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.

Wont turn on, change and reboot. HELP!!!

Three hours ago I was just using my XZ to look up something for GTA V and then I pressed the power button. After playing for about 30 mins, I tried to press the power button and it wont turn on. So I tried rebooting it but nothing happens. I charged it for about an hour and still nothing happen and the LED doesnt being light up. When I press the power button + volume up I could feel the vibrate and if I keep on continuing on hold both button i will feel it vibrate for three times. While Im charging it, the phone doesnt cool down like it stays warm. I just got this phone on September. Help please!!!
EDIT: I also tried connecting it on my PC but my PC doesnt even detect it. I wanted for 30 mins while it's plugged in and nothing happens

How do I do that?

First of all, when you repair your phone with Sony Update service, you will lose all your data!!!
- Charge your phone for 2 to 3 hours, you will only see the black screen but, it should charge.
- Download Sony Update Service, install and open.
- Choose XZ in the list.
- Plug in the data cable in your computer.
- Press and hold POWER and VOL+ button, phone will vibrate once, keep holding both buttons and you will feel 3 vibrations. Now, immediately press and hold the VOL- DOWN(-) button and plug in the data cable into your phone. Your phone should get detected by SEUS and then just repair it. If it doesn't get detected, try again.
Hope this helps

You are saying that when you are powering on the phone there is a red color going on the led....
Leave it to the charger for a while(couple hours) and it should work..

First disconnect everything from phone and then press power+volume up button untill 3 vibration then connect charger overnight then try to turn it on next morning...

As I can see
Your volume up button( or maybe down) is stok
Try press them many times in order to fix them.
Then try to turn on your phone again

Is it completely dry and if it is then do you see sony logo or blue led notification?if sony logo shows up try flashing stock ftf via flash tool
And if blue notification then try to unblock volume up button i thing it is stuck so it puts your phone to fastboot mode when connected to pc hence blue led and when you try to turn on your phone without connecting to pc it hard reset your phone hence three vibration and phone shuts down...
Try unblocking volume up button by pressing hard volume up button many times then connecting to pc until there is no blue light turning on...and after unblocking the button try flashing stock ftf via flash tool...
Be careful not to press it too hard or you will damage your phone..!!
Get phone working again and get it replaced if under warranty to avoid future problems...

Hello, I have similar problem with my Z1. One day it just stopped. I was filming something and when I was done I putted my phone in the pocket. When I got home tried to wake my phone up but nothing happened. Tried different ways to hard reset (every key combination that were suggested in the forums) but nothing worked. When I connect the charger only the orange led light is blinking and it doesn't do anything. When I connect the phone to the PC I can hear the sound of connected device but in a second or two it disconnects and connects again and that goes again and again.
I tried the suggestion that vicmam said but it didn't work.
Pls are there any other suggestions?
P.S. When I press Vol up + Power the phone doesn't vibrate as everyone is saying it should. The phone vibrates 3 times only if it's connected to the magnetic charger and I press those keys. But still nothing changes.

Press and hold red hard reset button for 15-20 seconds and then leave phone for 24+ hours then try to connect charger. You will see faint red notification led glow.
Works for me everytime give it a try..[emoji106]

Open the back of the phone up disconnect battery with usb charger connected then plug battery back in. This works for me.

hi my phone is not turning on i put it on the charge for 6 hrs the red light is still on and i tried to let it vibrate it didnt work either what should i do ??

Press power button only and HOLD IT WITH SELLOTAPE around the phone. Leave it for a few hours and soon it will begin to charge again. It sounds stupid but read this in a forum somewhere and it works every time!
