At the start the phone went to flashmode as i hold the volume up button , and also the soft / hard reset gave me a vibration feedback , but for some reason i had to wait a night for test to flash the stock firmaware and when i woke up the day after the phone was in the situation that i described in the first post.
Do you advise me to put the phone in charge even if the phone don't give me a feedback when i plug the charger?
Hi Kidamundi,
I've the same issue. I've tried to update my cyanogenmod 10.2 yesterday. Now the phone is dead.
I've tried the reset (power and vol+ until 3 vibrations), then I've plugged in the charger over night but the phone won't charge.
Now I've blinking red light (2 times) if I press the powerbutton.
I've no idea where is the problem ...

Hi, i hope we'll find a solution . till the moment if i will know something i will tell you :good:
reanimated
Hi,
I've reanimated my phone!
First of all I've charged my Phone, but it has only worked with the rubberband on the powerbutton. After 1 hour charging I've connected the phone to flashtool and have flashed an old stock rom. After flashing my phone has booted.
But still 1 problem I have. If its powered off the phone will not charge. No red light, no animation on the screen, nothing. I think its a problem with the kernel but I don't know it. Do you have an idea?
Regards,
Tom
my xperia v
i have the same issue with my xperia v. phone won't boot. whenever i hold the power button. red led light just blinks 2x/3x. i tried taking it to a service center and they said they have to change the lcd together with the whole base. which will cost me 12,000 pesos. i bought my phone for 12,400. so i think its really stupid to have the lcd replaced. i'm gonna try what you guys did and update you if this works. good luck to us guys.
ps: when i unlocked the bootloader it did a factory reset and i think what happened is it disabled usb debugging that's why it won't turn on.
sorry for the double post guys. i really wanna fix my phone. i left it charged for at least 1 hour. i used this program called update service. it actually detected my phone but it gave me this message that reads "the phone contains modified software that cannot be updated" does my phone still have a chance? ):

i tried that. but this will only work if usb debugging is enabled. after i unlocked my bootloader. my phone restarted and it did a factory data wipe. it slipped my mind that usb debugging was disabled again.
"For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings"
Turn your phone off. Open flashtool and press BLU. Then go into flashmode (volume up while plugging usb in). You do not need usb debugging to unlock/relock bootloader via flashtool

i dunno why but it is telling me that in able to relock the bootloader. usb debugging has to be enabled.
USB DEBUGGING DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ENABLED. Just press BLU then enter flash mode. Simple as that

It will always say that message. Just unplug and start your phone. Usb debugging is only used if you want to root or automatically restart into fasboot

Red light blinking is because your phone voltage is less than can running kernel and charging program. You need like a car put together a battery
I dit it after trying all button, software, etc rescue.
I connect my old HTC desire battery to the Xperia with the usb charger connected.

Brick after format microSD by CWM
Before few days I successfully managed to gain root access, unlock the bootloader, and finally install a functional CyanogenMod ( 10.2.0 stable) on my Xperia V.
(after one softbrick, when I learned how to use flashtool and fastboot).
Yesterday I was install in to the phone a new 32 gigabytes SD card, but Total Commander file manager in the phone didn't show contents. I decided to format this microSD. The mistake was probably that I used to format ClockWord mod in the the phone. Twice times I check whether I will formated external microSD. And I format it to the default format. After format I confirmed the fix root privileges (I put YES) and then just reboot.
However didn't reboot phone and no reaction, no led or vibrations. Bricked.
I take SIM, microSD and battery from phone.
After instalation battery back, my brick "symptomes" are same like Kidamundi and others:
-if i try to turn on the phone the red led blink 2 times, pause, 2 times, pause, etc (no vibrations)..
-if i try to push the buttons for soft/hard reset the red led blink 2 times, pause, 2 times, pause, etc (no vibrations)..
-if i connect to the pc and try flashtool, answer is "USB connection is not in Debugging mode, Device disconected",
-if i connect to the pc and try fastboot, "waiting for device"-if i connect to the pc no response even if i try to hold the voume up button during the connection( i tried also with flashtool)
-if i try to connect the phone with flashtool opened ,and i press power button the red light still on like 5-6 second and flashtool recognize the phone but as the red light turn off flashtool show "device disconnected".
Is relock bootloader safe way for me too (with succesfull Cyanogenmod before bricking)?
And which is next step after relock booatloader?
I tried to explain the problem as better i can, and sorry for my english. Thank you.

hi! i've bought my xperia t today
it goes well! i've connect it to my pc, and pc companion find an update and ask me if i want to update my phone
i said yes, and it tried to install the upgrade, but about the 75% it gives me an error
and from this moment the screen of my phone turns on and off every 5seconds
with a black screen with the white sony's logo and the pc doesn't recognize him and no led turns on
after about 2hours the phone turns totaly off
i've tried to turn on with the power button and the volume down hold
and the red led flashes for 3 times
if i hold down the buttons while connecting to the usb or to the charger,
the red light stays on and after about 15min it turns in to green and a black screen with sony's logo appears for about 20 minutes
but no leds are on and if i plug it to the pc or to the charger nothing happens
sometimes if i hold down the 2 buttons when i plug it to the pc the led turns on green and the SUS recognize it
and tries to upgrade system but after a few minutes the phone seems to turn off and the upgrade fails
what i have to do? probably the phone needs to be charged before being upgraded
but if i plug it (at the pc or even at the charger) with the 2 buttons holded down the red led turns on but after 15min it turns green and the sony screen appears and freeze
if i plug it without holding down the buttons no leds turns on and i'm not sure if it's really charging or not...
any sugestion? thanks

But why did you try to upgrade a phone out of the box?
Oh well... My suggestion is to take it back to the shop. Tell them you bought it, connected to PC, followed the prompts to install PCCompanion and then it faulted.
Soon, we will get stock .ftf's posted here that you will be able to flash in flashtool, but that sounds like a bad phone. If the fault was staright from the box, take it back.

OK, but if there is a problem with the phone, no amount of flashing will repair a bad board or a bad chip....
I will post a stock vodafone UK .ftf here this weekend, then you should be able to flash that (Using flashtool, first post in the dev section) to repair your phone. But i do advise that if your phone id faulty from the box, its a hardware issue not software..

You need to turn on usb debugging. It's under settings/developer options. Should work after that. Good luck!
obviusly i can't turn in debug mode as the phone don't turns on!
after a night plugged to the charger (no leds on)
today the phone don't do nothing...
no flashing red led when i press any button or any sequence
only turn the red led when i hold down the 2 buttons and plug the usb or the charger
but when i release them all turns off....
Have you tried a factory reset? You should be able to do it via Android stock recovery and that might rollback the corrupt upgrade.
Worth a try.
first i need to discover what you're talking about...

Goto the driver folder in flashtool and install the drivers.
Then attache the usb cable to phone WHILST pressing the volume up button on the handset (If that doesnt work try the volume down button)
Hi all, I'm new here and very much a novice when it comes to phones, operating systems etc so excuse me for the noob question and complete lack of knowledge...
My Xperia T developed a microphone fault whereby nobody could hear me when I called them (incredibly faint). I had the phone repaired at a local repair shop. Almost immediately upon receiving the phone back it developed a (What appears to be very common) battery fault, whereby it would reach 80% then shut down, restart, shut down, restart......
So, before returning it to the shop for further repairs I attempted a repair using the sony software. Half way through this repair the phone shut down!!! PC lost communication and I was left with a phone that simply displayed the 'Sony' start-up logo.
I have now returned to the shop and they have installed a new battery but are unable to get communication with the phone via the sony software (so basically they dont appear to be getting any further than me!). They are saying it is beyond repair - but I find that hard to believe? Surely it is just a software issue?
Can anyone advise what can be done? I am reluctant to write this phone off - surely it can be flashed with a new operating system or whatever needs to be done to what is essentially now a 'dumb' device?
This is the way to fix the software issue, ALL YOU DATA WILL BE LOST. And i'm not responsible for anything might happen to you device . DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Google xperia t .145 ftf file
Google flashtool for xperia
Download them
When you have installed flashtool, go to its folder, install drivers (tick the TX, flashmode and fastboot drivers boxs)
Open flashtool, click the lightning logo, select flashmode
Put the firmware file you've downloaded to the firmware folder in flashtool folder.
Connect the phone in flashmode, hold power and volume up until it vibrates 3 times, now hold the vol down, plug your phone in the computer with flashtool running, you will now able to flash the firmware.
Good luck man.

Thankyou very much for your reply!! Thats what I need, a step by step muppets guide!
To be honest I couldn't care less about any data, I'm way past that stage - if I can just have the phone working again I would be a very happy man (I'm fairly desperate as you can probably tell, Im running my business from an ancient, failing HTC desire following weeks of the shop having the sony!). I can't really afford to write off a phone I paid good money for 6 months back so need to have a go myself.
I am collecting the phone today so will give that a go.....
So I had a go at the above - got the flash tool installed (Emma?) etc and managed to get the software to see the phone - unfortunately though I had neglected to mention the phone is locked to a particular network, which Emma politely informs me.
So, I have attempted to follow unlocking instructions as per the sony instructions (on their website):
But I am stuck. I was getting nothing when using the volume down button and connecting. To get the computer to see the phone I have to press and hold the power button, the red led starts blinking 3 times, repeatedly. This causes windows to recognise the phone when plugged in via usb, but I was not being asked for drivers (as per sony step 13). I found the device in device manager and uninstalled drivers in an attempt to force this. Now all that happens is the device appears in the list as 'S1 Boot Load' with a yellow exclamation mark. However I have then tried installing drivers manually from the location where I copied 'android_winusb' to, but this does not work.
To compound the issue I think the battery problem is causing the phone to cycle. when connected the green led lights up for a bit, but then goes off, then back on, then red.....repeatedly. The device only appears in device manager as 'S1 boot load' when green. This gives a very short window to try to do anything.

I've been dealing with a similar problem. When connected to a wall charger is your phone cycling from Green to Red and keeps doing that? Also have you installed Sony PC Companion maybe your phone will get recognized from the drivers in that install.
Same problem
Hi, I am currently having the same problem. I have tried to use flashtools and I've got all the necessary drivers (I think) but once I put hold power button and vol+ (3 vibrations), then press vol-, connect to pc via USB and I get a temporary green led, which goes after about 5 seconds, and then my phone disconnects from my computer again. I really need my phone to work Could someone out there please help with this! I would really appreciate if someone responded very soon as I would like to get this sorted as soon as possible. Flashtools gives me these messages:
22/012/2013 23:12:07 - INFO - Device disconnected
22/029/2013 23:29:07 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
22/029/2013 23:29:18 - INFO - Device disconnected
Also one more thing i'd like to add.. Once I go into that BLU thing, it keeps on asking me what device I have, so I select Xperia T and then it gives the following messages:
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Might this have something to do with it? Any suggestions would be grateful! I've been at this for hours now and need to get this sorted
Thanks to any kind person who helps fix this!

Might this have something to do with it? Any suggestions would be grateful! I've been at this for hours now and need to get this sorted
Thanks to any kind person who helps fix this!
1) Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and goto software info/configuaration. If it says bootloader unlocked allowed: no, then you CANNOT unlock it via ANY means
2) If it says yes (I doubt it, because flashtool has already checked this) then you can.
3) Flashmode has nothing to do with bootloader. Press volume up to get into fastboot (Blue LED) for working with bootloader, press volume down (Green LED) to work in flashmode, which is for flashing FTF's.
4) If you are trying to flash a FTF, then do not connect the phone until it asks
5)Make sure you have gone to C:\flashtool\drivers and run drivers.exe. Ensure you choose fastboot, flashmode and TX drivers.
6) Make sure you are on the latest version of flashtool 0.9.13.1
Can I ask what you are actually trying to do?
Also flashmode and fastboot and adb dont work on windows 8(.1)

Its not even booting, past the Sony logo so i cannot do anything (i can't do step 1 as you've asked). Its literally a bootloop. Can you give me step-by-step instructions to get out of this bootloop? I tried to install custom ROM but it died on me, and now its on the bootloop, which i can't get passed.

Oh okay. I'm using windows 8.1, so what would I do to fix the issue?
I have given my phone to the manufacturers to try and sort out but I have a feeling they will refuse to fix it, so any help would be appreciated. If i use a windows 7 machine, would it work? If so, how do I fix it such that it exits bootloop and allows me to access my phone. I don't mind losing all my data (although i think its lost anyway lol)
P.S. thanks for the reply.

Hi, I have tried to use flashtools and I've got all the necessary drivers (I think) but once I put hold power button and vol+ (3 vibrations), then press vol-, connect to pc via USB and I get a temporary green led, which goes after about 5 seconds, and then my phone disconnects from my computer again and i get a constant red led while the Sony logo appears.

I'm sure your batt is dead. Try the rubber band method. Give it like 2/3 rounds of it on the power button and hold it and plug in charger. it should charge with red led on. Pull battery and try again if it does not charge. Give it some charging and it should be able to enter flashmode to flash stock.

I don't think the battery is dead, as the led would just blink and wouldn't even show me the Sony logo.. Everytime i use the phone with the charger it goes into the bootloop, looping around the Sony logo and then switching off again, then the sony logo will show again, etc. I've sent it off to Sony manufaturers. Would they fix it (even if the manufacturers warranty is void)? Like, even if they charge a little (hopefully not stupid amounts of money lol)? If not, i'm going to try and use flashtool on windows 7 machine and hope that it works, as I've heard flashmode and fastboot and adb do not work on windows 8(.1), which is what im currently using :crying:

Yes (or, at least its definitely one of the reasons). Use Win 8 or Win 7 or Win XP.
If after that point you still have trouble with it sticking to flashmode: I also had trouble flashing via flashmode with one of my USB ports. I like to use the front ones on my PC but they don't work for every device. There is also a USB cable that I have that does not work for flashmode. Consider these 2 things

I'll try windows 7 when I get it back. And wow really? I didn't realise that using different cables actually made a difference? At the end of the day, if it charges the phone it should work! Lol, Sony know how to make things real complicated!
Experia T stuck on SONY logo
Help, another help
I read about the leaked 4.3 and the latest 4.4
Did much flashing with HTC Desire.
Now I made a big mistake trying something with my Xperia T
Using DooMLorD flashtool I got into fastboot mode and then clicked on 'Reboot device into system'

Now my Xperia T is dead.
Starting up it gets stuck on the SONY logo, nothing, nothing happens.

It's just a soft brick. What did you wanted to flash? Just flash a stock .ftf file with flashtool, or a kernel with recovery.

Well, first of all I want the phone to start up normally again so that I can use it.
What I did achieve up till now is that I can get it connected to flashtool in Fastboot mode.
I guess this gives me the opportunity to flash a boot.img first so that I can install 4.4 or 4.3 later.
But first things first.
Do you think flashing a boot.img could restore the phone in a state that it functions as a normal phone again?

My xperia t has gone in for repair. Before considering this though, could you try one thing to see if it'll help restore phone? Go to your PC companion (and no, its not a standard recovery which i'm going to suggest so keep reading!). Once you have done this, click on "Support zone". Click "Start" on the "Phone/tablet software update" option. Note, you do not need to plug in your device yet!. You should get an error message coming up saying device not connected. And once you get this, there should be a message asking you whether you are having "severe problems with your phone/tablet". There's a "repair my phone/tablet" hyperlink. I want you to click that and NOT the connect button. Once you have clicked that, please follow the on screen instructions. Tell me if this works for you I hope it does!

No it dod not.
Why?
Because SONY decided that I have made changes to my phone and SONY now refuses to repair my device.

Ah that sucks! Are you not on windows 8? I've heard that windows 8 and flashtools don't get along, but if you're saying you've got your device into fastboot you should be able to flash it using flashtools!
Sony Xperia T LT30p dead resolved
OK, here it is for those interested on how to revive a dead Xperia device.
Yesterday my phone stalled at the SONY logo.
Nothing could be done anymore.
My phone has returned into normal state thanks to SonyXperiakiasT :good:
Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315572
Howto get into a state that one can flash the phone.
- download: LT30P_9.1.A.1.141_PL.ftf (the original firmware)
- install and activate flashtool-0.9.13.0-windows.exe
- at the SONY logo push on/off, vol-up and vol-down together
- when the phone vibrates an the logo disappears release all buttons and immediately after push on/off and vol-up button
- when phone vibrates release on/off button, keep pushing vol-up button and plug in USB cable from computer
- you will be in a state with a blue light at the top left of your phone.
- however you want to get in a state with a green led
- push vol-down and on/off
- unplug the USB
- wait for the phone to vibrate
- release the on/off button and plug in the USB
- Follow the instructions in the thread mentioned above and your phone will be revived.
All the pushing, releasing, plugging and unplugging is a quite delicate affair.
I tried it during several hours before I got a bit of grip on it and still I am not shure how I got into the green led state.
Try it, be patient and be shure that repair is within reach as soon as you have a green LED on your phone.
Good luck!

Hey so I ran into this same problem! my phone wouldn't do anything except boot up to the Sony screen, no lights no charging nothing
I figured it out, at least for me
>Have your flash ready to go via Flashtool
>Have your phone plugged into your computer via USB
>Hold the volume down button and then while holding it turn it on
you should have your green light and may have to hold the volume button the whole time until its done flashing.
Hope this works
FIX!
Hey the same thing happened to my xp T few days ago. My phone was rooted with UB. I was stuck on SONY LOGO too n my phone was rebooting from there repeatedly but I was managed to get into cwm n I installeddifferent kernels + Rome but it was no good. Like u said in your OP I couldn't get into flashmood too. When I select the firmware flashtools say preparing files then the phone reboots! Then flashtools say device disconnected!! The solution for this is when flashtools says device disconnected pull the usb cable n press vol up with power button n turn off phone. Then once turned off straight away press vol down n plug in usb cable n flashtools will start flashing. The important thing here is not to close the window that pops up when flashtool say device disconnected in red. Hope this helps, same prob worked for me so should work for you! Peace
Hi!
My C903 cannot access flash mode. The led is flashing red and green like a second, then dissappear. Then I have to hold power+vol up to be able to start the phone. Everything else works great, fastboot and everything. I have flashed roms on this phone work flashtool before and it has worked great. I have DoomKernel and rooted stock. 290. Anyone know why the flash mode won't work. I have nandroid backup and unlocked bootloader, so I can try any suggestions.

Follow these steps....After clicking on “Flash” Button FlashTool will prepare file for flashing.Now enable USB Debugging on your phone and enable unknown sources option in your Xperia Z1 and switch it off. When prompted the notification of connecting your phone, connect it in flashmode.Press Volume down button and then insert usb in phone, you will see red and green light blink once, it means phone is connected in flashmode now.
As soon as phone is detected by FlashTool, flashing beings and wait till it is finished.......

Actually the only things that don't work is flash mode and that I can't charge phone while turned off. It boots into system and starts charging. Anything else works. When I try to flash with flashtool it says connect phone after preparing files to be flashed. The red/green led flashes, but no flash mode. Everything with the phone works, but not flash mode...

I don't know exactly why you want your phone in Flashmode but probably because you want flash something so if you don't mind wipe your phone try use PC Companion and repair the phone to stock, maybe is the custom rom making problems.

Dont press power button for fastboot mode just do power of if its vibrate 3 times than your phone is off OK?

Have you tried the hard reset button?
Under the flap next to where the sim goes, is a tiny hole. You need a pin to press and reset.
Edit: Do you have ADB installed? Have you installed the Sony drivers. on your PC?
You also need to run the exe in the Drivers folder within Flashtool, to make sure you have correct flashomde drivers available. Installing these drivers is very difficult in Windows 10 and it require restarting the machine in safe mode, and going into the advanced settings to disable driver signature checking, this how to video is for windows 8, but you'll get the idea
All of those need to be in place before flashtool will work.
Does it go into flashmode? Make sure it's turned off, start flashtool on your pc, then hold the volume down while plugging in the usb cable. If flashtool recognises it then you can follow bilboa1's great guide. You will probably have to start from scratch, old firmware, root exploit, recovery etc etc.

Exactly the same happened to me this morning. I had not time so I left it and came back at midday. After trying to reset it many times it finally turned on (maybe 15 min trying), but the USB port completely died... Then I notices son humidity in the two cameras crystals. The phone was working great, I even play asphalt 8 for 20 min and nothing wrong happened. I've just sent it to repair. Tech guy told my that maybe the motherboard is compromised.
The only thing I can surely tell you is keep trying, it worked for me.
