[Q] Xperia S bricked ? - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

I was installing cyanogen mod 10 via CWM and everything went fine until I rebooted after installing. The phone would not reboot in to android.
The phone is stuck on a black screen with no power light showing - it vibrates if I try a hard reboot but that is the limit of what it's doing. When it was plugged in via USB the computer installed a couple of drivers but that's it as far as any form of life goes.
Does anyone have any ideas ?

Is your bootloader unlocked?
CM10 only works on unlocked bootloader.
If your bootloader is locked, use PCC or Update Service to repair your phone.

Do this -
1. Download stock ics ftf and prepare to flash it using Flashtool by androxyde
2. Press and hold the power and volume up combination until you get 3 vibrations
3. Now holding the volume down key, attach the usb cable and allow the flashing to get completed
4. Turn on your phone normally after the flashing and enjoy

Thanks.
I used the sony update service to get up and running again. As far as I was aware the bootloader was unlocked but presumably it was not which caused the problems ?

It happened because you have not unlocked your boot loader properly.

To turn it off completely, press and hold the volume up + power combination until you get 3 vibrations. At this point, your device will be completely turned off. Now in order to unlock your bootloader, kindly follow this guide - http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Good luck

It sometimes takes longer time to work. Did You get any sort of error on flashtool? Like error while flashing loader.sin? Also, does the phone get warm on the back side?

[HELP] bricked XPERIA S by silly mistake

Hello friends,
I am new (and dumb too) to XDA and all the root and all these things.
I just rooted and unlocked bootloader of my Xperia S.
and flashed the Jelly bean AOSP ROM as in following thread.
[ROM]JB AOSP 4.2.1 alpha 2
I was playing in recovery mode and I don't which option I choose but I think something like "Wipe Partitions" or "Format partitions"
After that I rebooted phone but it just went dead.
I think the battery was low (~15%) when I messed up.
Now it's not responding to anything, no boot, no recovery mode, no fastboot, no flash mode,(vol + or vol - with power) :crying:
Only thing was that I put it on wall charger at 2:00 am (no LED), at morning 10::am RED LED was strong on, but still no fastboot and flash mod e while connecting to pc :crying:
Still I kept on charging whole day ( I saw some threads regarding XPERIA S UNBRICK )
now after ~8hours, connected to pc but still detection.
Also I want to mention that When LED was on while charging and the I connected to pc , IF LED went ON , then phone not detected by computer.
and after sometime the LED went off , then Device says it connected as in screen shot below, but no fastboot or flashmode.
Please help me. Sorry for bad representation.
Hi, the i'm not a phone wizz but it happen't to me a few days ago as well. Tried everything almost bought a new phone because i thought it was bricked....
Now it's alive and kickin'.
For me worked:
Mine randomly started up till the battery was empty, 2-3min and that was enough.
Download the Emma flashtool, it's from Sony itself.
Install the flashtool and start it..let it settle.
With the red light on when it starts try to get it in plug in the usb in the phone (it's already connected in the pc) while holding the volume button down, and when you're lucky the flashtool will recognize the phone and will collect the correct software/ROM/kernel. Just hit the install/repair button and that worked for me, it installed the correct software and it was alive again...
Wish you all the luck.

Thank you for your reply.
I did it but when connected phone with vol - , red LED was strong on , but device didn't detected by OS, nor Emma, nor with flashtool.
but after 1 minute the LED went off and at the same moment device detected in PC OS (as sound of new hardware detected sound of windows heard) and flashtool log was-
09/042/2013 22:42:12 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
09/042/2013 22:42:12 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
no response from Emma. Also no flashboot or fastboot :crying:
Have installed the fastboot drivers for your phone?
If you connect your phone with vol- or vol+ you shouldn't get a red light, it should be blue or green.
Try charge phone for a while then download a jellybean kernel (e.g. *.sin file), then adb push the kernel to the phone. Boot into recovery and refresh rom.
This will require adb and drivers both available in the flashpoint folder.

OK I will try. But the phone RED LED going on as a charging indicator only.
(Generally when phone shuts down at 0% battery and if we boot it up without charging, it turns on and turn off , after i fyou connect the charger, the instance the RED LED goes on but screen remains blank, After sometime the screen shows charging battery )
the same case is happening with me.
Should I remove battery, will it void its warranty?

So u can charge ur phone? It sounds like all u need to do is reinstall a kernel then a rom. No need to remove battery. If you connect urban phone to a usb,when off, and hold a volume key you should not get a red led. You get a red led when u don't have flashmode and/or fastboot.

Have you tried a 'hard' reset of the phone/power.
Phone may be in a loop with power still on or some other state.
Hold the power button -and- volume up button for a good 10 seconds.
You may feel the phone vibrate once then a few seconds later it vibrates three times in rapid succession.
This should indicate the phone is powered down.
If powered down, it may then be able to recharge itself and if you're lucky show a battery charging icon.
When recharged, I'd use SEUS to reload the stock firmware.
Good luck.

Step 1 - Download a kernel.
Download a kernel like nova (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35055975). this will Download a zip file, open the file and extract the file kernel.elf. note nova is a jellybean kernel.
step 2 - Push the kernel file to the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23181182
[Xperia S][INFO][REF] All that u need to know before u begin
Step 3 - boot the phone into recovery and install a Rom zip file then reboot.
Step 4 - hit thanks.
Not sure about removing the battery. I have never need to do it.I guess it would be ok if you don't damage anything or break any security seals. Btw u know when u charge your phone when the battery is below 90% it displays a red light hey.

Make sure your phone is absolutely off
Put it to a cool place like refrigerator for a couple of hours
then flash a kernel so fast by fastboot.exe
If works you can full charge your device and you are lucky.

I've got bootloop while i was updating new rom.

I updated my Xperia Ion last night. Unfortunately, my phone was shut down by itself and then it've got bootloop but it s quite different from general bootloop because, when to Sony logo appear, it takes about 20 second and slowly disappear and reboot again about 6-7 times.
I've tried to carge it and i get the red led. However, it turns on automatically and everthing happen again. So, i tried to hard reset (3 vibrate) and do wall charging but it's still the same. After that, i've tried to use rubber band for flash mode while it was charging in red LED, but my laptop can't access my phone in flash mode and it's turned on by itself again. What should i do? Thank you in advance. :crying:

it should be green led.blue led is fastboot mode i think. you need flashmode
and a little more details. what were you trying to update before your phone got into bootloop?got an unlocked B/L or locked?
One more thing. Go to flashtool folder>driver folder>drivers.exe(or something like that). Install drivers for your device first. then go to the bottom of the list. select flashmode and fastboot drivers and install those as well

[Q] My Xperia S won't start up. (Expected to Have Bricked) Full story inside

Hello everyone. This is my first post here but I have been lingering around XDA particularly in Xperia S android development forum.
Today, I'm having a problem with my XS that it won't start up after i've done a few things related to installing new ROM in it. I'm not sure if it's bricked or anything but here's the full story and please tell me after reading:
My phone is as follows:
Xperia S
Unlocked Bootloader
Rooted
1) I was in my Recovery Mode (not TWRP as I was using a 4.1.2 JB ROM before) with a ROM installed.
2) Wiped Cache
3) Install ROM from SD Card
4) Successfully went through the ROM install wizard and installed it perfectly. I could've just used the ROM as usual but suddenly..
5) Then I went into Settings, I decided to do a Factory Reset (With wiping the internal storage too) <--- I thought doing this would only reset the current recently installed ROM and not wipe the ROM itself)
6) It reboots and bring me to the Recovery Mode page
7) I chose reboot my phone now option
8) It rebooted with the SONY logo on for a while
9) And then the triangle settings logo with a spanner and screwdriver logo show up. The screen stayed for a while like 20 seconds
10) And then it goes black..... and I can't get it start ever again (yet)
I don't know what on earth was I thinking doing a factory reset... that was dumb of me
That's how the story went... what should I do?
I've tried:
Holding the power button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Holding the vol up button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Holding both power+vol up button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Connecting the phone to laptop using USB to see if it is detected by my laptop but no nothing happened though (I did not press any button while connected)
Enter FLASHMODE using the proper way (using flashtool and everything) but fruitless
Charging so that the Red LED comes out when phone runs out battery and resetted. But so far still nothing (6 hours+ charging)
So at this point what has happened to my phone? Is this considered 'bricked'? Is it over for my phone now? Can I do anything to get it back running? Please help.
Thank you so much in advance for reading and helping me out.

chill dude, dont panic, this was happened with me too a month ago, here what i did, i downlaod the .96 ftf file and flashed it in fastboot mode, in my situation, phone was on bootloop and your phone is turnning off so you can get into the fastboot easily,
have u tried sony update service? i broke my hp too... then i realised that i can actually use sony update service and press the volume down button and plug in my hp and update my fw to the original sony fw. hope this method helps for u.
Chill.
Alright dude, so chill. I recommend you to download Sony PC companion software and click on "Repair my device" from there. Then, you just have to follow the instructions and it should work. Tell me if it hasn't, I will help you

[q] phone stuck in sony logo . Need help !!

I have xperia M which i think is bricked now. It gets stuck ay the sony logo and later a black screen appears with a white horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen and restarts all over again. it is rooted but the bootloader is still locked. while connected to pc it shows qhsusb_dload and detects only fastboot mode in flash tool. it still runs the stock jelly bean which i updated using pc companion. Earlier i installed xposed framework and went goofing around in build props, may be thats what caused it. Please someone help me fix this.

Okay I did some research about this "qhsusb_dload", it means Qualcomm High Speed USB Download Mode and it doesn't translate to a good condition at all
It usually happens because your phone's bootloader is corrupted:... meaning hard-bricked..some recover from it by miracles.
From what I've researched, try putting the phone connected to a charger and full charge it, then try attempting to turn it on, keep trying, and also try pressing the power button for 15secs if it still won't boot up properly.
If all fails, then I'm sorry, I can't help you on this.. send it to the service center..
I'm so sorry for your device usually goofing around a compatible xposed with only root won't bring the phone into a total hardbrick....
This happens most commonly, from what I've researched, if you drain your phone completely to 0% and try to boot it up again..

same happens with me but it is still in flashmode and lets me flash stock rom when i bricked it, wouldn't worry about it as long as the led was green it doesn't matter if it goes off after.

How to reboot Xperia S

Hey, i have installed TWRP recovery. It works, i can get to it and make backup etc. But how I can power on my phone? Really, I have no idea. Normally I should just push Power On button, and it will work. Now it doesn't. Phone is restarting all the time to sony logos, then pink led, then blue and power off. Then after few second phone is restarting again and again. How I can just normally power on my phone?

Please tell all the things you did before the problem begins. What have you did last thing to your device? Put your device on charger until your led turns green.Then flash official firmware by flash tool.
Another thing do you able to boot to twrp recovery?
So i have unlocked bootloader (but like 2 months ago) and installed twrp recovery. Actually now, since the battery decharged, because it was restarting all the time, i can do ****. I can't put it on charger, because its restarting after like 5-10 minutes after charging. I can't flash my phone, because its decharged or its stucked on sony logo. I can't use the official repair tool, because its not recognizing my phone. Now I can't even get to the recovery.

ok calm down.Its not a big problem.Just follow these steps.
1. while you see sony logo or when the phone is turning on ( Press and hold VOLUME UP key+POWER key simultaneously).While you feel a short vibrate release the keys. Now put on charger.hope you will not get the automatic turning on problem.
2. Then Download Flashtool software from internet. ( official repair tool will not work coz you have unlocked your boot loader)
3. Download your mobiles official stock firmwire.Then flash it using flash tool.
You can learn about flashing ftf(firmware files) by flashtool from internet.
Best of luck
Ill try to do that 1 step, but I think it wont work. And I have already googled those next steps. Anyway thanks for those steps
Yep, nothing actually works. I get the sony logo, start pressing power button and volume up, then green led is lighting. Its fine for like 5-10 seconds, then its decharged, need to charge for like 20 seconds, and then again sony logos appear. Infinite loop.

The green light means you are on flash mode.the mode is used to flash firmwires.so you need to install flashtool.then install flash mode drivers.then do the steps to flash firmware.
But I can't install anything, since the xperia just restarts after few seconds or just power off, because I can't charge the battery.

You have to install flashtool and drivers on your PC.search on google guide to use flashtool
I have installed drivers and flashtool, but man. You don't understand me. The phone is not charging when im in flash mode. And I can't charge it, because the screen with sony logo can't be powered off. I can only go to flash mode, but in this mode, phone is not being charged. And if I try to flash firmware the phone just run out of battery.

1. R u able to power off your device by volume and power key?
2.OK you can flash stock kernel by fastboot mode.it can be done with a low battery.(may be you have a corrupt kernel)so after flashing kernel you can try to turn off your device by pressing and holding vol up +power key.don't let go any of these two buttons until you get a vibrate.I have never listen or faced this type of issue where we can turn off our device.

You can also try doomlords kernel.it has recovery included.
1. Im not. The only way to power off the phone is just to wait until the phone decharge.
2. How to do this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729280 If i download this Build 17 (Fastboot). Then what? I need to try to get fastboot somehow?

Best way is to go to a mobile shop and ask him to remove the battery by unscrewing. You can try at home to do that if u have tools to unscrew

Do You still have a working recovery? If yes, then You can push a ROM zip to phone via adb while being in TWRP and then flash it. Also, again if You have working TWRP, You can turn off phone via it by going in TWRP>Reboot>Power Off.
You can also turn off Your phone by pressing Power and Volume Up button together. You will first get a single vibration. Keep the combination pressed, then You will get three vibrations. Now Your phone will be turned off fully. This combination will work.
Whenever You connect Your phone to PC/Charger, Your phone will charge, regardless it's in bootloop or not.
But, can you read? I said i cant get to fastboot, cant power off phone, cant acces twrp.

You are asking for help and mirhawk is trying to help you.you should not write him like that.if he didn't read your previous post then you can tell that politely. If you behave like this then no body will help you.XDA teaches us to be friendly with all first.
xDD He should spend 2 min of his life to read the topic instead of writing useless posts. Anyway, phone is dead, there is nothing you can do actually or its not even worth. Close topic.
