Can you boot into "Fastboot" mode? (tab off, hold Vol- and connect USB cable, led should turn blue, if not try Vol+ and connect USB cable)
Either way this should check and see if you can communicate a little bit.

I'm using CM12, so I don't know what exactly you have to do (never did that myself) , but I guess:
- Get a ftf-file for your tablet
- Install Sony drivers and Flashtool on your PC
- Flash ftf with Flashtool
Google is your friend have fun

Glad it's working.
Remember, if you can get it into fastboot mode, then chances are you can always flash a system image or an ftf file.

Hello Experts,
This was the best phone I ever owned. It has best in class features (camera, touch, perf ..n ofcourse cost etc.). After the eight month of mighty use i got notification from "SUS" that ICS is now available on your device. Tried Upgrading but in next hour it was showing me touch/hang issues. So reverted back to 2.3* GB.
After a month someone said try manual upgrade of 4.0 using SE flashtool. Tried and result was almost same just that this time it was random.
Again thought of going back to GB. It worked. Used Device for another month without issues. And one night suddenly it went dead. Thought that could be the case of out charge. Did Charge using USB Cable/Power cord method but result was same. It never booted after that.
One day thought of connecting my car charger then it shown "RED" LED indicator. searched on google, someone said battery issue. Tried replacing battery with same model phone which my friend owns. But Result was same.
Finally went to Sony Service Center (Pune, India). They said phone cannot be recovered. I asked them to replace whatever it takes Upto.
Since phone was brought up from import method i couldnt claim warranty.
Sorry for the long email, now question to the experts here
1.) Can this phone recovered? I tried SUS/Flashtool my phone is not getting detected.
2.) Is there any possibility that Motherboard/chips can be replaced to get this phone into functional state.
3.) Anything else can be suggested. (Except buying new phone . i already own Spice CSLMI410)
Can u use ur device in flashmode or fastboot mode?

guess it was sorking anyway, it looks your kernel is fine, so check in flashtool if the device connects not in drivers list
if it doesnt connect, unpack ftf you can see some system,data and so on image files flash them via fastboot(unlock bootloader)
if when you press and hold the volume down button while pluging the usb cable in, green light just lights up, it means there is hope bro :good: I believe after that, you need to go to a folder named something like "x10_libraries" in the flashtool folder and need to find fastboot.exe. oh, at the same time, you should download a kernel suitable for you device which includes cwm recovery and copy that .img file to the same folder from the last sentence. then you should write(in cmd of course) "fastboot flash boot something.img". I believe it'll work, at least no harm to try and I guess this is the last possibility for your beloved xpeia...
Hi, people
I have a Neo V MT11i 4.1.B.0.587, it's rooted and BL Unlocked, i'm trying to flash a <kernel>.img file, but everytime i try to go into fastboot mode (pressing home button, pressing volume + button, entering through flashtool into fastboot...) the blue led appears for just a few seconds and then starts to charge the battery.
Can anyone help me?
Download and install flashtool, or download kernel flasher. I'm using flashtool which is really easy to use.
Switch the phone off.
In kernel flasher, follow the screen instructions.
In flashtool click the ray icon and select fastboot.
With the phone switched off, press menu button and connect it to the computer with the USB cable
On flashtool, you can check the status on the window.
Regards

That's the point, i've already tried that, and every time (was 'bout 15 times) the blue led turned on for few seconds and then it turned off, and started charging the phone, it never stayed in fastboot mode enough time to have the kernel flashed
Any other ideas?

Can you access your phone through adb from your computer?
The only thing I can think of is a problem with the drivers. Which OS do you have?
There some issues with Windows 8.1. I don't have it, so I cannot tell, but look for it on xda. I see references to it

To go to flashmode on flashtool you need to put the firmware on the correct folder. Where have you placed the ftf file?
Do you have unlocked bootloader?
If not, then fastboot is not for you and have option to use Pc Companion to repair your software if the problem is in there.
Did you install flashmod drivers for your phone?
What happen if you connect your phone switched off with hold down the button volume - and connect in the same time usb cabel to the phone?
Did you see green light?

i didnt put it in a specific folder, at the moment its in the download folder.
but the ftf file is loading perfectly, the problem is when it says to connect the phn and doesnt detect it .
i connected the usb holding the vol down button and the red led turned into green, but the pc starts showing usb device not recognised.

no bootloader is locked.
it had the original stock firmware without any modification(not even rooted) before it went dead.
the same thing happens with pc companion it doesnt detect the phn.
and yes the green light turns on.
Like i say before. Don't wait Pc companion to recognise your phone.
Just turn off the phone, charge it good, after that connect with Companion WITHOUT turn on the phone or what you want and continue with the steps.
Doesnt flash mode work even with a locked bootloader?
Maybe you haven't installed USB drivers. Go to local disk C then flash tool and then open drivers and install the drivers for your device.
And then check flash boot again.

Flashmod is for device with locked bootloader and flash on stock files.
Fastboot is for device with unlocked bootloader and for flash on custom / different from stock files.
Fastboot will not do the work after the author has locked buuloader.
Better use Flashtool with flashmode or Sony Pc Companion or Xperia Comapnion, again with flashmod / green light.

It is normal to not recognize the phone after not loaded operating system.
In the video I will share, will also see that there are unknown devices, but this is the menu models to indicate the program right model and proceed to download and install the software.
Just try it, if i understand you.

Have you disabled the driver signature enforcement and then try installing drivers again. And then try to connect your device to Androxyede flashtool in flash mode
How do I do that? Please point me in the right direction?
If you boatloader is locked you can use Sony Companion software to repair your phone. Open the software and go to update. Once the device is not detected a window will pop up asking you to repair the device. Click on that and follow the instructions. All data will be deleted.

Do you have unlocked BL? Have you tried to fix it using pc companion or not?
EDIT There is something called Newflasher. I have used it few times but I don't know if it works with locked bootloader and disabled developer mode because I have a TA backup and unlocked BL. You have to ask on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...gress-newflasher-xperia-command-line-t3619426 and try to do it by yourself. It may get work.

Appreciate your suggestion. I tried PC companion but it can't detect my phone. I've never tried to unlocked BL.
I'll tried with Newflasher as you said.
EDIT: The newflasher can't help. I think the main problem for my phone is that all buttons are not functioning. May be I accidentally did something in developer mode of my phone before it got crashed. (when i connect to charger, screen shows Xperia logo , then a triangular repair sign and finally a green charging battery).

It is hard to diagnose through the internet but we can try to eliminate next causes. So, you can't flash due to turned off USB Debugging or because you cannot enter flash mode? It is important because if you have hardware issue with buttons fixing it may be a solution. I have disassembled my XZ1 and I know that buttons replacement is quite easy for people with some experience and they cost about 5-10$ or 4.5-9.5 euro depending on region. Have you tried safe mode? The most important is that your phone is not dead at all, so there still is a hope.
