[Q] Xperia C5303 - Red light - No power - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an Xperia SP which is stuck on a solid red LED when trying to charge. I bought the phone locally with a view to repairing it so not too sure of it's history.
The phone has no display, no vibration when holding down (or up) the volume button and power. The phone is detected if i plug it in via USB and drivers are successfully installed. The phone will vibrate 3 times when the yellow button on the back is pressed sometimes.
I've replaced the battery as the old one seemed to only output 3.1v (there is no stated voltage on the battery itself but i've seen replacement batteries being sold which are stated at 3.7 volts so i assumed this was the problem), but the new battery seems to still have the same issue.
With the old battery the phone would light up red when attempting to charge, remain solid red for 10 minutes before the LED switches off for around 5-7 minutes.The phone then use to go back to the red LED and the loop would continue.
Today i've replaced the battery with a new one, the battery has been on charge for around 4 hours. At first the phone was doing the exact same thing as it did with the old battery. After i reseated the battery connector, the phone is now lit a solid red when plugged in, it remains like this for ten minutes before switching to a solid green LED for around 20-30 seconds and then back off. After around 5 minutes it switches back to red and the loop continues.
Is it worth trying to install stock firmware on this?
In flashtools, when the phones LED lights up red it is temporarily detected before disconnecting in flashtools after 5 seconds or so. When the LED lights up green, the device connects in flash mode before disconnecting after approximately 5 minutes.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, i am currently reading through http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170 to see whether this will work for me.

There are many threads here like yours. For most of them I have recommended the thread you're reading through. I do not have experience with this problem. Goodluck to you, mate

Thanks for the prompt reply. The only thing that concerned me about flashing was the fact the phone is only detected in flashtools for approximately 5 minutes before disconnecting. The connection opens when the led cycles from green to red as mentioned above. The concern being the phone disconnecting halfway through flashing. Will continue to read through the thread as suggested and follow through later tonight.
If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.
The new battery is also measuring in at 3.1v, can anyone confirm if this is normal?

After trying to flash the phone unfortunately the issue still persists. The LED is a solid red when charging and blinking red when not charging. No power. No vibration when holding power and either volume button.
When i connect the phone through USB it is detected and drivers are installed .
I retried flashing a second time, however still no different. At the end of flashing flashtool prompted this message "For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings"
Have i done something wrong with how i've went about this?
Here's the log, please let me know if you can help.

No don't wrry. That's standard message after flashing. I get it all the time too.
But is still doesn't work, you say... hmm I haven't read through the thread yet, but you sure you followed every step and tried everything that's mentioned? Maybe something helpful up here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2401836. Or just let the search engine for the threads search for "brick"

Hi, i followed the thread through.
Something worth noting is during the phone cycling from red to green, it vibrated once this time on green which it hasnt done before.
Im still curious about what voltage the battery should be reading. It's still at 3.1v, although I've seen batteries being sold for this phone which are stated as 3.7v. I'm not sure if that's of any relevance though.
I currently have the phone charging with a rubberband Around the power button after reading this worked for others.
Will continue reading through the threads, if anyone has any ideas in the meantime please let me know.

Just to update, i left the phone on charge overnight and when Trying to turn on today the led will flash green once. Nothing further from this point.
The battery is measuring in at 3.5v today. My plan is to leave it on charge a further few hours before attempting to flash again tonight after i download a different stock firmware, just incase there was some issue with the firmware i tried yesterday.

I suggest you use the firmware from SUS which you can decrypt with flashtool and convert to a .ftf.

I downloaded the firmware through SUS, converted to ftf using flashtool. The file appears in windows explorer under the flashtool>Firmware directory as Xperia SP_Generic_12.0.A.2.254.ftf, but when trying to select the firmware within flashtool the file is not there for me to select. I thought to try dragging and dropping the file in to flashtool window however no luck. Not sure why this is happening, will have a play around but if any suggestions please let me know.
EDIT: Think ill try to redownload the firmware through SUS

Managed to find the firmware in flashtool after redownloading through SUS. Unfortunately after flashing the phone is still no better, the same symptoms are occuring.
If anyone has any other ideas worth trying please let me know.

Could the charging ic perhaps be bad?
The phone doesn't seem to have enough power to boot. During the led loop i mentioned the battery voltage varies from 2.9v ( red led) up to 3.2v (green led), after green the led turns off the voltage seems to gradually come back down to around 2.9v, the red led turns on and the loop continues. This is all while the phone is plugged in to the wall charger.
After charging through last night the phone did have a green led flash briefly and the phone measured in at 3.5v in the morning, no power though.
If anyone has any thoughts on this please let me know.
Edited to mention the phone does vibrate once if i disconnect the battery for 20 seconds, hold the power button and then plug the charger in first before i reattach the battery while holding the power button. Nothing else happens unfortunately.

Just to update this for anyone who may be having issues.
I had tried to charge the battery using a lipo charger and flash the firmware after my last update on this thread a few months ago, however the issue remained.
The phone has been sitting since, however decided to give it another go today and it is now working.
Here's what i done:
Reinstalled Sony update service and phone drivers. To connect my phone in SUS i had to remove the battery for approx 30 seconds> plug USB in> hold volume down and then plug battery back in. The phone then connected and i was able to begin downloading the firmware. In my situation an update was available. During this time the LED on phone was solid green. Halfway through downloading, the red light appeared and the phone disconnected from the program. I repeated the steps mentioned above to connect the phone again (remove battery etc) and the download continued until completion (Solid green LED throughout).
As per instructions in SUS, once installation completed i disconnected the phone and attempted to boot. No luck on the first attempt. I charged for an hour or so and got the orange LED for the first time, tried booting and the phone is back functional.

I will just update what worked for me:
1. Prepared a wall charger
2. I unplugged the battery from the slot of the motherboard.
3. While the battery was unplugged I plugged the usb cable from the wall charger to the phone.
4. After Sony Logo appear (about 3-4 seconds after plugging the cable) then plug back the battery to the motherboard.
5. The Phone starts to charge the battery and I was able to turn the phone on.
What I think it is battery issue because the battery can't give enough V/A to start the phone and the bootloader receives wrong information that is why on unplugged battery with USB charger I actually jumped over and then plugging back battery just push the battery on charging in the midst.
Now I ordered new battery and I will see am I right or not.

Help! Xperia TL wont boot....

Hey guys..ive just started messing around with new roms. I installed an xperia t rom (.140) on my tl, which was working fine. I then flashed CM 10.1, hit reboot in CWM, and now my phone wont turn on. When i press the power button it vibrates and the green LED flashes one quick flash, but thats it. Ive tried holding power and volume down key and it does the same thing. I plugged it into my pc and the pc doesn't find the phone. On the phone however, the green led light is on, a constant glow. Its not fully charged, probably around 60%. How can i fix this?! i can't get the phone to boot at all...i do ahve CWM backup but i cant get into recovery...help please???
Also, i just found that if i hold the power button and the volume up button the phone vibrates ones, pauses, then vibrates three times. Could this mean anything?
It means you have not read the op for cm roms.
Just repair your phone using pc companion and then if your want to install a custom Rom with a non stock kernel you must unlock your boot loader first

you have to install the proper drivers...
if you are on Windows 8, it's a bit time-consuming, if not, that's easy...
BTW, if you come to the conclusion that you can't repair via PCC, then flash a stock ROM via Flashtools, that easier and the drivers can be found in the folder which you install Flashtools (mainly C:/flashtools)
download a stock ROM (the latest one) FTF, flash via Flashtools, and everything will be ok
BTW, you don't need to unlock bootloader since it's an official Sony firmware
wish you luck

flash a stock kernel or a stock FTF using flashtool
1) Do the power and volume up trick until it vibrates 3 times
2) Use flash tool and attach in flashmode (Make sure you have drivers installed)

Goto the installation folder of flashtool and look in the driver folder
run driver.exe
tick the options for TX, flashmode and fastboot
also, try connecting the phone to flashtool before selecting the ftf to flash, then disconnect, select the ftf and connect when prompted.
post the output from flashtool here again
edit
Make sure you have done the power and volume + button until it has vibrated 3 times

this is what i got this morning when i tried all of the steps you posted. I downloaded TX driver, made sure i did the hard reset (power and volume + until 3 vibrates) and then i connected the phone, selected the ftf file, then connected when it told me to. Immediately after i connected is when it has the error.

[Q] X8 not booting.

Hi guys, my X8 is not booting up. Everytime I press the power button, it vibrates but after that nothing happens. I tried to flash the stock firmware of x8 thru flashtool but nothing happens. I also tried using SEUS and PC companion. Please help? My computer can recognize the x8 but I don't know what to do next. Is it a hard brick or a soft brick only? Please I need your help. Thanks in advance.

My x8 manufacture date is 10w51. I just relocked it hoping that it will fix the problem. But it didn't. The problem happened while I am on LewaOS rom. I just turned off my x8 because I am going to church and when I am going to open it. It just vibrates and nothing happen. And one thing I notice is that even though I didn't hold the back button, it can connect to flashtool on flash mode.
- EDIT -
Guys, please reply. I really need your help.
Stupid observation but believe me i have seen cases where this was the problem, are you sure it isn't out of battery?
If that's not the case then maybe there is a problem with the battery, does it charge normally?

I don't know if the battery is the problem. I turned my phone off but it has 20% charge left. Actually, I can't charge my phone now. I tried to charge it for hours but nothing happens. Also, when I look on my battery, there is no change on its appearance. It looks normal. I am totally confused right now on what to do. My PC can recognize it and I can go to flash mode on flash tool. But whenever I try to turn it on, it only just vibrates. Thanks for you reply.

Sucess for us all! and have a good day all!
I think you're not flashing the correct file, and that's why you are getting that error message in Flashtool:
Go to this thread and download a C6943 14.3.A.0.757 firmware and flash it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
Honestly, I don't think it has anything to do with the software, since the phone doesn't even boot into OS. But you can always try flashing the firmware first. If it still doesn't work, you'll have to send it back to the store.

You said you used 3 different versions of Flashtool.
Was any of them v0.9.18.5?
When that happens, are you on stock ROM?

Please help, my z3 is bricked

Hi, I flashed the wrong rom for my z3. Now the problems are:
1. The phone won't charge, no matter I connect it to the wall charger or USB to computer. No charging screen, no battery icon, no boot. The phone gets warm a little bit then cool as nothing happened. Tried different charger, USB cables. Only red LED light is on. Tried + and power.
2. Tried to connect to computer. Get Flashtool, PCC, Emma ready then connect, but connot be detected. Followed all instructions. Used ruber band to hold the volume down key.
The message got from Flashtool is as below:
23/049/2015 08:49:15 - INFO - Preparing files for flashing
23/049/2015 08:49:47 - INFO - Please connect your device into flashmode.

23/026/2015 12:26:46 - INFO - Device disconnected
23/028/2015 12:28:03 - INFO - Flash canceled
As no phone detected, no process had.
WHat can I do now? Please give me some suggestion.
This is the Z3+ forum and not Z3 forum so post it there and someone should be able to help you
