[Q] Bricked V - LT25i - Need Help

hello,
i was trying to add scripts to init.d for increasing the ram capability and after doing everything i rebooted the phone. After sometime found that phone did not got booted. Blank screen and no led indication. Removed the battery, tried for fastboot mode, flash mode and combination keys nothing helped, no vibration, no led and nothing even after connected with charger. When i removed the battery and connected charging cable with battery not inserted, the red led indication is getting flashed and it happens everytime i do so.
I kept it in charging using normal charger came with device for more than 4 hours, still no indication and nothing. When i rebooted the phone for last time(before the prob happened) battery was around 60%.
Device : LT25i / Xperia V
Unlocked Bootloader
Kernel: FXP
Rom: CM10.1 RC2
Suggest me what to do, either to wait for red led indication or do some other trick or take it to Sony (mine is out of warranty, i purchased it from another country).
Thanks

anyone to help or have faced similar issue.
when i connect the device to computer, under device manager (running windows) i get unknown devices. under unknown devices it shows "QHSUSB_DLOAD". I googled about this. and found htc guys able to unbrick the devices using this mode in linux. Any idea or suggestions with this bricked V

Yes, i have a nandroid backup of device(before modding). but how i can restore it. I can neither boot into recovery as device doesnt respond for any key press nor flash with flashtool as device is not going into flashmode / fastboot mode.
I found the drivers for QHSUSB_DLOAD from google and installed.
After this if i pull out my battery and connect the device to computer back with battery or without, windows recognize the device as "Zeus Flash Device" under USB ports. Then i tried SUS, device not found, tried PC companion update software service, it found the device and it shows "phone/tablet is being installed" then after 2-3 secs it again says "pc companion not able to connect to phone/tablet, please disconnect and connect again" . Then i start from update and same thing happens.
Before installing those drivers in windows the pc companion update service was just struck at step 2 i.e connect your device, it cannot detect but after driver installation it detects but fails immediately. any other step or I am doing it wrong
Thanks for your reply.

Try this.
Pull the battery out and wait one minute.
Then charge it with your wall charger for a couple of hours.
Then, attach in flashmode, but do it this way.
Hold down volume down button, keep it pressed and attach usb.
Then before letting go if the volume down button press the power button.
Phone should vibrate, then let go. You should be in flashmode

i went to sony service center. but they are not providing support for this device in my locality, they are asking me to go to another city and they are not sure about that to as this device is not launched here and i am about to join my vessel (im a mariner) in next week, so seeking sony service will not yield me anything in correct time.So i have to try myself hard, so expecting guidelines from you
yes i pulled off the battery and waited for around 10 mins and put the battery back in the mobile and kept in charging using the wall charger came with the sony box.
certain doubts i have...
* will i get any led indications while charging or on connecting in flashmode after charging for couple of hours?
* will charger or phone gets heated up due to charging as usually it does ( because i kept it in charging for last 1/2 hour ,after removing and putting back the battery but there is no change in temperature on both device and charger)
* actually yesterday(when got bricked) i firstly removed the battery just for around 5-10 seconds and put it back and no effect on screen nor with connectivity so i kept under charging for the whole night but nothing happened. so i want to ask is pulling off the battery out 1 min or more does matters something?

Have you tried following my advice yet?
Please do that and then give me comments on what the phone does.

yeah im following, in half the way.
phone is on charging for last one hour ill wait a hour more and try the flash mode trick as said by you.

no improvement,
i removed battery from phone and waited for 5 mins and inserted it back. Then kept phone with battery inserted, charged using wall charger for around 2 hours. Then tried going into flashboot by pressing and holding vol down button and inserted the USB cable and after that keep holding vol down button and pressed the power button also but no vibration and no LED.
i again kept phone under wall charge...

ok
it may be a completely flat battery.
charge with a wall charger for 24 hours. Do not touch it all in this time.

But i doubt whether battery is getting charged by phone or not, no heat dissipation. Phone, battery, charger all are at room temperature.
Anyhow im not going to touch it for 24 hours and will see what happens.

device was getting charged for last 12 hours and still under charging without any interruption.
no led and still at room temperature..

Do you use the charger that was given with your phone? Sinds when has this happend? How long do you have the phone? What's the last thing you did with it? This is information we need. Please remind this for in your future posts.

Yes i am using the charger came with my device. It happened exacty 38 hours before.
i own my device from start of this year, i purchased it on new year from singapore.
last thing i did before got bricked was swap partition script in init.d for ram expansion.
i entered wrong partition script.

Code:
if [ -n /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 ];
then mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk1p2;
fi;
if [ -e /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 ];
then echo 60 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness;
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p2;
fi;
this was the script i entered.

no indication of led after 26 hours of charging on wall charger and again i tried to connect the usb as you mentioned in earlier post to go into flashmode. nothing helped.
do you have any idea about using QPST with Xperia V for flashing. I googled and found 'QPST is the only tool available to communicate with this HQSUSB_DLOAD device'.
But any further advice on un bricking is welcomed. Otherwise im in trouble, have to seek sony help from the country where i purchased.

guys im still waiting for your help...

Sorry I have not got back.
Nit sure what to do here as I am away from home.
My only other suggestion week be to uninstall all Sony software from your laptop and try again after reinstalling it again, especially the drivers

Xperia Z Dead??

Hi.
So I deleted gmail apk and put inverted gmail apk in system apps. Powered off the phone. Tried to power it back on, nothing happens.
Battery was almost full, about 95%. If I hold power button (tried for like 30secs) nothing happens. No LED, no vibrate, screen is black non-stop.
I also tried power& VOL-, power& VOL+, power & both volume... Nothing.
If I plug it into USB cable from PC, nothing. If I plug in the mains charger, nothing.
Tried holding VOL- (and later VOL+) and plug in USB cable from PC to get into download mode, nothing. Flashtool doesn't see the device.
What the HELL just happened? And what can I do?

JUST DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE SERVICE FROM SONY , CHOOSE YOUR DEVICE AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION AND MAYBE IT WILL GET YOUR PHONE WORK .
UPDATE SERVICE LINK
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/

Tried Sony Update Service, also PC Companion and flashtool.. The phone appears to be completely dead, like the battery is empty or not even connected. I don't think it's possible that the battery is empty since it had 95% of power when I switched the phone off..
Now that I think about it, it might be possible, that I turned the phone off, didn't wait for it to vibrate and immediately tried to turn it back on.. Does this somehow put the phone in "hard off mode" or something? I mean I'm just guessing here, because I really have no idea what to do :crying:

Hold power button plus volume until u feel 3 vibrates either the phone will come back on or at least u should be able to connect it to the pc opinion.

if your computer does not recognize your phone or vice versa your phone is hard brick (reinstall sony driver just to be sure), no other way to revive it unless you can get into recovery.

I had the same problem this morning. Itwas on charge overnight from the GPO and this morning, Nothing.
I tried two things. One was the update as suggested here (which is happening as I speak) and the other was to hold the button and the lower volume switch. I was doing these concurrently, with it plugged into my laptop and something worked. THANKFULLY.
I only got the phone about three weeks ago and this is the second time something like this has happened. First time it was totally dead and I had it swapped one for one. Worst part was I had spent some time updating my phone list etc which was subsequently lost (making me think I was working on my phone memory not the sim....)
I've just updated my NFC firmware, whatever that is, and it has gone into sleep mode. But at least it's working.
My longwinded explanation preceeds a short question.
Is this a common occurence with the Xperia Z?
My wife has exactly the same model only exception being hers is white, mine black. She has had no probs. Knew I shoulda gone the white one.

you have to wait at least 30 sec until you switch it on .leave the phone on the charger atleast for 3 hours try to uninstall and reinstall sony drivers . and then try to flash a stock rom using a flash tool

OK, the phone has been charging overnight (no led indication, charger was cold, so was the phone, so I doubt it's even been charging) about 10 hours. Reinstalled drivers, PC Companion, Update service and flashtool.
I tried these 4 options with 3 different variables (for 12 total combinations) 30 seconds each.
1) No cables connected
2) Mains charger connected
3) USB cable from PC connected:
hold [PWR] 30 secs
hold [PWR] + [VOL-] 30 secs
hold [PWR] + [VOL+] 30 secs
hold [PWR] + [VOL-] + [VOL+] 30 secs
After that, I also tried connecting the phone to USB cable to PC, each time with only 1 open program. First with flastool, then PC Companion, then Update Service with 3 different variables (for a total of 9 combinations). 30 seconds each:
without pressing/holding any buttons
hold [VOL+] while connecting
hold [VOL-] while connecting
Also tried a different USB port and cable, but it's 100% not the PC/drivers/USB cable.
No matter what I tried, nothing happened. Screen on the phone is dead all the time, LED light is dead, no vibrations, no sounds, nothing. Also when trying the PC connected options, no sounds, indications of drivers installing/failing, no activity in my computer, NOTHING on PC.
Are there any more options to try? Or must I send the phone in for repair?
And once again, does anyone know if turning off the phone and NOT waiting for it to vibrate and immediatelly trying to turn it back ON, somehow causes this "dead phone"?

No more ideas? Am I the first one to have this issue?

Seems like you have tried every known possible way to revive it, I think its time you sent it to Sony to have it fixed... I doubt anyone else can help you from here... Good luck.

I'm afraid to send it because I rooted the phone and my country service centres are known to deny warranty repairs for pretty much any reason they can find.. Sometimes they even make up something.. That's why I was hoping I could somehow fix it.. But yeah, seems there is no way I can do it, so I will have to send it in. Will report what happened.

To be fair, if it wont show on computer or boot up, short of them fixing it then checking, there is no way for them to see it has been rooted?
Xperia Z

That should be correct, but thats exactly what im afraid of. Lets say the battery died for instance. They replace it boot up the phone see its rooted and send me a bill. I hope this wont happen, we shall see..

Pff, you think technicians are gonna bother opening superuser app to check for root?

I sure hope they wont. Phone has been picked up by delivery service today, that means it will arrive in repair centre by friday, and that means they will start looking at it next week maybe wednesday. Then before they figure out whats wrong, order parts and all, about 2-3 weeks and I can report what was wrong.

Got the phone back today. No idea what they did, no detailed description only "reset of program module SL4". Anyways, phone is working, I didn't have to pay anything, so all is good!:angel:

[Q] Bricked SP

Hi everyone.
My SP doesn't want to turn on anymore for a unknown reason. When plugging it to the pc\charger the red led appears and then disappears. Non of the tips (power + vol. plus, power + vol. minus) doesn't work.
Please, help. If your suggestion will help, I'll pay you.

How did this happen?? Try this pull out the back panel and press the reset button with a pin and hold the power button and see what happens
Also you may try this install Sony PC companion This will install all the correct drivers for the phone then take usb cord Holding volume Down And Plug it to the phone. If all goes well the led at the bottom should glow green

I had a similar issue and after 4 days of trying all what i could find out in XDA for bricked Xperia phones my SP is back alive.
For me it happened during flashing (with Flashtool 0.9.11) the stock firmware .257 with to less battery power.
Short Info to my phone when it happened
Sony Xperia SP C5303
Kernel: Dooms v01 (i do not think that this was the problem!)
Bootloader: unlocked
Stock firmware from C5302 version .284
System: deodexed and rooted
When i say flashing i did it always with flashtool because PC Companion and SUS did not recognize my phone at all (with locked bootloader).
My SP was behaving as following.
- When i put the wall charger on the phone nothing happened no lights nothing same if plugged in to the computer.
- If i pressed the power button unconnected the LED flashed red 3 times all the time,
after a while nothing happened anymore (which gave me the indication that the battery is completely empty)
- If i pressed the power button continuous during charging (wall/computer) the red light turned on until i released the power button.
When pressing the Power button long enough during i was connected to the computer the green light turned on and i was in flash mode.
But only for maximum 2 min. This was enough to flash all firmware parts except the system.sin (at ~80 % phone disconnected).
And this was the problem my SP stayed dead.
Before someone asks, standard connecting while pressing the volume down for flash mode or volume up for fastboot mode didn't work.
Now i tryed all:
- Left the phone on the wall charger without doing anything -> nothing
- Left the phone on the computer without doing anything -> nothing
- Left the phone on the wall charger/computer while pressing the power button continuous (did it with a tape) -> nothing except that it went in flash mode and red light again all the time
Now my last try (i was reading this in an X10 thread):
I plugged the phone more than 7 hours to the computer while pressing the volume down button continuously (again taped).
Next morning it first looked like that this also did not work.
But as i disconnected the phone from the computer and plugged in again the red light stayed on.
Ok give it a try i thought and i put the phone to my wall charger for 1 hour or so also here the red light was glowing continuous now.
And yeah i could connect the phone to the computer in the normal way volume down than usb and i was in flash mode.
I was now able to flash the complete stock firmware. After again putting the phone to the wall charger for 1 hour the system was booting :victory: .
And now i saw the problem battery charge in status bar showed 1 % but the firmware start up check showed 55 % .
I remember that i did wipe the battery stats in recovery before all that happened.
No idea if this caused the problem.
However i could now charge my phone and it is still alive relocked and on stock.
Hope this helped and good luck.

To prevent other people from this bad situation i tried to remember exactly what caused the drain of the battery to 0%.
Battery was on 25% at start. (I know this was stupid, i was too impatient as dooms v16 and cwm for locked bootloaders were released :silly
1.I started with trying to update my mobile to stock with PC Companion and SUS,
without thinking about that this will not work with unlocked bootloader. -> first battery drain
2. Got stock FTF for .257 (c5303) and wanted to flash it which did not work got errors always.
My SP was connected flashmode on my notebook a long time while i was trying to fix that (reading XDA, driver config etc).
Several times tried to flash without success.
-> drain, drain and more battery drain not thinking about that i started with only 25%.
3. Gave up on my notebook and connected my phone to the Desktop PC (here the config was ok i knew that from flashing before on that computer).
Meanwhile i assume that my battery was already close to completely empty.
As the flash of the FTF (all parts) started my phone turned off and was "dead", i do not remember on which sin it turned off.
The whole time 1. 2. 3. i never booted i always stayed disconnected or in flashmode.
And than the mess began which i posted in my previous post.

So my SP is officially dead. Need to replace to motherboard.

You should keep pressing that button till your phone's screen goes black and vibrates 3 times if it doesn't do that then either the mobo is dead or the button is broken!
well... that's why I kinda hate sony why not do like most makes do (Like iphone, htc, samsung etc just long press the power button to reset the damn thing! It gets really annoying to keep pulling my case and back cover off and then putting a pencil in that tiny hole in public :/)

watch?v=daNue2RsUbY ( video of my phone with the fading logo )
had the same problem with mines ( i manage to record this fading logo part )
hours later after the record my phone won't even turn on and it only shows that red light popping up when i press the power button
i brought it to sony's service center here and they replaced the battery, that managed to fix it <3

For me pressing the back off button and volume + button force it to fastboot mode. From there just flash a kernel and it is fixed.

which kernel???

[Q] sudden death syndrome

I left my sony xperia z for charge with 11% battery left and when I came back to check the phone was gone. I thought it was switched off
and when I tried turning it back on again, nothing happened. The boot loader is locked and neither the phone has ever been rooted. I've tried charging it for 24 hours nothing happened, I tried the hard reset (power + volume up button) nothing happened. I've also opened its back cover and took out its battery but still nothing happened. Please help. Can I enter the phone via sdk tool kit

You shouldn't have opened the phone.... this voids your warranty.... I hope you glued it back on correctly....
Try to put a rubberband across the device, so that the power button AND vol up are pressed permamently.
If this doesn't work and you can't see that it was opened send it to sony for repair

Hold volume Up while connecting the phone to your pc. When the led turns blue you may get a chance to do some work.

Okay I'll try that but I don't think that's going to work since it's not charging or doing anything. you know. The blue LED is not coming on either. And we dont have sony warranty here in Pakistan, so yeah. Lol! And even connecting the cable with the computer does not help recognize the device.

My method should force your phone to charge

A friend bought an xperia z, and he faced of sudden death, 4 month later. This appear when the phone shuts down whit 0% battery and the phone NEVER wake up, no led, nothing.
- I put the phone on charge 24h/24h ... nothing happen.
- I test all combination of hardware button and I've got a blister on my hand ... nothing happen.
He can't send back in warranty because i root and instal omni rom.
And i don't have 3zx box for perhaps wake up the phone.
My only way is open the phone... when the phone's open i unplug the battery and i wait one hour, after this i connect via usb the phone to my pc (whit the battery unplug!) and miracle the phone boot on bootloader whit the blue led. Then i disconnect the phone to pc, i plug the battery and i connect the phone via usb on my pc and ... the phone boot normally whit red led and stay in charge. He lost waterproof but the phone still alive(since 3 month) without any problem:victory:.
It's a shame, for me this seem's to be a badly planned obsolescence ...

[Q] My sony xperia sp wont turn on, dead probably?!

Hi guys! First of all, sorry for my english, its not my native language.
Yesterday my phone turned off because battery was too low. I put on charge for the whole night. Today when i waked up, i want to turn on my phone after disconnected from charge, but its wont turn on, just red light flash 3 times. I returned to charge but still cant turn on. Sometimes i got the sony logo, then i see the battery icon on screen, but still cant turn in. I have searched on the forums, and maybe its get bricked. I tried to connect the phone to pc, but sony companion and flashtool cant even recognize the device, but my pc see it as unknown device.
What can i do now?
Pls help guys! :crying:
ps: my phone running with cm11

It doesn't go to flashtool mode? If you have drivers properly installed, it should go to flashtool mode. Make sure drivers are ready and then connect USB cable to the phone and not to the PC. Hold down volume down and then connect to the PC. Green light should turn on. It means your phone is in flashtool mode. Flashtool will recognize it. Flash the ftf file. (If it is not happening, remove the back cover press power off button with pen or something until it vibrates three times. That will turn the phone off and then retry)
If you run into any sort of error, fee free to post here!
Happy flashing!

Download Ubuntu latest version from ubuntu.com and make bootable usb(I use powerISO for making bootable USB). Rest will be simple. Do it. I'll tell you later. You'll have to edit a file and install JAVA and run flashtool. Simple and straight!

Dont make it hard...
Let it recharge for at least 24 hrs (comment from Sony)
After that try again..
@up: How do you think it will work on Linux when even Windows cant recognise the phone? Bit pointless if you ask me..

Thank you guys for helping, it seems just my charger is broken. I get another from my friend, and after a hour charge my phone started!
It seems everything okay now, i not need to flash or start a recovery, just need an another charger
Thank you guys for your help!

Actually, I was suggesting Linux because many users run into trouble while installing drivers on windows 8 or later. It was very simple on Ubuntu that's why I was suggesting it. And phone doesn't go to flashtool mode or fastboot mode unless proper drivers are installed.

Your problem has been discussed over and over again, meaning the answer to your question can be found using the search function.
Search for "bootloop".

I have simillar problem. I have CM11 installed for half a year now and everything was great. Yesterday my phone freezed and turn the screen off, after one minute it restared by itself and freezed again. After that it reboot by itself one more time freeze on the desktop and died forever.
hardreset on back side not working (i try to hold it down for 20 sec+ ). When i plug it in charger led turns red (i had it on charger for 8 hours and it is still red light and phone is dead).
PC companion cant connect to phone, flashtool can't connect, ubuntu can't connect. I will now connect it directly to PC and wait for few hours, but i am not sure if this will work. When the phone goes dead it was on charger with around 25% battery. Any idea what else to try?

Try an charger with more Ampere. I solved that problem charging with the ipad charger....

The best i can do is 1 Amp with car charger (from Plantronics, so i believe it is 1 amp). But still nothing after 1 hour
stronger charger i can't find. Any other idea? The phone is still dead. No vibrating, no detecting from PC only red led light when i start charging it. I am sure shutdown didn't happened because battery was empty, before it freezed it had 13% and then it was at 25% when it died (i was on call) that is why i know this.
