Hi,
I own a Xperia p, running honami moonwalker v8. Recently i decided to upgrade to CM11. I flashed the CM11 unofficial ROM from this website nightly 2 i think. I did a clean install (erase everything and clear cache) But when i pressed reboot (on cwm) i got a black screen. When you hold the power button it vibrates but screen doesnt turn on, the led goes red for about 2sec and goes off. i tried holding power button and volume up but same result, vibrates and nothing comes up. Even when I make it vibrate 3 times, no result. Im desperate guys please help me i will appreciate your help greatly. And if this means anything, when i installed zip from sd card, it just said installing, and after a few minutes, said install complete. Is this normal? since it didnt show anything in between. PLEASE HELP I WILL TRY DONATE TO WHOEVER FIXES MY PROBLEM.

1. Open flash tool (don't click anything)
2. Turn the phone off, power + volume up until you feel (1+) 3 vibreations.
3. Press the volume up key while connecting the USB cable, led should lit blue and connected in fastboot should be in the log.
4. Repeat 2, press volume down while connectiong the USB cable for flash mode, check flashtool log
If flash mode stays connected for about 45 seconds you can simply try to flash stock with flash tool.
If fastboot stays connected over 20 seconds you can flash custom stock based kernel and flash moonwalker again, or any other custom rom you have on the phone.
If none works, just leave it turned of, charging for one day then try again.
I've seen more than one report of people that recovered XP by disconnecting the battery, though it didn't work for others.

Hi I have Xperia mini ST15i and I have a big problem.
First I enabled the bootloader ---> Fine
Second I root it ---> Fine
I want to install a custom rom ---> Crash
My phone crashed or something like that. When I turned my phone on it is Xperia(bootloader) Logo keep turning on and off. I deleted all the files on phone(removed android(I think)). Now the problem is that I see only Xperia logo nothing happens only that. I can acess boot loader but I don't know what to do next. Any Suggestions ?

Oh and no root is needed to install custom ROM. At all.

Switch off the phone, press volume down button, connect the phone through USB > green led ! Annd you're done

Green LED?! Blue LED must be lit up not Green LED! And also Volume Up key has to be pressed not Volume Down key.
Hold Volume Up key, then connect USB cable; Blue LED has to be lit up.
I recommend you not to flash it again, things will be worse. Give it somewhere to repair.

It's volume down. Volume up is used to enter fastboot, afaik.

Yes, and flash is possible from this way. I've not heard about flashmode. When Green LED lits up it means the phone is charging (If more than 90%).
Am I right?

You, sir, are a fail.
Blue LED is fastboot mode, not flashmode. Volume UP is fastboot mode, not flashmode.
EDIT: I see, you posted there between, before me.
Volume Down while turned off and connecting USB cable, is flashmode, where you can install stock firmware to your phone.
Volume Up etc... is fastboot mode, only used to install custom kernels(and unlock bootloader if using official way).
Got it, thank you.
Everyone excuse me for giving erroneous information.
Xperia S Issues. Bad Flash
Hi, I read the 'existing users' installation instructions on the Sspeed ICS rom and installed the rom without installing the ics rom and kernel (I was tired). When booting, I go in a bootloop with the doomkernel screen. I can access recovery fine.
When holding vol+ and connecting to PC the phone goes back into it's bootloop and does not boot into fastboot.
When holding vol- and connecting to PC the phone flashes the green led and then boots into bootloop.
If I wait until the phone vibrates and lights up blue I can press the button to access recovery. I thought I could then just copy a gb rom over using USB mount but it is not detected on the PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi thanks for your reply. I've tried going to fastboot
from recovery and I get a blue flashing light for one flash then it boots up again. Am I able to do anything at that point?
Glad I'm not the only stupid one on here
im not the expert here but I have bricked other phones before but never an xperia phone before. I have been reading up, the doom kernel has some mounting options, try to mount the sd card as mass storage so pc can send files accross to the phone. It should be mount and storage menu -> mount usb storage, then leave it on that menu and connect to computer, see if that works

Hi is this by the mount USB storage optuon ? I tried that and it wasn't detected on the PC. I could try another PC later. Recovery went into mount mode fine but nothing happened on the PC. Not even a blank drive which I know some people have had
If it blinks the LED for a second and reboots, that means that you don't have the drivers. Install drivers that are bundled with flashtool and try again. Or use Linux / OSX.

I've used the laptop I'm trying it on for unlocking the boot loader and rooting. Maybe something corrupted the drivers. Will try on my Linux machine when I get home.
Thank you for all the help so far
Just Press VolUp and Power button until you get (one vibration followed by 3 consecutive vibrations) ... it will mean phone is shutdown.
Once shutted down, you will be able to press VolDown while plugging phone to PC and it will enter into flashmode.
Then you will be able to flash a FTF using flashtool
doesn't work...after the 3 beeps i let go and the screen turns black but then the boot loop happens again, i cant turn the phone off

Hello. I've got familiar problem. My phone blacked out after one day having about 35 % battery full. I was trying to reset it by holding power and volume up buttons - nothing happened. Just once showed up Sony logo but then again black nothing. Then it vibrate 3 times quickly and from that time it is shutted down, won't turn on even in flashmode. LED is not working too. I was asking for advice in local store servise and guy told me, that new phones have to be at least 30 min on the charger. So it's here now for hour, no result. :/
Just fixed this issue.
Follow these steps
1.hold vol up + power until phone vibrates 3 times.
2.open flash tool and point towards your stock file.
3.hit okay
4.wait for flash tool to prepare the files then it will prompt you to connect device in flash mode( vol down + power)
5.wait for it to finish. Unplug reboot and there you go fixed...
Hope this helps

Use the bundled wallcharger!!! not a PC, pc has too less power to charge it now!
After wallcharger is placed hold vol+ and power for a few seconds until 3 vibrations, then let the phone on charger for atleast 2 hours, if all is good phone will bootup to the "charging animation"
Regards

Something similar happened to me. I have the bugged version of chargemon (only can charge with phone on) and accidentally discharged completely. The phone didn't boot, didn't charge and didn't do the 3 vibrations thing. So I put the battery off, conected the wall charger, putted the battery and it booted
It's really easy to remove the battery, you just need to be careful

I unbricked my phone with this guide. my phone was in a OS bootloop but it works, in your case, a Kernel Bootloop. Its a very good guide. You DO NOT need to root your phone. When flashing, instead of pressing back you press volume down. The phone should be able to enter what it is called, flash mode regardless of what problems. After flashing ALL DATA WILL BE LOST. Just follow the guide.

Hi, i have problem with zenfone 5. My brother tried to install new android using wireless update in phone(auto update function). So the update downloaded just fine and phone was turned off like its gonna install update but never turned on after this, i tried everything but cant turn it on. I cant even get asus logo, absolutly nothing. When i turn it on charger led dosent show up, tried to enter droidmode(vol up + power) for 10min but nothing. My first guess will be dead MBO but its really weird that this is happen in same time the update was, so probably is something software related.

Same over here too, did you solve your problem?
Hello guys.
Hoping on your truly support. Have the problem, which cannot solve by myself.
Was trying to flash boot.img from CWM recovery 6.0.3.0 via fastboot. It flashes succesfully, but after rebooting the tablet it doesnt show any signs of life. Was trying EMMA for solving , Flashtool to change kernel, but when plug it through usb, it haven't launched and PC don't recognize any device connected. When i press Vol+ Vol- Power at the same time LED lights with white 3 times and that all.
Was using rooted Lollipop 5.1.1 with unlocked bootloader.
Is there any possibility to reanimate it or its finished totally.
Regards.
Edit.
Many thnx 2 Alok Bajaj for his solution:
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
Cheers mate!
hi,
thanks for the tutorial, I try it but*don`t see the second three blue blinks how long usually*takes to wait for them
Hi there! I think I have hardbricked my tablet (SGP321) too. The thing is, mine won't start, no matter what I press and do. If I press the power button it blinks white and if I press the UP button with it, it blinks three times. After that nothing happens. If I connect a USB to it, it just flickers first red and then green. And thats it.
I tried to flash [7.1] CyanogenMod 14 [POLLUX/POLLUX_WINDY][UNOFFICIAL] by CaHbKaUp and chose the Pollux Version from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z/general/rom-cyanogenmod-14-t3496758. I also flashed the recommended GApps.
I whiped the sd-card in recovery (twrp) first and then flashed the new rom and GApps.
I think I chose the wrong version, maybe? I flashed my tablet once and I thought I could do it again, the same way as before. Guess I was wrong.
If there is anything I can do to get this back to work, please respond!
