My Xperia play won't start.. help - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys so I own an Xperia Play r800i and I was tempted to Unlock my phones bootloader (I did).. so then I tried downloading a custom kernel and I was following the instruction of this video on youtube .. So when I finished doing everything it didn't turn on.. I'm not sure what i did wrong.. I tried using the flashtool, but it keeps disconnecting when the phone is in flashmode..
I hope you guys can help to bring my phone back to life

It was around 40% I'd say.. Right now I put it to charge, but instead of the orange light there's a red light on.. Doesn't seem like it's charging.

flash fw back using flashtool. its should be fine

Check ur driver. Mybe it needs updating/re-install. Hope that helps.

I tried another battery it still won't boot, I went to the extent of trying my battery in another xperia play and the battery works perfectly in it. I'm stumped plz help

You may have bricked it. Have you tried installing any rooms lately? Consider flashing back your stock firmware with "flash tool".
I have a stock device that has never been flashed or tampered with. Does anyone know what the flashing led mean?

Leave it charging. Sometimes the battery is too low to turn on. If not, try a new battery

Didnt u read.... I used another battery in it and it didnt boot, plus I tried my battery in another xperia play and it worked!!
If it's never even been rooted, then you should take it in for repair. Maybe a hardware issue.

Maybe if he researched but oh well, this what I have and sometimes it indicates a hardware component is damaged meaning find out what it is,
you should:
Go to your phone provider and ask them do NOT MENTION ABOUT ANY ROOTING OR BL UNLOCKING.
Find out what problem it has .
Or never use it again (Dont do it)
In my case the digitlizer "Screen" is broken, because back in march I used to boot my phone and the screen wouldnt sometimes work of course there could be another problem but...
Yea I realised I tried turned it on with the battery in the wrong way. I realised it didn't come on and when I fixed the battery right it still wouldn't come on. It just kept flashing the red light only when I tried to charge via USB or wall charger

[Q] xperia s battery dead

hello, so my phone turned off after the battery finished normally but after that it was accidentally turned back on several times by the power button being pushed from my pocket. now it shows a red led when plugged in and after a while it turns on the off when it reaches the lock screen i dont know what to do please help
I am having trouble comprehending (sorry)
But what i understand is:
Your phone FINISHED charging and then it turned off (by itself? or did you do it?). While in off mode, it was turned on (but what u mean several times?)
And the red LED means low charge :/ and it reboots and turns off at the lock screen etc
Anyway:
I would recommend reflashing the firmware, only if you have enough battery to do so

thanks for the reply but no thats not what i mean. what i mean is my phones battary is 0% and when i put it to charge it charges for 2 min then turns back on but when it reaches the lockscreen it wont have enough battary so it automatically turns off and the process repeats
Yeah i had that problem too dont panic.If ur on a custom kernel,put the phone on charging,when led is red,phone off.Keep the phone in ur hands for 10 - 15 min.When kernel logo appears and led is pink press the volume up button.Flash other kernel in recovery.
There z no other method except this,even fastboot will not work
Press Thanks

well did that but it didnt work either the problem is that my battery is on 0% so it didnt work
This has happen to me kany times, this is what you do:
-First charge it when its off untill it boots
-Then do a hard power off (vol + until three vibrations)
-once its off plug in your charger and it will enter offline charging and just let it charge till about 20%
-Then you can turn it on

thanks for the reply but it still reboots, im a noob i know but does this have anything to do with bootloops or anything
No its usually a kernel problem, as many others have had this problem before. What kernel and ROM/firmware are you using? Nova kernel has such a problem for offline charging.

Leave it charging for at least 8 hours( or until you get the red led) then try to flash again.

IF i read correctly you should leave the phone charging until you see the battery icon on the screen, otherwise the phone is still on low level charging.

Well,I sent it to Sony and used my warranty...
Seems like it can't be fixed by normal flashtool or PC Companion or SUS because in flashtool,it says failed verification block or something like that...in PC Companion,it just said no update for your phone when I want to repair it...also same applied to SUS...
I think it is really fu**ed up..even it can be boot,but it can't be fixed normally by using those tools...I can say that this phone are now hardbricked but in other way which can be turned on but cannot be fixed...and seriously : The guy at the Sony Center is like a 'Yes' guy which always said "Yes,I understand...so this phone cannot go to menu eh?Okay,I understand...*fill in the warranty card*" without even check out the phone through it xD :highfive: anyway,thanks for trying to help me...

Red led, leave it for a bit more , maybe a hour see it turns on
If not try power + volume up, see if it force off and try turning on
You may need to reflash firmware

[Q] Battery Issue! HELP! PLEASE! WHAT TO DO?

Hi guys,
I have an Xperia Acro S, and it's 1.5 years old . Yesterday i noticed that after playing some candy crush and clash of clans (to consume time), my battery has not gone down yet! Still 100%! and then after a few hours, it shut down. Charged it then in the logo of the battery( before booting, turned on because of plugging in a charger), it was red then the screen went off ( AFK) then right after it i pressed the lock button and the Battery's FULL , ye with the battery picture with green, but just a few seconds ago it was red. I don't know if it's just the battery percentage "counter" has a problem or the battery itself is not charging. Please help, Did a factory reset but it wasnt helpful. WHAT TO DO? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
