[Q] Xperia Ion not turning on

I tried to apply that kernel to root the phone and after it rebooted it was just showing sony, turning off then showed sony again, it was doing that over and over again, and hard shutdown pressing pwr+down vol for 10 seconds and it turned off
now i cannot even turn back on the phone or start in fastboot or flash to fix it.
Do you think it bricked the phone? is there any other way to make it work again?
i followed this guide that worked for me the first time but now it did not work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963961
I used this kernel Stock_Kernel_6.1.E.3.7_Root.elf - 11 MB in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047456
If you know any other way to make it work let me know please, i got this phone like a week ago brand new unlocked non AT&T

Charge the phone in a wall charger for a few hours then try the guide again

I did that and now i get a red light in the indicator light

There are two things you might need to know
[[a]] IF YOU ARE NOT GETTING RESPONSE FOR HARD RESET(3 vibration) AND SOFT RESET(1 vibration) by pressing { Power + VOL.UP}
SIMPLY PLUG YOUR PHONE TO WALL CHARGER
UNTILL YOU GET CONSTANT RED/ORANGE LED. Mine took 20 hrs to get red led from NO LED(Off) to RED LED BLINKING.
[] {BLINKING RED LED WON'T BE A PROBLEM} JUST GIVE IT MORE TIME, Can Take Few Minutes and utop hrs to GET CONSTANT RED LED,
Main target is either getting Boot Loop OR getting Hard /Soft reset into WORK, if you still haven't got it, Charge it for 10 minutes in wall charger AND.
[ Setup the Flashtool with FTF of Your NXT Phone and when it asks for Phone] (((( Just Plug In Your Phone Into PC for 5-15 minutes )))
If You Got Boot Loop Means You're One Step Close
1) Try Power+VOL.UP for Single Vibration (Soft RESET) If you get Single Vibration then quickly Press the Volume UP Button, while keeping it pressed Connect the USB to PC.
If Dont get Blue Light then again do SOFT RESET and Try.
try it with Usb already Connected too Keep usb Plugged in and Soft reset the phone and quickly press Volume.UP button keep it pressed till you get Blue Light If turned out to be red try again .
Keep it in mind that if you got boot loop or you can reset the phone you are only One Step close
Now Blue led / fastboot mode gives you an option to flash kernel.sin and system.sin separately so extract it from ftf file using 7-zip.
and start Flashtool Click Thunder icon --> select Fastboot --> select kernel to flash ---> (select kernel.sin which you extracted from ftf) --> NO flash it and then -----> Select System to Flash ---> (Select the System.sin from extracted location)
2) If you Don't get any response from your phone Just Keep it in Wall charger for another cycle to complete It may take 10-24hrs If you don't get success even after that try for another 10-15hrs to get Green LED like Our frnd Spectre Style (Keeps on Charging for 2 days to get GREEEN)
Don't think that if you dont have 50% then you can't
When i Flashed i had only 2-3 % battery And when Phone turned On it showed 0% and instantly Switched off. and guess what i had put it on charging for 2 days. So It Doesn't matter Just make sure you do 10 minutes of charging for the further flashing thats all.
I was modding the kernel i messed up with kernel itself, wrong RPM.bin/symlinks (long story), Did Hard Reset and phewww Phone was Completely UNRESPONSIVE, and by my procedure got it successfully recovered . Don't freak out you'll eventually do it...
This NXT series needs charge charge and charge (battery charge OR will eat up your minds charge) But still Love it
btw What is Your Situation, Tell me frankly what was it you messed with
My reply is Sooo Big but yes can make it your phone alive, So Put Phone on Charger if you have it right now , and read from top to bottom and decide in which situation your phone is right now. Make a note of what happened when what you did, as this will help ppl when you share it.

Well the phone was not being recognized by the computer
After the Bootloop it does that like 5 or 7 times then it stays there like if it were on but the screen is black ( you still can see that the screen is on but in black)
Now Windows was asking me to install a driver called qhsusb_dload i was searching the drivers for it and i found one that comes with an application called s1tool.7z
I did a forced install and i selected the driver in the list called Zeus Flash Device that was what was installed in a tutorial i was trying.
Now Flashtool detects that there is a device connected but i still cannot get flash or fastboot mode
maybe you guys have an idea once it ask for that driver qhsusb_dload
FYI bootloader was unlocked
Flashtool shows this message now
28/016/2012 10:16:26 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
28/016/2012 10:16:26 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode but cannot flash yet

Download sony update service ie SUS.

U'll need a working net connection for it.
Let it download for the 1st time.
Then jst select ur phone and follow the process.
When prompted connect ur phone while pressing ONLY volume DOWN key.

It should surely work.
And if ur phone drivers are nt recognised jst install pc companion.
Also ur download might get interrupted in between due to shut down of ur cell.
Dnt panic.
Jst remove ur phone from computer WITHOUT closing ur sus window and charge in wall socket till u get orange led light.
Thn again plug in usb pressing vol down.
Thn press retry in sus.
Download will resume..
U might need to do it 5-6 times as battery wont charge more than 5%.

Thanks now i am just waiting for the phone to shutdown because screen looks like it still on after that i will do the wall charge to start doing what you said.

Shut down ur phone by pressing volume up + power off..
It will giv one vibration after 3 sec.
Leave the keys.
After about 10 seconds again press both the keys.
Wait for about 8 seconds.
U'll get 3 vibration.
It means ur cell is off now..
Wait fr about 30 secs for the capacitor to get discharged.
After that do wat I said in my above post

well that did not work, when i connect the phone to the PC when the application ask me to plug it led goes red but the application does not detect the phone.
Sometimes shows a MTP USB install driver but that is it, i have the drivers installed from the Flashtool all of them and also the one for PC companion.
The red light stays on, after a while the phone boots automatically then it shows Sony and restarts and does it again..
any other suggestion?
I have tried pressing quickly the down vol button while it is doing that to see if i get flash mode but nothing...
If nothing works do you know where i need to send the phone to have it fixed? or if you have any other ideas let me know.
Thanks

Try using this thread.
You will recover your phone, so be patient and stay calm. Lots of help there.

Has happened once with me...its mostly a corrupt or incompatible kernel
Use flashtool to flash the stock kernel using fastboot mode..(be patient)
Then flash the stock fw using flash mode

Thanks man, i was able to fix it
What i had to do is after the bootlooping i had to press power +vol up as you said until first vibration
after that i had to be very quickly, i had to connect phone to the computer and press vol up or vol down depending if i wanted fastboot or flashmode.
The trick was to do that very fast, if you are one second late you will got get it.
Thanks all for all your support!

Good to hear it..
Unless u dont mess up with ur bootloader u can always follow tis process and get back ur cell.

Hi, i think i hame the same problem. I already searched everywhere and I'm loosing my hopes. I'm trying to revive a 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

Is your phone recognized by PC when connect ? If yes, flashing Stock Rom by flash tool might solve that.

Thank you, my phone has no blinking red light, but when I plugged it to my PC to start trying some tricks, the led went off. And I think is dead again, should I wait until red led comes back? Also, Flashtool sees my device as MTP or something like that and when I try to soft reset it, Flashtool says Disconnected and then connected, so hopes are high. (No Screen at this time, still black, no boot logo or battery icon)

Did ur phone have enough charge? If may have to charge it properly before it can boot properly.

[HELP] bricked XPERIA S by silly mistake

Hello friends,
I am new (and dumb too) to XDA and all the root and all these things.
I just rooted and unlocked bootloader of my Xperia S.
and flashed the Jelly bean AOSP ROM as in following thread.
[ROM]JB AOSP 4.2.1 alpha 2
I was playing in recovery mode and I don't which option I choose but I think something like "Wipe Partitions" or "Format partitions"
After that I rebooted phone but it just went dead.
I think the battery was low (~15%) when I messed up.
Now it's not responding to anything, no boot, no recovery mode, no fastboot, no flash mode,(vol + or vol - with power) :crying:
Only thing was that I put it on wall charger at 2:00 am (no LED), at morning 10::am RED LED was strong on, but still no fastboot and flash mod e while connecting to pc :crying:
Still I kept on charging whole day ( I saw some threads regarding XPERIA S UNBRICK )
now after ~8hours, connected to pc but still detection.
Also I want to mention that When LED was on while charging and the I connected to pc , IF LED went ON , then phone not detected by computer.
and after sometime the LED went off , then Device says it connected as in screen shot below, but no fastboot or flashmode.
Please help me. Sorry for bad representation.

Hi, the i'm not a phone wizz but it happen't to me a few days ago as well. Tried everything almost bought a new phone because i thought it was bricked....
Now it's alive and kickin'.
For me worked:
Mine randomly started up till the battery was empty, 2-3min and that was enough.
Download the Emma flashtool, it's from Sony itself.
Install the flashtool and start it..let it settle.
With the red light on when it starts try to get it in plug in the usb in the phone (it's already connected in the pc) while holding the volume button down, and when you're lucky the flashtool will recognize the phone and will collect the correct software/ROM/kernel. Just hit the install/repair button and that worked for me, it installed the correct software and it was alive again...
Wish you all the luck.

Thank you for your reply.
I did it but when connected phone with vol - , red LED was strong on , but device didn't detected by OS, nor Emma, nor with flashtool.
but after 1 minute the LED went off and at the same moment device detected in PC OS (as sound of new hardware detected sound of windows heard) and flashtool log was-

no response from Emma. Also no flashboot or fastboot :crying:

Have installed the fastboot drivers for your phone?
If you connect your phone with vol- or vol+ you shouldn't get a red light, it should be blue or green.
Try charge phone for a while then download a jellybean kernel (e.g. *.sin file), then adb push the kernel to the phone. Boot into recovery and refresh rom.
This will require adb and drivers both available in the flashpoint folder.

OK I will try. But the phone RED LED going on as a charging indicator only.
(Generally when phone shuts down at 0% battery and if we boot it up without charging, it turns on and turn off , after i fyou connect the charger, the instance the RED LED goes on but screen remains blank, After sometime the screen shows charging battery )
the same case is happening with me.
Should I remove battery, will it void its warranty?

So u can charge ur phone? It sounds like all u need to do is reinstall a kernel then a rom. No need to remove battery. If you connect urban phone to a usb,when off, and hold a volume key you should not get a red led. You get a red led when u don't have flashmode and/or fastboot.

Have you tried a 'hard' reset of the phone/power.
Phone may be in a loop with power still on or some other state.
Hold the power button -and- volume up button for a good 10 seconds.
You may feel the phone vibrate once then a few seconds later it vibrates three times in rapid succession.
This should indicate the phone is powered down.
If powered down, it may then be able to recharge itself and if you're lucky show a battery charging icon.
When recharged, I'd use SEUS to reload the stock firmware.
Good luck.

Make sure your phone is absolutely off
Put it to a cool place like refrigerator for a couple of hours
then flash a kernel so fast by fastboot.exe
If works you can full charge your device and you are lucky.

Maybe the kernel is not compatible with the rom. Have you tried to change the kernel with fastboot? I had the same probleb with an xpreria mini and sola but after 6-7 tries it worked on fastboot, and then with the cwm i flashed via sd card the new rom.

ok. I will try this and get back to you as soon as I can

If you look at the fxp change log, they've integrated the latest Sony kernel.

Hey guys I recently updated from FXP 320 to 323 and my device is Not TURNING ONN, It just gives a heptic feed back (vibrate) and sometime it doesnt even vibrate when I press and hold power button.. Just LED blicks 3 times in RED colour when I try to power onn device..
When I connect the charger the LED turns RED and it remains red even if I charger it for 3 hours or more. When I connect in FLASHBOOT or FASTBOOT MODE THE LED SHOWS RED and the pc doesnt detedt my device. What to do now? Is my device soft bricked or hard bricked? Is there any way to bring it back to life? Plz someone help me.

it really sound like a hard bricked to mee
if u can't enter fastboot or flashmode then there's nothing u can do
now the way is to take it to a sony service centre to repair it
you need to boot repair using flashing toolbox
i heard riff box will support xperia m from july.....
anyway best of luck:good:

he can't enter fastboot mode as well as flashmode
and when he connects led turns red all time
if phone is alright then led gets green when battery is full
his device is not fully dead but cannot be recovered by using a usb cable or a flashtool which can be said as a hard bricked
the only way is to repair boot using flashing toolbox which can be done only in sony repair centre..

u can try this and report..

first remove your battery from mobile for few minutes then insert again
then press and hold power on button for more than 10 seconds
then remove battery again from mobile and reinsert again and now try to connect to pc in flashboot mode
and flash full firmware wiping all cache and datas
if u can enter fastboot then u can access flashboot mode as well using volume down
try and report..

if led blinks green and off then you are in flashmode
so first make sure flashtool is running and your firmware is ready
press flash button in flashtool and flashtool will start preparing the files
when flashtool will say connect your device
then that time you hold volume down button and connect to pc
it will detect and start to flash
