k it to the local store i got it from would they give me a new one???
Use flashtool to restore to default firmware. Then re try
IMO it is not bricked, BUT you need to reflash the kernel or flash a different kernel. not sure if this applies to the R800 but do you have a charge only cable?

Did you download the proper ftf file for your phone and place it in the "firmware" folder?
This happened to me. Get flash tool and do not connect t until it prompts you. So select the file you wanna flash and such and at the end then connect your phone itll work. Just take your battery out each time you fail to make sure your phone is off. Believe me I was worried to but for some reason that trick worked.

Oh I forgot... hold the back button to make it enter flash boot (different that fastboot when you are holding search) flash the stock firmware so you can start over.

I know you mentioned Alejandrissimo, so I just want to ask, how long did it take for him to get your Google Talk invite? I contacted him by the website and it told me that it cost 24 USD and to add him on Google Talk, I sent him $24 through paypal, the transaction completed according to the site so I'm sure he got it, but I've been waiting on Google Talk for about 3 hours now. I'm sure he's probably busy right now though. Just curious.
Okay, but the computer doesn't recognize the PHONE!
When I connect the phone to the computer, the LED flashes red and the computer says there is something plugged, but not identified, preventing the flash boot.
Now i can connect the phone to the PC, but only lights up the green LED (charging, i guess), even if i hold the "back" or the "search" button while plugging the USB.
This LED is the only proof of, at least, it is receiving energy.

FINALLY. Your advice worked. I did the same thing the OP did, flashed a kernal from cm9. I couldn't even get the charger to recognize or do anything. After taking battery out and starting flashtool process first, It took 4 times with flashtool. Thanks again.

It is not working for me. Could you guys give some more details of how you did it? I have tried already like 15 times and no luck. Also, is it happening to you guys that the phone will ONLY go into flashmode? I can flash anything into it but it will not boot, it will just stay in flashmode.
What I am doing is basically have the phone without battery and then start flashtool until it asks me to connect the phone. At that point I place the battery and connect the phone to the usb without pressing the BACK key, as it is not needed in my phone. Once the flashing is done, the phone goes into flashmode again.
Did this happen to you too?
Cesarramson,
Yep, sounds familiar. Is your phone unlocked? Is it r800x or another?

First charge your phone for a while, then download flashtool and sony xperia s official firmware.
As your phone is switched off, press and hold volume down button and connect it to the pc, green led will turn on,then flash your phone with flashtool.
I always use this method when i brick my xperia s.

Try installing PC Companion or/and Sony update service and maybe you could use one of them to recover and install stock rom again
Or if you can't install it using PCC or sus, try flashtool again, because the two sony programs will install drivers , too

I am not able to put my xperia m in flashmode using the flashtool. I tried turning off phone and then holding volume down and inserting the USB cable but nothing happens, there is no led flashing when i do that. Also my phone is not charging while connected to pc when its turned off.
I have every driver installed and i am using the lastest version of flashtool.
Dude you need to hold Vol + button to enter in fastboot.
I have tried both volume up and vol down nothing happens.

If it's a soft brick, you can repair from PCC or flash using flashtool.

Lets just analyze your problem:
You launched flashtool and started a flash session.And then a window appeared in flashtool saying that you have to connect your phone in flashmode. You pressed Volume+ and connected your phone.
I want to know what happened next,
Did the window telling you to connect the device in flashmode close down automatically?
Was a pop-pup shown in your pc telling you to choose your phone model?
If these didnt happen, what else did?
I can help you certainly if you can answer these questions.
How do i unbrick my phone? I can't take it to center because i have rooted and unlocked bootloader.

OK....So here is my story and problem. About 2-3 months ago I was charging my phone and instead of charging it was losing the charge. I unplugged it from the charger and it would reboot itself. It showed low battery so I would connect it back to the charger and it would all of a sudden show full battery. After a while on the charger, I unplugged it, turned it off and then tried to turn back on but no response. I pressed power button with volume down button and nothing happened. So now I have been reading all kinds of threads of what I could possibly do and I have had no success. The phone was on the charger for about 2 days and the red light turned off. I finally downloaded Flash tool but it will not recognize my phone nor had it in the devices. I need help! I love my phone and can't send it for repair. If anyone can help, please let me know what I need to do. I also need help on drivers for Flash tool. Thank you!
If you can get your phone to boot
Let it fuly charge, then let it fully die untill it turns off then boot and fully charge
Your battey may have calibrated weird(xperias auto calibrate)
Also if that doesent work then try volume + power up, if your device is bricked this can take upto 45 mins untill it actualy forces off (3 buzzes in a row)
Try flashing then (and ensure the cable isnt plugged in when you do it)
Also ensure drivers are installed for your device (goolgle is your freind)

I have tried all of that stuff and I still don't get any response. The phone is currently on the charger. When I first plugged it in the red light was one and then started to blink and now is solid. I am unable to download ADB drivers cause my computer does not recognize my phone, not even thru pc companion.
You dont need your phone to install adb try googleing some (you may find installable Adb drivers for windows)
Well red LED? Anyway if it shows a red led when you plug in,
Try pluggin in while holding volume down, if you get a green Light that is good, search up a stock FTF for xperia ion and use flashtool to flash in flashmode (green led while plugged in after holding volume down (may be blue than thats bootloader mode try volume up)
If your ion still doesent boot then they may be a physical problem

Okay I will try to help you here. I have had to do this a few times now and yes it sucks. When the light goes off you need to let it continue to charge. Eventually the device will start trying to boot the charging screen. Once it does this you need to hold the power and volume + just long enough for the screen to go off. It will look like it is bleeding out. As soon as it does this let go and do not let it buzz or you will have to start all over. Once you get the device to shut off you can try holding volume down while plugging the device into the computer and it should give you flash mode. Let it load drivers if it needs to and then try to set up your flash with flash tool.
Another option is to take the back off and disconnect the battery cable. Once you leave it off for a few seconds plug it back up and reassemble the device. It should now boot back up. At the least it will let you flash a ftf again.
Here is the link to all the stock ftf files. Checked the links and they are still good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752345 :good:
I'd recommend unplugging the battery if you have access to the tools to do it. I have the at&t model as well. Once you get the flash mode on I'd recommend flashing the international lt28h version excluding the baseband. You'll keep your LTE support and get rid of at&t bloatware, later you can mess with build.prop to get it to say LT28i or LT28at if you prefer.
Thank you everyone for the help in trying to revive my xperia. I think I am going to give up for now being that I am not able to download what I need and my phone just stays on the charger with no progress. Even with the red led light out and on the charger for days on end, there is nothing. Again, Thank you and God Bless
