Hi,
I have been using xperia neo L for quite some time now. I have not faced any problems with it till last week.
My phone got switched off suddenly and it went on restarting continuously.
It switches on shows sony logo and then logo of xperia and it again restarts.
I then reinstalled my phone using the update service.
My phone worked fine again for 2-3 days.
After that again the same thing happened,suddenly got switched off and it gets restarted.
This time logo of sony appears, after that immediately it gets restarted.
So again I did the same thing, i.e reinstalling,worked well again for 2-3 days, after that same problem happened.
This time I cannot hear the vibration while switching on and no logo appears.In fact its not switching on at all.
Red light that blinks while connecting the charger is also not shown
I cant even try for a reinstall this time since while connecting the USB and holding the back key no response is being shown.
Can somebody please help me out??
Since i dont have warranty for the phone, can somebody let me know what the real problem is and how can I fix it??

If your LED doesn't blinks while connecting phone to computer, then there is a chance that battery might have drained out... Blindly charge for an hour.. Press and hold the 'back' button on your phone... Then try flashing the phone... All will be good if LEDs work fine... Else it'a hard brick... If flashing is not working out for you, then you need to go to customer care... Suppose if the phone works now and if you are not rooted and your bootloader is unlocked, then I recommend you to root... Sony Official ICS is not that smooth on Neo L... So root, unlock bootloader because anyway you are out of your warranty... Then install custom kernel ROM.. There are so many custom ROMs for Neo L... Good luck...

Hey everyone. This is a quote from androidforums.com it is not my own writing, but this is my exact problem.
"Hey everybody, i recently bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia x10i and thought i should root my phone, using the following tutorial:
Newbies Guide to Rooting X10 and giving you the newest firmware! - xda-developers
So, i was following the steps and after i completed step 5, my phone refused to turn on. At first, the phone would initially vibrate like normal and the LED light would turn green, but then immediately turn off. 5 seconds later, the phone would start constantly vibrating with a black screen and the phone would become unresponsive. To turn it off i had to remove the battery.
I then downloaded the Sony Ericsson PC companion and tried to repair my phone. However, it did no good. Now my phone does the initial vibration, except this time the black screen would lighten up slightly and just stay like that.
I then attempted to charge my phone overnight and when i woke up it just flashes 3 red lights where the LED light is.
could somebody please help me? i only bought my phone 3 days ago and would be a COMPLETE waste of $600 if i was unable to get a replacement phone due to the void of warranty due to rooting.
Is there any way of fixing the phone? If not, is there any way of removing any trace of me rooting or attempting to root the phone (without turning the phone on since i can't) in order to use my warranty?"
My phone has now gone so flat (and doesn't seem to charge) that i can't enter flash mode.. although it was working last night before i went to bed and i did manage to update it using SEUS. But it wont boot up properly. Any ideas? I have noticed that there are a few other people that are having the same problem.. but no one seems to have a solution.
I have also noticed that it runs in a loop. When i plug it in the red light flashes for a while, then attempts to turn on.. and does the black screen for a while. Then it runs out of battery and goes back to the red flashing light. then it repeats.
Hope you can help. Thanks.
Have you tried flashing new firmware with flashtool?
As i tried to explain above.. my phone wont enter flash mode as it is too flat. And it wont charge. when i take it off the charger and try and turn it on. it flashes red three times then a break then three times again and so on.
Any ideas on whats going on?
would it be possible to still claim in on warranty as it wont start properly and wont connect to the computer.
Hey guys, i bought an x10 yesterday, the seller told me straight up that it wont boot, red led flashes 3 times thats it. (he tried to restore his unit with seus after it randomly crashed). When i met him, i swapped his battery for mine and no more red led but still wont boot. I was able to get it in flash mode so i figured, restore with seus and all would be ok. When i got home, tried restoring with seus and when i got close to the end, it failed. Keeps telling me my battery is dead but when i pop it in my other x10, its at around 80%. So, started flashtool and tried it that way but fails towards the end of the process. Even the new flashtool 3.0 didnt work. Gave up for a bit but then retried. seus failed twice but on 3rd try, it worked. Now, the phone will vibe when i hit the power button, green led flashes and screen kinda turns on but no SE logo, then powers off and restarts the boot (still no SE logo). I put in a full battery and left it that way all night. this morning, red led blinking 3 times again. I changed the battery and it still tries to boot but ends up in a loop. Ive been searching all kinds and no fix is available from what i understand. im really confused atm. hardware issue?
Could be motherboard..
This may not apply to the X10 but my sister's X10 Mini Pro went through a fairly similar issue. The phone was stuck in a bootloop with the SE logo, bootanimation, repeat. No matter what we tried, we could not get it to boot properly. She hadn't made a backup and banned me from doing a repair flash of the firmware so I was trying a load of other options (all the while telling her that the only way out was a flash).
I have an EP900 battery charger so randomly decided to charge up her battery to 100% and give it a try. Boom, booted up perfectly. Used the battery down to 20% and tried to reboot, bootloop again. For some reason the phone doesn't boot without a fully charged battery (didn't try charging it with the phone, only the external charger).
Dunno if this will apply to you, but it may be worth a shot. Otherwise, I'm inclined to think you have a mobo problem. Maybe the seller tried unlocking the bootloader and bricked it?

Thats what i thought at first, who knows.... Bout the battery, i tried a fully charged one too but no go. Also,tried to repair my phone with pc companion but still wont boot up... out of options, im 99% sure its the mobo as well...
Not sure, what the issue is, but you can try the following:
1. Try charging the battery for quite a while, and forget about the phone for 2 hours, for me a few months back. I slept while xrec was on, and in the morning it was showing me the red light......I charged it for two hours which brought my phone back to life.
2. You can use SEUS to update your phone, which will wipe the entire thing and get you a fresh new GB stock. Then you can play with it.

1. Battery isnt the problem, as i have 2 to play with
2. Tried that, but either it fails, or if it does go thru, it still wont boot.
It wont even show the "Sony Ericsson" when its powered up. Can it be possible, the guy played around and messed up the files required for this unit to boot? Is that even possible?

Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Well, just a couple minutes ago, my x10 mini died. I was using it normally, without overheating, not overclocked..., just undervolted! I've got for 14 months, and since last 12 i've got the bootloader unlocked and nAa kernel with MiniCM 2.X... A couple of weeks ago I installed ArcMini rom without problems! Yesterday night I tried to turn off WiFi from the statusbar button, but the light under the icon kept half turned on (sorry for my english :S)... I didn't though it was a problem, but a couple of minutes ago, i tried to turn on an it didn't respond!! so I restarted the phone with the power + home button, like some other times, but now it didn't turned on!!
Now, the led doesn't light up, doesn't vibrate, when I plug into a computer or AC, it does the same: nothing!! What happened?? what can I do?? Warranty is avoided since i unlocked the bootloader, isn't it?? :S
Thanks!!
look the same happend to me but with no custom firware i sent it on the sony ericsson repair store and they told me that the cpu was burned.They repaired my phone because it had warranty.I think yo should try to repair it with flashtool

I think, if his cpu is bust, repairing with flashtool is not an option, i think getting a new phone might be in order
y should try to make sure that the x10mini is dead before pull out the x10mini cover and with a pinch pull out a rubber cover next to the camera you should try to disconnect that connection an then reconnect it
try to take out the battery, and wait for a while, insert it again. try to turn it on.
if it doesnt work. try to wait longer, not more than 10 min.
if it doesnt work at all, I would like to try to flash it again with the flash tool.
That would be the very basic part of the phone. if the mode can not be actived (pressing the back on phone and plug to usb) by using flash tool. then you possibly facing a hardware problem.

Hey guys,
Went to use my phone yesterday, never flashed or anything like that, and it just wouldn't respond. When I plug it in the sony logo flickers every 7 seconds and it won't respond to any button combination for rebooting. When it's not plugged in I can't get any sort of response.
Please tell me someone has encountered this before.
Same problem
Hi I have the same problem. Only is that the screen flickers every 0.5 seconds with SE logo.
I downloaded the repair tool but not abLe to process the repair on my phone. Nothing works. Opened the phone, removed the battery plug, tried to power on the phone without the battery plugged-in, nothing. Please help.
Sony repair wont help me. Apparently there is calcium on the magnetic ports or liquid damage in the phone; no liquid damage at all, phone was never put in water and nor any of the white stickers turned red.

Maybe due to corrupt software. Try flashing a new firmware using flashtool.
Hey guys, got some update from a repair center I usually deal with. It seems that the motherboard is dead. According to them, it seems that the battery might have been overheating and might have affect the motherboard. I'm going to try to call the sony mobile tech support and see if a repair mailer could be sent to me and going to keep you posted.
Cheers,

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
