[Q] Bricked SP

Hi everyone.
My SP doesn't want to turn on anymore for a unknown reason. When plugging it to the pc\charger the red led appears and then disappears. Non of the tips (power + vol. plus, power + vol. minus) doesn't work.
Please, help. If your suggestion will help, I'll pay you.

put it into charger and leave it charging for like 1-2 hours, also remove sim and sd card

It was on the charger all night long (with no sim and sd) and nothing. But now there is no red light.

Take it back to the shop

How did this happen?? Try this pull out the back panel and press the reset button with a pin and hold the power button and see what happens
Also you may try this install Sony PC companion This will install all the correct drivers for the phone then take usb cord Holding volume Down And Plug it to the phone. If all goes well the led at the bottom should glow green

I had a similar issue and after 4 days of trying all what i could find out in XDA for bricked Xperia phones my SP is back alive.
For me it happened during flashing (with Flashtool 0.9.11) the stock firmware .257 with to less battery power.
Short Info to my phone when it happened
Sony Xperia SP C5303
Kernel: Dooms v01 (i do not think that this was the problem!)
Bootloader: unlocked
Stock firmware from C5302 version .284
System: deodexed and rooted
When i say flashing i did it always with flashtool because PC Companion and SUS did not recognize my phone at all (with locked bootloader).
My SP was behaving as following.
- When i put the wall charger on the phone nothing happened no lights nothing same if plugged in to the computer.
- If i pressed the power button unconnected the LED flashed red 3 times all the time,
after a while nothing happened anymore (which gave me the indication that the battery is completely empty)
- If i pressed the power button continuous during charging (wall/computer) the red light turned on until i released the power button.
When pressing the Power button long enough during i was connected to the computer the green light turned on and i was in flash mode.
But only for maximum 2 min. This was enough to flash all firmware parts except the system.sin (at ~80 % phone disconnected).
And this was the problem my SP stayed dead.
Before someone asks, standard connecting while pressing the volume down for flash mode or volume up for fastboot mode didn't work.
Now i tryed all:
- Left the phone on the wall charger without doing anything -> nothing
- Left the phone on the computer without doing anything -> nothing
- Left the phone on the wall charger/computer while pressing the power button continuous (did it with a tape) -> nothing except that it went in flash mode and red light again all the time
Now my last try (i was reading this in an X10 thread):
I plugged the phone more than 7 hours to the computer while pressing the volume down button continuously (again taped).
Next morning it first looked like that this also did not work.
But as i disconnected the phone from the computer and plugged in again the red light stayed on.
Ok give it a try i thought and i put the phone to my wall charger for 1 hour or so also here the red light was glowing continuous now.
And yeah i could connect the phone to the computer in the normal way volume down than usb and i was in flash mode.
I was now able to flash the complete stock firmware. After again putting the phone to the wall charger for 1 hour the system was booting :victory: .
And now i saw the problem battery charge in status bar showed 1 % but the firmware start up check showed 55 % .
I remember that i did wipe the battery stats in recovery before all that happened.
No idea if this caused the problem.
However i could now charge my phone and it is still alive relocked and on stock.
Hope this helped and good luck.

To prevent other people from this bad situation i tried to remember exactly what caused the drain of the battery to 0%.
Battery was on 25% at start. (I know this was stupid, i was too impatient as dooms v16 and cwm for locked bootloaders were released :silly
1.I started with trying to update my mobile to stock with PC Companion and SUS,
without thinking about that this will not work with unlocked bootloader. -> first battery drain
2. Got stock FTF for .257 (c5303) and wanted to flash it which did not work got errors always.
My SP was connected flashmode on my notebook a long time while i was trying to fix that (reading XDA, driver config etc).
Several times tried to flash without success.
-> drain, drain and more battery drain not thinking about that i started with only 25%.
3. Gave up on my notebook and connected my phone to the Desktop PC (here the config was ok i knew that from flashing before on that computer).
Meanwhile i assume that my battery was already close to completely empty.
As the flash of the FTF (all parts) started my phone turned off and was "dead", i do not remember on which sin it turned off.
The whole time 1. 2. 3. i never booted i always stayed disconnected or in flashmode.
And than the mess began which i posted in my previous post.

So my SP is officially dead. Need to replace to motherboard.

You should keep pressing that button till your phone's screen goes black and vibrates 3 times if it doesn't do that then either the mobo is dead or the button is broken!
well... that's why I kinda hate sony why not do like most makes do (Like iphone, htc, samsung etc just long press the power button to reset the damn thing! It gets really annoying to keep pulling my case and back cover off and then putting a pencil in that tiny hole in public :/)

thnx
please let me know, mate!!

watch?v=daNue2RsUbY ( video of my phone with the fading logo )
had the same problem with mines ( i manage to record this fading logo part )
hours later after the record my phone won't even turn on and it only shows that red light popping up when i press the power button
i brought it to sony's service center here and they replaced the battery, that managed to fix it <3

For me pressing the back off button and volume + button force it to fastboot mode. From there just flash a kernel and it is fixed.

which kernel???

How to Fix Blinking RED LED

To be honest with you there is no immediate fix for this it takes up to a week to fix and this method may not work. I fixed my phone twice now doing this and it's been a life saver. It's for peope in a boot loop that does not cease and will not let you enter fastboot or flashmode.
REQUIREMENTS:
*You will need this SEUS
*Drivers for your phone ( use flashtool and go to where the folder is where you installed it and look for 'drivers' and open and install your respective driver software for your device)
*PC Companion (optional)
*USB Cable
*Windows
*Your Device
All download links can be found in the Downloads Section below.
The Instructions;
1. First of all if you are in a boot loop try to hold the power and volume up button until one vibration is felt.
-If you are still in a boot loop (sony logo repeating) try holding it until 3 vibrations are felt
2. Now if this doesn't work then you need to let the phone boot loop until it goes blank and it can no longer continue to boot. Once this happens if you see 2 red LED blinks or 3 RED LED blinks put your phone on charge via mains.
- Make sure that the phone has a SIM card inserted or the phone will not charge after 15 minutes. Then go back to it when you see a green LED or after 1 hour and try to enter flashmode (green LED)
3. Using SEUS (recommended) select your device and install a new fresh firmware and there you'll have your device running.

What went wrong when the phone develops the blinking red led plaque?

Hi.....I've had a similar problem with my Sony Xperia LT30.....3 days ago it froze and shut off by itself. I've tried many,many things to fix the problem but would never turn on,only the red light. Also the same happened when plugged into the computer would only stay red. Tried putting it into flash mode but it would never last long enough to flash the entire stock ROM with Flash Tool. So I took my phone apart and disconnected the battery for about 10 minutes. Put it back on the charger for 12 hours and got Flash Tool ready to flash the entire Rom this time hopefully. Did not have much hope,considering the countless attempts before with no success. But this time it flashed right away by holding down the volume down button and flashed the entire Rom. This is where I'm stuck now....I know I need to hold the power button down while the green lights on to get it out of Flash mode to charge properly, but when I put the phone on my wall charger I get no light for a few seconds than a solid red light than about 5 minutes later the green light comes on,than repeats the process. So I tried holding down the power button when the green light comes on ,but after a few seconds I lose the green light. it just goes blank than about a minute later the red light comes back on? Is it I just need to leave the phone on the charger for another 12 hours or so to recharge the battery,knowing it takes a long time to charge the battery in this state. Thank You for any help anyone can provide.

[Q] Z1 turns on while in flashmode

I'm trying to flash a stock ftf file, but each time I put the phone into flashmode by pressing down and then plugging it into the PC while the phone is off, it turns on out of nowhere.
Because of this, I can't flash it. It turns on a few seconds after plugging it in, although it get recognizes that it's in flashmode the few seconds it remains off.
Can anyone help me?

If the USB connection is lost for short time, the phone exits the flashmode and when connection returns, phone boots up to charging mode.
That happens often with my Xperia Arc, thereby I hold down the button even after connecting phone in flashmode to avoid it.

[Q] Broken Xperia Z

Hi everyone!
4 days ago i washed my phone for about 10 seconds, phone worked normally. After 1 hour i saw water went into both front and back camera. I got out all flaps and after some hours cameras were functional again. After even more hours buttons started to act weird. Sometimes power button wasn't working, sometimes volume up was acting like power button and so on. I tried to restart the phone, sometimes it went into safe mode(probably volume button was pressed by itself). Finally I couldn't start the phone at all(perhaps the power button stopped working at all).
After that i calmed down and put my phone into rice(hoping that would absorb water if any). After 24 hours i had no luck. When i had connected my phone to computer, the led was red, phone vibrated 3 times and then again and again.
Next step was to open the phone( removing the back with a hairdryer), took out the battery and trying to dry the phone with hairdryer. Still no succes. When connecting to PC and start flashtool, my phone wasn't recognised. I installed Sony Update Service (SUS) and then when i connected my phone i heard that sound you often hear when connecting a new device to an USB port. Now my phone is seen by flashtool, but it's always in fastbootmode. I even flashed CWM and it worked.
The problem is that it seems volume up is pressed always so i can't enter in flashmode to flash 4.4.2, it always goes into fastboot.
When on battery the phone is dead at all. Still when i try to charge the phone, it starts, displays Sony logo then shows that it's charging (at first that battery was empty but after 2 hours it got full charged). If i press power button it shutdown.
To resume, when on battery nothing happens( the battery could be dead). When plugged to wall charger the phone starts charging( so battery could work). Power button does nothing at all when on battery, but works when phone is charging or when connected to PC in fastboot.
If anyone had any idea what I could do I would be very appreciative. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me.Thank you very much for your support!

Did you connect phone holding volume down key or are you connecting usb after that pressing volume down key

Even if i down't press anything, just connect the phone to usb, led is blue, that means it's in fastboot mode...so i think volume up is stuck, pressed.

or the volume pcb might have shorted

Please remember this for the rest of your life:
When you notice that water has went into your device.... TURN IT THE F OFF AND LET TIT DRY...
Using it while it's wet from the inside is really bad.

Update Guys
Today I've replaced that yellow connector that contains power, vol up and vol down buttons. I managed to enter flashmode and flashed the newest official rom .233. Power button and vol up work like charm, vol down is dead.
The problem is that my phone is stuck on safe mode(probably because vol down is stuck). I want to know if there's any solution to get rid of this safe mode. I read somewhere that changes can be made to the kernel so that vol down will be disabled for ever. If you know any ROM, any mod, whatever that disables the vol down button i'll appreciate your help.

Xperia Z bricked issue

Hello, my xperia z bricked suddenly while I was gonna flash a stock rom with flashtool (I used flashtool many times before). I just turned off my phone and then prepared flashtool to flash stock rom (kitkat). When flashtool said to connect the phone in flashmode, I just press the volume down button (while turned off) and connect the phone with pc. But nothing happens then. Phone doesn't response. Pc/flashtool couldn't detect my phone and also my phone doesn't response. No led light, no vibrations (holding volume up+power button for 5/10 seconds), no led indicator while charging. Nothing. Just died suddenly :crying:
Then I dissembled my phone and disconnected the battery connector from motherboard. Then I connected it again and plugged my phone to wall charger and charge my phone (no led light appeared that time while charging, phone just heated up) around 20+ hours. After that I got a red led light whenever I plug my phone into pc or wall charger. But the red led turns off after around 30 seconds. From then, whenever I connect the phone to wall charger or pc, red led appears and after around 30/60 seconds, it disappears again. I don't understand what does that mean So,
1. is it hard bricked or soft bricked?
2. is there really any chance to fix that problem by myself? I unlocked bootloader so there is no chance that sony will fix that 'brick' phone.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks guys.

You can try s1tool to flash your Bootloader.... Search the forum, u can follow the tutorial.... There might be a hope

just try to have the usb cable conected to your pc and hold the power button and volume up till it makes a vibration ,and then hold volume down even if it does not vibrate it should still conect to flashtools .
