So, i have update my ion to ICS LT28h, my wife's ion we waited for the official AT&T update. I downloaded PC Companion, connected the phone, started the update process. I did all i was told on every screen. the phone never updated and now does not power on. no lights when plugged in to charge or connect.

Wrong Section
wrong section
1) hold the power + volume down for like 15 secs...(untill you feel a vibrate)
2) download flashtool at http://androxyde.github.com/
-----Install
3) download whatever FTF you want at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752345
----move it to C:\Flashtool\firmwares
make sure drivers are installed(find them in C:\Flashtool\drivers
4) Launch Flashtool
5)select the thunderbold
----select the ftf
6)insert the micro usb end into phone (leaving the regular usb out of computer)
----it will tell you some instructions on how to flash but they are for different xperia phone
7) while holding the volume down button while the phone is off (From step 1)
insert REGULAR usb into computer
it should say flashing, or your comp might say installing driver, or it might just say drivers not installed..
ONLY IF YOU CHOOSE TO INSTALL LT28H FTF--------------repeat this step but now install the file from (FOR LTE)

If it is an AT&T phone do you really want to update to LT28h?
why not install lt28h
all you have to do is just flash the extra ftf
and then just change the APN

No reason to use the LT28h anymore since the LT28i and LT28at both have ICS and root.
In hope that someone's still looking at this thread, here is my situation: I tried flashing a prerooted image via fastboot and landed in a Sony bootloop. Then somehow I was stuck in fastboot-mode (led: static blue) and let the phone drain its battery. Now I'm able to get into flashmode but when flashing the chinese FTF with the Flashtool it stops at 1% with status "Processing .......sin" (sorry don't know the file exactly).
When I'm trying to power it up now the Sony logo comes up followed by an exclamation mark in a triangle... could you tell me what options there are left? I saw these prerooted images (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669906), but there is none for the Ion, so I don't know what could be the next step. If I just had back my normal system... I used to flash my Galaxy S many times so I'm not that unexperienced, but it seems I really have a problem here:crying:
Any help is appreciated!

What model are you working with? And where did you get this prerooted image (the one you tried to flash)? From the link you posted I don't see one for the ion. Anyway, based on my own soft brick experience, you'll prolly need to let the phone battery drain, then charge (process can take a day or so), then try and flash your stock FTF via Flashtool.

If still no luck, like spectre51 said use repair option in pc companion.

Thx for your hints! It is kinda frustrating to wait until it is fully loaded, then try flashing, then load and wait again... but the 1%-bug seemed to be a major bug as it is fixed now in the new version 0.9.8 of the flashtool.IGonna tray again tomorrow and report my status. I already checked popfan's thread to get a point if mydevice really is bricked or not. So again thanks to all of you!
Just out of curiosity: is there a possibility to flash a prerooted ftf-file? I live in Switzerland where I bought the lt28h version. And I haven't found a prerooted. img file for flashing via fastboot. Just want to root it, custom roms etc. later
Alright, I was able to flash the chinese FTF and got my phone back working:laugh:
But I had to install the newest version 0.9.8 of the flashtool to not get the 1%-bug again. After this roooting via bin4ry's script worked well and now I'm happy happy happy. Thank you all!
I also had problems with flashtool 9.7. I used 9.0 with no problems. Didn't know about 9.8.

as the OP of this thread, thought i'd update. After reading a few threads i discovered the power/volume button trick. tried volume down with no luck, but power and volume up worked. PC Companion did not work in upgrading the phone. just kept telling me to disconnect my battery, and that if the batter cannot be disconnected to skip that step. But it wouldn't go to the next step. So I tried SUS. Worked perfectly.
So, My phone is running lt28h and my wife is on lt28at. There are some differences in the way data is downloaded. looking at my AT&T bill, the data downloads, i assume for apps that get updated, seem to be different sources. also my phone has significantly larger downloads even though we have similar apps. I do have a couple of weather apps she doesn't have that might be responsible for that.
I'd like to do some additional comparisons, but think i'll be flashing the AT&T rom on my phone soon.
I've been searching tutorials from start to finish and can't find solution to my problem.
I have a Arc S from a friend that's bricked it gets stuck on sony ericcson logo.
Tried PC Companion not detected
Tried Update Service not detected
Tried Flashtool it detects phone as connected but without developer mode
18/005/2012 14:05:49 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
18/005/2012 14:05:49 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
I hold back key, no green led
I hold menu key, no blue led
Doesn't enter fastboot mode or flashmode.
Anyone knows how can i recover it? I don't know if it's unlocked bootloader or custom firmware or anything.
I think it maybe a kernel problem but didn't find tutorial to flash it without flashtool.
Regards,
Tried that already, when i hold the buttons (either back or menu) no led lights up when i connect usb it just shows the sony ericsson logo...

From what i've been told it died overnight during an OTA update.
The only too ways the computer detects it is by getting stuck on sony logo and flashtool detecting it as usb debug disabled or by doing the testpoint and computer detecting it as a Zeus Flash Device.
All the other ways, holding buttons etc's always gets me to the stuck logo no leds no nothing.

If you can't get the Phone in flashmode as you've already stated then you need a service centre. The only other alternative is to contact Alejandrissimo or Jinx13 who have SETool and will try and help remotely.

So were you just doing a standard OTA update and then you ran out of battery?
If you want, you could try Sony's new EMMA software for returning devices with unlocked bootloaders back to stock.
Did you unbricked you phone? I have the same problem after a wipe data from clocworkmod and i am unable to go in flashmode or recovery. Fashtool detect my device but just like your with debug off...
So did you manage to fix your device? Thx and srru for my bad english. Oh and my phone is locked.

Hello dear readers and great XDA members,
Last summer I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia Play R800i with the testpoint method. Everything worked fine: I installed CWM and loaded a FreeXperia version of CyanogenMod 9.1.
A couple of days ago, I wanted to finally update my ROM to a newer version since there had been so many releases since last summer. I loaded the new ROM and everything worked fine. However, some of the problems I hoped would've been solved by the update, weren't solved at all, especially the video capturing and panorama pictures. So I decided it maybe would be better to flash a new kernel.
I searched for a kernel, but couldn't find anything I liked. Then, I can't remember where, someone posted the "boot.img" files included in the FreeXperia CM9 ROM zip packages were kernel releases. So I decided to use flashtool and flash the boot.img as a new kernel.
This obviously didn't work and I tried some others. By the way: I couldn't boot into ClockWorkMod anymore since I tried to flash a new kernel. Only fastboot and flashmode would work.
I couldn't remember which kernel I used last summer, so I wandered the internet and eventually found that an X10 kernel was included in Flashtool. I though I remembered something about X10 from last summer, so I decided to stupidly flash that kernel to my Xperia Play.
After this flash completed, my phone doesn't respond to anything anymore. Following a list of things I tried (everytime after I tried something, I removed the USB cable and the battery to make sure the Xperia Play was turned off):
- When I press and hold the power button, nothing happens, not even the small vibrate always felt when the phone starts.
- Getting into fastboot mode doesn't work anymore (I tried with holding the search button and connecting USB, as well as some other buttons, nothing worked.)
- Getting into flashmode doesn't work either.
- No matter what I do, the phone won't give me a sign it's still alive. (no LED, no vibrate, no screen, nothing.)
- I tried the Sony Update Service, but that obviously doesn't recognize the phone
- Flashtool doesn't recognize the phone either.
- ADB doesn't recognize the phone of course.
- s1tool (the tool I used for the TestPoint bootloader unlock) recognizes I plug something in, but then gives an error it can't get access to it.
- I charged the battery overnight and tried all of the above again... still nothing works...
- When I plug in the phone to the PC, my PC recognizes something plugged in, but with the name QHSUSB_DLOAD in Device Manager.
(by the way: I am using Windows 8 Pro x64)
Is this phone completely dead or is there any way it can be saved? I was planning on keeping this phone at least until the end of 2013 or begin of 2014 before upgrading... An immediate upgrade is not in my budget and for now I have returned to my Nokia 5530 on Symbian, but that's nothing compared to Android :'(
Thank you very much in advance... I really hope someone can save my poor phone. I know I have been stupid, but I think I somehow panicked when I couldn't get the phone back into CWM and stupidly flashed the X10... Stupid stupid me.
Well I always update to the latest working kernel when I flash a new rom. The one working currently for me is fxp152 kernel.
Have you tried with battery, holding the search button, plug it in, then hold the Power button while still holding search.
Contact Alejandrissimo, he can probably help you.

Thank you for the response! Where do you find these kernels? Are those boot.img files included with fxp zip files the kernel images?
I hadn't tried to hold the power button after holding search button + plugging it in, but it doesn't work either
I will probably contact Alejandrissimo in a couple of days if I can't solve it myself or if nobody else can help me solve it...

Hi Tommy,
I am very sorry for my late response. I haven't fixed my phone yet, but I fear only a hardware flash would work... I think I am going to try to get my phone back to the store where I bought it and I hope they'll fix it. If they don't, I will try to find someone who can hardware flash or ask Allejandrissimo (an Xperia bricked devices expert, it seems...)
I hope you will get your phone to work again! (And please let me know how you did it if you succeed). I will keep you updated if there is any progress. I am very busy at the moment though, so I don't know when I can get my phone back to the store. In the meantime, I have also bought a used Galaxy Nexus...
Greetings,
Sven
EDIT: I think I also accidentally flashed the X10 rom or kernel in the flashtool...
Could be easily fixed by flashtool, tried the same (flashing x10) and phone looked dead. The I toke the battery out and placed it back. Then I could enter flashmode and flash a stock ftf.

Maybe you still have a chance! Bcoz I think you have completely damaged ta files+ semcboot which can only be repaired by se toolbox 3 which requires credits(money)( I m assuming it'll detect phone bcoz s1 tool recognized it with error ) if you have it than you can repair it or you can contact alejandressimo on gtalk.

Really?! I really hope it'll work. I have a Galaxy Nexus now, but I desperately need a Gingerbread for testing my apps again...
Thank you![/QUOTE
Message me in myinbox and I will give you # so I can walk you through it. I have bricked my phone many time and a lot of people will tell you I'm wrong. But I'm right all I ask is that you reply to this tread and post that I know how to fix bricked phones.

Hello Arbiterandrea,
I am very sorry tot report that I wasn't able to fix my Xperia Play. I sent my phone back to the online store I bought it from and it arrived there 1 day before my guarantee expired. When I got my phone back, it was a brand new one with a different serial number, no screen protector, not a scratch. And it was for free thanks to my guarantee, even though I bricked it myself. (I just told them "it suddenly stopped working")
If you've got any guarantee left, you could try that, but if I understand correctly you already tried that... Then I think you should contact Allejandrissimo, I've heard many good things about him. I didn't contact him myself, though.
Good luck! And let me know if you have fixed it?
Greetings

Hi, im on the latest .101 FW and im trying to downgrade to .67 so i can root and install a new custom rom. Ive installed a custom ROM before on this phone following the rooting procedure by this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458268, but now every time i connect to flashtool64, it says device connected in flash mode, but disconnects after a minute or so. What am i doing wrong? I've got USB debugging and unknown sources on.
Thanks, sid.

actually your have to first select the rom in flash tool then "wait" for tool to prepare files then the tool will prompt then connect your phone
My ZL has been acting weird lately, powering off on its own, and requiring a power source to boot back up.
I tried connecting to flashtool last night, and it works, but the green led that supposed to light up, just quickly blinks on then off, and stays off.
Yet flashtool is still telling me my device is connected in flashmode..... weird.
I was too scared to try and flash an FTF because i have a feeling the phone will just randomly power off.

My LED does the same, just blinks on and off when connecting to flashtool.
When I connect in flashmode and wait for a minute or so, the phone boots automatically.
But it always behaved like this since I bought the phone .
Flashing works like it should and it always worked. I think it's normal.
okay, ive got another problem. Im trying to unlock my bootloader via flashtool, and after connecting my phone with the volume down button pressed, it does nothing, just asks me to re connect my phone. Any idea whats wrong?

I should mention that I'm trying to unlock my bootloader while in existenz v4 ROM. Does this make any difference? Or should i flash a .67 ftf and unlock my bootloader.
