I was charging my Galaxy Nexus and the USB burnt out. I cannot connect or charge my phone any longer. I am rooted and want to send the phone back. I want to unroot it and lock the bootloader to save my warranty. I have tried to connect via Wifi to relock the bootloader but I cannot stay connected when I boot to recovery. I have also tried apps like "ginger unroot". I have found none that relock the bootloader. Please help!!!
You need fastboot, which only works via usb - sorry!
Sounds like you need this part. If you feel comfortable taking your phone apart you may be able to fix it yourself.

Hello guys.
My Sony Xperia S got Hard bricked after i tried to partition my SDcard from TWRP recovery which unfortunately failed due to some reason.....
I had boot manager installed for dual boot and i had sony stock firmware 6.1.A.2.55 on the native and CM10 on loop ...
The partition was tried in TWRP for loop in Ext4 format
My Xperia S now does not respond to fastboot buttons as well as all other combinations ...
It doesnt light any LED not even while its connected to the charger..
The only thing that happens is when i connect it using USB cable without any combinations and the computer detects it as SEMC flash device..
Is there any method to flash using this mode?
I have tried every method on all the forums.(flashtool,fastboot,taking battery out ,power+vol up,everything )
Guys please i need serios help any experienced suggesions would be helpful ...
Please help :crying:
PS: i had never thought that trying to partition the SDcard would brick my phone..
Did you leave your phone connected to wall charger? How many hours you leave it? Mine SONY logo appear in 8 hours. Try it. It may help. Leave your phone connected yo wall charger for sometime.

Okay ill try that for sure and let u know
Wow i don't know how ...but just as i connected it to the charger the orange LED shows up .....But there is no sony logo anyway ...lets wait
nope nothing happened except the LED that glows :crying:
How the duck did you take your battery out? It has an INBUILT one, why would you take apart the entire phone?
Then, after telling you how stupidly you did that;
can you go back into the recovery? (probably yes, but it's weird)
Did you ACTUALLY take apart the phone to take the battery out? (probably not)
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? (i think you do, but not sure...)
Do you still have warranty? (probably yes)
Try again, because if the orange LED showed up, it's probably not too late...
Now go and use FlashTool once more...

yes i took the phone apart took the battery out ...waited long enough for the capacitors to discharge and then again put it in...
no i can't get back into the recovery ...i can't even boot the phone and no combination is working
yes i have an unlocked bootloader
no on't have the warranty..
The orange LED glows up while charging only
the phone does not go to fastboot or any other mode so i can't use flash tool
the only thing that comes on the computer when i plug the USB is "SEMC flash device" ....which non of the tools recognise
Guys please ...is there anyone out there who can help me? :crying:
I do believe you DID have warranty up until the moment you took apart the phone (I think the repair service guys would fix your phone without chacking for a locked BL...)

They wont know you took it apart. There is no tamper protection.

Exactly they dont have any protection against that.....and i dont think any phones with an inbuilt battery would have such protection....

I'm starting to think that my case could be a corrupted bootloader, where I have to use JTag to try to save, but I don't know anyone who have a JTag, neither in my country.
I don't know what could be, but I still entering in flashmode or fastboot and my PC recognize my phone with testpoint, so I think that maybe is not a hardware problem...

Even i think i might have to do that ...u r stil very lucky to be able to get into fastboot and flashmode....i can't get into those too...
The only 1 option i haven't tried is using testpoints .....ill try that out after i get all the tools required
Hi, I decided to post it here because it seems that anything I post on Xperia Ion forum is not read, it is inactive.
I already searched everywhere and I'm loosing my hopes. I'm trying to revive an Xperia Ion and this is what I get:
When I plug the phone in the wall charger the red led turns on for some minutes and then turns off.
The same happens when I plug on PC, when the led turns off it is detected as "Somc flash device" in windows device manager and this shows in flashtool:
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Nothing changes if I plug in pc with volume + or - pressed, it don't goes into fastboot or flashmode.
I hope you could help me. Thanks

Hello,
My htc one x screen is completely broken. I want to recover my data on my pc. When I plug it into my pc through usb, the computer only recognizes it as CD drive and charges my phone. On devices and printers option in control pannel it appears as android phone and when I try to browse it, it gives two option, one is CD and other one is removable disk, but removable disk is like blocked. I have tried several ways from the internet, but nothing seems to work out. I have also contacted HTC they only advised me to download HTC Sync Manager, but this as well does not recognize my device. I have also tried to use Kies, from a troubleshooter I found that I need Bluetooth Peripheral Device, which I was unable to find over the internet.
The phone had the pattern lock before the screen was broken.
If anyone of you have any information about how to get my data back, please help me out. I will highly appreciate your effort.
Thank you.
**pardon me if there's something wrong I am doing in this thread, as this is my very first post.
1: Is it unlocked ?
2: custom rom ?
3: custom recovery ?

The phone had pattern lock when it broke down, so yes it is lock.
I do not understand what you meant by custom rom and recovery?
Did you unlock the bootloader and put on a custom recovery to flash different roms. Or is it full factory stock ?
I'm guessing it's not unlocked. Does the screen switch on at all so you can see the display? Or is it completely black when you try and switch it on?

yes it has a keypad lock. I am unable to see the screen, it is completely dark. I just can see the lights of the bottom keys when the phone is turned on or when I swipe my fingers continuously on the screen. It might be the digitizer and other screen layers that are broken completely from inside.
Do you have ADB debugging enable previously? If yes, you could use frame buffers to reflect the display on PC.

Unfortunately no, is there any way that I can do it to get my data recover. I've heard that in order to get the display on PC and then use it the device needs to be rooted. Since I am unable to connect through usb, I do not know if I am able to do adb thing.

Try switching your phone completely off then booting it up in recovery mode. Obviously you won't be able to see whats on the screen, but it might let you access your data on the SD card through your computer?
Are you still under warranty? If you're not rooted and havent enabled ADB debugging then that might be your best bet.

I am afraid that If I boot my phone in a recovery mode, it might give me the same thing, not a removable disk but CD drive.

I don't believe the stock recovery supports mounting your phone as a USB device...can someone comment on this?
That being the case, and if the screen is blank and non-responsive, your PC does not recognize the device and does not mount it properly...I really cannot see how it will be possible to recover your data.
Sorry mate, I think you're out of luck.

Hello Jami,
Luckily, I got all of my data recovered after following another android phone. Basically, what I did was I turned on my phone, and tried to make the same pattern unlock that I had in order to make the phone work, every time I make the pattern, I go to the USB drive to make it disk drive, as far as I remember, and hope for it to work. I actually followed the steps to get there from another android device. By several trial and errors, I guess I was able to make the pattern unlock or something just happened that my phone got visible to my PC. If this doesn't work for you, try calling HTC if you have IMEI number of your device, they are helpful. They will also suggest to actually download HTC sync manager, try doing this as well. Another option for you maybe if you have another person owning the same device as yours, try removing the back cover of both of the phones, and basically switch the display chip, I do not know what do you call this chip but this is at the top right corner of the cellphone that connects the display to the circuit. So, you can just plug another similar device's chip there and you will be able to see the display of your cell phone, and you can easily get your data back from there.
I hope you will get all your data back soon!
Best regards,
Namra
Hey Guys,
I was trying to bring Cyanogenmod to my SXS, but after unlocking the bootloader nothing is working well.
I was trying to flash the old .211 which worked, but after that everything works awkward on the phone, even if i flash the newest .96.
My problems are:
I cannot activate USB Debugging Mode (it switches off automatically when I press the "back" button after I checked it.
When I deactivate Wifi, the phone activates automatically Mobile Data connection (without asking if i want to enable), and when I want to disable Mobile Date Connection, Wifi turns on automatically.
I cannot enter the plane mode
Please help me, what can I do about it??
With best regards,
icecoldkilla

Did You try re flashing the ROM? It will sort out any issues. Or else try reverting back to stock and reflash the ROM.
Hello, I heard that to hard reset the phone, i need a flashtool. And to unlock bootloader i need to enable usb debugging, however i cant access my phone, because for some weird reason the pin code doesnt work. Can you help me reset the phone? its Xperia S
So im currently trying to repair it with pc companion, but when it says to connect the phone holding the down button, and when i do it, nothing happens, the computer doesnt recognise it. The flash mode stays for 5 seconds, the goes into charge mode. Looked in device manager, but theres nothing. Probably enabling usb debugging would work, but how am i supposed to enable it with phone locked. Maybe i need some drivers?
Try with the Sony Flash Tool from their site, u'll have to get the stock 4.1.2, but at least u'll be able to use your phone
