I was running passion v9.2 and went to go back to stock. Some thing went wrong and now the phone wont boot at all. Only thing i can get it to do is come to this screen with red text after holding volume up and power key for 30 sec. With the red text showing odin recognizes my phone with a com7 but when i try to flash it gets stuck at setup connection. Is there any thing i can do to bring this phone back to life. thanks

Switch off ur phone and remove the battery and sim card. Leave your phone for 30 mns. And try to get download mode by pressing vol up/down keys and connect your usb cable. If u faild you can use jig method.

is it dead? i wasnt flashing it or anything, it was working last night, and i tried to turn the screen on today as my blue light was flashing this morning (i probably had a message) and it wouldnt turn on, so i pulled battery and this didnt work either, the phone was not on charge either,
now no matter what i try it justs dark screen,
Could be hardware issues. Send to service centre.

Try going to download mode and flash another firmware. You may also try to force it to go to download mode (if ever you cant go to dl mode manually with the button combo)
If all else fails, send it to service center

I was using my tablet while finishing charging. I was about 95%. Suddenly it just went black and won't turn back on. Any ideas? I've tried holding the power button with no results. Is there a special reset or something?
Anyone else have this issue or things I can try to fix it?

Have you tried PC Companion? Download it for Windows then try to locate for emergency repair. It will show you instructions of how to put your tablet in flash mode.

I haven't tried that specifically, but would it not fail if the light didn't even go on when plugged in, and my pc doesn't even read it as connected?

Not really, for example in some samsung devices even if the device wont turn on the a JIG plug was able to put the phone on download mode, something very similar to flash mode on the xperia mobiles.
So i guess the last thing you can try is to put the tablet in flash mode, you can download a FTF file with the firmware compatible with your device, and download flashtool from: Click here to download and then put your tablet on flash mode. I guess you will need first the drivers Click here to see drivers and after you install the drivers, just open flash tool press the vol down key and connect the usb cable to the tablet, and if you see that flashtool or maybe windows recognizes your tablet you may have luck to restore it.
So if you get it into flash mode, then just flash the FTF and let's see what happens.
Let me know.
I will give it a test this evening or tomorrow - thanks! I will post back if it works.
PC Companion doesn't detect the tablet, nor does my PC at all in device manager. It doesn't respond like anything is plugged in, but it did before.
Flashtool comes up with nothing either - once again doesn't even acknowledge anything is plugged in.
Thanks for the suggestions, though.

I read your issue. Read my first post again - yours is simply a crash. Mine does not charge, has no power LED, and is completely unresponsive. No recovery button combination or anything works - yours turns on and responds to things.
so when you try vol up and power button do you not see the white led flash once then a couple seconds later three times? if it does it means your tablet can still be put into flash mode with some perseverance.
Edit: you could try sony mobiles flash tool called Emma which has its own way of entering flash mode (think you hold vol down and plug the usb cable in the computer) and see if that program can detect your tablet but you can use the instructions provided on their website if your unsure what to do.
same sitation
I have the same problem with my tablet. I watched stock photos in album and then display switched off. And that's the end.
Nothing happens when I try to power on, reboot or restore with Companion. Computer doesn' detect device. The same situation with Emma and flashtool.
I used my new-bought tablet only for 15 minutes)))
Mine ended up needing replacing due to a fried mainboard. Did you leave yours plugged in overnight?
Ok something strange happen to the tab I never had problem before I left the headphone plugged in a press the power button to close the screen (I always do that) when I try to use the tab there was nothing on screen double tab the screen nothing, hold the power button nothing put the tab in the cradle nothing the led was not turning on but the usb cable direct to the pc and than the charger nothing. I press the volume up and power button the tab led blink and was able to restart the tab. ??????????
Same thing just happened to me. Power button would not turn on the Z. LED would not turn on when charged. Did a hard reset and it came back on. Model: SGP312.

Pc companion will not work in thta situation cause it needs the device to be powered on...
In that case have you try the SUS http:/sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
Just follow the instructions and you will be fine
It will erase the entire internal memory though, sd is fine..

While your phone is plugged to the wall (can be to your pc too) press power button and volume up until your phone vibrate 3 times. Then start your phone normally. It can come because you are using "adapt to lightening condition" and Un-tick Optimize Backlight.
If it is not working download Sony Ericsson Update Service and follow instructions.

Done and done, sir. But still, nothing happen when i try to start it..
Hi! Suddenly the screen on my new A52s is totally dead.
So it's gonna need repair or replace under warranty.
Before I send it in I need to wipe it using the Android find device service.
Problem is it cannot find the A52s. And I don't know if it's turned on or off since the screen is broken.
How do I turn it on and know it's on?
Will the find service find it even if it's turned on but not logged in, which probably will be the case if I manage to boot it.
The device is all stock.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Does it vibrate as you pressing the power button?

Yes. And I can see a weak flickering on screen but not so I can see icons / text.
I have also tried connecting it via USB to my pc and both phone and pc makes a plong noise.
But the phone is not shown in Windows explorer.
