[Q] Xperia U problem - hardbick? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

hi all.
after flashing the F/W from a differnet xperia (P i think) to my XU :silly:
after a few mins shouting at myself, i let flashtool complete, then reflashed an official XU ftf.
After my fudge up the phone LCD, backlight, illumination bar dont work at all.
All i get is a red LED for 5Min when plugged into the mains
i get a red LED for 5-10Min when plugged into Laptop, no popup on laptop (connected device)
It seems as tho it doesnt want to charge but i luckily have another battery from a different model
BUT the strange thing is, if i tape a coin to the side of the phone either Vol+ or Vol- i get no green LED or blue LED just Red.
After 5-10min of my XU being plugged in fastboot or flashmode spring into life and i can flash an aray of things with SEUS or Flashtool, and can even lock and unlock my B/L. BUT After all of that nonsence the phone is still unusable.
Is there anyway out of this without sending device to sony??
Please Help XDA

here is the fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230098
donot forget to press thanx

Ok thanks for the info.
Now the phone is acting in another strange way. I've flashed the correct F/W then the wrong F/W in question then re flashed the correct F/W.
the red LED has gone out, still no LCD display and no illumination bar but im surprised to see it popup on my laptop in MTP Mode without USB debugging. Ive had xperia u, xperia P and XPlay for some time and have never experienced this.

yes the tochscreen, the actual LCD screen and ilkumimation bar are still not working

Dunno if it's working but you could try to flash GB to unbrick it..

Yah i forget this boint
You should flash gb not any fw but wrong fw(no problem if it's gb or ics)

Slowly getting there.
cheers guys i flashed to gb then ics. i still have same symptoms , only plus side is that instead of taking 5-10 min to register on either fastboot or flashmode (Still Red LED on both) it only takes a few seconds. Im thinking that having flashed the wrong F/W it may have "blew" the screen, digitizer and illumination bar

Take out battery. Charge with auto charger..put it on...it will vibrate.now flash

Just wondering are u new to flashing custom roms on x10?
i.e. do u understand what flash mode is?
Sorry to sound patronising.
Also have u actually tried using flashtool? Or better Sony Ericsson update service?

Does the screen light up at all when you put in a battery? If it lights up slightly but still is "black screen" then try this to get into flash mode: remove battery, insert usb, hold back button and keep holding while you replace the battery.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
are you sure the batteries have a decent charge?
Im not new, and yes I know what flash mode is, no its all black screen, the batteries are either low or dead, either way the phone won't offline charge

try leaving it plugged in for a little bit with the battery in anyway, an hour or so. If you're on a custom rom it might still charge enough to get it into flash mode
ive been trying, its like it doesnt have a pluse, no response to anything at all!! I'm dieing right now because I need to flash a rogers ROM on it and its kapput, it's so weird. Why me..

seriously plug it in with the battery in and leave it alone for a while...
I know it's tempting to keep trying, but you'll just drive yourself batty. Best to leave it alone take a breather for an hour, go have a beer and hopefully by the time you get back it will be responsive

its probably your motherboard that has burned up so if you can't get three phone in flash mode you are kind of screwed right know and the only option you have is to send it for repair and hope for the best.

not really, if both batteries are dead it could easily be just that....
find an external charger or a friend with an extra x10 and try charging the batteries before trying!

all I'm saying is give it a shot before you send it away, worth trying to charge the batteries before going through all that trouble
try going in store to see if they might have an extra battery you can try, etc...
its been 5 hours
I think its motherboard, im sending it in with gingerbread... I hope its so messed they cant see gingerbread, I have less the minimum wadge so I'm ****ed if they findout... good bye mini laptop, ill miss you

I hear you can take the back cover off pull the battery and plug in the charger and you might get a light on the phone after a minute or two then with it still plugged in push the battery back and let sit over night.
You can also try this after 5 minutes with no light and leave overnight as I read a few places it allows the battery to charge
yes, if you take out the battery, then plug the phone into a *WALL* charger *NOT COMPUTER USB PORT* the green led should light up. when its green, try inserting the battery, then leave it alone for a while and see if it starts to charge.
good luck

I had exactly the same situation, zero battery and also feared that I lose my X10. What do I did?
1) Downloaded X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf (and put it in the proper FlashTool folder).
2) Removed the battery for 1 minute, put the battery in the mobile again but don't powered the mobile on and also don't used the USB cable.
3) Started Flashtool and choosed to flash the file, and only connected the USB cable while pressing the "Back" button. When it ended flash, disconected the cable and... voila! It was working OK again. After that I installed my fave-super-complete WB ROM again.
So, why I'm being sooo detailed if you aren't n00b? Because when stressed, we sometimes forget something.
Hope the Stock 2.1 ROM in FlashTool helps you like it helped me.

Another problem with battery of xperia sk17i

Sorry for open a new thread in forum, but i didn't find no topic which talk about that problem of mine.
Some days ago i installed applications from play store on my device. The battery was 30% while i downloaded app and install them. Sooo, i downloaded and installed some apps, until battery was 1%, and i powered off the device, and i was want to put it to charge...i charged that until had 100% power, (i was put that to charge to 23 a clock - pm, and i was pull out to 6 a clock - am). And i tryed to power on, and the green led blink very short, after that vibrate but, don't show to me nothing on display. I know is anormal to blink that led green, and also i knew he must show sony or sony ericsson (the brand) after vibrate...but only vibrate, and that's all..............I dont have any idea, where to be the problem...Pls help me, and also, sorry for my english. Thanks a lot!

and i forgot to say that, i tryed to install a news firmware, and to i leaved battery out from phone 2 days...but no change...is same - black
So, when you try to turn on your device, green LED blinks, phone vibrates and that's it?
What happens if you plug in the charger? Does reinstalling the firmware(Flashtool or Update Service) fix the issue?
What ROM/Kernel did you have? If stock, rooted or not? Any modifications?
Also, wrong section to post it.

Rom is the last one from SEUS, i dont know to say the model, but anyway, i tryed not only that, also all i founded compatible for my model. Without root. I know normally is to dont blink any short led when is power on...

looks like hardware problem. check the battery by putting it into someone else mobile.
What firmware did you have last, when phone was still working?
Was your bootloader unlocked or not?
My next idea is warranty service.

Try remove your battery and connect your phone to charger. Start charging it. Then, put the battery back and charge them for few ten minutes. Then try power on ur phone again. This case quite similar to "Red Light of death" case. Hope helps.

If charging didnt helped then you have a hard brick( red light blinking and not detected by pc anymore) then repair its trim area and semcboot contact alejandrissimo for that he'll do it for free. Btw it requires setool( which requires setoolbox to run on pc) to unbrick it .

did you find the solution???? if YES. please tell me!!!!!!!!!!
if NO. Good Luck then
I had that happened yesterday. What i do is:
1) get stock gb rom ftf for flashtool
2) relocked bootloader if unlocked
3) charge the phone for one-2 hours
4) wait until able to use flashmode..flashing
5) turn it on for first boot and charge it.
It happens due unstable Kernel/ROM corrupted or Battery absolute 0% which unable to boot it up. Hope my case helps.

If it blinks red led 3 times that means the battery is 0%. Try charging it with a wall charger and then try. If it still doesn't work then I think the battery is fully discharged. In this case you need a new battery.

Hello, try flash Kernel+Baseband. You probably lost that Kernel, if blackscreen all way long.

From all the phones I've used this usually happens when the battery is completely busted.
See if you can get your hands on another battery and try?
Good luck!!!
This happened twice for me.
Try leaving your phone in wall charger (not in PCs USB) for at least two hours and try again,
Hope that it will help.
Flash the Kernel and the Baseband

[Q] Any JTAG solution for Xperia sola?

I have a hard bricked Sony Xperia sola.
Happened during flashing a custom ROM with CWM recovery.
I have seen people saying all over the internet that Sony Xperia phones cannot be hard bricked but I am sure mine is.
It only shows red LED for a couple of seconds when connected to external charger or USB port.
No entry into fastboot or flash mode.
After searching all over the internet, I have found a surprising thing:
There are no JTAG solutions for any Sony Xperia 2011 and onward phone.
The only reason I found is again that Sony Xperia 2011 onward phones are almost impossible to hard brick.
But in my case it only took a simple recovery to hard brick a Sony Xperia 2012 phone (sola).
I have followed every single tutorial/trick available on the internet to revive it, so don't tell me it's not hard bricked.
So, is there any JTAG solution for Sony Xperia 2011 onward phones (specifically sola)?

I dont think anyone already know how to JTAG Xsola but it indeed had JTaG pin.. BTW, your problem is really same like i had experienced before with my sola.. It happen after i left it charging over laptop overnight.. Exactly same thing,when connect to wall charger, red led blink couple sec then no more.. Thought already bricked my phone as i cant enter fastboot or flashmode.. Then i take samsung wall charger and plug it,ignore the red led and left it about an hour.. Voila! My phone can turn on but stuck at boot animation.. Simply flash stock ftf and its done.. Hope this will help u..

I have used this trick once, when my mobile was not bricked. The battery completely drained one day and the Sony charger (direct or USB) was not charging it, red LED for few seconds and then nothing. But when I plugged in a Samsung charger, the red LED turned on and the mobile started charging.
But when I tried this trick now, even with Samsung charger the red LED turns off after a few seconds indicating no charging. Are you suggesting to leave it on Samsung charger even though the red LED turns off? If that is so, then even the Sony charger should work, but it does not. I have left the mobile on Sony charger for an hour or so with red LED obviously off, but still it remained dead.

I had (officially) unlocked the bootloader sometime ago, to get root via fastbooting a pre-rooted custom kernel. After that I flashed a stock kernel.
Recently, I did this. After this the battery drained and that is it.
well there are many posts of bricked fones around here , best of luck anyways...

I have left the mobile on Sony charger for an hour or so with red LED obviously off, but still it remained dead.
I had (officially) unlocked the bootloader sometime ago, to get root via fastbooting a pre-rooted custom kernel. After that I flashed a stock kernel.
Recently, I did this. After this the battery drained and that is it.

Facing the same problem. Now, when you mentioned that Xperia Sola cannot be hard bricked, are you sure about this? And I did try charging my phone with a different wall charger. It did seem to go on fastboot mode. but for a few minutes and then went back to the same condition of fully dead. So i was kinda thinking that maybe because my battery was really low when this happened and it just needs proper charging, But i cant seem to get it to charge. Ive tried to charge it with 5 different chargers. Did not work. I seriously need help with this.
Btw, before it hard bricked, my bootloader was unlocked. and i tried to flash the cyanogenmod9 rom. ugh i am so regretting this right now. been almost 4 days T_T

Thought already bricked my phone as i cant enter fastboot or flashmode.. Then i take samsung wall charger and plug it,ignore the red led and left it about an hour.. Voila! ..

Please note USB ports do not have enough power to charge sony phones laptops and PC USB only give out .5A Sony chargers are 0.8A and they will not charge properly with anything less it is something to do with a battery protecting cuircit in the phone
