[Q] Bricked. Help pls

Hi.
I have an S Advance. Installed the russian firmware, and I had some lag... Then I saw a new chinise fw on sammobile so I decided to try it out. The installation went fine odin says 'pass' then 'restart'. My phone turned off but did not started. Tried to turn on manually but nothing. No boot no download mode or recovery, nothing. Its like someone had removed the battery. I borrowed an USB JIG (tried it on other device and working) but it did not work on my phone. Normally I would have warranty BUT my binary counter is on 3 for obvious reasons. Now Im without phone hoping that I can still do something. So far spent hours searching the web and also here without any luck. Is there any way I can still fix this or Im screwed? And I mean literally cuz I dont have any money to send it back for repair. If it helps:
XXLQ4 - I had this with stock kernel
ZCLPB - This fw killed the phone (also stock kernel)
Any Idea?

When the Chinese firmware released, a few users reported that they Hard Bricked their phone by flashing it... So I went on with flashing the Indian firmware instead.... You should have tried with any other firmware mate but now I think your phone is "gone"....
Take it to Service center and if you are sure that you can't boot to Download or Recovery mode then tell them your problem.... They just might give you a new phone or try to fix yours..

I tried to flash the Brazilian JB rom (I9070VJLPA) and surprise: my handset was hard bricked as well.
Right now, my GT-I9070 are at Samsung Service Center (because I hadn't the guts to make an USB JIG myself).
I'm hoping that the guarantee is accepted. Although the counter is still zero (checked in triangleaway) and I flashed only stock firmware. But the old rom was Russian JB and they can find out and charge to unbrick the phone. Or worse, they can charge one new motherboard.

Well, I just said "it doesn't turn on". The attendant only tested a bit (tried to turn on the handset) and gave me the warranty service order and spoke to me that it will be ready at day 17.

You mean it'll get repaired in warranty and after 17 days your handset would be back.

He means it'll be ready in the 17th, I guess.

hhahahah good idea
---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------
thats why you should check other's feedback onto the fw before flasing it -.- research more about the fw then if you saw a good LEGIT feedback then proceed to flash it. typical newbie behavior like me when i was still a newbie to XDA xD

[Q] SIM-card(s) not readable

I've got a more or less big problem. My Xperia SP cannot recognize, that my SIM-card is inserted. If I turn it on it doesn't ask for the PIN and furthermore I can't receive or send SMS's, I can't receive calls or call somebody and I haven't got mobile data. I tried to insert my SIM-card in another sony phone and it didn't work. I also put another working SIM-card in my phone and it also couldn't recognize it. I think (I'm actually sure) it's caused by the non-functional phone apk, but maybe also the SIM-card is broken.
What shall I do? I have a TWRP backup, but I'm not 100% sure, whether it is from before or after. What is a less- or non-risky possibility to replace the phone.apkor is there a better method to repair the phone?

edit: I found out, if my phone is turned on and I remove the SIM-card, it realizes it, and reboots.

Please help me!

???
Sorry, but why is my post ticked with a hook??? The problem isn't solved yet!

Get a new sim card.. This will fix most simcard issues

First of All thanks for your reply. But I already took another SIM-card (which on Xperia L works fine) and put it into my device but there were the same problems. Yesterday I downloaded the SemcPhone.apk file, pushed it to /system/app and changed permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted. Then it asked for the PIN but after unlocking I got a bunch of Force closes and they didn't stop.. Even after rebooting again I had the problem, so I deleted the apk file again. But it's now the same like I described there above :/

Reflash ROM.. You have phone.apk problems aswell so this should fix it

Okay.. And the stock ROM, is this the "Deodexed stock ROM" (777MB) from android development or the "normal" stock ROM (odexed) (12.0.A.2.245) also from android development section?

No, to prevent any issues just open Sony Update Service (can be downloaded from the Sony website) and "restore" your phone..
So go back to full stock

Okay cool thank you I'll try it

The last version of Sony Update Service misses the XSP.
I have contacted Sony Mobile to point this out. Untill we recieve a new update you need to use the PC Companion to restore your phone or you need to use Flashtool

Okay, then I'll do that

:/
I tried it with PC Companion but when it had to start repairing and it booted the phone into flashmode (I think so, because the LED was green) and then PC Companion said: "The phone contains modified software, which cannot be updated" and below "Error 2003" ..
I tried it 2 times and both the same :/
My phone has unlocked bootloader, is rooted, and has the DoomKernel, no custom rom.

Well that is unfortunate. You need to relock bootloader and reflash with flashtool.
You cannot use Sony software with unlocked bootloader

Oh! That's actually bad. But then I first have to flash back the stock kernel, then relock bootloader, repair with PC Companion and eventually unlock Bootloader again if necessary for me, right? Just for being sure.

Yes correct you need stock kernel then lock bootloader,then re flash/repair phone
Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk

Ok good. Now the last question: from where can I get the right stock kernel? I found a post from DoomLoRD, where he wrote, that you have to flash stock kernel.sin and no FTF kernel but I couldn't find a stock kernel.sin and in another post from alivanov79, alivanov79 posted a link to an FTF kernel. So Do you know which one is the right one?

Hello! I hope you're still alive!
I am facing the same problem, but before I start doing stuff, may I know if your problem has been solved?
My Xperia SP as well on occassion doesn't detected sim card. Sometimes when I need to make phone calls the most, it starts to do it. I am planning to send it for warranty, as I am having another 20 days before the warranty expires.
Surprisingly, many Sony Xperia models users have experience of having a phone that doesn't read SIM cards. Google reveals it all.

Hey,
yeah, I'm still alive
So, the thing is, my problem there had been caused by myself, fiddling around with some root stuff, so it hadn't been my phone's fault.
But what I did is I just flashed another ROM because I didn't see another solution and it really drove me crazy not being able to use the SIM card related functions.
Well, keeping your post in mind I don't think you'd like to flash another ROM (I probably shouldn't have done that, too).
So if you didn't already try to repair your phone with PC Companion, that'd be the first thing, I'd do in your case.
Otherwise I'd send it for warranty as you considered it already.
Yeah, my sister's Xperia L also has that problem and that's really unfortunate.
So I hope, my "advide" could help at least a bit although there may not be plenty of hints, but yeah.
If I shocked you with that essay I'm sorry, too

Lol I don't think ROM flashing is the root problem, as I have been using CM11 for a month (and maybe more). The problem starts appearing lately..
I will flash stock ROM and relock bootloader and then reflash stock via PCC to see if it will fix the problem
Anyway thanks for the reply!
No, that's not even something to be called "essay"....

DEAD or DEATH BOOT/battery totally drained

So my phone's not yet fixed since the 25th of December due to sudden death - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585068
We had it checked again last Thursday, January 3rd. The technician said that the replacement of motherboard is not yet clear to be the best solution as the technicians from the Sony Service Center hadn't opened the phone yet. He said that it might have been a cause of a dead or death boot. Has anyone heard of it? He says not only Sony phones are experiencing this dead or death booth, even other brands. Kind of random.He said that the phone somewhat hangs, the screen isn't on but the system is still running which causes the phone to become warm or hot. And he also said that this lead to the battery getting totally drained. As per him, once the battery is totally drained it won't get charged even if I try to charge the phone for a number of hours. So what he will do when I get back to him on Monday is he will first try to shock the battery to see if it will be revived (which I hope this is just the case) and then dload some firmwares or softwares to fix the unit.
I hope this ordeal will be solved this following week as it's been so inconvenient on my part and I terribly miss my phone.

One of possibility is that they will open the back cover, pull out the battery and charge it to full, then they put it back and flash the stock firmware. With battery charged they have enough time for flashing and the phone should turn on. If it's Sony Center to do that they will also seal the phone as original to get fully working waterproof.

I really, really, really hope it'd work. For the waterproofing it would be fine to take it to the Sony service centre just to have the full waterproofness back.:good:

Hey guys, do the devs a favour: NOT EVERY SIMPLE BOOTLOOP IS A BRICKED DEVICE!!!
Just go to recovery and wipe everything, it then should boot without problems.
if it doesn't, first check yourself (e.g. did you flash a 4.4 kitkat without flashing a new kernel for it?)
the answers for nearly all problems are here on xda-developers ... just read, read and read and understand ... if you don't know, what you do with flashing your device, what the partitions data / cache / system are for, what a kernel is or what the differences between stock roms, custom rom releases and nightly builds is, you simply SHOULD NOT flash your device.
If you understand what you are doing and if THAT ALL doesn't help you and you think you have a problem noone else have (i allready had such a thing with my defy+, it got bootloop and it was a dead memory chip) THEN (and just then) post your problem here. The devs simply don't have the time to help everyone who simply can't read the existing threads.
Thanks (and dont get angry on me, just saying so you can do it better the next time)

[Q] Completely Dead

Hi
what i did.
I unlocked the Bootloader via Flashtool
Rooted the device
Installed TW Recovery.
Installed iHackers 4.
All was fine until i saw the i wasnt connected to my Network Provider .
AHH i forgot to flash "Xperia Z1 - C6903 - Kernel + Baseband [14.3.A.0.757].ftf"
So i went into flashtool and flashed it, excluding everything execpt Kernel and Baseband.
The flashtool finshed and the device shut down. And thats it. Since then nothing. Not even
the led or something is showing any lifesignal. I tryed every button combi. The red reset button.
Tryed to enter flashmode.. NOTHING!!! What the ?! ANy ideas what i can do?
Last time i checked the accu was @ 93 %. I have it now on the charger dock hoping it is just a battery issue. No combination (pwr+vol+ or pwr+vol- etc.) working so far.
thanx
Thomas

But thats not my problem. The Phone is dead.. I does not give

..you did not followed the instructions and you unlocked with Flashtool which probably did not do his job right.
Maybe I am wrong but this is how supposed to be to avoid issues.
Then you phone is bricked and you have to follow other instruction to check if still can be resurrected, there is many Threads on XDA about this.

Wow i haven't thought that I get some nagging here instead of constructive suggestions. In any case i will let the phone on the charger for 24 hours and see if it helps. Also I DON'T THINK THIS IS A BOOTLOADER ISSUE!!! All worked fine.. I booted into ihackers 4 multiple times without any problems.. Also the Phone would show ANY signes of life, eg. LED RED or blinking etc..But nothing
ALSO:
"..you did not followed the instructions and you unlocked with Flashtool which probably did not do his job right."
In the "getting started" thread of z1 it is suggested to use the flashtool! And like i said .. it finished successfully..

Ok, If you are so sure then Ok, but still weird, as I follow different instruction and never had a problem then people do on they way and later have problems. It can be a coincidence and maybe is not your case, but sometime thinking easy can compromise the whole process.
I flashed different patches on mine Kernel I kill my phone few times and mine was completely dead, no led nothing, but it boot into Flashmode or Fastboot, you have somehow go in that mode and flash again, this is the only soft solution.
If you will not be able to do so then you have to go with the Test Pins, open your back cover and try to resurrect it, the hard way.

I don't understand what went wrong. After flashing the Kernel and Baseband the flashtool said everything went fine eand restarted the device. It turned off and nothing since then. I cant even get into flashboot or flashmode. It feels likt the accu is broken because there is nothing happening whatever i do. I think there is no power. I will not open the device because i still have 2 years of waranty (i hope they repair it as waranty case, if i am lucky) Else I will pay for the repair. We'll see. If this is an accu failure it should be a waranty case.
I had it for about 8 hours on the charger without any signs of "life" in the "machine". Sometimes i feel like trowing it against a wall to see if it reanimates it... But i can keep myself from doing it. =)
We'll see..

probably stupid guess: maybe ur phone just stucked on something and may not be completely switched off??
press vol+ and power button, see if ut vibrates 3 times
if it does, congrats an flash kernel again

If not then its Sony's problem probably a faulty device. Send warranty and don't mention bootloader, root or ROM.

HAve you recently unlocked bootlader unofficially?

Yes, I have tried and the same, I unlocked months ago... Sometimes it connects (few minutes), I have tried to clean saved networks, wipe Google , recover WiFi from titanium backup... Now it is in authentication problem...

Maybe I have lost WiFi modules...

That's exactly what I thought and that's why I have asked you about your bootloader status. At times, you can lose your bluetooth and wifi while unlocking the bootloader which is more common if you unlock it unofficially. So if you can recall, when exactly the problem started. How long after you unlocked your bootloader ?
You say by reverting back to stock, it has not helped ? How did you revert back to STOCK. Try using Sony companion to repair your phone. That might help.
If that doesnot work, try relocking your bootloader on stock and see
Well, at times weirdest things seem to work!
I suggest flash STOCK which is device specific. i understand there is variation in Xperia Z models and thus I suggest you use the one which is device specific and report back,
By the way, is any Sony Care centre near your place ?

I don't think it is because of unlocking because was officially and I have being using and changing ROMs and there wasn't any problem.
Maybe it could be when I flashed cm-12.1 (RR ROM). Then, I flashed stock one with flash tool to fix my WiFi, is there any different with companion? I can't go to Sony I am travelling in few days, and I need a phone soon!!!

The only reason I'm referring you to Sony companion is that it might fix the issue as it is official way to do it.

Dispatch it to a sony centre and they would certainly repair it for a small price

Can you give me the wifi module and tell me in what folder I have to copy it?

I am afraid I do not own an Xperia Z . I actually answer questions that no one answers in different forums.
I wish I could be of more help in this regard. Sometimes relocking your bootloader with flashtool helps as well.

Notice that I was on kitkat 4.4.4 then I flashed lollipop 5.0.2, wiped the data and still can't connect to wifi or activate tethering

I sent it to Sony technicians and they wanted me to pay 130 € to fix the "electric issues" so there my XZ is without WiFi forever, I guess. Sorry mate.
