i cant get the device to boot into flashmode anymore.
there used to glow a green or blue led light when i connected the device in flash or fastboot mode.
at the current state all i can get is the red led on top to glow if i connect to charger or usb.
im willing to give the device away if someone wants to change for any working sony smartphone..

Remove the battery. ..wait for about a minute...then reinsert battery and boot into fastboot mode by pressing VOLUME UP key and plug in the usb

Just remove your battery hold down forminute and by pressing
(volume down + plug the usb cable)
U can see green led...and ofcourse flash tool log also said the device connected in flashboot mode...
Now select the firmware.ftf and start flashing.
Restart ur phone done..!
Enjoy.

I bricked my phone
I bricked my xperia U as well... When i tried to power ON, it just vibrates and nothing happens, i dont even get the sony logo. When i get into flash boot mode it gets connected but after 30secs, the phone turns off again. Only fastboot mode stays on. How can i unbrick my phone??? Plz help. I made a mistake by flashing the custom jelly bean rom without flashing the kernel first.

Well no need to panic....
As ur saying ur device connects in fastboot mode just flash the kernel with CWM recovery (r d one u got iwth the zip in JB rom)..
den install JB from the zip (assuming zip present in sdcard)......
it will solve ............
By the way ur bootloader unlocked? or not?
Just fixed it.

I have an unlocked bootloader. I tried using fastboot to flash the kernel.elf file in the JB rom zip file but it failed. It said my device had to be rooted and all but my device was already rooted. I used the flashboot fix specified in the thread attached below. It worked and i flashed a stock rom just to be safe and get a working phone.

have you xrecovery 0.3? the new one, maybe do a factory reset and wipe all the things and try it again. if that even not work try wipe dalvik cach and fix permissions
my phone dont enter the XRecovery !!!
what can i do ?
no any other way to install new kernel for add Xrecovery with FlashTool ?
My Status:
1.My phone hang on Sony Ericsson logo
2.My phone cant enter in Xrecovery mode.
3.I cant install new kernel with Flashtool bcoz debugging mode is off.
I had the same problem. I made a thread about it and the solution is on the second page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340161
Basically you got a boot loop and will need to flash a new stock rom and root it again and then put your custom roms if you want.
The solution goes until unlocking a bootloader. If you don't need this, don't do it.

Alright, one thing is what you can do is.
use pc companion and going back to the original Android 2.3
and start all over again.
PC companion asks you to drag down USB,how do you do that,if you are stuck in the start up screen?

No... Just turn off your phone and take out the battery and unplug the USB.
Now hold the back button and put the battery in, it will boot in recovery mode, the green led on the top will light up.
Here you need to plug in the USB quick and flash the stock rom with the flashtool (I suggest having it already selected and the mouse on the button FLASH for quicker use, because the phone does not stay in recovery mode for long, at least mine didnt,)

But your charging light turns orange? That means you should be able to enter fastboot mode. Did you try removing the battery, leave it out of the phone for like a few minutes to be sure.
Then connect USB cable with volume up, without battery in the phone.
Let me know what you get then

Should i be messing with the test pointers to get this undone via hardware..or i should stick to software manipulations using diffrent combos..i hve removed the battery 10 minutes ago,i guess all the capacitor power will be gone by now..so what next should i do..??

First off calm down and think clearly. I hardbricked my S but revived it. First off the recovery should be related to the kernel. Put your battery in and hold volume up and power for ten seconds. Then let it chill for a few minutes. Then try and enter fastboot so you can flash a new kernel. I have NEVER EVER found a phone that couldnt be revived from brick and I have rooted and modded at least 15 different models and manufacturers. It can be done, you just need patience. Fastboot mode is the way to revive a device and once you get the proper kernel on you should be okay. Just keep trying to enter fastboot. Dont run your battery out all the way though, since sometimes you can get it to low the phone cant charge and the charge mode is related to kernel.
I do have same problem, please help me.

i need help just hard brick my xperia s .... no led no fastboot no flashboot....no logo.... nothing at all and i was with 80% battery please mailme at this direction [email protected] i trully need help i dont know what to do anymore
Post your own thread instead of necroing an old one will help. Also saying what happened before the phone died will also help.
Anyway, hold vol up + power for 20 seconds and see if you can get it to vibrate.
If so, after the 3rd vibrate, quickly hold vol down, then jam the USB cable in.
You are now in flashboot. Flash a stock ftf and you should be fine.

Saved my life!
Was stuck into SONY logo after "testing" each CWM function (like the wipe system, etc .. !)
Many thanks!
Xperia U bricked, tried many things but now it gets stuck at "SONY" logo
I am now downloading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974430 stock ROM. can you suggest which kernel I will have to use to flash the boot partition with. and any steps I have to follow before flashing the stock ROM using flashtool ?
Background:-
I rooted my phone then unlocked the bootloader the official way.
Installed CM9. worked fine
Then I wanted to back to stock ROM (for some xyz reason)
I got a vodafone image and recovered the phone by flashing it but touchscreen was not working.
I think I have messed up a lot and now I cant get the CM9 working also (touchscreen doesnt work)
Touchscreen not working, is it a software or hardware related ?
I still believe if its software related it can be fixed somehow.
Thanks.

Hi everyone...
Yesterday my sxp was working alright when i decided to relock bootloader. So I used relock ftf file and flashed it via flashtool. Now I used SUS to update my phone. But when i pressed Vol down and plugged in usb, i just got a red led and sus didn't detect my phone. I thoght battery is not enough, now the situation is:
***when i connect my phone to wall socket, red led turn on for few seconds,then it turn into green led for 1-2 second and then led goes off.
***if i try to use power + vol up/down....no vibration...only blinking red led for couple of seconds
***phone is not being detected by SUS or flashtool, as connecting via usb holding vol down button only gives red led.
I am stuck here. Any help is appreciated.

Its even better if you flash stock before you flash relock tft. Stock kernel works with locked and unlocked bootloader. But if you are using custom or cm kernel, then it will cause exactly what happened to you...

Ohai there... Had this problem myself, and i found out that you have to flash stock firmware after relocking... This also happend to my XGo, and flashing stock firmware fixed the problem! Hope you have a working Xperia P afterwards!
Also charge your phone over night before flashing!
If u cant turn ur phone after hours of charging. ..Take out battery...charge with auto charger...put it on..it will vibrate than flash it...

Force shutdown (Power + VolUP for 10 seconds until vibrating for 3 times) then use fastboot or flashtool to flash its kernel or all.

I had stock ICS first....I installed a memory_tweak which replaced the kernel and that caused the problem ...another cause maybe the phone stuck on AROMA Installer of new JB Rom.....so I had to remove battery in middle of that installer...............That's all I did
If your bootloader is locked just flash any ftf for your device with flashtool

Force shutdown (Power + VolUP for 10 seconds until vibrating for 3 times) then use fastboot or flashtool to flash its kernel or all.

Keep holding. Eventually it'll vibrate 3 times and be properly shut off, ready for flashing

Green led means chared too.
How do you tell it is in flash mode? What is flashtool reporting?
Flash mode IS what you need to flash new firmware.

Open flashtool, connect the usb while pressing volume down, does flashtool reports device conndcted in flash mode?
If it does, disconnect the phome and click the flash icon, select flashmode, slect FW file to flash (exclude TA if present), wait untill flashtool ask you to connect the phoen, press volume down and connect the phone, wait to untill flash is finished.

Cab you please save log in flashtool after you try to connect in flash mode, and post it's content?
I had a Locked Bootloader and I was looking for a new Rom and the post didn't have any info about which version it was for so I tried it.
Installed no problem (I asume), then when I try to boot it up nothing will happen, if I boot without USB it will shake 1 second, red light and nothing on screen.
The cellphone won't react if I have USB connected to it :c.
What should I do?.
Try to flash stock firmware

using flashtool?
Doesn't it need to detect the phone to do that? Since I can't turn the Cellphone on , it shouldn't be able to detect it :c

Whit vol+?
Sent from my Xperia U using xda app-developers app
When the phone is off and you hold down vol- while you connect the USB cable the phone enters flash mode and the small upper led is red while the bottom big led bar goes green. At least for me with a XT25i locked bootloader Xperia U.
So I would say, yes your phone is able to connect in flash mode. Just flash a stock ROM and you should be fine.
Thanks for the fast answer I will try it now.

If you have locked bootloader you can never hard brick your phone... just try fashtool I am sure it will work...
