my device now wont boot and wont even flash any light.
Does flashing in flashtool keep the device charged?

I think so. Remember to press the back key when the image appears and the green light you can let go. and just wait for the end. Btw if you can. first charge your phone doesn't matter any light turn on
good luck :thumbup:

[Q] Phone doesnt start

Hello,
I'm using Arconium rom when i tryed to install the CM9 to test, well i just flashed with fastboot the new img from FX and install the rom. The instalation started but returned an error that i don't remember something about lt8i (my phone is lt5i).
I go to flashtool and tryed to get back to stock rom, but without sucess, now my phone show the Sony Ericsson logo and later it stay black.
Thinking i can fix this i relock the bootloader with flashtool files (found on Xperia Arc forum) and still not fix. Now i cannot unlock the bootloader "oem failed" and the phone doesnt start.
Please someone can help-me with a tutorial or something else ?
Take battery out, connect it to pc, press the back button and now plug in the battery again and see if it connects in flashmode then.

[Q] C6502 not booting up

Hello,
I tried flashing a custom rom today, went for pac man rom, unlocked my bootloader, flashed boot.img but forgot to put the zip in the phone, and couldn't sideload it because the phone wasn't detected by adb. I tried looking for a stock boot image, found one(by doomlord, latest firmware) , but when I flashed it and fastboot restart, the phone wouldn't boot up anymore, I just have the red led on all the time. When I press the reset button, the phone vibrates once, if I hold much, it vibrates thrice. I'm keeping the phone plugged in case it's a battery issue, but in the meantime, could anybody be of any help please?
Edit: if I long press the reset button and volume down, a green light blinks for a short time, and a new peripheral (S1) is detected by PC, but after a short time undetected by PC, and red light is turned on again.
Thanks in advance!

waht colors do you have whaen the ZL reboot?
A blink green, then red stays on
Edit: I seem to have managed to get Fastboot mode by pressing reset and volume down, then releasing reset and holding power button as soon as the red light goes off. Now blue light. I'll try flashtool.

Ummm. Start the flash tool. And try to connect the phone in flash mode. Reg flash tool will show you if the phone is connecting or not. If connected in flash mode flash a tft Rom. The correct one of course.

[Q] Mysterious problems with used Phone... HELP!

Hi guys!
So, my sister got a Galaxy Ace II yesterday with some ode stuff, then I decided to install Cyanomod 11, BUT more problems appered:
1 - My Windows 7 (64bits) doesn't recognize the drivers.. so it no even list the phone as conected. I tried using Kies to detect and a bunch of packages of drivers of this smartphone model, but till now haven't made any progress... what can I do?
2 - I reseted the phone to original especifications by his own menu and tried to acess its Download and Recovery mode by pressing the 3 buttons at the same time(Vol UP + Home + Power), but for my surprise it didn't boot like it should, jus initializing normaly...what can I do?
3 - I realized, when it booted, that the boot animation has been changed, samsung logo doesn't apper ever and including I found some stuff installed that doesn't seem to be something that generic stock roms have instaled; this made me think that the room installed is not its stock. If that's so, maybe the problems listed above are resolved, but still so I don't know what to do...
I want to install Cyanomod 11, but need the phone recognized for Windows, it rooted and in download mode, but haven't find a way to begin if my computer doesn't reconize it...
Any Help?

Yes, I hold the 3 buttons at once and waited to it boot, but it jus performed the normal boot, it didn't get into download or recovery mode... I tried many times, but it's always the same...
And I know that CM has it's own boot animation, I know it, but it's not it this time... it's another one... and for what I know, it's not the samsung original one...
Having Kies installed is counterproductive to installing flashing drivers (and if you sync contacts and calendars with Google I can't even think of why you need it :angel
Try unplugging the cable while entering recovery, the LPM mode (charging while "off") screws it up (but download mode should work!)
And by "no Samsung logo", you mean not even the firmware's "Samsung GALAXY ACE 2 GT-i8160"? Sounds like you got a fake then...
But if it boots, you should check the Settings/About menu and tell us the "build version", often that's enough to know what ROM is on it now

Ryccardo, I installed Kies in the hope of having the drivers easylier recognized... But that was not my luck...
About that trick could you be more especific? Do I put the phone off with the cable plugged to PC and when I press both 3 buttons I unplug it?
About the version it is :
DM_BASE_12A_W12.43|sc6820_modem|11-02-2012
And this means that??? It's not the original one, right?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Recovery mode is: with power off, hold up+home+power (if it's on, it will reset since you're holding down power... keep holding it) and download mode is the same with down+home+power...
But that version is VERY dubious, the standard Ace never had "SC6820" (maybe it's the L model?) and I don't even think it was out at the start of 2012...

Did you succed booting in downlaod mode ( Vol down + home + power )

No, I still couldn't reboot it nor in download nor in recovery mode...
Even doing what Ryccardo said, it still boots normally..

Ah, sorry, I remember how much the <10 post restrictions sucked
But back to your problem, this is not an Ace 2... I suspected it since you posted that version number:
Googling "sc6820_modem" has http://www.pandawillforum.com/archive/index.php?t-18643.html at the end of the 1st page
2nd post there mentions "Star I8160"
Googling "Star i8160" on images shows http://www.gldron.com/media/tmp/catalog/product/6/4/64cfade20f06e0e31ffd853fb1f8009a.jpg as 5th result... while searching the version number on images shows a lot of Samsung clones...
Unfortunately you have fake galaxy ace 2 (
You cant intall any rom on that device

You surely can't use roms from these forums... There may be other roms for your device but you'll have to find out what it actually is first, which can be somewhat difficult...
Poor sister of mine.. She won't be happy in knowing this...
Anyway I wanna thank you Ryccardo and Rox!
You both Saved me a bunch of tie searching a solution that doesn't existed...
Thanks guys!

Did you tried to unlock your bootloader or tried to flash another person's TA image?
What exactly did you do that caused that?
If you tried to flash a different TA, then I think only Sony can fix that...
You press power and volume up a few seconds, if not help, try to pick battery.It helped me. Sorry for my English

You'll hard brick your phone if you restore another person's TA, that's what I gather reading around in this forum.
Sony can fix that but they'll probably charge you a lot if it's no longer under warranty, they'll just probably change the board and along with it a new drm keys.
I might be wrong about this you know...

motherboard replacement is the only solution
the best you can do is to bring the device to a Sony Center and have if fix there.
having no warranty doesnt mean they are no longer going to fix your phone, they will but it comes with a charge..

Samsung Note 4 (verizon) Hard brick fix

I was trying to downgrade my device from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 using odin and when the download was almost complete I ended up disconnecting my device on accident. (I know... I'm an idiot) Now my phone is stuck saying download "Software Update Failed" every time I start my phone. The only other thing I can do is go into download mode, but odin or my computer doesn't even recognize my device anymore. I have reinstalled the samsung usb drivers but I'm still **** out of luck. Is my device basically garbage now?? If anyone knows how to fix this I would greatly appreciate your help.

EDIT 1: I was stuck but found this post. Didn't work right away but I finally got ODIN to Flash with a TAR and a PIT file. Good luck! I unchecked auto reboot and had re partition and f reset time checked FYI. Hope it works!
