Hello guys, need your help.
My wife was updating her LT281t to LT28at_6.1.C.1.111 via Sony Companion, when she came to the 5th step, "Press and hold volume down while connecting USB cable" she did but couldn't get into flashmode, unplugged the cable to try again and nothing happened. Now the phone wont bootup, she is crying cause of her phone.
Is there a way to make it boot up???
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to continue the install from sony companion by following the step. i had to unplug mine twice before i could get it to work. that also assumes the device isnt bricked by this issue. and if it is im not sure how to fix this issue might i suggest looking here:

Yea read that thread linked and you should be able to get it going again. The key is patience though. If you rush the steps you will start all over again. I had to charge mine for almost 36 hours before I got it back running again.
Thanks all
Thank you all for your comments. I had read the thread linked. At the end I could recover the phone. Had to let it charge for about 4 or 5 hours, then I could do a soft reboot and it did boot againg.
For now my wife is quite happy and forgot about upgrading at least till JB comes out.
Again. Thanks for your support.

Good luck,
i thank you for the swift response,but im sorry to say that those two posts dont help me in the least bit...i fully understand the upgrade process, im just having some technical difficulties that i cant figure out, but please if there is anymore information that i can offer,feel free to ask... im kinda phone-less until i can solve this problem
how about these essages
you tried plugging it into the computer while holding the camera key? also how about the normal press two home keys and cycle the power button? If these dont work PM me and I will help you out. When you use the bootloader make sure that you are flashing back to a tmboile rom
Hey all,
This is my official "first" post. I rooted the A100 while it was on Honeycomb. Everything was fine. I got an ota update and updated to 3.2.1. Rooted it again and everything SEEMED fine. I got the ota ICS update and the tab would hang at the green android and give me a "!" after about 5 seconds. I fiddled with the update for a while and took it to a friend that knows more about this than I. He proceded to try and unlock the bootloader with the ICS unlock, while it was on Honeycomb. Now my tab is bricked with the green Acer logo, it will not boot. I have no access to recovery, fastboot, adb, bootloader. I can get it to APX mode. I tried to NVflash it, but when I use any NVflash commands, device manager just kicks my device off and the command doesnt execute. I cant use the EUU, because it keeps telling me my CPU ID is wrong, even though I KNOW its correct. I have searched the forums and sent PM's to everyone that has experienced this and fixed it, but no one has answered. Could SOMEONE, ANYONE, PLEASE help!!!!!!
Thank you in advance!!!!!

Really
No one out there has any insight into this? Ive seen that there are a couple people in the forums that have fixed this issue, but in their posts it doesn't really describe how because they were being PM'd. PLEASE, any info would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Try using the search on the forums, it's been discussed several times and the only way to fix it currently is to send it in to acer for repair and hope they replace it with a different board that the euu works with. Please stop posting this same question when its been asked repediatly already there are 4 separate posts with this same question being asked by 3 different people

OK
I have searched the forums for the past I cant tell you, how many hours. I have looked and looked and in one forum, it looks as though someone fixed this issue because they were able to somehow get to fastboot. I would not just post this on here without my resources having been exhausted. The problem is, in EVERY FORUM I CHECK, the answers and such are PM'd to each other! I have even PM'd the people that seemed to get something working.......to which I have received no reply. Ive seen the posts on this, Ive tried NVflash, I tried to boot holding EVERY combination of buttons, EUU doesnt work, because of the CPUID being "wrong". I have done my research, sir. Please PM me if you think I have wronged you in some way by posting something in a forum meant for helping others, instead of putting me on blast because you think Ive been lazy and not searched the forums.

can you boot into fastboot mode?
dunno
Im not sure if I can get to fastboot. There are a couple of people that, it seems, could get to fastboot and APX. Could you direct me on the ways of getting to fastboot? Adb doesn't work for me. Only APX mode. It boots to the green Acer logo. When I try to get to recovery (VOL+PWR), it hangs and will not go to recovery.
Sorry for being short earlier, Im just so frustrated with this. Ive been researching this issue for DAYS. (NVflash, APX, bootloaders, adb, etc....) No progress on it. I even have a DEV friend who may try to decompile the EUU and see if he can force push it to the tab....he just has to find the time. lol
done
At this point Im willing to use the tablet for target practice. If anyone wants it, to mess around with or whatever, you can pay for shipping and keep it.

If you and orient fastboot and has the bootloader on the A200 prepare to unlock and install cwm recovery and is saved
hard-resset first try with the buttons
1 tablet off completely its
2 lock button on the screen is right
3 hold down power and volume - that is left
4 when the tablet vibrate release the power button and quickly move the screen lock button to the right and left without releasing the volume -
5 your tablet should start
but it works I say and try fastboot
I dont know if the boot loader is locked or not. I cant flash cwm because I cant get to recovery/adb/fastboot/etc. I tried the hard reset and the tablet hangs on the green Acer screen after reboot. NVflash doesnt work because ???, device manager just drops it when I try to send commands and nvflash says something about not being able to write to usb. And yes, I have the Nvidia apx drivers installed.

if so try to flashing a custom recovery from thor 17 ( google it)
i had a problem like this and was able to fix it by flashing the leak isc rom through this recovery. it might be worth a try.

I recently picked up the Z1 Compact, and since it was pretty easy to root and customize I dived into those sorts of things for the first time. For a while I had Cyanogenmod and made a back up and left it on my SD card. Later when the easy root method came out I switched back to stock. I installed dual recovery and made a back up. Some time later ,using my ever so careful brain, I tried to flash my Cyanogenmod back up instead of the stock back up. This leads me to where I am now. Can't get my phone into flash mode. When I hold down the power button it vibrates but nothing else. When I plug the phone into a power source it just keeps flashing a red notification light. I would really appreciate some help in fixing my phone, thank you.

If you bricked it the same way I did as described above, just try to enter flashmode and flash a stock ftf using Flashtool , the page linked shows you how.

Flasmode doesn't work.
My Galaxy Note 2 unable to start. It's completely blackscreen (not out of battery). No matter i press power nothing appear not even a small light.
Before this happy I phone got upgrade issue. After fixed, I tried to flash kernel "philz_touch_6.07.9-n7000.tar.md5" through Odin but stuck at "NAND writing start". I waited almost a hour nothing happen so I take of the cable (repeatedly did that many time) then it become like that.
I hope it can be fix.
I am seriously scared ****less right now.
*Phone is now blackscreen just like dead battery phone. Nothing happen when I press POWER BUTTON. However, I connect to PC sometime i appear "Window not recognize USB connection". *
Pls someone help me
*I posted for help at XDA assist and someone asked to posted in Link help thread so I hope now I post at the right place. If still not pls give me a link to that thread because I still new here.*
[sorry for make mistake without realize it]
So, I had my full cautious guts. I backed up everything needed and so. I decided I could have some fun customizing my phone and getting a "Custom Rom".
So, I got a TWRP recovery, made a Nandroid backup. Then flashed RR 5.5.6 (After wiping Data/System/Dalvik/Cache), then flashed GAPPS. IT WAS ALL OKAY, until I pressed "reboot". BOOM Phone dies.
Well, if disconnected from PC cable, it only vibrates once when I keep holding power button. But it doesn't even blink LED or show anything up.
If connected to PC cable, it begins "automatically" to blink RED 3 TIMES, then it turns into blue "assuming it's charging" and stays like that, but nothing happens after that. If I keep pressing the power button alone nothing happens, but if I press it with UP volume key "down does nothing", 2 things happen. One: The PC detects a reconnecting of the phone, Two: the same procedure happens again "RED 3 TIMES then Blue". NOTHING SHOWS UP AT ALL.
NOTE: My recovery was installed from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647480
Help please
Also please tell me if this a SOFT or HARD brick? So I can know where to search for help.
UPDATE: Now sometimes my phone instead of blinking 3 times red then blue just gives all LED colors then doesn't do anything.

To get it to power off you hold the volume up and power button until it vibrates three times. It must be off before you can flash boot any recovery.
Download and install Sony PC companion, start the support zone, start Phone/Tablet software update, click on repair my tablet. Follow the instructions. It will ask you to have the phone off then put the USB jack in while holding the volume down. Follow the instruction exactly.
I'm sure that if the lights are flashing then the phone is ok, it just needs the boot sector repairing.
The other way to repair it is with the flashtool, and this is the way forward if you want to get it ready for a custom rom, but there is a lot of reading to do
Did you check that your phone can be unlocked,?
It doesn't sound like you unlocked it, and RR rom is CM based so it was always going to end in tears until you'd unlocked the bootloader.
XperienceD has compiled a great thread on how to here
I nearly made the same mistake. If you come from a Samasung or similar where all you have to do is root the phone and flash, the Sony can be a bit fiddly, there's a whole other process to go through.
Don't panic, it will work again, and don't flame Nuts recovery thread because you didn't read up on how to do it right.

First of all, thank you a lot of comforting me.
I actually read your comment and currently following the PC companion method. About "turning it off" it only worked (gave vibrations) when the phone was connected to PC through cable, otherwise nothing happens. Yes it did give me 3 quick vibrations. I am waiting now for the firmware to be downloaded, let's hope it work.
Yes, sir. I did NOT unlock my bootloader, I was afraid to lose my DRM keys even after backing them up. But it seems I have lost them anyways, lol.
I will give a look about that thread you gave me the link to. Once again thanks for comforting me. I will let you know what happens.
Cheers.

I tried this, and it's not working at all. It shows the "prepare" screen, then I hold the voldown button and connect it, then a window flashes "appears and then disappears for 1 second" as if it's attempting to reconnect. "Check attachments".
SONY PC COMPANION still eats my connection though, the update progress bar has a lot of bugs.
Help ?

Oops. I should have replied to you on this thread.
Anyway, check out my reply on NUT's thread.
It includes instructions on how to use flashtool to flash back to stock.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
