RED LED might indicate that your Battery has drowned. Charge it and try again.

It's your battery
Sent from my Xperia U using xda premium

No the red light is normal, always comes up when the charger/usb are first connected when phone is off.
@bibhu059, you change your story, in the other thread you said you have flashed another TA partition, maybe you explain exactly what you did.
And what happen when you try to connect with flash or fastboot modes?
Someone suggested to take the battery out, have you tried that?

As you wrote in your PM to me, you restored a TA backup from someone else's device. This hard-bricked your device, which you could have prevented when you read the FAQ first. Sorry but there is nothing anyone else can do for you at this point. Only option left is to send it to Sony - tell them it suddenly didn't turned on anymore - and hope for the best.
There is no recovery from a hard-brick.

golden rule.. never mess wid TA.. u r not the first...send it to sony service center and act like a noob there..

Yes. But you just say your friend took your phone and you did not know what did he do with it. When he returned your phone, it was like that. My friend actually took a rooted s3 to a samsung service centre and they knew he rooted, said he found custom binaries. When questioned, he asked "whats that?"

Of course they can, makes no difference they can and should fix it anyway,
Losing warrenty does not mean you are not entitled for service, only that you may have to pay for it.

losing warranty entitles u to pay for services my friend.
i guess they have to replace entire motherboard... so they wont be able to tell whether bootloader was unlocked or not... coz under any circumstance...it won't switch on... unless hardware is replaced...

is there any connection between motherboard and bootloader..because if they will replace the motherboard ,can they know whether my bootloader is locked or unlocked???

I don't think they will find out as motherboard includes the cpu, gpu, ram and the circuits lol so yeah.

They will charge for replacing the motherboard. One of my friends with xperia s had recently had a dead phone and the motherboard change costed his new phone 200 bucks($) and I guess now u might want to read before doing such stuff

Voila....Nice work..People just dont learn...First of all,I am sorry if i sound rude
Good work bricking your phone with ROM MANAGER..ROM Manager DOES NOT support ACE...There has been many posts regarding this but PEOPLE dont learn,do they..
Theres no rescue...A brick with rom manager is irrepairable..Some people were lucky though,they could get into download mode,but sadly,you are not...
Take it to your nearest service center
EDIT:I forgot to tell...THIS IS DEVELOPMENT THREAD NOT BRICK THREAD..GENERAL FORUMS IS THE BRICK THREAD
don't panic, mate. try to use a USB Jig first; DIY if deemed necessary! then if all goes well, then flash away
did you try this?

dont mess your phone much

I agree!! I hard bricked my Ace once.. and nothing switched on. So all i did was take it to the service center, with a sad face and tell them that it suddenly switched off and stopped working.
When they asked what i was doing i simply said i was playing a game and it stopped. What is the game? NFS Shift (coz its quite laggy anyway)
And all they said was ''Alright sir, its a hardware faliure, i think its a motherboard short. We will have it replaced. Will have it for you in three working days.''
Act noobish and DONT say anything Smart!
They have no way of checking for Root/custom roms coz it wont switch on
***IMPORTANT - retain sad face until you exit service center! then go to the middle of the road and jump for joy (yes i did)

No they didn't charged me......my ace was bricked due to rom manager......they changed my phones motherboard ........I told them I was playing suddenly screen went off.......
$π®@£
I Will Not Charge You for pressing thanks.
I too fell in the trap of Rom Manager. I wasn't aware of the fact that ACE is not supported by ROM MANAGER.
I have been trying all methods // Download mode, Button combinations... Odin did recofnize it once but was stuck on 'set connection'... so I tried it again, but it didnt recognize it again.
Hence, now I am forced to take it to Service Centre. Would post my experice too once my ACE returns...
Thanks for the post guys.. this thread really helped..
Cheers !!

Lol, with me was easier, after two days that I had bought my Ace, I updated it to an europe Gingerbread firmware, but my Ace is a brazilian model, so, a few things started to happen, screen flickering, random shutdowns, 3G wasn't working. All I did was taking my phone back to my carrier store (the place where I bought the phone) and I told that the screen was flickering a lot. I wasn't into Android on that time, I really thought it was broken.
The phone was completely stock, the carrier customizations weren't there anymore, the language wasn't the right one. The girl who was helping noticed that my phone was a bit different from the others, but she said "no problem, we will send it back to Samsung" and then she gave me a new phone with the box and everything. Lol.

A friend of mine did that. He broke the mic on his phone with compressed air... Then he hardbricked his phone (i think it was LG optimus 2X, but maybe something else) and paid a little extra for SGS2.
Edit: I've installed dozens of custom roms and tweaks on my ACE. Never have i even gotten a bootloop (i've had some on other phones).. The main thing is to FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS and if there arent any than you should google a bit to find out if what you want to do works or not.

O1 died :( any chance??

Aww the main reason for this I guess is cos your phone did not have sufficient charge n so it died off while in emergency mode!

my advice for you is to tell them that the phone turned off because it ran out of battery,you plugged the charger but nothing happened so you decided to come to warranty.

I was flashing my O1 20C firmware, then mi usb cable moved a little, and disconnected, the flash stoped and the phone didn´t respond, so I unplugged, the O1 was on a yellow screen and I removed the battery, when I tried to turn it on it never did again, I taked it to my carrier, I said "it turned it off and never came back" and they gave me a new one.
If your phone is not turning on anymore you should say goodbay to him, I tried everything and nothing worked.

Depends on your country/region, we do not know.
Also, depends on the problem, the repairing might cost more than new one, if you have really messed up.

Other possibilities maybe he open his phone and mess something with the hardware system that are connected to its motherboard,so something wrong happen and you know what happen...

I mistakenly restored a stock gingerbread backup over a stock ics kernel. I sent it to be fixed but they said the board was damaged i dint think software coulld damage hardware like that. The phone turns on but just stays at the sony logo. I tried reflashing with flashtool a few times and flash was sucsesfull bits sill the same. Then tried wotan server but it could not write the files to the phone im out of ideas.

Yup, thered no way a kernel flash would damage hardware, the phone's hardware was either already damaged or they damaged it trying to fix was wasnt broken...

Get it to stock and see if it solves your problem theres no reason not to.

No bro, I have tried almost all kind of advices from the internet to get this issue resolved, but no luck, nothing helped. At last enquiredy deeply about this issue and found the thing, which is below.
Xperia Ray by default comes with Gingerbread , and it is upgradable to Icecream Sandwich. The thing is for many people who initialized the update from Sony for Migrating GB to IS, had got a new issue "Screen going Blank", this issue is due to the migration, which affect the relay part of the motherboard, so for the people who approaches Sony were got replaced with motherboard or mobile even(Only for warranty holding Customers).
People who doesn't have warranty have to throw the mobile, since instead of wasting money for motherboard replacement, we can buy a second hand Xperia ray phone.

Phone doesn't start at all

I know there are plenty of threads like this out there but the reason I am making a new one is because I am looking for a fix which I have not been able to find so far.
Last night my phone was working perfectly fine with no problems. This morning I woke up to a warm dead phone that doesn't start, go into download or recovery mode, different batteries doe not work. I want to be able to get this phone working exactly how it was without wiping it or cleaning the data out I want all my apps there, pics, contacts etc to be there in the phone exactly how it was before it died for no reason.
Is there anything I can do to make the phone start working again?
(I have already taken the phone to samsung with no use)

Two reasons why we have dead SGS3 One a problem with some motherboards and reason two is users mistakes .
If its dead its dead end of story .

Dead xperia u

Hi guys, i m having an xperia u running ics. it fell from my hands and froze so i took the battery out to restart, since then i cant turn on my phone when i press the power button it just vibrates once an there is backlight on the screen but nothing else not even the sony logo. Sometimes the illumination bar flashes green. i tried everything from removing the battery several times to flashing. the flashing proccess completes with no errors but the problem is still there. Any ideas? i have no custom roms or so only rooted with flashtools...
It seems the screen was broken take it to any nearby center to repair its hardware
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thank you for your answer, but i m pretty sure that the screen is not damaged maybe motherboard, although i would like to be sure that there is no software problem if possible... from what i have read when the sony logo doesnt appear means that the kernel is dammaged... is there any way to flash xperia u stock kernel first and then flash the firmware? also i had asked sony to give me the code to unlock the bootloader, but i never used it and didnt unlocked it, have i lost my warranty only for asking for the code?

Your warranty is still valid. I suspect your motherboard is damaged. But since u dropped it means warranty is gone

Finally, the problem was the screen and the touchpad, they changed both at the service point under warranty, as they had no obvious damage i guess... is this a common problem with st25?
