i was installing eXistence rom v3.5.0 and while installation was about to finish as my battery was low the phone went off and since then wont turn on.
when i charge it the red LED turns on and when i remove from charging the led stays on for a bit and then goes off ..
and phone wont go into flash mode .
please help urgent :crying:
are you able to get into fastboot/bootloader mode (+ Volume key and connect usb), if so try this http://www.blinkenlights.ch/ccms/android/yuga-l.html do not install gapps yet, make sure you can charge your battery first.
Do a fresh installation with flash tool using ftf file. u have soft bricked the phone. but you are able to enter into flashmode.
hope this works!!
Edit: if you see a led light on the phone then i think you can enter into flash mode. if you are on windows 8 there may be driver issues of flashmode. what happens when you try to connect in flashmode??

When I plug the phone into my computer or a wall outlet and hold the UP volume button the LED flashes red then turns blue. It stays blue.
When I plug the phone into my computer or a wall outlet and hold the DOWN volume button the LED flashes red then green then the LED turns off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

When I get to step 6 nothing happens. it's like I can't get into Flashmode. It just repeats connect your device. No matter how many times I do it or how long I hold the button. It's not recognizing the device. PC companion doesnt recognize it either.

Yes. I broke the charger connector thing in the phone. I had it repaired and it was working. I honestly think the place that repaired it messed with the phone to get more money out of me.
They fixed it and when I took it, once it ran out of battery it started to do the same thing again. I cant figure out what it is.

it seems that they didnt fix your phone at all. I suggest you go to a more reliable store or even if there is one near you to a sony repair store

VOL UP (Blue LED) is fastboot. This is working . Thats a good thing.
1. Turn the Handy off
2. Press and hold VOL+UP
3. Connect the cable
4. Wait till the LED is blue and take your fingers from the phone
The display will indicates nothing in this mode.. It's normal.
Now you can Download TWRP Recovery for C6603.
Have you got an open bootloader.
which rom you wanted to install? stock? custom?
1. Download the boot-twrp-v2.img from (please take the right version for your phone):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...t/recovery-stable-twrp-2-4-3-0-touch-t21821122. Make your PC available for adb+fastboot:
http://www.android.gs/install-android-sdk-adb-windows/
&
http://www.chip.de/downloads/Minimal-ADB-and-Fastboot_62500183.html3. Go in folder with "fastboot.exe"
4. Press "Shift+Mouse-Right-Click"
5. "open command windows here"
6. C:\Flashtool\adb>fastboot.exe flash boot boot-twrp-v2.img
Go in Recovery and wipe/factory reset (or flash a new rom, ...)
Should work. Good Luck.

your solution is not going to help because its a hardware problem and pc companion wont help since the phone wont even boot up
in a similar (or worse) problem :
was just using the phone when it hangs .. Instead being smart and patient, I tried to hard-reset it .. the screen goes dark, my android wear disconnect .. but then I literally got nothing ..
tried to put it to the cradle, connect the USB to computer, no lights, nothing
fastboot mode : volume up + connect USB, no lights, nothing
hold power button : no lights, nothing ..
the phone feels cold, so the procs seems to be sleeping ...
any ideas ?

believe me hard reset didnt do that. Either your battery died and now you need a new battery or you phone died and now you need a new phone
Hello everyone
Please somebody help. Iev been trying to fix my xperia z for a week now.
The phone not responding at all. It does not boot . And it doesn't charge when connect to adopter. But when I connect it to pc it dirctly connect to flash mode and green led not on. I used flashtool to flash new Rom but i couldn't .it gives an error when it start to flash . "loader.sin finished with errors" and abort.
I tried to flash many roms the same error.
Itried soft reset and hardrset still not working.
Thank you
Please somebody give me anything to try it.
The phone led blinking 3 Times when I press the power button. I Think because the phone battery os out of charge.tried to charge it. The led stop the phone still not working .
I removed the battery and connect the testpoint to GND and tried to write new boot because I thought phone boot is damaged. It turns out phone TA is damaged cuz iam getting this error in s1tool
MINOR ERROR [ Invalid_TA, err: 0016 ]
Anyone know how I can fix this?
just recently, I just downgrade my phone from CM11 (KitKat) to JellyBean. there's some error while flashing the rom. Im quiet sure about it. whats more important is that now my phone just cannot boot properly, when I start the phone its vibrate like always with green led and right after the SONY logo, my phone just switch off.. I cannot access anything even recovery mode. and there is one another problem, when I plug in usb, green led light shows up, later for about a minute my phone automatically boot up with RED led then just after SONY logo it switch off again, and then goes green led on back and red led comes again off right after every SONY logo, just like ON and OFF again & again..
Sorry I dont know how to describes it, and sorry for my bad english if you guys find it hard to understand. PLEASE help in this case!! Thank you in advance!
You must enter fastboot mode. Erase the boot section and flash a new boot image (.img) or a kernel .elf file.
Use the commands:
> fastboot erase boot
> fastboot flash boot boot.img or fastboot flash boot boot.elf
> fastboot reboot
After that, if the boot.img contains a recovery system, it would be installed and now you can enter recovery again and reflash your rom.
I think that any boot.img inside a CM Rom zip file have a recovery system.
Are you familiar with fastboot mode? How to enter, usage, drivers?
Please give me the instruction on using fastboot. Im not very familiar with fastboot.
How can I find the img, where to download? and how to use it.
Thanks by the way for tips, I think I've been using the wrong rom, I dont know which is the right rom to downgrade to stock.
If you want to downgrade to stock i'd recommend you to use the Flash tool for Xperia.
You can download it here => http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/
Follow these instructions => http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/
You need to do the step 4 right for it to work.
I guess it will solve your problem.
If you have any other question, just ask.
As I mention before on the previous post, the problem is every time I plug-in usb the device keep on connected and then disconnected. on and off, and booting itself with red led till the SONY logo come off its shutdown and green light appeared again. Its like not properly connecting the device.
Is that okay to go on flash mode? may it not been error before operating this?

Keep the usb connected.
When it reboots, before the sony logo appears, keep the volume down key pressed. When the light turns green, the phone entered the flash mode and you can release the volume down key. I dont know if it will reboot again. If the phone enters flash mode (green light) and reboots after that, maybe is a driver issue. In fastboot mode (volume key up + blue light) sometimes this heappens. I dont know about flash mode.
Hi Guys,
I really need your help unbrick my Xperia Z1 C902.
Here's what happened:
I tried to flash a custom rom that wasn't compatible VIA AROMA ( I had MiUi 7 custom rom ) and it is now dead. It won't boot. No sign of life. No Vibration when pressed vol up+Power . Hard reset ( via sim slot ) has no affect on the Phone. No recogniztion to USB on laptop ( tried other USB cables as well ).
I have left the phone be charged overnight assuming the flash took a toll on the battery ( it was about 30% when I flashed the phone )and in the morning there was a red LED. Assuming the battery had enougfh power I tried to turn it on, connect to Laptop, Fast boot mode, flash mode but with no luck.
Day2:
Left the phone connected to the stock charger for about 20 hours or so.
No LED lights. No vibrations. No sign of detection on the laptop.
Sony Companion will not detect my phone via fastmode as well.
This phone is out of warranty so I was hoping you can help save some bucks before I take it to the Sony centre.
I looked through XDA all day but nothing has helped me bring my phone back to life.
EDIT:
I have downloaded India Stcok ROM via Xperifirm and tried to flash it but the flashtool does not detect the phone. Fastboot and Flashmode both does not detect the phone. Strange thing is, when I plug the phone to laptop holding the Vol down button, a red LED blinks for few seconds but the fastboot does not work ( as my phone has bootloader unlocked )
ADB does not work - No devices connected.
If there is anyway I can flash or install TWRP recovery ( or any for that matter ), I have the old working MiUI rom in the external SD card.
I will owe you a beer or two and a dinner if you 're able to bring my phone back to life. Please I am desperate.

Hi.
You have flashing led that means there is some hope first press and hold hard reset button for 15-20 seconds under sim cover then realizes it. Now plug in charger and dont touch the phone before 4-5 hours. Let it charge even though red led comes on.
After that disconnect your phone and don't turn it on wait for 5 minutes.
Also do check if the flash tool drivers are properly installed (window 8 and newer needs you to disable driver signature enforcement) use flashtool version 0.9.19.0, dont know why but this version works best for me.
Flash *.108 firmware (available in xda) also do always check hash after downloading.
Now try to flash the firmware as normally we do and hope for the best. This method worked fine for me many times.
Good luck..! [emoji111]
The flashing Red LED is bringing back some really bad memories of my own Hard brick. Try what kathanpatel suggests first - holding the reset button down.
Are your symptoms identical to this?:

There is a link to a post with instructions on recovering from the hard brick. Good luck.

The red button in a sim slot won't have any effect unless your phone is connected to the charger (not computer). Connect the charger, press and hold the red button for about 10 seconds until there is vibration. Then immediately push and hold the power button for a few seconds.
hello,
have a c5303 xperia sp and im trying to re-flash the stock rom using flashtool64. the phone doesnt power on but if i hold vol up/down then plug the phone into my pc via usb the respective fastboot/flash mode led colour lights up and it pops up on my computer to confirm it. when i try flash the stock rom, is gives me a error about system.sin, since then i am not able to get into flash/fastboot modes on my phone. as this has happened before (the phone not going into fastboot) im pretty sure i can get it to flash without system.sin then use fastboot to do it after.
the screen is completely blank, not even a backlight. when the usb is plugged in without a mode, it is red on the phones led, when i unplug it and try to turn it on, the red led flashes and nothing happens.
thanks in advance!
fixed it nvm
