I've successfully unlocked the bootloader, and while installing different firmware version for the root, flashmode suddenly disconnected, resulting in interrupted installation. And right now, I cannot enter neither into Fastboot or Flashmode. Plugged in device just has red light regardless of any button combination. Flashtool recognizes the device ID but I cannot proceed anywhere either. PC has all the drivers, however Flashtool does not detect fastboot/adb interface drivers. Ideas?
I had same issue with my 3111 And couldn't find any solution. I ve sent to service I hope it won't cost me too much.
I'm regret of unlock my bootloader... hope you can find a solution

Try to hold "vol+" and "power" for 8-9sec and release, hold "vol-" and plug USB. Or try to plug USB, hold "vol-" for one minute. The led is green if OK to flash.

Sadly that did nothing. Is there a way to somehow return fastboot/flashmode to the phone? Or my best course of action is replacing the motherboard or something.

This is the way to go in flashmode...
Are you sure your battery level is good? A bootloop can drain the battery quickly (you can't see the bootloop on the screen but it is here) I bricked my phone many times with bad kernels and boot and it always revive. You are not the first who bricked his device, I will make a video to show and explain how to unbrick XA (same for Ultra) after a bad boot.img flash but not before the next week.

I'd gladly unbrick it myself if only I could get into fastboot/flashmode. Which is gone. Thats the problem here.
I've also considered the battery being dead from invisible bootloops (which is consistent with the phone not turning on at all), but leaving it charge for a couple of hours did not let me access fastboot/flashmode either.

Happen the same to my, but I didn't unlock bootloader, just flash a Generic Firmware.
Flashtool "finish" correctly, but when I disconnect the USB and try to Power On device, Nothing happen, PC recognice USB but no driver installed, Red Led and nothing more.
Send to Service, they have to give me a new One, No fix for that :crying:

I've sent mine to the first repair store who knew what I was talking about regarding the phone problem. The repair will cost 35eu. I have no idea what they said they're going to do, but I guess a new system will be sideloaded from inside the hardware or something.
EDIT: Aaand repair store declared it dead. Getting a new one, **** this.

I am not sure how i managed to do this,does when i was trying to unlock my boot loader with the test point method using s1tool or when i press the Repair TA button on Octopus SE Suite.Since then i can not enter in flash mode on my wt19i.It just shows the Sony logo and starts charging.Before this i was able to flash it normally.I`ve tried every possible flashing tool but all of them are asking me to enter the flash mode manually. (Unplug cable, power off, press and hold Volume down key and insert the usb cable).Where could be the problem?I have read many treads but i couldn`t managed to find a solution.Please help.Thanks.
Have you installed the drivers provided in flashtool?
And install pc companion to get drivers, too!

Yes they are installed.Here is an image where i can see that the ADB drivers are installed.(Highlighted area).
I`ve tried this also.I know that i must hold only the volume down key wile inserting the cable.I`ve done this few times few weeks ago.But something is messed up and i think its when i was trying the testpoint method using the s1tool.Is there any option in s1tool for reseting the phone to its original state?
Come on guys, no one had this problem before?Is it software or hardware related?
Update...
Is it possible that somehow buy upgrading to 4.0.4, key combination for entering in flash mode is changed?

And you turn your phone off and after that you hold volume down and connect while holding volume down to pc and there's no green light? Is it orange or what happens?
EDIT:: Just found this thread, and there's same problem solved. But you will need the original WT19i_35850804005723_11-02-2012_20-51-48.TA file and I don't know where to download it. Maybe contact ramezzidane (in the thread) and ask him where he found the .ta file or if he could upload it for you, because it seams that Octopus SE Suite has overwritten some things like fastboot mode etc. Hope it'll help you

When i get the prompt from flash tool i:
Unplug the phone
Turn off
hold down the volume - key
plug the usb cable to the phone
No color light at this point
On the phone appears the Sony logo
i hear a sound like new device plugged on the pc (No driver installation window on the taskbar)
The light goes orange and battery icon appears on the screen showing that is charging
That`s all.
Is there any method other than with Octopus Suite for rewriting TA?

No.My bootloader is locked.
dude it may be driver problem
do one thing
go to device manager in windows 7
in bottom most u see "universal serial bus controllers"
expand the menu and uninstall all usb drivers(option in right click)
restart ur pc and now try to connect again
Have you tested your volume down key on Android? Maybe it doesnt work since you tried to unlock your phone...
In addition, i would try in another computer, installing drivers from the beginning.

You could try to flash the content of the ftf manually, but that's dangerous, cause if it doesn't work your device is bricked and you can't enter flashmode anymore to flash stock firmware.
And you can't repair via pc companion, cause you can't enter flashmode to flash the firmware again and you can't repair using sony update service, cause it's the same?
If you're sure it isn't a driver problem (install flashtool drivers and pc companion and restart pc) it should be only solved with flashing the ta, but that can only be done in flashmode and you can't enter it, right?
So is your device rooted, then unroot (if possible) and bring it to service center. They should repair it, but I can't promise. Tell them (cause flashing with flashtool voids warranty), that you had a problem and you wanted to repair using pc companion and you couldn't because you can't enter flashmode. That's the only method I think, except from writing the ta again. But don't know if they would repair it for free or if they can solve the problem...
Maybe we can find another solution for your problem
My phone was network locked few hours ago. I was trying the test point method again and now its locked totally.It is not accepting any sim cards.I read a post here on the forum where the guy was explaining this procedure so at the end he managed to fix the flashmode.But as he stated the phone will remain network locked.For that he mentioned the setool method for network unlocking.For me went bad.Now my phone is network locked and the key combination still doesn`t work.So now can you give me the cheapest way to unlock my phone first and then go back to my first problem.Is there any chance to get it unlocked by the IMEI number?All of the keys on the phone are working very well but i still can`t enter in flash mode.I tried flashing on another computer with fresh windows installation but it`s same.It`s not driver related i am sure.Ether is wrong key combination or is that TA thing.Thanks to all of you guys for your efforts, but i must find a way to fix these problems.
Update...
Ok Guys.I`ve take the phone to a local repair service and they`ve managed to fully unlock it.It cost me 10 eur for that.Now on the bootloader status in the service menu says "Yes" instead earlier when it was "No".But i still have the Flashmode problem.I hold the Vol - key while plugin in the cable and the phone just starts charging with a orange light indicator.Where could be the problem i really don`t understand?Any idea?
I think the problem is the ta. Octopus may have overwritten some functions like flashmode. But I don't know exactly if it works to rewrite ta...
And what should i do next now?The newest i've noticed is that my GPS is not working anymore.I think that it's the ICS version but i am not able to reflash it.Comon is there no one that had this problem?
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
The guy from the mobile repair store told me that when i was doing the test point method i`ve broken something in the JBS or JVS.I didn`t understand him very well.And he told me that he somehow managed to unlock my phone but about the flashing problem he said that i will never may flash the phone again.Is this ok or?
I'll try to update and clean up here in order to clearly show what's been done already.
Not sure if my Xperia Mini can be brought back to life. Any help is appreciated. I already read through a ton of threads with bricked phones, but none of these cases seems to be similar to mine. However, I doubt that my case is unique in any way, so I hope there are some guys out there who can bring me on the right track.
How it happened:
Phone was running smoothly.
Put it on the charger at night (phone was on).
In the morning, phone was off and I couldn't turn it on again.
The symptoms:
Power on button has no effect at all (not even vibrate, as it used to do before)
While connected to PC, the hardware manager shows the "ZEUS Fash Device"
The Flashtool (version 0.9.10.1) says device disconnected
Phone does't go into flashmode (VOL down + USB connect)
The phone:
Xperia Mini
Bootloader unlocked (testpoint method)
ROM: FXP208-cm-10-20130223-UNOFFICIAL-smultron
OC: used max. 1.5 GHz for a couple of minutes in total, but did not OC for the last weeks
What I already checked:
Battery: I checked the battery, it is OK. I have a second ST15i and the battery is fully charged and working with the other phone.
The charger is also OK. Also checked with the other phone.
While connected to the charger with removed battery, the battery connector pins (see attached picture) give me 3.5 V or something.
Turn on with no SIM card and no SD card: Same result - nothing.
Enter flashmode (VOL down + USB connect): Does not work.
Reinstall Flashtool and PC companion: That didn't change anything.
S1tool - identify: Tried "identify" method on phone: no result.
S1tool - patch: Tried to repeat the bootloader unlocking procedure. This works until the point where the unlocking actually should happen, but then it says something like "S1 header not found". Not sure however, if this is usual behaviour because the bootloader was already unlocked.
Tried to use PC companion: Phone not recognized.
(Re-)installed drivers from flashtool -> drivers: No change.
What else I could do:
Connect to a different PC: Don't think this will help, but I might give it a try.
Try to esteblish an ADB connection: I don't know much about that, but wouldn't that require the phone to be running in the first place?
Buy a new phone
Any suggestions?
Any help how to solve this is still appreciated.
one more thing...
Forgot to mention that I can't bring the phone into flashmode (VOL down + USB connect).
... will be able to try more in a couple of hours.
Re: [Q] Bricked? How to reanimate the Mini?
Take its battery out and leave it for sometime. Then keep it on charge for 8-10 hours and see if any led light shows up. Then try to boot up without sim and sdcard.
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,
AJ
Dont miss the ICON FARM!
Battery is OK. I tried the battery on another Mini.
I also tried, without success:
Left without battery for a while (5 min).
Tried to turn it on with no Sd card and no SIM card.
Any other suggestions, anybody?
I didn't find any thread with a similar problem, but maybe I just can't use the search properly...

Take out battery, wait 10 seconds, reinsert battery, press volume down and while holding just connect via usb to pc. Don't press anything else, just volume down and connect. Now you are in flashmode, so try to reflash stock ftf. If you can't enter flashmode, I don't know what to do
Problem is, the phone does not go into flashmode (volume down + usb connect).
However, it is recognized by Windows as "ZEUS Fash Device".
Is there any alternative way to get into flashmode?
Since windows recognizes the phone as "ZEUS Fash Device", I guess there must be some way this can be used. It just freaks me out to see the phone in Windows but it does nothing. It' like a coma or something.

Repair using pc companion
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
I Really Pray That I am wrong
I suspect that during charge the phone was overvolted as it was first used after overclocking.
The device is identified as Zeus device cause it was unlocked using testpoint
so what u can do is to pray that ur CPU was not overvolted
hi. I have similar problem.
it's just that pc doesn't detect it completely. I can't put it into flashmode and pc companion and SEUS won't detect my phone. I tried everything people suggesting but not a single thing works for me. is there anyway to force flash using pc companion or should I throw it away :|
Have you installed the drivers from flashtool -> drivers folder? All drivers for all modes/devices?
Never mind read your question wrong

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.

- Install Sony drivers and Flashtool on your PC
- Flash ftf with Flashtool

Hi there peeps!
My Xperia Z2 has gone into a bootloop, with no recovery, no boot logo, not registering ADB / fastboot drivers anymore.. BUT.. the buttons seems to work, so i may reboot it some different ways. The only indication of life it got, is the red light when booting.
Someone want to tag team with me to find the solution?
Donation will be gived to a working solution
Best regards!
There is no solution for this atm. The best way to fix it is to send it to the service center.

I may have a solution. Red light usually means it cannot boot the kernel.
I have a simple fix. Follow this guide and make sure to download the firmware of your exact model and current software version number.
When you get to this step, on the right side don't check anything under 'WIPE', leave them blank. And under 'EXCLUDE', check everything except 'KERNEL'. Leave Kernel blank and the rest under exclude check them.
Proceed and press 'volume down' and connect the usb cable at the same time. Let the flash finish and boot the phone back up. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks! I'm trying your solution now, but i dont think it works... none of the drivers are either so. Give me some hours, i will walkthrough here
I can say, it is NEARLY dead i would think, but there must be a way somehow..
Yeah, this will not work.. It gets stuck on "HOLD THE VOLUME DOWN + PLUG THE CABLE" and both ADB and Fastboot are missing so.. It won't do anything there. Holding the Volume UP + Power reboots (that works for some reason). And the orange reboot button in the charging is working but nothing that will help me i think.

When the device is connected in flash mode (USB + Vol down), go to device manager and see if the device is there (may be called 'Xperia Z2" or "Unknown Device", right click and go to properties and update drivers to this. Update me how it goes. I had the EXACT same issue and it took me some time to resolve, by solving the drivers issue you can flash the kernel again without losing data.
If that doesn't work, install these drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

When my went to Bootloop the only thing that woked was using sony's Pc recovery tool.

Try Software repair on the new Xperria Companion
http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz2/tools/xperia-companion/
Both Sony Companion and Sony Emma are not registering the devices, but after fiddling around with VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and lots of trying, at some point the device manager finds a unknown device. "hiredantispammer" may got the solution, but i will try all posted solutions right away! Post update soon
1. On "VOLUME DOWN + PLUG" the Device Manager refreshes, and the Z2 got the "red light" -- but Device Manager does not show any connected devices nor drivers needed.
2. The Sony Companion does not find the device either.
But.. i was reading about some Windows 10 driver problems, so i will try switch to Windows 7 x32 to ensure the drivers are working correctly.
Another thought.. Is it some way to put a "update.zip" on a sdcard for force installation of new kernel or anything?
Yeah, the solution is right. Hopefully Win 7 solves your driver issues. I had to reformat my laptop and install Win10 again because of driver issues when I have the exact same issue as you. Hope you get your phone working again!

And no, there's no other safe way to reflash the kernel. Even with an unlocked bootloader, you need fastboot drivers.
This worked for me.
Grab your original cable and make sure the phone is charged to st least 80%.
Start the pc companion and the repair program.
Hold the down key and connect to the computer.
In around 20 minutes the phone is repaired
Hope this helps.
It is important to use proper cable and not any old thing laying around. Mine would not connect until i got the original one.
Ah, charge your device fully. Reboot Windows 10 in safe mode and disable driver signature. Install device drivers. Use Sony PC companion or flashtool to fully reflash the right firmware for you device. You are still able to turn it off and on, so it should work if you do it right.
Best to first flash just the kernel and see if it boots, if it doesn't since you have the firmware files, flash everything and don't wipe data.

emm....
try rebooting by pressing volume Up and power together until the phone vibrates.plug the smartphone into a USB connected PC and press the volume up if the LED lights blue try entering the "fastboot devices" command if it is detected unplug and connect again while press the volume down if the LED lights green do flashing
I pray that your device can be used again

no i can't, i think the bottoms are dead for some reason because I try to enter the flashmood and it don't work at all. after some days i connected the phone to a electric charger and the screems shows the Sony logo and the status of battery but i can't turn on the phone o acces the flsh mode to reboot the system. it's any chance that the bottoms don't work for a software problem?? or it s easy to repair the bottoms ? thaks u all for you answers
Can you do a screen of device manager in W10? I want to know if there is any device with strange name. Do you have a unlocked BL or it is still locked?

I've also the same problem on my xperia xz1. I accidentally disabled Develover mode and soon my phone become dead. No response while i press power button or any other key combination (also can't enter fastboot/ flash mode). But while I connect to PC with xperia flashtool, the Xperia Logo appear and then a repair sign and then show charging battery. Flashtool show phone is connected with USB debugging disabled.
Please answer me if my phone is recoverable or not and what should i do.
Thanks

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.
