My sony had 70% when I went to sleep, when I woke up it was dead. I pluged it to the charger for few hours and it would not turn on. I have started searching online and now I want to flash it with Flashtool. The problem is when I connect my phone to PC you can hear the windows sound of the device being disconnected every 5 sec and on the device the red light turns on for few sec and goes back off back on for few sec and off all the time while doing so you can hear the windows sound of disconnecting the device. I am not able to flash it with flashtool as it gives me an message error that the device was disconnected and the flashing is aborted. Please help.
I have tried everything to switch it back on power + vol u power +vol d red restart button. The device switch it self on twice today. Once it was stocked on the xperia loading screen and wen off and the second time it showed the battery charging when connected to the laptop (it was 77%)
Wierd
Now when I try to flash it, it says that the device does not recognize the connection error 22
Any help?

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.
put it into charger and leave it charging for like 1-2 hours, also remove sim and sd card

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 :/)

please let me know, mate!!
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???
Well my GF had a lot of trouble with this phone, we replaced the battery 3 times due to them failing. Anyway I updated it to official 4.3 for her and left it totally stock, no root or anything. All was well for a few days. One night we left it charging, when we woke up it was still pretty dead. She used it for about 5 mins then it died, now it won't charge or switch on! Got it charging offline but still didn't take any juice. Flashed in flashmode several times, now if I connect to anything it goes straight into flashmode and still won't charge! I bought her a galaxy s2 for now but is there anything we can do? Is it possible it needs yet another new battery?
Just to add I tried all the fixes such as leave it on charge, remove battery, button combo etc. When it does "charge" it doesn't take any charge
Sent while my supervisor wasn't looking
Try replacing the battery again and if this happens again it is definitely a hardware problem

I don't want to start a new thread, so I will post it here. My Xperia T is a dead phone in the moment and I was searching the web and of course xda to find a fix (like for Xperia Z).
How it happened: Yesterday my phone was working like a charm with CM11. I wanted to sell it and so I was trying to flash a stock rom. The flashing aborted with error every single time (Processing system.sin). I was able to flash all the .sin except for system.sin
After the phone was a soft brick I could enter fastboot/flashmode and flash the kernel from CM11 and install it without any problems.
I tried several times to flash stock until my phone bricked. Now it is charging and nothing happens, no fastboot, no flashmode, no sign of life. Only when the battery is detached the LED flashes one time (red) when cable is connected
Edit: The phone was able to go in flashmode but after few seconds it disconnected, in reconnected in flashmode. Also the phone is now recognized by the computer as "qhsusb-dload"
Edit Update: When I connect the phone to the computer an press Vol+ and Power Button for a longer time, the LED turn on (red color) and the qhsusb-dload disappears from device manager. After 2-3 seconds the LED turns of and the device manager shows qhsusb-dload again.
Now I have connected the phone to wall charger with a rubber band on the power button and sometimes the red LED turns on and stays for a few seconds
Hi everyone!
4 days ago i washed my phone for about 10 seconds, phone worked normally. After 1 hour i saw water went into both front and back camera. I got out all flaps and after some hours cameras were functional again. After even more hours buttons started to act weird. Sometimes power button wasn't working, sometimes volume up was acting like power button and so on. I tried to restart the phone, sometimes it went into safe mode(probably volume button was pressed by itself). Finally I couldn't start the phone at all(perhaps the power button stopped working at all).
After that i calmed down and put my phone into rice(hoping that would absorb water if any). After 24 hours i had no luck. When i had connected my phone to computer, the led was red, phone vibrated 3 times and then again and again.
Next step was to open the phone( removing the back with a hairdryer), took out the battery and trying to dry the phone with hairdryer. Still no succes. When connecting to PC and start flashtool, my phone wasn't recognised. I installed Sony Update Service (SUS) and then when i connected my phone i heard that sound you often hear when connecting a new device to an USB port. Now my phone is seen by flashtool, but it's always in fastbootmode. I even flashed CWM and it worked.
The problem is that it seems volume up is pressed always so i can't enter in flashmode to flash 4.4.2, it always goes into fastboot.
When on battery the phone is dead at all. Still when i try to charge the phone, it starts, displays Sony logo then shows that it's charging (at first that battery was empty but after 2 hours it got full charged). If i press power button it shutdown.
To resume, when on battery nothing happens( the battery could be dead). When plugged to wall charger the phone starts charging( so battery could work). Power button does nothing at all when on battery, but works when phone is charging or when connected to PC in fastboot.
If anyone had any idea what I could do I would be very appreciative. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me.Thank you very much for your support!

Even if i down't press anything, just connect the phone to usb, led is blue, that means it's in fastboot mode...so i think volume up is stuck, pressed.

or the volume pcb might have shorted
Please remember this for the rest of your life:
When you notice that water has went into your device.... TURN IT THE F OFF AND LET TIT DRY...
Using it while it's wet from the inside is really bad.
Update Guys
Today I've replaced that yellow connector that contains power, vol up and vol down buttons. I managed to enter flashmode and flashed the newest official rom .233. Power button and vol up work like charm, vol down is dead.
The problem is that my phone is stuck on safe mode(probably because vol down is stuck). I want to know if there's any solution to get rid of this safe mode. I read somewhere that changes can be made to the kernel so that vol down will be disabled for ever. If you know any ROM, any mod, whatever that disables the vol down button i'll appreciate your help.
Hi wonderful XDA forums, i'm an italian user, then sorry for my bad english.
I'm in a very strange situation, the new year starts strange for me.
Yesterday trying to short circuit the resistor to make the vibration works again( i read on internet and i see that works with other Xperia Z), the phone power down and won't boot anymore.
The strange things appears now, when i plug the usb cable for charge the phone, nothing appear, no LED, but if i disconnect the battery with the USB cable plugged-in the led blink red one time then blink a second time and become blue, and if i press volume down immediately afer the first led red blink, the led become green for 1 sec and the phone go in Download Mode.
When i use original Sony charger same situation, but when i disconnect the battery the led blink red 1 time and stays on and the phone shows SONY logo but immediately reboots go in a bootloop like this, red 1 time and stays on and the phone shows SONY logo but immediately reboots, i noticed that if i press power button several times after the SONY logo i can see the low battery icon but if stop to press the button the screen goes off and restart the bootloop describes upper.
I try several wall charger, and several cables oviusly the original SONY USB cable and wall charger, but nothing change, the battery is new and works because i test it with another phone.
Connecting to PC i can flash rom ftf with FlashTool without errors, but at the end of the process the phone won't boot, and won't charge same problems.
I noticed that the phone can't be recognise if the battery is connected, just when i disconnect the battery the phone go in fastboot mode or in download mode, for example when i flash a new ROM with flashtool when ask to connect the phone i must disconnect the battery and press volume down (in this way the PC recognise the phone, and the phone go in download mode) then i can connect or left disconnect the battery, anyway the flash operation would be OK but nothing change.
Sometimes when i connect the phone to PC the system ask me for QHSUBS_DLOAD drivers and sometimes the phone is recognised with SOMC FLASH....
I know this is a very bad situation, only Xperia Guru's can help me, but probably this phone is dead.
But I trust in XDA Community and i know that is the only place i can get serious and valid reply
Regards Samuel
this sounds exactly like what happened to me
This is extremely weird this happened on the same day... ?
Hi friends, welcome to soft brick world i think.. But i m happy and unhappy that i am not the only one in this weird situation..:silly:
"short circuit the resistor to make the vibration works again" thank god I didn't try it.. otherwise I'd end up with dead device
Hello, my xperia z bricked suddenly while I was gonna flash a stock rom with flashtool (I used flashtool many times before). I just turned off my phone and then prepared flashtool to flash stock rom (kitkat). When flashtool said to connect the phone in flashmode, I just press the volume down button (while turned off) and connect the phone with pc. But nothing happens then. Phone doesn't response. Pc/flashtool couldn't detect my phone and also my phone doesn't response. No led light, no vibrations (holding volume up+power button for 5/10 seconds), no led indicator while charging. Nothing. Just died suddenly :crying:
Then I dissembled my phone and disconnected the battery connector from motherboard. Then I connected it again and plugged my phone to wall charger and charge my phone (no led light appeared that time while charging, phone just heated up) around 20+ hours. After that I got a red led light whenever I plug my phone into pc or wall charger. But the red led turns off after around 30 seconds. From then, whenever I connect the phone to wall charger or pc, red led appears and after around 30/60 seconds, it disappears again. I don't understand what does that mean So,
1. is it hard bricked or soft bricked?
2. is there really any chance to fix that problem by myself? I unlocked bootloader so there is no chance that sony will fix that 'brick' phone.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks guys.
You can try s1tool to flash your Bootloader.... Search the forum, u can follow the tutorial.... There might be a hope
