Hi everyone, I need help because I have probably bricked my Xperia Sola. Yesterday I tried to flash ClockWorkMod recovery ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766892 ). I flashed kernel.elf via fastboot and after flashing I unplugged the phone and I pressed the power button, the phone vibrated and the Sony logo appeared then the phone vibrated again and the blue led turned on and.. nothing else! It doesn't boot and i don't know what to do I noticed that if i press volume up while the blue led is on, the phone goes into recovery mode but I don't know what to do! Can someone help me?
p.s. Sorry for my bad english!

Well, if you clicked the volume up while he was with that blue LED, and opened his recovery, he may still go start the kernel... remove and replace the battery and turn on the phone, maybe it solves.

I can't remove it! The phone has a non-removable battery!
OK, do the following, click the power button and hold it more or less by 10secs and release when you feel three vibrations . It will reboot your phone .
I followed your instruction but the phone didn't vibrate 3 times.. I'm desperate, do you think that if I bring my phone in a Sony support center they will fix it?
He turn on a Red led when you pressing the power + up vol? have to be pressed in the same time.. you can fix it easily here. you dont need to go to a sony support center now. If reset dont work , you can use flashtool to make it stock again.

If you want , flash this rom , its have root and CMW -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897908 you can use adb to flash , or with flashtool , what is much more easy to use.

Out of curiosity, were you on GingerBread or ICS when you flashed this ? And is your bootloader unlocked ?
Flash a Stock as mentioned before and you should be fine.You can go Either Stock ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914264
or GB (as in the previous post).
And the Force reboot is Hold Vol Up + Power for around 15 sec. You will initially have one vibration, then three. After which it turns off.
What were you on? ICS or GB?
It's just an incorrect kernel flash. Phone can still be fixed.
I've first hand experience with this >_>
Don't send to Sony. They're useless.
Hold power + vol up for 10 secs. The phone will vibrate once, keep the buttons pressed until the vibration is felt 3 times.
Let go of Power, keep the vol up pressed. Then quickly shove the USB port in.
Flash these kernels via fastboot, depending on which version you were on.
GB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897908
ICS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922029
EDIT:
Or you can save all the trouble with the following:
Download Flashboot. After the 3 vibes, quickly hold vol down and shove the USB port in. Flash the stock ICS rom (includes kernel) which will fix your problems as well.

Out of idea's
Hello,
(Posted this earlier, but just saw it was in the category of General S5830.. appologies for that)
Unfortunately I've got the same problem. I can't get my S5830i in download mode.
I know that it's Volume up+down and power button. Screen light up and off... Then up again .....and that's it. Black screen with the backlight turned on.
What happened?
I tried installing custom rom (RazoDroid) and during install it froze.... Bricked my phone. Was able to go into download mode and used Odin v1.84 to unbrick. After that I installed RazoDroid and tried to patch some system files to get arabic language working (patch found on this forum)... Didn't work...so installed Retribution, but patch also didn't work on that one.
Decided to install middle eastern rom on the phone (as it's for a friend who's english is bad but arabic is perfect)...tried going to download mode...and nothing..
Solutions
1) Tried depleting phone completely and holding buttons then installing the battery... No success
2) Tried removing battery and inserting USB.. then volume up+down then inserting battery... No success
3) Tried removing battery and inserting USB...then volume up+down+power then inserting battery.... No succes
4) Tried number 2+3 with non-standard USB...no success
5) Tried OneClick soft unbrick..... no success
6) Installing different custom roms.... but understand that this doesn't change boot
7) Internet/forums are out of solutions..... Posting this post ....success?

I had the same problem as you, I tried for hours to get the dam phone into download mode without success.
When I try to put the phone into download mode I just get a constant black (but 'on') screen. I found that even though this is the case the phone is still recognised in odin, as is the yellow bar would appear in odin. I was able to unbrick my phone by reloading a stock rom and then re-put retribution back on the phone but even now if I try to put the phone in download mode I still get the black screen.
Ive learned to live with it.

Lee,
Question... I thought I needed the phone in download mode in order to reload/reflash a stock rom. Could you tell me how to do this....
I tried Odin before and it was just waiting to connect to the phone...
What I want to do is get a middle eastern stock rom installed and give it to my friend. I'm not interested to have download mode working.
Many thanks for the support!

GUYS after some trial and error I got it back to work...
apperantly there are 2 download modes..
1. emergency download : volume up + volume down + power
2. "standard" download mode: volume down + power
the emergency download mode pops up (white letters on screen) when booting the Phone with: volume up + down + power.
if you use volume down + power you get the download mode with yellow letters !!!
if you get the yellow download letters:
1. go to odin (i take it that you have the right version and the rom) install the rom. Check odin to see if it has installed everything = pass
2. The Phone reboots -> diconnect the usb cable to finish the install (odin is waiting for reboot but ignore that).
3. Reboot the system in to recovery mode: POWER + HOME button
4. from the Recovery Menu, select “Wipe data/factory reset” then select “Wipe Cache Partition” and then select “reboot system now” to reboot your system.
5. wait for about 5 minutes and the Phone starts os. Connect to your google account and you are finished!
I had a completely bricked Phone but now I got an official factory version running on it again!
I hope this is off some help for others with the same problem!

I unlocked the bootloader and installed the advanced stock kernel from this forum.
When the fastboot flashing was finished, I unplugged the phone and now it won't turn on. I've tried charging it, but the red light disappears after some time and neither the hard reset nor the regular way wake the phone. I've tried fastbooting the phone again, it appeared on my computer for a few seconds and then was gone again. It's not recognized at all.
What is going on? Is the phone completely dead?
Good morning/afternoon to all.
I am facing a similar issue here ;-((
I was flashing DoomLord's DoomKernel on my brand new Xperia Sole, all went well&I stupidly disconnected my device from usb without giving the "fastboot reboot" comand... After that, it vibrated once&that was it..
Now, the phone seems completely dead..
- It doesn't switch on at all
- It's not recognized when i plug it in my pc (either by the pc itself, or flashtools)
- I can't enter any mode (fastboot, flashmode, u name it)
- No leds will light up no matter what
Any ideas? Did i brick it for good??
;-(((

Ehm, mate, I think the rest of xda should be making fun of us by now, IF u made the same thing that i did - that is flashing a kernel which is NOT for sole.. (I'm blushing here..)
I got carried away with all the new stuff, as i owned a ZTE previously, that i didn't notice that i was flashing a kernel ment for Xperia S..
Anyhow, try the following, as it worked for me:
Press&hold "volume up" key
Press and hold "power" key
After abt 10secs it'll vibrate once, keep holdin'em pressed for 15secs, untill yr phone vibrates 3 times
If successful, u've just hard powered off yr device
After that u should be able to enter fastboot mode&once u do that u can flash the right kernel this time, proper for sole..
(ie: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688169)
Hope it works
Tnx
Yes it's surprisingly easy to mistake Xperia S for Xperia Sola. Especially since we are in denial that there isn't ICS for Sola yet.
What I did was hard reset (The 3 reset route), then hold volume up key + Power and shove it into the USB port. After another vibration, release the power, but keep your button on the volume up.
You should be in fastboot, so flash another system image and it should work.
Quite true Snowstormzz..
aperioculos, did u have any luck with yr phone? Is everything working properly now, or what?
Tnx.
If your phone doesnt turn on at all doesnt charge pc dont recognize it then you have damaged its semcboot or trim area so you will need setool to unbrick that. Alejandressimo can help you in this problem

Hi guys, yesterday I unlocked and rooted my Xperia U, as I didnt have time anymore, I decided to install the kernel today, so when I installed it, I tried turning on my phone - nothing. I just got that red light thingy sometimes that is active 2-3 seconds, I tried charging but still nothing, funny thing is, when I connect it to my 2nd PC with XP on it, it connects, but in My Computer I only see "Digital Camera" and cant open it, also Windows Explorer popup for it keeps constantly, well, popping up but its empty and I cant select anything. I'm now downloading flashtool, is there anything I can do else? Im desperate, I got this phone for only 3 days.
Okay, now I'm in flashtool, I'm about to start flashing but I cant get into fastboot mode... What should I do?
Bump? :crying:
Please dont make me spam, I searched everything, I'm pretty sure my problem is unique, I cant access fastboot. Nothing
try this:
1. charge your phone for about 1 hour
2. open flashtool then click fastmode and choose your firmware.
3. make sure your phone is off ( i dont know if this is the same with xperia U volume up+power button wait til vibrates three times)
4. when it says connect your phone into fastmode, connect your phone via usb, then hold volume up + power button and wait till it vibrates three times, then hold power button+ volume down.
5. it will flash your firmware.
or you can flash the stock kernel (just extract from ftf, same instructions above).
I charged it for the whole night, the problem is, I cant access fastboot. All the drivers are installed but nothing.
I'm sending my phone for repair probably, with rooting I broke my warrant, what's going to happen?

Not vibrating, also, no led.
The only sign I get is when I take out the battery and put it back in, it vibrates for a second. Thats it.
Try to remove the battery and than try all keys combination,and also try to get to connect it to your flashtool.Try hard reset combination.Remove the battery,put the battery,hold power+vol. up button for. 20 sec. If that doesn't make.Try the same only with vol. down button .If that doesn't work,take it to the service shop than....
Hit Thaks if I helped
Hold vol up when replacing the battery, then quickly shove the USB cable in. Phone should vibrate when you put the battery in and you have a second or two to get it into fastboot or flashboot.
Probably a bad install of a kernel, make sure you're using the right one for your phone.
Not sure if it works for the U, but that's how I fixed my Sola.

Hey guys!
I'm not allowed to post this into the development section for the xperia p, so I have to do it here.
I've decided to root my xperia p. So, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my device following these instructions using flashtool method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900172. Right after that, I flashed over this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894463.
I was pretty happy with this setup until I realised, that this kernel still has some bugs that need fixing and is not ready for stable everyday-use. (In my opinion..)
What I did next was flashing back to the stock kernel, which can be found in the same thread in the first post (for people who want stock kernel with custom CWM) and now my p is in a constant bootloop, turning on and off, without showing any logo and not giving me any access to recovery. I can't even initiate fastboot.. WHAT DO I DO NOW? I really need your help with this..
AND by the way, I have a lot of experience in the matter of flashing and android development, but this is the first time I really don't know what to do to fix this issue!

dont panic if you have boot loop all you need to do is hard reset the phone this is dont by holding power button and vol+ till it vibrates 3 times this will switch the phone off and allow you fastboot to flash cwm recovery again and then you can recover your backup
Xperia P.... has a removable battery right, if I recall.
Remove battery, hold vol up, place battery. Phone should vibrate 3 times.
Keep finger on vol up, shove USB port in. You should get into fastboot.
If you're aiming to go back to stock, then just go into flashboot (vol down), and flash a stock ftf file.

Any ideas of what should i do now?
All help will be appreciated im new to this.
Install Flashtool, then go the drivers folder in Flashtool, and install your drivers (Including the Fastboot & Flashmode drivers)
Then, turn off your phone. Select the Stock FTF from Flashtool and click Flash
Then, when it asks you connect the phone, Holding Down the Volume Down Key, connect the usb cable to phone (It should already have been connected to pc before connecting to phone)
Wait 2 seconds and a green light comes on.. Then wait a few minutes and your phone will be back to normal

I have done all that and did it again just to be sure.. atfer green light comes on it changes to red in few sec and my phone shows SONY for 1/4 min and then shuts off while charging. i have tried to enter fastboot mode too but the same thing happens.. correct led colour few secs and then logo and off.
This seems like a hardbrick although flashing a custom kernel shouldnt have caused that issue.. Did you do the cable connecting in the exact order I said ? You might have missed that ,with any luck
Dun worry
Remove the battery if possible
If not
Switch of the phone by pressing volume us plus power key simultaneously for few seconds
Then flash official ftf via flashtool

Its because u r not connecting it properly
While connecting keep only the volume down button pressed ( dun press the power key along to enter flashmode)
And its not a hard brick so dun worry
Just a bad kernel

This is weird and awkward.. when i started my computer today, read this and redid all the steps i got it to flash and it WORKS!
This incident has made me even more interested.
Thanks to BOTH of you for taking the time to answer, i know it was a stupid question to begin with.
