Hi everybody,
I got my Xperia S 3 days ago, updated to .73 the same day.Set up and installing everything apps games...
Today it suddendly switch off and i can't turn it on.I tried to Hard reset it vol up + power button but nothing happen!When i plug it on USB or wall charger the notification LED is fast blinking red(not like when the batteries are empty.I tried to connect it to the PC Companion, the only way to be connected for me is to push booth vol. buttons.The red Led disappear and it go to the next step but pc companion says to me that it must be updated whereas it is.I know that we can unscrew it to remove the batteries but i don't want to lose the warranty.Waiting for any tips.
Interesting...
What I would do as a next step, would be to update the phone, as the PC Companion suggested.
If nothing happened after that, I would return the phone to where I purchased it for refund or replacement.

Did you try the repair function in PC Companion?
It will reflash the firmware.

Yes in fact the phone isn't recognised by PC Companion even trying to put it in flash mode, i'm very disapointed!
I had this too!!
Hello,
I am sorry that you are facing this problem. I am not too sure if you are still experiencing the same. I just want to share what happened when I had the similar problem. It happened to me after I disconnected a call.When I had the similar problem, My device was not even charging. I just decided that may be I need to take my device to nearest service center. Strange, But it seems that this is not new to Sony mobiles.So I had to google it. I think its originally problem with the proximity sensor which does not goes off. Then, I tried pressing the power+volume up button together for 5-7 seconds and Boom, mobile just restarted. Now its working charm now.
If you wish you can give a try as well.
All the best!

Hello,
Yesterday I got my new full case for my Xperia X10i. I changed it myself viewing a tutorial on YouTube. I don't know why, but my phone was stuck in the familiar SE logo boot loop. I read all the possible answers here, tried them all. I went to a software service, they said it's not a software problem. I went to hardware service, they said the hardware is working fine, everything is fine.
I was using Gingerbread version 2.3.3 version on my phone, never changed, never bricked, never nothing "wrong" done to the phone. Now, I've followed every instruction here, tried with PC Companion, SEUS, FlashTool; everything with no luck...
I'm asking you, because I'm amateur, noob, and I don't want to lose my Xperia. What am I supposed to do? What to try?
Oh yes, and when using Flashtool I'm getting the UNROOTABLE tip on one line...
Any ideas, tips or tricks to repair my phone?
Thank you very much!
Edit: The hardware service that said the phone's hardware was fine, said that the last hope for my phone is to do something under the sticker (the sticker under the battery) that needs wired connecting to something... I didn't understand him...
My phone now is without the SE Logo, with just lights on...

I tried with PC Companion, no luck... The battery cannot be charged on the phone so I charged on wall charger... no luck!
It was the display that was the problem with the phone. I got it replaced and now it's working!
Cheers!
I am in need of expert help.
Last night I rebooted my Z2 and it starts normal up until the purple screen with the wave pattern and then it just stays on that screen and wont boot further.
I have not unlocked or flashed any new firmware it's the stock Android 4.4.4 pushed by Sony. I tried an hard reset but still the same, I even let the phone run this screen until the battery was empty but still every boot it sticks at the same screen.
Only way to shut the phone down once this screen appears is power button and volume up. Any ideas how to get it to boot again? Phone is only 3-4 month old to. Maybe get hold of the original firmware from Sony?
Any help greatly appreciated.

this sounds like a hardware issue, try repairing via sony PC companion and if this still fails then contact sony repair centre as this is a fault with the devices hardware casued not by the user.

tried the PC companion but it needs me to start the phone up and enter my simcard nr ;-( it happened after a app hung lastnight and I couldn't close the screen down so i uninstalled it and rebooted and ended up with this.

According to Sony it sounds like a software issue and I should use PC Companion.
Will have to RMA it and wait 3 weeks for it to be returned. Weird never had issues with my Galaxy S3 even & CM11, 4 month old vanilla Z2 bugged out on me ;-(

Seeing how this most likely a software issue you could have easily recovered it using this it doesn't void warranty so you could have saved 3 weeks and the hassle of RMA it back to sony.
Hey all,
My gf has an M4 Aqua.
She has never done anything with it.
No root, no custom roms etc.
Suddenly today phone shut down, Sony logo appeared, blue booting waves and then just pure blue screen.
She did the Software Recovery via Xperia Companion.
It booted normally, she set up everything (although she said it was running very slowly) and while she was just in the home screen it shut down again and did the same thing.
She clicked the red reset button and it booted fine.
Edit: Shut down and blue screen again.
Edit2: After Software Recovery she is on 6.0.1 now.
Edit3: Even when idle it gives the blue screen after some time.
Any ideas why that is happening, how to fix it permanently?
I've seen posts but people said the Software Recovery helped them which is sadly not working for us.
We just need to wait till next month so she can give this one for proper service check.
Is this a hardware issue? I've never encountered a pure blue screen on Sony before.
Cheers, thanks for any help.
Hello friend, i have an xperia m4 aqua dual, same problem than yours, already used xperia conpanion 3 times trying to solve the problem, the cellphone works like a charm for 10min and the problem gets back again, blue screen if i launch some app like facebook and running slooooow, i have read that this is a hardware failure, but don't know what is the ic failure.
Edit: Now i found the problem, the xperia has 2 module of 1gb of ram on the motherboard, when the phone boots (congrats no blue screen) you can go and see how much RAM it haves, it will just show 883mb of total RAM. so... 1 module of RAM is dead.
Edit²: Saw on the xperia forum that sony is pushing an new update on xperia companion, solved the problem of ram and blue screen for some people, i will give i try later today, can be just a software problem.

Hey mate, thanks for the reply!
Will check RAM and try the Xperia Companion again. Gonna update soonish with the results.
It happens alike, ram, blue screen, and in my case at first had problems with the network signal (it was for a while), and the camera (worked sometimes in or out an error log . So YouTube I found this:
Apparently there is a problem with this smartphone after a period of use, and seeking information on the internet apparently called blue screen of death, and happened to the iPhone 5 and even g3 lg, but in this smartphone presents with different symptoms. Unfortunately in my case it is out of warranty two months ago
By the way the new version of PC Companion commenting here will not let me install it, I get a kernel32.dll error in Windows, but the previous version if you install without problems, someone knows what is due?

Thanks for the vid. Good to know it's kind of popular. My gf gives it to service today so we won't check ram etc. But ye this is a bit of a ****ty phone.
These memory problems, speaker broke now this.
I hope they gonna give her a new one.
Also check a statutory warranty (i think that's how it's called) in your country.
Here in Poland apart from the producers warranty we have a warranty from the seller. (its a law)
If seller sells us a product that breaks (no matter if it's producer fault) they need to repair it or exchange for a working one.
This warranty is valid for 2 years.
i updated my xperia m4 , the problem got worse, can't pass the blue screen now, just a constant boot loop of blue screen, i never want a xperia again --'

We did it with Xperia Companion which is the same **** as far as I know.
The phone is sent to service, she'll probably get a new one.
Thanks for the tip though!
Had the same blue screen after installing a incompatible xposed module. But i had not that ram problem. It sometimes booted and sometimes reboot at bluescreen. Re-flashed firmware using newest Flashtool (include "wipe Sin, wipe Misc TA") blue screen was gone.

Hi,
I have a SE Live With Walkman (wt19i). Not rooted nothing modified.
I broke a digitizer and bought a new one. Replaced it and everything went fine.
Well at least to the point when I turned on Bluetooth. Phone immediately turned off and since then is in infinite restart loop. Sometimes I can see desktop for 1-2 seconds max.
I tired SEUS (SUS) but i learned that it is no longer supported. (What a shame).
I also tried PC Companion but well, its about an hour and it is still in "Initializing" state.
So I have a question is there a way to make my phone normal non-restartable again?
Please help me somehow. My knowledge about hacking/rooting/flashing is minimal. And "Buy a new phone is not a solution". Thanks in advance. :angel:
Damn dude just watch my video it shows you how to fix your device by flashing new software with FlashTool
