Xperia Play SO-01D stuck in FlashMode no Fastboot no booting

Hello.
I've got an xperia play, which is carrier based, but unlocked, the owner says he tried to do an OTA update and now it is not booting.
When I press Power Button, it vibrate with green LED indication, then it blinks again in abt 1 second and nothing. It I keep pressing the Power button it constantly vibrates and flashes green LED - nothing on the screen.
When I connect to the computer again green LED is shown.
Flashtool states its in Flash Mode, whether I connect normally or with back button pressed.
However I am unable to get into fastboot mode, with any combination, if I press search button and connect the phone it shows nothing, and when I release the search button it connects in flash mode - according to flashtool.
any help?

Thanks for your reply, but I DID in fact flash the following:
Code:
Xperia_Play_2.3.3_UK_Generic.ftf
It completes flash (shall I provide the log) via Flashtool Version 0.9.11.0
But nothing happens - its the same

As I've mentioned it only blinks when I press and hold the power button. .. it then vibrates a single vibration - at this point if I release the power button as we would normally do. .. The power button blinks in a second a single wreak blink and that's it. Nothing more. If I keep the power button pressed it keeps on looping this vibration and led blinking till I release it. .. which again doors the same as I've mentioned before.
Riffbox jtag havent responded yet whether this model is recoverable or not... so still no fix... the phones bricked.

Your loader seems to be damage, try one last thing:
- Run S1tool, press RESTOR button,connect the phone in recovery (green led) and flash.
The software can be find in different thread in xda.

[Q] [HELP] Phone doesn't turn on

Hello,
I got a new Xperia Arc S LT18a yesterday, I turned it on, everything was fine. A few minutes after being connected to the WiFi
I get a message to update my software, I say yes it got out of the android UI and showed some update animation and in the middle
it turned the screen off and that's it.
I tried to start the phone but nothing works, tried all sorts of key combinations, tried hard reset, nothing works the phone will not turn on.
I tried hard reset: back + menu + power button. Phone did not turn on.
The battery is fully charged.
When I press and hold the buttons, e.g. volDown+power the led on the right-hand side (where you plug the usb) flash in green color every second.
I tried flashing some kernels, no effect.
When I go into Emma, the Sony root/boot tool, can't remember, it shows this: (view attached)
Can anyone explain what the problem is and how to fix it please?
Thanks,
Oded

If you have locked bl try this:
Use PC Companion->Check for updates->repair(you will see this in message box).
For unlocked bl, flash stock ROM via flashtool.

Has anyone gone through the process of writing a new SEMCBoot that can help?

First of all, was you phone's bootloader unlocked?
Second, did you run a customized software? (custom rom, kernel, etc.)

I don't know if the bootloader was locked/unlocked when I got it from the factory/store.
I did not use any custom kernel/rom, I just booted the device up when I opened the package, a few minutes later
after connecting to WiFi I saw message about software update, that's when I clicked yes and then things turned bad.
Do you happen to know how to fix this SEMCBoot?

Emma shows that ur bootloader is locked :-/

what is no verification?

your using flashtool right. to flash an ftf file. in the boxes where you choose what part of the ftf you want to flash. there are two un checked boxes one of them asking for verification of flashing

Please help me

Hello welcome.
Did you try it more than 1 time? (no I'm not mocking you)
Do you have any other USB-Cables to try out with?
Could you try another USB-Port on the computer?
Did you install the Flashtool drivers for your Device?
Maybe you should try out the newest Build 0.9.23.2

@matthias.smet
Welcome to XDA!
Try again with v0.9.18.6, it is more stable but however you should not use the computer for any other purposes when flashtool is preparing the bundles for flasfing.

Hello there.
Im having the exact same problem and am getting crazy searching for a solution.
What i have done so far:
reinstalled flashtool
downgraded to 0.9.23.0
downgraded to 0.9.18.6
redownloaded the .ftf
downloaded another .ftf
tried different packet sizes
tried every usb cable i could find
yes i also rebooted several times, both phone and laptop
right now the device is unusable as i managed to install Resurrection Remix but it failed the gApps (for which i tried everything to fix too) and wifi/data isnt functional , which makes it more or less a brick. And its not even my phone :crying:
at the time of writing i am again reinstalling 0.9.18.6. Hopes are small but who knows.
any other suggestions? every help is highly appreciated.
greetings, enaecore
EDIT: unexpectedly the reinstall of 0.9.18.6 finally worked for me! device is up and running again. i dont understand this, because 0.9.23.1 worked several times before i messed up with RR but well, im lucky i can hand back the phone in a working state, even if its crap stock its better than a custom brick. going back to my reliable bacon and maku now. praised be the pure android experience^^

And more info what i tried to do to fix it. I've changed cabel, reinstalled drivers, restarted pc (i cant restart phone cuz it will stuck at provider logo than i need to wait for battery to die),i tried with excluding kernel and not wiping data nor cache. I tried with 32 bit version and 64 bit version.

there is a reset button near the sim card on this device to restart
