[Q] Bricked my Xperia Arc

Hi guys,
I did something very stupid and it seems I've bricked my arc for good
My Arc had unlocked bootloader and was on rooted 2.3.2. When the phone found firmware OTA update, I chose to download it, then the phone rebooted and started installing new firmware. After a minute or so, it turned off and that was the end, it's not possible to turn it on any more. The led won't even lit up. Is there anything I can do to revive it ?

Arrrgh, this exact same thing happened to me, I woke up and it said there was software update available (I have unlocked bootloader and rooted 2.3.2)
I blame still being mostly asleep on hitting ok. Now I have a brick!

Some more info.
I've tried pulling the battery and putting it back in, It still won't power on.
I've tried holding down menu and plugging it into USB to reflash it and the blue light doesn't come on.

Sorry to hear that, and many people have this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106250
Can't update firmaware through OTA after unlocking bootloader

Sorry to hear about your phone
I always turn of the "auto check for updates" thingy on android. Learned the hard way on my Desire when it got updated to Froyo over OTA and had to wait a while for root lol.
Anyway,SE provided the info to unlock the bootloader and that an OTA coming from them bricks the phone is kinda silly. Far as i know u can't update through SEUS (might be wrong) when it's unlocked and it would be a nice idea maybe to not be able to install the OTA update either.

won't work if you can't get it into flash mode.

Can't you get it into Fastboot mode (give it a few hours charge..) then pull the battery for 30 seconds...
then hold the menu button while plugging the usb cable in... should (in theory) go into fastboot mode - then you can fastboot flash a fresh system.img

Tried - no help though. Any other ideas? Or just to go and buy a new one?
By the way, did the same thing: my Arc LT15i has/had unlocked bootloader, rooted 2.3.2 (first firmware) and is/was 3.0.A.2.181. While preparing to try to lock bootloader in order to use SEUS and upgrade firmware, I've connected the phone which asked me to check for the updates and found T-mobile update (approx. 40Mb). Asked to dowloand and an idiot pressed "OK". And now, everything is black - just as the mask of the phone is.
The green light just blinks when the "power on" button is pressed, or charger is plugged in.

Can't it be unbricked with flashtool?

[UPDATE] to my previous post:
Steps I have done:
1. Charged the battery for 4-5 hours
2. Flashed my Arc using the manual for flashing by @Step666
3. The progress went well and at the end there was a message:
"INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
INFO - Then go to application settings
INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging"
I have tried to turn on the phone. There was a small vibration as when you're turning on the phone (note: before flashing there was not even this vibration when pressing power on button), but the screen remains black.
Any ideas for next step(s)? Thanks for trying to help!

How can you repair a bricked phone with pc companion? Dont u need the phone to be booted and running?

No, but it will need flash mode. Hold back button while plugging in usb to pc. If not recognized, use Wotan server.

Found the problem myself, after sliding up the little black test point cover, it interfered with the screen, so holding the top left corner tight enabled the screen, so shook the phone a bit and it's fine now, must have been wedged somewhere it shouldn't have been.

Bricked ION.... need help

So, i have update my ion to ICS LT28h, my wife's ion we waited for the official AT&T update. I downloaded PC Companion, connected the phone, started the update process. I did all i was told on every screen. the phone never updated and now does not power on. no lights when plugged in to charge or connect.

1) hold the power + volume down for like 15 secs...(untill you feel a vibrate)
2) download flashtool at http://androxyde.github.com/
-----Install
3) download whatever FTF you want at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752345
----move it to C:\Flashtool\firmwares
make sure drivers are installed(find them in C:\Flashtool\drivers
4) Launch Flashtool
5)select the thunderbold
----select the ftf
6)insert the micro usb end into phone (leaving the regular usb out of computer)
----it will tell you some instructions on how to flash but they are for different xperia phone
7) while holding the volume down button while the phone is off (From step 1)
insert REGULAR usb into computer
it should say flashing, or your comp might say installing driver, or it might just say drivers not installed..

If it is an AT&T phone do you really want to update to LT28h?

why not install lt28h
all you have to do is just flash the extra ftf
and then just change the APN

No reason to use the LT28h anymore since the LT28i and LT28at both have ICS and root.

In hope that someone's still looking at this thread, here is my situation: I tried flashing a prerooted image via fastboot and landed in a Sony bootloop. Then somehow I was stuck in fastboot-mode (led: static blue) and let the phone drain its battery. Now I'm able to get into flashmode but when flashing the chinese FTF with the Flashtool it stops at 1% with status "Processing .......sin" (sorry don't know the file exactly).
When I'm trying to power it up now the Sony logo comes up followed by an exclamation mark in a triangle... could you tell me what options there are left? I saw these prerooted images (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669906), but there is none for the Ion, so I don't know what could be the next step. If I just had back my normal system... I used to flash my Galaxy S many times so I'm not that unexperienced, but it seems I really have a problem here:crying:
Any help is appreciated!

What model are you working with? And where did you get this prerooted image (the one you tried to flash)? From the link you posted I don't see one for the ion. Anyway, based on my own soft brick experience, you'll prolly need to let the phone battery drain, then charge (process can take a day or so), then try and flash your stock FTF via Flashtool.

Thx for your hints! It is kinda frustrating to wait until it is fully loaded, then try flashing, then load and wait again... but the 1%-bug seemed to be a major bug as it is fixed now in the new version 0.9.8 of the flashtool.IGonna tray again tomorrow and report my status. I already checked popfan's thread to get a point if mydevice really is bricked or not. So again thanks to all of you!
Just out of curiosity: is there a possibility to flash a prerooted ftf-file? I live in Switzerland where I bought the lt28h version. And I haven't found a prerooted. img file for flashing via fastboot. Just want to root it, custom roms etc. later

Alright, I was able to flash the chinese FTF and got my phone back working:laugh:
But I had to install the newest version 0.9.8 of the flashtool to not get the 1%-bug again. After this roooting via bin4ry's script worked well and now I'm happy happy happy. Thank you all!

I also had problems with flashtool 9.7. I used 9.0 with no problems. Didn't know about 9.8.

as the OP of this thread, thought i'd update. After reading a few threads i discovered the power/volume button trick. tried volume down with no luck, but power and volume up worked. PC Companion did not work in upgrading the phone. just kept telling me to disconnect my battery, and that if the batter cannot be disconnected to skip that step. But it wouldn't go to the next step. So I tried SUS. Worked perfectly.
So, My phone is running lt28h and my wife is on lt28at. There are some differences in the way data is downloaded. looking at my AT&T bill, the data downloads, i assume for apps that get updated, seem to be different sources. also my phone has significantly larger downloads even though we have similar apps. I do have a couple of weather apps she doesn't have that might be responsible for that.
I'd like to do some additional comparisons, but think i'll be flashing the AT&T rom on my phone soon.

Totally Depressed : My Xperia Play is Stuck at Sony Ericsson Text at Boot Screen !

Hello Everyone
I tried to find a solution without troubling anyone, so I searched a lot and a lot of threads all over the internent with no hope . I have tried as many possiblesolutions as I could find even those which are not meant for xperia play. I will explain everythingvery clearly for those who want to help or even try to ...
The Problem :
My Xperia Play suddenly doesn't get pass the Sony Ericsson text at the boot screen which appearsas soon as you turn on the device. It keeps hanging on that white text on that black background for hours until I pull out the battery . I then found out that if I connect my charger before turning on the device it will boot normally as usual . I also found out that as soon as I disconnect the charger cable , the phone will immediately turn off. Another important issue is that even when I mamange to boot the phone normally by the charger , the screen does not respond to my touch even in CWM touch recovery in Doomkernel . Despite that , I can operate the phone completely using the key pad . That means the phone is full functional except for the " boot " and " touch " problems.
What I have done so far :
- I flashed different stock firmware FTF several time via Flash Mode including .42 , .58 enhanced , and .62 using flashtool with flashing ending in success each and everytime .
- I flashed different kernels via Fastboot Mode including DoomlordKernel v14 (GB ) , DoomlordKernel v3 ( ICS ) , and Lupusv11 ( ICS)
- I have accessed CWM recovery serveral times and formated each and everything that could be formatted including data , system , cache ..etc
- I have also tried flashing different ROMs such as NXT 1.3 and Markpython XPlay ICS
- I have put phone in a rice bag in case it had moister or water damage !
- I have disassemble the phone completelypart by part and found nothing damaged so I cleaned it and ressambeled it again
- I have left the phone for days without turning it on . I also tried keeping the battery out for several hours.
- I have used a replacement new battery just in case it was my battery has a problem.
- I relocked my bootloader and repaired my phone via Sony Update Service and the repairing process endedin success.
The results so far :
Nothing changed at all . After doing all of the above and repeating it. I even did more things I can't remember now.Everything is still the same. The phone is stuck at SE text at boot screen and if connected to charger then turned on it will boot normally but the touch screen doesn't respond for some reason I can't figure out , although the digitizer is intact.
What I am doing now :
- I have no more trick to try and I am totally depressed about this ZOMBIE Xperia Play which is half working and half borken.
Thank you very much for your time and for trying to help
I am waiting for your suggestions ...

For your touch screen problem, I doubt that the digitizer is damaged. As for your booting issue, I'm not sure.

looks like the battery doesn't give enough power to the phone

Maybe it is invisabely damaged . However, if I can't fix my boot issue , getting a replacement digitizer is just a waste of money.

The power turns on and the screen turns on when the I power the device. The problem is booting into the system.
It get stuck at Sony Ericsson text . However, it's very mysterious why the phone turns off when the charger is disconnected , perhaps the real question is : how come the battery powers the device but can not boot it and keep it running ?

You didn't say what version is your xperia play is. Is it R800x, R800i, R800a, R800at? If you have the xperia play CDMA version you cant use GSM kernel or roms.

I dropped my phone (after replacing the housing) and had the same thing happen to me. Opened it up again and the digitizer cable was loose. Fixed it for me.
EDIT- My phone would turn on without the need of the cable, but i couldnt mount my sd card/enter mtp unless i connected the usb cable prior to turning it on (so my issue was slightly different).

I already opened up my device and disconnected the digitizer cable and reconnected it and the touch was
still not working but I'll try it again as soon as I fix my boot issue. The phone doesn't boot to the system
unless connected to the charger prior to turning it on.

my phone is only 6 months old ... It runs perfectly when connected to charger but as soon as I disconnect it the phone turns off ... using a new battery doesn't solve the problem ... what could it be that causing this ?!

Final Solution to your problem
You will have to use odin. Just connect it to a laptop/desktop and run Odin. It will fix your problem and if this doesnt work you will have to send it to a Sony centre in your neighborhood. But I am sure odin will fix it. I had a similar problem once. So try odin.

I'm pretty sure Odin is only for Samsung phones as the phone has to be in "download mode" for anything to work and well Sony devices don't have a download mode

Odin is only for Samsung phones, and I'm having an issue quite similar with my Play R800at. I just got it from a friend. It boots, continues up to ATT screen, then resets. I can't figure out how to boot into recovery, I can't find flashtool, I'm completely lost. I should have stuck with my S3.

Well Sony xperia devices don't have a stock recovery...so it should go into fast boot if you take the battery out and hold search on the phone,plug the USB into the PC and the phone led should turn blue and bam your in fast boot

I did fix the boot loop issue. If you download the Sony pc companion, hold the back button and plug the usb in at the same time, it will download a repaired version of the latest firmware and fix the boot loop.

Just wondering but did anyone solve the initial issue as the same thing has happened to my xperia r800i

1. Flash ftf with flashtool
2. Flash gb/ics/jb kernel
3. Flash gb/ics/jb rom via the kernel recovery
It should do it but kernel has to match the ROM.
Example: if i want to flash jb rom then I have to flash jb kernel.

[Q] [HELP] Xperia ZL C6503 is Stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.

Hello all.
Yesterday i was using my XDA App on my XZL and somehow the xda app mislead me to some Samsung subforum instead of the ZL original Android Development Forum where i surely clicked on that. Then i thought there was a new rom... downloaded and flashed with no errors inside NUT's Recovery and then it turned into a brick. So no response from my ZL no charging LED, there is no way to go into Fastboot or Flashmode. It will be always recognized as QHSUSB_DLOAD in windows.
What i tried is a tool for linux from here http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm and at the end it says qdl reset but its still bricked. So i dont know what to do anymore. Oh and i never Unlocked my ZL i just had Exsistenz 5.0.0 Rom installed on it.

What happens when you connect it with your pc, does your computer still recognize it as a phone? Did you try to use pc companion repair function?

when i connect it will be seen as QHUSB_DLOAD, PC Companion and SEUS dont see the because of that.

have you tried the reset button? press it and hold it in and you should feel one vibration after a few seconds....keep holding it untill it vibrates 3 more times and it should turn it off/reset it.
then try using flashtool.

Yeah i tried the reset button but its not working anymore its not even vibrating. It seems its complete dead.

there is one thing i could do, to rewrite the phone through QPST from qualcomm but i dont have the files for my phone, so i would need a backup from an c6503 from QPST

just a thought...there was a time or two when just pressing the rest button did not work for me, what i had to do was hold in the power button at the same time as pressing the reset. hold them both till you feel one vibration, keep holding till you feel 3. sorry if thats no help.

i Tried that but dont works too. Now i startet again ubuntu and did try the QHSUSB fix, so the ZL will be recognized as qualcomm modem blabla QDL mode that means qualcomm download mode. So when i do the qhsusb fix it will exit the qdl mode and try to reboot, but there are no partitions anymore on the phone so the phone enters again in QDL mode. When it exits QDL mode it will be connected as Qualcomm inc. in Ubuntu. at this time the Red led flashes for a few seconds until it gets back to QDL mode.
When the phone is unplugged and i press Power button one single time then the Led flashes 3 times Red, when i plug it in at the charger it flashes 1 time for maybe 1 second in Red, but doesnt start to charge. Then it seems to hang up so i need to press the reset button and it goes to QDL mode again, thats all i found out now. And sorry for my bad english
I hope some Dev could help me.

Now i found and Linux app called emmc_recovery which i can flash some .sin files some succesfull with no errors and some files abort. so i need an bootloader for my zl c6503 doesnt matter what file type it is. So how can i find one ?

Sorry, I can't help you. But there is a threat called Disaster Recovery. It's created by NUT, the dev who created the dual recovery for our phone. Since that threat covers ZL, Z and other Xperia-phones, many more people will read it. Maybe you can get help there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229250

Sorry, but your phone is hard bricked. I experienced the exact same issue on my Xperia T. The only fix is through JTAG, or send it back to Sony and hope they replace it.

So you somehow through your own ineptitude or ignorance attempted a flash of Samsung software on a Sony phone and it bricked.....and you blame Sony? Interesting.

Where i ever blamed sony for my fault ?? And where i am ignorant ? You seem a typical troll.
If the XDA App would lead me to to right forum this would never ever happen. I flashed thousand times and never had a brick with my HTC One X. You can say what you want but the quality of Sony is far behind.

In my case, I flashed a custom Xperia T kernel from a dev who modified S1_BOOT and the bad flash put my phone in the QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. I tried absolutely everything and nothing worked, the phone was completely bricked. Now, if this can happen with a bad flash from Sony, imagine the havoc cross flashing device manufacturer's causes! Samsung software on a Sony platform? It's deader than dead.

Xperia S freezing at DoomKernel screen and drivers problem.

Hi all! It's my first post but i hope it won't brake any rules..
A week ago my friend gave me Xperia S smartphone for few days because i lost my phone. It was working really good and i didn't notice anything what could worry me.. But once i came back home late at night and Xperia S was out of power. I didn't expect anything and just plugged in charger. Red light showed up and.. Nothing. The phone didn't start. I tried power button + volume up (nothing happened). I tried with 2 batteries and nothing. Tried Plugging in that putting in battery and it started. I thought that my problem is solved, but it wasn't.
DoomKernel screen appear and phone freezed. After 15 minutes of waiting in hope that my Xperia will maybe go through it I decided to take off the battery. And i stuck.
What i know?
This Xperia has DoomKernel onboard but i'm not sure about version(?).
And there is an ROM on it. Probably 4.2.2 but i'm not sure what ROM is it. And can't ask anyone cause my friend got this phone from another one who left our country and we lost contact with him >.>
What else.. Few times i tried to turn on the phone than get into Recovery and i did. I thought that maybe this is problem with rom and i could flash other one or something and it could work... But than i get problem with drivers. I installed drivers from flashtool and Google drivers with SDK. When i tried to use sideload "Device not found" appear...
Unfortunelly i've no idea if there is USB Debugging turned on... Same with unknow resources.
Please Help my guys cause i don't want to use my Nokia C3-01 again

A week ago my friend gave me Xperia S smartphone for few days because i lost my phone. It was working really good and i didn't notice anything what could worry me.. But once i came back home late at night and Xperia S was out of power. I didn't expect anything and just plugged in charger. Red light showed up and.. Nothing. The phone didn't start. I tried power button + volume up (nothing happened). I tried with 2 batteries and nothing. Tried Plugging in that putting in battery and it started. I thought that my problem is solved, but it wasn't.
DoomKernel screen appear and phone freezed. After 15 minutes of waiting in hope that my Xperia will maybe go through it I decided to take off the battery. And i stuck.
What i know?
This Xperia has DoomKernel onboard but i'm not sure about version(?).
And there is an ROM on it. Probably 4.2.2 but i'm not sure what ROM is it. And can't ask anyone cause my friend got this phone from another one who left our country and we lost contact with him >.>
What else.. Few times i tried to turn on the phone than get into Recovery and i did. I thought that maybe this is problem with rom and i could flash other one or something and it could work... But than i get problem with drivers. I installed drivers from flashtool and Google drivers with SDK. When i tried to use sideload "Device not found" appear...
Unfortunelly i've no idea if there is USB Debugging turned on... Same with unknow resources.
Please Help my guys cause i don't want to use my Nokia C3-01 again

Side load feature doesn't work most of the times. trying pushing ROM to the phone while it is in recovery. to push the files use the command:
Code:
push /pat/to/rom.zip /sdcard
Else You can simply flash the stock ftf.
