Xperia S totally briked, what to do? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello, I have looked a lot around here but didnt find the solution
I was touching "the "android.policy.odex" for a mod and phone rebooted into sony logo all time. With CWM recovery I tried to restore a backup but It failed
Phone still on sony logo, not boot, the only thing I can do is turn it off by pressing power + volume up a few seconds. It turns off but now, what to do?
I have locked bootloader.
If I try to turn on, it remains in sony logo... recovery doesnt work too
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

First of all you must hold power+volume up keys till you recieve 3 times vibrate ( after first vibrate you continue holding till it happens )
In this time your phone goes off , and then flash a new official ROM by useing a flashtool if you rooted your phone otherwise use SUS or sony pc campanion to repaire your phone.
Attention: After powering off don't power on again because put you back the first situation

[Q] PLEASE HELP! U20i X10 mini pro stucked

Hello.
I have a problem. Shortly:
I've installed a new rom, aAn's CM7mod, i think the v2.2, because i couldn't get the tethering work with the other rom. Okay, CWM recovery, install, reboot.. Then for one week was stuck at Sony Ericsson logo, i tried to take out the battery even for 2 days, everything, but still stucked.
Now i tried the flashtool, disconnect the phone, take out the battery, then put it back, press back button, connect usb, green led appears, 5 secs and the phone starts, exits the flashmod. So i cannot get into the flash mode, to make a recovery.
Pls give me advice. Thanks.

no, i didn't... how were you thinking of making a recovery in flashtool then?
well, this would be my question. what can I do? cannot get in the flashmod more than 4-5 seconds, because the phone is starting, and getting stucked at SE logo.

Do you have the kernel you need for the ROM you flashed?
Anyway, if you start up PC Companion or SEUS with the phone disconnected and choose update, it will give you a repair option. choose that, select your phone-model, it will download the firmware for it and ask you to connect your phone flashmode. It doesn't need flashmode for very long, it will connect within a couple of seconds. once the popup-dialog disappears jsut leave your phone alone and you will be back on stock firmware.
Thanks will try that, than im comeing with the news..

You can try to enter flashmode by pressing HOME and POWER button at the same time, that will give it a hard reboot. As soon as the screen goes black (backlight off too), press the back-button. Do this with the usb-cable already attached to your phone and your pc. Ofcourse you do this only when flashtool or SEUS/PC Companion show you the popup to connect your phone in flashmode.
I had the same problem with my E10i, and that home+power than back b. combo helped! :good:
My cell was stucked on bootlogo, but in E10i (X10mini) you couln't pull out the battery just like that, so if you whant to SEUS repair your phone, you must have the phone turned of completly, but i couldn't do that. So i start SEUS whait till i get to the point when he whant your phone connected, then i press home+power button, managed somehow to plug in USB c. than press the back button and releas the home+power buttons. The rest is history...seus recognize the phone...download the files...and repair my phone.
Good luck mate! Try it! :fingers-crossed:
Okay, i've made it.
Shortly, the 1rst problem was the windows 8, ive reinstalld the 7th and SEUS on it, then easily selected the phonetype from the list, than holding back button, than connecting the cable, easy light clean install and thats it.
Thanks guys.

HELP - Xperia S stuck in boot logo

My Xperia S is just a week old with locked bootloader.
I rooted it and backed it up thru CWM.
I applied a sound mod thru CWM which i did not like so tried to flash back my backup.
Before flashing i wiped everything possible, cache, data, system, dalvik cache, battey stats.
When i tried to flash my backup the recovery says there is ' MD5 Mismatch '
So now my Xperia S is stuck at boot logo, does not go into recovery, does not go into flash mode so i'm not able to flash thru flashtool or seus.
I tried holding Power and Vol Up button , but it only restarts the mobile and again stuck at boot logo.
Pls help i'm losing hopes.
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried turning the phone off, hold vol up and connecting USB and see if you can get it into fastboot mode?

ok dont panic, hold POWER + VOLUME UP and when it vibrates release the buttons. Boot the phone. If its still stuck than hold POWER + VOLUME UP for 20 seconds and repair the phone with seus since its with locked bootloader. If that doesnt work, download firmware around this forum and flash the phone

Anyways, Got my Xperia S back . The service center people just had to charge for a day and flash the back the stock rom . I still dont get it how did they get the device into flash mode.
Another thing i learnt is that from sept 16 all sony ericsson service centers will be shut down and the customers have to go to sony showrooms for repairs or replacements here in india.
Thanks Everyone , topic closed for me.

Bad Recovery
I'm thinking I completely ****ed up my phone, but someone please prove me wrong.
I flashed the ROM but it got stuck on the bootloading screen. So I rebooted into CWM and did a SYSTEM restore.
Problem is, I restored the system to when it did not have CWM flashed yet.
So now, it boots into the custom bootloading image and stays there. When I hold power+volume to reboot into CWM, it loads the original bootloading image (as expected) and gets stuck there because (I'm guessing?) I did not do a full restore.

If you have locked bootloader, repair it via SUS or PC Companion. If you an unlocked bootloader flash the rom (ftf) via flashtool.

Charge your phone. You have to press and hold the volume up and power button simultaneously until the phone vibrates 3 times and turns off completely. Then try to connect the phone in flashmode.

[SOLVED]XMP stuck at Sony logo

so I decided to play with custom ROMs. firstly, I installed Serenity but I couldn't send or receive an MMS, so I switched to OptiMax. I wiped everything before flashing it and the installation worked fine. then I decided that I rather prefer Xperia keyboard than Nexus 4 and some other things, so I opened the ROM in Aroma, reselected all the options that I wanted to choose and ticked all "wipe" options in Aroma menu (not in CWM). the ROM installation went fine, but it got stuck at Sony logo. I've waited and waited and waited, and nothing happened. so I made something that might turn out to be a bit foolish: I took out the battery. after rebooting the phone got stuck on Sony logo again. so I decided I'll reflash it to .58 firmware, root it and upgrade to .587, but when I press vol- and plug in the phone when in Flashtool, the phone turns on and displays Sony logo and gets stuck.
any help please? I've got locked BL and I'd rather not unlock it.
edit: it connected to Flashtool. I'm saved.
You had to turn phone completely off, take battery off, wait 15 seconds, put battery in, hold volume down and while holding connect in flashmode
Please put the [SOLVED] Tag, now you have solved it :good:
er, where do I mark it as solved? I'm not used to the XDA layout yet ^^

Xperia neo mt15i not responsive

Hi,
i have a problem with my xperia neo.
I have locked bootloader, stock ICS rom, no root.
My phone don't boot up.
I tried to restore the phone with SEUS, but nothing changed (the phone can enter in flashboot (back button while connecting to pc)).
I Don't know what to do now. Is there any possibility to unlock the bootloader without powering on the phone?
Thanks

Hey!
'Maybe' something happened to your screen.
Try giving it for repair.
or you can try flashing the ".ftf" file for your mobile.
You can also give it a whack. it worked many times when my speaker stopped working..
please hit ' thanks' if i helped you!
I tried to flash ".ftf" stock ICS, but nothing changed.
I tried to flash stock kernel and ICS. Same result.
The strange thing is that the phone vibrates, when turned on. If I press the power button againe, after few seconds and keep it pushed, the phone vibrates again.
It seems that the phone try to power on, but after 2 or 3 seconds it shuts down again. I tried to change battery, same result.
Does xperia phone have a recovery?
I've read that i can unlock bootloader with Test pins. Then i can try to install a modified recovery (is it possible to install cwm without powering on the phone? only flashmode?). It works with every xperia neo?
I've realized I can enter in flashmode (with back button while connecting to PC) but not in Fastboot mode (menu button).
I'm SIM unlocked.
Yea..u can use testpoint to unlock bootloader...ur supposed to do it without battery..coz u need to ground it via negative pins..
But be very careful while doing so...read evrythin before u start...
Once unlocked..flash a kernel..then Rom..
If u dont wanna take the risk...goto the service centre...
Nd did flashtool show any error??
Did it! Thank you mate!
Unlocked bootloader with testpins, flashed cwm and new rom.
Thanks again.

Bootloop with no working recovery

Hey there,
So I wanted to boot my phone to recovery (which i had installed some time ago) to make a backup, but the phone would just boot normally.
So i decided to install dual recovery from my pc. When it should ask me for root permission it didn't. I thought it's ok and rebooted anyway.
There is sony logo on the screen, then the screen goes black, the phone turns off and shows sony logo again.
I've dealt with bootloops a lot in the past, but How can i escape this loop if I don't have any working recovery?
Please, help me I'm really desperate :crying:

ah do u know how to get into flash mod!! press volume down botton and plug it with pc .. hope it works if no check if the z2 driver is really installed and flashtool drivers too .. hope u fix ur phone
Yeah I know... Everything installed it just won't do anything besides showing sony logo and restarting no matter what I do...
I think it tries to boot into recovery which isn't there
My phone was bootlooping the other day and holding the power button wouldn't turn it off. I found though that Holding Power + Vol Up for some reason gave it a few vibrates and powered it off.
When phone was off I could then hold down Vol Down and plug in for flash mode and reflashed the TFT. Good luck.

yes of course you have to turn the phone off before trying to start it in flash mode. the power plus Vol Up will power off the Phone after the vibrations. after that you need to keep pressing vol Down and connect it to PC flashtool
