When i long press hardware button for shutting down phone, screen just fades to black and phone restarts. I can only shut down phone with software app. Yesterday i flashed ICS .587 cause i had boot loop(i tried unsuccesfully to flash custom rom). I don't remember this problem happening before that.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I assume that repairing phone with pc companion would do the trick, but is there any other solution?
Thanx in advance!
Come on people, nobody had this problem? :crying:
Flash a stock ftf, and report back, sounds like you've been cross flashing mods.

Full wipe and reinstall the ROM you are using. But get sure you do a full wipe!
If not, like already mentioned, go back to stock with a ftf file.

Ok so I installed Liquid Smooths new beta rom, it was running fine but didn't have GAPPS, so i went and flashed GAPPS and now my phone is stuck......
When it loads the rom it keeps saying "unfortunetly setup wizard has stopped working" i keep clicking ok but the same message keeps popping up over and over again.....
I have tried the vol down, powre and home button to get into recovery but all it does is turn off the phone
Pulled battery and tried holding VOL DOWN+power to get intro recover but all it does is vibrate every few seconds.....
I am stuck and have been trying to get my phone operational for three hours, anyone care to help me? I have tried ADB but it cant find my device and i can't get into the settings of my phone to turn on debugging mode

First, did you flash the correct gapps? You have to make sure what you are flashing is correct for the ROM before you flash it.
Second, you need to turn the phone off, then press power + volume up + home until it vibrates and then release to access recovery. To access download mode, its the same thing only with volume down.
Third, a bit of advice. I don't mean to belittle you, but it doesn't sound like you did your homework before you started flashing things to your phone. You need to read around a bit and get a good grasp of the basics, or you will end up in trouble, whether it be as simple as a bootloop or as bad as a hard brick. I hope you get it fixed quickly. Good luck!

Thanks, I finally got into recovery mode by holding the three buttons then letting go right after it vibrated and pressing again.... weird..
For the most part, i read every single post in a thread before i flash a rom, I have been flashing roms for years now ....... I guess i got comfortable and flashed this "beta" rom(stupidly) not thinking anything of it..... and no i didn't even check if it was the right gapp, i knew it was for 4.2.1 and i figured the beta was the same.
I am not back to a working rom, but now my phone is only able to get Edge speed, is that a modem issue?
That's an imei issue. Look around there is a thread about it. Happened to me but that got it all fixed. Under phone settings about phone if your imei is 0 you need to inject it back. Hope this helps

Hi guys,
I was working on a fix for my rom. I made it, went to CWM and flashed it. Then rebooted and evrything was absolutely fine. Then I rebooted into to wipe cache and dalvik cache and did both successfully. When I rebooted, my phone got stuck at SONY logo. I held the volume up and power button for around 5 sec but the phone did not vibrate once. It did not vibrate at all. Instead the SONY logo slowly disappeared and the phone went to a blank screen( NOT powered off ). Then it automatically powered off. Then I tried flashmode, no luck. Nothing for fastboot too. Trying to power on/soft-reset/hard-reset is of no use. The phone does nothing.
I checked the soft brick thread . It said that hard reset will lock up the phone until the battery dies. But I did not do a hard reset at all.
Any help will be appreciated.
EDIT:- Flashtool says that phone is connected with USB debugging off. Nothing happens when I connect my phone to a wall charger too.
Thanks,

The guide says that after charging for some time, the red led should appear. But my phone had around 80% charge when this incident occured. Anyway, I have kept it for wall-charging now.[NO LED light appears - nothing just blank]
if charging does not help , letting the battery die out might bring the fone out of bootloop

But there is no bootloop! The phone is just blank dead and is not responding to anything.
have u noticed the fone does not respond immediately after starting, even if its charging the led goes blank for a while and then comes back. ur fone might be stuck there

I am quite sure that it is not a hard brick so I will just wait. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks for your help
Have been charging the phone since around 3 hrs now. Still nothing. Should I continue charging it or should I just wait till the battery drains? Also, I think that removing and re-inserting the battery should work but I am scared to do that.
Please help me guys..:crying:

go to sus and repair phone,worked for me
You said you tried hold VolUP+Power... Have you tried VolUP+VolDOWN+Power at the same time? Hold for like 5 sec or more...

SUS is for locked bootloader and anyway that also requires flashmode ( green led ). My phone is absolutely dead. Tried EMMA for unlocked bootloader, but still phone refuses to go into download mode ( green led ).

I had a similar problem. I rebooted my phone after wiping system, and the phone just showed a black blank screen. I just held VolUP+VolDOWN and then held Power too. After, I felt a vibration and released the buttons and the phone rebooted so I could get back to recovery TWRP. There I used adb to solve the problem.
Maybe you should just wait to your phone completly discharge... And then charge again.

You must have actually pressed vol up+power only. One vibration means a soft-reset. Yes, I am waiting for the phone to get completely discharged. Following this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33032165&postcount=2
" You need to leave the phone on a charger to see when the battery dies. " That's what I am doing. Thanks for your help.
Has anyone tried this tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173363
Also, are there any other tools which can completely rebuild the bootloader and all other partitions?
There is a Qualcomm tool for your device, u tried that?

I was installing cyanogen mod 10 via CWM and everything went fine until I rebooted after installing. The phone would not reboot in to android.
The phone is stuck on a black screen with no power light showing - it vibrates if I try a hard reboot but that is the limit of what it's doing. When it was plugged in via USB the computer installed a couple of drivers but that's it as far as any form of life goes.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
CM10 only works on unlocked bootloader.
If your bootloader is locked, use PCC or Update Service to repair your phone.

Do this -
1. Download stock ics ftf and prepare to flash it using Flashtool by androxyde
2. Press and hold the power and volume up combination until you get 3 vibrations
3. Now holding the volume down key, attach the usb cable and allow the flashing to get completed
4. Turn on your phone normally after the flashing and enjoy
Thanks.
I used the sony update service to get up and running again. As far as I was aware the bootloader was unlocked but presumably it was not which caused the problems ?

It happened because you have not unlocked your boot loader properly.

To turn it off completely, press and hold the volume up + power combination until you get 3 vibrations. At this point, your device will be completely turned off. Now in order to unlock your bootloader, kindly follow this guide - http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Good luck

It sometimes takes longer time to work. Did You get any sort of error on flashtool? Like error while flashing loader.sin? Also, does the phone get warm on the back side?

Check if the fastboot and flashmode drivers are properly installed on your pc.

Hold volume up and power button for 10-15 seconds, until you feel one vibration, and then after a while u will feel 3 continuous vibrations.. Then the phone is fully turned off.. Now connect to PC in flash mode and flash a new rom with kernel..
Good luck..!
