hi guys, I've got a problem with my my xperia u. it was fine, running the sspeed ka03 rom and sspeed kernel v6.1, but suddenly it shat down and I wasn't able to turn it on, so I plugged it to the charger (not PC) and waited for it to charge. after a while I unplugged it and tried to turn it on but all what I got was the charging led blinking red several times. I charged again and I noticed that it started booting by its own, apparently at random, but it didn't even reach the boot animation, but it was enough to boot the cwm. I did a factory reset and rebooted, this time I reached the lock screen but the battery was 1% and the device shat down immediately. that was the only time that I was able to boot the device completely. now I'm waiting for other random boots to load the cwm and reflash the whole ROM. I'd like to know if this happened to any of you and if you have a solution. thank you very much
I'm Italian and my English is not perfect, so I hope you understand and I apologize for any error.

1. Try different charging cable/adapter/charger!!

I won't be at home for about a week, but anyway the charger is working fine with my galaxy nexus and it's external battery charger, and it has been working fine with the xperia til yesterday. however I'll try other charges when I'll be able to.
I actually think that the battery is charged since I've been able to perform a full nandroid backup with the cwm and it surely used more than 1% of battery. so I don't understand what's going on with this device...

send it to the repair center or remove and connect the battery while charging
i've been able to boot the cwm, I formatted all the partitions (system, data, cache) and i flashed again the ROM. now the device is working fine. thanks to everyone for the advices

The battery is simply over drained. You need to charge longer before you can restart the phone.
your device batter was over drained, charge more longer time dude
after having this issue for way too long, i tried the obvious, i got a precision screwdriver (the flat one, and a very little one) and bent JUST A LITTLE the inside part of the usb cole (the part that has the tracks that connects to the charger) upwards. That was the problem....with the time, it got bent more and more downwards and started barelly making contact with the usb charger, by bending it upwards (i repeat, less than 1 milimeter, its very little) my phone got normal again, as all the tracks started now to make full contact with the charget.
Im not responsabile for ur phone and what happens to it, but that works.

My X10 suddenly cannot turn on, press the power button, only flashing the red led 3 times(battery is full), the screen display nothing, press any button has no response, I do not know what the problem, please help...
Sounds like the battery is flat, maybe a problem with the charger or usb plug is not charging the battery? Does the light go on when you plug the charger in? Does it go green, if not then it would indicate a battery /charger problem

I faced the same issue.
My phone's problem was that when I upgraded to a new ROM, I didnt wiped the battery stats.
And phone was not turning on as the battery was flat and it was not charging also.
This is what I did.
Opened flash tool.
Removed the battery.
Pressed back button of phone and connected USB to phone and PC.
Inserted the battery.
Now I see the green LED means phone is in flash mode.
I kept phone like that for almost 10 mins ! (battery will actually charge a little when we do so)
Later I disconnected and switched on phone and it worked !
The first thing I did was rebooting into recoevry and wiping battery stats.
And the actuall battery was less than 10 % !
You can have a try this way and see if it can be fixed.
Good luck !
I did the same as Runaway Bunny. It worked perfectly after that. Just be sure to wipe the battery stats and FULLY charge your phone immediately.
EDIT
I ALSO had an issue with the USB port going bad so you may watch for that as well if the above does not work.
And let us know how you made out.
Thats very bad i kept my phone 5-6 hours on charge and it turned on this happened to me 3 times in a day
EDIT:My battery got to 5-0% in 2 secs and it turned off at that time it was my brand new phone...

I've been followed the step, but it show red LED (flash slowly) not green LED.
seems not the same problem, thanks!
What you see in LogCat when you use USB while switching on ?
I guess, now you can start ADB while switching on and wipe stats through command prompt, hope it helps.
I also had the same problem but fixed it as "Bunny" mentioned (Cute name though)

I know this is a late addition, but if all else failed then it very well might be the usb cord, i had to replace mine as it stopped working. I picked up 2 on ebay for $4 which included postage and 2 replacement batteries set me back $10 delivered

Hi,
my SGS 2 will not start anymore. It displays a strange battery indicator (the waiting one, and then loading indicator) on the display when off. It does not boot up.
I got it to boot with the key combination to boot into recovery. But only on charger and with around 30 tries.
The phone works without problems. The only thing which you can see when booted is that the charging symbol in the status bar does not go away and the battery stats always tell that your phone is just unplugged for some seconds.
Is this a hardware defect? battery destroyed? Tried a second one. Same problem. But used external charging station for both batteries. Maybe this could have destroyed it.
But now using original charger does not change anything. Everytime I switch it off it is just bootable with that strange key combination on a charger.
I did not see these bug description before in the internet.
The phone is rooted with ICS Custom ROM. But no problems with that the time before.
Please help me.

Your charging port is short-circuited. If you repeatedly twist your charging port when the charger is connected, e.g. sleeping on your phone by accident because it's on your bed with you, leaving it in the couch and sitting on it when on charger, it will get damaged and short-circuit. Now you need maintenance. Flashing will not help. A way of cleaning the charging pins will help clear the port.

What recovery are you using? I've only had that problem when using older CWM recoveries on this phone. Try using 4EXT recovery it resolved all my issues and the developer supports his product.

+1 on checking your recovery. I had this problem when I was using TWRP (or whatever the acronym is) recovery. I switched over to 4EXT and haven't encountered that problem since. To update the recovery you may need to acquire a charged Amaze, HTC Evo 3d, or Sensation battery. :/
It may be the cwm your using

Mine does this occasionally too, but only when using a USB or car charger never an AC charger. I am also using 4ext touch.

There is definitely something wrong. You need to return everything to stock and call htc.

I think it has to do with the heating this happens when my phone gets to hot I fixed it by flashing the new kernel haven't had a heating problem in a while

Last night I installed 7-22 JB kt Kernel over 7-20 CM 10 (wiped cache, dalvik, and fixed permissions) and had an extremely strange issue. I plugged my phone in and all was good, charging ect. When I went to sleep I had my phone plugged in to charge since battery was quite low. I woke up and picked up my phone to check emails and my phone was off. I booted it back up and noticed I only had 7% left on batt. So I checked battery usage in settings and saw a bunch of spaces like the phone was turned off then back on numerous times (50+ times). and in between restarts were marks on charging bar too. So I went out to do my daily things and charged my phone. (it would only charge to 60%all day) I used my phone alot and the battery died because I was not near a charger. Now phone will vibrate and led will flash but not charge. I cant get into download mode either. I'm hoping its just a glitch with my battery or sonething but I'm getting no response from phone after it vibrates.
Edit: I have ss of battery but cant access phone
U can try zo pull out the bat for at least 10 minutes then insert it back and see if that fixes your issue got that once in the past on my sgs2 while flashing a corrupted 3 part rom and fixed it this way

HELP! Guys. Most of you must be knowing me. I make custom ROMs for your phones. My Xperia SOLA was working perfectly FINE last night.
I've not done anything to the phone for a few days. Same CM9 ROM for 5 days now, not a single change. Put my phone for charging at night, and now it won't start.
If I plug to charging or USB, it shows RED LED. Cannot Fastboot, Cannot go into Flashmode, cannot Soft Reset, Cannot completely switch off device.
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING! Help guys, I can't buy a new phone it's been less than 6 months. And I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING to make the phone like this in the first place!!!
PLEASE HELP!

You charge your phone with the phone on or off?
If off, probably your kernel doesnt support offline charging. That's why it wont charge your phone.
I've been there too, try to press the "reset button" (vol + + power) and see if the phone vibrates, and if yes do it vibrate 3 times and try to get it going again in flashmode.
My phone have locked bootloader, i don't know if it is a kernel error..

Tried everything. Flashing and all.
Kept trying to Hard SHUT DOWN.
Finally plugged into charger again and left it for an hour. Managed to boot. Charged 1% in 30 minutes (Was stuck at 0% till I wiped battery stats again).
Waited for 2% then flashed stock ICS. Charged till full (took 3 hours) then back to CM9
Hello! Sorry for digging this up, I can't find help anywhere. My girlfriend has the same problem with her SOLA, that is not in warranty time by now. When I plug in the charger red light turns on and then off after a few seconds. Does not respond to Vol Up + Pwr or anything. What did you exactly do to get it to charge?
Thanks in advance
