 35eu. I have no idea what they said they're going to do, but I guess a new system will be sideloaded from inside the hardware or something.
EDIT: Aaand repair store declared it dead. Getting a new one, **** this.
