[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 :/)

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???

Xperia Z not powering on

Hi i have a sony xperia z that just doesn't want to power on when it's plugged into the charge the red led appears however that red led goes off after it's been in the charge in around half an hour of it charging it doesn't get recognised by the pc by flashtool or sus or pc companion not any hard reset or any of that work such as vol up + power and vol down + power or vol up + plugging usb in even if i hold the buttons for around 5 minute nothing happens, this phone isn't water damaged as all the indicators are white

Connect to pc's usb and leave it for some times.
And maybe you can explain more what you was doing before it happens like this.

i have connected to the pc and i also left it for more then an hour just when i first connect it to the pc it has a red led but later on that red led comes off and i honestly don't know i bought this phone in this state

I had the phone connected to the pc and that red led went off for a bit then it came back on

Are you using the original charger?
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium

yes i tried multiple chargers aswell

i heard about dead xperias without reasons(in most of cases they turned off the phone and it never turn on again) maybe is better if you take it to a centre

Could it be the battery by any chance

bump

Help?

hold down the volume up and power button for 10 seconds, it reboots the phone
let me no if it works

Try what Andy194 said. Falling that try speaking to Sony themselves. Mine did that and they offered me a warranty replacement. Luckily the problem solved itself. As I was about to put it back in its box and send it off, it suddenly booted up fine, on its own.

My Z refused to charge when it was on 1%, as if its conntact with usb cable is not working well, happened once already but it returned to normal. So I decided to turn it off as it would turn itself off anyway. Plugged it in, but it didn't work. Used my Arc's cable and the red led light came up. I waited a bit for the phone to boot up to get to the charging animation, but nothing happened so I plugged it out and to my surprise the red light didn't go off and I can't do anything to turn it on. The phone is just rooted to 4.2.2, BL is locked.

Edit: left it plugged in my laptop and after 15 minutes or so it powered up. Yay T-T

[Q] Can't get Xperia V into flash mode

Hi.
After having flashed CyanogenMod on my Xperia V, I now want to go back to stock ROM. I have downloaded and installed Flashtool, and also installed Sony Update Service.
The problem is that when I plug in the USB cable while holding volume down, the LED lights up green. After 4-5 seconds the LED goes off, and the phone goes into charge mode.
If I hold volume up while plugging in USB, the phone goes into fastboot (blue LED) with no problems at all. I also see the phone when doing a "fastboot devices".
So, how can I get the phone into flash mode?
Update: I have managed to get the phone to stay in flashmode for about 45 seconds if I push any of the hardware buttons after holding volume down and plug the USB. I believe this is not enough time to make the flash, so I haven't tried it in case I'm gonna brick it.

HELP - only red light led

Hello all!
it is 3 days now.. i have read all the forum but all the things i have read did not solve my issue.
my phone just keeps on showing the red led light when i plug it to the wall charger and also into the computer usb.
i have tried the following with the following results:
1) pressed multiple times VOL+ with Power for one vibration (with wall charger connected) and each time the phone vibrates, led switches of the then reswitches on red
2) pressed multiple times VOL+ with Power (long hold 3 vibrations) and i get the same result as 1
3) tried to long press VOL- and Power as suggested on the sony forum for 8 seconds, leave it to charge for a few hours and then press VOL+ and Power but nothing changes.
When the phone is not attached to the wall and i try to start it i can hear it vibrate one but nothing else happens.
When i try to connect it to PC Companion to format it i just can't get the pc to recognize it.
Any help please?
I really need to resolve this as soon as i can because it is my main phone
Thanks

Keep your phone on the charger for at least 24 hours WITHOUT INTERRUPTION!
After that use flashtool to flash a new ftf
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

just tried a 28hour without interruption recharge.. i had the red led on all the time but the phone doesn't yet want to switch on.
i have tried removing the battery.. putting it in.. normal switching on.. just vibrates and nothing is seen on screen
also tried to volume up + power till it vibrates but nothing.
cannot connect to the pc btw.. it doesn't seem to see any new device attached

anyway

It can be battery or hardware problem so I would suggest you to take it to warranty service center.

Water damage...
Happens.
Dry your phone.
Inside.

How can you take the battery out???? You have a c6603 yeah??? Virtually impossible to take the the battery out!!! either take it to sony repair centre ,flash with flashtool,repair using either sus or pc companion!! Failing that,don't bother to try to mod ur phone because you obviously have no idea Mate!!

It's quite easy to take out your battery...
All you need is a hairdryer. aim it at the backglass for a while and it'll let loose without to much trouble. It can cost you your water proofness and definitely your warranty though. So I would never advice someone to do it.
Sent from my C6603 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

ok since i was tired of not getting no where with all the suggestions i received i then moved towards another method..
i so opened the phone.. took off the battery.. solder wired it to an external power charger i have and charged both on my batteries to full.. (old battery and new one)
i then placed the battery in phone and:
when i power the device it vibrates and screen remains black with no red led
when i volume up + power the devices the stay stays black but the red led magically appears..
what can i do now? knowing that the battery is FULL and that the problem should not be that anymore

Remove battery again so your phone is definitely off, re-insert your battery (don't turn it on) and connect to your pc in fastboot mode. Flash stock kernel and try to boot. If that doesn't work shut your phone down again, and than just flash firmware using flashtool.

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 .
