Hello
At first a big thumbs up for the great forums...following it since years. it´s great you people developed such a great community!
Well let´s come to my problem.....I guess i f***ed up my brand new tablet z
I was trying to install cyanogenmod on it and during that process i guess i made a crucial mistake.
As i already did it once on my old samsung galaxy plus i tried it again and i was doing great.
I´ll save you the details on how i tried to install cyanogen....
Lets get to the problem
Well i have a SGP312 (Wifi 32gb)
4.2.2 android
Built 10.3.1.c0.136
during flashing clockworkmod tablet broke down...
All i get now is a black display and a red led.
Tablet reacts when i press vol. up + power button but nothing happens.
Only the led turns off. lights up white then green, while connected to windows the pc informs that it detected some connected device but nothing appears.
fastboot commands not working it only says waiting for device...
Well i really do hope you guys do have a solution or any advice...
if you need more information just tell i post all you need
thank you

Hello everyone,
I just tried to put CM 10.1 (pollux RC3) on my Z, but I think I made a mistake: I accidently used a fastboot command which was meant for the xperia z phone, not the tablet (something like "fastboot flash boot boot.img"). Now I probably crashed my tablet, didn't I?
First a red light was visible, after 10mins I did a vol.up+power button reset. Now the red light is gone and so is my tablet. I can't get it recognized on the computer anymore, I can't start up the device, nothing.
Anyone has an idea what to do or am I just screwed?
*Edit*
Got it working again, see link in last post.
No you're not screwed. Download your corresponding system dump (do a search in this XTZ forum) eg. SGP311 (wifi 16gb), or SGP312(wifi32gb) and so on. Download flashtool (do a search too). FLASH THAT SYSTEM DUMP WITH FLASHTOOL (sorry for caps). HTH.
cool, thanks for the quick reply. I guess I was a bit fast on the first try...cool someone can help me out
downloading the dump and flashtool right now, gonna take a while, slow connection right now.
cheers
Aaalright...*still hoping not to be screwed*
If I plugin the usb cable to the computer, holding the volume button down for flash mode, absolutely nothing happens. I tried windows boxes and linux boxes, neither one of them logs anything happening on the usb ports.
Does anyone have a suggestion what to do? The tablet seems dead...the only thing is a single quick LED blink if I do a reset with power button + vol. up. So far I can't get it to do anything else besides that.
*New situation*
I plugged in the USB cable while holding power+vol up. Now I got a constant red led...
Trying this right now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42003603
Hello,
I was in the process to install a new rom in my tablet,
I first root, the tablet, everything was fine
I unlock the bootloder, and again everything was ok
So I extract the boot.img from a Cyanogen rom as describe in one tutorial and put it in the tablet with a fastboot instruction.
After that my tablet seems to be dead.
The only life trace is when I push power and + during a certain time, a violet ligkt blinked one, then a blue blinked one, and after a blue blinked twice.
Nothing more
Mot possible anymore to go in fastboot mode.
Any kind of help is welcome, thanks in advance

Bit more detail how you bricked it installing CWM. What exactly you done and where you get it from.
Try to shut it down, press power + volume up untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations.
See if you can connect it in flash mode (connect usb to pc while you hold volue down), the led should turn green.

First I'd like to thank's for your help ChikeD!
Well.... I was trying to install the new CM 11 Nightly Build - a custom ROM build on Android 4.4.2 KitKat- on my Sony Xperia P device
I had rooted succesfully and was seaching for an app on google play store to provide access to "recovery mode" that works with my LT 22i to finish the installation of this new rom... i tryed lot of apps, but no one worked... and so I've found this app "Recover X" from LEDelete developer.
after install and run, this app show me one option to get access to recovery mode... i dont remember exactly, but i saw somethig like "CMW......" on screen. after download, I tryed to reboot my phone and then its completly dead!! i'd tryed any kind of possibility pressing buttons dowloading softwares and more but my computers didn't recongize it when connect USB cable...
vol+ / power dont work, vol- / usb dont work, no charging indicator, no lights blinks, nothing works! it looks like a motherboard without any operational system...
And I saw in some websites that exist one JIG for Samsung devices that alows recovery phones with problems like mine... so i wonder if is possible to find some JIG for Xperia P or any other possibility of reinstallation of android system
I hope i made myself clear because I'm still learning this language... that means I'm sorry for my bad english in advice...
If there is anything that you can't understand, please let me know
Thank's a lot!

If you had asked before I would have told you Recovery X won't work, didn't work the 2 times I have tried it, but didn't brick my phone eithr.
To incatal CM you didn't neet to root or install CWM since you need to flash it's kernel anyway.
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Was the phone fully charged when it happened, did it start boot and then died or just went black?
Have you tried to hold the power + volume up for 10-15 minutes?
To reinstall firmware you need flash mode (volume down while connecting to USB), have you flashed with flashtool or PC Companion before?

Yes i had reinstalled twice by flash tool and pc companion, holding vol down while connecting to USB, because the device was with very low performance.
When i was trying to get rebooted on "recovery mode" before the black screen, my battery was on 85%....
Yesterday i tried to do "hard reboot" holding the power + volume up for 50 minutes and nothing....
Actually what i really need is find a way to get some response of the system of this phone (by connecting in some jig, or doing something with the software or even the hardware...), because if my computer recognize the phone, i do believe that i'll can handle with reinstallation... in other words, my challenge now it's only get out from the black screen for any other operational response
One of my ideas is unmount rear cover and try to disconnect the battery cord for 10 minutes and see if something changes... but i'm fully opened to new ideas
I really believe that i'll succeed on this case with yours precious help!!
Thank you again for your assistance!

Hey guys,
I've got the xperia z tablet (16gb wifi only)
and I had unlocked it, the other day I saw it finally got an OTA update, so I let it update.
apparently that was a bad idea?, I was stuck with the broken android symbol every time i attempted to start the tablet..
I tried the sony software, the recovery thing it has. That has only made things worse, now the tablet refuses to start whatsoever.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'd appreciate it very much.

Hi
I had the same issues when I flashed the wrong ROM. Nothing worked no power light or anything.
Now I can't remember exactly what I did but I started to press buttons and I'm sure that holing the power button and the vol up for a while made it start again and it displayed an error and then went into flash mode .
As I said I'm not sure which buttons I pressed but I know that I held them in for a while
Try using Flashtool... Im pretty sure you can rcover it by flashing a FTF file.

So there is hope. :highfive:
I think I found the testpin. My sgp311 has started to blink after being dead since November, when I bricked it.
I don't have the device pack though.. Do you have any clue on how to find it? I think I just need the sgp311 SEMC package to resuscitate it now... Hopefully...

get the stock ftf file and flash it using flashtools, I was in a bootloop and it worked
i know its an old post but i have to try
i m in a boot loop and i want to find the Fed file in order to do a fastboot....
Can someone give them??
I test my tablet SGP321 with many ROMs.. I end up going to boot loop... Crashes and stuff but I always recover from it.
The things I do before doing anything insane with my tablet
1. Take backup off apps/data
2. Always enable debugging and Unknown Sources
3. Keep the backup of the ROMs
4. Always have the xperia flashtool on my computer
Here's what you can do..
Press and hold the Power button and the Volume Up button for ten seconds until you see a white light flashing three times. While doing this somewhere around in 5 seconds you'll see white led flashing once, but keep on pressing those buttons till it flashes next three times.
After that your tablet will be turned Off.
You can put your device in flash mode and flash a new ROM from Xperia flash tool.
If you get the error "Unknown sources and USB debugging must me enable for flash mode, then your option can be to flash the ROM from fastboot.
Download a ROM (CyanogenMod or any with custom recovery).
Flash the boot.img via fastboot and reboot your device.
Once done you should see a led lit up while the device is booting (pink/magenta color in case of CyanogenMod).
Press the volume up/down button and you should be able to go to recovery mode.
From here you can recover your device easily
And before you do anything make sure you've charged your device well.
Good luck
Hi to all.
I have a big trouble.
I used the Fu**ing application LagFix (fstrim) (Play store Link: http://play.google.com/store/apps/de...y.lagfix&hl=it ),that before worked normally on my old Xperia S, on my Xperia Tablet S (SGPT121 wifi only,with last official firmware with root) and after 3-5 minutes that application start working tablet shut down.
Now led of charging doesn't work when I plug in the charger and Tablet doesn't start.
If I try to enter in recovery (Power button + Volume up) nothing appear except status led that give a white light for a second and nothing more.
After many try I also disconnected the battery but not good result received.
Pc Companion don't recognize tablet.
I also looked the unbrick metod with SD card,but ask to enter in recovery mode but is not possible for me cause tablet doesn't start,only white light give sign of life...
I must really say goodbye to my tablet? ( T_T)
Thanks.
