Sony Xperia S.
Try to hold both volume up and down and press power button and hold. It should vibrate after some time, release keys, wait couple minutes and try to turn on your device.

If you get green light then your phone probably isn't bricked. Do you have fastboot drivers and flashtool? If not install these. Then connect one end of the USB cable to PC and while plugging in the other to phone holed down vol down( blue led should lit) or vol up (green led)
If you get some of these working then you can fix the phone.

Try connecting to pc without holding buttons, it should connect in flashmode if only green led is turned on when connected to charger. Maybe try again both volume down and up with power button. If no success try leaving it for night on a charger and tommorow try again. As far as there is green led you can recover it.

You need to be in flashmode, holding volume down while connecting usb. Start flashtool, and connect your device and tell me what flashtool says.

Is flashtool said that everything is ok? Or it didn't even start flashing rom. If said that everything is ok, it's possible that your battery is discharged. Someone had a similiar problem as you, but he put his phone on a charger for 20+ hours and phone was recovered.

Glad to hear that, and remember that sony's devices are most difficult to brick.

Grz for getting it to work.
A little search would have helped. There is a sticky'd recovery thread in the general section. Your not the first person to deal with SOFT-BRICK.
Glad you recovered your phone. Next time remember XDA's rule 1.

So earlier today I was using my phone in class when it suddenly shuts off. It shutting off was normal to me so like always, I take the battery out and put it back in. It turns back on gets to one of the loading screens and shuts off. My phone keeps vibrating while it's off so I don't think it could be the battery. Occasionally if I'm lucky, it would fully load to the point where I could use it but then shuts off and the whole process repeats again. I'm using the juggernaut rom if that helps.
Any ideas?
Odin back to stock and root your device and restore to your previous ROM if u have a backup of that ROM on your phone

I didn't have it in in the video and I tried it too, it doesn't do/change anything. I can get into download mode for literally a second and then the same thing just happens, it turns off and the little vibrating continues and remains in that state until I remove the battery and put it back in.

Sounds like it could be a stuck power button...at least as I've read other descriptions of similar symptoms. Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931310

Hi all, i try to install xperia z walkman on my xperia ion but got boot loop and i can't recover from my backup ...
then i try to press power and volume button and hold it now my ion just show red led and backlight on the screen and don't respond to me anymore...
what do i can do is only let battery die right ?
i wonder how long will it take ?
Which Walkman do you install?
First, press power button + vol up until 3 vibration
Then plug your phone to a wall charger for whole night
Then flash stock firmware .ftf via Flashtool

Just got a good condition used Optimus G off ebay. The listing indicated that the phone was fully functional. However, it will not turn on. I've tried charging it but no lights come on. I've tried all combinations of vol +/- and power. Tried a different charger that I know is working...
I can probably get my money back but if its just an easy fix I wouldnt mind keeping the phone. Any ideas?

check if you can boot into download mode.
I think you can fix it if you can get into doenload mode.
fyi, turn off your phone, press both volume buttons and hold, connect to your pc.

I accidentally installed ACER Recovery Installer to my Xperia Acro S to see if the CWM will be installed. After pressing reboot to recovery, my phone did not reboot at all. Power button not responding, no LED light and it was not charging as well. Tried to recover it using Flashtool but my computer doesn't read the phone because the phone do not respond to my PC. My phone already soft brick twice and I made it work using Flashtool, but this time, it failed. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

It will viabrate 1 then 3 times
This may take up to 2 mins max for it to do it
If this doesnt work then you will have to send it for repairs :/

Should it be really volume up + power? I thought the 1 then 3 vibrates works only for volume down + power (hard reset)?
No power - volume down is for stock recovery

Did a rubberband technique, put the rubberband on power and volume + to press/hold them down and leave it that way for 20 minutes. When I touch the phone, it is slightly hot already. I remove the rubberband and charge it on a wall charger for about 4 hours, Now, it has a red LED and I am getting the phone ready for flashtool procedure.
Hope this luck continues (cross-fingers).
Thanks for your help and wish me luck.

Still stuck at Red Led, been working on it since October 1st. No luck of Green Led nor Blue Led for me to be able to use Flashtool. Left it charging for 24 hrs. last Thursday night up to Friday Night. I kept on reading
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170 over and over again. I am already thinking if I will open the back part to unplug the battery. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.
try flashing a ftf first , make sure you hold power +volume up for a bit of time before trying

Hi
Try to to get it into fast boot mode I think it is holding power button and volume down while USB plugged in. Also make sure to have flashtool open as it will confirm if it has booted into fast boot mode it will read in the logs as well as a blue light coming up.
You can then flash a compatible recovery/kernal and boot into the phone through recovery or flash a .ftf from flashtool.

when off, hold volume up then plug in for fastboot

Tried it several times, phone doesn't recognize the command even after plugging the battery out then plugging it in. The pc doesn't recognize the phone either.
