I think your phone hard bricked !
In this situation if you couldn't reset your phone by holding power+volume up till it 3 times vibrate , try power+volume down when you connected to pc sometimes it reset your phone.
try power+volume up when you plugged in wall charger till 3 times vibrate ( in some situations it happens after 30 second you hold both.
If none on this reset your phone , its only way that you send it to repare service of sony to re write your bootloader by JTAG box. I had the same problem when I install an improper kernel and I search all of net and try all thing I found but after 2 week I can't solve the problem and only way to back your phone to work is, re writing your bootloader by JTAG box

Anybody can help? maybe trim area problem??

that happened to me once. I removed the battery, connected the wall charger, and then put the battery back. It was the last thing I tried and it worked.
(Yes, I had to open the phone, so I don't have warranty)

Bricked Xperia Play R800i - please help

My Xperia Play won't turn on.
When I press the power button, it vibrates like it's turning on but nothing comes on the screen.
The phone charges ok - shows a red LED when charging and green when full.
If I plug it into the PC it detects something but PC Companion doesn't recognise it as an Xperia Play - it just says Phone detected, then gives list of things to do on the phone's screen (pull down status bar and click connect) but I can't do this as the phone doesn't show anything on the screen.
I've tried loading flashtool to re-flash an FTF file, but it won't work unless USB debugging is turned on - again, I can't do because the phone doesn't boot up or show anything on the screen.
Can anyone think of anything that I can do to try and get it working again?

To flash stock ftf, you must turn off phone, select ftf from flashtool, and when flashtool ask you to, press back on phone and while keeping it pressed, plug usb cable
It also can be hardware problem, most probably flex cable (most vurnerable peace in Play)

I replaced the fed cable as that's what I thought at first. Still same problem though.
Flashtools says phone is connected but debugging off so won't work.

If flashtool report that debugging is of that only means you are not in flash mode.
Can you enter fastboot mode? (press and hold search then plug usb)
If flashtool again report debugging is off, then that means you can't enter in fastboot mode either.
-Your keyboard don't work
-Flex cable from keyboard don't work
-Slider flex cable don't work. If you replaced it, do it again. If someone else replace it, claim your warranty and let him reopen and recheck flex slider cable
-Again, as your screen don't work, it means either screen is broken, or (guess what?) flex cable is faulty

EMERGENCY Brick!

hi,
any help is hugely appreciated.
I wiped my phone in recovery with the option to wipe for new custom rom, this worked fine. when i went to install custom rom it failed and then turned itself off. now the phone just gets stuck at the Sony logo. the only way i can turn it off is via the red button in the sim slot.
I am unable to connect to the computer at all, no fastboot. I'm also unable to boot into recovery to restore.
Please help. Hope i haven't ****ed it up beyond fixing
Thanks

Flash a stock ftf with flashtool (in flashmode). You should definitely get into flashmode and fastboot, otherwise there is a problem with your computer.

Funny, I didn't even know there was a red button Holding Volume Up + Power for a few seconds always worked for me, no matter in which state the phone was.

Hi all,
I've exactely the same problem !!!
My phone stuck to Sony logo, and not reconyze on my 3 PC.... before that, usb connexion work fine on all PC, but now.... nothing
I've just POWER + and VOL+ (its power off the phone), i've no led color light
I've try flashboot, but not detect my phone
i've try to install :
flashtool-0.9.16.1-windows (not detected)
Flashtool-drivers-1.5-20140318 (my computer doesnt not see my phone)
Xperia_Z1_Compact_driver (my computer doesnt not see my phone too)
I can't go into Flashmode...
When i power off my Z1c, and i plug usb + (vol+) nothing appear...stuck Sony logo...
I'm lost... I need your help XDA members ! just U can help me
PS : the red button is in the SIM slot, but i think is same POWER + (VOL+).... its power off the phone

Because you're doing it wrong. Vol+ enters fastboot mode, you have to press Vol- to enter flashmode. Then use Flashtool to restore the firmware.

Unable to enter download mode

So i discovered a strange thing from my G3 while trying to upgrade to 10E. My phone is unable to enter download mode to flash the update. I have done the procedure a in the flashing thread:
-turn off phone
-unplug USB
-hold down volume up
-plug USB
i can head windows play the device connected sound then proceed with the phone just displaying the normal charging display.
also, adb reboot download does not work, adb reboot recovery does.

I had same issue, just make sure that you plug in the USB cable fast after you hold the volume up and also make sure you continue to hold the volume up.

I tried a thousand times but every time it just start up mobile phone instead of going to Download Mode.

Remove the battery for a few seconds and be sure to plug into usb 2 and not into usb 3 port on your pc

I tried that too. Removed battery for seconds and connected to USB 2.0 but same issue. I wonder it connects to PC and LG Pc Suite without any problems. I'm sure all rivers are already installed but wonder why it can't enter download mode.
I lost LG original USB cable and use other cables ( I tried many ).
What's wrong then?!!! I even tried Windows XP and 8.1 but both same issue!

I'm having the same issue only I think it's because I really bricked my phone, not able to boot up or anything.

My gives me an error saying fast boot and a couple of commands with a black screen, Unable to get to download mode

Question Oneplus 9 pro bricked, impossible to get to EDL

Hey all,
So i've unlocked by bootloader, flashed a custom recovery to then proceed with LineageOS flashing. However it went completely wrong as on reboot i'm stuck with the bootloader unlocked warning and then a blackscreen.
I still have access to fastboot mode however it's impossible to flash a customer recovery ("No Such Partition") and also impossible to directly "fastboot boot recovery.img" as the phone simply reboots on the warning and then blackscreen.
The only solution seems to get the device to qualcomm EDL mode and reflash all with the MSM tool (which I have as well as all the drivers) however I cannot get my Oneplus 9 pro to EDL mode...
I've tried all the fastboot commands (fastboot oem EDL, fastboot reboot EDL, none of them work) as well as the combination volume UP + volume DOWN + plugging the cable (it just boots the fastboot mode.
Honestly would greatly appreciate any help as it is the first time in a decade I hard bricked a phone like this as it seems all the partitions are broken.

Make sure you have it unplugged when you do the button combos, as it will just start to boot while it's plugged in. Also, if you can reach fastboot, you can almost definitely reach EDL. Try unplugging and holding power+vol up for a bit which forces it to completely power off. Then try getting into EDL through the normal button combo/plugging. This is what I had to do since once it got into the booting/no-booting cycle I couldn't get to EDL.

1] Make sure you have it connected directly to your computer via USB port rather than via a USB Hub, I've seen that cause the device not to show up in the device manager.
2] You might have to restart your computer with driver signing disabled, check here for instructions for that
3] I've uploaded the Qualcomm drivers here
4] Make sure you use POWER + VOL DOWN + VOL UP and watch your device manager to see if the device is there
5] Make sure you choose the correct MSM tool from here for your region/provider
6] Remember to use MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe, choose "User type : Others" and choose the correct device/region under the top "Target" dropdown.
7] If you don't see any COM device showing connected then try changing USB port or rebooting the device back into EDL mode.

Good advice above.
Last time I couldn't reach EDL with my previous phone, it turned out to be an issue with the drivers I had installed. I uninstalled all Android-related drivers including some generic thing that showed up in device manager when plugging in the phone, then reinstalled the latest Qualcomm drivers.
Also possibly try a different USB cable if you have one. My OP9P didn't show up when the cable it came with was plugged into my USB-C port for some reason, but it worked fine with a generic Type-A to C cable I had sitting around.

Thanks a lot for the different guidelines !
i'm 100% sure the drivers are working. I have another oneplus 9 pro that is detected when booted on EDL mode on the PC. The faulty one however cannot reach it. Also it cannot get any charge as whenever I plug it on it just goes on a boot loop. Tried to leave it to charge for a full night but still shows the "out of battery logo" with the red cable.
When plugged to the PC while pressing VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN I keep getting the windows sound of device plugged/unpluged, etc etc...
To be honest I think the flashing messed up the partitions as it is now hard to do anything with this device...

Can you help me too, I have exactly the same problem…

If you use Windows, you need to see "QDLOADER 9008" in Device Manager > Portable Devices.
When you got this it will work, 100% .
It worked for me a few days ago. My laptop runs on Windows 11 x64. And only have usb 3.0. NO usb 2.0.

was having the hardest time as well, it's not that the device wasn't going to EDL mode, it was but it had the wrong driver installed, thus making MSM tool not detect it in time, it is a very small window that you have where the device goes into EDL mode and the MSM tool detects it, makes a handshake with it and starts the process, but if you have the wrong driver, MSM tool will not detect the device and the device will just turn back into fastboot mode, I'm attaching a picture of the device manager where the said driver is under "Ports" ( COM & LTP ) make sure you download the above mentioned drivers, if there is any other driver under Ports, uninstall it and whenever you plug in your phone with the VOL + VOL - combo, you will see the device appear under PORTS, upgrade the currently installed driver for the one called qcmdm.inf which you'll find after you extract the .cab file that you downloaded previously, after that open MSM Tool and hit start, the port number should match the one on the device manager, now unplug the cable from your phone, power it off and do the button combination and then plug in the cable, MSM should instantly recognize the device and start the restoration.

Yeah make sure it's exactly the same name of that driver - worked for me on oneplus 9

If you have access to fastboot still. Try switching slots. Then going into EDL

Thanks a lot man. Saved my Day. First 9Pro successfully restored ;-) Thank you and merry Christmas to all.

Guys I do not need to use the MSM Tool Anywhere until I reach the step where my device is being successfully detected as "QDLOADER 9008" in my windows device manager correct?
Or does the MSM Application need to be running when I reboot to EDL mode?
I am following this guide.
Please help

I always have phone powered off, and while holding both volume keys I plug it into USB cord(that is already plugged to pc) and then click on enum(button in msm screen) until it says connected then hurry and click start. Once it starts I can let go of volume keys.. Also more than likely u will need to click the box to "use lite firehose" or "Sahara communicaion" will keep failing.

make sure you have oneplus 9 pro drivers and " qaulcomm incorporated - Ports" Driver) and ("qaulcomm communications inc-Net" Driver) so your phone in edl which will be already most likely be running before you plug it in. just hold down both volume buttons and plug in to the usb port to your pc and release once plugged in and start the msm tool and hit enum it should say connect provided that you have all the necessary drivers above so the pc usb port will be able to communicate/recognize you device. its never usually A 1 and done type of thing. everytime i brick my phone its always the 100th try before i get a com port connected and the software communicating successfully, so just be patient and take your time. you will get it back up and running,

Hey, I wanted to ask in here instead of starting a new thread.
Right now I have an OP9p that wont boot to EDL (Only fastboot or Corrupt page)
I tried the fastboot commands but it won't work and it won't shut down, I have fixed multiple phones using MSM and know all the small issues and how to get around them but it's the first time finding a device that won't shut down and will keep rebooting tried volume up + Power for several seconds tried holding only power or the three.
Nothing it keeps rebooting and won't shut down for me to get into EDL.
Any ideas?

Well you have a corrupted boot.img or you would not be trying to edl. Also you probably are holding down multiple buttons to power off to your phone and your either not remembering or forgot that these combination of buttons are booting you into other modes fastboot, recovery or system.
