sounds more or less hardware related, if it is still within warranty, do send it away for assessment...

You flashed anything to it that may gave caused it? If you boot into recovery or download mode does anything get displayed?

Watched ur clip. Apart from the screen , I'm hearing the default ring repeatedly. I used to have this ringtone issue everytime i started my phone up. A factory reset and sd card format solved that for me. i agree that screen issue looks hardware related and something that should be covered under your warranty. new digitizer and amoled screen.

Oops mistakenly thanked your post! Lol
Well you could send it off and gamble that they might just fix it even though you have tampered with it.
If I was you I would be tempted to flash back to a stock rom first though.
Yea flash a stock rom via odin, i suppose it gets recognized via USB.
Also use a Jig if you have one.
Just turn the phone off, boot into download mode and hit the volume up rocker after a few seconds. Should work.
I'm on a stock rom, i flashed only a custom kernel..

Can anyone make a video on how to Hard Reset from Recovery?
I know how to, but i can't see, so i need to know the number of button press.
Exemple:
Boot into recovery
2 times volume down->ok->3times volume up->ecc..
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my english i just came back from school(slept 4h)
@xx1182
My phone died in exactly the same way this morning. Lucky for me Vodafone UK are giving me a replacement tomorrow (I expected them to say I had to send it in for repair, because it's 3 months old).
I will be so angry if it turns out that this phone has inherent build-quality/toughness issues. I haven't mistreated it at all.
Hope you get your problem resolved.

I cant make a video, so i'll just describe.
Wipe Factory reset => 2 clicks down, home button, 5 clicks up, home button
Wipe cache => 3 clicks down, home button, 5 clicks up, home button
Wipe Dalvik => 3 clicks up, home button, 1 click down, home button, 5 clicks up, home button
Then turn off with power button and reboot to download. Flash stock kernel, use usb jig, and go over to the service station.

Hey guys,
I am currently having an issue where my S1 gets stuck on the boot up screen. It seems to freeze on the "Sony" text before it gets to the boot animation and just stays there until I long press the power button to turn off. I tried the reset function first to no avail. Then I let the battery completely drain and recharge before I turned it back on and it still gets stuck in the same place. I have not rooted or done anything to it but download a few apps and a launcher. Two things I would like to avoid is doing a factory reset but more importantly avoid dealing with Sony and their warranty. Any help you all could provide would be appreciated!
Unfortunately you have only this two choices ...
Factory reset or Sony (dealer) warranty ...

I was having wifi issues after rooting and did a factory reset solving my problem. If you don’t have that many apps on your tab I'm pretty sure it will fix your problem. Since you haven't rooted your devise then you should be fine calling Sony tech support if the factory reset doesn’t fix the boot loop.
Thanks for your responses. I spent a lot of time setting up my home pages as hubs so this sucks!
Next question, does anyone know how to perform factory reset without booting up the device? I performed one when I first received it but went through the Settings. Since I cant get past the boot screen, I obviously cant do it that way.
factory data reset
with the tablet off you need to press and hold the volume + button and then press and hold the power button. keep holding both buttons and when you see the sony logo release the power button only. once you get the android system recovery mode you release the volume button and use the volume + and - to navigate the menu and quickly press the power button to make a selection. before you do the reset try this: access the recovery mode and select restart and cancel, your tablet might boot normally.

If you are unable to enter stock recovery I would think you will probably have to contact Sony. Even if you have adb I don’t think you would be able to do anything because your devise is not rooted. Someone correct if I am wrong.
I believe you are right.
I was unable to get the tablet into recovery using the method stated above. I get to the Sony screen (as always) but when I release the volume button the tablet turns off. Now I have to deal with Sony. Crap! What are the chances they replace it under warranty when I bought it off ebay?

Call them and play dumb. Tell them that you received it as a gift and you weren’t sure where it was purchased from. It’s worth a shot.

My Solution
I just had this problem, what I did was..
when on the Sony logo I took out my SD card>unplugged power>did a hard reboot>waited about 30sec>then powered the tablet on and it booted normally.
I hope this was somewhat helpful
My Tablet have the same issues. It goes to Sony Service Center. I think is a shame for Sony, because the tablet is 8 months old. That is not quality.

hi everyone!!
I´ve trying all day long to recover my cell phone, but everything i´ve done is useless, my droid is a verizon but i dont know which one, i bougth it flashed, my droid was activated with IUSACELL that´s a company from Mexico, it was activated in CDMA, but my son took it to play angry birds XD and later my cell phone start to ask me for a sim card, so i reseted to factory default setting and using the droidRAZRutility 1.6 made step one that´s Restore droid RAZR to 6.12.181 and then start running, so at the end the cellphone do not start up, just stay a few in tha M dualcore logo and then the screen just go black, im afraid that this procedure its just for gsm verizon or CDMA (i really dont know´) and that´s why i got bricked the razr, i´ve tried to use rds lite, factory wipe, cache wipe and nothing, the only thing that give some hope is that i can enter to the bootmenu.
If anyone knows what i´ve to do please help me i´ll really apreciated!!
Press and hold
Power + vol down + vol up
Release just power button when you see screen blink (kerp holding vols.)
If your razr do not start automatically in fastboot menu. Yet holding that vol keys press once power
Back to ur tutorial from there

Are you saying you tried the hold/release 5 times to no avail, or pushed them?
I had the same issue last week. I would hold all three, get the flash, then the moto boot screen, and that was it. What worked for me was holding power/vol down until the flash, releasing, the promptly pushing both vol keys at the same time. This finally got me to ap fastboot and I was able to get to business.

WHen first step ends using droidRAZRutility 1.6 this came up on:

Are you trying to get back to GB rather than ICS?
Without knowing your phone model, it's going to be tough to get the right firmware put in. You may want to start downloading various types and see how they work with RSD.

Hi, sorry!
The forever is about ~15s holding the keys. Power + both vol.
This will make your Razr turn off. Then keep pressing both vol keys and press once power. This will drive to boot menu. Pick recovery and finish installing your rom from there.
You've probably a verizon razr. If your phone doesn't have a verizon logo in front of it, then you should first figure out what's your razr model to get the correct rom for it.
cheers

I have an htc one x. The phone is stuck in bootloop. It stays on the htc logo screen and does nothing. I would like to know how to turn the phone off alltogether. I have tried volume up + power button, volume up and down + power button and that will turn the phone off but seconds later comes back on by itself. I assume i will haveto flash a new rom to it in order to get it to come back on. The phone is rooted but not sure what rom or kernel is or was on it as i have done a factory reset on it. This all started righ after downloading an app?!!?!? Idk. Any advise on how to actually shut down the phone and what the proper way of fixing this this issue.

Dear All,
I have been using xda for long time as a user of the huge amount of knowledge in these pages...
Thanks to this community I got the most out of my samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy SII, Galaxy SIII and LG G2.
Now I have an Xperia Z2 D6503. I've been using it for a month and I love it.
But this is my problem.
2 days ago I was using the phone normally, I checked google maps and I put the phone under charge.
An hour later, I went to check the phone, and the phone was unresponsive: black screen, impossible to turn off/restart, no sound, no apparent activity. The only sign of life is a red led when I press the power botton.
The phone is with the original stock (firmware 17.1.A.2.69), I rooted it with a guide I found here (of course) just to use an app like android firewall.
I tried to search the forum for something like this, but honestly all I could find was something similar for the Xperia Z and what was proposed there to restart the phone didn't work (power+volume up).
I also tried to restart the phone with the off button inside the slot where the sim card is. That didn't work either.
Please let me know how can I move forward. As anybody else experienced something like this?
Thanks for your support!
Try flashing official firmware with flashtool maybe? Maybe this will help, I don't know man.
and what about hard reboot, by maintaining power and volume up until the 3 vibrations?

I suggest you go back to stock using flashtool, use it for a while just stock and see if this happens again. If it does, there's something wrong with your phone, but i don't think that's the case.
Try and tell us.
diego9016 HugePotato thanks for your answer! is there any way I can save my data first before flashing?
sensei_sai how do I perform the hard reboot? if I press power and volume up the phone does 3 vibrations, then nothing. what next? how do I hard reboot?
thanks for your help!
I'm currently travelling but when back home in a week I'll definitely go back to stock. But in the meantime, I'm so anxious to save the data stored in the phone.
thanks again!

hi RocketSauce83 thanks!
yes. as I said in the first post, I did try the reset button. Unfortunately nothing happens....

When I put it on charge the red led blinks regularly as usual. Apart that, nothing else.

Did your pc recognize your z2, because I can't seem to get it work on my pc to flash a stock Rom. I only get a blinking red light and when I press the power and volume up I get 3 vibrations that's about it.

when I connect the phone to the USB I see that the laptop tries to install the drivers and it fails.
But this is my work laptop and I cannot install sony drivers. I don't know if my desktop at home would recognize the phone. I'll try when I get back.
For the rest, the experience is as discribed by malek777, doing power and volume up I get 3 vibrations and that's it.
I fortgot to mention, I rooted the phone without unlocking the boatloader.

I figured out a way to use the companion app to go back to stock. When you get to the part in repair my device to connect your device, phone must be plugged in.
Hold the power button and volume up, once you hear the 3 vibrations let go of all and hold volume down. You will see a red light and then a green one. You're phone now in download even though there nothing on the screen.
Let me know if this works for you.
