out of curiosity is the battery actually holding a charge or try another battery and what happens when u put the phone on charge
I have the same problem with my screen i didnt care for a couple of weeks but now it can be like 10 minutes locking and unlocking until i finally get the screen to turn on ( the touch works since it vibrates when i touch the screen.) i send it to SE but they refused it since it had traces of water i went back to 2.3.3 but still nothing. for last resort i opened my play and reconnect everything but the problem persists. I do not now what else to do...

Flashing a kernel,Running on custom Rom or unlocking your bootloader does cause this problem.Just unlocked my bootloader and flashed a rom.Yeah it went all blank,the screen,so I decided to relock it and repair the firmware using SEMC.From then on it functioned normally.

Have you tried repairing the firmware using SEMC yet?It should reinstall the firmware since the firmware's the one usually causing these problems.It would be best if you backup your apps first.

I had the same problem on my milestone about an year ago and it was because of humidity, at least thats what the guys at a local repair shop told me. They said it's not software related. Anyways the phone was ruined.

Sorry it was actually Sony Ericsson "Pc" Companion,which you have to use your pc to reinstall the firmware again if it helps.Make sure this SE Pc Companion is installed on your computer.Here's the link to download it. http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/mobilephones/downloads/subject/pccompanion/xperia-play?cc=ca&lc=en
If your bootloader's still locked you may want to go ahead and first,press start under support zone,then click start under phone software update(Don't connect your phone yet).It will come up with the "Could not find phone" prompt so go ahead and press repair phone which is underlined blue under the prompt.After that just do what it says on your Xperia Play.
If your hardware's the problem then I can't help you much.
didnt work, maybe its hardware problem, i think that bringing my phone on repair shop is the best solution

Hello this is my first post by the way and i really need help please i just rooted my lg nitro hd and was flashing the CWM on it and when i turned it off to check if it worked it will not turn back on at all not to cwm or regular boot please someone help me i just got this phone 2 days ago.
thanks in advance
What do you see when you turn the phone on?
does the charging screen come up when it is plugged in?
it doesnt power on at all and the charging screen doesnt come up either
mine too,it doesnt power on at all and the charging screen doesnt come up either,
anyone help!
I don't know a way to fix this problem but I have seen unbricking threads for this phone that may help. I'm not sure though because I haven't tried them. I did however also brick my nitro two days after I got and I brought it back to at&t and acted like I had no clue what was going on. Mine was stuck in a boot loop and possibly fixable but I needed it for work and didn't have time as I was on my way to work.

Hey try pulling the battery then reinserting it with USB plugged in to see if you can breathe any life into it if you can get anything to show on the screen that would be the first step then after that there may be a chance of rescue also try to let it charge for a while and come back to it, I brought a phone back because nothing would show up on the screen but when I brought it back to the store the Guy got it to bootloop if you can at least get it to do that you can work on unbricking it further

Something like this happened to me when I did a battery pull. My battery wasn't dead at the time either, it had 37%. I ended up sending mine to LG for repair or if you have AT&T, you can get it fixed through them.
I have the same problem, mine just stucks at LG logo and then loops, i don't know what to do, please somebody help us!

Hold down volume down plus power until it goes to the factory reset screen. Press power to "reset" which really takes you to CWM (if you're rooted and have CWM installed). Then from CWM, do a factory reset/wipe data, then flash the zip/gapps (for CM 9), or another ROM if you prefer.

Agree with kernelpanic. Sounds like a hardware failure. AT&T also has device support centers in certain locations that can swap out your phone in some cases.

Hi! thanks for answering!
Yes, I have CWM installed, when I try to enter with volume down and power, it ask me to click power twice to confirm (as usual), but then when CWM is going to boot, the phone resets, and loops again at the LG logo.
I already tried the unbrick method used here in the forum, but I have a problem with the R&D Test Tool, because when I try to click at "Upgrade Start" in CSE web upgrade test, the program opens LGMobile Support Tool, instead of the screen of "country and language", and finally, when I try to update via LGMobile Support Tool, it doesn't found my device (already put in Download Mode in USB), I don't know what to do, please, any information will be greatly apreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Reflash the ROM, without wipe. Or just restore your NAND backup.

I able go to the download mode, but only for about 5seconds, then the phone boot automatically..
how can I reflash the Rom if it's like that.
joehanh88 themed GT-I9070
Even I have the exact same problem. Happened randomly 3 days back.
Not able to get into Download/Recovery Mode. And battery also doesn't charge
Not in warranty, so can't go to Samsung.
I was running CM 10.1 when it happened
I just running stock ROM..
I can go to the download mode, but only last for 5 second, then the phone boot automatically again.
joehanh88 themed GT-I9070
Same here. I went to a repair shop - he says it is a Software issue and was charging a high amount for reflashing on his own, and says no guarantees it will work.
So I got it back and am trying on my own
so there is no other way except bring to the repair shop?

No clue what caused it. It was running smoothly for months before that.
My battery died after bootlooping for a while. Now charging it in another phone and trying
Okay, I got into download mode for enough time to reflash CWM Recovery - No use. After rebooting, bootloop still there.
I got into Recovery mode too - flashed cm 10.1, still after rebooting, bootloop.
The time before loop is random - sometimes can go into recovery/download mode, sometime, just restarts on starts.

are your battery is good. i also have those problem while my battery is dying.
or maybe your power chip is broken. but you should get to service center to make sure.

I just bought a new battery, and u don't think the new battery is the problem..but it might, because I'm using power bank to recharge the battery since I can't charge the phone with the provided charger because of I'm in the bus..
plus, my phone warranty already used once..I don't think I can use it for the second time.
joehanh88 themed GT-I9070
I got it to boot, but only once.
I did the following steps :
1) Connected it by USB to PC
2) Started Odin, Flashed latest recovery
3) Went into recovery at the next boot, Installed CM 10.1
4) Phone booted
No battery detected, it says running on USB :S
Next time I rebooted it, again same bootloop.
I feel its a power chip problem. Like some loose connection between charger -> battery and phone.
Anyone else who can help out ?

Will take it to Samsung Service Center though doubt they'll repair it.
(First of all, forgive me for my bad english) I bought mine on March 3, and checked the chip. It was sane (0xf7). It also had android 4.1.2.
For 2 days, I used the device for installing some apps (no root, no installing ROMs, etc.) I went shopping on 3rd day to get a cover for it. I asked the first shop and he took my device and wrapped it in cover. However, I didn't like the cover and told him to remove it. When the cover was removed, my phone had this error (weird): Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
I took it to a repairer and he did everything he could, but it wasn't fixed. I learned from him that the device didn't go to recovery mode (only download mode) and it didn't charge its battery. At last, he said maybe it had hardware issues.
Any ideas? What happend to my device? :crying:
Hi to be honest just few days back I had same lroblem but was able to manage to fix it in simple steps , u dont have to go to repair shop , first cud u tell me if ur phone is gng to download mode press and hold volume down + menu + power button , if it does take u to a scree where it says press volume up to continue , chck and reply back will tell u what to do its jus about 10mins to fix ir phone .

So I got a new ZL from Newegg and I put CM 10.1.3 on it and it was working perfectly for 3 weeks.
Well this morning it started to act weird. Updating Apps prompt came up, random reboots. Then suddenly I wasn't able to boot into CM 10. It boots up to show the Clockworkmod android logo, but as soon as it starts to boot up CM, it shuts off.
I tried Factory Resetting it, wiping dalvik cache, wiping cache, wiping battery stats, everything. I even went back to the stock ROM, and nothing. I'm thinking it's a bad battery problem but.. I really hope that it isn't. It's a new phone.
Any help is very much appreciated!
*EDIT*
I also forgot to mention that I can power it on and it works perfectly fine only when plugged into a power source.

CWM don't use to many off battery power, that's why it didn't shut down on you...any other app or when it on, it uses battery more...so it will randomly reboot....if you don't know what to do, you can only send it to Sony servise center for repair....if you have warranty, you should relocked your bootloader and unroot your device...

Hey @goldbolt did you find out what the problem was? Because I have the exact same problem, it stays on when I'm in CWM but doesn't boot into CM but if I plug it in a power source it works fine. I'm really hoping you know what the problem is or if you found a way to solve it. Thanks in advance!

So I kind of did figure out the problem. I re-locked the bootloader and put the stock un-rooted ROM back on there and I called up a Sony representative (got the number from newegg reps) and we very painfully slowly walked through just trying to upgrade the system software with PC companion but alas, it was all in vain. So I was instead that I was still covered under warrenty and to just send it in and we would go from there. He also said that it's a larger than not chance that I won't have to pay anything for repairs. But basically... just send it in man. I'm very sad and bothered by this but oh well. Nothing much I can do now. I hope I helped you out.
Did you relocked it using flashtool? and where did you get the stock unrooted rom? sorry for bothering, but i really don't want to brick my useless phone lol

Yeah, I relocked using flashtool and I put the stock rom back on there via flashtool as well. I got the stock rom from http://www.xperiablog.net/forum/resources/categories/xperia-zl.9/ and just flashed it over when I connected it (by holding down the VOL Down button and plugging it into my computer).

Plug into PC. Let drivers install..then reboot boot loader. Type fast boot devices and see if your device is recognized. I am thinking your PC isn't seeing your device.
