Seems like a power issue almost.
The kernel screen will show, and then it shuts off. Sometimes it makes it to the bootloader screen if i have the USB cable in, then shuts off.
Guess its like it has been the whole time i had it buggy
Anyone wanna buy a half dead ray?
Have you tried flashing ftf files, another kernel, or something?
Nahh. Tired of messing with it. $100
It probably could be a hardware issue. Any ftf or kernel flashes can't help hardware problems.

Possible fix...
I had the same problem on my Ray, but i don't know what happened to it, all of sudden starts to bootloop... Sony logo, stands for a while and then reboot... tried flashing everything, but no luck... everything i did ened with bootloop... Now i'm a happy ray user again. This is what i did... Turn on the phone and left it boot-looping until it drained the battery, until completely dead (red blinking when try to turn on), then i connected it to a charger and suddenly it started working again!! but when i turned it off, it couldn't boot again... So i did the same thing, left the battery drain, but this time with SIM and microSD inside, and when i connected the charger, but this time it didn't boot... That'
s it, the phone stopped booting again so i left it on the charger bootlooping all night, and in the morning i disconnected it and left the battery drain, AGAIN... the time when i got home from work, the battery was drained, i connected the charger and it started again! I used the phone for a few days without powering off/reboot, and now it's all fine, it boots normally, i use PACMAN rom and it's wonderfull... Hope this helps...
What you did was exercised the battery !!!
This happens due to battery problem !!!
But in his case , he may need to try out a new or working battery !!!

It was unlocked and working perfect until the battery went completely dead and wasnt charged back up for a week. After pluging in the charger I was unable to do a complete charge as the pda keeps starting up. It runs for about a minute or two then restarts and boots back up, the cycle continues with no end. I got to work for about 10 ten minutes, the phone worked, the charger was active in the battery option menu, but then it started all over again. I've reflashed and changed roms. The amber charge light does appear. Also hard reset doesnt work. Please help, bought the phone used but only got to enjoy it for a day.!
It maybe the battery is banjaxed, I have seen similar behaviour with an ipaq and a defunct battery.
if not its board memory
if im right yourin big trouble u have to replace the whole main boards .. i hope im wrong it juist bthe battery.
good luck bro
Hello!
I have this problem with my s2.. I was browsing for my joy when suddenly the screen flashed couple times and my phone suddenly shut down (when battery was about 70%).
I already had this kind of problem but last time it was the battery (it swelled) but i replaced the battery and for a month or so everything was fine.
now with no warning it happened again!
I checked the battery its fine...
now when I boot my phone up it stays up for a minute or so and freeze or shutting down..
and also the signal icon shows that there's no signal!!
when its off and plugged to the charger its all fine looks like charging...
sometimes when it shows the samsung logo on boot I can see the the lights on the back button and menu button flickering and then shutting down.
I didnt download anything new in the past week..
did anyone here had this kind of problem? how can I fix it?
PLEASE help me I was at a job interview and they should call me today !! T_______T

ROM?Kernel?Did you try Factory reset or flashing stock ROM?
Are you using a genuine s2 battery or it's just a generic one?
It's a generic, isn't it?
Sent from the little guy
I did hard reset, now running Samsung's original ROM and stock kernel..
the battery is original..
somehow everything is now fine.. but I don't think that this is a normal problem.. it really freaked me out today.. I wanna know if any one knows what its all about and how to prevent it from happening.. thank you very much
So basically yesterday I forgot my charger at work, and my phone fully discharged... you know, that fully part where if you try to turn on you get the 3 blink red led notification.... So today morning I finally got to put it on charger, but a weird kind of stuff happened.... I plugged it in, it was a red LED blinking (I assume charging, but can't turn on due too low voltage) this went on for a minute, then it turned itself on (I got the Legacy Xperia 4.4 ROM). I could see the battery charging animation for a minute, then it turned itself off again, like it ran out of battery again. then the same thing happened from the beginning over and over again.. I even tried to put it in the CWM so it doesn't boot the charging animation thing, it still turned off after like 30 seconds...
Now I'm stuck with a dead battery phone, and I have no idea what to do.
I would appreciate any kind of help, because I can't really work without my phone now.

EDIT: So now I instantly turned off the screen so it doesn't show the animation and doesn't drain the battery, it seems to charge now, will keep editing if something happens..
EDIT2: Phone LED is now orange... which means above 15%... I think it'll be fine now....

Charge the battery with a battery charger( it costs like $1 in my country ) and then flash a rom for which you are sure that it has offline charging.. and that too working

I will wait hours for charging.
Anyway, do you know other solution? It's very strange it's bricked! I didn't flash anything new and cm11 was working well!

Sorry brimbi i can't help you any further than this, i'm not experienced in this field and only started a couple of days ago, this guide explains about soft & hard resets as well as brick symptoms, i hope it helps... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
If you're using cm11 you should be able to boot into recover right?
This happened to me today. Last night I left my phone charging on my PC through the USB port. PC was off, but USB is still powered. Phone was on.
The next morning, after I woke up I noticed that when I pressed the power button nothing happened. I plugged the cable off my PC, then back on, and the led was staying lit up red. Nothing when I pressed the power button again. No fastboot, nothing.
Finally, I plugged the phone using the original Sony adapter to the mains. It showed the Sony logo and it started charging. At least, so I thought. After a couple of hours, I checked the charging progress and nothing, battery was showing empty. So I tried to power the phone on while still charging. It booted Android and it was showing charging, but 0%. I powered the phone back off, it immediately started charging and battery progress was about 80%.
My guess is that somehow battery stats files were corrupted/deleted. Luckily the phone did not get bricked. I am on Android 4.0 ICS.

It seems XSola has issue with this. My previous phone which is Xsola did suffer from this issue multiple times though. On my ex-XU (too) never had this problem and in my current XP i've had once.

Hello!
My Xperia Z2 have been having a lot of problems in last 2 weeks. And 2 days ago my phone shut down it self and it is dead now.
Frist when my bootloader was locked and on stock rom I experienced battery life decrease and my phone was not able to get me through a full day but it's battery life was close to a day.
Then I decided to unlock my bootloader (I also backedup my TA before unlocking) and install CarbonROM which was fine for like 2-3 days and the battery life was better then the stock rom.
After 2-3 days my phone started to shut it self off at random moments and even say %0 battery when I had like %90 or %80 (just anything above %15)
I clean and dirty flashed the CarbonROM again and it didnt worked out so I thought it might the roms fault and I decided to install RR and it also worked fine for 1 day and then it did the same things which also happened with the CarbonROM
And I said earlier my phone just instanlty shut off at %82 battery life. After it died and I decided to put it on charge becuase I was having battery problems in last 2 weeks as I said and I thought maybe it can it fix the problem but when I pluged my phone to wall two things happened. Frist one is red charge light started blinking and the second one is Sony XPERIA logo kept blinking.
Then I tried my pc which did the same thing but when the red light go off and I pressed volume up button and my phone connected in fastboot mode then I flashed boot.img and recovery.img again and it didnt worked. Then I connected my pc again and I tried flashmode which didnt worked at frist 4-5 tries but after that my phone connected in flashmode I started to download stock kernel (.291) after while flashmode disconnected beucase I wasnt doing anything with it and I tried power button and phone booted up on RR with %82 battery life I was very glad that it worked but after 5 mins it shut it self off again and same thing again.... I managed to connect in flashmode one more time and I flashed stock .291 kernel and it was done I disconnected and powered on my phone and Sony XPERIA logo flashed for one second and the phone turned it self off.
So now I cant charge my phone beucase the red light blinks and xperia logo keeps flashing and I tried everything in Sony forums like the red button power+volume up thing bla bla. And nothing worked I will now try to leave it on charge for 2 hours and update this post but I think that it wont work.
So in conclusion I am %99 sure that battery is dead becuase when the phone boots it doesnt have any other problem expect than this battery and I am going to send it to a repair center or just but the battery it self (which costs less then 10 dollars so it is nothing too expensive) and I am sure that it isn't a software releated problem becuase if it was it would have been solved when I flashed stock kernel and rom. So what you guys think about my problem? Did anybody experienced similar problem to this or is it just me?
Note: When I press the red button while charging when the Xperia Logo keeps flashing my phone vibrates but nothing happens it just keeps blinking the red light and flashing the Xperia Logo.
Note2: My phone is like 3 years old becuase this phone was bought after 2-3 weeks after the release of the Xperia Z2.
Yep the battery is dead just get a new battery and all will be fine
I left device on charge like 2 hours and nothing changed but after I unpluged it I gently hit the device back side with my fingers and when I pressed the power button device bootted up with %86 battery LOL. Anyway I am gonna change the battery because I am now %100 sure that battery is the problem.
So my device is now kinda working, I said kinda because random restarts still happens when the phone restarts battery indicator changes and sometimes suddenly drops. So I need to get a new battery as soon as possible. But I don't know how it got fixed when I hit it's back side softly.
I have changed the battery and everything works fine thanks anyone who participated and paid attention
