Hello friends I just bought Sony Xperia Arc S (LT18i) from eBay after 12 days of using it stopped working
I was using mobile in morning mobile was full charged and after some time it was off I try starting it but it was not starting I look over XDA and tried every thing still no result when I connect it to pc the green led stay on but when I connect it to adapter green light constantly blinks
I tried flashing it using flashtool with original firmware but phone keeps on disconnecting so installation gets aborted.Phone is not even showing Sony logo.
Note:-
1 My phone is not rooted
2 It is not upgraded to ICS
3 I tried everything single thing like taking battery out and holding power button, volume up and power everything
4 Phone is not under warranty
Please confirm me this is not an hardware issue and how to solve it
Thank you everybody for reading it.

I have this xperia ion which was running ICS smoothly till morning. I kept it using till the battery drained completely. After keeping it on charge for about 20 minutes when it failed to turn on. I searched the internet. It said
- I need to charge it for a long time till the green led flashes up.
-Might be soft bricked
Whenever I try to turn it on it vibrates and then nothing happens. A blank screen comes up with no logo( Xperia or Sony).
I tried updating it JB but only in vain. now it only shows the blank screen.
What to do? I found no answers to this.

It might sound unrelated, but did you use the original wire and charger?

Yea i did tried with original ones and then when they gave nothing i tried with generic ones
Does this happen to someone else? Lately it's happening all the time to me. After leaving the phone overnight connected to the charger, in the morning I disconnect it and the green light remains on and it annoys the crap out of me. The only way to make it turn off after it gets stuck is rebooth the phone or wait a few minutes, connect the charger again and then disconnect it, and most of the time it finally fades out.
I'm on stock .96 with some mods installed (root, cwm, honami framework, new home, rest is stock), but it happened when I was fully stock as well.
I got the same bug.
Root and cwm installed

It's a kernel bug.
From what I observed the green led will stay if the charger is not disconnected after fully charged (100%). I've tried several times that to disconnect the charger immediately at 100% the green led never stays on.
So it's definitely a bug. It was also present in .200.
I hope Sony will adress it at some point with a final firmware update for our beloved XP S.
Yea, happens to me, stock, without modding

Hi, i can't seem to find someone with a xperia ZL with the same problem.. All i can see in the web are for xz.
When i was using my phone, (80% battery), i took some pictures then it suddenly turned off. Now, i tried turning it on but nothing happens, no led blink no nothing.
I tried charging it and voila, the red notification light of death appeared. Mind you that I am using a newly installed OEM Sony Battery (used already for a month) on my phone as the previous one also died.
I was searching and all they say is that charge the phone then reset it.. tried that also, charged it all day then tried resetting, still no action.
Tried SUS, can't connect to phone, tried flashtool, also same thing.
Please help!

Hi
Its looking like hardware problem. If your phone is under warranty, please contact Xperia customer service and get your phone replaced
good luck
Open the sim door. You will see there a small yellow OFF button. Long press it and at the same time hold Power+Volume Up. The phone will vibrate 3 times.
So the combo is: OFF button+Power+Volume UP.
same problem
Battery prob, it happen to me twice and need battery replacement

I think if u never touch system like root or costum mod / kernel its Hardware problem the battery is died / Ic Power
But if you get root or flash another kernel without support the firmware maybe its Hard brick . Only shown RED LED when you plugged in charger. the solution is Need 30 minutes to charger it and you get the Green LED , so you can Flash Manually again using flashtool and STOCK FTF .283 [4.4.4]
Hi guys , i have an xperia zl and a week ago i updated it from android 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 i was using my phone as a hotspot in the past 4 months and always connecting my phone to the charger.
4 days ago i opened a game and the phone suddenly turned off , i turned it on and left it and 2 days ago i opened the same game and it turned off again so i decided to delete the game but yesterday the phone kept turning off every time i use it and when i try to turn it on it won't start unless i plug in the charger.
i tried to flash a new firmware using flashtool but it stuck on flashing data(see the attachment bellow )
i tried another computer but the same problem and SUS says that i have the latest firmware.
so i took it to a repair center (there is no Sony service center where i live) and the man said " it needs a new software but Sony's website is off right now and i have to wait 2 days until the website backs to work " :crying:
so what do i have to day ? how do i flash new software ?
Excuse me for my English
Thanks in advance
