If you have not modified anything from the phone and u just updated from Sony then call Sony, it is under warranty and any issue with the Phone they will fix it or give you a new one.

Did you... Install a recovery? Just asking because you said not rooted.

ODIN mode, potential brick

Hey there.
I am boarding an airplane in a couple hours so I am urgently seeking help.
I am using akop b25. I was installing a Google music apk and my phone restarted. It then went into a boot loop.
When I turn the phone in using power+volume down, it boots into a screen like fast boot except it says ODIN mode in red at the top, under the android picture it says downloading.... do not turn off the target. The only thing I can do from here is battery pull or press the power button to activate "start", which just boots the device and back into boot loop.
Can anyone help me with this situation. Thanks alot
Try another button combo. Volume up and power button?
In recovery, reflash the rom. I'm not sure though how an apk install caused boot loops.

To get to fastboot the button combo is Vol Up + Vol Down + Pwr. From there select recovery and reflash.

Wow, epic face palm. I could have sworn fast boot was volume down only. Okay, I should be fine then.
Thanks a lot guys

can't turn on my Ion..

after I tried to flash stock rom by flashtool, I can't turn on my ion..nothing appered on LED, no vib, nothing on screen.
what should I have to do? doesn't work power+vol down or vol up..plz help:crying:
thanks
press power + volume down (do it for a good minute just to ensure
(you said that you tried it but if it did not work then you did it wrong or are lying...)
pull the battery or wait for the battery die
I don't know if ion has the same battery reset combo like xperia s but you can try:
Hold volume up + power for 15 second,until you get 3 vibrations.
This like removing and re-inserting the battery.
Try to re-flash the firmware after that using flashtool.

After the flash did you unplug your phone from the pc and try to turn it back on or hold power + volume up for 5 seconds?

im trying to unroot my phone using binary .. after that i turn off my phone and then my phone cant open only lights only.. i try to hold power + volume up.. nothings happen .. it also the same lights only.. help me please
If you can get into download mode you can just reflash the ftf in flash tool, binarys script seems to cause more issues then it causes. Just flash your ftf in flashtool boom roots gone

Do you have a locked bootloader like my Ion does? If thats the case, you have to re flash clockwork recovery every time you restart your phone to be able to access the custom loader.

This phone doesnt have any Volume +/- power button trick. It ONLY has the yellow reset button. Its a pain in the A*S!
Try a few things first.
1) When you hold down the yellow reset button, are you ONLY holding it down for a few seconds, and it vibrates ONCE?
Have you tried holding it down for 10 seconds, until it vibrates TWICE, indicating it has powered off completely, and THEN try connecting it?
2) If step 1 got your phone to power off completely try:
-Connecting your phone to your PC via USB with the volume DOWN button held and see if you get a GREEN L.E.D. If you do you have
successfully entered flash mode, in which case you can simply flash an FTF file with flashtool.
-Connecting your phone to your PC via USB with the volume UP button held and see if you get a BLUE L.E.D. If you do you have
successfully entered fastboot. From here, as long as you have ADB and your devices drivers installed on your computer, you can flash
a boot.img or "Kernel" with a fastboot command in a command window (fastboot flash boot boot.img). The easiest way to get a kernel or
boot.img with a baked in recovery is to download the latest Cyanogenmod, unzip and extract the boot.img, and flash it via fastboot.
Since you have an unlocked bootloader already, your device should be able to use an AOSP kernel.
From there you should be able to at least boot into recovery, and flash something from your SD card.
Id recommend just flashing the latest Cyanogenmod just to get your device up and running. From there you should be able to follow steps
get back to stock if thats what your looking for.
I hope at least one of these options work.
If not, like that last guy said, take it to a service center and get it checked out.
GOOOOD LUUUUCK!!

All ZL's are like that. Hold down till 1 vibration for reboot. Hold down till 3 vibrations for power off. The yellow reset button will not power on the device however. I figured I'd check just incase my power button decided to go for a sh*t.

Bootloader Issue

I am having a problem with my phone. I installed CM 11 on it via TWRP 2.6.3 but for some reason the flash didn't workout well and the phone was stuck in the boot animation. The problem is now I am not able to access bootloader because of a faulty vol down button. Before it would work some time, but now have tried it several times but can't do any thing. It just recognizes the power button press and turns the phone on and it gets stuck in bootloader. How do I get in recover to solve this problem.
Any advice?
