Is your battery fully charged?
try powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power
button for a minute, clean your battery contacts on phone and battery (check battery for swelling) than powerup

[HELP] Flashing gone wrong???

It looks like that i bricked it.
Here is what I have done.
I used Hard SPL Utility and got it to say 0.72.Olinex
After that I used TouchIT 4.5 to flash it. it went through but after going through calibration it now keeps rebooting. Sony Ericson screen comes on. disapears and reboots.
Please anyone help
hard reset didnt work either
flash it with other rom and see. boot to tri color screen and start your flashing, computer can recognise it
tried that I am getting update error 262
ok its official the phone is dead. it gave me 270 error then rebooted. and done. doesnt even want to power on.

I just want to tell you that flash hard-spl is something different then flash a rom...
Each one has his own software for flash...
So first is to hard-spl your xperia...
And then i recommend you to flash the rom phone via the microSD
Just rename the touch-it 4.5 to KOVSIM.nbh and put it to the root of the MicroSD..Then restart your phone with Volume down and power button together...And then follow on screen instructions
Note maybe you should try to read this thread, study a little and then flash.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477801
Good luck....
well I have used the one inlucded in X1_HardSPL_Utility.zip from one of threats here.
then I used the Touch-IT_v4.5.rar
i even tried X1_RUU_ROM_UpdateUtility
dont know what I did wrong.
now it doesnt even power on.

Satrange i have like 10 times and no problem...
Just pull the battery out try it on again...
Maybe you should download and official rom...or original are the same
The ones ins PavelX1 thread...
And Flash with ones of them via MicroSd...
MicroSd method is much safe than rom update utility...Remember to have at least 50% battery....This is very important..
Dont worry you phone is not broken...
try flashing using SD card, search the forum for the method
edit : too late for the reply, hope you get it working.
Try booting to tri-color boot screen (decrease volume button + power on button)
thing is it doesnt power on now
removed battery, put it on power only nothing.

It won't boot without the battery no matter what you try.
Leave the phone on charge overnight then try flashing a new rom using the SD method.
Did you make sure you had a decent battery level (>50%) before you started flashing your rom??
it had 100% it flashed and I even calibrated the screen on reboot. but after that it started rebooting continuosly. I dont know if it juiced it out. well I will leave it on charge for some time to see if that helps.

Maybe try to recharged it?????
Mybe battery is empty
It may sound like a joke but charged the phone...?
Does it make something when you connected to the wall charger?
If so wait until it recharges about 4 hours and then try it again...
If it flashes then your xperia is not broken....
Some others users have this same issue with that rom...
So maybe try and official rom trust me flash it via microSD method always
Rename the official rom to KOVSIMG.nbh and the copy to the root of the microSD memory
shoudl something blink or is there is indicator if it is charging when plugged in the wall charger?

yes, the LED above the USB connector on your mobile should be blinking.
if the battery went flat completely, it will take some time to start blinking.

It shouldt blink on sides or it shouldt turn red the power button ...
But sometimes you have to wait some minutes

Not sure... might dep the rom.
Normally my led's flash/glow... but I haven't had a look at it charging whilst the phone is off.
Charge it for half an hour or so and then try to get the boot loader up (hold power and volume down to turn on).
If the boot loader (striped screen) starts you should be able to fix a bad flash.
Turn the phone off and charge it overnight
get a rom you know (the .nbh or .image file) and rename it "Kovsimg.nbh"
put the Kovsimg.nbh file on the root directory of your storage card (you might want to take the card out of your phone and put it in a card reader to do this)
boot your phone in boot loader mode (hold power and volume down)
follow the prompts to install the good rom.
After its complete, reset your phone (either by putting your stylus in the reboot hole or taking the battery out)
All should be good
well 30 mins and no flashing lights, power button doesnt work. connecting to PC doesnt work. I am out of ideas.

I think I killed it...

My Tilt was low on battery so I went to plug it into my computer. Turns out my brother took my USB cable, so I went to my room and found a USB power plug for an old iHome.(Only after plugging it in did I realize it wasn't standard USB voltage, it was 9v) Well I plugged it in, and my phone immediately turned off, and now it constantly reboots to the Smart Mobility boot screen, vibrates, and restarts again. I left it with the battery/microSD card/ SIM card out for 24 hours, but still nothing. I've tried Hard Resetting, and re-flashing through the microSD card, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Have try another battery?, probably your battery was the one that really got smashed with those 9v.
I don't think its the battery, because it still holds a charge, and can boot into the boot loader and hard reset screen fine. Is it possible that the battery just can't provide enough power for the full OS? Is there anyway to boot off of USB alone? I don't have another battery (currently) so I can't really test that.

Try to reflash, since you can get in bootloader and see if that solves the problem.

Same thing happened to me, it had enough power to get and remain in bootloader but not enough to boot OS. Put in a new battery and has run perfect ever since. 3 mon.

Agree with mate
Sorry for reviving my own post, but i finally got a replacement battery and it still just vibrates, smart mobility screen, then repeats. I just tried flashing it with the stock att rom and the only difference is att screen instead of smart mobility. Any other suggestions?
EDIT: Also tried flashing android but does the same thing, vibrates, flashes boot screen, repeats

X1 Bricked :(

PROBLEM SOLVED, LOOK BELOW...
----------------------------------------------
Hello,
I was using my phone without any problems. I had no problems but I wanted to restart the device to free memory. I hold down the power button, and "slide to reset". The phone turned off properly but it was strange that even after a while there was nothing on screen. So I pulled the battery out, replaced. When I hold down power button the phone vibrates but never starts up! nothing on screen!
I tried to hard reset with holding 2 silver buttons with power, no way. I tried to get to ROM flash screen by holding volume down and power, no way. I even pressed reset, power, volume down no way. Everytime it gives a vibration but no way, there is nothing on screen.
I'm using energy ROM with hard-spl sd card update method.
Any suggestions that how can I see something on screen?????

AFTER FEW DAYS TAKING THE PHONE AND BATTERY APART AND LEFT IT ALONE WITHOUT BATTERY:
Hey, it has been days and days, I retried many times but nothing changed.
I removed the battery, put the phone away somewhere and I thought that if I find a free time, I will send it to service.
Today I would send it to service but before that I wanted to try, i placed the battery back and wow it worked!!!!
There is some possibility you didn't brick the phone just killed or heavily discharged your battery. X1 could miscalculate the charge level and not inform you in time.
Plug-in a wall charger and pay attention to diode signals. Also verify is when pressing Power button you can see red flashes of diode from inside the button?
If you see those flashes your battery need to be charged. It may take up to few hours!
thank you for trying to provide me a solution.
The battery was full when this happened.. I even left it on the charge for hours.. Even I take the battery out and replace, and plug it in the charge directly, the diods don't light up... If it is a software caused situation, is there a way to ultra hard reset or flash it somehow without booting?

But i have a similar problem to the stated one. After flashing the new leaked 4.3 Rom from DoomLord my phone ran just fine for nearly a week. Yesterday i inserted a new sd card and wanted to format it in recovery. But then after formating sdcard1 my phone totally freezed. However i rebooted it from recovery. No led when i plug in. I tried every combination of buttons presses (also volume up + power button which does normaly the trick). I even opened the phone and unplugged battery for 2-3 min, still nothing. Do you guys have any idea what i else can do, or is my phone simply broken?

charage the phone for 24 hrs or overnight and try flashing the stock rom via flashtool. if it did not work with vol down button+power try this method 2
try to do a hard reset; (while NOT connected via usb or something) hold power+vol up, it will vibrate 1 time, and then 3 times quick. After that try to connect the usb (NOT while pressing any buttons) and press vol down+power
That should connect it into flashmode.

Thank you for your reply.

When i disconnect phone from charger and connect to my notebook nothing happens. I mean I press vol down + power there is nothing the phone doesn't react. If i try i hard reset. The red LED is blinking and the phone doesn't vibrate .

Ok, I disassembled the phone again. I removed battery and measured voltage seems to be fine. Besides battery life was OK when it worked (OK compared to my SXplay ). Additionally i tried the battery trick from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449242. However the bahavior on charger is still the same 5min red LED 5min no LED at all. Excluding it is a driver problem I ran flashtool on my linux machine and tested both the windows and linux flash tool with my xperia Play which is correctly detected in flash mode.
Thanks guys for your hints upon now but I would be happy to get additonal ones. I'm not afraid of disassembling and getting my hands dirty.
I hope I will get this great phone running again since I've really started to love it :-/.
Same situation with CM 10.2
Hi there I'm in the same situation with my xperia V.

How much voltage is the battery? For that battery trick, are you sure, you did it correctly? Could you post some pictures? If you're sure, it's the battery, buy another one.

Ok i attached a picture. The measured voltage is 3.07 V between kathode and anode marked in red (of course I measured it when the battery was disconnected. Moreover you see the soldered connection to the back of the battery marked in green. I've already tried what I red in another post in this forum, where the guys there suggest to unplugg the battery and try to connect the phone in flash mode. This results in a blinking red LED :-/. No idea what else I can do

Charge the battery somewhere or buy new battery. 3.07V is not enough.
Battery Voltage
peetr_ is right, using GPS Essentials to measure my battery voltage at 12% charge (not the most accurate way I know) it's measuring at 3.611V

Yes, it's worth to try it. Just try to borrow it from someone, let it boot and try to use your battery again.
no way even changing the battery

xperia t now alive
hello guys I have a solution to this problem.and I guess you guys are lucky cause I experienced this problem also.you don't need to panic cause this will help.all you need to do is to get a new battery either online or in your domestic regions.if you wish to get it online go to aliexpress.com And it will be shipped to you no matter where you are on this earth.the reason is because the xperia t has been drained to the core and so it can't come on in other to flash in a kernel or image. When you've bought the battery you can actually fix it by yourself cause I'll Show you how.when you've fixed it then you flash in 4.3jb stock room in it and then your phone comes back alive like mine.IV actually used the phone for a month before that problem occurred but now say no more to that cause this thread will work 100%
