I'll try to update and clean up here in order to clearly show what's been done already.
Not sure if my Xperia Mini can be brought back to life. Any help is appreciated. I already read through a ton of threads with bricked phones, but none of these cases seems to be similar to mine. However, I doubt that my case is unique in any way, so I hope there are some guys out there who can bring me on the right track.
How it happened:
Phone was running smoothly.
Put it on the charger at night (phone was on).
In the morning, phone was off and I couldn't turn it on again.
The symptoms:
Power on button has no effect at all (not even vibrate, as it used to do before)
While connected to PC, the hardware manager shows the "ZEUS Fash Device"
The Flashtool (version 0.9.10.1) says device disconnected
Phone does't go into flashmode (VOL down + USB connect)
The phone:
Xperia Mini
Bootloader unlocked (testpoint method)
ROM: FXP208-cm-10-20130223-UNOFFICIAL-smultron
OC: used max. 1.5 GHz for a couple of minutes in total, but did not OC for the last weeks
What I already checked:
Battery: I checked the battery, it is OK. I have a second ST15i and the battery is fully charged and working with the other phone.
The charger is also OK. Also checked with the other phone.
While connected to the charger with removed battery, the battery connector pins (see attached picture) give me 3.5 V or something.
Turn on with no SIM card and no SD card: Same result - nothing.
Enter flashmode (VOL down + USB connect): Does not work.
Reinstall Flashtool and PC companion: That didn't change anything.
S1tool - identify: Tried "identify" method on phone: no result.
S1tool - patch: Tried to repeat the bootloader unlocking procedure. This works until the point where the unlocking actually should happen, but then it says something like "S1 header not found". Not sure however, if this is usual behaviour because the bootloader was already unlocked.
Tried to use PC companion: Phone not recognized.
(Re-)installed drivers from flashtool -> drivers: No change.
What else I could do:
Connect to a different PC: Don't think this will help, but I might give it a try.
Try to esteblish an ADB connection: I don't know much about that, but wouldn't that require the phone to be running in the first place?
Buy a new phone
Any suggestions?
Any help how to solve this is still appreciated.
one more thing...
Forgot to mention that I can't bring the phone into flashmode (VOL down + USB connect).
... will be able to try more in a couple of hours.
Re: [Q] Bricked? How to reanimate the Mini?
Take its battery out and leave it for sometime. Then keep it on charge for 8-10 hours and see if any led light shows up. Then try to boot up without sim and sdcard.
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,
AJ
Dont miss the ICON FARM!
Battery is OK. I tried the battery on another Mini.
I also tried, without success:
Left without battery for a while (5 min).
Tried to turn it on with no Sd card and no SIM card.
Any other suggestions, anybody?
I didn't find any thread with a similar problem, but maybe I just can't use the search properly...

Take out battery, wait 10 seconds, reinsert battery, press volume down and while holding just connect via usb to pc. Don't press anything else, just volume down and connect. Now you are in flashmode, so try to reflash stock ftf. If you can't enter flashmode, I don't know what to do
Problem is, the phone does not go into flashmode (volume down + usb connect).
However, it is recognized by Windows as "ZEUS Fash Device".
Is there any alternative way to get into flashmode?
Since windows recognizes the phone as "ZEUS Fash Device", I guess there must be some way this can be used. It just freaks me out to see the phone in Windows but it does nothing. It' like a coma or something.

check the unbrick guide..
check the mentioned symptoms of bricked devices..
as windows is identifying the device i dont think its totally gone..
possible hardware is damaged due to overnyt charging..
Hope ur device nt bricked and will work smoothly again..
Repair using pc companion
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
I Really Pray That I am wrong
I suspect that during charge the phone was overvolted as it was first used after overclocking.
The device is identified as Zeus device cause it was unlocked using testpoint
so what u can do is to pray that ur CPU was not overvolted
hi. I have similar problem.
it's just that pc doesn't detect it completely. I can't put it into flashmode and pc companion and SEUS won't detect my phone. I tried everything people suggesting but not a single thing works for me. is there anyway to force flash using pc companion or should I throw it away :|
Have you installed the drivers from flashtool -> drivers folder? All drivers for all modes/devices?
Never mind read your question wrong
Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried each and every one, but didn't achieve anything.
Sometimes, you just have to let go...

I have the exact same problem... No flashprogram finds it but Windows. And only thing it finds is "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" ....
Whats the problem
try uninstalling and then reinstalling drivers in your pc
i hope this will help
Hmm... no suggestions on how to put the phone into flashmode, other than using Vol down + usb connect?
Maybe there is none...
Hello guys, how is it going?
Like 2 weeks ago, a friend gave me a Xperia X10i asking for a help on fixing it, it's from someone else and no one knows how the phone got "broke/bricked".
- First time I grab phone and press power button a red led blinked 3 times, several tries and phone sometimes just gave one red blink, other times 3, so I plugged it to charger all night.
- Next day, pulled out battery and tried again, the phone blinks green light once and vibrate for a half second, then nothing. Had to pull battery out and in again and press power button and same situation.
- Computer detects phone and ask drivers, this happens if I plug it with or without back key pessed for flashmode.
What I've tried:
- Installed PC Companion and tried a software update, program notifys me that my phone already have the lattes firmware.
- Installed SEUS and it ask me to turn phone on to update it, which is not possible at the moment.
- Tried a DOS+Java flasher with another firmware and it hangs on process (tried changing Java versions on PC, tried with 3 different OSs, 32 and 64 bits).
- Installed Flashtool and tried to flash but hangs on process too (tested 0.2 and 0.9 versions with diferent roms/kernels/java versions).
Phone still the same, once I press power button for turning on, green light blinks once and vibrate for a half second.
I up to to start all over, fresh windows/linux install (tell me which version), what java and other software versions you tell me are the best.
I've been reading over here and over there but seems that I'm missing something, or must of the times the links are dead, and can't get the decent roms and stuff.
Any help will be apreciated, thanks and regards, Andres.

I don't know what exactly happened to the phone but I think the owner has been removed some parts of software (like kernel or rom)
Do these:
1-put a sdcard in phone & try booting up(some custom kernels won't bootup without sdcard)
2-connect charger & try booting when charger is connected
#if these steps doesn't work it means it's 99/99% a software problem,so we need to reflash stock frimware:
1-download flashtools app (not latest! New versions doesn't include x10i drivers! )
2-Install it
3-download stock frimware from the net
4-go to wherever you installed flashtools& open frimware folder, paste downloaded frimware there (in ftf format, if not rename it!)
5-in the flashtool folder now open drivers folder, open & install "Gordon's gate" app then run it,
6- now open flash tools, click on lightning button & press flashmode.
7-select frimware & press next
After a while you'll be asked for attaching phone so hold back button & connect USB cable.
*You're done
#if asked for drivers ,extract the x10i's driver.zip & install like other devices (drivers are for flashmode)

Thanks for the answer, I'll give a try when reach home, all my attempts were without SIM card on it, so maybe I got luck there, thanks again.
Same results with SIM card on it, folled your step by step too.
The far I coud go was with flashtool-0.9.10.1-windows stucks on reading device info, and FlashTool_0.2.9.1-GBready_root_xRec stucks on flashing kernel.sin, it's hard to make it flash as it's like I plug phone on flashmode, it disconnects and connects again in an eye blink and flash gets aborted.
Tested on Windows 7 x64/Java 7u21 and on Windows XP x86/Java 6/u20 on same Desktop PC
Also tryied to flash some stock based kernel and CM10 custom firmware but same results.
Is there any special version for flashtool for X10i?
Maybe my drivers are bad but I have installed the ggsetup-2.2.0.11 and Windows detects phone fine.
Do you try PC Companion's repair?

Maybe my PC Companion version is not the right one (seems like I got lattest, it's the 2.10.136, downloaded from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/), I've read on other threads that PC Companion has a repair function, I navigate inside Support Zone and can only see Phone Software Update, Xperia Care and recycle phone, software update just tells me that my phone already has the lattest firmware and other 2 options brings a web page up, I can't see a repair option there =/
Did any of you guys have an older PC Companion setup file to share?

1-Do you hold "back " button till progress finish?
2-try drivers inside flashtools app (in "drivers" folder )
+make sure battery is at least 10% charged cause sometimes USB won't charge phone correctly

Thanks, I didn't realized that the behaviour of the software was different if phone was plugged or not to the PC, the repair function only shows up if phone is unplugged... Sorry again.
Now that I can go throught the repair menu, after select the phone model the software reports "There's no software available for your device", maybe the server is down at the moment, I've tried different models and all gives me the same report, I'll give a try with some USA proxy.
Thanks again.

Already tryed all that except that I can't see the battery level as screen never turns on, but I've left the phone several nights and at the morning tryed flashing and same results, it seems to be charged as when I've recived the phone it wont try to turn on, it was only blinking red lights.
I'll try to contact SE support tomorrow, to see if they can send me the files as the software stills reporting that there are no sofware to download for my device (I'm trying every day).
Thanks again.
I have one problem with my x10, I've tried to update software to Android 2.3, but in the middle of update I have accidently cancled installation. Now phone won't turn on it is freezing at the SE logo, I also can't connect it with PC. I have tried with PC Companion, Flashtool, S1tool also with repair option in PC companion, but the PC won't recognize phone. I have installed xRecovery which also I can't reach now, but just for the record I'am abel to get into flash mode(green diode lights up, when I hold back button and plug usb), but obviesly it doesen't matter because the PC won't recognize the device.
Is there any way the bring this thing from death?

As long as it can reach flashmode you can recover it, maybe try a different usb-port. You're using the original cable that came with the phone?

Maybe you can try keeping the usb-cable plugged in, and when it asks for flashmode press home-and powerbuttons at the same time, but only when it asks for flashmode, not before that. If the phone is in flashmode before the software is ready it won't work.
Hello,
I isntalled that rom with kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391858. and the problem is now that my pc, cant see my phone, i tried every method i found on the site. i instaled all drivers and reinstaled from flashtool like 10 times, and my pc still doesnt see device. while i try to connenct via fasboot. i have the violet light for like 2 sekonds and after it the device starts to boot normally, same is with flashboot. flash tool does not give any msg of connecting a device. can any tell a way to get it working? i want to flash to stock soft. but i cant cause nothing sees the device with installed drivers.
FOrogot to ad that i flashed the aospa rom, cause i thought i will get usb working atlast. but im stuck now on com.android.phone stopped working, and i cant even download any other rom using phone:
EDIT
Just read in nemesis kernel topic "* Computer/PC Companion and even Flash Tool cannot detect.". so Any ideas how can i flash it. without have any other rom on sd card? I will be rlly happy if someone can help me, i know i made a big mistake but not doin recovery, first time i not did and all went wrong.
do u have SUS? (Sony Update Service)
try connecting with SUS if SUS don't detect your phone then flashtool will not detect your phone also.
Well it doesnt not see to, In my opinion no porgram will see it if device manager cant see it, but now after some slleep i got and idea. Could it be maybe the problem of to old micro usb cable. because my got broken. and i have to use from my sister that has samsung wave.
Good Luck.
LED should be blue not violet for fastboot.
Make sure the phone is shut down first, press volume up + power for 10-15 seconds untill you feel 3 vibrations.
Well whatever coulour it is violet or blue. I press the volume up connect the phone to usb. And i got this coulur for 2-3 second and then it goes to charging mode. it happens every time. Same happens to flashboot. Green for 2-3 sec and the it goes to charging mode.

It's not "whatever" if it's violet it means it's waiting for vol- to enter CWM and not entering fastboot.
Make sure the phone is turned off as I explained.
Phone is turned of, I allways wait for those 3 vibrations before i begin the process. And here to enter the cwm is blue, and for fastboot i have violet. If i had a camera i would record it to prove it.

THey say nothing, As i say in the first post. PC does not see the device, Flastool handles as nothing has been conected. same device manager on wondows. no poop outs that drivers are missing, or anything.. Fastboot has allways waiting for device, doesnt matter how much i try to onnect. It worked before. I tried on other laptop but its same. Thats why later i wrot that maybe this cable is to old for that phone. But it works for other phones.

Hi there,
yesterday I tried to root my new Tablet Z (16GB, LTE, Model: SGP321, Firmware: 10.4.B.0.569) and it doesn't start since then.
I used an ubuntu live CD for all these tasks because fastboot doesn't work on my win 8.1 and my debian wheezy didn't have the libc-dev needed in its repositories (didn't want to mess with packets that weren't yet integrated into my OS).
What I did:
unlock the bootloader according to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/how-to-root-10-4-b-0-569-t2590781
a few annotations to this:
the firmware rar didn't include a "Recover.zip", so I used the boot.img directly inside the firmware rar
although sony and this CM tutorial use the "-i" parameter of fastboot, I didn't use it because it wasn't used by the tutorial
after I did the "fastboot reboot" step, the device wasn't listed anymore when typing "fastboot devices", which, I think, is okay since the device should restart then.
I think it didn't really restart, because the LED on the side glew red.
I tried to turn on the tablet but it didn't do anything (the LED kept glowing red).
I tried holding vol up and power for a few seconds (until the LED blinked first once and then three times) but the tablet wouldn't do anything except for the LED glowing red. at somepoint, the LED would turn off (I think that happened when I hold vol up and power for more than 10 sec).
I was able to let it glow red again by pressing vol up and power again and release the vol up button before the power button.
I also tried to use the PC companion on my windows machine to repair the tablet but the tablet wasn't even recognized (either using the fastboot-procedure by holding vol up while connecting the tablet nor normal plugging in...)
any ideas what I could do next?
Same Problem!
Hey wullxz!
I have the same problem. Red LED most of the time, and I cannot make ANY USB connection to the PC. The tablet won't show up in the device manager. So obviously cant use flashtool, nor PC companion. Ive tried all this volume up and down button stuff, but simply cannot get it to show up on the computer.. Tried a different USB cable as well.. Same issue. The USB port is definitely not broken. Its brand new..
Have you found any solution ? Or anyone else? Mine just got back from Sony Repair.. they wont fix it cuz they detected that Ive tampered with the original software.... meaning Warranty Lost!
Great!
hi,
i also sent mine to sony for a repair. i wrote that i did a firmware update and the tablet wouldn't boot afterwards.
i didn't try the bootloader-unlock again afterwards.
Help Needed!
Tablet Z with unlocked bootloader and rooted 10.1.C.0.370
My issues occured after a downgrade to 4.1.2.
I CAN:
1) Start my tablet, everything normal...
2) Charge my tablet
3) Go into safe mode
4) Go into fastboot mode (solid BLUE LED)
5) Use the memory card and use root apps (maybe this could help restore?)
I CAN NOT:
1) Get my PC to recognize that a USB device is connected. Neither in Mass Storage mode, Media mode, nor fastboot mode.
- Tried with several cables and computers (this is not a driver issue, since it won't show up at all in device manager)
- Flashtool obvious;y says, no device connected
2) Get in to flashmode: device blinks red for about half a second, then green for half a second, and then LED is off. Nothing recognized via USB on PC
3) Get into recovery mode
4) Update over WIFI (fails because unlocled bootloader I suppose)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i think you should open a new thread for your problem because it seems like it's not really similar to my issue.
you should get more/better replies in an own thread.

let it charge to 100%, check for flashmode drivers installed and then try attaching it to pc only when flashtool asks you to do it.

Hey thanks for your reply... It wont go into flashmode... Theres something fundamentally wrong.. I cant figure out what... I leave it plugged in for 48 hours..but it doesnt really get full.. the most Ill get the orange LED.. like 50%... now its on since about 12 hours.. no LED on at all... strange..
But yea.. no flashmode... Nothing showing up when connecting the USB cable... nothing in device manager..and therefore flashtool sees nothing!
SOLVED
Problem solved! I can't believe it. Two bad(?) USB cables. Bought a new one, charges fine, flashmode fine. Flashed stock ROM.
However the Camera still doesn't work. Maybe the problem of the cable inside which may have come loose!
