Open back cover, and press the OFF button for 10 seconds. You will feel 3 vibrations. Then try restarting.
Or try and flash FTF using flash tool again. Xperia phones are quite difficult to brick.

Actually, I don't know what the problem was but, I connected it to my computer abd after some time, the phone came back to life on its own.... Thanks by the way.!

Warning Nexus 7 Owners.. JellyBean 4.2 Update Can Brick Your Device.

Hi
I bought my first ever tablet on 24/11/2012. I was aware that the 4.2 updates was causing problems for many including myself. I updated device as soon as I started up device, as I did not know what the tablet was like before hand when running I could not be sure for definite if it was update that caused it or the tablet was just like that before update. My tablet was not great after the update. I woke up and restarted my tablet to find it would not boot back up and wold not turn on, could not enter boot recovery either. tablet was fully charged and I was using it for 30 minutes beforehand, whilst using it, it kept saying force closure on chrome clock, that's when I decided to restart the device as it kept popping up force closure every 20 seconds roughly, the device seemed bricked even thou I have never rooted it or anything. I got the device replaced immediately today and am not bothering with the 4.2 update until Goole releases a stable update. Because I have not updated the new tablet works like a charm thank god.
Tip: if this happens to your device within 28 days of purchase take it back to store for a refund not replacement. You are entitled to a refund under sales of goods act. Then once you got a refund buy the device again if you want another. reason I say to get refund first is if you just get a replacement your 28 days start from when you bought the first tablet, and won't start from the date you got tablet replaced. Buy getting a refund first then re buy it this way your 28 days start from the date you rebought it from. That way if tablet buggers up again you got 28 days all over again to get a replacement or refund. I did this today so now instead of just 25 days remaining to get refund if I just got a replacement and got a refund then rebought it and now have 28 days to get a refund or replacement. That way of mine does happen again even thou I'm not installing update it still gives me a new 28 day period.

I also bought my device about a week ago but im still on 4.1. i think i will wait before i apply any update, to make sure things getting stablized with a new version
Edit.. Nevermind.. I'm in a jumping to conclusions bad mood.. Away from the keyboard I go.
4.2 update won't brick your device. It is a Nexus - just about impossible to brick. You had a problem - but it was not the update.

There are many running 4.2 Builds (Eclipse being one of them) and are having no issues.
Well maybe it wasn't but its possible and wanted to warn others. Whether people update is there choice obviously.

I concede with approximately three million people updated by now, you could have been the one to find the error in the update.
Mine is on 4.2 and I haven't had any problem you described. It could have been just that one tablet.

Seriously, just the "one" tablet, get a clue....
Bluetooth, ruined, no stereo anymore. Battery life/charging time, ruined. Lag, lag, lag...
Stupid one sided "fat clock" December missing in contacts event option. some strange keyboard swipe came & went away!
Complete rubbish in this update...
your issue could have been fixed by you, easily. besides that, you didnt have a brick. a brick is when your device either wont power on or wont pass the google screen(and wont do anything else), and cant be fixed. you could have cleared the data for the chrome clock in manage apps(probably would have fixed your issue), you also could have factory reset and manually reupdated the official 4.2 release(without needing root).

The guy you were replying to was talking about the OP's issue which was supposedly a bricked Nexus as a result of upgrading to 4.2. It has nothing to do with the items you mentioned, so I would suggest that he is not the one who needs to "get a clue".

well there is no indicator when you plug in the charger. if you hold the power button down for 15 sec, you should be able to reboot. there were many times that I thought my n7 was bricked, but holding down the power button for awhile got it to reboot

THANK YOU. The term brick started with the Linksys routers and a brick was just that, a brick, a paperweight, doorstop, and was a very real possibility (though rare).
Before that PCs would be called anchors or door-stops but those terms were also used for PCs that were beyond any possible usefulness rather than just being beyond repair.
At least say soft-brick.

If you can pull or remove the battery you can leave the battery out for 15 minutes. That can revive a device that has become non responsive.
I dunno is the battery on the N7 soldered in or use a ribbon connector?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
OP, your device probably wasn't bricked, you need to press the power button for 5>7 seconds and it would of powered on, if for you get the count wrong the Nexus 7 wouldn't power up, this is why you thought it was bricked, in any case, all you needed to do is press and hold the power button for 20>30 seconds and i would of powered on.

I only mentioned the above because you didn't say in any of your posts that you had tried this.
Just what this forum needed, more *****ing.
May be a defect device most likely due to hardware. Other than the some performance issues and some minor ones here and there, I don't think anyone got their device bricked. I hope the new one will be a better experience. Also it'll be informative if you could have mentioned the first four alpha numeric serial number.

[Q] Galaxy note screen flickering and fake battery drain

Hello,
I've recently started having a strange issue with my Galaxy Note. The screen starts to ranomly flicker like crazy and then the device turns off. When I restart the phone it shows that I have 1% battery... which is not true because if left alone the phone starts to "magically" charge on its own over the course of the next 15-30 minutes. I've read that the flickering screen occurs when the battery is low and the screen tries to maintain its brightness, but this isn't my case as i've had this happen even at 80% battery charge.
Has anyone encountered this problem before? I've already tried restoring to factory settings to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance !
Yep, I experienced this last month. I had my galaxy note for just over one year when I started to have this problem.
Sent it back to Samsung and they fixed it free under the two year warranty (EU law). It seems to be an issue they are aware of. My battery now lasts a couple days and everything is back to normal. 4 day turn around for the repair straight to my door.
Give Samsung customer service a call A.S.A.P.
Good luck!

The S2??? I would prefer the S3 or Note 2. Jelly bean will probably be the last update for the S2 and possibly the N7000!
Make sure when you call the service department that you explain the issue as you have here on the forum... Don't say that you think the battery is gone... As with my repair it wasn't the battery... They said they changed a chip set or something like that.... Plus even if it is the battery, they are more likely to just replace it for free if you plead ignorance!

Random Reboots

hello everyone,
just a quick question really, has anyone else been suffering from random reboots?
My T seams to have a mind of its own, for days on end it wont reboot, but sometimes it will reboot 3 times before I can walk to my train ( 20 mins )
I've noticed the reboots to be more common when im walking or on the move ( and listening to music ) but it does do it other times as well.
this isn't the only issue I've had with this T, I sent it off last month because it wouldn't charge when the phone died completely.
anyone have any ideas?
It seems like some sort of a hardware problem. You should request a replacement if it's possible. The phone shouldn't behave like that of course.

I figured as much. I'm getting quite frustrated with having to keep sending it off. this is the first phone ive bought in recent years that isn't an iPhone and there's been nothing but issues.
it makes me sad. fingers crossed I get one back with an unlockable bootloader
Did you root it? if so which rom/kernel.
If not then have you tried repairing it with pcc? Might save sending it off for several days

i have rooted/flashed many times. and this was my assumption when I noticed the reboots. but I have also repaired and returned to stock with no luck. as for the Kernel, because of my locked boot loader i'm on the Stock Kernel.
thanks for the suggestion though
If you've already repaired via pcc, then it needs to go for service.

[Q] Problem with my Xperia Z

Hi. Before I went to the gym recently, my XZ was working perfectly. Nothing was wrong. After the gym (I use it to listen to music), suddenly my volume down button was not working. Power up did. And then, my power button stopped, and nothing start working, then everything started working again and then nothing, screen going on and off :S Turning off the phone wont go, because it just reboots itself, and then into safe mode.
Can't turn it in to warranty either because I am rooted and have addes som mods. Can't go into flashmode, because volume down button won't work... What has happened to my XZ?
Just checked the ports, no water has touched the white dots so they are still white. But phone are still crazy
UPDATE!
Alright guys, here is an update. I was at the store to return it for warranty, since the phone went all mad, turning off, turning on, vibrating. I opened my flap the headphone jack.. The water indicator was PINK! As I am very carefull with my phone, all in general. I always make sure that all the flaps are closed 100%. I know, that I have to close all the flaps, since if it is going to be submerged in water, it must be closed. But here is the funny part. The flap where we put the simcard in... As the flap is only opened at first to put in the simcard... There is no other reason why I should open that. And guess what.. The water indicator there was also pink! I saw that when I was turning the phone back in to warranty since I got asked to take out my simcard. So I am thinking on how my simcard port/opening whatever got pink since it clearly has been to contact with water..
So now I am worried that I am not gonna get my phone back repaired. Now it is my word against Sony's word.. But how did water actually get in the simcard flap...

I think I have to do that. Just wierd what happened to it. But is there a way to flash it back to stock? Since going into flashmode is hard when volume down is not working.. Don't want to take any chances that if the check the phone. Right now the phone is just sitting there, don't want to touch anything.

Usually this is not a problem for me either. I also used to wash my XZ with all the flaps shut ofc under the spring, because of all the sweat. But after today, this is new for me. And this time, I didnt wash it..
So don't know what to do now.
I think in your case you can flash a firmware with flashtool cause the volume down button is stuck.
Did you try it?
Connect the usb and start the flashing and when you see the pop up about connecting your phone in flashmode than reboot your phone.

The problem is that volume down button is not reacting to anything. Right now, the only functioning button is volume up. Power button and volume is not doing anything. That is why it is hard to use flashtool or SUS..

No, sadly my phone is not working. Went all crazy. Just updated what happened when I was returning it.
the gym is possess...quit the gym...return for an exchange and go to a new gym.
the white thing inside the ports only reacts to water, so it does not make sense at all if it just happened to turn pink without any contact with the water. Seems to me that someone might had gained access to your phone without you knowing and damaged it in purpose..

[Q] [EMERGENCY] Sitting Brick - CM 10.1

Hi everybody,
I was (am?) running CM 10.1 for a couple days just to see how it was, and it was nice. I was going to make it my daily driver until I got a call while the phone was in my pocket and suddenly, the ringing stopped. I took the phone out of my pocket and tried to unlock it. No cigar. It must have powered off. Pressed and held. Nothing. Bootloader? Nope. Try under the halogen work lamp. Nope. No charging light, no splash screen, nothing. Just a brick.
How is it possible for the phone to just brick itself like that? I remember setting the max clocking speed at 1.5ghz and the governor to "conservative" but that's really it. Plus I had rebooted a couple of times between then and now. I ddon't have many apps, let alone many that have root access. So what's up?
Please help me. I give my battery 15 maybe 24 hours before it dies and I can't boot.
Oh yeah. I don't have S-off, I got my version of CM from get.cm, no custom kernel, or any mod of any sort. The phone was not actively doing anything, except for sitting in my pocket. I held the power button and the power + volume for a good 20-30 seconds.
EDIT: Is my only option to play dumb and ask for warranty? D': I don't want to do that because the rep who traded in my GS2 noticed that it was rooted. I'll probably get denied.
Seriously, anybody? What are my options? What caused this? Is it my fault?
I wish I had some insight on why that happened to you or how to fix it. What I can say is that I was thinking about flashing my first AOSP rom in the near future but was iffy on it. Now I'm super iffy.
I suppose there is a possibility that it was not software related. Maybe the phone is just a clunker? Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than myself can comment.
try posting this in the CM 10.1 forums and you will get a result. sorry.

That's a possibility, and what I'm thinking too. Surely someone would have noticed if their phones blew up when they received a call right? The phone wasn't doing anything I hadn't done before (i.e. receiving calls).
You think Sprint will replace it? It's pretty much mint other than the software.
And there is no HTC One Cyanogenmod forum yet.
EDIT: So is it safe for me to go to the store and tell them it crapped out on me? Will they be able to tell that I rooted it?
Have you tried using the HTC charger that came with the phone and letting it charge for for an hour? If the phone got completely discharged it may take up to 10 minutes just to lite up/

First off, Lithium ion batteries do not completely discharge, ever. If they do, they are ruined. Your phone will turn off before it lets the battery drain.
Second, I had at least 80% charge left when it bricked this morning. But what the heck, might as well.
EDIT: Wow. I googled hard bricks and pretty much every case is some kind of update or flash gone wrong. Nobody was just walking around when their phone bricked. This is weird. Considering how rare hard bricks are and the fact that the only apps with root access I had were Ti, File Manager, Spirit and Nova, I'm inclined to believe this is a hardware issue. But I can't be sure.
Bumping. I only have a little while before my charge runs out.
Hmmm, do you know, or have an idea what the battery life was when the incident occurred?
==
EDIT: Oh I see...
I unplugged it about 3 maybe 4 hours before it bricked. It had maybe an hour of screen time then. I'm assuming I had around 80% when it bricked. I have no idea how much power the device is currently consuming. But if it's truly bricked, prolly not much, so it'll last for a while.
If it isn't truly bricked, then probably not that long...
Guys, I'm desperate. I'll try absolutely anything.
All right, it seems like I'm done. This device is toast. Even though it seems like I didn't make any mistakes. I know that almost for sure because my phone was ringing when it bricked at 12:36 P.M. today.
Based on what I've said, does anybody think I am COMPLETELY to blame for this? I don't want my conscience to eat me alive when I take this is for warranty and play dumb. I truly believe this has nothing to do with rooting/custom ROM. I really believe this is a defective phone. Am I wrong?

I was (am?) running CM 10.1 for a couple days just to see how it was, and it was nice. I was going to make it my daily driver until I got a call while the phone was in my pocket and suddenly, the ringing stopped. I took the phone out of my pocket and tried to unlock it. No cigar. It must have powered off. Pressed and held. Nothing. Bootloader? Nope. Try under the halogen work lamp. Nope. No charging light, no splash screen, nothing. Just a brick.
How is it possible for the phone to just brick itself like that? I remember setting the max clocking speed at 1.5ghz and the governor to "conservative" but that's really it. Plus I had rebooted a couple of times between then and now. I ddon't have many apps, let alone many that have root access. So what's up?
Please help me. I give my battery 15 maybe 24 hours before it dies and I can't boot.

i knew there was something going on here, between cm10.1 and the sprint htc one ? sure makes me wonder, i've been on my replacement for nearly 2 weeks now running stock rooted with s-off. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2310750
Ok I just read your thread and was wondering. did you get your 150 back?
Either you and I are incredibly unlucky or the m7spr cm 10.1 is suicidal.
Just a question. in general, what setting were you using? Anything similar to mine? I had also set notification light to "long". how about you?

I was told I would be refunded on my next bill so i'm waiting it out to see before I send back the bricked one. no i was stock-cm and what I mean by that is i installed cm10.1 added my apps, set up my home screens and used it like that until it died. i changed nor tweaked any of the settings from cm defaults
The same thing happened to my room mates HTC One yesteray. I first installed CM, and it was getting extremely hot, so I decided to try rootbox, similar issue, and the device was discharging far too fast. He turned the phone off to wait for me to get home so I could try to fix it. I got home, and there was no sign of life, it was charged fully before he turned it off. It wouldn't turn on at all. I had him take it to sprint and do warranty, they said they needed to open it(LAWL). He went back an hour later, they couldn't open it of course. They handed him a new phone.
Have you tried plugging it into a pc to see if it recognizes anything in device manager? Checked adb devices and fastboot devices?
I have. And nothing. No charge no power no recognizing
