I flashed a new ROM (Nova unofficial CM10) and let the battery drain till it went off, normally it starts charging again when I plug it in the wall charger, but this time nothing it seems :crying: the red led is on, but the battery doesn't get warm and it doesn't turn on normally. Sometimes it randomly boots till the unlock screen shows up from the ROM, but the screen isn't responding and then it turns of again. I tried to do something in the recovery, but since there are no other ROM files on the Phone I can't try any other kernel or ROM. USB storage doesn't seem to be working in this recovery... or it might be my windows 8.
Should I wait a few "hours"?? The red led is still on... so it's doing something right?
/help
:crying::crying:
Ok here is the solution It happend to me also ok dont worry just update ur phone using Sony official ics update called SUS and dont worry about that ur devise is not charging and neither connecting to pc just connet via USB follow the instruction from SUS.

the bootloader is unlocked... pretty sure SUS won't be working, but I will try. And I don't have a removable battery system but I can forcefully shut it down.
edit:
it keeps showing up the red led, flashmode and fastboot don't work.
Ok then u have the only way just connect it via USB and update SUS its the only way for u. It wil download 40mb then install the soft it says to connect ur divise and it wil donload 225mb firmware tft after that it wil update ur devise

it will not connect to USB, it's too empty for that... it's either recovery or nothing at all. But USB storage isn't working.

I'm having the problem also
I let the phone run out of battery, and after that the phone only charges for a few minutes with red LED on. Then it boots, says that battery at 0% and then turn off
I have NOVA rom.
Any help?

it seems I fixed it! it took me a damn while, but it seems to be charging now.
what I did:
1: Download Advanced Stock Kernel 17 (fastboot version)
2: wait for it to turn off
3: charge Phone till it boots again
4: hold power + vol up till it vibrates 3 times
5: get the Phone in fastboot mode (plug-in the Phone and hold vol up)
6: fastboot the kernel
7: reboot and hook-up the charger and it should charge again :victory: (without booting)
my battery indicator is now yellow!! and the on-screen battery shows yellow as well.
ps: try using a normal charger and not the sony wall charger... it seems to be working better when the OS is not booted.

Okay I got it solved too!
Mine is as follow:
- Let it charge till the screen boots up.
- Power + volume up for 1 vibration, and then hold volume up for fastboot mode.
- Flash adv kernel 17 and then connect to charger. Let it charge for 30 mins.
- Reflash Nova kernel
Everything works perfectly after that
I think Nova kernel does not support offline charging @[email protected]

Would you mind reporting your steps and kernel problems in the recovery thread in my signature. You could help others who get similar issues.

Even I have the same problem,so you guys just flashed the Advanced kernel without touching the ROM right ??
Because its a ICS kernel and i'm running PA 2.57 which is based on CM10,I'm gonna try this out
EDIT :
This is what i did,my phone wouldn't reset(Soft or Hard reset) but i was able to get into recovery and would get around a minute when the phone powered on showing "Charging 0%"
1. Copied the CWM version of Advanced Kernel 17
2. Booted the phone in TWRP(Nova Kernel has TWRP instead of CWM)
3. Flashed the Advanced Kernel,Rebooted
4. I was now able to charge offline as well as the phone would reset(Hard and Soft both)
5. After 15mins booted in recovery and flashed Nova Kernel back
6. Rebooted into ROM and voila showed 40% charge

You can always flash a kernel, but it will probably reboot right away. TWRP didn't seem to work with windows 8... CWM does work fine, but then again I had TWRP so I wasn't able to copy the file to the Phone and flash it using the recovery. Recovery did work though but it didn't have enough juice to perform a sideload, so fastboot was the only option for me.
But it seems you figured everything out already :good:

Why go all the way round and get back to stock when flashing a different kernel does the trick for you
Tbh,flashing takes lots of time especially when you are hoping around different ROM's i didn't have that kinda patience so went with the shorter way to getting the phone up and running

I had the exact same issue with Nova Kernal.
As I was usng PAC ROM I flashed the FXP kernal that came with PAC ROM and it started charging again.
So I Think the issue is with Nova Kernal..
So basically I have the same issue. The battery of the phone was nearly empty and I decided to recharge it. Unfortunately it didn't charge.
What was the cause: I upgraded to 6.1.a.2.55 stock rom and I wanted to root it. It worked well and I could reinstall all the apps.
The current situation is: The battery is empty now but when I connect it to my computer's USB port it comes up every now and then I can get into the phone, I can access flashboot and also I'm able to get into fastboot. So I tried it with the solution given above but it is not working. I tried to flash the old 6.1.a.2.50 but the flashtool will not install it. Here is the log file:

can u press power+vol up and hold both of em till the phone vibrates three times? if yes.. open flashtool. select flashmode, pick your ftf, and when the flashtool told you to plug the device, plug it while holding volume down.. if it's recognized by the pc, it will show green led, and it will stay green after the flashtool finished flashing. if it's only show green then back to red, u need to install flashmode driver first.
if the phone cant vibrate three times, u need to charging your device first. some say in just couple minutes, some even says a whole day.
hope it'll help.
try to flash the advanced stock kernel (v17) using fastboot. No matter the software on the phone, it should go straight to offline charging.

my xperia play r800i wont boot, it show signs of charging e.g blinking red light, red light, amber light, green light but wont boot, when i remove the battery and re insert it it will vibrate and then nothing, not even the backlight turns on just a black screen, i cannot get it to go into fastboot mode strangely so i am unable to unlock the bootloader and therefore unable to flash it back to stock, if some-one could point me to a video guide on how to get it to go to fastboot mode. with the pc companion tool it first saw it as "null" device but after updating it to latest firmware through it it reconises it as an r800 xperia play yet i am unable to browse files at all on it. i have also re updated it through update service but again nothing. this phone is out of warranty so that isn't an option. if anyone could help it would be awesome.

just to be clear to put it into fast boot mode i have attempeted the following
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, hold search and power simltaniously, nothing
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, press power until vibration while holding search, nothing
remove battery, hold search, reinsert battery still holding search, hold power button while still holding search, nothing
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, hold search, insert usb, begins charging... no blue light
it shows no sign of charging after i "turn it on" the light goes out but i know that the front plate, i.e screen,menu buttons is not completely unresponsive as if i hold the return button when i insert the usb it recognizes it different as i was trying to flash it earlyer and it is required in the updating process, please help
it seems if i leave it plugged in via usb it will randomly disconnect and reconnect from the computer and yes pc companion will say that the device is detected every time. its almost as if it is stuck in an invisible and very fast bootloop as it disconnects and reconnects at about 5 second intervals, this only happens after it has been "turned on"
it also appears that the battery drains very rapidly as after only a few minuets of removing battery holding power ect. it will no longer "turn on" and no light will turn on through a usb socket but when plugged into the wall after a short pause it shows the amber charging light. could this be a battery problem? con the xperia play normally boot off wall power without a battery? if so then it is the devices problem as mine cannot but if it cant normally then maybe its the battery, i have a new one ordered and will arive soon and i will keep you posted.

I've got the exact same issue, but i know how you could get into flashmode or fastboot mode.
Pull the battery out and insert the usb cable (when connected to the Pc of course) and put the usb cable in the phone while holding either back or the search button. Nownit should be in the sepected mode

Does your flashmode stop after a little bit of time? It does on mine, that's really strange

Try to get into fastboot mode with that method i told you above. Then try to unlock your bootloader.
Pull battery out -> insert usb cable first in computer -> connect it to the Play while holding the search button -> put the battery in while still holding the search button -> then you can release the button and you should be in fastboot mode.
That's at least how it worked for me. I then flashed new software. Mine can boot to the kernel where it then shows an image and shuts down. No matter what kernel/rom I am trying.

Can you disassemble the phone? If yes disassemble the phone and remove battery connector and connect it again. As soon as you connect it, enter flash mode and flash stock ftf using flashtool.

Disassemble is the certain solve for this problem. If you watch videos carefully, you wont get problem.
And.. Did you use rubber trick for enter flash mode?

Is my mobile tolally damaged?? And during disassembling..I damaged my case..:crying::crying::crying:
Editnce I entered the flash mode via rubber band trick..but flashing files was initiated but ..there was error ..saying mobile doesnot follow the command or something like that..Wondrin yy my battery doesnot get charged..Is it normal that I am getting bootloop stil after removing the powerchip??

Try this. Remove battery connector while your ready to enter flash mode. Again reconnect battery connector and soon enter flash mode and flash stock ftf.
Or once you are in fastboot mode, flash stock kernel and system separately.
Dont lost you hope,
Try with another usb port with another usb cable.

Flashing a kernel with bootloader locked was a silly thing to do. From what I can see, you are using another devices kernel, or the kernel itself is corrupt. Flashtool couldn't flash the ftf because you were in fastboot, not flashmode (volume button down I think. Flash mode has green led) What I can recommend is that if you're able to enter fastboot mode again, get the stock kernel and flash it. If you can enter flashmode, just flash the whole ftf.

The stock kernel or a derivative of it should be available in the development section. Or try to extract the kernel.elf from the ftf. A tutorial for flashing a kernel is available in the general section I presume.

i got my acro s hard bricked
I used twrp for making a backup for the the stock firmware.
and then i installed the 5.0.1 the lollipop custom firmware
the link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799765
, but it was not rooted but somehow the recovery was working good .. i decided to restore the stock using the backup version which i made in the beginning coz the ROM was sucks. after finishing the loading it asked for restart and after that i got a blank screen and the following
-no response for charging
-no LED lights at all
-non of any combinations working (volume+ and power on , hard reset or volume+up+power on)
-access to fastboot or flashtool is denied
-no power on no vibrations
but after a day of charging an Orange LED appears but i waited for two more days till the LED disappeared
and tried the flashtool but all i got is "device connected but with debugging off"
i think the problem was using recovery with unrooted device but can't find a solution for that
any suggestions ??!!
Notes:
am too calm
am not panic ..
am not in hurry too
and it's not a big deal
i just want the device back in order to get my stuff from it that's why going to Sony service center is not an option coz they format the whole device
Similar here on st26i
On 4.4 Paranoidandroid I've got after a five days of use in one second a lot of force closes. From every app from the system. It was impossible to stop it, or make normal reboot, so I've hold Power + VolUp and waited till three vibrations. Then turn on the phone, normal vibration and SONY logo.
After that black screen. First with some backlight, after minutes phone backlight turn off.
Now:
- No response for Power button
- No response for Power+VolUp combination
- No charging LED
- System find only SEMC Flash Device
- Flashtool says Device Connected with USB Debugging off
- Combination Power+VolUp make connected device to disconnect and connect again as SEMC Flash Device
- Cant acces fastboot, dwonload mode.

Yup.
Is there any windows/linux software for SONY devices like KDZ for LG phones? Which have an emergency flash option and, etc.???
/EDIT
So... I have read a little and I think (wchich I supposed before witout reading) boot is "dead".
I think it will be possibly to flash new boot with s1boot, but. I cannot find service manual for lt26i. Can anyone have it? Or can say where is the Test Point in this device?

Same situation, really need help from someone because its my only android phone right now.
A few weeks ago my xperia play's battery ran out over night. Upon waking up, my phone would not charge or turn on. When i hold the power button ,the LED blinks red for a second or so and then goes away. I tried connecting my phone to the computer and it wouldn't recognize my phone.
I've tried software repair via pc companion but the computer wouldn't detect my phone like i've said. Is my phones lifespan finished? Is my battery dead and/or is there anyway to fix my phone besides buying a new battery and seeing if that works.

It is most likely empty battery (red blinking). But before buying new battery, you can try few things:
-Connect charger and leave it like that for about 5 hours (when battery is depleted phone won't start, just give her time to charge so phone can be turned on)
-Maybe to try with different usb cable/charger (those things can degrade over time)
-Best way to see is battery empty is mesure it with voltmeter (full is 4.2V, 0% is 3.2V. Below 3V battery is maybe permanently damaged)
-You can be "creative" and give battery a little "boost" with short 5V charge directly (easiest way is with unused usb cable: cut it, plug in charger/PC and connect red wire to "+", and black wire to"-" of battery. Hold it for about 30seconds, so it can charge enough to be normally charge when battery is in phone)

Like psxpetey said, as long as you can still get your phone into Flashmode... you should be able to restore it.
If you're trying to use the official Sony Flashtool.... then I believe that you would have better luck with the unofficial Flashtool. You can download it here ( http://www.flashtool.net/index.php ).
Here's a couple of tutorials on how to use the unofficial Flashtool:

There are so many things that could be happening....which makes it really difficult to help you troubleshoot with limited info.
What version of the Xperia Play do you have? (the R800i, R800x, R800a, etc...)?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Can you connect to the PC in fastboot mode and can you still get the phone into Flash mode?
What FTF version are you trying to restore your phone to? (For example... "R800x_FullStocknosimlockta_Verizon.ftf").
Check out post #2 and 3 in this thread for some stock FTF files if needed... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897
(Here's another link with more FTF files - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=3637).
All I know to suggest is that you keep trying and make sure you have followed the correct steps in the Flashtool tutorials. I have personally found it very hard to brick this phone....and believe me, I have done some crazy crap to my Xperia Play when I was learning to root and ROM it. I actually used fastboot to do a full erase and then messed up by not having a recovery to be able to flash a Rom that I wanted to try... but I was still able to get the phone back into Flash mode with no kernel, ROM or recovery installed.... and I used Androxyde's Flashtool to restore my phone.

Reviving an old thread. Now when i try to enter flashmode while attempting to flash a firmware my device isn't recognised by the pc and i am unable to flash the firmware. When i hold the back button nothing happens
Edit: so what i did was take battery out and reinsert it (which allowed flashtool to somehow recognise device and flash a firmware) and i reinstalled the firmware and i turned the device on however it's stuck at the "Sony Ericsson" logo
Double edit: FIXED MY PHONE!!!!
Another edit: I am unable to unlock my bootloader despite my bootloader status claiming it is 'allowed'
Another edit: after installing cwm, i installed a rom however forgot to wipe dalvik cache etc and now im on boot loop. Now i'm back to where i am started. With a phone that doesn't work :/
Another edit: i somehow fixed this by installing a Lupus kernel in which gave me access to cwm again where i reflashed the wrong
Hello Guys
I had Chroma 5.01 installed on my phone since 4 years. I re-partitioned the SDCARD properly and installed Marshmallow from the tutorial at https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-s/s-development/pure-aosp-lollipop-t2940839.
There was no error at any different error than what told on tutorials. Everything went smooth but at the time of first boot up, my phone is struck at AOSP colourful logo of 4 balls animation . I waited for 5-6 hours for setup to finish but no use. During my efforts to restore it, I discovered that root access is not available.
fastboot mode and adb method not working as phone cant be switched off or get into fastboot mode.
Tried flashing Stock rom but still the same.
Is there any way where this problem can be overcome. No hard reset or soft reset method working so far as to my knowledge( If i am not doing anything wrong).
Please help as i love this phone for its dedicated HDMI output feature.

Tried flashing Stock rom but still the same.
Is there any way where this problem can be overcome. No hard reset or soft reset method working so far as to my knowledge( If i am not doing anything wrong).
Please help as i love this phone for its dedicated HDMI output feature.

Don't panic bud..remember one thing fastboot and flashmode will always work at any circumstances. 1st install proper driver.you can find driver on the installations folder after you install flashtool.After installing drivers do the below steps.
Open flashtool
Connect USB cable to phone and PC.
Then press and hold volume down button for fastboot and vol up for flashmode as per your choice.then flash what you want

thanks for the prompt reply however sorry for the delay as i was out of town. The problem with all this is that there is no root access on the phone therefore fastboot and flashmode are not working.

Have you installed the drivers from flashtool folder?Again remember fastboot or flashmode does not need root access ..if your phone is not switched off then keep pressing power+vol up to force shut down the phone and release the power key only to enter the flashmode (do this when connected to PC.).

thanks for the guidance. I could get into recovery by ADB command as follows
ADB reboot recovery
I had done the partition work earlier itself before i was hung upon Android 6.
wiped boot, cache and sdcard couple of times.
converted boot and cache to f2fs also.
However, somehow, i am in a bigger trouble now. My phone was showing 0 mb space for SDCARD due to which neither could I update to TWRp 3.x.x nor flash a new rom 8.1.
Rebooted to recovery couple of times and repeated earlier steps while trying to flash rom also but no use as sdcard space was still 0.
Accidentally, I reboot the phone to system and since then I am knee deep in Garbage.
Now my phone is struck on white SONY logo. I cant shut down the battery untill unless out of battery. As soon as battery is charged, it shows SONY. ADB failed to detect or connect to device.
Flash tool not working as cant get the phone in flash mode. Tried Xperia companion but still the same as cant get into flashmode.
Is there a way now to comeout of all this and fix the phone to its glory.
thanks in advance for looking into my trouble.

Dear my answer is still the same.open flashtool on your computer.force reboot the phone and connect the phone to computer by pressing the vol up button then it will go to flashmode.
Have you installed the drivers.yes or no?
