Flashed Xperia T with DooMKernel - Now Bricked?

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

Thanks for your reply
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?

to get into fastboot try this.
Hold volume up button. Keep it pressed. Insert USB cable. Now press and hold the power button untill the phne vibrates and immediatley let go of both buttons

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.

Can I flash with any stock Kernel that is made for the Xperia Tor does it need to be a particular one that will match the firmware that is on the phone?

flash the stock kernel for your FW.
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.

Xperia Z1 DEAD after updating to latest firmware

I have a c9603 z1 and used the Nordic unbranded ftf to flash my phone. I unticked the three options top right so that nothing would be deleted.
Once the flash was complete, I unplugged the phone around 30 seconds after it finished flashing. Now the phone is completely and utterly dead. No power light from socket or USB
Have tried press and hold vol + power, up and down, press the little reset button..... just lost as to what else to do
Worse thing is, this impatient idiot didn't backup before updating either because I was impatient!

Try Sony Update Service and follow the steps, press the Volume-down and connect the phone to PC when asked, see if the phone is recognized by the program.

Try flashing again but this time, just untick the "Wipe data" option.

Same thing just happened to me. I only unticked wipe date though. As I didn't back up my phone. The other 2 options were ticked. unplugged phone, press power button, and it vibrates but thats it. volume up button and power button, makes the phone vibrate three times. Just put phone on charge, all I get is a blinking red LED light. I thought it was just me. What to do?? I can't afford to lose what is on my phone!

Did you tried the physical reset button under the sim card flap?
Also, you can let your phone charge for some hours, if you see a RED LED after sometime, your phone can be saved!

After flashing you have to wait long time before he run up. So I don't know how long you just wait after that. I got different problem, I connect the phone via flashtool, I star the flash but the phone turn on by its self and the flash is cancelled. The best thing, nothing happen to my phone. What's that?

If you didnt unlock bootloader and flash something else, Please try sony update service.
I tried rescure a complete coma TX, it struggle a lot to flash (took longer than ususal time) and it evetually boot after 5 flashes with SUS.

No bro. I'm not too sure. I'm not new to this flashing game. I know what I was doing. Its blinking. that's never happened before. I've left it on charge for 20 minutes now. I can reflash and wipe everything but I have too much important stuff I can't afford to lose. Sudden death issue?? is it back? I will leave it for an hour and go out for a walk. Doing my head in lol. I know it's just a phone but arghhhh. Earlier on I was talking of a fresh start. God literally handed me one on a platter LOL

I would not say stupid things bro but I think the recognition of the phone from flashtool is given by the time you hold down the volume - ... when I do it so fast I have always an error ... then again ... maybe
@Iglesias21
happened to me a similar thing with the old xperia p when I flashed an update ... but I think a flash of this type would not hurt a phone ever so much ... the fact that the computer does not recognize the driver 's I solved it by restarting the pc as I left the phone in the office to charge it thinking it was the fault of the battery ... after retry everything was ok...

Ok, let's try again, now I will hold the volume to the beginning of the flash. Is not possible I have to hold the volume all the time.

To people, with bricked Z1 after flashing, what was your battery percentage before the flash? Coz users appear to experience a huge drop in the percentage after the flash. Maybe it emptied your batteries... I don't know, just a suggestion. Hope you can fix it by letting the phone charge for a few hours.

Completely bricked Xperia Z

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.

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.

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.

Use Flashtool to flash a new firmware to your phone
1. Get flashtool (get version 0.9.18.6)
2. Download stock firmware for your phone
3. Move downloaded firmware to the flashtool firmware folder
4. make sure you have all ADB drivers - and drivers for your phone
5. In flashtool click on the lighting icon and click the firmware you downloaded and click FLASH (wait for process to finish)
6. When it says, turn the phone off - hold the volume down button while plugging the phone in
7. should start flashing the firmware, just leave it to do its thing

Any firmware will do, it doesn't matter
Its all the same, just has different apps suited to the country really, and different basebands - but that no matter
usually when you charge it the red LED should stay on but this is probably due to your phone not completely booting

So my z3 is fine?.
I thought my z3 is dead already hahaha . I was gonna sell the parts ??

Okay i see now... you have a Z3 in a Z3C Forum..
Okay for Z3 same steps, just use xperiafirm to find the firmware for your phone, and download it

Its z3c mine

Can we do pm?

correction its z3c i mean

I have a z3c too, bought it second hand with 5.0.1 on it. Now a second time it blacked out on me. The first time it just restarted after several days ... Now it wont startup or vibrate, troubleshooting is without any effect. Only red charging led when "charging" (slightly unstable brightness), the led stays on for 1 h or longer then switch off and stays off for 1 hr or longer. Then lights again, all by itself. I tried: powerbutton+volume up, powerbutton+volume down, small yellow button, keeping it away from charging. All nothing. PC-companion doesnot connect. Flashtool doesnot connect. Please advise.

If Flashtool/SUS/And Sony PC Companion don't work, then there is no option but to bring the phone to your nearest Sony Service Center and let them fix it

Try to connect your phone to PC while pressing on vol. Up
And wait for blue light
If you see blue light ....
You have a chance
Note: be sure that your drivers installed on PC
