Guys I need help. My SX Ion led is on red when I plug it on PC or in the wall but I can't turn it on. Every after 20 or 30 mins the Sony Logo pops out. But it only stops there, it will turn off again and show the Sony Logo again. Then after 1 min or 2, it goes back to that red led again. That's the cycle. I tried holding the Vol Down button while the Sony Logo is up but it won't enter the flash mode help guys.
Sorry for replying in my own thread, but guys. I REALLY NEED HELP, please.

open it up, disconnect battery cable from motherborard(easier than it sounds),connect usb cable to pc and to phone(yes with the battery cable still disconnected from the phone, the red light will start blinking) fire up flashtool and flash stock ftf. when the program prompts you to press power + vol up connect the battery cable to the motherborad while still holding vol + button. Phone should enter flashmode and ftf should flash.
It sounds scary i know, but it is easier than it sounds.

My ION got brick.
I had my bootloader unlocked. I was trying to update my phone via flashtool. But unfortunately that my computer unexpectedly shutdown when flashtool is on about 50%. Then my phone become bootloop (at the SONY logo).
I soon restarted my PC and hold Vol+ & power for 8 seconds to hard reset my phone. But when I tried to get into the Flashmode, I found it was not only unable to get into the Flashmode but also unable to boot. I even tried to hold Vol+ & Power for about 2 minutes but nothing happened.....
Idk what to do now... Now I have my ion charging with EP850 for about 50 minutes but nothing happened. (No LED, No Screen lighted, No button lighted) Anyone who can help me?

Use the recover from soft-brick thread sticky'd in the general section. Or click the link in my signature. Read the OP for help then post with info about phone. Like is it rooted, unlocked, current Rom, what happened, what you have tried. You will get help there.

I also had this problem. I disconnect the battery and reconnect while ready for connect in fastboot mode. Otherwise it can't be done. So try disconnecting and reconnecting.

it's happening to me now...
so i should just wait until he battery runs out, then again turning it on using USBcable and vol up button, then flash the rom again?
In my case it works...
I dont know an other method
Have you tried the same mod?

I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia ZL and changed the rom, but now, when I try to turn it on, the LED blink in the Red color three times and turn off. When I plug the charger and try to turn on the device, the SONY logo appears and the device reset, and stay trying to turn on. My device is a C6502 10.3.1.A.0.244 US. What I need to do to recovery the phone?
Try flashtool to flash the device

Yes, I tried, with flashtool, Sony PC Company, SUS, but anyone works. Rarely when I press Vol Up + Home and plug the device in the charger, he turn on but when unppluged, it turn off. And most of the time when I connect him to the charger, the device try to turn on, the sony logo appears but reset. I tried that with bootloader locked and unlocked.

Dude...Xperia ZL does not have hardware home button and when device doesnot turn on..there is no possiblity to pres home button.
In ZL we need to press volume down button and connect it to PC for flashing or updating OS...

But your phone just connect with your phone by flashmode,not fastmode,you want to gonna fastmode,you need to shutdown your phone,and press VOL+,and then connect with your computer.Just do as what forumer said.Don't mixed.If you want to install the customer rom,you need to unlock your cellphone.Remember you need to go the following step:
1,root your phone,
2,unlock bootloader(fastmode)
3.install the recovery.(fastmode)
4install the kernel from the rom.(fastmode)
5install the rom.(recovery)
6reboot into the phone

power&VOL+ gonna fastmode,power&VOL- gonna flashmode.Seams the driver is different.If you unlocked the bootloader I think your fastmode driver is installed.And whatever of mode you went in,you must power down your phone.not restart.

I didn't get it but i tell you no response with any other buttons neither vol- or power on by itself
I only wait while charging till sony logo appears by itself without pressing buttons then i try everything and the only positive response i get is :
as i told you ( power & vol + ) ----> goes into flash,mode !!!

Hi i have flash my phone with a miui firmware and everything was ok.
i have update the firmware for error and phone power off. the bootloader was open and i have a custom recovery.
now i cant go in recovery and flashmode and flashtool doesnt see it, when i press power and volume + the phone vibrate for 3-4 times and appears a light blue led and then it power off..
i connected the phone to the pc and i press volume+ and blue led appear, is it fast mode?
how can i do?
the users of this forum are the best
Sorry for my bad english
thanks :_(
That sounds like what happened to me recently. Basically, there are two modes the phone can go in when it's booting up and the USB is connected. One is fastboot mode, where you view the blue LED, which is what you are seeing. The other one, attained by pressing the other volume key, will get you into flash mode with a green LED and will allow you to use the flashtool to re-flash a stock firmware. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's only if your bootloader is unlocked, but you should be able to try anyway.

If there is activity in the flashtool when you connect then it doesn't matter about the led being lit.
