maybe you messed up with kernels or done smth wrong.

Hello,
I've got the same kind of problem while trying to flash another rom. It's impossible to turn it on, to go to recovery, or even to connect in fastboot mode.
The only live sign I got is went I press up + power for a few sec the LED flash once in white, then if I keep pressed it flashed quickly 2-3 times then nothing.
Any chance to save my tablet ?
EDIT: ok I've managed to get back in flashmode by pressing up and power while plugin the cable. It took a few try before it work. Now I've followed the tutorial linked above and it seams to work fine.
Sorry for my hurry post, but now it might help some other. Good luck !

Won't go into flash mode

Okay I've tried everything, full charge on batt, pull batt out and replace while holding back, still it won't go into flash mode. I have debugging clicked. Any ideas?
Update your flashtool, let it prepare your flash and follow the steps it tells u to (turn off phone and connect the usb cable while holding back). No need to reinsert the battery anymore, that's outdated P:

Got Flash Tool 0.2.8 installed and tried again, still nothing. The green light comes on like normal then goes out. After that the screen comes on with the SE. The light turns yellow and the charge batt symbol shows on the screen.
I'm a little more confident in trting to clean my phone so I'd like to get it to flash mode. I have flashed Generic 2.1 so I know it did work.
Are there any settings that might have changed?
EDIT: Alright it works with SEUS. I guess I haven't been holding the back key long enough. I'll give it another try.
EDIT 2: Well still nothing. Acts the same as described above with both 0.2.6 and 0.2.8. Any ideas???

Iv'e been having the same problem with my X10,can't boot into Flash Mode. Did you ever fix the problem with yours? If so what was the fix? I could use some help. Thanks
Had your issue today itself but i fixed it by doing the following i pulled battery out and was already holding the back button when i saw the picture whit the instructions on how to connect i took out my phone before it boots up and reinserted while holding back button it worked

Tried your method but had no success. Nothing seems to be working to get to flashmode.
I'm just now experiencing this as well. I notice too that I can't get my phone to go into usb development mode, or mount USB like normal either. Has anyone found a way to recover from this? Normally flashing is the solution, but I'm unable to get into flash mode!

If anyone is still looking for a solution to this mine was pretty stupid, but I'll share anyway in case it helps. Windows update had apparently been doing some things I didn't know about, which messed up my USB drivers in a weird, half-functional way. When I rebooted and the updates completed, I was able to get back in. Once again, turning everything off and back on fixed my problems...

[Q] Tablet Z half-bricked or bricked?

Hey all!
After successfully unlocking the bootloader, tried to flash rootedkernel thru adb but something went wrong
and the tablet became ly a paperweight with no lights screen or buttons working.
Let it idle for one night and then charged for a few hours.
Now when I pres power there are three led flashes.
Nothing else apparently happens. Can't get it to flash or fasittboot mode.
It is like this for the last 48 hours. I can only see three continuous red flashes.
When I put it on charge there is continuous red led light.
But now I want the battery to loose all power and to reflash. When connected to PC it is seen as generic USB devicee.
Any ideas? Would be greatful
Have you tried holding volume + and power button, you should see one white flash keep holding and you should see three more flashes. If that worked you may be able to get into flash mode.

Is yours a WiFi only model? If so, you probably flashed a wrong boot.img. (and there's a solution!)

It's an LTE model. After bringing it back the first thing to do was to easily root it by installing DoomLords CWM (Thnanks DoomLord)

Can you possibly elaborate on what you have done here? My tablet is in much the same state as you described... How did you get into flash mode, how did you know once it was there, and what is "Emma"? I'd appreciate any clear directions you could offer!

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!

Bricked Xperia Z tablet

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

Yes it does. I mentioned the penguin specifically:
Seeing the penguin is normal. I have managed to fix the issues I have and I am running a custom ROM by Cuoco92, all thanks to the help I got from @simidisc.
I will assume that you have installed all appropriate USB drivers.
1. Visit http://bit.ly/1Q6irPH and download SEZIONE FIRMWARE and SEZIONE RECOVERY. Don't worry about this being in Italian - I don't speak Italian and managed no problem.
2. Copy the zip file from Sezione Firmware to your phone.
3. Unzip the the recovery file on your computer and connect your phone to your computer.
4. After unzipping TWRP, run "Install Over Fastboot".
5. Your phone will reboot and you will see THE PENGUIN. Just press VOLUME UP + POWER at the same time and your phone will reboot to TWRP.
6. You should now be able to flash the ROM, making sure to wipe cache, dalvik etc.

I am having the same problem.
The penguin comes on then no matter what I do, it either just reboots (if I keep holding power down) and continues to do this for ever, or boots into the LeEco recovery, if I press volume up and power, or just boots into EUI rom if I do nothing.
Any suggestions?
