[Q] Damaged my Xperia Play ...Please help me out...!!

I had recently flashed my phone with a custom rom (I do that all the time, when a new rom comes up, for testing) But because battery drain issues with custom roms, i decided to go back to the stock firmware, so i flashed my rom with the ver 4.0.1.A.0.283_(1247-6212). When i connected my phone to my wifi network it showed, a new update that was available i.e 4.0.1.A.0.42 ver. so i downloaded it via wifi and when it started installing the update, my phone suddenly switched off. And nw it wont turn on...I tried flashing it again, the flashing process successfully completes but still the phone wont switch on. When i press the power button it just vibrates for short time and a green light (flashing light) flashes on and off. The fone wont enter into fastboot mode. when i plug it to the usb the green light glow even if i dont press the back button.... what do i do...
any help would be appreciated ...thank you in advance.

Did you unlock the bootloader? You cannot update OTA with it.

yes the bootloader is unlocked..

i wonder if your phone can be resurrected by Alejandrissimo

That's what happens when you don't follow instructions.. There are many, many warnings all over these forums about OTA causing problems with an unlocked bootloader.

Did u try to fix the problem with Flashtool (flashing a stock rom on ur phone)

Yeah...I'ld be really carefull the next time....Can be repaired or i'll have to find a SE service center.. ??

Yeah ....flashing completes ... but it doesn't start, Does the same thing ....when i press the power button it just vibrates...

Try to flash a new kernel on it with a guided Tutoril...u will find one here or try to boot the RecoveryPLAY.img with fastboot too

I cant enter the fastboot mode....if i press the search button and plug the usb nothing happens for sometime and the fone enters the flash mode. so i guess that i'll have to recover the boot ...i guess its corrupted...

now i have the ultimate solution...relock the bootloader again, then flash a stock rom on it...it will work fine again!!

Phone not booting, charging flickers orange light

My phone does not charge, or boot.
It flickers the orange LED when charging.
Some posts told me that it might be overheating, but even after waiting for hours, the problem is not fixed.
I have used many ROMs and then reverted back to stock ROM using RUU and then updated my phone via internet. It did not give any problems till the following afternoon. But now, my ONE V is fully dead! :crying:
Please help me..

It might be soft bricked. :/

[Q] "GT-S7560" What ROM's currently exist? and help with some issues with current ROM

[Q] "GT-S7560" What ROM's currently exist? and help with some issues with current ROM
So.. first I want to know what ROM's currently exist for my "GT-S7560", not the M version. ("Samsung Galaxy Trend" from Vodafone Portugal)
if you'd be kind enough to list them for me.. it would be great.. cus I didn't find anything.
Second I'd like to know how can I reset the entire phone, to the original ROM, etc.. to put it like new.
Third, I'll explain why I need to know those things above..
1 month ago, I flashed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674091
All is fine.. phone is much faster with this new ROM..
But, my battery overheats.. when charging or not.
When my battery goes below 5%, it doesn't shut down the phone automatically like it says on the ROM page.
I go to sleep, I have my battery full, wake up next day. phone is turned off with 0% battery.
Can't charge it up again, cus it doesn't charge with the phone turned off. I was successful on charging it with the phone off for a few times.. but no longer.
So now i borrowed a battery from a friend, so I can fix this.. so I could turn on the phone...
So the problem must be the ROM. and so I need another one.. Or the stock one.. or a Stable one.
Hope you can help me..
Thz..
*I tried to revert back with my backups.. but they are corrupted.

Hi , you should try to install a stock rom..because custom roms have a lot of bugs...you can find a stock rom on samfirmware.com...and flash it via odin..it`s easy..put the phone in download mode by holding power , menu and volume down buttons at the same time..

Problem with SIM card...

Hello guys... I'm new here... but I've already follow lots of your instructions to help me out
The problem is... I have a Xperia ZL that is 1 yo... actually, it's 1 year and 1 month old... (yep, here in Brazil Sony delayed to release thei products, now it's a little bit faster, we already have Z3 in stores )...
The phone was rooted with towelroot and working just fine... suddenly it didn't recognize my SIM Card no more... then it just started to act strangely... the band signal was blank and there was a red X on it... then the phone stopped responding at all and started a infinite loop of restarts... just bought a new blank SIM and transfered my number to it... NOTHING HAPPENED.... I started search into the net, the forum... some attempts and nothing... so I use the Sony PC Companion to repair my phone... nothing new... then I use flashtool and the newest firmware "C6503 10.5.1.A.0.292" for it.. the phone started to work again...
I was using it for 2 days and suddenly (again) the same symptoms happened... no signal at all... then ... no phone at all... it starts... the a black screen with the "back" button and the "no signal", battery and time... when I try to pull down the bar it's RUSSIAN! (and I got the brazilian firmware)... then the phone restart... SONY..XPERIA... same things... nothing new...
I've tried to repair with PC Companion... flashed and REFLASHED with the firmware... and NOTHING... I thought it could be the SIM... but it's working on other phones....
Guys, DUNNO what to do... but I'm desperate!!!
HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

Frnd, install Catlog-Lofcat Reader application from playstore and let it monitor your phone in the background for sometime. See if there is any 'error' in processes related to your problem. Error is indicated by red colour square box with 'E' inside it

My suggestion,
Steps
1) If your bootloader is unlocked, relock your bootloader
2) Now goto flashmode, use flashtool to install your firmware which previously worked fine for you.
From your previous post, i could understand that after a fresh firmware update it was working fine for 2 days before the same problem started to appear.
3) Once the OS loads and home screen appears, goto playstore and download catlog and let it monitor until the problem occurs again.
We will see from your log.....
I suspect this could be a software issue. Try using any older firmware....

In flashmode I've done that and it's not working... same result everytime I do that...

What are the ftf files that you tried flashing using flashtools.give me the full version nos
You mean to say, after flashing your ftf file via flashtool this time it is going to bootloop
and it's not working for 2 days like it did before.
As previously said try download and flashing any old firmware(preferably jellybean) ftf files which has got good reviews that it worked.See if goes into bootloop without booting into homescreen
Don't worry if you have not done anything to unlock bootloader it will still be locked. Don't mess up with bootloader if you are not sure about what you are doing.
If it is unlocked it will ask to relock when you use BLU button in flashtool

K once you install a older ftf firmware file, reply me back with the results.(Preferably any jellybean version Example-10.4.1.b.0.101(Be sure to download your country variant)). If you are able to goto flashmode, i am sure that you can revive your phone. What i meant by full version no is nothing but 10.5.A.0.230 or 10.5.1.A.0.283 etc. I guess your ftf file is not proper thats why you are going into a bootloop. Like i said download any old firmware file and flash it.
If you had already unlocked your bootloader using BLU button in flashtool, now when you click BLU button it will give you and option to 'relock' instead of 'unlock'. If it shows 'relock' it means your bootloader is unlocked.
See my replies in the below thread to understand more about what could cause bootloop problems....

Sorry to hear that frnd. Seems something is really messed up in your phone.
I guess since you tried flashing different firmwares it might be a hardware problem causing this issue. But to be sure about which part (SIM related issue, could even be issue related to TA partition ) caused the reboot issue, i need to see the logs which will be easy for you to collect if your device boots properly,which is not possible for your case .
There is another way to collect it but you should have already enabled 'USB Debugging mode' in your mobile the last time it worked. Anyway try and select if it works. Check below link to see how to access logs. Even if we get logs if it is hardware related issue you still need to get it to sony service center.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/logcat.html
It is upto you. I could still further down on this issue but it is upto you. I suggest you, take your mobile to service center if they cannot do anything/if they say you should use it as a costly paperweight, get it here we will go on with advanced tracking methods/we will even try unlocking your bootloader and try flashing custom rom to see if it works. . But beware, i am NOT responsible for any further damage if it happens to your mobile...
If you further want to take the risk Private message me i will give you my skype id.

[SOLVED][Q] Sony Xperia T3 Suddenly Brick and Failed to Flash

Excuse me,
I want to ask about my problem. First sorry for my bad english, I can't speak english well
You can see on my post title, my device just brick (bootloop) suddenly when I used it. Oke I think my phone just need to flash. First condition (when bootloop) when I charge it and battery indicator will show up. Oke then I flash it, BUT when I flash it always failed in "proccesing fota-reset.ta", I was used newest flashtool. Then I try to charge my phone, BUT now battery indicator not show up. After a few minute battery indicator show up, it take a long time then usually.
Any suggestions?
Thx before
