Hi Guys,
Flashed v2 of the kernel using flashtool and it seemed to randomly reboot and crash and be quite laggy etc for some reason.
Rebooted the phone a few times and phone seemed to work and went into sleep. Tried to turn phone on and it is acting as if the battery is as flat as a pancake, no lights nothing on the screen and won't turn on.
Have tried to charge it overnight and still nothing.
Only used the phone for 2days so not sure if it has bricked or it is just a coincidence and the phone was faulty?
Xperia T was running Android 4.1.2 Build 9.1.A.0.489 with bootloader unlocked
Thanks

I can't seem to get a response when connecting the phone via USB to the PC.
Tried holding the volume up button whilst connecting the USB and also with the volume down button to no avail.
Any ideas?

No joy unfortunately, just tried this on another PC to rule that issue out as well.
It's looking like i'm going to have to send it back for a repair me thinks?

I know i'm probably clutching at straws, but is there absolutely anything else I could try?
Put it on charge and eave it for 24 hours.
Sometimes this brings it back to life.
I take it you have done the hold power button and volume up button for 30-40 seconds untill it vubrates 3 times and then tried to turn it on.

Yeah, tried that a few times, unfortunately nothing happened no vibrate or anything.
Will try putting it on charge again for 24 hours and then see what happens, had the phone on charge at the plug socket for around 8 hours last night but nothing change, no charging light or anything else.
I will try sending it back to the supplier I got the phone from if it doesn't spring back to life after charging for 24hours , I'm presuming that in the UK it could be just a simple swap?
Depends on the retailer/network. I worked for a UK network for 5 years. Outside of 7 days a device went off for a repair. Cpw do a 28 day exchange, not sure about all networks etc you'd have to check the returns policies.

I think what I should be asking really is that if they insist on a repair, would they go the whole hog to test if it had been flashed with non sony stuff, would that be highly likely or just simply swap the motherboards without question?

I've let the phone charge for a few hours and now when trying to turn on the phone, the notification led now flashes red where as before it would not do anything when trying to turn on.
When connecting the phone to PC it still isn't detected.
Ive tried to search for what the notification colours mean but couldn't really find anything.
Is this anything hopeful?

Yes, but leave it on charge untill tomorrow...then try the hard reset and turn on.
Then just keep it on the charger. Red led means low battery

Plugged it back in to the wall charger and it had a solid red light for around 5mins which I haven't had before when trying to charge it.
Will leave it plugged in now till tomorrow.
Thanks for your help so far
From my experience the warranty states if you modify the software it voids the warranty. If it's bricked it could be a pcc brick, a friends XT died that way.
So an engineer may just say it's faulty and exchange it. Hard to say but from what you've said it may come back on now it's charging.
Similar issue with my xperia s but it came back on after several minutes

Hi Greg,
Left the phone on charge over night and have tried connecting the phone to PC and managed to get some kind of response when holding either the volume up button or volume down button and connecting to PC and detects the phone as a USB input device for just a second or so, the phone will then have a red LED light again after this.
I connected the phone to PC so I could monitor anything that happened easier and noticed that every now and then the red light will come on for a few seconds and then go off again.
Could I possibly have not left the phone on charge long enough at the plug socket?
Hi,
I had the same problem. When the light turns red wait until the light goes out. Make sure you have flashtool open and make sure you only flash the kernel. Now when the red light goes out hold volume down and plug in the usb cabel connecting to your pc, a green light wil appear. Now really fast flash only the kernel. The phone will go into a bootloop once and goes out again. Now put on the homecharger and wait untill it is about 50 percent. Now put the phone on and everything works as before.

Load the FW into flashtool and exclude everything except kernel.

There doesn't seem to be a Build 9.1.A.0.489 (phone had android 4.1.2 and phone is factory unlocked) in the Kernal section in your thread unless I am missing the point?
Downloaded the stock kernel that was in the DooMKernal thread you posted but that doesn't seem to be compatible with flashtool as it is in img and elf files
Sorry for acting dumb.
Just bricked my phone. Non-responsive except for capacitative home and back flashing, no charge light nothing.
Option 1) Hold Volume Up & Down, then hold power for 90 seconds. Should vibrate/flash/respond somehow. Sometimes takes some time and a few tries with long waits in between.
Option 2) Hold phone up to bright light (headlight or lamp bulb) and hold power for 15 seconds. Orange charge light will illuminate. Play with power & volume buttons till it boots.
Option 3) If plugged in on USB because you were working in Fastboot, (optional: wait 30 seconds to ensure whatever is going is complete so you don't ACTUALLY brick it), then unplug USB: reboots.
Option 2 resurrected my phone right before I was about to give up. Hope this helps some of you!
Option 3 resurrected my phone the next time.
Did not expect Option 2 to work, but it was the only one working in the end (accidentally flashed a Sprint zip).
Thanks!
Amazing trick
Thanks a million times!
Incredibly for me, the light-bulb-and-play-with-buttons trick worked for me straight away.
Just incredible!
(I might be too noob, but what's the hidden logic for it?)
Thanks again !!
Thanks a million mate, it worked like a charm. God Bless you !!

It apparently has something to do with resetting input awareness. Either there's a photodiode that picks up on light levels, or the IR diode detects the heat from the bulb. Thus, when the phone's diode is fully activated, it apparently activates that reset. I haven't heard from anyone, but I strongly suspect if the battery were completely drained somehow, then it might allow you to charge it and turn it back on regularly. Otherwise, the option 2 bypass should still work even on a dead battery refusing to charge till it resets, since it may current from light/heat. I'm also curious to find if anyone can tell if the handset is actually still accepting a charge despite the lack of LED activity while its in the soft-bricked state, or if the charging circuitry refuses to allow current to pass to the battery. HTC? HTC?
Thumbs ups appreciated!

A real brick is when hboot is not accessible no matter what you do, and there is no sign of life.

I've tried the two steps from above and my phone still just flashes the Back and Home lights when I hold down power.
I was running a cyanogen nightly (from maybe 3 weeks ago) when the phone shut off randomly (not dead battery) and wouldn't turn back on.
When plugged in via usb the device shows up in the eject devices system tray but "fastboot devices" lists no devices. I have the phone plugged into a rear usb2.0 port.
Starting to get nervous...not sure what my options are.
EDIT: Holy smokes option two worked after a third try. That's so wild. Thank you!

WOW after an hour of trying to fix the issue option number 2 worked for me lol i can't believe it. sounds so ridiculous
None of the options worked for me... Please help!
My HTC One shutdown and now I can't turn it back up.
Hardware is in flawless condition.
I tried all combinations and options and still my phone is dead.
I know it's not the hardware problem. Checked voltage regulator, phone is charging, voltage and amps are ok. Logic board is in excellent condition, checked with microscope and multimeter.
Was used regularly and one day just turned off by itself.
Also I haven't messed around software because I don't have need for that kind of work.
Again please help me, I'm pretty desperate.
dude!

My is stuck in a reboot loop. It was running GPE which cause the sim unlock code not to stick. One person told me that I need to go back to stock so I tried to flash the stock RUU and now stuck in reboot loop.
Neither method work for me! I can get into fastboot screen but can't flash anything. Having a hard time trying to install adb driver though
HOLY BEJEEZUS!! I just tried your option 2! I thought i just bricked this thing, and i need to return it for the warranty exchange in a few days. Holy cow thank you!!!! I had the capacitive lights blinking and the red charging light on. Coudln't run commands. Held it up to a CFL bulb, played with the power and volume buttons and BAM!! Booted back up. Thanks tons!! Phew!!!
Now to get rid of the frigging tampered stamp in fastboot. Can't get rid of it for the life of me. Tried using just Revone, Tried the All in One toolkit. Nothing. Thanks again.

Unfortunately, neither of these options worked for me. My phone is completely unresponsive with no charge light, no reaction to light, no USB recognition, no hard reset functionality, inability to access bootloader or anything for that matter.
I am uncertain as to what the problem is, but the phone had <40% charge when it failed. Are there any other alternatives?

THANK YOU!!!!
Dude thank you so much, I just formatted my internal storage using the new TWRP 2.7 and for some reason I had a black screen with only the red light on. After a few minutes of failure, not being able to boot up to both recovery and bootloader, I tried OPTION 2, which saved my phone.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Hi guys. I was flashing ARHD Rom and it was suddenly failed. Now I stuck at recovery mode, twrp 2.6.3.3. I forgot to do back up. and I did some factory reset and now that's how I stuck at the recovery mode. So yeah. I need help. Thanks.

You are a little vague on the details, but it sounds like your phone is probably in "fastboot-mode", meaning (on the Xperia Z) a black screen and no notification light nor anything else. It will stay in this mode until told to leave it by a computer or holding Power and volume up for like 10 seconds or something. The reason, in that case, that it didn't appear in flashtool could be that you have no fastboot drivers installed on your computer.
Issuing the command "fastboot continue" from a properly setup command prompt will cause it to boot up. Or, as mentioned above, hold power and vol up...

i want to ask something, could the battery dried out even after a couple of hours in this flashboot mode condition?is it possible?

does the computer detect the phone in fast boot or not [vol- + pwr] if yes download the update service from sony website and maybe it wil work .
It's a long shot, but plug it in to power then try a hard reset (hold power and volume up) for 10 seconds. The phone should vibrate 3 times.
I have a vague recollection of my phone doing something similar and it wouldn't do anything until I gave it external power.

Actually, my phone was plugged into my computer when I was having issues with it, not power.
I was just playing around trying to move apps onto my new micro sd card. I rebooted several times. But suddenly when I rebooted one more time, the screen turned black. It was supposed to reboot into recovery (CWM). So I tried to turn it on again. Nothing happened. I also tried to press power button + vol up. Nothing happened. No light when charging either. I really really really need some help

Does your phone vibrate when you press power + vol up? Can you get it into flashmode?
If your pc recognizes the phone as qhsusb_dload or something like qloader it's hard bricked and there's nothing left you can do..

No flashing LED, no vibrating, nothing.
I'm afraid to say this but it seems your phone is hard bricked... Try to do a rubber band across it so that the power button and vol up buttons get pressed all the time and plug it into your wallcharger. If that doesn't help bring it to your local sony service centre and let them repair it although they will very likely charge of a service fee.
Good luck mate!

Thank you, I will try that. It is really weird, the last thing I did was pressing the restart in recovery button.
I bricked my phone while trying to unlock bootloader (didnt wait for the command prompt to complete the process) and later my pc was recognizing it as qhsusb_dload. But my volume buttons were working and I used the Sony update service to restore it.

It is very possible, frequent restarts eat away alot of battery, and you never know maybe it was on while you saw a black screen thinking it was off.

Then its probably very hard bricked. You should take it to Sony and let them figure it out.

Did you also try the rubber band method? Putting a rubber band across the phone so that power and vol up buttons are pressed while it is on the charger for several hours?

If you see a flashing blue light, when it is not plugged in, it's because the bootload was entered improperly and is in safe mode. The only way you can fix it, is to do a system wipe via Sony Companion and reinstall stock ROM. It's an Xperias way of bootlooping into a safe mode when it's locked.

I bricked my phone while trying to unlock bootloader (didnt wait for the command prompt to complete the process) and later my pc was recognizing it as qhsusb_dload. But my volume buttons were working and I used the Sony update service to restore it.

Too bad Sony doesn't implement an ADB OTI. Otherwise you could flash ROMs even with factory lock and never brick it.
i am experiencing the same problem right now. hadn't touched the tablet in a couple weeks, i seem to remember turning it off because it was really low on battery and the charger wasn't near. now it is just a black rectangle.. LED never responds, charging doesn't do anything, doesn't show up on ADB or flashtool.
seems like it is some problem with the firmware or hardware since all the android devices i've owned have always charged (with the LED on) regardless of the condition of the software (hell my one x that busted open and the screen doesn't work still charges and hooks up to the computer)
i would love to get this fixed because sony tech support pretty much bent me over today.

Did you try external battery terminal dismount?
what is "external battery terminal dismount"?
Hi Guys,
My HTC One M7 suddenly slowed down a bit yesterday. So generally i restart it and it works fine. So i did the same this time. But this time once it powered off it didn't start again. It was at 90% charge when i restarted it. Now when i put it on charge there is neither screen display nor the charging light glow red or green.
I have put it on charge for almost a day and still no response. I also tried a lot of things by now like holding down the power button for a minute or so / holding down the power button + vol down for a minute or so / power button + vol up for a minute or so. Even tried the power button + vol down near a bright light source. Nothing works till now.
Please help me out to figure out what is going wrong. Any help is deeply appreciated.

Any sign of life when connected to a computer (look in Windows devices manager when connecting the phone)?

Yeah that's what I thought, your phone went in QHSUSB mode and that is not good news. There are 2 known causes of the M7 going in QHSUSB mode:
1-You manually updated your firmware using an incomplete/partial firmware.zip (a firmware.zip not containing all the required .img files) and this caused incompatibility in the firmware. This can be solved using this method
2- You did nothing special before it happened, phone just went in this mode by itself = Hardware failure. Motherboard most likely need to be replaced, there is no "software" fix in this situation.

I think my case is the case-2. I just did a restart and it happened. Seems like hardware failure. This sounds like an expensive fix for an old phone
