Anyone have any idea how to fix my issue?
My device is not rooted nor running any other ROM. At this point I can care less if the solution involves rooting my phone and loading a rom. HELP PLEASE.
Device was updating to the latest software....
Stuck on ODIN MODE. Error message "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
T-Mobile tier 2 and Samsung Tier 3 could not figuire out how to fix it.
-Can't get to the recovery bootloader menu screen.
-When ever I pull the battery and plug it in it goes straight to this screen, nothing else even if I do the hardware keys to -get to the bootloader screen.
-If I connect my device to my computer and load Kies it does not reconize my device, if I go to the Emergency Recovery Screen under options nothing is in the list and no one seems to know the code to put n the code option.
What do I do? Samsung said to send it in to get flashed.
Is there any way for me to flash it on this screen at all? At this point I don't mind rooting it and loading a rom, any help would be great. Thank you!
Ibhad that same issue when i was updating. I made a video . Just follow this because kies did not work for me but odin did. Post on here questions if you have them. Ill help you. Odin will help you reupdate. Its not bricked just stuck in download mode.

Ifif says com and its yellow and added and you followed the rest of the instructions you should ve fine.

Awesome, it does say com3 and added at the bottom, I will give it a try.
Glad to hear that. And im assuming you got all the other stuff you need. Like the update? Itll take about 8 mins. Once it reboots itll say pass and should not have errors. If you get any errors let me know what step it got stuck in and what the error was.

Someday in the future I will want to root and load a rom on to my phone, is ODIN used for that process too? I have done it with my old HD2, but I am sure its different now.
Odin can be used to root or to install other things. Once you are rooted though you can flash via cwn rwcovery instead

Sweet, I am fimilier with cwn rw-covery. Thanks again!
I do have one question though. When you unlock the screen why does it show the bar with "swipe screen to unlock" on it? I never had that before? Do you know how to remove it?
People are reporting that after a couple uses and reboots it went away. Mine was there then it went away

That's why it's never a good idea to flash links that are just randomly posted through a thread unless it's either from the op or you know for certain it's for our phone. Only options you have now that it's bricked is either jtag or go through insurance if you have it.

Hi! Today I was trying to put another ROM into my Motorola XT317 and I made the same mistake as you - put the wrong rom and the cell have turned off. After trying many and many things, I was on the last light of my hope, I removed the battery and plugged the phone into the pc.
The buttons of home, back and search blinked and turned on. So I though: let me put the battery on and see what happens. Then, after that, the screen turned on with the battery design of recharging.
I know it is a Motorola but it would help you or other users with the same thing or phone model as my.
Thanks!

This won't help. If you flash a S3 ROM on this phone, you're bricked. Period.

Sorry. I just tried to help.
actually this guys MobileTechVideos.com helped me and i have my phone back! it was like 50 bucks.
i'd recommend mobiletech jtag to fix your phone. i bricked my phone too flashing a wrong kernel. it was $50 but well worth it saving a dumb mistake i made.
Well it seems my Play has finally died.
Woke up this morning and my touchscreen wouldnt respond so I reflashed the ROM Im using (MIUI v4).
Now, for some reason, it wont make it past CWM no matter what kernel I flash.
So I used Flashtool to go back to a stock ftf and it freezes at the SE logo. However, when connected with PC Companion it gets to the lockscreen but the touchscreen wont work :S
Im at a loss completely :S
Any help would be great
Woo man.. That sounds srious. Its like the phne touchscreen has been disable. Did u try flashing a kernel with full touch recovery n see if its touch-able?? Just a suggestion. Its really weird how that happen, really. It shouldn't matter if u plug ur phone to pc or not. If the screen boot it should respon with any touch u make. Weird...

I tried the CWM with touch support and it doesnt respond at all. When I flash a ROM it wont make it past CWM so it seems like Ive got 2 problems. Well, if I flash a stock ftf file it sticks at the first Sony Ericsson logo as well so flashing back to stock isnt a solution either
EDIT: I appear to have life CM9 has booted to the main splash screen. However, touch input is still gone

Meaning the touchscreen is completely dead or it dosen't boot up the system completely?? This is hard. If the screen is touch-able u obviously wont hav any problem. Did u try any othert .ftf besides the 1 u already hav?? Just curious...

I flashed an MIUI ICS rom and the following morning it was locked up. Now certain kernels wont go past CWM.
FXP kernels seem to work for me though but the touchscreen doesnt work. Some of the stock firmwares wont even boot but even if they do, the touchscreen doesnt work. Ive wiped data/cache/dalvik so many times but I havent a clue whats happened :S
Im still gonna stick around the Play section though
This has been the only phone issue thats ever had me stumped completely
Did u did a factory reset also before flashing anything?
Can you enter the service menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* in phone dialer?? Then you can test the touchscreen, hard keys, proximity, ALS, and almost all other functions. I'm not sure if its the same numbers for all versions of Play or just AT&T's version. If not google service menu+android or something. Or maybe its something that can fixed with computer by the guys who unlock fix Sony phones.(Jinx13 & alejandrissimo-*probably misspelled)

Sure. U can test the touchscreen on that menu. If u can get to it. The code r the same for all xperia phone, i guess.

Got to that menu and its still not responding to touch.
Sold the phone for scrap today. I had no warranty due to unlocking the bootloader via the Sony Unlock site so sending it for repair was out of the question. Moving on to HTC at the weekend. Gonna get the Explorer I think it was

Wrong section buddy, should be in Q&A =)
Can we have some more information please?
Stock or rooted (if rooted, which ROM)?
Kernel (if rooted)?
Hardware damage (did you drop it)
Volume Key stuck (volume down key constantly making the phone vibrate)?

Does your phone vibrate for about 7 seconds and gets stuck on the white screen?? leave it for about 20-30 minutes and it will turn on. You seemed to messed the bootloader.

i dont think theres an easy way just follow the instructions. i think we are lucky enough to have that guide
learn to use cmd prompt on windows...search on google its not that hard n will make things alot more easier
as you were flashing a RUU i guess u know about adb if not theres a guide for that...search in xda
thats all i can help u with..

There is no easy way for that unfortunately. You messed your bootloader for flashing something you shouldn't have and being warned all around didn't stop your from doing it.
So, my piece of advice is that you take time to do some research and learn how to do it. There is no other way, unless you find someone willing to do it for you.
TIP: Make sure that your phone fully boots even if it takes 30 minutes to and you also are able to get to hboot. Otherwise the fix is useless.
