I have a R800i which i bought from my brother. It have not been flashed before, but one morning i was all black. Only thing that happens when i try to turn it on, is that it vibrate shortly. I can enter "flash mode".
When i connect it to charging, nothing happens, and now i cant turn it on/no vibrate when trying to power it on.
I have now tried to flash it to .63 no succes. then tried with .79, and still no succes.
Could it be a problem with the battery?
Any help is appriciated
Nope, it's ALS problem, you will have to replace it, if you flash a JB kernel will work without any problem, because is disabled in kernel. Had the same issue.

Why are you replying to all threads with the same answer?
99% sure its not a ALS problem and the guy above has posted this same answer on multiple "issue" threads now.

BECAUSE, it's the same issue, and this is the cause, the phone vibrate, but nothing showed up.

Well no cuz it could be the flex cable and/or the screen or even a software problem. If you suggest a solution you should mention that "it could be" and "Nope, it's ALS problem" as that states you are 100% sure when you can't be.

Yeah, with fastboot flash LuPus JB v13 and then you will see that the screen showed up again.. But only with JB, no other versions will work.

lol rofl lmao on this thread. you can test your borked xplay if its has hardware problem ei: ALS or ribbon cable by powering it on, leaving it on for 5 to 10 minutes and calling it if rings then you know you have hardware problem with the exception of mother board. or try the wall charger method first remove the battery, second plug the unit to the wall charger(unit without the battery installed), third put the battery in and wait for the led of the power button to turn on, fourth hold the power button and remove the battery, fifth you will notice that the led still is lit even without the battery and then release the power button and press it again if it boots up then you have a faulty ALS if its not it either the ribbon or software issue.
off topic: I really hated this units of sony ericsson xperia with HW keyboards my DZ manages to out live them all. to my frustration I sent my xplay and pro to a firey grave.

Hi. I recently used the camera app to take some pictures. After that, I locked my phone. When I tried to unlock it, the screen remains black. I decided remove and put back the battery. After I did that, the phone still does not turn on. I connected the phone to the charger, the LED does not light up. Is my phone bricked? I did not flash/install anything, I was just using the camera app. I hope anyone could reply as soon as possible. Thanks.

I sent my first phone for repair 3 times, after the third I got a new one, then a month later it broke again. Works fine now though.. these things happen.
About a month ago my phone randomly started rebooting out of nowhere. It was in my pocket and rebooted a few times and stayed on for a while. It kept getting worse and worse to the point where it would not even boot up. I updated the phone using Kies and it worked for a few hours, but then it went back to doing the same thing. The warranty already expired and I replaced the screen on the summer, so it doesn't have the sticker behind the battery.
Today I installed the original software using Odin and it turned on and booted and seemed to work fine for around 2 minutes, but then it restarted and kept rebooting again. I have also noticed that the menu at the beggining when you press Vol + and - and the power button is not the same one as factory. Please help me out here with any possible solutions and let me know if you need more details. Thanks.
What does the recovery say when you press the volume keys and power button? Have you rooted it since you Odin'd back to stock?
Sounds similar to others who have had the power button go bad on them, search the general section and you can read up on that issue. Since you were able to replace the screen it shouldn't be a problem for you to replace the button actuator too!

Yeah I researched and tested the phone and the power button seems to be the issue. When I put the battery in the phone, it automatically turns on, so I guess it needs to be replaced. I will look into replacing it. Thanks. If you know how to do it, please help me out.
I'm having this issue too but i cleaned the power button with a straw(Capri sun)..i just made it pointy and cleaned around....been working fine for a whole day. I avoid pressing it so i use volume to wake phone up. I hope it helps, i was all crazy about my phone like 2 days ago because i didn't know what was the problem. If anything PM me.

Troubleshooting Advice
Have similar issues with sensitivity and powering off. Are there steps to take to make sure it is not failure of any other type?
So yesterday i tried to flash a new kernel (nova kernel) using cwm and after attempting to reboot, all i felt was a vibration and then nothing happened. Is my xperia s bricked? and if so is there anything i can do?
What works:
1. Able to hold power button and feel the single vibration; however, the screen remains blank after that.
2. Able to soft reset and hard reset but it does nothing
3. Able to connect to pc in flash/fastboot mode
4. Able to flash kernels and firmware (flashed full stock .55 and wiped everything, still no progress)
What doesn't work:
1. Screen will not turn on no matter what i do
2. Phone will not charge (no led, no screen)
3. CANNOT ENTER CWM!
Any help is appreciated.

that could be it...but i doubt it because when i flashed the kernel it was about 98% battery and i haven't been able to turn on the phone since. that plus i've left the phone charging for 8 hours last night, which ended again with no led and no screen...
i'll keep it plugged in though and see if anything happens

After you try to boot do you get any screen response? Like backlight or a quick blink. After turning on with no screen, does the pc recognize as usb drive or mtp device? I was just thinking maybe screen failure.

when i try to boot, i only get the one vibration that signals the phone has turned on (or in my case attempted to turn on). i can keep pressing and holding the power button multiple times consecutively and still get the same result. it's like the phone turns on and then shuts down immediately.
i only get led notifications when i connect to the computer in fastboot or flash mode, other than that i get nothing.

looked at that thread, nothing works. closest i came to something was plugging the phone into the wall for a while until the red led came on, but then it just turns off after 2-3 hours and i'm back to square one
Some have had to leave it plugged into charger for days. Then got green led, flashed and it started.
This is just one way these phones act goofy during soft brick. You just have to be patient, as all who have recovered have said.

Well great news phone is back and running great
I had it plugged in for about 18 hours then the Red light came on.
24+ hours later the Red light was off. So I tried to flash, nothing. It was just a wasted attempted and I nothing happened.
Plugged it back in, ~2 hours later the Green light came on and I could press Power to have the Battery Screen come on.
Flashed it and it worked! Thanks for the support!
I'm not sure why the Red light went off. I'm thinking maybe the cord was bumped and the charger wasn't plugged in all the way?

Maybe you should flash your xperia back to the stock ROM. You can do that using the official Sony flashtool: http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...ocked-xperia-smartphones-video-beta-download/ . Just watch the video and (hopefully) you will understand everything. After flashing back to stock ROM you can decide what you want to do with your phone afterwards
Hopefully this solves your problem!

Hey mates,
My HOX went down in terms of charging yesterday and I charged it for a while(It didn't easily get charged at first)
After working for a couple of hours, my screen goes off, and doesn't come back.
The Capacitive Buttons are working, and random apps can be opened by touching on the screen randomly(like torch apps)
Is is a software problem or a hardware one?
Is it something related to the voltage that handles the Screen?
Any help would be grateful!
