[Q] Please help lollipop broke my tablet what do I do! - Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

please help my tablet doesnt do anything.
I've had this tablet for less then a month...my case hasnt even arrived in the mail yet. I just tried to update to lollipop this morning and now it wont turn on.
Heres what happened:
During the update the pc companion app mentions in step 1 that it may turn off on its own. it did.
Step two said to follow the instructions on screen which were to unplug, turn off device, hold volume down while plugging in, dont touch...
well...it never turned back on from step 1, but the rest i followed. i waited for like 10 minutes but the pc companion app never recognized my device. finally theres a button the screen for trouble shooting
In there it says to hold power and volume down to turn off tablet. I did that.....now....the tablet does NOTHING
-I cant get it to light up when i plug it into power
-I cant get it to turn on when i hold power
-I cant get the blue light for fastboot when holding power and volume up
-The device is dead cold and NOTHING i do gets any reaction.
On official xperia forum a mod told me to hold power and volume up for 10 seconds (i assume i he means to do the fastboot thing) then use the companion app to fix it.
that does nothing, my computer doesnt see the tablet and the pc companion app gets stuck in a "please wait..." menu...still awaiting a response from him/her
Specifics:
I have the International edition, black (which has no warranty luck me...)
SGP611
Not rooted
Bootloader not unlocked (i wanted to unlock it but the fastboot drivers posted on their site dont work)
debug mode was not on when i started this (PC companion doesnt see the tablet in debug mode)
my PC is running windows 8.1 Pro x64
I'm seriously close to breaking into tears, if anyone out knows what to do please PLEASE help me

Try hard reset, hold power and up button simultaneously until you feel 3 vibrations, turn it on and charge it after that.

[Q] Help Bricked xperia x10 mini on Logo screen i dont know what to do :(

hi can someone please help i tried to flash my xperia x10 mini and failed badly and now when i turn on my phone the logo screen comes up and then just stays on... ive left it for about 20 minutes but still nothing its like its bricked on the logo screen i can restart it but it just does the same again. Ive also tried taking the battery out putting it back in then using the update service to lock it in flash mode while i use binarys flash kit but that doesnt work either. Also the update service just says no software update is available it thinks i already have the latest one please help i will be truely greatful x
Edit :
Ive already tried SEUS, PC Companion, Binary's Flash Kit.
Ive already tried connecting it to the adb but cant get adb to recognise a connected device and all the drivers are installed.
i guess you have, but i've to ask, have you tried the repair option in SEUS/PC Companion?
yeh i have seus says i already have the latest software version installed and pc companion actually wants me to load my phone up to connect it :/ any ideas? x
me too!!
i had the same problem with you...
how to get shutdown this phone?
phone must be shutdown when i want to flashing from SEUS..
and i don't know how to shutdown this phone because the battery....
edit : just connect your phone and use restart (hold power button & middle button)
after reboot, press back button and you will connect with SEUS...
but, my phone already get latest update...and i can't flashing from SEUS...
sob..
ive been shutting down the phone by taking the back off and unscrewing the inside cover. Then you will see the battery cable where you can simply unplug it from the motherboard and then reinsert it.
Edit: I also have connected to SEUS but it says i already have the latest software
Ive taken it to a local phone repairs shop ive given up... they said it'll be fresh and working by tomorrow morning it cost me £20 but its just one of those things en it :/
hey guys
all you need is to follow the instructions on SEUS,
when it tells you that you have the latest software press repair.
and when it say that you should turn off your phone and then reconnect it while pressing the back buttom do the following:
1- connenct the phone to the computer
2- press the 3 buttoms (power + mid buttom + back buttom) then as your phone restarts and vibrate remove your fingers from the power and mid buttoms but maintain pressing on the vack buttom
i hope this will help

[Q][SOLA] Bricked after root

Dear all,
can anyone help me...??
i try to root my xperia sola [GB], root processing ok, but when reboot my sola didn't turn on
i try to force reboot still same, there are no sign of life,no vibrate, no LED indicator, and cannot charge,
when plug to pc via USB only red led turn on, try to re flash using flashtool didn't work, my device can't enter fastboot or flashmode
PCC also didn't detect my device,
please help me to revive my sola ???
Hi,
Did you try to root your phone using the adb restore method? If so then you screwed your phone because this method is for ICS, not for GB.
Try this:
Shut down completely your phone (in case you haven't already). To do that you must press and hold volume up and power button until the phone vibrates 3 times (approximately 5 sec).
Then check if you can enter fastboot or flashmode by pressing the appropriate volume button along with the power button. You should see a green or purple led.
If so then use SEUS (not PCC) or flashtool and flash the ICS firmware.
Then root your phone with bin4ry's method. There are a lot of threads to help you on that, use search.
If the above method wont work then you probably need to go to a service center to unbrick your phone.
Hope that helps

if you know someone with a sola use there phone to charge your battery
and taking out the battery shuts the phone down quite effectively so..
This may or may not help...
but this once happened with a previous Xperia phone of mine. I left it plugged into the wall for several hours (trying to turn it on repeatedly killed the battery I suspect) and then tried, I got the LED, from there you can use flashtool. Please try this. Also Sony Update Service? Repair option.
Plugging into the wall so long and see. Seems battery is the first you must get through.
GB with locked bl cannot be rooted.

[Sola] Cyanogenmod 9 bricked my sola?

I've tried to install Cyanogenmod 9 on my Xperia Sola, I've unlocked bootloader official way, flashed kernel from this forum specialy made for sola (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28957468&postcount=412 This One), then boot.img of cyanogenmod 9 (FXP203) and...
When I want to do anything with phone, it just flashes my red led. I mean, that led is still on, when I press Power it just turn off. And when I try to connect my phone in fastboot mode, It don't react at all. Can I already throw it away through window?
I put it under a charger to see if it's just off energy, but i've noticed, that after a while, red led just turns off and that's all.
My god, help me or I'll be back on Nokia 3310
You've used the S kernel, not the Sola.
Download the FXP for Sola (Pepper) here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876929
Flash boot.img via fastboot. To get in, hold vol up + power. Wait for 3 vibrations.
Hold vol up. Then jam the USB cable in. You should be in fastboot.
Alternatively, flash the stock sola ftf via flashboot.
Problem is, my phone does not react, it does not vibrate, just that red led is on or off. Nothing else. I've tried all of those combinations. I can't get to fastboot mode or anything else.

Happened to me (I use Xperia GO). What I did is (as mentioned above) - Hold the power button and Volume Up button for sometime (it vibrates once after a few seconds, do not leave the buttons - continue to do so and after a few more seconds until 3 vibrations) and then the phone switches off. Now, hold the Volume Up button and plug in the USB cable - you'd be able to get in the fastboot mode. Flash a stock kernal and that should help.
If your phone is completely down (no charge at all), then above won't help. Plugin the charger and and wait for a few mins (before the red light goes off - you should now have a good knowledge on when the light goes off!) and try then try the above step. Once the 3 vibration comes, remove the charger and go ahead with the flash mode.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
B.
Edit: By the way, I had my SIM Card and Memory card inserted in the phone when the phone was completely down without any charge. I don't know how, but it makes a difference with you try so (atleast in my case) with them.
If it does not vibrate, then it's a hard brick =\ You need the phone to be at least partially responsive to get into fastboot/flashboot.
Keep holding down. It should vibrate after 25 seconds or so.
Otherwise, you have to bring it to Sony and tell them their phone died on you.
Right now It dosen't even blink with Led. It's totaly down. I cant lock fbootloader, so I'm doomned. Hope that won't cost much...
Install Sony Update Service (SUS) and try to recover your phone from there.
Last shot here, but here's to hoping that the PC at least detects your phone.
Otherwise.... Yeah =\
If you unlocked your bootloader Pc companion will be useless for you cause it will not detect your phone,.,,
i think other way is to flash the stock ftf for you device using flashtool.... that wuld be the best shot for you...
please respond if this fix your problem
No, SUS will detect, but will refuse to flash. It will say "Phone has been modified".
Need to see whether it's a hard brick. If even SUS does not recognise, then bring it to Sony =\
None of the above works. It's just dead and sometimes flashes red light. PC Companion says that there's no phone connected. Hope I will be able to gain a varranty or I'll be on Nokia 3310. But I'm not verry cheerful about that...
Flashtool does not react when I plug in my phone in fastboot or flash.
Hey bro,
Its highly unlikely for hardbrick to happen to Sony phones by flashing a differnt Kernel when Flashtool is there Pretty sure that it ought to work, follow the steps below (Note that the order of usb cable connection is the most important thing as doing it wrong will not allow Flashtool to connect to the phone when its bricked ! )
First, try plugging it in to charger for a while to ensure that there's some charge. Follow up with the Vol and power Button to make sure its turned off. Then after that follow this procedure *exactly*
1) Prepare Flashtool and select the FTF. (Flashmode )
2) When flashtool asks yo to connect the phone, connect the USB cable to PC
3) Then, holding down ONLY the Vol Down button (No Power button, Note that ) connect the phone to the USB cable and in a few seconds, Flashtool will start flashing
I know you tried many variations but missing out on one or the other detail during your previous tries might have caused the lack of success Just try it and let us know what happens
Best of luck and hope you dont have to go to Nokia World !
Cheers
Nope, it's still not working. It just dosent detect phone. I'm pluging in, holding only volume key and I'm waiting 5 minutes - nothing happend.
Nokia 5530 for now, but come one...
Hi,
I am currently having the same problem (I have bricked my sola by flashing with fxp boot.img). After digging the internet I found out that you can start fastboot by:
1. holding all 3 buttons (power on, volume +, volume -)
2. the phone will vibrate
3. the phone will vibrate 3 times
4. release the buttons
5. hold the volume + button and plug in the cable
6. you should be in fastboot now (blue light on)
If fastboot does not work then do 1-4 3x. Good luck! Hopefully we will unbrick our phones

Lol things u get on the internet!!!
First there is no such key combination to start fastboot k so just dun break ur buttons in an attempt to start it ...
Steps 1,2&3 are steps to get ur device force restart and force shutdown and let me tell you one thing
step 1 is wrong it power button and volume + button. That's it first the phone will vibrate once for force restart and if u keep pressing it will bypass over to force shutdown which is indicated by 3 vibrations..

could work
I have a Xperia U and triying to port JB to it I briked two or three times.
I hold power botom and it vibrate and doesnt happen anything ok.?¿
The possible solution could be this(for my works)
Charge the phone like 1 hour for my doesnt charge with the animation but its for security.
With the nest steps you are going to lose all CWM and tweaks and apks but personal data still there.
You have two options:
Flash a new rom with flashtool, but when you pluged with volum - you hold it for allmost all process becose for my i conect to PC and its goes quikly so i cant do annything.
If the phone is not recognised by Flashtool:
You have to repair it with PC Companion or Bridge for Mac, and also the same hold volum - almost all process.
For my it works, tell my if for you works:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
Hi,
it worked !
after doing the steps I have posted earlier I managed to flash my xperia sola with the right boot.img (the one from fxp pepper) and install fxp via CWM. Should work for you too.
One tip: you have to remove the assert from fxp installation script.
Br,
Wermesz
@op, your battery is dead and isn't accepting any external charge. Try replacing your battery with a charged one. That is if sola supports user replaceable batteries.

Are you sure u can't put it in to flash mode, because that's the first thing I would do
Try putting it into fast boot mode
Hold volume up button and keep holding it and connect it to the pc
If you see blue light on your tablet, it means it has successfully entered fast boot mode
Make sure all the drivers are installed
Or
Follow the following procedures
Install Sony Ericsson flash tool and install all the drivers
Hold volume down button and keep holding it and connect it to pc
Once you hear the connecting sound our Any notification on your pc saying that it is connected, go ahead and flash the ftf file

in my opinion, the drivers are not correctly installed
http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/drivers/xperia-tablet-z-sgp311-sgp312-driver/
go to the website and download and load the drivers on your pc
its just weird that it says device connected with Usb debugging off when it is actually powered off
try charging your device, maybe the battery needs to be charged leave it there for atleast 30 mins then try the steps
let us know if you fixed it or not

I have a similar problem, I've flashed plenty of devices before, never briked a thing.
By unloking the bootloader the data partition of my brand new tablet Z went corrupted. I've tried to flash several firmware but none was succesfull (couldn't format data...), and finally it get totally bricked! no light, nothing... I was not even able to put it in flash mode (no light ever!).
I've tried after a while, I've read with some other Xperia devices, it would be possible to recover it after some time, by letting the battery die, then use some rubber trick to keep vol- pressed... you can find it in XDA forums what I'm talking about. However after a month my tablet was still dead. no light, no nothing!
I've sent it to warranty and the just said that "an alternative firmware was flashed" (voiding the warranty) "and has rendered the logic board unusable".... and they have to order a new unit!!
I feel so surprise that even the cheapest chinese tablet have an harware mode that allow to reflash and resuscitate it back to factory... even if the firmware is completely screwed, and a 600$ tablet for a simple bootloader unlock got totaly bricked.
I wonder if there is an "hardware" way to recover the tablet (I saw it's pretty easy to tear down the Xperia tablet Z), by directly accessing the NAND... or by accessing some PIN (well I know sony would have not leaked such information)

I think I might have destroyed my Xperia XA1 Plus [G3421]

So I wanted to try the new android Oreo ROM for Xperia XA1 Plus but my version of software did not support the update (I think the original carrier has not yet released the update - I bought the phone from someone else so I'm unsure about the limits the original carrier has imposed).
Because Xperia Companion has not detected any possible updates I have decided to go with FlashTool. I have been using FlashTool with countless Xperia devices and It has never let me down.
Sadly, I think (or I'm sure) I have flashed a wrong rom - for G3423 instead G3421.
Let me describe the flashing process (after unlocking bootloader with "fastboot oem unlock"):
1. I have charged the phone to around 60% and plugged it into the PC. It was sitting in the TWRP recovery I have flashed before for 2-3 hours but It was connected all the time so I don't think that the battery percentage could've dropped.
2. I have downloaded ROM for G3423 with XperiFirm, the ROM description:
G3423_Customized GEL_1310-9253_48.1.A.0.116_R1B
3. I have switched the phone to flashmode (vol down + connected to PC) and flashed using FlashTool. Also I should mention that I am using Linux so no driver problems ever occured during the whole flashing process.
4. The flash went smoothly and FlashTool told me to disconnect and turn the phone on.
So after disconnecting the phone I have been trying to turn it on several times, but the power button just wouldn't react at all - no vibrations, blinking diodes etc.
When the phone Is connected to a charger or PC, a red diode shines constantly but nothing happens. Both adb devices and fastboot devices do not list the device.
I have tried several things to bring the phone back to life:
-holding power + vol up/vol down/both vols, and waiting for vibrations - no effect
-charging the phone for over 30 hours non-stop - the red led is still shining
-leaving the phone with two rubber bands on it - one holding volume button, the second one holding power overnight
-running FlashTool and preparing to flash, leaving rubber band on the vol down button and connecting the phone to PC overnight
-repairing with Xperia Companion - phone is not detected
None of the above had any effect on the phone, It is still dead.
Is there anything I can do to bring it back to life except sending it to sony support (and I do not even expect sony support to help me right now, after all I have tampered with the device)?
If It is required I have the required knowledge to open the back cover and disconnect the battery but maybe It is still possible to somehow fix the device without opening it?
I think that opening the back cover and disconnecting the battery cable for some time could help but I am not sure.
Did You tried with Sony PC Companion ?
https://support.sonymobile.com/gb/xperia-companion/#gref
I did but I think it will not detect my phone If it cannot enter flashmode/fastboot mode and has an unlocked bootloader.
Companion wants me to press vol down button and connect it to the PC and as I said vol down + power doesn't work

It happens to me on Xperia Z2 (old phone) i want my Z2 4.1 to 4.4, i kill my own phone by my mistakes when my phone turned back on i see red light 3 time, sorry can't remember anything.
because flash nand get corrupted.
you must read the instructions carefully, before you flash.
Don't go sony support or take sony shop because Is Too expensive to fix the motherboard and your phone is void the warranty by flash unofficial rom or tools
I am sorry for your phone :crying:
