Ok after my sony ericsson xperia play did the software upgrade while on the charger, it will not boot back up!!
Not sure what happend, but when you press the power button, it only vibrates once but will not boot back up!
It just shows a black screen!!!!
I have sent it in to the shop and we are stuck as to how to get it on.
You can not even get into the boot loader screen!
Its been a week, and i don't know what the hell to do!!!
Some one please help!!!!
Does the power button light up green when you hold down the search button while plugging into a computer? If so, use flashtool to flash back to the stock firmware
Yes it dose, the tech guy and me have tried to do so, however the computer sees the device but dose not know what it is, however even when the files are finished it sitll dose not boot up!

If it lights up green then you cant get into fastboot, it should light up blue, if im not mistaken!
Is your phone Rooted, with BL Unlocked, and do you have CWM Recovery? You said you can not get into Bootload screen? Did you mean Recovery? Try pushing volume down repeatedly while pressing the power button, continue hitting volume down till you see the recovery screen. If you can get into recovery just do a nandroid recovery/restore, provided you did a back up prior to your issue.
It dose not light up blue, but it dose not go into the recovery screen at all, in fact when you press the power button, gives a small vibrate and the screen is still black!
Also when you put it on the charger the LED light is green, really frustrated.
However, I am new at this, like I said only had the device for a day, and this happened after I did a software update, so I am not sure what a CWM means, kindly clarify, think of giving instructions not just to a newbie, but to some one that has no clue what is going on! LOL sorry man I really am new to all of this, I just want it to work, so kindly provide me with step by step instructions that you would give to a five year old child.
Hmm... that's interesting. A CWM is a custom recovery. Green light when plugged in means its charging. It sounds almost like your phones LCD is not receiving a signal anymore, if that's the case, seeing as you wouldn't see anything on the screen in order to even do a recovery, I don't see a lot of options here. If its brand new, then its under warranty, take it back and exchange it.

This has nothing to do with your LCD =|.
It's sony's stupid software bricking the xperia play for no valid reason ; happened to me as well.
Only fix is to download Sony Ericsson Update Service and keep on retrying the software update after it fails ; This is not the Sony Ericsson Pc Suite ; Also try removing the battery for 30 seconds after 6-8 retries on SEUS - happened to me a few times after the original occurence since i was trying to get back to complete stock.
Thanks for the input, I was lost on how to help out on this one! I thought it was only bricking the rooted unlocked phones.

Thanks, so I need to use the update app from Sony Ericsson?
I will try it, however would it work after I flashed it ?
I did a few times and it took the flash files, yet still wont boot up.

I wasn't trying to get him to use fastboot (blue light), I was saying to go into flash mode (green light)
Its still not booting up and the pc is now saying it dose not recognise my device!!
What to do????
As long as you can get into flash mode(green light, when you connect to pc) you're ok, wel re trying on seus and eventually it will work
Edit- it can take around 10 retries in my experience

Connect it to your PC with USB, Then go to support Zone in Pc Companion then select Phone software update and click Repair and follow the instructions, it worked for me when pc companion decided to brick me...
EDIT: Or you could always Flash 2.3.4, tut here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20151540 just follow the first two posts, I believe it will work if Flashmode is still working (The tut will tell you how to get into there)
correct me if I have said anything wrong, was in a rush.

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.

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?

I got this problem too when i'm flashing doomkernel. Will try this when i got home. i hope it will fix my problem.
Hello dear readers and great XDA members,
Last summer I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia Play R800i with the testpoint method. Everything worked fine: I installed CWM and loaded a FreeXperia version of CyanogenMod 9.1.
A couple of days ago, I wanted to finally update my ROM to a newer version since there had been so many releases since last summer. I loaded the new ROM and everything worked fine. However, some of the problems I hoped would've been solved by the update, weren't solved at all, especially the video capturing and panorama pictures. So I decided it maybe would be better to flash a new kernel.
I searched for a kernel, but couldn't find anything I liked. Then, I can't remember where, someone posted the "boot.img" files included in the FreeXperia CM9 ROM zip packages were kernel releases. So I decided to use flashtool and flash the boot.img as a new kernel.
This obviously didn't work and I tried some others. By the way: I couldn't boot into ClockWorkMod anymore since I tried to flash a new kernel. Only fastboot and flashmode would work.
I couldn't remember which kernel I used last summer, so I wandered the internet and eventually found that an X10 kernel was included in Flashtool. I though I remembered something about X10 from last summer, so I decided to stupidly flash that kernel to my Xperia Play.
After this flash completed, my phone doesn't respond to anything anymore. Following a list of things I tried (everytime after I tried something, I removed the USB cable and the battery to make sure the Xperia Play was turned off):
- When I press and hold the power button, nothing happens, not even the small vibrate always felt when the phone starts.
- Getting into fastboot mode doesn't work anymore (I tried with holding the search button and connecting USB, as well as some other buttons, nothing worked.)
- Getting into flashmode doesn't work either.
- No matter what I do, the phone won't give me a sign it's still alive. (no LED, no vibrate, no screen, nothing.)
- I tried the Sony Update Service, but that obviously doesn't recognize the phone
- Flashtool doesn't recognize the phone either.
- ADB doesn't recognize the phone of course.
- s1tool (the tool I used for the TestPoint bootloader unlock) recognizes I plug something in, but then gives an error it can't get access to it.
- I charged the battery overnight and tried all of the above again... still nothing works...
- When I plug in the phone to the PC, my PC recognizes something plugged in, but with the name QHSUSB_DLOAD in Device Manager.
(by the way: I am using Windows 8 Pro x64)
Is this phone completely dead or is there any way it can be saved? I was planning on keeping this phone at least until the end of 2013 or begin of 2014 before upgrading... An immediate upgrade is not in my budget and for now I have returned to my Nokia 5530 on Symbian, but that's nothing compared to Android :'(
Thank you very much in advance... I really hope someone can save my poor phone. I know I have been stupid, but I think I somehow panicked when I couldn't get the phone back into CWM and stupidly flashed the X10... Stupid stupid me.
Well I always update to the latest working kernel when I flash a new rom. The one working currently for me is fxp152 kernel.
Have you tried with battery, holding the search button, plug it in, then hold the Power button while still holding search.
Contact Alejandrissimo, he can probably help you.

Thank you for the response! Where do you find these kernels? Are those boot.img files included with fxp zip files the kernel images?
I hadn't tried to hold the power button after holding search button + plugging it in, but it doesn't work either
I will probably contact Alejandrissimo in a couple of days if I can't solve it myself or if nobody else can help me solve it...
Thank you!

Hi Tommy,
I am very sorry for my late response. I haven't fixed my phone yet, but I fear only a hardware flash would work... I think I am going to try to get my phone back to the store where I bought it and I hope they'll fix it. If they don't, I will try to find someone who can hardware flash or ask Allejandrissimo (an Xperia bricked devices expert, it seems...)
I hope you will get your phone to work again! (And please let me know how you did it if you succeed). I will keep you updated if there is any progress. I am very busy at the moment though, so I don't know when I can get my phone back to the store. In the meantime, I have also bought a used Galaxy Nexus...
Greetings,
Sven
EDIT: I think I also accidentally flashed the X10 rom or kernel in the flashtool...
Could be easily fixed by flashtool, tried the same (flashing x10) and phone looked dead. The I toke the battery out and placed it back. Then I could enter flashmode and flash a stock ftf.

Maybe you still have a chance! Bcoz I think you have completely damaged ta files+ semcboot which can only be repaired by se toolbox 3 which requires credits(money)( I m assuming it'll detect phone bcoz s1 tool recognized it with error ) if you have it than you can repair it or you can contact alejandressimo on gtalk.

Hello Arbiterandrea,
I am very sorry tot report that I wasn't able to fix my Xperia Play. I sent my phone back to the online store I bought it from and it arrived there 1 day before my guarantee expired. When I got my phone back, it was a brand new one with a different serial number, no screen protector, not a scratch. And it was for free thanks to my guarantee, even though I bricked it myself. (I just told them "it suddenly stopped working")
If you've got any guarantee left, you could try that, but if I understand correctly you already tried that... Then I think you should contact Allejandrissimo, I've heard many good things about him. I didn't contact him myself, though.
Good luck! And let me know if you have fixed it?
Greetings

Have you tried hard reset?
Press power and vol up for 10-15 sec, you'll get three vibrations, then try to start your phone again.
What update , btw?
Are you on official rom 4.0.4 or custom?

Don't think it's a hard brick, probably just soft brick.
If hard reset doesn't help, conect xs to pc and wait for hour or two, then try to go in fastboot mod.

Well xs is very tough phone, so it's very unlikely it's hard bricked but....
Connect it to charger over night, don't touch it or try to start up, just leave it for 15-20 hours and I'm sure it'll work.
Sometimes when battery discharge the phone wont go to off-line charging mod so it can't boot.
Try this and and let me know tommorow, just be patient and it'll start, you'll see.

Well xs is very tough phone, so it's very unlikely it's hard bricked but....
Connect it to charger over night, don't touch it or try to start up, just leave it for 15-20 hours and I'm sure it'll work.
Sometimes when battery discharge the phone wont go to off-line charging mod so it can't boot.
Try this and and let me know tommorow, just be patient and it'll start, you'll see.

You didn't wrote, which rom u use?, are u on stock or custom, I guess it's stock because of that update...
It's strange that you din't have to press ok or something like that before update starts...
Are u sure you battery didn't discharge during update process?

well there are such thing as confirmation while updating which i totally ignored and accepted every prompt .. nope my battery that time i think is more that 50% and i think my firmware that time is a stock 6.1.A.2.45 rooted .. now im just wondering why wont my phone warm up while plugged on my wall charger .. but then again i think i should go to a service center as other says or disassemble my phone and take out the battery .. im still thinking what to do .. anyway thanks for the time and effort bro ..

Do nor disassemble nothing, you couldn't loose warranty.
But if you root your device, you must unroot it before gi to service.
But it's not possible now so I think you will have to pay service...
But I suggests better pay service, if you take your battery out and that doesn't help, you have to go to service and they will charge you more.
Maybe they will flash firmware and maybe, just maybe don't realise it was rooted.

That's why I said that.
Leave it on charger. Of course, first check do you have working charger.
As you pull your battery out, that's like hard reset. If it boot, even for a second it's ok, it'll work.
Try connect it to pc, hold vol up key then plug the other end in pc, if nothing happened, charge it again.
Leave it on charger until it boot by it self.
If it takes 48h, then leave it, it'll work.
You'll see...

Prepare file for flashing, try to download offical ICS, prepare fastboot tool and wait, when your phone wakeup connect it like I said before, flash off ICS, you'll now have offline charging so connect it to charger and that should be it.

Just try everything first, I doubt thaet cpu or motherboard issue, it's probably soft brick but it's hard to tell.
Sometimes, especially when update fails, phone wont charge, it can't go to offline charging and you have to charge it for a very long time.
You aren't the first one, just go to forums and you'll see, in 90% it's soft brick.
Prepare those files I mentioned and try couple of times to boot in fastboot mode.
Only, recheck what como of keys is for that, vol down+power or volume up+power, I think I didn't said right the first time, think it's up for flash mode and down for fastboot mode.
Just google that...
Good luck mate...

Follow this link to unlocking bootloader, if you have phone with possibility to unlock, then we'll proceed.
( you will flash kernel with cwm recovery, that you will be able to flash custom rom)

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.

Does your phone charge through your charger when it is switched off?
when you connect your phone to pc in normal mode then does it detects??
No my phone doesn't charge with the charger when its turned off. And my pc detects my phone when connected normally.

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

It must be a hard-brick bro.. You should take it to the repair center..

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.

If it's a hard brick we can do nothing about it.
