So I was trying to sort out my bad ICS flash as I went from ATT to ICS insted of doing as I was told to. So went to try and flash back to .111 but think that was a bad idea. Had a fatal error in Flashtool that gave me a boot loop to nothing works. What do I do now??? Thought about exchange seeing as I only had it a few days but not sure how that would go with it being flashed. I feel dumb now lol

Use PC companion to repair or try flashing again. What do you mean nothing works? What was the fatal error?
It was a TA fatal error. As for nothing working it will not do anything. No lights, no flash mode, no hard reset or force shutdown response. Found another thread and trying some things talked about in there. Will also try PC Companion and see if I can get back going again.
So nothing happens when you hold the power and volume up for 15-20 seconds?
Correct. It does not respond at all.
Edit: Does not respond to usb either.
Dont panic first,
I had the similar experience before, after flashing, the phone entered boot loop. I hard reset it and the phone never booted. No light when either charger or usb was plugged in.
The solution, charge your phone for a whole day (more than 10 hours I would say). Apparently, flashing roms consumes a lot power and it took my phone 4 hours to just get the led light back on and another 2 hours to make the phone able to boot into charging screen.
Try charge it for a really long time and see if led light can lit again.
good luck!
Thats what I am in the process of now. Crossing my fingers and hoping it works. Just to make sure I am correct I need to flash the .111 rom with a wipe or no wipe or just the baseband?? The way I read it is you need to flash from ATT to the International firmware. I tried to flash back from ics to the international firmware with wipe. I orginally went from stock att to ics.

The easiest way flash international firmware (exclude basedband ) over gb with no wipes. and then, flash .111 firmware with only baseband selected and no wipes
You probably want to flash at&t stock firmware with wipes to your phone first before doing that.

.111(gb) is international firmware. If you want to make sure you get tethering back, I would wipe everything when flashing to .111. Then flash. 233(ics) excluding only baseband and do not wipe. If you skip the wipe in .111 it's likely you'll back here saying it didn't work.

Ok so I got the red light. Have tried to get into flash mode but no luck yet and I now have a red light that will come on and then go off then back to on. Guess I need to wait a bit longer.
Edit: Just to clarify I got here by flashing LT28I with wipe from ICS. Not sure what went wrong and really wish I had saved the log from it.

Ok I have a solid red led now with it plugged in but still cant get it to do a darn thing. This sucks and makes me quite worried. I'm still holding on to hope but man this sucks.
Screen came on was in boot loop on Sony flash. Got it to reset 1 buzz and shut off 3 buzz and now back to zero response and no led.

Just let it sit till the light turns green. I believe the recommendation is not to flash with less than 80% battery anyway.

Will it give me a green light while boot looping?? It came on with out me touching it and kept looping the Sony splash and was not sure it would continue to charge like that.

JUST let it charge - flashing sucks up alot of battery, also bootloop kills your battery too. After it full (greenled), you can put the phone in flashmode - read the 'solved' thread in Q&A section. I would suggest you start with. 111 firmware (all wipes), then .233 (no wipes - exclude baseband).
Sent from my Sony Xperia™ Ion - ICS & Rooted
I have read that thread and its what I have been going off of. I had the device come on to the loop of the Sony splash screen but was not sure it would keep charging while doing that. Did a force shutdown only to start all over again. I now have a solid red led again and I am just letting it charge to see if I get green again. One thing that did occur to me was I also had a system R/W error when I went to do this at first. I should have never went forward from there.
Edit: Still looking at a red led. Really hope it turns green at some point tonight. Kinda hard to just sit here and wait lol. Over four years of doing this kind of stuff and this is the first time anything like this has happened to me.
What you can do is. get the Flashtool setup to flash, and while your phone is in mid loop, (when the screen is blank) plug in your phone in flash mode. I got stuck in a boot loop on my first flash attempt too, and thats how I got out.
If you don't want to root your phone, flashing is a lot simpler than it reads out to be.
the main thing is to make sure your PC has all the drivers installed.
What I did was
Flashed the.111 firmware wipe everything, nothing excluded. restarted the phone, I didn't bother setting anything up. shut the phone down, flashed ICS, with exclude baseband checked, then I was good to go. I did have to manually set up my APN, and some others had their phone automaticly do it. not sure why that is.... Hope it works out for ya!
So the light went out. Still no response so unplug and plug back in and red light comes on. Has been on the charger for about ten hours now.
Edit: Ok so screen came on again on its own and was looping. I tried to get it to connect in flash mode but no luck. I now have a different situation where the screen is dimly lit and nothing showing but black. It will not do anything again and I am starting to lose my marbles over this. About to just take it back and get a new one.
I had the correct drivers or I would not had been able to get ICS with root in the first place. Is it possible I had not loaded the flash driver for the ics firmware?? I am just thinking out loud at this point. I have a blinking red led again but not sure I will get much farther. With it coming on in a loop on its own I dont think it will keep charging like that and at this point think I may just be caught in a constant loop.
I have the same problem when i downgrade firmware from Ics to GB. Now I turn off Ion already. But I can't turn on, I try to charge but it doesn't have the red light or green light I still charge the phone..................

So I flashed a JB backup and then the kernel with fastboot, and the screen would shake from side to side nonstop whenever I wasn't touching it. So I pick up my laptop to flash a new kernel (old one must of been corrupted, I assumed) and I drop the damn thing when it's turned on. I'm pretty sure that it messed up the HD files to where fastboot was messed up (it would force close when I tried a command) So I found another application to flash a kernel, but it said I wasn't rooted. So I, desperate, hit the delete kernel button. When I tried booting, sometimes the red light would flash three times,other times nothing.
I have since gotten a new phone (was already due for an upgrade) but as a hobbyist, I'd like to try to fix my old phone to maybe give it to someone else.
EDIT: Whoops, wrong thread. I'll keep it in here just in case I get a reply here and not in the Q/A

Flashtool can usually fix something like this.
Get yourself a stock FTF and flash it to your device using flashtool. It should bring it back to life again.

Fastboot nor flash mode are working, but I'll try it. Upon digging my play out, Whenever I plug it in to my computer, it says USB device not recognized, and it continously flashed red on the power indicator. Just thought that was worth noting.

So I downloaded flashtool, and I saw that it came with fastboot. I don't know how, but I managed to get it into fastoot mode and it recognized it. But now I figured out how to fix it, I can't get it into fastboot mode. Whenever I connect it it flashes red and it doesn't go to fastboot mode. Do you have any idea how to get it into fastboot mode so I can flash a kernel?
Help! I think My Xperia Play died on me! Here's what happened. It may be a long post but PLEASE bear with me. I really need your help guys! My phone was just lying around on my desk and I decided to use it and was surprised because it won't unlock. So i thought that my home button was just malfunctioning and tried to slide it's game pad as it unlocks the phone by itself but still no respond. So I thought it turned off by itself and when I tried to turn it on, it won't turn on at all because there's no short vibration. Usually when we turn on our device, there's a short vibration right? So I removed the battery, placed it back again and turned on my phone and at last there's the short vibration. But after a while I noticed that the boot splash hadn't appeared yet. I waited for a couple of minutes but still nothing happens. When I turned it on again there's the short vibration and that's it. So I searched for solutions here on XDA and on the web and I tried almost all of it. I flashed it back to it's stock firmware using Flashtool and still the same. I tried using PC Companion and Sony Ericsson Update Service but still to no avail. I also relocked it's bootloader and reflashed everything again but nothing works. So I gave up because I thought it might be a hardware issue but I didn't drop my phone or anything so i don't know what went wrong.
Then the following day I decided to check on my phone again and to my surprise it's back to normal and I was really glad about it. So I didn't flash any custom ROM and Kernels because I'm afraid that it might screw everything again. I just rooted it and completely debloated it and installed init.d support for stock kernel. I flashed CrossBreeder and RTMixManager and modified it's systemui for quick panel and battery % mod. I also flashed custom boot animation and that's it. I was happy about my phone because it seems all is well.
But yesterday when I was about to use my phone, the same thing happened again! I tried to redo everything I did all over again but still nothing! I can still use it in flashmode and fastboot though. I also tried entering CWM Recovery. After I turned on my phone I spam pressed volume down and blue LED showed up with the vibration if you enter recovery mode but there's no display. Can anyone tell me what's the problem? It might be the flex cable or the digitizer but I don't know. Has anyone encountered the same situation as mine? Please help me! I don't know what's wrong with my phone!
P.S. I can't send it to Sony Centre as my warranty is already expired. My only option is buying a new Xperia Play. Because I browsed for replacement parts on the web and they don't ship it directly to my country and it costs too much if I have it ship to me indirectly.
You have a hardware failure, I see that right now is very common, you will need to replace the automatic light sensor, to get it working, or if you don't want replace it, you will have to switch onto JB, because it has ALS disabled by default.

Did you find any solution or are blocked in recovery or flash mode?
So.. my xperia ion kept said there was new system update. Which was 6.2.b..221 i think. But i unlocked the bootloader so i had to flash firmware on computer. So i downloaded on website where it said lt28h/lt28i latest firmware. I flashed it and my phone went reboot loop. It turns on, show sony logo, went blackscreen, reboots and repeat. So i did hard reset which made situation worse. I let it drain for 3 hour and charged it for 5 hlur.(red led showd right when i put charger.) It got on charge screen but i was stupid, hoping it to turn on normally and be my friend forever as it used to. But got on reboot loop again so i did soft reset because i didnt want let the battery drain for long time and charge it again. But it stuck at blink screen. Or black screen. You know how does this screen look like? It's not real black but the screen has little bit of light. So i could even use it as mirror.
I drained it overnight and now im charging it again(red led shows right when i put charger)
Anyone please help?

Yes, You have to connect immediately to pc. Don't let it be in continuous bootloop, it will drain out the battery. Did You try downloading a different ftf and flashing?

I don't know much about carrier firmwares, I would recommend waiting for someone who knows to reply. But I don't think flashing a world generic firmware would do any harm, still wait form someone to reply!

my friend came back alive! thank you!
for those who got same problem like me
[IMPORTANT]
(make sure you get battery with thunder icon on the screen when you charge your ion after it died.(it will appear after battery got charged enough. it took me about 1hour i think.
make sure the screen goes off when unplgued from charger.
DO NOT touch anything before you boot into flashmode or fastbootmode otherwise you gotta drain the battery and charge it again!
1.download your device's firmware and put it into flashtool/firmware. in my case,(lt28i) i downloaded 6.1.E.3.7 stock frimware on xperia ion development section.
2.run flashtool,click thunder icon,click okay,select firmware that you downloaded and click flash. it will say it's preparing for flashing and say boot your device into flashmode.
3.NOW. Carefully. really Carefully press only volume down button and keep press it until you connect your device to computer. this is where i messd up and startes over.
4.there will be green LED if you got into flashmode. than the onlything you have to do is wait for the flashtool to finish flashing.
5.when it's done, take a deeeeep breath, disconnect, and press power button till you feel one single vibrate.your device will reboot and work as it used to!
i didnt lose any data(in every storage like built-in storage(?) or sdcard? and ext sdcard.) except that the apps that i installed was missing.

Glad I could help. Only Your "system" and "data" partition would be formatted, not the internal(sdcard) and external(extsdcard) memory.
And "data" is where Your apps are installed, so those will go too.
Hi Guys.
I replaced a screen of a D5503. Knew the pattern to unlock the phone (friends) but messed up and thought it does not matter if it resets to factory settings after 7 attempts.. But Bootloop. Country choice appears shortly and screen goes to grey. Repair with companion gives no change. Sometimes it is possible to select country and go one screen further and then it goes grey again. Is this bootloop ?
searched web and forum for similar problems and decided finally it must be bootloop?
Of course i did not make a back up.. phone is coupled to google account of friend , so if I can get the screen to normalize and not disappear that would also be an option.
i downloaded Flashtool Emma. Most links are dead. For neccesary files, unlocking etc.
I have a sony unlock code.
(locked bootloader)
The firmware is (1279-1792) 14.6A.1.236-R2D
Can anybody direct me to the right link to follow ?
Or commands are not downloadable anymore, or I don't know what tft file to use etc.
Can anybody direct me in the right direction ? Please?
Help is appreciated. I flashed and rooted a Z1 mini once before. years back.
If you can flash stock firmware with sony compagnon with sucess 100%, it means that it's not a firmware problem.
Are you sure new screen is good? Did you replace touchscreen and LCD or only one of them?
did you test with old screen to check if system boot is ok?
I replaced both in one. Screen with digitizer asssembly. And initially the phone booted fine to lockscreen with pattern. So screen is working fine.
I messed up trying 7 times the pattern upon which the phone by itsself booted to factory settings. Since then the phone is stuck. I tried repair with companion but that made no difference.
But the adb commands to unlock bootloader don't seem to be downloadable anymore. Not even from the link provided from the sony site. from which I optained the unlock key.

well, it should be volume up and power button. But that only gets me to fastboot. No lights blincking at the supposed ledlight at all.
So the screen freezes at language choice page. that only appears shortly. sometimes just long enough to make a choice and then the screen goes grey. The only option to communicate seems to be fastboot. Since the pc recognices the phone as being in fastboot.
So how to proceed ?

Tnx. back when this was still somewhat a current model I knew what version it contained and with patience I rooted and flashed a X1c. Got a Flashtool download now branded Emma. . Looks weird in my eyes. But the .net page gives a virus error in the torrentfiles still being used in those days. Hence my loss. ? Emma version did give detailed info about the phone and the firmware and that bootloader is locked. Then can get unlock key from sony site, but adb files I can't get. And when I finallly can get them I am asked for admistrator password,. My stupid attempt to make an offline non google account pc, the other way around. And while only a few days ago I forgot that password hahaha. Dont't ask. strangers in tha house Gonna see if I have the old files still on the old brick (pc) and see if I can manage from there. -) tnx for answering and patience. I have a few bricks. maybe first create a dualboot. and be sure.
I'll report back if I get that old fart to life again thanks to your input.
Thanks again and enjoy and have fun
