hi! i've bought my xperia t today
it goes well! i've connect it to my pc, and pc companion find an update and ask me if i want to update my phone
i said yes, and it tried to install the upgrade, but about the 75% it gives me an error
and from this moment the screen of my phone turns on and off every 5seconds
with a black screen with the white sony's logo and the pc doesn't recognize him and no led turns on
after about 2hours the phone turns totaly off
i've tried to turn on with the power button and the volume down hold
and the red led flashes for 3 times
if i hold down the buttons while connecting to the usb or to the charger,
the red light stays on and after about 15min it turns in to green and a black screen with sony's logo appears for about 20 minutes
but no leds are on and if i plug it to the pc or to the charger nothing happens
sometimes if i hold down the 2 buttons when i plug it to the pc the led turns on green and the SUS recognize it
and tries to upgrade system but after a few minutes the phone seems to turn off and the upgrade fails
what i have to do? probably the phone needs to be charged before being upgraded
but if i plug it (at the pc or even at the charger) with the 2 buttons holded down the red led turns on but after 15min it turns green and the sony screen appears and freeze
if i plug it without holding down the buttons no leds turns on and i'm not sure if it's really charging or not...
any sugestion? thanks

1. Have you rooted?
1a. Have you unlocked bootlaoder.
1b. What ROM where you on before the problem started?
2. What was the last thing you did to the phone before the problem started?

But why did you try to upgrade a phone out of the box?
Oh well... My suggestion is to take it back to the shop. Tell them you bought it, connected to PC, followed the prompts to install PCCompanion and then it faulted.
Soon, we will get stock .ftf's posted here that you will be able to flash in flashtool, but that sounds like a bad phone. If the fault was staright from the box, take it back.

OK, but if there is a problem with the phone, no amount of flashing will repair a bad board or a bad chip....
I will post a stock vodafone UK .ftf here this weekend, then you should be able to flash that (Using flashtool, first post in the dev section) to repair your phone. But i do advise that if your phone id faulty from the box, its a hardware issue not software..

You need to turn on usb debugging. It's under settings/developer options. Should work after that. Good luck!
obviusly i can't turn in debug mode as the phone don't turns on!
after a night plugged to the charger (no leds on)
today the phone don't do nothing...
no flashing red led when i press any button or any sequence
only turn the red led when i hold down the 2 buttons and plug the usb or the charger
but when i release them all turns off....
Have you tried a factory reset? You should be able to do it via Android stock recovery and that might rollback the corrupt upgrade.
Worth a try.
first i need to discover what you're talking about...

At the start the phone went to flashmode as i hold the volume up button , and also the soft / hard reset gave me a vibration feedback , but for some reason i had to wait a night for test to flash the stock firmaware and when i woke up the day after the phone was in the situation that i described in the first post.
Do you advise me to put the phone in charge even if the phone don't give me a feedback when i plug the charger?
Hi Kidamundi,
I've the same issue. I've tried to update my cyanogenmod 10.2 yesterday. Now the phone is dead.
I've tried the reset (power and vol+ until 3 vibrations), then I've plugged in the charger over night but the phone won't charge.
Now I've blinking red light (2 times) if I press the powerbutton.
I've no idea where is the problem ...

reanimated
Hi,
I've reanimated my phone!
First of all I've charged my Phone, but it has only worked with the rubberband on the powerbutton. After 1 hour charging I've connected the phone to flashtool and have flashed an old stock rom. After flashing my phone has booted.
But still 1 problem I have. If its powered off the phone will not charge. No red light, no animation on the screen, nothing. I think its a problem with the kernel but I don't know it. Do you have an idea?
Regards,
Tom
my xperia v
i have the same issue with my xperia v. phone won't boot. whenever i hold the power button. red led light just blinks 2x/3x. i tried taking it to a service center and they said they have to change the lcd together with the whole base. which will cost me 12,000 pesos. i bought my phone for 12,400. so i think its really stupid to have the lcd replaced. i'm gonna try what you guys did and update you if this works. good luck to us guys.
ps: when i unlocked the bootloader it did a factory reset and i think what happened is it disabled usb debugging that's why it won't turn on.
sorry for the double post guys. i really wanna fix my phone. i left it charged for at least 1 hour. i used this program called update service. it actually detected my phone but it gave me this message that reads "the phone contains modified software that cannot be updated" does my phone still have a chance? ):

i tried that. but this will only work if usb debugging is enabled. after i unlocked my bootloader. my phone restarted and it did a factory data wipe. it slipped my mind that usb debugging was disabled again.
"For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings"
Turn your phone off. Open flashtool and press BLU. Then go into flashmode (volume up while plugging usb in). You do not need usb debugging to unlock/relock bootloader via flashtool

i dunno why but it is telling me that in able to relock the bootloader. usb debugging has to be enabled.
USB DEBUGGING DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ENABLED. Just press BLU then enter flash mode. Simple as that

It will always say that message. Just unplug and start your phone. Usb debugging is only used if you want to root or automatically restart into fasboot

Red light blinking is because your phone voltage is less than can running kernel and charging program. You need like a car put together a battery
I dit it after trying all button, software, etc rescue.
I connect my old HTC desire battery to the Xperia with the usb charger connected.

Try disconnecting your battery and reconnecting. This should work

Brick after format microSD by CWM
Before few days I successfully managed to gain root access, unlock the bootloader, and finally install a functional CyanogenMod ( 10.2.0 stable) on my Xperia V.
(after one softbrick, when I learned how to use flashtool and fastboot).
Yesterday I was install in to the phone a new 32 gigabytes SD card, but Total Commander file manager in the phone didn't show contents. I decided to format this microSD. The mistake was probably that I used to format ClockWord mod in the the phone. Twice times I check whether I will formated external microSD. And I format it to the default format. After format I confirmed the fix root privileges (I put YES) and then just reboot.
However didn't reboot phone and no reaction, no led or vibrations. Bricked.
I take SIM, microSD and battery from phone.
After instalation battery back, my brick "symptomes" are same like Kidamundi and others:
-if i try to turn on the phone the red led blink 2 times, pause, 2 times, pause, etc (no vibrations)..
-if i try to push the buttons for soft/hard reset the red led blink 2 times, pause, 2 times, pause, etc (no vibrations)..
-if i connect to the pc and try flashtool, answer is "USB connection is not in Debugging mode, Device disconected",
-if i connect to the pc and try fastboot, "waiting for device"-if i connect to the pc no response even if i try to hold the voume up button during the connection( i tried also with flashtool)
-if i try to connect the phone with flashtool opened ,and i press power button the red light still on like 5-6 second and flashtool recognize the phone but as the red light turn off flashtool show "device disconnected".
Is relock bootloader safe way for me too (with succesfull Cyanogenmod before bricking)?
And which is next step after relock booatloader?
I tried to explain the problem as better i can, and sorry for my english. Thank you.

I had no echos from flahtool and fastboot. Service confirm hardware issue. I have hard brick, but relation with my Cyanogenmodding is unsure, inconclusive. I'll try complaint procedure.
Hi, I have tried to use flashtools and I've got all the necessary drivers (I think) but once I put hold power button and vol+ (3 vibrations), then press vol-, connect to pc via USB and I get a temporary green led, which goes after about 5 seconds, and then my phone disconnects from my computer again and i get a constant red led while the Sony logo appears. I really need my phone to work Could someone out there please help with this! I would really appreciate if someone responded very soon as I would like to get this sorted as soon as possible. Flashtools gives me these messages:
22/012/2013 23:12:07 - INFO - Device disconnected
22/029/2013 23:29:07 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
22/029/2013 23:29:18 - INFO - Device disconnected
Also one more thing I'd like to add.. Once I go into that BLU thing, it keeps on asking me what device I have, so I select Xperia T and then it gives the following messages:
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - Your phone bootloader cannot be officially unlocked
22/052/2013 22:52:26 - INFO - You can now unplug and restart your phone
Might this have something to do with it? Any suggestions would be grateful! I've been at this for hours now and need to get this sorted
Thanks to any kind person who helps fix this!
1) Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and goto software info/configuaration. If it says bootloader unlocked allowed: no, then you CANNOT unlock it via ANY means
2) If it says yes (I doubt it, because flashtool has already checked this) then you can.
3) Flashmode has nothing to do with bootloader. Press volume up to get into fastboot (Blue LED) for working with bootloader, press volume down (Green LED) to work in flashmode, which is for flashing FTF's.
4) If you are trying to flash a FTF, then do not connect the phone until it asks
5)Make sure you have gone to C:\flashtool\drivers and run drivers.exe. Ensure you choose fastboot, flashmode and TX drivers.
6) Make sure you are on the latest version of flashtool 0.9.13.1
Can I ask what you are actually trying to do?
Also flashmode and fastboot and adb dont work on windows 8(.1)

Its not even booting, past the Sony logo so i cannot do anything (i can't do step 1 as you've asked). Its literally a bootloop. Can you give me step-by-step instructions to get out of this bootloop? I tried to install custom ROM but it died on me, and now its on the bootloop, which i can't get passed.

Oh okay. I'm using windows 8.1, so what would I do to fix the issue?
I have given my phone to the manufacturers to try and sort out but I have a feeling they will refuse to fix it, so any help would be appreciated. If i use a windows 7 machine, would it work? If so, how do I fix it such that it exits bootloop and allows me to access my phone. I don't mind losing all my data (although i think its lost anyway lol)
P.S. thanks for the reply.

I'm sure your batt is dead. Try the rubber band method. Give it like 2/3 rounds of it on the power button and hold it and plug in charger. it should charge with red led on. Pull battery and try again if it does not charge. Give it some charging and it should be able to enter flashmode to flash stock.

I don't think the battery is dead, as the led would just blink and wouldn't even show me the Sony logo.. Everytime i use the phone with the charger it goes into the bootloop, looping around the Sony logo and then switching off again, then the sony logo will show again, etc. I've sent it off to Sony manufaturers. Would they fix it (even if the manufacturers warranty is void)? Like, even if they charge a little (hopefully not stupid amounts of money lol)? If not, i'm going to try and use flashtool on windows 7 machine and hope that it works, as I've heard flashmode and fastboot and adb do not work on windows 8(.1), which is what im currently using :crying:

If after that point you still have trouble with it sticking to flashmode: I also had trouble flashing via flashmode with one of my USB ports. I like to use the front ones on my PC but they don't work for every device. There is also a USB cable that I have that does not work for flashmode. Consider these 2 things

I'll try windows 7 when I get it back. And wow really? I didn't realise that using different cables actually made a difference? At the end of the day, if it charges the phone it should work! Lol, Sony know how to make things real complicated!
Experia T stuck on SONY logo
Help, another help
I read about the leaked 4.3 and the latest 4.4
Did much flashing with HTC Desire.
Now I made a big mistake trying something with my Xperia T
Using DooMLorD flashtool I got into fastboot mode and then clicked on 'Reboot device into system'
I WISH I HADN'T
Now my Xperia T is dead.
Starting up it gets stuck on the SONY logo, nothing, nothing happens.
Please help me recover the device!

It's just a soft brick. What did you wanted to flash? Just flash a stock .ftf file with flashtool, or a kernel with recovery.

Well, first of all I want the phone to start up normally again so that I can use it.
What I did achieve up till now is that I can get it connected to flashtool in Fastboot mode.
I guess this gives me the opportunity to flash a boot.img first so that I can install 4.4 or 4.3 later.
But first things first.
Do you think flashing a boot.img could restore the phone in a state that it functions as a normal phone again?

My xperia t has gone in for repair. Before considering this though, could you try one thing to see if it'll help restore phone? Go to your PC companion (and no, its not a standard recovery which i'm going to suggest so keep reading!). Once you have done this, click on "Support zone". Click "Start" on the "Phone/tablet software update" option. Note, you do not need to plug in your device yet!. You should get an error message coming up saying device not connected. And once you get this, there should be a message asking you whether you are having "severe problems with your phone/tablet". There's a "repair my phone/tablet" hyperlink. I want you to click that and NOT the connect button. Once you have clicked that, please follow the on screen instructions. Tell me if this works for you I hope it does!

No it dod not.
Why?
Because SONY decided that I have made changes to my phone and SONY now refuses to repair my device.

Ah that sucks! Are you not on windows 8? I've heard that windows 8 and flashtools don't get along, but if you're saying you've got your device into fastboot you should be able to flash it using flashtools!
Sony Xperia T LT30p dead resolved
OK, here it is for those interested on how to revive a dead Xperia device.
Yesterday my phone stalled at the SONY logo.
Nothing could be done anymore.
My phone has returned into normal state thanks to SonyXperiakiasT :good:
Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315572
Howto get into a state that one can flash the phone.
- download: LT30P_9.1.A.1.141_PL.ftf (the original firmware)
- install and activate flashtool-0.9.13.0-windows.exe
- at the SONY logo push on/off, vol-up and vol-down together
- when the phone vibrates an the logo disappears release all buttons and immediately after push on/off and vol-up button
- when phone vibrates release on/off button, keep pushing vol-up button and plug in USB cable from computer
- you will be in a state with a blue light at the top left of your phone.
- however you want to get in a state with a green led
- push vol-down and on/off
- unplug the USB
- wait for the phone to vibrate
- release the on/off button and plug in the USB
- Follow the instructions in the thread mentioned above and your phone will be revived.
All the pushing, releasing, plugging and unplugging is a quite delicate affair.
I tried it during several hours before I got a bit of grip on it and still I am not shure how I got into the green led state.
Try it, be patient and be shure that repair is within reach as soon as you have a green LED on your phone.
Good luck!

Hey so I ran into this same problem! my phone wouldn't do anything except boot up to the Sony screen, no lights no charging nothing
I figured it out, at least for me
>Have your flash ready to go via Flashtool
>Have your phone plugged into your computer via USB
>Hold the volume down button and then while holding it turn it on
you should have your green light and may have to hold the volume button the whole time until its done flashing.
Hope this works
FIX!
Hey the same thing happened to my xp T few days ago. My phone was rooted with UB. I was stuck on SONY LOGO too n my phone was rebooting from there repeatedly but I was managed to get into cwm n I installeddifferent kernels + Rome but it was no good. Like u said in your OP I couldn't get into flashmood too. When I select the firmware flashtools say preparing files then the phone reboots! Then flashtools say device disconnected!! The solution for this is when flashtools says device disconnected pull the usb cable n press vol up with power button n turn off phone. Then once turned off straight away press vol down n plug in usb cable n flashtools will start flashing. The important thing here is not to close the window that pops up when flashtool say device disconnected in red. Hope this helps, same prob worked for me so should work for you! Peace
Hi All,
Please help me.
I'm stuck with my XZ C6602 it is not going into flash mode.
I'm able to connect it in fast-boot mode but not in flash mode.
Every time i Does it the green light blinks and goes off.
However flash tool detects it in flash mode but only for 2 mins then device disconnects and restarts.
I have locked boot loader.
I have tried every thing re installing flashtool and all drivers but nothing works.
Please suggest me what to do.?
Should I have to unlock my bootloader for it or is there is any other workaround ?
Experts solve my problem.:angel:
if the led turns green then goes off you are in flash mode. at 1st i also thought the phone doesn't go in flash mode but the led doesn't stay green all the time. Try another usb port/cable or try to flash on a different computer cause it might be a drivers or usb port related problem

hi
tried everything....
tried different cable different PC/laptop but same thing happen.
I agree it does into flash mode and led doesn't stay green all the time then why does it restarts on its own even when cable is not disconnected.
Brother I faxed the same issue... To flash the ftf in locked bootloader is not possible..... Need to unlock it and then flash the ftf.... Spent 10mins yesterday why I was not able to flash ftf in flash mode.... Then it hit me
P.S always keep a backup of your DRM keys so you can get it back know you lock the bootloader again

Good evening everyone!
I need help so bad, so urgent!
It was happen when i try to install TWRP on my SONY Xperia SP using an amazing stupid way, using flash boot command coz i cant install twrp using flash recovery command, but i dont know why that fastboot take so long time and just display <waiting for device>. So i decided to remove my USB and plug it once again. Suddenly, my laptop show a notif. "USB not recognized" and the blue LED is gone, then SONY logo appear and start to charging and u can hear connect-"Not recognized"-and disconnect sounds from laptop. But, when the display turn off, it's turn on again, and 5 seconds later u can hear disconnected sounds, then charging stopped. Few later, the logo come again and charging again, and the same thing happend. When i try to charge from the wall charger, it can charging normally, but I CAN'T TURN THE PHONE ON. It's like the power button has been disabled. So i unplug the charger and turn my XSP on, it can boot normally. But when i try to connect to charger, it wont charging. So on my laptop, even my laptop didnt notice any USB, and my XSP didn't show any LED.
Help me to fix this. I can't charge my phone except to turn it off T_T. Pls give me a way out T_T.
Status: Installed AOSP Oreo 8.0.0 huashan, not rooted and no cwm/twrp (this is what i need to install, so i can root my phone, the latest cwm i installed gone after flashing AOSP ROM), cant connect to any USB even in fastboot mode (i've installed the driver).
seems like you got dust in your usb port , it happened to me once , i freaked out real bad. just try clearing it with some needle or stuff , also you might wanna use emma to revert your phone back to its original stock firmware.

what's emma? how to use that?
it's a sony developer tool. You can use it to install original os on your phone , you just need a pc and internet connection , here
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Andr...ony-Flash-tool-for-Xperia-devices/td-p/307318
Also , just save the customization file and delete the rest , download emma sony flash tool from google ( latest version ) copy the customization file after installing it.
After it completes install , run it and wait for it to open , it may take some time during its first run.
Now plug in ur phone , while holding volume down button , you should see green light on bottom , that indicates you're on recovery mode or flashmode. The Emma tool will detect device and start installing original firmware on it.

that was my problem. when i plug my phone in fastboot or bootloader, pc wont detect it, it says "USB not recognized". also when my phone is standby, it wont detect any usb i plugged in, wall charger or usb pc.
i've installed latest driver for XSP, and USB debugging's on.
have you read my first comment? , clear your phone's usb slot and then try replugging , if it fails try it on a different computer , the problems usually with windows 10 as it loses recognizing devices after some fail attempts.
