Hi guys,
I'm having a little problem here with my XS.
As you can read in the title, my XS is bricked and bootloop all the time, even when I plug in with wall charger.
I tried some tips like holding power+volume down when I plug in my phone, nothing ^^'
I was using XCreaM 3.2 (which work very well by the way ), my phone was rooted with Locked BL.
After uninstalling an application, I reboot my phone and got this awful bootloop :crying:
- I tried with SEUS, but got an error before installing updates (talking about verifying if my battery is charged)
- I tried to flash stock rom with flashtool (0.8.0.0 / 0.90.0. / 0.9.6.0 and even an older one), and with different firmware (GB, ICS...FR,UK,CH) but nothing.
I always got the same error (if i check "no final verification") :
27/000/2012 18:00:30 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0009";ERR_DYNAMIC="Final data verification failed";�
27/000/2012 18:00:30 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted
If I don't check it, flashtool do all the job but when I try to reboot my phone, I still have bootloop
Now I don't know what to do, except sending back my phone and praying for warranty work lol
Thanks in advance for your help.

You could try to unlock your bootloader, this will factory reset your phone anyway.

Yeah, but if it doesn't work, I'll loose warranty, and could not send it back =/
Before unlocking it, I would like to know if it's gonna work at 100%

Before I had a Xperia Ray and it was so easy to flash a rom when i bricked it.
I thought Flashtool would always work. Am i wrong?

Hi Guys,
I'm guessing that there's nothing that can be done but last hope!
Last night i was trying to update my Gf's Optimus One with little success using KDZ, got to the point where it wouldnt boot, so flashed the original ROM back to it, during the process after a few minutes it gave an error code and the Flash was unsuccessful. Thought' id' reboot the phone into Emergency and try the flash again - it errored pretty much straight away - Pulled battery from phone - reinserted it and now nothing!
The phone will not respond to power on, USB insert, etc Just completely dead..
Im guessing i know the answer already - but is there anything that can bring this back from the dead.... Seriously in the Doghouse!
Cheers
Paul

I was trying to flash the original russian Gingerbread with LGMDP and there was a cable connection problem... I chose to erase all data before flashing (EFS Erase ALL). If only mobile devices had BIOS...
No hope, unfortunately. You have to connect your chipset to a computer and manually write all data... Or send to LG Service Center. Just hope they'll fix it for free... (They can't detect how you wiped device's boot loader if all the flash memory is empty)

Thanks for the links - i was working my way through the second one at 3am this morning.. Yes - i've even tried Shaking it
The P500 community has produced some wonderful guides and looking at it seems like the device is almost impossible to Brick completely, just how this happened i havn't a clue, seems ive managed the almost impossible..
I'd more than likely be able to ressurect it if it responded to anything at all - but no power, and nothing when the USB is inserted, no vibration, no lights, no signs of life...
the phone may be under warranty, but ive got to dig out the reciept - and i cant even begin to think where that is..
Well anyway i've had to buy her a replacement today - ended up with a Samsung Galaxy Mini as they dont stock the Optimus one anymore. Closest thing i could find.
Cheers for the help guys - i guess next effort will be warranty repair.
dude pls try uninstallin all the lg drivers usb etc etc and then try it again...it happend to me but ive still managed to ressurect it so try this and after send it to warranty
Okay, I was told to go here since people on AndroidForums.com had no clue on what to do.
Okay, here are my problems -
I received this Android from my mom and it was running Android 2.1. When I first got it, I turned it on without charging it. It booted up, came to the lockscreen, then about a second later turned off and now refuses to boot. I have tried flashing it with generic Android 2.1 and Stock ATT Android 2.1. But it refuses to do nothing but flashes a green light and vibrates. But that all it does. And PC Companion, SEUS, FlashTool have done nothing! So what do I do now? It accepts Flashes and restores, but it's like the Boot Files are corrupted. And I cannot JTAG, so is there any other options?
Thanks in Advanced,

I had quite the similar issue with my x10i. One day it just decided to stop working completely. No lights no nothing, tried everything, just dead. So I contacted SE and they said they could do nothing if the software had been tampered with, no matter how much I assured them if was a hardware related fault.. So I went to my carrier and they sent me to a phone repairing company (Fonemenders here in Ireland), who try fix the phone themselves by getting parts in from the manufacturers. If they deem your phone irreparable they will get you a new replacement. This is exactly what happened me. So the other day I received an email saying that seeing as my x10 couldn't be fixed, I'd be receiving a Sony Arc as a replacement! So i'm happily waiting for the Arc to get here while I use my moms old x8.
So my best advice if nothing is working, go to your carrier and hopefully they can get you through to a phone repairing place, and I wish you as good luck as my own
Well, I cannot replace the Phone since I am not really using it as a Phone. It will not be activated, it's just to mess around with. And I really don't want to buy a Samsung Galaxy Player just so I don't have to deal with this. So I'm going to try the Stock ROM now and see if it works. Do I have to wait for boot up or something?
Try to flash with SE Companion. It will work.
Well, I restored using SEUS because it's the only one that recognized the phone, other than FlashTool. After it restored, it said Unplug the phone and wait for first time. It will take a while. So I am currently doing that. Hope it turns on!
Well, I've restored it and it still sits here. What's next?
I am going to try to flash it using s1tool and see if that helps. Also, can someone please respond with what they think is wrong?
Okay, here's another question - In order to load the firmware you told me, does my Bootloader have to be UNLOCKED? If so, how do I do that without ROOT... Because I cannot do anything with the Phone.

I have a question for you... is the phone rooted ? If not then try following
1) start your PC companion and select update software
2) if software say, your phone is up to date then use here will be repair option you need to select it.
3) once you select repair it will download stock GB 2.3.3 and after download it will ask you to plug you phone in flash mode
4) remove phones battery and connect the phone to your laptop.
5) now place the battery back while holding down the back button (3rd button from left) { this step is important as this will get your phone into flash mode.
6) above steps should get your phone back onto stock unrooted ROM...
if you want then use flash tool to root it again but be careful with kernels and bootloader

Well, I think I have tried that and it still won't boot. But I will try again. (PS - Sorry for this old thread, but I just needed a break on working on it! I am going to try again and see if it works!)
Hi there. First of all, sorry about my english, but i'm spanish
I was reading a lot, and i cant find a solution to my phone. It sudently becomes a brick just when charging (with anothers phone charger) and the battery was lower than 10%
It doesn't work, and don't response to any of all solutions i've read (Take out SIM, SD card, remove battery and wait... ) no way... Screen never come back to iluminate again. Just, when pushing power buttom, the phone's vibrates.
So tired of the brick, i've arrived at this page. And I read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
And try to become my phone back...
At least, the phone enter in flashmode, and i can flash with flashtools... but the phone never come back... just the brick
I tryed to flash with the Xperia_2011_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file and OK
Afther that, take out the USB and flash again with one ROM i get from here:
Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i)
4.0.2.A.0.42 - http://www.mediafire.com/?hevz3x5w9pqt24q
4.1.B.0.431 - http://www.mediafire.com/?j0bdx06zz5skvzt
But the phone never works. One time afther flashing with 4.0.2.A.0.42 i noticed, that trying to power on the phone, the red led shyne 3 times, and thats supposed to be the battery. But i don't know if the battery now is charged. I've left it hours charging, and hours too to the USB...
Supposedly, i cant flash without battery in the phone, but flashtools finish correctly
So... any idea?
There is something i can do?
Thank all of you who read this!
Its probably battery empty. recharge battery or get a friends and try
Sent from my X8 using Tapatalk 2
First make sure that your battery is really fine. Try another one.
If that fails, see if you can get your device into flash mode?(Switched off+Vol Down + USB cable)
If yes, try flashing a custom ROM. For example, download CyanogenMod from here, use Flashtool (guide) to flash the kernel provided in the downloaded ROM's ZIP file. Then, boot again into Clockword Mod Recovery(Keep pressing Vol DOwn button while boot or google for how to enter recovery for your phone). Copy the downloaded Cyanogenmod ZIP to SD card and install it via ClockwordMod recovery.
See if the above works.

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!

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!

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.

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.
