So I was copying some files to my SD card in Ubuntu (over USB) and then I unmounted the phone storage in Ubuntu and pulled the cable out of the phone. but it kept saying usb was still connected.. no matter how many times I selected disconnect USB, I couldn't access the SD card on the phone, and the computer wouldn't recognise the phone anymore either (then I tried Root Explorer) and the screen went off and the phone seemed to be off.. every time I pressed a button the phone would just give a short vibrate but nothing else.. then eventually nothing.. zip.. no button responce (tried holding down power button for ages, different key combinations.. safe mode etc).... no screen.. nada.. I thought I would have to re-flash the phone again.. but when I went to try and connect the phone in Flash mode to reflash firmware.. nothing happened.. like the phone was a brick (I was pretty upset by this point.. don't want to buy a new phone..)
then I pulled the sd card out.. and hey presto! instantly the phone was back.. it was still running everything was normal.. then I stuck the SD card back in.. it found it and now everything is honky dory..
anyway.. I just thought I would share.. in case this happens to anyone else..
I was like.. and then.. and.. then.. then after I pulled the SD card out now still a little
Hi
Have wierd problem with my Ace. So after unplug charger battery icon show that phone is still charging.Also I cant turn on phone ,only witch charger then after disconecting phone still working ,butt not for long .Any solution guys ?
try formatting your phone again with whatever rom you are using , wipe battery stats if you've clockwork mod recovery installed if not install it and do it
I cant do this because my volume keys dosent work (need new flex ribon),so i cant navigate in recovery mode.I done factory reset but still nothing .When I want conect with PC i have notification about not recognized device
I have xperia neo L and it stopped working it won't turn on... Here are the simptoms, when i press power button it vibrates and nothing else... Display won't turn on there are no sounds nothing... When i put it to charger if battery is low it shows orange light and when it charges it goes green... I tried seus and it completely reinstalls the software and same thing happens... Tried flashtool and all versions of stock roms same thing...
It goes to flash mode when i press back button and connect it to usb and it flashes phone succesfully and nothing... When i disconect phone and connect it again Flashtool sais that device is connected with usb debbuging off... So it detects phone... I even tried for fun to connect device without pressing power button, i connected it to usb then pressed home button and it installed as mass storage device, i'll place screenshots... I thought first maybe display is broken but it isn't... When i put sim card in phone and turn it on i'm always unavailable... Don't know what to do next? Any advices? Exept from thaking it to service, i will do that eventually but for few more days i want to tray fixing it myself... I would appreciate any advice... Thnx guys
Keep the device fully charged and try seus..Then again pin in charger only then after switch on. It may work
I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9300! While i was sleeping, i was charging my phone and when i woke up the phone was stuck at the initial logo screen of samsung! Then, i tried to press the home bottom power and volume up bottom to reset while it was doing that it went back again to the logo screen before being able to choose wipe cache and stuff! I tried it several times! Then as i was searching through net i saw that odin thing custom Rom and i thought that maybe i should give it a try! So i tried to installed it by connecting my phone to the laptop but my pc did not identify my phone! Then I tried again by connecting and disconnecting the pc with my phone and while doing so i pushed the button of Repartition at Odin. My phone was not identified so i have no idea if that happened! Now my phone does not even open, or charging! Please tell me if there is a way to make it work again!
It might be of some help to mention that my charger is a new one that i bought from bol.com and its not the original one! I have no idea if that affected somehow the mobile functioning.
No, you are unlikely to fix that. You can try a usb jig, see if download mode will start, but it sounds like partial SDS followed by user panic until it was hard bricked.
If it didnt show in odin you have a driver issue and the repartition wouldn't have happened.
Remove battery, sd and sim. Make sure the battery is charged.
Insert battery and hold home+vol down while pressing power once.
If the screen lights up do not let go of home+vol down until it has entered download mode. If the phone wont light up at this point you have a bigger problem.
Once in download mode install the samsung mobile device drivers on your pc, you might need to try different versions, and plug the phone into the pc's usb on the motherboard. Try to avoid using front mounted or shared ports as they are unreliable. If your phone doesnt interact with your pc try other drivers.

Ok, hi guys... yesterday I misinterpreted some instructions before flashing Rajeev's PureX v4.1 rom... was on Niaboc79's ExistenZ Y v2.6.0... so went on, wiped and factory resetted... then, instead of formatting system/data, I formatted data AND system so obviously now it gets stuck at the Sony logo when booting because it has nothing to boot up and the only way to shut it off is with the small red button on the left side until it vibrates, resets then shuts off...
I then told myself I could simply flash a .FTF back from FlashTool, but alas, not this time... ok, I'm on D6503 Z2 with locked bootloader which is not unlockable... and now, when my phone's off and FlashTool asks to connect phone in flash mode the phone doesn't act as it normally would. when plugging usb cable, instead of the original green led, it quickly shows red, then green then nothing and on flashtool we can now see an error which is shown in the screenshot below.
Drivers are installed and I guess the problem now has to do with the bogus leds as they are the same just trying to connect in flash mode out of FlashTool... I Googled and read a lot about it yesterday on XDA and the only potential answer I could find was telling to flash a .ftf whrough FlashTool which was my first bet anyway but now, I really can't think of anything and would please appreciate your assistance about that... I hate to say this but I must admit what I'm requesting now is some help to get me through my own f*** up, please...
Might be a corrupt .ftf , try downloading another one or build your own with xperifirm+flashtool.
You can also try repairing with sony pc companion app...
Thanks for the quick answer... In fact I tested with 4 different ftfs I know are working... and as I said the problem is with the inability of phone to enter flash mode and its wrong leds when connecting to flash mode; not a software issue... I also tried with PCCompanion but it fails at detecting the phone since it freezes at the Sony logo and doesn't boot anything...
EDIT it also doesn't charge when I plug usb or ac. Instead it quickly toggles leds red, green, none one time and stays off... same way as when I try connecting it to flashmode holding vol-...
I've flashed many sony phones that don't boot / bootloop with flashtool and they always come to life again unless there's hardware problems
You phone is beeing detected in flashtool as beeing in flashmode so it's entering the correct mode. As a last resort i would try flashing on another pc/os , i still think it's pc related... are you using any android emulator on the pc? bluestacks / andy or that kind of stuff?
They cause loader.sin errors too... had that happen once on my work computer, uninstalled bluestacks and flashed fine afterwards.
Sorry i can't think of anything else right now...
I don't have another pc, but I reinstalled a pc backup so it is as when I originally set it up... reinstalled flashtool, reinstalled drivers and launched FlashTool to flash a .FTF. It just did the same as before flashes red, flashes green then nothing but the same errot message in FlashTool... but I noticed one thing, everytime I just plug phone to pc, Flashtool states it's in Flash mode as it is not. it was simply plugged in... and I don't use such as BlueStacks... and anyway the phone's leds react wrongly first then the asked action, flashing, cannot be applied hence the error message in FlashTool... thanx for your help...
I'm really used to flashing stuff and I know my mistake now was to format the system partition. From that time, it became impossible to flash any .ftf and the only info, signal I've got is the led quickly displaying red then green led intead of just green then starting to flash, when cable is plugged in, holding VOL-...
Damn formatting the system partition should not hard-brick your phone bro i've done exactly the same mistake on my also unlockable BL Z2 a long time ago, wiped everything and rebooted the phone without flashing the rom xD phone would only show sony logo (can't remember led status) but it flashed normally and came back to life. maybe you got really really unlucky and your bootloader got messed up somehow :| You already did everything i would have done without success, i'm also out of ideas... but xda is full of great minds, maybe someone else can help you better.
You are absolutely right... I had done the same mistake on my xperia T, a while back, and a simple flash from flashtool had taken care of it... I don'T even come to ask for help, usually... when I mess things up, I have always succeeded in bringing the thing back to life... until now...
thanx a lot for your help.
EDIT: Oh, even worse now... when flashtool is done preparing the FTF to be flashed and asks to plug in phone holding VOL-, I tried just plugging the phone WITHOUT holding any button and it did the exact same error I screenshotted earlier, with same red/green/none scheme... So computer really sonsiders phone to be in flashmode from the moment it's plugged in...
No problem, wish i could help more. It does seem like your phone is stuck on fastboot or flashmode. If you just power on the phone and connect it to pc (no flashtool running) does your pc device manager detect your phone? what device does it detect? If you connect in fastboot mode (vol up + plugin usb cable) what do you see in the device manager? Maybe try completely discharging your phone, leave it powered on for a day or so until the battery dies completely, maybe it'll "reset" to normal mode? Just throwing some ideas now, at least we're keeping the thread alive, maybe someone more expert will look at it too
Why you guys quoting every post? Makes it tedious scrolling on mobile.
@rubiicon59 old habits lol xD i edited my posts and removed the quotes, since no one else is participating in the thread they aren't really needed...

first, sorry for the late answer... ok,,, when I only plug usb cable into phone, it is not detected... However, I can boot into fastboot and then it's detected in device manager as in the screenshot below... But, it does flash red just before turning blue for fastboot... just the same quick red flash as when I plug USB in...

Just a quick tip- don't use the red button, it is only for emergency and it is annoying to open the flap everytime. Instead, use the Power + Volup and hold for a few seconds.
WOW! reallly can'T say why it didn't work first time, but I tried reinserting sd card and retake it out, started one last time to flash a .ftf and it worked.... Great, now back on my backup... everything working as it should now....
thanx to @BlAckXpeRia for the reminder tip... Red button should only be used when everything else failed to shut the phone down...
and of course, thanks to @ptmaniac for your help all along these stressful last 2 days... THANKS!!!
oh yeah, SOLVED
Nice!! i really really like this phone, i would be very sad if it died on me like that, good to hear you got your phone back
M having same issue without any SD card, what should I do ? :'(
