after I tried to flash stock rom by flashtool, I can't turn on my ion..nothing appered on LED, no vib, nothing on screen.
what should I have to do? doesn't work power+vol down or vol up..plz help:crying:
thanks
press power + volume down (do it for a good minute just to ensure
(you said that you tried it but if it did not work then you did it wrong or are lying...)
pull the battery or wait for the battery die
I don't know if ion has the same battery reset combo like xperia s but you can try:
Hold volume up + power for 15 second,until you get 3 vibrations.
This like removing and re-inserting the battery.
Try to re-flash the firmware after that using flashtool.

After the flash did you unplug your phone from the pc and try to turn it back on or hold power + volume up for 5 seconds?

If you can get into download mode you can just reflash the ftf in flash tool, binarys script seems to cause more issues then it causes. Just flash your ftf in flashtool boom roots gone

Hi My phone died when i was in the middle of flashing a kernel. So then when i tried to start it, it just shows up the google img and the unlocked lock.
If i press Vol down and power i get into a mode where it says downloading... do not turn off target!! so i can't get into recovery mode?? If i connect it to the pc at this stage the pc says that some usb is not working.
Thanks in advance!

Pull the battery then then put it back in and use volume up/down + power and then choose recovery. Then reflash the correct kernel while you have the phone plugged in for a charge. On a side note, never flash anything when your battery is low.

Oh i did a misstake. i started the phone with just vol down and power. and then you get in some other mode. But with vol up/down + power works. so i got into recovery and it worked na i had alot of battery i just didn't have the back thing on and the battery fell out :/
Anyways it works now Thanks!
My ION got brick.
I had my bootloader unlocked. I was trying to update my phone via flashtool. But unfortunately that my computer unexpectedly shutdown when flashtool is on about 50%. Then my phone become bootloop (at the SONY logo).
I soon restarted my PC and hold Vol+ & power for 8 seconds to hard reset my phone. But when I tried to get into the Flashmode, I found it was not only unable to get into the Flashmode but also unable to boot. I even tried to hold Vol+ & Power for about 2 minutes but nothing happened.....
Idk what to do now... Now I have my ion charging with EP850 for about 50 minutes but nothing happened. (No LED, No Screen lighted, No button lighted) Anyone who can help me?

You need to pull the battery somehow. Try holding volume and power again

Use the recover from soft-brick thread sticky'd in the general section. Or click the link in my signature. Read the OP for help then post with info about phone. Like is it rooted, unlocked, current Rom, what happened, what you have tried. You will get help there.

I also had this problem. I disconnect the battery and reconnect while ready for connect in fastboot mode. Otherwise it can't be done. So try disconnecting and reconnecting.
Sorry for my English.

Do you have a locked bootloader like my Ion does? If thats the case, you have to re flash clockwork recovery every time you restart your phone to be able to access the custom loader.

Also try fast booting the same kernel again to reinstall the cwm

If you have not modified anything from the phone and u just updated from Sony then call Sony, it is under warranty and any issue with the Phone they will fix it or give you a new one.

Did you... Install a recovery? Just asking because you said not rooted.

Hi, I'd appreciate someone can help me. :fingers-crossed:
I have an AT&T Sony Xperia Ion that is not able to boot-up for some reason. It's been stuck in the Sony boot-up animation ever since I powered it down yesterday. The phone is rooted and the bootloader is locked. It has a Generic Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM.
Can anyone help me perform a factory reset using the hardware buttons, through a fastboot setting, or if not possible, then how do I get the phone to delete all its data and start fresh?
I really would appreciate your help! Thank you!
it'll be corrupted data somewhere if its done it for no reason. so you'll have to flash the firmware again with flashtool wiping data and cache etc in the top right tick boxes

Hi Ben, do you know how will my phone be recognized by the computer if it's in a boot-loop? Is there a specific pattern I have to follow in order to have it set up for flashtool?
Thank you!
Ahem...first hit. And in a most unexpected place
Once it's powered off, you can flash a clean ftf using Flashtool. Flashtool will tell you to hold down the "back" button as you plug in the USB cable. Since the Ion's "back" button is a capacitive button, that won't achieve anything. On the Ion you need to hold down the "volume down" key instead.

Hey, thanks for the info, but I didn't really ask how to power it off. I've already done that. I wanted to do a factory reset and couldn't find any button combination to do so.
Thanks for the flashtool information. I will try it tonight and let you know how it goes.
you can just use flashtool to wipe data i guess. but there's no button combination that I've heard to do so

That is a method proven to not work on countless occasions. All that combo does is restart the phone; by no means does it reset anything. After the phone vibrates three times, the phone will either stay off or boot normally.

Power + Volume up (1 vibration) = Restart
Power + Volume up, held for some time(3 vibrations)=Shutdown
@bbonline - So after doing the latter, you can easily connect your phone in flash mode (green led)

Yes, and that's how you perform a factory reset on the Sony Xperia Ion if you've forgotten the pattern lock screen. You need to install something called "Flashtool". This program has the option to wipe data and cache when you flash the firmware. I used this method last night to successfully perform a factory data reset on the Xperia Ion.
