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?

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.

I tried a regular update via the normal procedure with Sony PC companion.
This however stopped responding during the update, so the phone got bricked with only the sony logo during boot up.
Due to the build in battery I waited till it ran out of power so I could try to flash it by Flashtool or SUS.
After connecting the USB cable it charge with orange led. After about 10 to 15 min. of charging the sony logo comes up.
I tried holding the down the volume button right after connecting the USB till the sony logo appears, but nothing happened.
It just won't enter Flashmode. Trying the volume up with powerbutton I can enter Fastboot mode.
But the phone was in original state during the update(no unlocked bootloader or Root).
Can somebody help me with this nice phone, just bought a few days ago:crying:
Any developer?
the sony logo shouldnt appear when you are trying to do flashmode or fastboot.
maybe youre doing it wrong. try again.

Thx for your reply.I guess I wasn't clear enough. After the failed update all I get is the Sony logo.
The phone got bricked by the failed update. I need to drain the battery in order to turn off the phone.
Now I'm trying to get the phone into flashmode in order to flash the firmware with flashtool. But
no success yet!
The problem is that I can't get into the flashmode by holding down the volume key. But the Fastboot mode can be activated.
Pls mind that the bootloader has been untouched, therefore locked.
So anybody got a solution?
Update
I finally managed to get the phone into Flashmode. Thx to Cognosco
But now I got another problem. I tried to flash a couple of firmwares with Flashtool.
But it all got stuck at 23%. Do I flashed with the wrong procedure or firmware?
I tried flashing older fw LT26ii_4.0.4_DE_6.1.A.2.45.ftf and a new fw LT26ii_4.0.4_6.1.A.2.55_Arabic.ftf.
Also SEUS fail in restoring/updating the phone after recognizing it in Flashmode.
What more can I try? Is the phone really dead?
Update 2
I tried different Exclusion in Flashtool. I noticed only system can't be flashed.
Since the device broke down from firmware 6.1.A.250 to 6.1.A.250 maybe I need the generic fw of 250?
I searched but couldn't find this firmware for the SL. If anybody has this fw for the Xperia SL LT26ii, pls share with me.
Update 3
I even tried to flash with Sony's own system EMMA. This got the same installation issue. Guess the phone really got bricked hard and unrecoverable.
since you can enter flashmode, try to update it with pc companion again.
just make sure you've charged your phone and you're on locked bootloader.
I tried many times to flash again with PC companion and SUS, but ends with same results. I get an installation error. The phone can only be charged for about ten minutes then the phone turns on and discharge itself. This cycle continues. I can enter Flashmode before the Logo comes up, but the phone won't charge in Flashmode.
I updated my Xperia Ion last night. Unfortunately, my phone was shut down by itself and then it've got bootloop but it s quite different from general bootloop because, when to Sony logo appear, it takes about 20 second and slowly disappear and reboot again about 6-7 times.
I've tried to carge it and i get the red led. However, it turns on automatically and everthing happen again. So, i tried to hard reset (3 vibrate) and do wall charging but it's still the same. After that, i've tried to use rubber band for flash mode while it was charging in red LED, but my laptop can't access my phone in flash mode and it's turned on by itself again. What should i do? Thank you in advance. :crying:

it should be green led.blue led is fastboot mode i think. you need flashmode
and a little more details. what were you trying to update before your phone got into bootloop?got an unlocked B/L or locked?
One more thing. Go to flashtool folder>driver folder>drivers.exe(or something like that). Install drivers for your device first. then go to the bottom of the list. select flashmode and fastboot drivers and install those as well

you have CWM>???(CWM for locked Bl i guess)
Did you take a backup???
if not...check if ROM was meant for unlocked B/L. If not,wipe cache and dalvik cache..wipe data and try...
if yes, then u have only one option. Using flashmode(green led) use flashtools to flash stock firmware

Maybe the kernel is not compatible with the rom. Have you tried to change the kernel with fastboot? I had the same probleb with an xpreria mini and sola but after 6-7 tries it worked on fastboot, and then with the cwm i flashed via sd card the new rom.

he can't enter fastboot mode as well as flashmode
and when he connects led turns red all time
if phone is alright then led gets green when battery is full
his device is not fully dead but cannot be recovered by using a usb cable or a flashtool which can be said as a hard bricked
the only way is to repair boot using flashing toolbox which can be done only in sony repair centre..
u can try this and report..

if led blinks green and off then you are in flashmode
so first make sure flashtool is running and your firmware is ready
press flash button in flashtool and flashtool will start preparing the files
when flashtool will say connect your device
then that time you hold volume down button and connect to pc
it will detect and start to flash

Where should i paste FXP 323?
I have xperia M which i think is bricked now. It gets stuck ay the sony logo and later a black screen appears with a white horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen and restarts all over again. it is rooted but the bootloader is still locked. while connected to pc it shows qhsusb_dload and detects only fastboot mode in flash tool. it still runs the stock jelly bean which i updated using pc companion. Earlier i installed xposed framework and went goofing around in build props, may be thats what caused it. Please someone help me fix this.

Okay I did some research about this "qhsusb_dload", it means Qualcomm High Speed USB Download Mode and it doesn't translate to a good condition at all
It usually happens because your phone's bootloader is corrupted:... meaning hard-bricked..some recover from it by miracles.
From what I've researched, try putting the phone connected to a charger and full charge it, then try attempting to turn it on, keep trying, and also try pressing the power button for 15secs if it still won't boot up properly.
If all fails, then I'm sorry, I can't help you on this.. send it to the service center..
I'm so sorry for your device usually goofing around a compatible xposed with only root won't bring the phone into a total hardbrick....
This happens most commonly, from what I've researched, if you drain your phone completely to 0% and try to boot it up again..

same happens with me but it is still in flashmode and lets me flash stock rom when i bricked it, wouldn't worry about it as long as the led was green it doesn't matter if it goes off after.
