Hey guys, this is gonna be kind of a long story but bear with me please.
I got an Xperia Play for dirt cheap today. The guy said it just vibrates when power button is pressed and doesn't boot but the green/blue led comes on so I guessed it was bricked or somethig. Oh, and it also doesn't have the battery cover.
So i tried flashing R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1253-4437).ftf and Xperia_Play_2.3.3_UK_Generic.ftf via flashtool and "update" via update service but to no avail. Same symptoms.
I thought the screen is totaly dead and inserted a SIM card, pressed power, waited a few minutes then called that sim but the SIM was unavailable so I guess phone really doesn't turn on so a software fault is still an option.
Any ideas guys?
Also I wanted to ask something, what is this little white thing in the picture? Could it have something with the phone not turning on without the battery cover, I know my old HTC Startrek had something like that.

AFAIK that's the lever that disables the SD card while the phone is on so it can be removed without corrupting anything
And i'm pretty sure my PLAY turns on without it's battery cover (i remember doing it some time ago when my SIM card was going PMS)
I just had this problem today as well when I pulled my old PLAY out to use it for an alarm clock.
Download flash tool 0.68, install the drivers, and download the stock 2.3.3 ftf file.
hold the back button and plug the phone into your computer. drop the ftf file from the zip archive into flash tool and follow the onscreen instructions.
when its done, pull the battery put it back in an boot the phone. It will take 5-10 mins for the first boot. Make sure that it is done BEFORE you pull the battery though... pull it before and u really WILL brick the phone.
The problem is that the screen shows no signs of life at all. Was that the case with yours too?

One more thing. I jsut noticed that I don't need to hold back to connect it in flash mode, just plug the usb cable. Could it be that somehow it's stuck in flash mode?
Maybe "back" button is stucked. Try to open it and clean it

Whenever I try to boot up my Desire Z, it would show me the HTC logo, but shut off promptly. I'd be able to enter the bootloader, but whenever I try entering recovery, I get this:

Is my phone bricked?
I'm not sure what was done previously, as I bought this phone second hand, so I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to rectify the problem.
Sounds like a soft brick, at the worst. You can fix it. Look up loading a rom from bootloader dezire z. Maybe you can put the new update on the sd card. You will lose root though, which you probably have if the got you stuck on that screen.

Try looking up about the triangle, also. There might be some buttons you can press etc.

At the triangle screen you show, hold down volume for a second or 2 then press and hold power. See if that doesn't take you to the text-based recovery screen (stock is blue text?).
PS - sounds like no rom and/or radio is flashed, that or someone tried to reroot and stockify it but bricked it as you describe. I'm inclined to believe it's been wiped clean. What's the bootloader show for your hboot, radio versions etc?
Ah, I was able to get it into the 3e recovery with the blue text, but unfortunately I can't do anything there.
I think I have another problem now, though. The battery won't charge. If I plug it in, it'll flash an orange and green LED, and from what I've been able to gather online, that means there's something wrong with the battery connection or overheating? It's not the latter, so I'm going to assume there's something wrong with the pins. The warranty sticker has been broken as well, so I think I think I'm SOL.
Thanks for the help anyway, guys!

have you tried remove battery and put it back ?
mine have same problem this moring, hope it'll help :fingers-crossed:
I came here to post about the exact same issue. Went to bed last night, phone was working fine. Woke up and the phone was dead. At first I thought it was kind of odd because it had over 50% charge when I went to sleep but I just assumed that the battery died. Plugged it in but still nothing, changed to the spare battery and plugged it in and let it charge for 4 hours but still wont turn on.
The phone has spent it's whole life in an otterbox defender and is in otherwise mint condition, running the latest stock rom/firmware. What would cause a phone to just up and die?
Update:
Took the battery out of the phone and left it out for about a minute, put back in and the phone powered up. Strange.

Hi guys, I've been scouring Google for 3 days now and can't come up with an answer, everything says use Odin for this and use Odin for that... well I can't.
A few days ago I downloaded an app from the Google store Linuxonandriod or something like that, it's pretty much an installer to place Ubuntu on your phone side by side with Android, the instructions began with rooting the phone, I began that process and believe I accidently loaded the incorrect pda to the phone (I have so many files now on my comp, I have no clue which one I selected). Odin rebooted the phone and that's that.
If I try to turn on the phone it goes to the first screen that just says SAMSUNG then turns off, never getting to the Samsung Galaxy III screen. The USB on the phone seems to have been botched, none of my computers will recognize it (Windows or Linux), the phone will not even charge. I can however get into both recovery and download modes without problem.
Naturally, download mode does no good because the USB is useless and I do not have clockwork mod installed on the phone to bypass the verification error.
I tried to simply install clockwork via recovery in hopes that would do something, but I get a verification error with that.
Is there anyway around this using the SD card or am I holding a $300 paperweight?
Thanks

Thanks, for the link. I did check it out, but couldn't figure out what the poster was talking about with drive letters and such. That dmesg | tail told me nothing about my sd. I unzipped everything to the card by a different method but my the computer still wouldn't recognize the phone, so booting back into windows did nothing.
Sorry for the delay in response, I've been extremely busy with work.
I'm still at a total loss on this.
Hi, I have a massive problem with my unit. I tried to install a newer room on my KYD with 1024 * 600 RK 3066, but it didn´t work. I think it didn't even flash or anything, but now the radio wont start. The screen of the radio stays black and all the Button lights are on. The button lights stay on even if I take my car keys out and wont even turn off after some hours. I tried all known ways to enter recovery but there was no sound or screen shown and also i unplugged the radio but didn´t work. Is there a possibility to safe this unit?
Please help me & thank you
EDIT: My unit came with the cable attached. Could there be a possibilty to use it for ADB?

Anyone? Same thing happen to me too. I downloaded a update that wasn't meant for my device to extract and look inside for fun. I have 2 SD card and I accidentally flash the wrong one with that in it instead of Malaysk newest rom. My device is acting the same way as original poster. Any help, regarding how to get recovery back or even how to get into bootloader so I can flash recovery.img back into it.
I have the Joying Joying JY-UQ124, which is the RK3188 1024x600.
You guys cannot even get into recovery? If you can just wipe then install the correct FW over the one you installed. Did you modify MCU?

For me, nope. It'll turn on but black screen only. The element key lit up light blue and won't turn off even if car is turn off for hours. Tried to mimic the recovery after trying to put it into recovery. The screen is just black and stay there forever until you hold power and shut it off.

Hello,
Yesterday my half year Nexus 5x has started to do strange things. It froze when testing WiFi speed and then started to hang when trying to boot. When I powered it off, it started behave like it would be bricked. Connecting to PC did nothing. After 5 minutes of pressing POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN it shown bootloader so I could reset it to stock and check if it works.
Sadly stock can't even boot because phone freezes and stops to respond to anything or reboots and freezes on Google logo.
When powered off it still generates a lot of heat. After leaving it for night with full battery, battery was fully depleted at morning.
About month ago it very overheated and sim reader stopped working for about hour.
Currently it's booted to bootloader and connected to charger. I'm not going to power off it, because booting to bootloader starts to be very hard.
Any ideas what is wrong with it? Is motherboard fried?
I'm going to relock bootloader and RMA it.
Exact same behaviour : http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/nexus-5x-dead-help-wont-boot-t3427169/

I got a replacement via warranty.. and now struggling to recover my data. .. replacement having problems with fingerprint scanner.

I checked it now. I have almost the same issue but mine 5x was showing normally boot screen but it freezes after getting some temperature. I used fan to cool it down and I could boot it normally but after selecting language it froze and restarted. It also powercycles in bootloader, so it was really hard (almost impossible) to restore stock.
