(First of all, forgive me for my bad english) I bought mine on March 3, and checked the chip. It was sane (0xf7). It also had android 4.1.2.
For 2 days, I used the device for installing some apps (no root, no installing ROMs, etc.) I went shopping on 3rd day to get a cover for it. I asked the first shop and he took my device and wrapped it in cover. However, I didn't like the cover and told him to remove it. When the cover was removed, my phone had this error (weird): Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.
I took it to a repairer and he did everything he could, but it wasn't fixed. I learned from him that the device didn't go to recovery mode (only download mode) and it didn't charge its battery. At last, he said maybe it had hardware issues.
Any ideas? What happend to my device? :crying:

Are you sure it will fix my problem? The repair guy flashed a Rom on it, but why did it remain on the error screen?
I don't have my phone now. I'm supposed to take it today from the guy. Could you please write down the step-by-step guide, so I can do it when I take my device?
We could give a try but when I had a problem I was able to fix it so twll me if it loaded to the download screen

I went to get my device, but the repairer told me because of its faulty motherboard, it couldn't accept any flashed Rom, etc. He'll replace its motherboard in the next few days. Anyway, thank you so much for your help.

out of curiosity is the battery actually holding a charge or try another battery and what happens when u put the phone on charge
I have the same problem with my screen i didnt care for a couple of weeks but now it can be like 10 minutes locking and unlocking until i finally get the screen to turn on ( the touch works since it vibrates when i touch the screen.) i send it to SE but they refused it since it had traces of water i went back to 2.3.3 but still nothing. for last resort i opened my play and reconnect everything but the problem persists. I do not now what else to do...

Flashing a kernel,Running on custom Rom or unlocking your bootloader does cause this problem.Just unlocked my bootloader and flashed a rom.Yeah it went all blank,the screen,so I decided to relock it and repair the firmware using SEMC.From then on it functioned normally.

Have you tried repairing the firmware using SEMC yet?It should reinstall the firmware since the firmware's the one usually causing these problems.It would be best if you backup your apps first.

I had the same problem on my milestone about an year ago and it was because of humidity, at least thats what the guys at a local repair shop told me. They said it's not software related. Anyways the phone was ruined.

Sorry it was actually Sony Ericsson "Pc" Companion,which you have to use your pc to reinstall the firmware again if it helps.Make sure this SE Pc Companion is installed on your computer.Here's the link to download it. http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/mobilephones/downloads/subject/pccompanion/xperia-play?cc=ca&lc=en
If your bootloader's still locked you may want to go ahead and first,press start under support zone,then click start under phone software update(Don't connect your phone yet).It will come up with the "Could not find phone" prompt so go ahead and press repair phone which is underlined blue under the prompt.After that just do what it says on your Xperia Play.
If your hardware's the problem then I can't help you much.
didnt work, maybe its hardware problem, i think that bringing my phone on repair shop is the best solution
Well I recently bought a S2 with t-mobile, and just recently it received a OTA upgrade in December. I didn't install it until January, and it looked like everything went fine.
Until it rebooted at stayed on the white screen stating software update
installing and it never moved... Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Re-install Packages
Haven't seen the stock bootloader in a while but there should be an option to re-install packages. Do this.... If it doesnt work then we need to get you into download mode and have you try to use odin.
1. Turn off the device. Pull the Battery. Reinstall Battery.
2. Press and hold both Volume Up and Volume Down keys at the same time.
3. Press the Power key only until the phone vibrates once, then release only the Power key.
4. Continue to hold the Volume up and Volume Down keys until the Android System Recovery screen appears.
5. Press the Volume Down key to highlight Re-install packages(if it is there)
6. Press the Home key to select.
7. Press the Volume Down key to highlight Yes
If there is not a re-install packages try a data/factory reset and see what that does. If nothing, you are trying odin
don't worry, it isn't a brick, follow the instructions above. I think i fixed my friend's phone by simply flashing cwm, I was going to flash a rom... but that did the trick.. but each phone is different.

If you meant only download mode, then you should be able to flash stock with Odin.
If you meant or download mode, then you're probably bricked.
Was it a kernel for t989? Shouldn't be bricked if it was. If it was accidentally another phones kernel...then you're in trouble.

I flashed the wrong rom on my sgh-t989 and bricked it . I found Mobiletechvideos JTagging service, took the chance and sent my phone and 50 dollars , had it back in just about a week working like new . Very nice people and did exactly what they offered.
When I hard bricked my SGSII last month, I too went the MobileTechVideos route. Folks on the forum highly recommended their services, so I purchased their JTAG service and sent them my phone. I was not impressed. They had it for a week (which I'd expected), shipped it back to me uninsured in a padded envelope, and didn't tell me why my phone hadn't been fixed until after I'd received it--and only then because I asked why it wasn't fixed.
At least I received a refund.
help.i flashed a galaxy s 2 skyrocket rom by mistake.after the flash i reboot system now from recovery and my phone just died.will not boot not even a battery symbol while charging.also laptop will not recognise and no download mode. is this a hard brick?only 3 weeks old can someone help me please.sorry my phone is the canadian koodo version believe its i989d
I had almost the same exact problem, except mine was from trying to flash a zImage that I built. My symptoms were exactly like yours. The phone is hard bricked and can only be revived through jtag. Also a usb jig had no effect on my bricked phone.

2 options.. mobiletechvideos.com or warranty exchange... or last resort you can try and jig it yourself...
On the other hand is there anyway to test the battery? Could be a dead cell and that could cause you not to be able to turn on. ... try this, go into your nearest tmo store and see if you can test with one of their batteries. They should do that without any charge.

This is what i did for my device :::
because of over anxiety I killed my device.........
it was stuck at boot screen, not able to switch it off.... tried all possibilities...
option 1
I have to wait till the battery gets drained, i dint have the patience to do this... ( since battery is 100% full )
option 2
I carefully opened the back panel of my device ( only the portion from camera till the middle segment )
down the middle of the pannel is pasted tight to battery,
Saw the battery cable attached to the M.board, with a help of a needle, i removed the attachment and powered down the device...
once again with the help of needle reattached the cable and closed the back pannel safely.....
rebooted the device to cwm recovery.......
Installed the cwm image from this temporarily " http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2780507 "
this helped me to regain the device, and was able to use it good... it has all the apps in it.........
it is English..... ( but originally developed from open source chinese variant.... )
I am waiting for the Stock Rom release................ and after that I will reflash my device.........
step 2 ::::::
I found out a friend from this forum jithu, who has the same model, version and regional device and asked him to give device cwm or twarp backup.....
so i can clone my device from a same regional device backup.... after restore.... i will do a factory reset....
so my mobile will be all new.....................

Do a full factory reset in your custom recovery or in advanced wipe options wipe your system, data, dalvik and cache then rerun your stock nandroid backup and it should restore. When your coming from a custom rom back to a stock rom your want to have as much of your phone wiped and repartitioned as possible. Don't wipe your internal storage though unless you just want to.
Oops didn't catch the "accidentally" part but the advice stays the same. Are you trying to get back to stock or are you trying to get back to custom rom?
me too

put it in download mode and flash the stock rom from sammobile with odin.
you can do 2 things
1. factory reset by turning off your phone and holding home button and lock button and volume up and release the lock button when it shows note 3 neo and keep pressing the other 2 keys It Will bring you to stock recovery navigate by volume up down and lock to confirm go to factory reset and press yes if it doesn't boot up then
2. put in downlaod mod turn off your phone and press home lock volume down and then confirm press volume up
download the official firmware from sammobile and download Odin run as administrator and press pda and navigate to the firmware you downloaded and connect your phone to your pc via USB and press start
