Was you trying OTA update? Was your bootloader unlock?

Hi guys. I'm in Australia and got the same problem I unlocked the bootleader like few months ago and rooted it. Today my friend was playing angry birds, then the OTA update to 2.3.3 came in and he pressed ok. He told me it was downloading a 44mb file size so he put it in the pocket then after a while he took it out, it was only black screen. He tried to restart it by pressing the power button but no use. He gave it to me and told me what happened. I tried to plug it into my laptop but nothing happened at all. What should I do? call Sony and ask for solutions? Anyone knows the reason please reply. Thanks in advance.

Try a repair update using SE update service or use flashtool.

Have you tried wotanserver.com
Otherwise, my guess is it might be a hardware issue, not a software one (because flashtool/update service/wotan server return your phone to stock. meaning if something was f*ed up, it should be fixed...)
Just use the Sues tool (aka. sony's flashing tool) and have it flash the latest update. If that doesn't work just tell your carrier that it did this after you installed and OTA update and maybe they'll give you a new one.
Yes!
Last Evening I tried the SE update service . right away it didnt work , so i posted , that my phone is still bricked. Today at school about 12 hours after i used the SE update service and the phone was "dead" it FINALLY booted to the os! Yay! im no longer bricked!
Thanks For the help! I appreciate it!
Not Again!
So........ the issue has continiued , after two weeks of perfect performance.
well....i guess the screen is to blame here , because when i touch it in places , that i know a button exists i can feel the vibration!
Ive been playing paintball and running around with the phone in my pocket , so i guess ill have to start saving money for a screen repair
So root wasn't here to blame.

[WAIT HELP] Hard - Bricked Xperia S LT26i

Hi guys.
I opened my bootloader. And tried 3-4 roms. They were working nice. Then i wanted to install another rom. Its DooMLoRd-Jeak rom.
I done all right. And it said its okey. I looked on my phone. Its power off. I pressed to my power button but it vibrates for 1 time. I tried to charging but not matters. There is NOT led. If I press volume up+ power + camera button it vibrates for 3 times.
How can i repair it, can someone help me?
I should do it today.. waiting for you. thanks for everyone.
I want to do it with flashboot . But i couldn't understand. thanks again..
It's woke up guys. Thanks

[Q] Need help with LT28at

Hello guys, need your help.
My wife was updating her LT281t to LT28at_6.1.C.1.111 via Sony Companion, when she came to the 5th step, "Press and hold volume down while connecting USB cable" she did but couldn't get into flashmode, unplugged the cable to try again and nothing happened. Now the phone wont bootup, she is crying cause of her phone.
Is there a way to make it boot up???
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to continue the install from sony companion by following the step. i had to unplug mine twice before i could get it to work. that also assumes the device isnt bricked by this issue. and if it is im not sure how to fix this issue might i suggest looking here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283384
Yea read that thread linked and you should be able to get it going again. The key is patience though. If you rush the steps you will start all over again. I had to charge mine for almost 36 hours before I got it back running again.
Thanks all
Thank you all for your comments. I had read the thread linked. At the end I could recover the phone. Had to let it charge for about 4 or 5 hours, then I could do a soft reboot and it did boot againg.
For now my wife is quite happy and forgot about upgrading at least till JB comes out.
Again. Thanks for your support.
Mods.: If you could close thread please, I couldn't figure how.

[Q] My Note2 can't start but reboot itself after I tried to root

Hello, Everyone,
I'm so glad that I find this forum here.
Please help me out!!! I tried to root my Note2 last night.(I bought the verizon version two weeks ago) I thought it was almost done and it showed PASS! Then the cell started rebooting but could not stop.
I called Costco, where I bought the phone. But they said we can't help you. Now I can't receive phone called because basically the phone can't be on. It just keeps rebooting itself. Please help...
Thanks a lot in advance!

Wrong forums... you have a Verizon model.
However, check here and read section 1A as this can help you return to stock. Good luck.
Thanks, but where shall I post my thread?

Right here would be a good start.
Thanks
Thank you.
I might have to post again over there. so far, i checked a lot of ways but none fits my situation. The problem is that the phone can't be put into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ]. When you do that, it pops up the starting image and keeps rebooting itself. It can not be connected to computer as it is always dead.

I dont think bootloader can be restored using only usb connection.
Probably some other devices are available to service center like JTAG..doplhinclip...which can be used to re-write the boot partition
Lol, Im not alone in this.
Did same thing by accident. googled for how-to restore the phone. But it did not seem possible to be done. So I sent it to Nokia Care.
Those guys at the Nokia office laughed for a long time, when I told them a story " how I got a new shiny green brick ".
Told me the repairs would take 2 weeks and cost arond $30
_________ UPDATE____________
Called to Nokia Care. They fixed the phone by changing the celluar module ( maybe with the whole motherboard ).
That means that bootloader can not be fixed, at least for now.
BE CAREFUL
Well Nokia has just replaced my device with a new one after 3 weeks
I got my device back frm care center..
They replaced the motherboard...as the phone was dead they didn't knew i rooted my phone...n i claimed my warranty
