Hi guys,
I am new to your Sony Ericsson forum here. Normally I've got an old HTC Wildfire, but a friend of mine, got a xperia sola for a couple of weeks. She is not very experienced at mobile phones and android. Today she asked me for help, because her sola does not boot anymore. She has shut it down before going to sleep, and has put it on the charger. Today morning, she tried to start it again, but when pressing the power button, nothing happens. Even when the charger is connected, the led doesn't come up.
The sola is completely stock. Not rooted, no custom rom's. Completely OEM. 2 months old.
What to do? Please help her
Greetings from Germany
Problem solved!
Sorry for this useless topic.
Problem solved.
Told her to press volume up and power once.
And it booted
Thx anyway.
Hey everybody.
I've got a problem with my Xperia Ray (ST18i), after i've installed custom rom.
I've unlocked bootloader oifficially, and than installed android 4, because here, in Uzbekistan, i couldn/t get it officially, so i've got to make it manually.
Everything was good, flashing went OK. but after that i began having problems with my screen.
When I'm tring to unlock the screen it doesn't turns on. I see that my screen is on, it becomes brighter, but the screen is still black. But when I'm sliding that region of the screen where unlock bar is located, I hear that the phone is unlocked, and when I touch the screen, I can hear that i can puch the buttons and etc. so the screen is working, but it's still black. I can turn the screen on only one way, I need to push the on/off button several times, sometimes it's enough when I push it 3-5 times, but sometimes I need to push it about 20-30 times to turn the screen on.
I tried changing roms, kernels, but no result, I thought that problem is that I'm flashing only ICS ROMs and flashed it back to it's Android 2.3.4, but again there was no result.
Plus I want to mention that the phone was working veeeery good with any ROM that I was flashing, speed of working was great, but screen is pissing me off.. (((
Please help me to solve that problem?
Please??? Please??? I need my phone...
It's not so easy to buy good phone here in Uzbekistan, so I can't just forget about this one, and just buy another. I nned to fix it...
Hope anyone can help me.. ThX

Could be hardware issue, take to repair center then if you still have warranty.
Better let them deal with it before something gets really messed up.
First find: LINK1
Second: LINK2
Third: LINK3
I've looked around sufficiently and I have yet to find anything to fix my problem.
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 MiniPro U20A and I was fiddling with the CWM menu I installed and after a few messages for one of the actions I get a message along the lines of this action will make the menu not work because of an earlier action, I was like oh crap. The damage was done so I decided to continue and just re-flash the original through SEUS.
Long story short I can't access flash mode.<- Yeh see that, that there is a period, I have tried method after method and It wont do it. I guess at times in its current state it runs out of battery and that might be why I get the red blinking light for a while before it continues to the Sony Ericsson logo and stays, it doesn't loop power like when I accidentally soft bricked it my first try at unlocking the boot loader, it just stays until I unplug it and it dies or I pull the battery. Sometimes after I pull the battery and press the power button it vibrates before the logo, but it never goes anywhere.
So that's all of the symptoms I can see, now I want you to tell me if you can help me or if this is just a useless cause so I can go on complaining about the lack of development for the Samsung Vitality a.k.a. Admire that my sister handed down to me when she got her new phone.
Maybe you need a new battery, like I did.

Battery works fine on a full charge but ever since I bricked it I haven't been charging it that much.
I was thinking there could be a way to boot from sd card, but a quick search didn't turn up any results. Any help at all would be appreciated.
Small update, sony pc companion recognizes that it is a sony device but it wont recognize it as an ericsson x10 mini pro it just says unknown device.
so, turns out to access flash mode your phone must have plenty of charge. Sorry for bugging and thanks to munlicar for trying to help.

man i'm sorry , but you have bricked Screen !
Hi
What do you want to do?
If your screen is broken, you could "do" something via ADB, but not so much.
PERHAPS you could delete your lockscreen (you can do, search), make the device boot wisthout sim cadr (=no pin), install (adb install) something like airdroid or similar (i do not know such apps), launch it (inside ADB with "am" + something) and hope you can "use" your phone via PC.
Ok looks more like SCI-FI!

My friend has a Mini Pro with broken lcd , he broke it 6 months back but he still manages to use till now with out any problem....
try flashing custom kernel and a new ROM , If that doesnt help.... u have to go to customer care..
Re:all
thanks all, but i'm sure that lcd is fine (maybe), because, before that (suddenly restart) my phone is allready fine with all function normally (although my lcd is broken but touch function is normal). until restart happen, my phone was not start up again. in lcd i see blank, no logo and anything. just vibrate 2 times. in that condition i think, i can make a call for test but the warning from sim operator said that my phone was turn off.

for Publiuss, i hope you can give me tutorial how to controllling my phone via pc in condition my phone like now.
maybe use the usb cable to know that my phone (until flashing rom or kernel) was working or not, and if i can getting that, means, my phone trouble in lcd.
i will keep out for cust care if i can solving my trouble by self, because maybe if i have to go cust care they will charge me cost not much different with new buying this phone.

Well Man i say is not software problem. If you flash stock firms, custom roms and kernels you manipulate all the system if the phone dont turn on is a ardware problem. Search a tuto how to open you phone and see if dont have nothing wrong. The conection screen "flex".you see all ok buy a new screen on eBay. Try. After all that phone is very important for you.
Press thnks if I helped to your mind.
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
actually i had the exact same (or similar) problem after 6 months of ownership.
1) broken screen, dropped phone several times, everything still works no trouble
2) random restarts
3) boot problems, restarts got more frequent
4) can no longer boot, only a lit black screen, no SE logo
Does that sound familiar?
I understand it could be a HW problem but the only thing I can think of is the digitaliser/screen. Try to replace that and see far you get, you can find a replacement cheap from ebay (they come free with tools) and also disassembly guides are on ifixit
please post your results!!
Mini Pro screen is really vulnerable, so even a little defect can cause further issues.
I had a Mini Pro which its screen cracked when I dropped it, it was fully functionable for weeks then one Friday touchscreen didn't response anymore.
I visited a technician and paid about 4,000 Philippine pesos to get it fixed.
Second defect happened after I came back to Korea, when I dropped it toward the wooden frame of my bed.
At first the screen had several purple horizontal lines, then soon it completely blacked out.
It still exists inside my drawer, and since I loved its keypad, I recently ordered $20 screen set in Aliexpress.
I have a question: Did you fix your device after writing this thread? Was the problem related only with the screen?
Hi all,
after 3 days of searching, maybe I've found something sounds good, but I'll stay in test mode for a while and I'll keep you in touch in case it is really stable.
What's happend :
3 days ago I did a simple ''factory reset'' and since then I experience a continous reboots after a minute or two alive in Android official 6.0.1 and a bootloops when processor cames really hot.
At this time on internet you can find lots of people with the same issue and all of us without any solutions at all.
Now here the list of my tries :
- Did again a ''factory reset'' with Sony companion and Sony flashtool Emma : no changes
- Call Sony for support? Warranty still okay? : do not waste your time, Sony wants your money and thats it ! (take a try anyway, you will see by yourself)
- So let's root the phone! Even if you do not know what to do, you can find looots of Tutorials and lots of very geek competent guys to help you (better than Sony support anyway), thanks XDA Developers !!!
- Even if I've completely erased all partitions with TRWP, when flashing and back again in stock Android with xperifirm : still no changes !!!
Now, during those tries I've noticed that the temperature of processor is dangerously high, and that for every startup process.
You know, at the end I think that the bootloop (I guess in that case only) it is made by temperature mainboard automatic protection.
Anyway, before to play freesbee with and go to buy a new one, I've tried to :
- open the back side (very simple but all operations should made very carefully)
- unplugged the battery for 15 minutes
- take off processor's metal protection to avoid heat retention
- plugged the battery again
- close the back side and started Android
Since then the phone is still alive !!! Just working as it should...
I'm trying all I can do to stress it to see if any problems happend again, installing back all apps, using Root features to uninstall useless Google or Sony apps, restet the phone several times.
The processor still heat up every time you do something or restart, but I do not experiencing sudden rebooting or bootloops again at the moment.
As far as I'm concerned, I would say as well that it is a processor issue, but I'm not a scientist, so I guess this apply to different Xperia models and not only to M4 Aqua Dual.
DO NOT FORGET that this is not a real solution. I just did the only thing that you cannot normally do with that kind of phone : unplug the battery.
I hope I can give some good ideas to all of you, or maybe a good way to a solution .
Happy to share,
Flaximuss
More information please
Well, now I'm sure it is hw problem.

So, I will explain what has happened.
I received a Warning Statin "Unfortunately, Hike as stopped" followed by "Unfortunately Google has stopped" "Unfortunately home has stopped"...
So I shut my phone off, which I used to do every time and restarted it.
My what happened next is something I haven't experienced before.
My Xperia, just displayed "SONY" logo and nothing else. I know to flash and I have done that many times before. So I was lethargic that I could easily bring my sony back to the world. but that didn't happen anyway :crying: :crying:
I read so many threads in XDA but none of them could have faced what I'm facing. Coz my Sony Xperia Aqua M4 will not vibrate so I couldn't able to differentiate Hard and Soft boot.
After waiting for a restless 24hours I tried to open my Sony Xperia Aqua M4 that's when the real problem started...
I found a video that if we remove the battery and reinsert it then everything will be fine.
so, I removed the back cover.
Flip opened that Copper Layer (I really don't know its purpose though) and unplugged 3 battery plugs. That when the things began to get out of my hand.
After reinserting the plug I started my mobile once again only to see the Sony Logo and not the blue waves. So I tried to restart the mobile by pressing the Rest button near the SD Card Slot only then I came to know it stopped working.
So once again I unplugged the battery and this time I had that copper layer trimmed and replugged the battery.
And this time no Sony Logo too :crying: but I could feel the temperature of metal on the board rising to its peak. I don't know what to do...
Is there a way to make my Sony work again?
Pieces of Advice Please.......
Temporal solution
If you don't want to disarm your phone I got one solution:
1) Press the screen with your thumb and the back panel with index finge, near the nfc logo
2) At the time of starting it helps sometimes.
It is an hardware problem.
The solution worked but...

Hi, the phone has started up, however, is there any way to make the solution last?
Please it would be really nice that there is a chance to recover the phone.

Of course there is a way to save your phone, but nowadays the process cost more than buying another M4 AQUA used. You can do "reballing" or a little "reflow" in any refurbishing store if you want but I recommend changing that phone. It is not so good to use mate.
