Hello,
I have accidently hard bricked my xperia play.
After i soft bricked it due to flashing a wrong rom i managed to fix it again but then the phone couldnt detect my sdcard.
So i tried to install a new rom again what then failed badly.
I tried to flash it with flashtools but it failed because i forgot to activate debugging so i just plugged my phone out and tried to start it but it somehow didnt work....
Now my computer only does a sound when i plug it in and flashtool nor my computer can detect my phone.
There neither is a led blinkin..
Is there anything i can do?

well i first flashed the wrong rom and had a soft brick
after that, i fixed it by flashing the stock rom
then, i again tried to flash a firmware with flashtools because my phone couldnt detect the sd-card and cwm somehow didnt work anymore.
while trying to flash the firmware i had to unplug my phone while flashing because i didnt activate debuggin, the flashing had already started tho.

is it same for fastboot mode ? (power off, hold search and plug in usb)
Try other usb port, or maybe different cable
reinstall drivers from flashtool folders
right-click on "my computer" , click "manage", click "device manager". Is there any item with yelow mark, someting called "adb" or "semcusb"?
What is your model? i,a,at or x? locked or unlocked bootloader?
Wich stock firmware did you tried to flash previously? .79?

hi,
im not sure if i did it right but it still didnt work
I did it like shown here http://i2.minus.com/i9RmZrmhz0sq4.jpg so I connected the pointed end to the TP and the other end of the cable with the micro-usb.
Oh shoot,
i just realized that i didnt erase the old cache and date when i tried to install the new rom after i installed the stock rom because i couldnt enter cwm.
So is there anything I can do?

Try PC Companion.
Or try to enter in flash mode from different computer
Basicly, all you need is to enter flash mode and flash stock ftf with flashtool.
Why you can't enter flash mode, i am unable to understand...

reinstall drivers from flashtool folder (most probably it's in c:\Program Files (x86)\Flashtool\drivers\ )
Connect your Play in flash mode (power off, hold back and plug in usb)
Look in device manager for anything with name sony, sony erricson, semc, adb, r800... Expand all items if you have too. Screenshot would help also
Check in other mods too (normal and fastboot mode)

Phone with official rom , never isntalled CWM or any unofficial stuff. It boots ok to standard mode but not any other mode. I have tried in two different pcs with Windows XP and Windows 8. Phone doesn't even seem to try to boot in those modes, is not like the PC isn't detecting it.
I'm totally lost on how to recover the flashmode functionality to be able to unlck bootloader and install CM, any help will be welcome.

You must be doing something wrong.
Flashmode - turn the phone off, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Back button, connect USB cable to the phone. Green LED should light up, then phone is in flashmode.
Fastboot mode - turn the phone off, connect USB cable to PC, hold down Menu/Option button, connect USB cable to the phone. Blue LED should light up, then phone is in fastboot mode.
Nah, it didn't worked. I got it to still a recovery with X-parts app. Booted to the recovery, wiped everything, did a factory restore, since that moment it won't boot at all, Sony logo and it won't power off without taking off the battery. Of course, still won't enter flashmode or flashboot.

Did you install the drivers for it? If you want to use either flashtool or fastboot you need to install these programs along with the drivers. Also, ignore the prompt by Sony PC Companion when prompted. If you can boot into ROM, check that USB debugging is enabled.

Drivers installed, USB debugging enabled, tried on two diferent computers.
I have some experience not only in flashing roms but also in rom cooking, kernel compilation, etc... and after all day I couldn't get it to go to flashmode. My girlfriend -she is the owner of the phone- remembered me we already have problems being unabled to access flasmode when she bought the phone and wanted to update it with sony software, so I finally took it to the shop so they can send it to repair service.
Thanks guys for your prompt replies.

But I spent hours now, to find a method to reanimate my phone. Still I didnt find a suitable semc package or sin_file_set to flash in s1tool.
In other thread I read a hint that maybe I destroyed my trim area. First of all I made a backup of trim area with backupTA program. The backup is a .zip file or .img file. Is there a possibility to restore my phone?

Hi there,
I believe I hard bricked my phone as well (screen stays black, phone vibrates once when keeping the power button pressed, cant get into recovery, volume down button pressed connecting via USB shows green red light flash).
However when connecting to the S1 tool Emma from Sony it detects the phone (see below screen shot) and says the bootloader wasn't unlocked. I am pretty sure I have done this. (It is my first attempt to install a custom ROM).
The S1tool in the description below seems not to recognize the device.
After ploughing through some threads and reading about opening the device looking for test points I thought your thread here seems to be more fit for purpose.
I used EasyRootTool and LockedDualRecovery. I also created a back up file with Backup-TA before bricking it. I got this on my other machine and can attach this if needed tomorrow.
Some help and guidance would be very much appreciated.

Another point: in flashtool you can also unlock and lock the bootloader BLU button). (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440597) (http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/46-sony-xperia-z1-compact-d5503) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081) (Type in phone *#*#7378423#*#* and go to Service Info => Configuration. If bootloader is unlocked it will say: "Bootloader unlocked: Yes". If it says something else like "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes", it means the bootloader is locked.). So you can check, if your bootloader is really unlocked

I dont believe, that your phone is ahrdbricked. It seems to be a soft brick: screen stays black, phone vibrates once when keeping the power button pressed, cant get into recovery, volume down button pressed connecting via USB shows green red light flash.
So, you can boot in flashmode. Use flashtool (latest version 9.18), its a powerful tool. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658952) (http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/09/0...allows-you-to-download-xperia-firmware-files/) (http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php) If you have installed flashtool, change to the flashtool folder (C:\flashtool), then drivers, execute the .exe and choose the drivers (fastboot, flashmode and for phone model), then run flashtool. In the links above you can see how to use it. Just boot your phone in flashmode (volume down and usb connecting, run flashtool, click the flash button, choose flashmode and choose a stock rom (which you must download before and copy as .ftf file in the folder firmware in flashtool folder, or type the button device, checkdevice updates, choose your device and download a appropriate stock rom ), then reboot, root yout device again with easyroottool or newroot, reboot in recovery and flash a custom rom. I think it should be possible.

If the led turns green for a second flashmode works, so you're doing something wrong.
Have you turned off the phone before?
USB debugging is irrelevant for entering flash mode.
Could also be a matter of drivers not installed? There are flashmode-specific drivers. There is a folder in Flashtool's folder called "drivers". You can install from there. Choose the Flashmode driver from the list, and also (maybe optional) the one from the list that is for your phone. The fastboot one wouldn't hurt either.
If you are running Windows 8, it may refuse to install these drivers. You can get around that easily... more info about it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378530
You probably already know this but I just want to mention it, for the sake of covering all bases..
the screen doesn't turn on when your in flashmode, it stays black.
The led should stay on but the screen doesn't.
I have the very same problem. Nothing helps. I have tried win7, 8 with no luck. bypassed the problem by creating own flashable zips
Hi All,
My phone was shutting itself down yesterday for no reason, so I boot into TWRP, thinking I should do something there, maybe restore to a previous backup, or wipe cache, etc...
I was in a hurry to go to the game (GO WARRIORS!), so I was just trying to get the phone ready for the game...
I tried the "Regular" wipe, and when it didn't work, I went into advanced wipe, and chose system wipe and REBOOT the phone (BAD IDEA!)....
so now my phone won't go past the SONY logo, because there is no system to boot into
What can be done here? Flashtool won't recognize my phone, and kept telling me I need to install the correct driver, and I can't boot into recovery.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
Try connecting your phone to Sony PC companion it has all the device drivers. It may not recognize your phone when you connect it but proceed to the update/renew tab and follow the on screen prompts.
Nope ,won't connect, it turns on for like 1 second when the cable is plugged in... then it turns off again
is there any other way?
Connect it with fastboot.
To do this, hold the volume up button while connecting it with your PC, the LED will go blue.
Now you can either flash a rom via flashtool, repair it with PC Companion, or emma.
But since you have TWIRP, I would guess PC companion won't help you. You will likely also whipe all your backups stored on the phone by doing this, unless they're on the SD card, but that's better than having no phone at all.

1) install flash tool by androxyde
2) open the flash tool.
3) click thunder button and select flashmode.
4) connect your phone via usb (if message: device status no found [is ok])
5) press reset button 30 seconds( 1 vibrate and again 3-4 vibrates)
6) and now your phone is connected via flashmode.
7) Download original rom and put in any folder. [PM ME IF NOT HAVE ORIGINAL ROM .ftf]
8) Select "any" folder in source folder firmware selector
8) Press flash and wait.

I was able to flash "C6506_10.6.A.0.454 R2E_Customized US" to the phone, however ,after the process is done, it still won't get past the SONY screen.
Xperia shows underneath SONY logo this time though, so something was done to the phone.

If you use Windows 8, you must disable driver signature before installing flashtool, for this, hold shift key while restart your computer, enter in the proper settings and choose "disable signature driver", after this, install flashtool, then go to its folder and find folder driver and install the Xperia Z family driver. After these processes your phone will be recognized by flashtool

Does your phone start to home screen when you put in AC charging from wall socket?
I think you mean Flashmode...If you didn't try flashmode.Install needed drivers from flashtool folder.Connect you phone in flashmode (volume down+cable into).disconnect it.
load ftf-exclude any .TA files if you r not locked to any carrier.--click on 'No final verification'.
flash and connect when asked when displays .Hope it helps.Keep us updated.

And before that I did a factory reset and format data (I got some issues on my phone and wanted to get rid of them).
Now I can not enter TWRP, I can not enter any thing. At the time beeing, after many restarts my red button is broken, I switch it off by "Power/Vol+". When I connect USB or push Power it starts and showing "SONY"-Logo, and that's it.

Hello,
I think I bricked my phone
I wanted to upgrade from 4.4.2 to Lollipop http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/stock-14-6-1-236-customized-lollipop-5-t3264557
And before that I did a factory reset and format data (I got some issues on my phone and wanted to get rid of them).
Now I can not enter TWRP, I can not enter any thing. At the time beeing, after many restarts my red button is broken, I switch it off by "Power/Vol+". When I connect USB or push Power it starts and showing "SONY"-Logo, and that's it.

Do you have adb / fastboot on your computer?

Yes, I have, but can not enter my phone/don't know how to enter.
I tried switch off (by Power and Vol+), holding Vol- (the same with Vol+) and plug in USB - it starts by showing red light for 2 sec than "SONY", and than stps - no vibration, no light, only steady "SONY"
cmd shows: D:\Programme\Android-Tools\ADB>adb reboot recovery
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
D:\Programme\Android-Tools\ADB>adb reboot recovery
error: device not found
D:\Programme\Android-Tools\ADB>adb reboot bootloader
error: device not found
Phhu, hopefully I do something wrong?!
Install these:

and try again

Power off by holding power and volume up, just wait until it turns off. When it's totally shut off, just hold volume up while plugging in cable and don't let go of volume until you see blue led. Then you're in fastboot mode. If you have drivers installed, it's very easy to get into recovery from there. Report back.
If everything fails...
Install Flashtool on your PC, install the necessary drivers (flashtool helps you with that), download the current firmware in .ftf format and apply it with Flashtool to your phone.
No worries, we all were at your point sometime but you can always recover
Thanks for your hints, folks!
I'll try them tomorrow and give feedback than.
Happened to me once.. Accidentally wiped my data..
Only thing I managed to do is reinstall kk via flashtool
Xperia Z1 Compact .386 rooted
...nothing works.
I have almost everything installed: adb.exe (800kb from 25.07.2013), fastboot.exe (157kb from 25.07.2013), Flashtool (Version 0.9.14.0 built on 12-02-2014 22:45:00), Xperia Companion (Vers. 1.1.24.0), Z1 Compact drivers (device manager says: Sony sa0109 ADB Interface Driver Vers. 2.0.10.30018 from 13.05.2013).
Nothing can connect my Win10-PC via USB3.0 to my phone, it always starts (when I connect it to USB by holding wether Vol+ or Vol-) with red (...pink?) light for about 4sec, followed by showing "SONY" - end of anything.
I'm desperate :crying:
Do you get the green led light when connected in flash mode (vol down when connecting)?
Xperia Z1 Compact LP .386 rooted
No, only red light, than "SONY" without any vibration...
May it be, that usb-debugging was off, whenn I did format data?

I don't think it's related..
Maybe you don't have the right drivers on pc?

The fastboot or flashmode mode should always work - regardless of what you did regarding ROMs or setting or wipe etc.
It is there to save your phone if you messed up.
It is strange that you cant enter these modes. Normally its really a driver issue and you PC does not recognize your phone.
But it seems that you have tried installing them already.
Just to make sure... Your phone charges normally when you plug it in right? So it cant be a broken cable or broken micro-USB connection on your phone?
Also make sure your phone is really shut down - try resetting it with the red button next to your SIM-card slot.
Your volume buttons were fine before right?

BINGO!!! ...the usb-cable, it's a pretty new one, but I know, the Z1c doesn't like every cable
Now I can enter Flashtools flash and fastboot mode.
I think I lost almost everything on my Z1c, even my TWRP, don't I?
What is now for noobs like me the best way to install this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/stock-14-6-1-236-customized-lollipop-5-t3264557
Many Thanks!
Flash kitkat, root with pc, install twrp recovery, and flash lp rom from recovery

Thank you all for your input!
It was the usb-cable which did load my Z1c and in this case (no other data on the phone) light the purple LED and display the "SONY"-logo - but nothing else!
All the future problems are more on the software-side (my head) than on the hardware (the cable)...
Haha glad you sorted it out. I don't know why but I also have USB cables in my collection that just won't work with my Z1C... But now you know
If you need further help in restoring with flashtool you can also look up this thread for some helpful links : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631291
Try to get your hands on a .108 firmware (I always keep one on my PC in case I f*** up ). They are easy to root with EasyRoot and from there you can flash dualrecovery. With TWRP you are good to access your backups or flash anything you want again.
