Hello,first i am new here,yes and like 40% noob about android.Let's pass to the subject,yesterday i just closed my Motorola Fire XT 530 because I wanted to charg it faster (noob action) and let it charging in my laptop while i was watching a movie and then I was trying to open it,but nothing it's just stucked at Moto logo (M) just appears after some secs appears and black screen and then is restarting again.I tryed all keys combinations to enter in recovery menu becase wanted to "Reset to factory settings".I remember that last thing i've done was that i checked the set cpu "Start at boot" or something and installed some apps from an dev from here with the name of the thread "Best app for your Android" i think.I am very sad i bought it from Euronics.it, a shop from Italy but in 2 days going back to my county but i have someone here that can receive it back from the shop. P.S. Rooted,link2SD used... Very very Sad,this phone has 8 days.. I will be very gratefully if someone would try to help me,Thank you,with respect,Vlad :crying: :crying:
P.S.
I dont care if apps or settings will be deleted!

That's what I was thinking. You can never over wipe.
Turn off the phone. Might be you have to hold the bottom-middle button + power button (on the top). When it seems to be starting again (could be you have to turn it on again, but not shure) hold the "back button" (bottom right). So you end up where you installed the miniCM from (CWM-based Recovery)... There you should "wipe data/factory reset", and in "advanced" you should "wipe Dalvik cache". Not sure if you need a factory reset, but if you do this you should be in the clear... If not, I think you flashed the wrong rom.

I think a factory reset is essential. I had some problems installing a rom and hunted all over the net for a guide to installing them. Lots of sites say you need to do a factory reset.
Ok so my problem is that i eooted my wife galaxy ice without any problem, i downloaded rom manager and download nice custom rom, so at this time i lieft phone at home and go to work. At this time i didnt know that rom manager is not suporting ace device. MY WIFE KNOW a bit about rooting because she saw me rooting all of my androud device,so while a went to work she want to suprise me and she want to instal custom rom on her own so she went to rom manager and when rom manager ask her to confirm device name ahe couldnt find ace on the list, so for some stupid reazon she choose huwei phone and she flashed cwm. After that she go to instal rom from sd and she choose cynanogen ics rom,phone go to reboot but it never turn on again, i try go to download mode but it wont go to it, i remooved battery press three magic buttons and at the same time inserting battery qbut noting pc is not recognizing device. The only way for pc to recognize my phone is when i press volume up+home+power(like recovery mode) when i do this my pc is recognizing my wife ace and odin can see it also,but when i try to flash stock rom odin stock on "setupconnection" i closed all kies backgrounds but still same. I also try jig to boot in to download mode but it wont work.

Try if you can go to download mode again or recovery mode..
if not..
simply give it to the service center and tell them it simply stopped working when i woke up one fine morning...
most of the time bricking with rom manager is unrecoverable by users, only service center can repair it. i think i saw a guy claimed he recovered his bricked-by-rom-manager ace in a thread before but couldn't remember which thread it is.
try to search for the thread.

Probably have to change the whole motherboard, it's probably better to get a new phone at this stage. Another way (don't get your hopes up) is to use JTAG, that will probably work but if you dont know anyone with the equipment the pricing will actually be more expensive than the Ace itself.
Additionally, it would be wiser to state your actual problem on the thread title.

i bricked my phone while going from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5
If your phone doesn’t boot into download mode and you have a black screen after flashing heres how you unbrick it, it worked for me .
Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash (in my case was gingerbread 2.3.3) and get it ready to go;
Step 2 – Remove battery and connect your galaxy ace to the computer;
Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;
Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;
Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your SG Ace ( Yellow rectangle should appear);
Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
step 7- if force close issue come-- boot into recovery mode by pressing middle button+power and then releasing power button (keeping middle button still pressed) wipe data wipe cache ..
reboot
If all goes well it should come back to life.
at last service centre is the only choice.. tell them u installed antivirus from market one night and other day u find it un-bootable

choice depends on you.... its that are u a good actor and can u convince
If I'm not wrong you can bring it back using a jtag box, 25 pounds could get yourself that.
But just repair it it's easier.
I think You go to service center tell them that your phone got switched off when You were talking on the phone and then it never started again and always act like Noobs in front of them.....
I hope you have warranty for your ace

I got the solution : For bricked ice........ Take an
Icepick.... .. Sorry, but this pass was too good....
I have come across such a situation and successfully have brought back my ace to life. (Disclaimer: I am not saying these are the steps to recover any bricked device, but this is a method i followed once when i bricked my device by following a wrong flashing method)
Just remove the battery and try to switch on normally without pressing any combination. It would not do anything but would drain remains completely.
Then do not put the battery back for a while (in my case i kept it for 5 mins)
Then again follow the same procedure without battery, just press the power button for 10 secs without pressing any other keys and see what happens. It should remain blank.
After that, try to connect the USB cable and then press power + v down + center key and see if it goes to download mode. If not, then put in the battery without removing the cable, then see if it automatically switches on to emergency recovery mode (It should).
Next when u see the emergency recovery screen, now try going to download mode by using the combination (power + vdown + center)
Please let me know if this works. ( I hope this should work)
service center
buy "USB Jig" so the phone will start in download mode and you can easily flash it with odin.

Here's the solution:
Step 1: Buy a baseball bat
Step 2: Get home
Step 3: Beat up yo wench with the bat and scream "You dumb *****! Make me a sandwich".

I've done same what your wife do before.. so i tried every thing but still cant unbrick..
Just send to servis centre if you still have warranty..
I tell them i was on fb but it( ace) goes off..
If u doesnt have warranty anymore just go to phone shop tell them to change your ace board..
Just click thanks if i help u..

Sup! k... first of all, sorry for my horrible english (it's not my native language) so... here we go!
I got a Xperia U (ST25a) a couple of days ago, being touchin' here and there... have change the Stock Rom for a Custom one... replace the Kernel... everything was going well till... I ****ed up -.- so, the short story is: i find another Custom Rom, so wanted to try it out, i format the internal memory, reboot the phone, enter in recovery mode, wipe this and that, like always do before trying a new Rom... and then BAM! someone shoot me in the leg! nah I'm just kiddin' but yes... BAM! i realize that i formatted my internal memory before! so there is no custom Rom to install!... then I freak out and reboot my phone >.< end of story.
Now when i turn it on, just goes 'till "SONY" logo and nothing more...
I've tried Flashtools... but when I need to connect the phone in flash mode, nothing happens, I mean, Volume down... then connect to the PC but Flashtools doesn't recognize my phone. The phone power up with a green led (the one in the lower left corner... and a red one in the upper right corner, the one near the front camera)
I've tried SEUS, and it's the same, but... appears to recognize my phone... kinda... because it says that there is no update available for my phone, not up to date... no update at all ._. (same with PC Companion)
So... any ideas? I just killed my poor phone? T^T

I did updated my phone to ICS the day i bought it.
I used the bluetooth numerous number of times, but never had any problem,
but day b4 yesterday i used the sony factory widget to turn on bluetooth, i dont remember if i did used it before to turn bluetooth on or not.
The phone stopped responding for 2 sec, i thought its normal for android, and then it restarted.Until that point it was normal..
But then its stuck in bootloop.....
i saw various posts and have seen people have got to boot into system once in a while....
but bad for my luck i am trying from 24hrs... but no luck...
out of 10 boots or when battery is removed from phone from long time, phone shows lock screen for a milisecond and goes back to XPERIA logo and same story continues...
FYI: i had previous soft brick when used OTA update but got rid of it using "UnbrickingXperia2011.zip",

Hi members,
Today morning suddenly my M4 aqua touch was not working.
I restarted phone using volume up + power button as per sony customer care guidance.
But after restarting only sony xperia logo comes and goes.
I repaired phone using sony pc companion. But no use.
After updating again sony xperia logo comes and goes continuously.
Please help me as service center is very far from my town.

Your phone seems to be stuck in a bootloop.
Press the Power button+Volume up button and hold, till you get a screen which is the recovery screen!
Now, you should be able to see options like Wipe Cache, and Factory reset.
In order to get out of this bootloop situation, first tap on Clear Cache.
Then tap on Factory reset.
THIS METHOD WILL DELETE ALL USER DATA.
But you can't really backup anything since you don't have access to the phone.
Try this out, and keep me posted.
Don't worry, All is Well!

Download flashtool, flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489955
Set it up correctly and instal;l the drivers.
Download the ftf file for YOUR DEVICE, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142 ,or the last tab at the top of the flashtool.
Once you have found it, click it and download it by clicking it on the far right, make sure unpack automatically is checked.
Let it download and then flash tool will assemble it as the ftf file for you, and it will be in the correct folder. Cick the lightning button and select flash mode, select the ftf file that should apear in the list.
Folow the on screen instructions, it will take a while to flash, once finished it will say "unlug and reboot phone£
Do that and your done.
Cant fail with the flash tool
Let me know how you get on. Goodluck.
is your display ok (no small hairline cracks UNDER glass)?
I did all from your instructions and even try repair option in PC Companion but, had no errors but my e2303 remains stuck on the Sony logo (looping). I bought the phone online second hand and it arrived like that. I did bootloader unlock procedure in flashtool successfully and when i run it again it offers relock now so i assume it was good. However, if i try sony official bootloader unlock instructions via adb, i get error. I guess it's debug over usb and unknown sources related but since i can't boot to system there is no way to check that.
I'll mention i did try several ftf versions and all flashing went without errors (as with pc companion repair) but no result. Did i got scammed totally (i know i am as the phone should be working) and bought a phone that even can't get repaired?
Help guys
Do you have deleted or disabled my Xperia app before unlock? Maybe beacause this. I read when unlock and active my Xperia, phone is like paperweight
I got the phone like this, stuck on Sony/Xperia logo so i don't know what happened and what is the cause
Hi,
Apparently this is a more frequent issue than I'd have thought.... A relative of mine brought me his M4 Aqua e2303 with the same symptoms: it tries to boot, shows the Sony Logo (Xperia on the bottom of the screen) and it just loops. Screen goes off-then-on and the same thing. I've tried EVERYTHING. Bootloader was locked, so as a desperate measure I even unlocked it via Flashtool. First I tried Sony PC Companion App and automatic repair. It went smoothly but the phone was still stuck, then I flashed the last ROM via Flashtool. Again, everything went OK, but the phone was still stuck. I flashed a different ROM, the European Press version, since it's a little bit older, and suddenly something changed. The boot sequenced advanced from the Sony Screen to the waves screen, even with the music, but it just freezes and reboots itself 3 or 4 seconds after the blue-ish waves screen appears and the melody starts playing. Fastboot works, and I even pushed a custom recovery image. It boots, works, touchscreen and everything, and I can wipe everything (which I even did) but to no positive result. I've read about theft protection bricking some M4 Aqua phones, but this one had a locked bootloader, so it's out of the question (I think)
I'm absolutely dumbfounded... the only thing that comes to mind at this point is a hardware failure. My relative got the screen replaced, but everything was working fine after that, so I guess some cable/ribbon/whatever could get loose over time? Any idea?
I've learned a lot reading this thread and XDA Dev generally. Thanks, guys, great community.
hi,
i got to this problem too - M4 E2303:
1) unlocked bootloader
2) played around with the infinite possibilities of an unlocked bootloader.
3) killed android one way or another (debloating by hand, etc) - but it all worked again, thanks to the custom recovery
4) repeated step 3 a few times, until i liked the result
5) when creating the backup in recovery mode, the phone overheated constantly - so i submerged it
and this is how it went sour... i am still not sure, if the killing blow was dealt by heat, water or some other action - the phone just shuts down when i start it, while custom recovery works. flashing works also - over fastboot and the normal fashmode.
the interresting part is, that after flashing the bl back to locked even the sony recovery tool accepted it and flashed it again - but it won't boot anything else, just recovery (after unlocking and flashing it again, of course)
the only possibly useful info i got for you, is this log message in the twrp-console, which i did notice since then:
unable to recreate and-sec folder
maybe this helps others to identify the problem/solution for these strange bootloops
p.s.: even though it is only one possibility for what killed my phone: DO NOT use "the waterproof phone"(tm) under water
p.p.s: Cyanogenmod 12.1 works (well, as "well" as on any other m4) - i just installed that from an sdcard via twrp
I have a xperia m4 aqua, it have the same problems, but I´m thinking if a break glass or a crack has something to see with this problem, can you e-mail me? [email protected] please.
Hey, mine is also stuck in a bootloop.
had the wifi of for 3 days straight. Next time switching wifi on the phone just shuts down and gets stuck in a bootloop for like 45-60 minutes. Wifi is off, as soon as I activate wifi again. Same all over.
Any suggestions?
Did a restore from the original software also with other versions.
I guess its a hardware problem. But no glue how and why
got same problem here, could it be because glass is cracked?

Ahm i have the same problem too. Please tell me how to use flash tools on mac os
Hello everyone,
I have the same problem. It started when i saw that i had no 4G internet connection, so i thought lets restart my phone and yes now its in the bootloop .
I tried all kinds of resets, i tried to flash my phone which i did with succes, but still have the bootloop.
Now i have some questions:
- when did your bootloop started?
- Did u play pokemon Go?
- Was your phone warm or cold?
- Could it be a storage thats full?
- Do i have to bring my phone back or do i have to buy a new one?
- Could it be an software update that caused this?
The pokemon go thing is because it is a possibility that the game overheated your phone and maybe some hardware got damaged because of that.
i'm not sure of this, but there is a great change that thats the problem.
Hope we find the answer.
