phone bricked .....won't charge - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My z2 gets stuck on the sony logo when trying to open it....and won't turn off unless i press the small red button on the side of the charging port....i tried the repair function of pc companion but when i connect the phone the led shows red light indicating an empty battery and pc companion does nothing.....when i plug the charger the red light turns on for a few seconds then turns off then the phone gets stuck on the sony logo with the led light off (not charging?) ... so i think i can't charge it and hence i can't fix it, help me please

Can u enter recovery/bootloader mode?

If you are on stock then try factory resetting your phone through stock recovery.
If the above process didn't work, try to flash stock ftf through flashtool.
And if you are rooted, try clean flashing ROM through custom recovery.

connect the phone to charger for few hours and let it be so that it charges for sometime. then after that press the power button and volume up button for few seconds till it vibrates a few times and connect to flashtool when it asks to connect and flash. if this works let us know. definitely your phone is not bricked if sony logo is coming. dont worry.

when the phone is in the charger all it does is bring up the sony logo which can't be turned off , and there is no orange led light indicating charging , the phone heated after 10 minutes in the charger ....is it charging even though the led isn't turning on ? i fear if i leave it in the charger it might get overheated for nothing

Try the same procedure on win7
(Flashtool may not work on win8 and above)
If you are already on win7 try uninstalling BlueStacks, Youwave, VirtualBox etc (if you have them).
If everything above didn't work, try installing latest essential drivers and latest flashtool.
Unluckily if you still have the same problem then try downloading and flashing ftf from different servers.
Hope you do it well

i guess its charged enough even if its not showing the led light for charging. its never working on the sony logo part of bootup. try connecting it to flashtool like the way i said. and please make sure you have all the drivers installed beforehand. if you had ever run it earlier then all drivers will be present. let us know.
dont worry about windows. i'm using it on win8 without any problem. just take care of drivers.

Thanks guys....i have tried another laptop with installing all the drivers,then i put the phone in the charger for 15 mins , and flashed an ftf through flashtool and it is booting up normally as we speak !

[Q] Help Unbrick - Normal methods don't work

Tried to flash dual touch onto my x10i using flash tool and it said it was successful. When it rebooted, phone was stuck on SE animation. Tried SEUS which saved me last time, but the phone turns on halfway by itself so it wont work. Flashtool doesn't work as well!
Also, the phone keeps turning on by itself until i take the batteries out (Stuck on SE logo). Only when it seems to run out of battery does it start having the red light of death
Phone was on T.E.A.M rom
Help please, what can i do?

When its not successfull with sesus, means ur battery charging is low less than 40..
So use flashtool, get Generic version of 2.3.3 n flash it by taking battery n pressing back button...

Red long led when charging means it's charging, but the battery is still flat.
Leave it for around 2 hours you should see an orange/green led lit.
After having your handset ready for flashing, just pop flashtool up and start restoring.

Flashtool won't read my phone, it just says "Please flash your device in flash mode."
I know the battery was fully charged as well because i used my friends phone, (Also X10).
Still can't access XRecovery as well
Fixed the Phone
I was able to fix the phone. Turned off the phone and took out the SIM card and while the sim card was out, i was able to get the phone to connect to the laptop. Tried PC companion to repair phone but it failed, so i immediately went to Flashtool and flashed the generic rom and it worked YAY
Thanks everyone for all your help

Xperia S brick

Hello everyone, my Xperia S is plug it to the computer and I miss the companion PC firmware upgrade 6.1.A.2.45, for nothing when I plug and starts the update says there is an error and closes. Since then the phone will not start and the red light goes off when I connect. It turns out that if I leave 15 min loading automatically turns on and get the sony logo but stays there. I have 5 minutes to do what I have to do it at 4 or 5 minutes turns off and I have to do the same to try again. My question is that I can do in those 4 or 5 minutes to serve me at least boot or something to so able to flash it and then put it all back. I tried with the off button and the volume UP but goes SONY logo.
PS: I tried to reinstall / repair the firmware with PC companion, SEUS and the FlashTool but when going for half the repair fails me (I guess it's because the battery is not completely full). Is there any way to repair only the kernel or boot sector to see if it can be for that? or I have to completely reinstall the firmware?
Thanks in advance .. and forgive my English I'm from Spain.
Simple, wait until the baterie die, after this charge your xperia and when the bateries is fully charged unplug your charger and plug your xperia in flash mode and flash any firmware from pc, this happened to me and i used this, that probaly will work fine
Sorry nas english too. I am brazilian
Ps: not have any way to bring your cell back to life without flash the full firmware because in this case your firmware is full corrupted

I've already tried, the question is not at 100% load when loading automatically take 10 minutes doing nothing comes on and stays on sony logo ... I can not make it to charge to 100% then flash it.
thanks
Can you boot your devince into fastboot mode? By turning the device off. Then hold the volume up key and plug in the usb cable to your host machine. A blue LED will illuminate.
If you can do that, you should be able to flash your firmware from there. You could possibly try flashing boot.img from FXP136 CM9.1 and installing that on your device. Or you can get unrooted original firmware if thats what you want.

Means you cannot go in fastboot or flashmode or you can go in just for 5min??? That's weird. And dont panic your phone is soft bricked and repairable

Hold the volume up/down buttons, and the power button until you get the three vibes, then plug in your power cord, it should start to charge, once charged you may be able to complete flash.

[Q]Bricked X10 mini ?

OK, my friend gave me this phone because he couldnt repair it. The problem is the phone wont start up, when I plug the charger it shows the sony ericsson logo and the battery level for 1 second (the battery percentage is 0%) and it stucks in a bootloop untill disconnect the device from the charger. I havent tried flashing it with PC Companion or Flashtool because the batterylevel is 0. Also I cant find the battery in this phone. Should I flash the phone and charge it ? Thanks in advance. Just tried to identify with Flashtool it doesnt give any info, even the windows wont detect the phone

When it shows the battery level you can push the power button to let it boot into the ROM. You could try that, but i think the battery is well en truly dead by the sound of it. It is possible to replace it and there is a tutorial in the Accessories section of this forum, but it isn't for the fainthearted.
It's the one design decision SE made with the x10mini that is a royal pain in the you know what... with the x10mini pro you can just pull it out like you would do with any other phone, but in the x10mini it's encapsulated completely which makes it difficult.
It hardly shows the battery level for one second, when I push the power button there it vibrates for a second and it goes as it was, stuck in bootloop.

No harm in flashing it with SEUS or PC Companion then It's not going to make it any worse... But i still think your major problem is the battery.
Nope, Flashtool, Omnius and PC Companion wont detect the phone. As I said the phone the windows itself is not detecting the device

You can repair it with PC Companion, it doesn't need to recognise the phone, it just needs flashmode which you can reach by pressing the back-button before inserting the usb-cable.
Ask PC Companion for an update without the phone connected and it will give you a repair option. Follow the instructions from there.
Nope, no sign of life.The phone wont enter flash mode.

When it asks for flashmode, plug in the usb-cable, press home (middle) and power buttons together to create a hard reboot.. as soon as the screen is completely black, press the back-button.
Still the same thing. I even tried to enter flash mode while I am charging the phone, the same result. The phone only has life while its on charger otherwise its dead. Cant power on, any program cant detect the phone. Will try to make video to explain visually

I see... but flashmode occurs before the kernel is starting to load, so it should be available to you...
Well its not. I even tried on different PC. I have Flashtool, Omnius, SUS, PC Companion etc so I have all drivers I need
Dude! Just charge the battery to full level by using other mimmi or use universal battery charger...I also faced the same problem...and got out of it easily...just charge battery and then ur done....

Sony Xperia P Hard Brick

Hello guys.This is my problem with Xperia P.I tried to update CWM from 6.0.1.2 to 6.0.3.0 in hope that I will get rid of that status error 7 when trying to install CM 11.Ok so what I did:i downloaded an update for CWM in zip format,i transferred the zip files to my xperia p internal storage then disconnected the phone from pc,then I booted the phone In CWM and from there I tried to update CWM by selectin install from zip sd card the zip archive.It said It was succesfull then asked for reboot and that was.After that the phone gone dead,no response from it even when I tried to power it on or to reset it by key combinations nothing worked.Even when I plugged it on charger nothing or in my pc usb.So when this happened my phone was rooted/unlocked bootloader and running latest JB build 6.1.2.A.100.So what I tried so far:i plugged it in wall charger for 6+ hours in hope I will get a life sign from it and nothing.Then I tried to disconnect its battery,i know its non removable but it has a cord attached that can be detached and I did it for about 5 mins.After that I reconnect the battery and plugged it in.Well I got a solid red led on it and I thought oh well it seems it worked but after exactly 15mins the red led goes out and nothing happens after it.At the moment I am writing this the phone already is dead by 24 hrs+.And yea I tried to connect it in flash mode for flashtool but not a sign at all.My pc doesn't detects it.So is there any hope left for my phone?If so please give more solutions.Oh and another thing it seems that after the red light goes off after 15 mins and I unplug it from charger and reconnect it the red led comes again and the process can be repeated.So should I try this way to charge it until it has enough power to do some responses?

if ur bootloader wasn't unlocked use SUS or sony pc suite to recover ur pc .... nd correct title , this isnt hard brick , i think u flashed a kernel from a different device ... if bootloader was unlocked then flash stock ftf using flashtool.. and flashtool works only in windows 7 and below ... making it work in windows 8 is tedious turn off ur phone and then hold volume down button then connect usb cable if green led lights ,that is flashmode

I am running Windows 7 and the bootloader is unlocked.Also I cant use flashtool or any software from pc because the phone it doesn't get detected.But if I plugged it on pc USB it does give a red light for exactly 14 mins then the red led goes off.Also any key pressing or key combinations doesn't help as I don't get any response from phone.So I am really sure its hard brick.Only sign from it is the red led that goes off after 14 mins.
So anymore ideas?Does my phone was hard resetted after I detached the battery for 5 mins and then reattached it?Because before this I didn't got the red led.And also should I try to recharge my phone by pluggin in it in charger wait 14 mins till red led gets off then repeat this process?

And how I am supposed to turn phone off when I get no sign from it when I am pressing volume or power keys.The only sign I get is the red led that after 14 mins goes off.Yea I flashed/updated a wrong CWM for my phone.And how that could screw my phone that bad I don't have any idea.
Just remove the battery chord from the battery (not the charger chord). This means, your phone is in turn off mode. Then reconnect it. Then try those flashmode combinations.
And for any further status 7 issues refer to my guide. Link is in my signature

when red led isnt lit up and ur phone isnt connected to either charger or pc then it means its off ..... then hold only volume down button (u won't get any response right now) then attach usb cable while holding volume down ... green led will definitely light up and then flash stock ftf

Well I removed the bat cord couple of times then reconnect it and tried flasmode comb but the pc still doesn't detects my phone.Only red led I get that goes off after 14 mins.
Bro, then this may be a hard brick. Try some hardbrick procedures. Or take your device to some local shops. They have a flashing device, which flashes stock firmware. Service centres will cost u very much.

its not hard brick ... in hard brick you don't even get to see the red led ..... this is a basic soft brick because he flashed incompatible kernel which failed bootloader test and hence he is getting this red led .... hard brick = phone becomes paperweight with no led or anything working ....... even charging which does in his case ....... he is just unable to turn on flashmode , (typical case with new users), even i also flashed wrong kernel on my xgo (u cannot even remove battery in that) , i just waited for red led to shut down then holding volume down and then plugging in usb i was able to get flashmode

first remove battery cable for 3-5 mins then reconnect it ...... don't touch the power button ... hold the volume button down.. while holding it down insert usb cable .... (give it 2-6 seconds and DONT LEAVE THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON )the led should now turn on and glow green (flashmode enabled , u shud know the rest i think) don't check if pc detecting or not just check LED green or not first

Go to sony center and say that you just turned on the phone after a while and it was like this (and keep ur fingers crossed ) .... Seriously this sometimes works

I don't have anymore warranty left.So I think they will charge me for this.Maybe if I will let the phone more time in charger or with the bat cord detached/unplugged from charger/pc and after that trying again?

if you can try using those "butterfly chargers" , the ones which directly charge battery..... then try this approach cuz flashmode needs 30% battery minimum to run , 75% is recommended

Xperia P wont boot and if cable is plugged and it doesnt even charge

Hello to all!!!
I have a problem with my XPERIA P(not rooted or unlocked), it wont boot if the cable is on the phone(pc or wall charger) and doesent even charge. When tryong to boot it shows only the SONY logo, not even xperia(which comes right after sony).
Tried getting into flash mode or fastboot mode, but it is the same thing.
If i switch on my phone with no cable plugged it starts normally.
When this happened i had no battery at all. After searching the web i found a guide to open my phone and remove the battery connector. After removing it and plugging back again it started charging. Now it wont charge anymore that way.
EDIT: Mac wont recognize it anymore(mac bridge, flashtool, adb)
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks!

Try flashing the phone with stock ftf file via flash tool , you can find plenty of how to videos for that on internet . Your phone will be fine I guess
Search "Your phone model " "version" "stock ftf" download and flash it
Hit thanks if helped

The problem is my phone wont stay in flash mode. It shows up the green led just for a sec and then tries too boot up normaly(green led turns red and shows sony logo) then it shuts down again...
Same for fastboot mode (blue led for 1 sec then again red).
Any idea?
Thanx in advance
@aserreqi
The disconnection issue is driver related. Use windows 7/xp (friends computer) install flashtool and then install the driver pack located in it. Then flash stock ftf.
Before this charge your phone overnight.

I tried with windows 7(sus, flashtool, pc companion) and osx (sony bridge for mac and flashtool) with no results.
I will try again with windows if can get to charge it any more, because now it is not giving any sign of life
Thanx

I had similar kind of issue , phones doesnt stay in flash mode when it should but I managed to get into fastboot mode , IT DID STAY THERE for me and I flashed some other kernel to make it work for few mins as I only wanted flashmode to work which it did . Try charging your phone for 2 hours and grab any kernel which is said to be fine with your phone , either ways you only need flashmode to work. If fastboot is also disconecting even after you have charged your phone umm DRIVERS DRIVERS !
Make sure you have all the drivers installed I always use flashtool, nothing else to flash

I have charged my phone now for 3 hours. The only way i get to charge now is discharging the battery to 0. I have to put it on charge(wall charger) pull off the connector of the battery and then put it again on.
If the phone is a little charged and i turn it on it wont charge any more. No charger or pc works.
I tried again the procedure of getting into fastboot or flash mode, but still nothing happens.
Green or blue led for a sec then tries to boot again.
I forgot to mention that the phone works like normal when not in charge, it boots normally and everything works fine...
P.S. the drivers are installed. I installed them again and again.
Thanx for your help anyway!!

Good luck ,btw I dint understand PHONE WORKS NORMAL WHEN NOT IN CHARGE ? how is that possible

I hope u didnt fry your phone charging ic like i did on mine. Using fake charger and short hv burst suddenly turn my phone exactly like yours. I somehow managed to recover from it temporarily by shorting usb wire while charging it and eventually the phone die. Haha lol.

This is not the same problem.
First try volume up + power for about 15 seconds untill you feel (1+) 3 vibrations to turn it off.
Then try flashmode.
