HELP! My Xperia SP is dead after unlocking bootloader with official way!
It won't turn on even when I tried to boot it up by connecting via usb to laptop.
I tried to charge it, but it's useless
I also tried to force restart it from restart button but it doesn't wake up
HELPP! :crying:
#UPDATE: By some miracle, the phone boots itself up and get working again. All apps are gone (like factory reset). It shut down about 2 hours then suddenly it came back to life. Still don't get it why this can be happening though. But thank God!

Have you tried the OFF button on the back?
You should try to connect your phone to pc, press volume button and keep it pressed. Then without releasing the volume button, press the restart button on the back until you see the led (blue or green depending on the volume you pressed). This means you have at the same time : usb + volume + reset button on the back.
You should keep it pressed during 3 to 15 seconds. If this doesn't work, put your phone to charge (on wall charger and preferably with stock charger) during 1-2 hours and try again.
Try reflash a stock ftf
Please provide more information to the things you did. Did you use EMMA or FLASHTOOL?

Yes, I tried but it still doesn't work, the phone heats up while there is no sign of life. But after 2 hours it turns back on! Weird

I did that multiple times but there was no sign of life. No led pulse, dead screen, but only warm phone. But it came back on after 2 hours

I use cmd since flashtool won't recognize my phone even I have install the correct driver. I read all the instructions from Sony web about unlocking bootloader and I suffer this situation. But after 2 hours it turns back on...

I have the same problem now and you made my hopes up. I was on PAC rom, normally working, but when i picked up my phone, it wasn't responding, OFF button isn't doing anything and my PC even doesn't recognize the phone over USB. So i hope it will be working again later. :fingers-crossed:
Edit: 12 hours later and still no signs of life, so im' doiwnloading ftf and i'm going to try flashing it...
Make sure you have the driver installed for your phone.
1. Download, install and run the driver update utility. Here's the link where you can download it.
http://www.driverscape.com/download/xperia-sp
2. If it doesn't detect your phone, download flashtool from here:
http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Make sure you have the latest ftf image in order to flash to your phone. You can download from here.

3. Make sure your phone is off by force shut down (clicking the OFF hard key in the back)
4. Open flashtool. Press and hold the volume down key and then connect your phone to the computer by USB.
5. The notification bar will light green indicating that it is connected in flash mode.
You can then follow instructions on how to flash through Google search. If you are able to reach step 5 and don't know how to flash, let me know.

Thanks, i know how to flash ftf, but my phone shows no signs of life, when plugged to charger, the LED doesn't light up and i can't go to flash mode aswell. So now it seems that the only thing i can do is to take my phone to repair, as it seems there is some hardware problem...
Dead Xperia SP Also
I have same situation since 21st of December.. I left my Phone on. When I was going to bed. I woke Up and saw this fuzzy blank grey screen, then I pressed the reset button at the back of the phone thinking all will be fine, But since then I've been battling with it. First, No sign of life after plugging, then a day later after I left it connected to my PC, The LED LIGHT turned red, but dead screen. About 15MINS later it goes off, Then comes up again (LED LIGHT) I've tried connecting to PC, it recognises it for about 4seconds and it disconnects automatically, I've tried practically all the method I saw on here.. Rubber band trick,leaving it to charge all night connected to wall charger / PC..All proved abortive, I have been trying to get the MAGIC green LED LIGHT (FLASHMODE) but it never works.. I took it to a repair shop (NOT SONY) He said he only deals with HARDWARE that it wasn't hardware problem, and they then went ahead to flash it.. (I'm out of warranty) STILL NO LUCK.. I'll be glad if anyone can guide me through or come up with a Plausible SOLUTION, 'cause my BREAK has been horrible since my PHONE went M.I.A..... Thank you GUYS
So, finally I'm going to pick up my repaired SP :fingers-crossed:. They thought it was a problem caused by the reset button pushed too hard, but since they've informed me they've changed whole motherboard, the problem must have been somwhere else, maybe they'll tell me where.
(And it seems that despite the fact i've unlocked the bootloader and flashed ROM on it, they will accept it as a warranty repair, because i think they weren't able to get to know that )
My XSP must really hate me. After less than a week since i've picked it up from the repair, it's dead again (everything tried - reset button, leaving it to charge, usb) with no signs of life ... I guess there must be a much bigger problem than just motherboard That means another two weeks with my old slow LG OO. I'm gonna die without it, i've maintained almost a month without it back then, but i had a tablet borrowed for a review. Now it's worse...
Maybe they should give me another XSP instead of trying to repair this one again...
have you considered about the battery?
the battery might be dead for all we know
That may be the problem, but i must also keep in mind that it had its motherboard changed a week ago. Anyway, i took it to the service again, they also said that charger may be causing it, but battery seems more logical to me as there were no problems with charging.
So i have to wait another two long weeks and then i'll know what was it...
I have a standard SM-N700 Galaxy Gear and had it running null. All seemed fine until one night after a notification tried to come to the watch, the screen flashed white and the watch appeared to shut down. Since then, it hasn't been able to turn on for anything. Below is the steps I've taken to try to recover my smartwatch...
Tried using multiple power supplies, no response (one power supply even caused the charging dock to become a little warm)
Tried holding power for 10 seconds, no response.
Tried repeatedly holding/pressing power (I heard sometimes this can help clear a softlocked device), no response.
Opened the watch and disconnected the battery. When the watch was reconnected, it vibrated once as if it was going to turn on, but didn't do anything further. Repeated attempts at removing the battery had no response, not even a vibrate.
Tried connecting the watch to my PC, the computer beeped that a device was connected and reported that there was no driver for "sec s5pc210 test b/d". I checked and the standard Samsung USB Drivers are installed. Tried other USB cables and USB ports, either the computer gives the beep of a malfunctioning USB device, or beeps as if something connected, but then the device seems to disappear.
I've read some resources that suggest that either the watch is completely fried, or somehow during an update to Gear Manager, it corrupted or damaged the bootloader of the watch, and after the watch attempted to reboot, it failed and got stuck in the condition it is in now. Based on these resources, there's supposed to be a way using Odin to flash a proper bootloader to the device, but since it does not appear to stay connected for more than an instant, and when it does connect it appears as this "sec s5pc210 test b/d" device, the tools I've tried to flash the bootloader have failed.
I really don't want to have to replace this device. Having a Samsung watch that still runs plain Android is not something I want to give up.
Hi, yesterday my phone hangs on using apps and won't react to anything. So i have done a hard power off with power+vol up. Next i tried to start the device again and nothing The device won't start into any mode (system/bootloader/flash) and no lights etc. So i checked some threads in net and tried to plug in charger over night. Today behaviour has changed a little bit. When connecting to pc device is detected as usb device with error in getting description. This is the only reaction of the device. Again doing a hard power off etc. won't work (also no vibration).
Has anybody had same behaviour and could fix it ?
System is unlocked and was running with cm12.1.
Before you ask: pcc etc. also won't wark cause usb-connect won't work corectly.
Maybe it is not the right place to ask but my phone started shutting down by itself many times during the day and also it became very hot.
So I decided to recover it through the Sony companion app. I did it many times because it never became usable but it turned black and now it doesn't show anything on the display and it isn't recognized anymore by Sony companion because it doesn't boot in download mode.
It can also be that it is dead in the middle of a recover done through Sony companion.
Now, if I connect it to the charger (or to the pc), it shows the red led for a while and it turns off. It seems that the phone “turns on internally” and then it turns off the red led.
If someone knows what is the problem and can help me, thanks.
Hi, some months ago, something similar happened to me. In that ocasion, I had to visit a technical service in order to
recover my device. They got it, although with last official version of Android. After this, I upgraded it to my choice.
Somebody told me that in these sites normally use "Emma" a flashtool for Xperia Sony. You can download it and try it.
You have to connect the phone to the computer, with Emma running in the computer, and simultaneously push power on
and volume down, if you are lucky, you´ll see that Emma recognizes the device and in the right bottom corner the official
Android for your device. Then you only have to flash the ROM. Obviouslly all data will be lost.
Luck ...
So as my friends all like to annoy me as they know I'm a bit ocd I recently inherited what I believe is a z1 with problems. Wondered if anyone can shed light as I'm starting to think it's completely duff.
It does not appear to turn on, or charge. I assumed completely zeroed battery however long charge makes no difference. On a software repair, at the stage of hold volume down and connect USB it goes no further. I've tried ensuring it is definitely off multiple ways. However on occasion it has connected to pc companion and it says your device is locked please unlock. Still nothing on device screen.
I've tried vysor but obviously even if it's just a dead screen, USB debug isn't enabled as that's a no go to.
I've tried the yellow off button in sd/sim tray slot multiple times. It makes no audible sound itself at any point eg turning on/off, volume up/down, swiping screen etc.
The only reason I haven't given up so far as a dead screen is that it appears to not want to charge, and that even though pc companion says its on which implies a dead screen there's no sound either.
Any suggestions as I do hate to see a potentially usable phone go to the bin.
Even just data recovery would be a start but can't establish any adb or fastboot connection, again due to debug and not knowing what state the phone is in at any given time

Nevermind. Had the battery out....... 2.6v.......good old Sony.
Still, the no screen and dead battery but pc companion advising the phone is on and locked is interesting
