Vibrating 3 times no matter what. - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ohai guys,
Well, I'm quite familiar with all flashing and stuff.
I was updating my mom's phone today, when while updating the phone restarted, and started vibrating 3 times non stop.
The phone isn't detected anywhere, and I tried the reset thingy (The white dot when removing the back cover right?) and nothing else happenned.
If I press the power button, it vibrates 3 times. When I connect to USB, it vibrated 3 times non stop.
Any ideas of what I could do?
I've already sawfamiliar threads, but nothing worked. Any ideas how to unbrick this bad boy?
Thanks

hmm

Disable all vibrations and haptic feedbacks. Check now.
Else, make everything backed up. Try flashing the stock ROM. Hope, this may solve the issue.

Oh! Ur device is going to flash mode atleast? If yes, then flash the stock rom(.ftf file) using flashtool.

[Q] Bricked my X8, complete brick.

I unplugged my phone when the flashtool told me to.
Now i can't boot my phone, can't even get to the SE logo.
I tried everything i could found.
SEUS, PCC <- neither worked.
As for flashing, same error, turn on unknown sources and debugging.
Help please..
Are you sure that it´s just a battery problem?
Try to charge the phone.
Sorry I would answer if I knew except I just dont know a thing on flashtools cuz I rooted my x8 via superoneclick

Well tried everything.
I think it's in the 'press back button' mode, cause it automatically bypasses the pop up screen in flash tool.
I reinserted the battery several times as well. Same thing, vibrates continuously if i kept pressing the power button. Oh and the green led flashes when it's vibrating.

Tried everything in the thread..
...i recomend you to retry everithing... that is all we have...
(unplug everithing from batery,sd card and sim card)
only usb cable....
it seams you are in flash mode...
one time i manage to boot xrecovery from my bricked phone after many reboots, if you do it install rom from there.
also try from other pc, from other usb input on pc.
it dont sound like full brick... i think
try every thing even if you are sure it will fail.
But i can't see my SE logo.. I'm guessing that my screen is somehow corrupted?
Oh and i can't boot up at all.
The vibration and green led light comes up continuously if i kept on pressing the power button.
Do not worry... you just need to update your phone with Sony Ericsson's update service. If you had search the general section you could have found how to fix your phone... take a look at here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11934117&postcount=7
I think the best choice is flashtool.
You just download the original firmware that you want (1.6/1.6 chinese/2.0/2.1/2.1 chinese) and flash it directly.
Flashtool also has the advantage that you can flash the baseband (if you already have iton your PC) right after the firmware.

His problem is that SEUS wont work, if YOU had read through the posts you would have seen this.

I saw from another thread that if the SD card was used for App2SD before, it can fuxk up the phone after falling back to stock rom.
Mind to take out the SD, or reformat it before start up the phone?
i think, you should retry SEUS method again. i bricked my phone last time and SEUS seems did not work for me. i tried for few time until somehow it works.

A SD card with two partitions, can negatively affect when install a custom ROM on the phone?
If so, I think I know what's going on here...
It shouldn't.. Lots of people have 2 partitions and never had problems

[Q] Galaxy Pop/Mini half hard bricked (can go into a strange mode) Experts Neede

Hi everyone!
Here is the entire list of things I had done before I bricked it. Can some expert please read through and help me? I really need help!!
So as you can read from the title, this phone, the Galaxy Pop/Mini is bricked. It does not turn on at all, even if I press the power key only or the Power+home+vol.down. Needless to say, I have no download mode . The problem started after I flashed the PACman ROM, which didn't turn out that good, so I re-flashed the original firmware using ODIN. It said PASS, but then when it rebooted, the phone got a boot loop. It kept on rebooting again and again. As I have an Xperia Neo V as my primary device, this issue usually meant a wrong kernel to me. So I downloaded "Galpop_kernel_build2" and now when I press the power button or any of the combinations, the screen does not light up. There is no response.
So I tried the Heimdall One Click Unbrick, and it shows me this error:
Is Your Phone Plugged In?
Is It In Download/Softbrick Mode?
If the phone is Plugged In and Everything Is Fine,
Visit the Resolution Center in order to resolve the issue.
So I clicked on the button, it asked me to install 3 things, which I did, no luck. So I was finally going to give up, when I accidently pressed the volume up+ Power+ Home keys. Nothing happened on the screen, but when I connected it to my PC, Windows started installing some drivers! It went well, and even ODIN detected the phone (Yes, there was the Yellow Box), so I quickly tried to flash the original firmware, but it got stuck on "setup connection...". I read somewhere that this was a driver issue so I tried to uninstall and re-install the drivers, no luck.
So now, the phone does not turn on, but goes into this strange mode where it gets detected by ODIN, but cannot be flashed. I'm doomed! Can someone PLEASE HELP!!???

I did, I am on a different PC right now, installed all drivers etc. But I just realized... I think I might have flashed the Pop Plus kernel...
Since it is ultimately the low level OS, maybe that is preventing it from starting? Is there a way to forcefully flash a different kernel? :'(
Also, the strange mode that it used to go into is gone now.. I cannot make the PC recognize the phone at all now, and the phone does not power up. So I'm kinda in a doomed position right now..:crying:
The mistake was the kernel flashing. If something is not booiting you need to wipe data/cache. This works with stock ROM too.

I know, but the problem is, I cannot go into Download Mode or Recovery Mode. The battery is charged, but even after pressing the Power button or any of its combinations, the phone just doesn't turn on! No response what-so-ever.
Any suggestions?
Then no idea. I thought maybe you don't know where was the mistake so that's why I wrote it.

Oh yes..I guess I'll have to go there.. BTW, what should I say? My phone is still in warranty, but I don't have the papers etc right no, since I'm in college.
I read somewhere that they will change your motherboard for free if in warranty, but how much would it cost? I was thinking of telling them that Kies did this

As I asked someone else too, how much do you think it would cost if I don't have the warranty papers right now? It still is in warranty though..
And what did you tell them that convinced them that you were innocent?
I also had a problem where i had to get my motherboard changed when i asked the samsung people they said it'll cost Rs. 4000 for changing the motherboard so it'll be better if you find your warranty papers and don't worry just tell them that the phone's not working don't tell them about the rom flash stuff they'll repair it for free if you have your warranty papers..

So you can go to download mode, but can't turn on the phone or go to recovery coz you only get the vibration, which suggest (ofc, lol) the phone won't even properly boot?
Everytime my battery is near zero and the phone shuts itself down and near total death, that's what happens. It just vibrates but nothing happen. IMHO, I don't think that you're facing bootloop or anything.
In your case, you said that you charged it and by the time you wakes up it's a goner. I would recommend trying a new battery for now. Your current one might be dead as in broken or something. Trying a new battery won't hurt.

I have the same problem, but a little different. I've thinked that was battery problem as you, i've bought a new battery, but nothing is changed. I was running JetMod. When my phone has low battery and than shut down i try to recharge it but doesn't work anything! if i try to turn it on it only vibrates (with black screen, nothing happened). The only thing that can i do is go to download mode, but for a few time becouse after 10 sec it shut down, so i think that it has not been charged.. I observe, when it was alive, when i try to charged it, that not many time he started recharging, i don't know why.. i've tried different plugs or with computer but it works only when it wants to..

[Q] Xperia V bricked

I've owned my Xperia V for a month after buying it.
I just had flashed PACman ROM and out of habit clicked fix permissions.
It was taking a long time so I pulled out my battery.
I turned it on, the phone vibrated but did not turn on.
Is there a way to recover my phone? Please help!
have you tried flashing the rom again?
Like always, its very difficult to help you when you give so little information...

Sorry.
I flashed PACman ROM to my phone.
Out of habit, I did Fix Permissions.
Since it was taking a long time and thought nothing would happen, I pulled out my battery, put it back in and started to reboot it.
It vibrated a little bit but there was no backlight and the Sony logo didn't appear.
I tried it again the same thing. I did it multiple times and it seems like the phone turns off at initialization.
I tried to use Fastboot and Flashboot modes by using the volume rockers but the LED just blinked and turned off.

[Q] My GT-N7000 stuck on boot up

Today my mobile screen went blank. The battery was at 50% at the time. Upon start up the SAMSUNG logo is displayed, and is flashing (as it does) but nothing else is working. I took the battery out to turn it off. Replaced the battery and the same thing happened again. The flashing SAMSUNG continues, no further boot up. I have had this phone for over 1.5yrs now, this is the first problem I have had with it. Thanks in advance for any helpful answers.

It is official, the Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 is kaput. No saving it. Apparently this is very common. They just cease to work. 'flashing' it did not work, a new battery did not get it working.. it is now a door stop. I will not be purchasing another Samsung phone again.
Not give up so easily. In your first post you wrote that you saw the Samsung logo. So it isn't dead.
Try to start with download mode or recovery (3-button-combos).
Can you boot into one of them?

As thai dai says, it's not broken, you just need to flash a rom probably, don't quit.

re ; 'flash'
I put it in to the repair guys. They tried to 'flash' the phone. It is kaput. Now spare parts for my husband's note... when that dies too! They (the repair guys) said that they see this all too often with this Samsung type.

Ignore these "repair" guys.
If your Samsung logo is displayed your device isn't dead and you should try to boot into download mode first. Can you do this?
I have the same issue

please tell me if you know how can I get back all my files to my pc .. on this situation..
Thank you
First of all: tell exactly what you did and what happens.
Can you reach recovery?
Can you boot into download mode?
Which buttons did you press?
What do you see at the screen after using one of the two combos?

Let's start at the beginning.
Press and hold Vol up, home and power key until you see the samsung logo. That's called recovery mode, can you enter this?
The other mode you mention is download mode. If you can enter download mode you're fine, the phone is not broken. Never trust repair shop guys, most of them come direct to this site and cannot follow instructions.

Please do not tell us stories. Try to answer exactly the questions or follow exactly the steps like the poster before told you.
If you can switch do download mode with pressing the three named buttons at the same time then you can install a stock Rom with PC Odin.
Please read in Dr. Ketan's thread how to do this.

Ok, that video is going into recovery mode, but it looks as though it's throwing up some read errors and not able to apply csc. Basically your kernel is hosed.
But you can get into download mode so it doesn't matter anyway.
The thing is you'll likely lose all your data as you don't know what rom you were originally on. You'll need to go to Dr Ketan's thread in original android development forum in the stickies, and download any stock rom of your choice and then flash with pc odin with the phone in download mode. Don't worry if this doesn't make sense at the moment, take a long time and read Dr k's thread before you post anything further.

This happened to me. Was on stock xxlt9 amd even flashing / wiping did nothing.
Fixed it by flashing philz kernel and from there restoring a nandroid then reflashing. Works ok now.
