OK guys . . . probably an easily solvable problem. But i need advice.
here goes . .
Recently i got an Xperia Sola. Its my sister and she was using it for almost an year. Now bought new one so i get to use the old SOLA..
So the problem now is that its not Switching ON. I put the phone on wall charger for almost 2 days continuously. I think the battery is messed up.
On wall charger/ PC i'm getting this bright red LED but it only lights up for some time, say some minutes. then it goes off and nothing happens , no lights nothing. i don't think its in bricked state because my sister doesn't know anything about Root, cwm, custom ROM etc so its still in factory settings. i tried to switch it on Still nothing.
i'm thinking of buying a new Battery.
Any advice . . ?? what should i do ?

Hey xda crew!
i was hoping you might be able to help me out with this problem i have
I tried to root my phone recently using the "newbies guide to rooting x10" and well when i turned my phone back on it wouldn't turn on and just vibrated constantly untill i took the battery out.
after that i decided to try and reinstall software using SEUS and it told me that it worked. But when i tried to start my phone it again wouldn't start. but this time instead of vibrating the screen light just turned on and sort of flashed every now and then.
I left the phone on all night charging while the screen was doing funny things, in hope that it would eventually start up. but when i got up in the morning the battery had gone dead and all that was happening was the red led light was flashing.
I tried to get it back into flash mode, but because the battery was so dead all the phone would do was the red lights would flash when i plugged it into the computer.
As im not sure that i can claim it on warranty.. i was wondering if my problem lies in the USB cord/charger or the phone its self? or the battery?
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Would be a amazing help.
Thanks heaps in advance.
Well, something probably went wrong when you tried too root it, so it turned into a brick.
You won't be able to claim it on the warranty because you lost that when you tried rooting it.
Get your battery charged (maybe in someone elses x10), and search the forums here, i'm pretty sure that there is a de-brick guide somewhere, although i haven't tried it.
To get into flash mode, your bttry need to be on 50% charged... Your phone must've been booting all night, find a way to charge your battery mate, n then bfore flasing, take out ur battery, hold the back key n insert it back.... Hope this will b helpful...
maguyver it take an old charger cut the end off strip the wires now touch the red to the positive and black to negative of your battery and plug it in... i had to do it for my buddies droid x when i bricked it when it was it it reads as full charge but you only wanna have it plugged in like that for like 10 min tops

Guess there's not many to help in this issue. I just faced the same man. Don't know what to do. It won't go to flash mode, SEUS don't recognize, neither the flash tool. Reinstalled PC companion thinking the drivers have gone wrong but that don't seem to be the issue.
So im here with a bricked x10, lol but not funny ppl
Someone(recognized developer) in the forum said that the X10 can't b hard bricked. Also, i got this problem 2-3months back. But now its alright.
SEUS did't find the drivers for my x10. Then i went to my friends home(who also has x10) and flash my x10 using seus. I found drivers because drivers were already installed on my friend's pc.
So, i just want to tell you that:
Flash your X10 from that PC which already has drivers installed.
Remember your x10 can't b hard bricked. It will be semi-bricked.
Sorry for my bad english

I'm not a DEV
But I played and bricked and de-bricked my x10 a lot and I literally installled and tested almost all ROM's the dev's posts
So, this is what I feel would've happand.
First of all, u didnt mention if u were on 2.1 or 2.3.
Because rooting 2.3 is not as easy as 2.1.
Now, like what most people commented, you root must have been broken.
Also, what I feel is that your battery stats were wrong.
That means, your battery was not holding the proper charge what it was actually "showing" (charging is infact is software based).
Now, what you actually can do is, find another person who has an X10 near your place.
Put ur battery in his cell and check whats happening.
If its really out of juice, then use "his" phone to charge your battery.
Charge it to full and then put it back to ur phone and try starting your phone.
If the vibration thing is happening, then ur battery is good.
Now open flash tool, and remove battery from ur phone.
Connect USB to phone and comp, and press the back button and hold it, and while holding it, insert the battery.
From my experience, you should be seeing the green light now, and my openion is that u flash the 2.1 generic firmware and then rroot the phone first, install recovery and after doing these, install any of the custom ROMs available.
I'm using Wolf's ROM v 4.04 and its very stable.
All the best and report back if your problem is fixed.
so some small background
been puting custome roms on my phone for a whial iv "bricked" it 100s of times ... i dont really consider it bricked if it turns on
neway started with it not turning on without being pluged in to usb shows dead batt icon
than it would boot loop once i did get it back on have odin a stock rom in
went on like this for about a week trying to find wtf i did wrong and why
now i had it on and chargeing went onto another item iv been working on come back its off and will not turn on no download mode no power nothing
so it basicaly bricked tho i didnt do anything to it at that time ... im guessing hardware
ima be trying unbrickable mod i gota find someone to do it ... or a better soldering rig witchever is cheaper
any ideas anyone ever heard of this its just so bizzar to me it hapion outside of me putting a rom on it or anything
Sounds more like a dead battery or charging hardware issue to me. The boot loop after draining the battery out is common as you can read about it here. I would start off with a fresh battery and and new charging setup first .

chargeing i got alot of cables to charge but even with no batt u can go into download mode
for the sake of it i tested bad 3.99v
So ive been using JMT since the v8 and ive never had a problem before. One night i decided to get the X1 and everything seemed to well..the next day i was chargin my phone and i noticed that the phone was off, the chargitng icon was not showing.
I turned to phone on and it would go halfway the splash screen and then it would go black.. then it would start vibrating the way it vibrates when u turn the phone on and it just does that. I tried doing a battery pull but everything that i put in the battery the phone turns on automaticly.
Ive tried going to recovery but it just wont go in. PC doesnt detect the phone and it looks like theres a 5 second gap before the phone does the same hthing over and over.
I dont know what to do because the phone doesnt let me do anything.No recovery,no nothing.
could somebody help me please?
what can i do!? any other ways to totally erase the whole phone! even if i have to fry the motherboard so i could get a replacement lol! but i dont want to do that tho that would be my last solution
it looks like you may need a jtag to fix the phone, it seems that the X1 may have bricked your phone.
Today pressed the home button to turn screen of as per usual, and went to turn it back on to get into phone, and nothing happened...
ive tried taking the battery out, plugging into power, booting into recovery.
nothing...
it does have custom rom installed (omega 33.2)
help would be grand right about now :/
cheers,
Are you sure it didn't run out of battery ?

As you have no warranty its worth trying a USB recovery jig .

then in october 2013 my s2 again suddenly turned off without any reason
everything was black and again exactly after 48 hours it turned on...
now today my phone is again turned off... and i hope it will again turn on after 48 hours...
can anyone of you plz tell me what type of fault is it????
why this **** is happening with my phone???
plz help me because i think one day my phone will turn off and will never turn on again or it will keep turning off on daily basis
show in service centre
Are u using stock rom? How did that happen in the first place? Maybe some screws need tightening or something.
Gangster89 that's pretty strange.
Did you ever let the phone fall hard on the ground and are the battery contacts still good? What ROM and kernel do you have installed.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
not at all... my phone never fall never contacted with water... first i was on biftor rom v10 but after 1st time issue i changed the rom to stock jelly bean but now my phone is again turned off... it has been 6 days passed and my phone is not turning on except going into download mode only when it is connected to pc usb
thanks for your replies and sorry for my poor english
about 2 months ago i put my phone on charging and i was out for some personel work... after 5 to 6 hours i came back and removed my phone from charging and i logged into facebook app, after 5 to 10 minutes my phone turned off and then it continues till yet
now whenever i connect it to the charger or pc usb i get an empty grey battery icon with 3 seconds intervals... i have tried a fully charged battery of another s2 of my friend but still failed to boot up... my own battery works fine on my friend's s2 that means its not the battery fault
9329638 32
Is the battery the original one that came with the phone?
Do you checked the voltage of the battery?
I recommend you to try with another battery when the phone will die again and see if it can start wiht another battery!
Good luck!
yes bro the battery is original... and i have tried another battery but the results are still same... phone doesn't boot up, its not about battery because my battery works fine in my friend's s2
now here is another thing... when i connected phone to pc in download mode, odin showed up this dialogue box... can any one of you plz translate this?? will be very thankful
