Hi team,
One of my friend was trying to upgrade his Ace to the new gingerbread firmware but the phone seems to have stopped working. He tried connecting to kies and upgrade. Once the download of firmware got downloaded the phone went to downloading mode and message firmware upgrade failed. Now the kies is not recognizing the phone and even the emergency recovery is not working.
When the phone is switched on the phone shows a computer and phone image with an excalmantion mark..Any idea what has happened? and how to get back the phone in working condition?
A quick response would be real helpful.

That poor phone is bricked by the heartlessness of Kies users .
Cannot withstand stuff if using just a MSM7227 with Adreno 200 using XDA App
ive had that screen before. unplug the battery from the device, hold vol down+home+on button like u would go into download mode. without releasing those three keys combination, insert the battery. now it should magically go into download mode. btw its hard to do this by urself, need someone to help u insert the battery while u hold the three button
Hi
After that what to do the kies is not detectun the phone

Use Odin to flash the phone . Make sure Kies is totally closed (even the task manager process is killed) then flash the phone .

hello, yesterday i wanted to flash a new rom.
i made full wipe, deleted cache and dalvik cache.
and i made a restart before flashing the new rom.
now i get the message: device is locked, status code:0
battery ok
ok to program
transfer mode:
usb connected
what can i do to rescue the phone ? it has been bought 3 weeks ago in germany for 489 euro.
All razrs currently have the locked status, it's referring to the boot loader which moto has declined to unlock.

is there no way to get it unlocked ?
489 has been paid 3 weeks ago. the phone is only 3 weeks old. it has been used for 1 week ((

Go Motorola Suport Website and look for Warranty. Provide your IMEI number and you'll get the service provider (carrier) you phone is attached. Then you'll know wich rom to flash.

But can you normally reboot your phone now?
You need to recharge before attempting to flash.
If you can't do this, try this link. I don't know if it works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1549625
I think you can flash 651.167.26 or .19/20. You can find it on Motorola official roms thread

okay, i believe i have solved this problem.
i have opened the back cover, cut the usb cable (from my old htc)
connected black to minus
connecten red to plus and plugged in to power...
after 5 minutes battery was ok, instead of "battery low"
i have uninstalled the old rsd lite
downloaded rsd lite v5.6
downloaded "SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-167_SPU-15-M2_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml" sorry, i don´t know the link
i have pressed volume down, volume up and power button.
selected fastboot mode.
started rsd lite
selected the "spdrem_u_..." file
and pressed start. it took about 15 minute
i will upload a few photos tonight

Get your IMEI in sdcard door of your razr then visit motorola support website I posted and you'll know wich rom to flash. You'll need to flash it with a factory cable as said above.
Good luck!

I was using XZXperience 2 on my Sony Xperia S, and then sony companion detected that i had firmware 6.1.A.1.45 and 6.1.A.55 was available, so just to give it a try, I installed that update, but that is a failed update, it says unfortunately music player stopped working, or unfortunately xperia keyboard stopped working etc. The main problem is that my system does not recognize my XS anymore, it says USB Device Not Recognized, so I cant connect it to Flashtool or PC Companion for repair. The Sad part is that I cant even connect it in Flash Mode, I tried a hard reset by using power button and volume up buttons, but no use. I should mention that once it recognized my phone when i turned off my laptop and removed its battery too, after restarting both phone and laptop, flashtool detected that phone was connected with USB Debugging OFF, though it was on, but as a try, I unchecked USB Debugging and then checked it again, and it worked. Now my Xperia S was connected in USB debugging mode, I tried to install busybox, rooted it, and tried to install CWM recovery,flashtool said that busy box was installed and phone was rooted, but it could not install recovery and I used another tool to install recovery,which had a bat file and it installs recovery automatically. But it didnt. After restarting my phone, the same issue appeared again, My PC does not recognize my Xperia S, tried previous procedure several times, but no use. Cant even repair it as my set cant go in flash mode. What can I do? have I bricked my Xperia S? I`m in Pakistan and there is no official Sony Mobile franchise as they dont launch their flagships in Pakistan. Please help me, considering I`m used to with rooting,flashing etc. How can I connect my phone in flash mode? Thank you.
Thanx

It looks like another strike from the productors. They usually send you malicious updates which cause your device to stop working. This only happens to rooted phones which run custom roms. And since the rooted users only flash their roms in zip format, sending an OTA update patch(designed for stock rom) to a custom rom can only lead to a malfunction. I am not sure whether or not sony did that on purpose, but the truth is that after installing a custom rom NEVER do OTA updates(unless they are from the rom's developer).
If you want an update check your rom's thread and there may be new flashable versions.
As for making your device work, the only thing you can do is to call technical support or go to a phone service(in my country they are called gsm services, and they fix mostly everything, both hardware and software. Some even claim to be able to fix water damage) but given that your warranty is voided, you will have to pay for the reparations. I guess they will only do a re-soft(delete everything, and install the stock version, you may lose your root, i am not sure here.)
I hope this helps, this is how we fix things like this in our country, so it will work in your case too, hopefully.

Thanx for your advice. I was almost hopeless, but after spending continous 16 hours, I`m now able to get a solution. I got another data cable, removed battery of my laptop, and made a hard reset to my phone, and after 10-15 min I tried again, and Thanx GOD, it detected my phone, so I hurriedly start repair my phone option and connected my phone in flash mode which was successful and that was not less than a miracle, because i`ve been repeating same procedure and it was not working, this time luckily it worked, now i`m using stock rom with firmware 6.1.A.2.55. Now I would either wait for official Sony JB Update or I would flash a custom ROM XZXperience 2, which I found awsome, as it had no bugs, and it improved battery and sound quality was significantly imrpove + Bravia Engine 2 with improved graphics. I would ask users to not to give up hope, there is always a solution to every problem.

Get a new data cable, fortunately almost all phone now a days have same data cable, u can try data cable of some HTC, Samsung, Blackberry or even Iphone`s data cable. Secondly, u must turn off your PC, and remove its power source, if it is laptop then also remove its battery. Then after 5-10 minutes, turn on your PC and connect the phone. Also try installing drivers, which u can by using PC Companion. You can also install drivers by using FlashTool. Download it and extract it, then go to the installation folder and look for folder "Drivers" open it and u will see an exe file. Just run it and select Xperia S and follow the instructions.
maybe not new usb cable sometimes usb port is broken
Hey, I had the same problem a few time ago, you can try to restore with flashtool, if you can still get in to flash mode

You only need to flash stock rom and then relocking your bootloader

To unlock the bootloader you need to enter fastboot (blue led) with vol+ during the boot, not vol-
Or you can also reboot the phone from adb with
adb reboot bootloader
If phone still doesn't stick to fastboot, it has to be a driver problem
There are lots of guide on the procedure (which is really hard on windows 8)

Bricked my phone - please help!
Hi,
I think I bricked my Xperia S. I already had cyanogen 10 on my phone, so I thought I could just flash the new Cyanogen 11 4.4.2 ROM and GAPPS over top. I followed the instructions but I skipped the Fastboot step. I cleared the cache and system and then went ahead with the ROM and GAPPS. Once the ROM and GAPPS were installed, I selected "Reboot" and the phone turned off and now it won't boot at all. If I hold the power button, I get a faint vibration and if I hold the up volume and power I get the 3 vibration sequence but no boot. Please help!

Well there must be a problem with the phone already.
Or else why would the seller say "not to upgrade"?
Flashtool was the only option that i would have recommended.
But you say it didnt work.
Are you sure you put the phone in flash mode?

And by the way, it takes time for the phone to turn on after an update.
Leave it for a while and see if it opens or not.

Have you asked the person from whom you bought the phone whether the bootloader of the phone is locked or unlocked?
I ask this because the people with unlocked bootloader are advised not to accept ota updates as it will brick their devices.

6. Turning the "brick" into a smartphone
If you had unlocked bootloader and did OTA(Over the Air) update, then you probably ended up with a dead phone, aka brick. Don't worry, it is not completely bricked, still can be saved!
Download UnbrickingXperia2011.zip file from this post below.
Unpack the .zip file and place the .ftf file in Flashtool\firmwares folder.
Open Flashtool.
Get your phone to flashmode, make sure it is turned off, press down Volume DOWN button and connect USB cable.
In Flashtool, click the lightning button, pick Flashmode and choose the Xperia_2011_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf file.
Let Flashtool finish.
Install stock firmware and kernel to your phone.
Remove USB cable from your phone and start your phone.
Try not to brick it again, less problems for you.

Question: 1. Did you wipe user Data and 2. Did you root it before or after updating?

The firmware that you tried to install, is that your "native"?! Is it for XQ-BC62? If yes then why are you trying to update with flashing instead of normal update or xperia companion?!
Also is it for the same country/region as the original? I had the same error when by mistake I downloaded a UK version instead of EEA.

大家好，我的有 Xperia 1 iii bc62 原始固件：61.0.A.11.23 释放键，当我用最新的固件 61.1a.11.36 刷新时，在使用 newfasher 工具完成后，我拔下设备，按下电源按钮，但它启动循环几个时间并显示错误“您的设备已损坏，无法信任且无法启动”
我尝试使用不同的固件，但没有成功。有人可以帮助我吗？谢谢

你应该没有解锁手机，请刷入原来的固件版本再解锁刷机，我也有类似的问题就是这样解决的。希望能帮助到你

I have just had the same issue using newflasher. I don't believe i made any mistake during the process. Had to do a Xperia Companion Repair to repair. Resulting in a complete loss of data.

What version of newflaher are you using?
Latest version from end of last year. I actually checked this after it failed
What did you type before you flash like yes and no in the beginning ?

99% of all failures I have had when using Newflasher have been caused from poor USB connection. I now have a very specific USB cable that I only use when flashing files to Sony devices. I also close nearly all background programs and disconnect any non essential USB devices.
If you all use newlfasher type all N when it ask for Y or N except for keep userdata thats an Y, thats it, never had an issue with Newflasher on my Xperia 1 iii.

一定要解锁BL才能降级，建议网上搜索解锁教程
My Xperia 1 iii have same issue, also it keep showing "Your device is corrupt it cant be trusted and will not boot Your device will be powered off in 5 second"
I've tried all method to put it to recovery mode but failed.
Any one could help?
For my XQ-BC62, I ended up getting the device is corrupt issue after flashing the rom via fastboot instead of via fastbootd. (it's confusing bc you have to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader, not fastbootd). To fix it, Xperia companion software told me to use Emma, so I downloaded that and was able to restore stock firmware to the device.
