Ok after my sony ericsson xperia play did the software upgrade while on the charger, it will not boot back up!!
Not sure what happend, but when you press the power button, it only vibrates once but will not boot back up!
It just shows a black screen!!!!
I have sent it in to the shop and we are stuck as to how to get it on.
You can not even get into the boot loader screen!
Its been a week, and i don't know what the hell to do!!!
Some one please help!!!!
Does the power button light up green when you hold down the search button while plugging into a computer? If so, use flashtool to flash back to the stock firmware
Yes it dose, the tech guy and me have tried to do so, however the computer sees the device but dose not know what it is, however even when the files are finished it sitll dose not boot up!

If it lights up green then you cant get into fastboot, it should light up blue, if im not mistaken!
Is your phone Rooted, with BL Unlocked, and do you have CWM Recovery? You said you can not get into Bootload screen? Did you mean Recovery? Try pushing volume down repeatedly while pressing the power button, continue hitting volume down till you see the recovery screen. If you can get into recovery just do a nandroid recovery/restore, provided you did a back up prior to your issue.
It dose not light up blue, but it dose not go into the recovery screen at all, in fact when you press the power button, gives a small vibrate and the screen is still black!
Also when you put it on the charger the LED light is green, really frustrated.
However, I am new at this, like I said only had the device for a day, and this happened after I did a software update, so I am not sure what a CWM means, kindly clarify, think of giving instructions not just to a newbie, but to some one that has no clue what is going on! LOL sorry man I really am new to all of this, I just want it to work, so kindly provide me with step by step instructions that you would give to a five year old child.
Hmm... that's interesting. A CWM is a custom recovery. Green light when plugged in means its charging. It sounds almost like your phones LCD is not receiving a signal anymore, if that's the case, seeing as you wouldn't see anything on the screen in order to even do a recovery, I don't see a lot of options here. If its brand new, then its under warranty, take it back and exchange it.

This has nothing to do with your LCD =|.
It's sony's stupid software bricking the xperia play for no valid reason ; happened to me as well.
Only fix is to download Sony Ericsson Update Service and keep on retrying the software update after it fails ; This is not the Sony Ericsson Pc Suite ; Also try removing the battery for 30 seconds after 6-8 retries on SEUS - happened to me a few times after the original occurence since i was trying to get back to complete stock.
Thanks for the input, I was lost on how to help out on this one! I thought it was only bricking the rooted unlocked phones.

I wasn't trying to get him to use fastboot (blue light), I was saying to go into flash mode (green light)
Its still not booting up and the pc is now saying it dose not recognise my device!!
What to do????
As long as you can get into flash mode(green light, when you connect to pc) you're ok, wel re trying on seus and eventually it will work
Edit- it can take around 10 retries in my experience

Connect it to your PC with USB, Then go to support Zone in Pc Companion then select Phone software update and click Repair and follow the instructions, it worked for me when pc companion decided to brick me...
EDIT: Or you could always Flash 2.3.4, tut here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20151540 just follow the first two posts, I believe it will work if Flashmode is still working (The tut will tell you how to get into there)
correct me if I have said anything wrong, was in a rush.

When you connect the phone to the pc does the led stay green, if it does that's called flash mode , keep.on tryimg seus to flash the phine, this is not included in pc companion and is separate software

This happened to me to, so you are saying I should use SEUS to update over and over until it works?

Should I do an update or the reset and update option in SEUS?
Right back in september aljendrissimo posted a brick fix,
He is now kind of dead meaning i cant contact him because he's never online .
So does anyone know how to fix a xperia with a RED LED flashes 3 times when trying to boot.
I cant get into fastboot can get into ZEUS FLASH MODE thing.
So any answers?
Can you use flashtool to install a firmware? Hold the back button while the phone is powered off and then plug in the usb while you hold it. If a green light comes up, then you can flash a ftf in flashtool.
is your bootloader locked?? if yes, repair the phone using pc companion..
Hey guys, my xperia play R800i wont boot. what happened was I was trying to flash original firmware through flash tool and then I get an error on flashtool and it says below "device disconnected" so im like what the heck. ill give it another go, right. but then when I go and plug it back into the computer while holding the back button the LED doesnt go green instead it flashes red, three times. and the computer shows it up as an unrecognized device. I cant to a repair through PC companion and I am not able to flash through flash tool, any ideas?
ps. it is locked boot loader and it says :bootloader unlock allowed: no
if that is any help.
Put your device on charge or wait a while. A suggestion that may work

Have you tried taking battery out for a few seconds then putting it back and try to turn it back on charger.

Yes, still no luck. I have tried everything. I am waiting to get a reply back from someone who can do it. I get my HTC Incredible S back in 2 weeks anyway, it just means that I dont have a phone.

Hi,
I am in the same situation here. I tried to flash my xperia play using flashtool with a "ftf'" for the r800a. Because it was initally flashed to r800i. The flash ended fine, but the phone wont start, it is not allowing me to flash it agai because for my pc the device is disconnected and it is not charging. I am really desesperated. Any ideas?!? I had already installed the drivers for the ZEUS flash and for my phone!
Thanks
[Q]R800i wont turn on! red light blinking 3 times.
My Xperia play(R800i) wont turn on after i update. I change from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3 to root my phone. After rooting, i update the software. It turns off by itself. I dont know what to do. When i pressed the on button it will blink red light 3 times. When i charged my phone, the light turns green. Green light means battery fully charged right? but why i still cant turn on my phone?
Bootloader: unlock
Root: Yes
Please help! its my new phone. Thank you!
you should not have updated your phone that way... looks like you semi bricked it... get in touch with Alejandrissimo whether it be on here or on his site... he should be able to fix it.

Hello guys.
My Sony Xperia S got Hard bricked after i tried to partition my SDcard from TWRP recovery which unfortunately failed due to some reason.....
I had boot manager installed for dual boot and i had sony stock firmware 6.1.A.2.55 on the native and CM10 on loop ...
The partition was tried in TWRP for loop in Ext4 format
My Xperia S now does not respond to fastboot buttons as well as all other combinations ...
It doesnt light any LED not even while its connected to the charger..
The only thing that happens is when i connect it using USB cable without any combinations and the computer detects it as SEMC flash device..
Is there any method to flash using this mode?
I have tried every method on all the forums.(flashtool,fastboot,taking battery out ,power+vol up,everything )
Guys please i need serios help any experienced suggesions would be helpful ...
Please help :crying:
PS: i had never thought that trying to partition the SDcard would brick my phone..
Did you leave your phone connected to wall charger? How many hours you leave it? Mine SONY logo appear in 8 hours. Try it. It may help. Leave your phone connected yo wall charger for sometime.

Okay ill try that for sure and let u know
Wow i don't know how ...but just as i connected it to the charger the orange LED shows up .....But there is no sony logo anyway ...lets wait
nope nothing happened except the LED that glows :crying:
How the duck did you take your battery out? It has an INBUILT one, why would you take apart the entire phone?
Then, after telling you how stupidly you did that;
can you go back into the recovery? (probably yes, but it's weird)
Did you ACTUALLY take apart the phone to take the battery out? (probably not)
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? (i think you do, but not sure...)
Do you still have warranty? (probably yes)
Try again, because if the orange LED showed up, it's probably not too late...
Now go and use FlashTool once more...

yes i took the phone apart took the battery out ...waited long enough for the capacitors to discharge and then again put it in...
no i can't get back into the recovery ...i can't even boot the phone and no combination is working
yes i have an unlocked bootloader
no on't have the warranty..
The orange LED glows up while charging only
the phone does not go to fastboot or any other mode so i can't use flash tool
the only thing that comes on the computer when i plug the USB is "SEMC flash device" ....which non of the tools recognise
Guys please ...is there anyone out there who can help me? :crying:
I do believe you DID have warranty up until the moment you took apart the phone (I think the repair service guys would fix your phone without chacking for a locked BL...)

They wont know you took it apart. There is no tamper protection.

I'm starting to think that my case could be a corrupted bootloader, where I have to use JTag to try to save, but I don't know anyone who have a JTag, neither in my country.
I don't know what could be, but I still entering in flashmode or fastboot and my PC recognize my phone with testpoint, so I think that maybe is not a hardware problem...

Hi, I decided to post it here because it seems that anything I post on Xperia Ion forum is not read, it is inactive.
I already searched everywhere and I'm loosing my hopes. I'm trying to revive an Xperia Ion and this is what I get:
When I plug the phone in the wall charger the red led turns on for some minutes and then turns off.
The same happens when I plug on PC, when the led turns off it is detected as "Somc flash device" in windows device manager and this shows in flashtool:
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Nothing changes if I plug in pc with volume + or - pressed, it don't goes into fastboot or flashmode.
I hope you could help me. Thanks

I'm probably not the best person to help with unbricking but have you tried following the unbricking guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170 ?
Assuming your PC has the correct drivers installed (i.e. you could previously connect your phone in flashmode), what happens when you try connecting the phone while holding the Volume Down key? Does the LED light up green, red or not at all?
Fix is simple ...
1 Install flashtool drivers
2 the problem from the kernel !!
Install stock kernel ( take it from FTF ) and install it via Flashtool ...
Now it should be fixed
