I have had the Xperia T (LT30P) for only about 3 months now.
The phone crashed and shut down so I tried to turn it on again. There was no response, no led flashing or anything.
I tried charging for several hours. During charging the LED comes on red for a while, then goes off for less time. The red LED comes back on again. I think this may be a loop to do with kernal?
When attempting to power on the handset at this point, if it is not plugged in I get 3 flashes from the red LED, sometimes. Either that or NOTHING happens.
When attempting to power on, and it is plugged in. There is no response at all.
I have tried the Hard reset and soft reset but there is no response, no vibrate and no luck.
My PC will not recognise it being plugged in, neither will EMMA (the flashtool) nor PC Companion. This means that I can not reinstall kernals or firmware or anything!
I sent it off to be repaired but I have the EU version so the UK repair centre just sent it back to me un-repaired.
Any help with this will be much appreciated!
Let it charge for at least 24 hours, then try to turn it on our hard-reset. If that doesn't work it probably has to be repaired.

Define what's happening a bit more clearly. When you plug it in, does anything show up? Have you installed CWM 5.0 or 5.5?
As a last resort, try to find someone with another Vivid to try and jump-start the battery.
i plug it in and the led turns to charge for 3 sec then turns off.
the device does not turn on screen is black and the bottom 4 touch buttons react and vibrate to touch but nothing else works.

This happens on my vivid when my phone dies. Only the led will turn on for about 3sec then turn off and screen will quickly display what looks like the recovery page then shuts off and led turns on for 3sec. This cycle repeats itself for about 15min before phone will repower.
If my phone is off and I plug in the phone will power on to recovery screen. This happens even if battery is not drained. I've noticed this happen since I unlocked the bootloader and rooted.
Once when my battery died I plugged in and it booted to recovery screen. I decided to leave it while I showered. When I returned to my phne the screen was off. I tried powering on and nothing. I tried to power to h-boot and nothing. I held the volume down and power button down for almost 5min before my phone would reboot.
Not too sure what's going on...I just make a point to not let my phone die...kinda scary.

Wait, recovery or bootloader? If it's going into CWM, then it is perfectly fine, as CWM 5.0 does NOT support chargemode, so once it has enough power, it'll just stay in CWM while still charging.
If you do have CWM and that isn't happening, then your charger is probably faulty. Don't really know what else to say, as I'm only talking from personal experience.

I do have cwm so I guess its the bootloader. It's the black screen with blue text where you can flash Rom, backup/restore Rom, clear dalvik cache etc...
I'm new to Android, been on iOS since it came out, so I'm still trying to figure out everything and getting familiar with terminology. New to being involved in forums too, so sorry for my ignorance.

I suppose I need to make a .zip people can flash if they're stuck in 5.0 clockwork so they can charge their phones if they get stuck in clockwork.
Should I ?

I'm using cwm 5.5.0.4 and would like some clarification.
Is the phone charging while in recovery even though the led charge light is not on. Thanks in advance.

Good question... CWM 5.5.04 supports chargemode: It won't boot into CWM if it solely needs to charge. I'd presume that it would still charge, but I'm not entirely certain.
i coult not get into recovery at all.
but get this, i spent all morning trying to get this thing to turn on, tried everything.i finally decided to take it to rogers and see if a new battery would fix it up. as i was leaving out the door i just tried to push the power button one last time, the dang thing finally turned on.............i have no idea how the heck this fixed itself but i was glad.
i guess the raider/vivid did ot want to go back to rogers. heh
on a side note when it did turn on it had 1percent battery i ran back insidde and plugged it in right away.

EDIT: I have stopped looking for these threads. The more I look, the more I find. If the above threads don't convince you that there is a serious issue with the vivid, then adding more of the same problem will no longer help.
I have added this thread to a growing list of similar threads. Please read the other threads and see if your issues seem familiar.
From what I understand... Don't let your battery run out on this phone. Some Vivids kill batteries.
Solution? None yet.
1. Buy a new battery once a couple of months-ish, until someone figures out why some Vivids are eating batteries. YMMV
*OR*
2. You might invest in a external charger and see if that can bring the "Vivid munched" battery back to life. YMMV
I vote to thread merge the above threads if this proves to be the issue.
Hello guys. My phone won't turn on, at all. Just black screen. I tried two different batteries, I tried to connect it to pc (I can't see s/w upgrade mode, so I can't reflash it), nothing happening. I was running CyanogenMod7 RC, and I just turned off my phone (holding power button, and selected power off). Please help.
Sorry to hear that but you know it happened the same thing to me. Using it at midnight, turning it off and charging and 10 hours later it couldn't react to anything. I sent it to repair and 3 weeks later LG sent it back : they say that motherboard was dead and they change it.

Really? Damn. My phone was rooted, and I am not sure do I still have warranthy. How much will it cost in the service center to repair it?
Hum... it cost me nothing (since the phone couldn't turn on they couldn't see that the phone was not with stock rom lol) because it was on warranty. But the 3 weeks waiting was toooo long lol.
EDIT : But try again to turn in on, I tried everything during more than a day, to be sure. ;-)

I already tried; No luck. It just look like a piece of metal, no reaction at all. I tried two different batteries, but as far as I remember P970 can work even without batteries when it's connected to the charger.
Yeah I didn't understand why mine died also. Just charging after turning it off. But this new one seems to not have any problem... for now. What really pissed me off were the 3 weeks waiting for it. I hope you'll don't have to wait that long.

And yeah BTW I don't know if this matter, but I did partiotion from Recovery Menu, and used swapper before this happened.
Ok, now I know what the problem was. It's all swapper 2 fault. Somehow it managed to destroy boot sector. Oh well, it's also my fault, shoud've do appropriete reading before using this app. And why did I even need SWAP in the first place? Hello service center...
So basically no problems with my Xperia so far, there was a time it wouldn't charge properly but after 30 minutes in a wall socket it charged again.
Today my battery got empty and I thought it wasn't a problem, just connect it to a wall socket but unfortunately it wouldn't do anything, even after an hour. I tried plugging it in my computer to see if it would detect my phone, no connection sounds or notifications. I tried volume up + power button, still no sign of life.
I'm starting to believe the phone just hard bricked? Never had any problems so far so not sure what to do next.
Leaving on holiday soon so I can't afford to lose my phone at this moment.
Any suggestions?
PS: I didn't flash it or anything, just stock rom

I didn't since I don't own another one. I haven't had any problems with the charger or cable so far
Not sure on the firmware, still the same that came with the phone I assume, haven't done the upgrade to 4.2.2
I had a similar problem, the problem was the cable!with a new cable everything was fine

hi i was charging my xperia c5303 sp this morning, it got to 100% and i unplugged the charger as i did this the screen froze and it went black and my phone is now un responsive will not turn on nothing. if i replug the carger or usb to pc i get a green light across the bottom of phone,
could this be a boot loop, soft brick? and how do i fix? pc will not find the phone it will charge it though
i have not tried to modify this phone at all
anyone?
got no warranty either, not making things easier for me
Flash stock FTF using flashtool , uncheck wipe data while flashing if you do not want to loose your apps and other things.
Hey thanks foe your reply I fixed it pressing the button on the back of the phone. My phone must have froze has I locked it after charge.

Last night I turned my phone off to save battery, as my Nexus 7 was using my charger. Bear in mind it was turned off at about 80-90% battery. Woke up this morning and wanted to check social networks etc. but it didn't turn on. No vibrations, no LED.

I tried connecting it to my PC, nothing happens and flashmode/fastboot won't start. My Dad took it to my carrier while I was at school and he said they just turned it on with a special button combination which I'm un aware of. Phone works fine now.
