[Q] Xperia Ion Bricked? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hi guys, this is sort of a last resort thing and I've read the thread with "Xperia Ion bricked. Any fix?".
Basically, I was doing the battery callibration (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760207&highlight=battery) and so did the power + volume up button. I did this around 3 times as it went from 95% to 98% then I was expecting it to go up but it stayed at 98% so I decided to do it once more. However, instead of usually vibrating, the screen just instantly went off. Tried to power up but it didn't work. Took it off from the charger and tried all button combinations (power + volume up/down) and still to no avail.
Then I put it in the wall charger again and the LED seems to have a faint orange light coming when charging so I know it's actually charging... Then I thought it may be possible that for some reason, the battery is drained and followed the "Xperia Ion bricked. Any fix?" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771106. After around 15 minutes, the faint orange LED vanished and so I took it off the charger, did the button combinations again and didn't do anything. I put it back in the charger and see the faint orange LED...
Now it's just charging and I don't know what to do Is my beloved Ion bricked? I just got it a month ago :crying: what should I do with it?
Tried plugging it in the computer and PC Companion didn't see my device
Also I live in the UK and I got the phone from Indonesia... It still has a years guarantee but I can't go spend £500 for a ticket just to fix my phone
I'm extremely desperate, please help!

Hold power + volume up wait for one vibrate, keep holding both you should then get three vibrates in a row now turn it on normally, mine kinda did the same thing and I did this

At worst you will need to follow the Soft Brick Steps thread instructions.

Is the phone on? Meaning it's using power in some way (led on, screen is black but on, button lights stay on)? If so you may need to drain the battery, if the reset trick isn't working. Once the battery is dead (this can take up to 24 hours) and it shuts off, try charging it. Do not turn it on till it's charged more than halfway.

The phone is not on at all, the screen is not on, buttons not lighted or on and everything is like it's shut down. I've left it for like 24 hours now and I put it on charge just now, the situation is the same (( what do you think it is? I really hope I can fix it with patience since I've been patient since yesterday. Thanks for the reply but when I charge, the screen stays blank and the LED is not red, it is a slightly faint orange :/
Thanks again

Thanks for replying uchiha but I've put the phone on charge overnight which was like 8 hours and the light just goes. I'm still having this problem. I wish I could go to the sony store but I can't cause the Ion doesn't and will not come out in the UK and they have no parts for it. For now, I'll just leave it on charge for the whole day and see what happens.

Have you tried getting it to shut off then putting it in flashmode with flashtool ready to flash a ftf? Flashmode is USB+ volume down

The thing is it's not on in the first place, the screen has no backlight, no sony logo or nothing, it is as if it is shut down! I have tried to put it in flashmode with flashtool, it doesn't detect any device whatsoever! If anyone has a solution please help

I had the same problem with the x10 mini of my wife. I have solve that when I unpluged the battery connector to be sure the photo is off. After I used seus to restaure stock rom. Try this method.
I think it is possible to remove or unplug the battery.

I found something funny that my phone does, when on charge and it is left for around 20-25 minutes, the red/orange LED flashes ONCE and then there is no more LED lighting or flashing... It's really weird, I don't know what to do :/

The ion battery CAN'T be remove no matter what...and to TS,if your phone still can't be turn on,try to let the battery completely drain,and leave it like that for 1 hour,and after that try to charge back...
I afraid your phone thought it was 'on' but the screen is 'off' like my old x10 Mini Pro which when I turn on,it vibrate and on (yep,alive) but the screen is black BUT I can feel the touch and the vibration of the phone.To fix the problem,I remove my phone battery for 10 minutes and turn it on again,after that it works perfectly...

Does it blink on its own, or when you hold down buttons? Will it stay off w/o pulling the battery? If it is a steady blue light when your not touching it, its bricked.

Sounds like its overheated! This happened to me before where my phone got so hot when charging that it shut off with a blue light. I just took out the battery and set them down and let them cool for a while. Were you using the charger that came with it or a diffrrent one? It seemed to me like the charger I was using when it happened caused it cause its never happened again.

u were using aokp? what kernel? what recovery? any other mods? would like to know! thanks! sounds like its bricked!
Just a theory but is it possible that it fried the battery out and now it won't turn on cause it pretty much has a dead battery? Do you happen to have access to another battery you could try and see if it comes on? Also when you plug in the power cord with the battery in does the screen come on with the charging screen(battery with green fill showing charge level)?

Xperia S dead?

Hello,
My Xperia S which I bought in August 2012 doesn't boot anymore. A few weeks after I bought it, I unlocked the Bootlader and installed custom Kernels and ROMs and it worked fine all the time. I was on KA 22.1 SSpeed and Advanced Stock 17 and wanted to try something else, so I installed XZXperience 2 and the Elite V2-Kernel.
Well, after that, the phone worked fine but I noticed some heavy battery drain. Charging took waaay longer than usual (full charge about 4 hours with the plug) and the drain was immense. BetterBatteryStats showed me a Deep Sleep of 98 % while I lost about 15 % of battery life in ONE hour, that can't be somehow. The phone however worked still fine.
So I decided to flash the Advanced Stock Kernel again but the drain didn't stop, it was as before. I thought that the Battery Stats are maybe corrupted, so I let the phone discharge itself completely (didn't take long) and wanted to charge it fully. When I plugged in the charging cable, the first unusual thing was, that the red light appeared instantly upon connecting. Normally it would take a second or so. The second thing is, there was no logo, no battery symbol, just nothing but the red light when I plugged the cable in.
I slept a night and after I woke up, I disconnected the cable and wanted to start the phone, but nothing happened. Still, the only thing the phone does, is lighting red, when it's plugged in. Fastboot or Flash-Mode don't work, the computer doesn't recognize anything.
So...what to do? it appeared after I flashed the new ROM and Kernel, but I don't think it has something to do with them...the drain was also there with the Advanced Stock Kernel. Although I must say, that I often had flashing errors, often the device said something like:
format_volume make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
To me, it looks like the battery has a deep discharge and is dead, but I don't know, what could I probably do before sending it in? If the battery is dead the warranty should still be there, even with the unlocked bootlader, am I right?
Best regards
when you power on your phone what happen?
Ur phone boots while charging,but not charging.If this the case keep ur phone in ur hands for 10-15 min.Enter into recovery while led is pink.Flash other kernel.Else take the battery out charge it,enter into recovery flash other kernel

I can't go into recovery, because the phone does nothing, I can't start it. There's still warranty on the phone, so I'd rather not like to remove the battery...
ok so its no screen at all,
when u pressed power+volume up for 10 seconds does it vibrate?
Already tried, it doesn't...even after holding for minutes.

You could open the phone and disconnect the battery, or let the phone sit long enough for it the battery to die.
This will reset the phone.
Only problem is how long to let the battery die, as there is no way to tell.
Once the phone resets make flashtool ready to flash just the kernel, and use a rubber band to hold the volume down button in.
With flashtool waiting and button pressed plug in to PC.
It should give red led for about 10 minutes then flash.
You can read more tips & tricks in the RECOVERY thread in my signature.

Well, the incident happened a few weeks ago and after I charged it over night and it didn't work, I left it there for nearly two weeks and nothing has changed so far. In your post, you said, that you had to wait for 51 hours until your battery died but two weeks is quite long I think...
What do you suggest? I think, I'll send it in, if the battery is broken, the warranty should cover it.

Simple fix I think. This has worked for Xperia S and Xperia U. Both phone i brought as "DAMAGED". LOL. Battery is toooooo dead for the phone to detect it..... Use a wall charger to charge the battery up . I used a charger off ebay ($2 including post) that was for a Galaxy I9000 battery (old phone) and used wires and taped them to the battery..... Didn't even need to fully charge it! just like a jump start sort of thing...
Came up with the idea as at work we have to "jumpstart" car batteries to trick the charger into charging them
If you have a DC power source that puts out 4.2v at 350mA +/- 50mA then TRY IT and please let me know.

Well, I have a lithium charger for round-type-batteries, but we're talking about lithium here and if the battery is really damaged, it could be quite dangerous to charge it. The output of the charger is 1A, too, quite a bit higher.
I tried a last thing and took the battery out but it still only shows a red light while charging, so I'm going to try to send it in.
R: Xperia S dead?
IT happened The same for Me...
I was very worried..
I plugged to charge for 21h... Unplugged but Nothing!!
So i replugged iT and watched for 1H.. Suddenly IT Booted(But opened only logo Sony And Crashed!) So i Tried to unplugg and power on the phone but nothing.. No booted!!
So after 25m iT rebooted and like a furet i dropped my phone from The table and like a crazy tried to go in recovery.. So it Gone in Recovery i've Wiped ALL And Reinstalled Fw-Kernel.
So now i'm using The Xperia S

htc one x red light flashing and phone won't start

I have bought a htc one X a day ago, which was imported from some eastern country. The phone ran well for an hour or something.. and after that, it just dropped dead. The battery was about 60% when it dropped dead. And when I charge, the red light keeps on blinking. It won't turn on, or the red light will not be stable.
When i try to boot into bootloader, the phone does go into bootlader. But I have to keep my charging plug on. If i remove even for a second. the phones switches off again.
I can't go to warranty as this is a replacement. Some guidence will be appreciated. Thank you.

1. Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
2. With the device truly OFF (NOT ON STANDBY) , push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button And HOLD for 2 minutes and let go once 2 Minutes has passed.
Doing this will calibrate the Circuit within the battery charging system.

If the phone doesn't power on & If the red led doesn't turn on while charging your phone then you should take it to service centre.. Might be a problem in battery or the motherboard
There is a batch file running about that helps charge from boot loader.

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm currently in this situation myself. I read the thread suggested here, but it helps very little if you can't even get to fastboot. For what it's worth, I do have a custom recovery, but a stock image. And the mother board is okay - I've swapped in a different battery and that seems to work, but I do want to get my original battery to work...
guys i have a solution i guess .. put your phone connected to laptop or computer for several minutes dont remove . it might take sometime and afterwards you will listen the usb connecting voice and the blinking will stop and will be stable and then you can turn on the mobile
If you have a flashing power light
This is when your device has overheated and wont let you start up your OS.
Plug your phone in for afew minutes then hold down the power, volume up and down buttons at the same time untill a white developers screen comes up, disconnected your device from cable and click on recover and leave for a minute then plug you power lead back in and leave again. When you come back to you phone it the LED should be a solid color and you can then boot your device.
Any problems Message me, any time.

[Q] Xperia Ion No Response

Rom: ZperiaION 4.5
Phone: Xperia Ion ATT Locked Bootloader
Problem: My phone has stopped giving any response what so ever to me.
1) My phone was working when I woke up as i turned off the Alarm and responded to a text.
2) I check 10 minutes later and my phone is not responding at all, no screen, no vibration, no response when plugged into PC and i am not able to do a force shut down by holding down the volume and power buttons for 30 seconds.
3) what worries me is that there is no LED light or any response whatsoever, nothing from any way that i know as a decently good user of this phone. Also, before the phone went down, it was at about 90% battery so im positive the battery did not drain randomly in 10 minutes.
Hmm
Put a rubber band around your power and volume button to force off and when it finaly responds
Use flashtool or sony updater service to fix your ion unless you have a unlocked bootloader then use flashtool
Any questions just ask

Alright I have placed three rubberbands around each button, I have to go to school so when i come back in about 7 hours ill see what happens. And if there is still no response then flashtool is useless. thank you and i am trying your method
45mins should usualy do it
If not then you will kill your battery and you may not be able to recover
Anyway it may be warm
Just try flashing using flashtool then you should be fine
Damn...You never told me about the 45 minutes part . The Battery I think is dead because the Red LED was blinking while i tried to charge for the last 6 hours. So I have come to the conclusion that the batter is dead because it has never taken me this long when i fixed the soft-brick before.
Thanks for trying to help i guess @Envious_Data

I have the same problem
My lt28h randomly shutted down in school like the other one and when I connected it to the charger a red led blinked very short (about 1sec) and weak, after 3 sec the LED started blinking very fast and weak, also I were able to here quietly clicks everytime the led blinked.
I charged it for 24 hours already but I had no response, no vibration, no sound, no green or orange LED.
I flashed CM11 and just replaced my screen by myself and had a bug sometimes (once a day) that my sim-card didn't got detected and I had to restart.
Yeah, I'd just remove the battery and try to charge it separately and see if that helps.

OK I fixed it by myself actually it was pretty easy I just disambled it and reconnected the 'cable' for the battery.

[Q] Dead/bricked phone

Hi! Some time ago I wrote about not working volume buttons. Yesterday I left my phone connected to charger, and it was charging all night. This morning I found the phone turned off, I tried turning it on, but it doesn't do anything! Connected to PC - nothing, connected to charger - nothing, removing/inserting battery - nothing, other cables/chargers - nothing. It's just like without battery. Is there any way to fix it? Is it bricked? Few details about it: I have this phone about 2 months, stock 4.3 with root, locked bootloader, never damaged (falling into water, on ground etc.)
I'm Sorry , it's seems like bricked device

one and only option - flash stock 4.1.2 firmware with flashtool
if this does not work may be your phone is bricked.The only way is go to sony service center and act as a dumb , (dont tell them that you are rooted your device and tell them i dont know anything about rooting,etc..)so, usually they dont have much time and they'll replace you with new handset.
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I'm guessing there's a problem with the battery.

Hard brick
Well, I tried everything, the battery works, the phone is bricked. But I don't have warranty for it. Anyone knows how much service will cost?

Well, I placed my phone next to bed in a plastic stand, similar to this: http://thingiverse-production.s3.am...20130508-17926-1cqvuvk-0_preview_featured.jpg on bedside cabinet. That's it, I don't know how it could broke itself

My volume up button doesn't work, but I can't even get the flashmode! Nothing happens, soft reset and hard reset, it's just dead.
Check the battery

I think the best thing for you to do is to send your phone to sony. It seems like a pretty hopeless case.

Well, I think I'm going to service, I hope, that won't be expensive. :fingers-crossed:

The price wouldn't be a problem if you haven't done anything intentional/harmful to it.

That's tragic for your xperia and as you say you haven't done anything that may cause this problem than maybe it was like a short circuit or electrical surge which fried the phones chip and make it dead because as ansebovi said, if it would hv been bricked than it would hv flashed the led atleast.
