HElp me please soft brick :_( - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i have flash my phone with a miui firmware and everything was ok.
i have update the firmware for error and phone power off. the bootloader was open and i have a custom recovery.
now i cant go in recovery and flashmode and flashtool doesnt see it, when i press power and volume + the phone vibrate for 3-4 times and appears a light blue led and then it power off..
i connected the phone to the pc and i press volume+ and blue led appear, is it fast mode?
how can i do?
the users of this forum are the best
Sorry for my bad english
thanks :_(

That sounds like what happened to me recently. Basically, there are two modes the phone can go in when it's booting up and the USB is connected. One is fastboot mode, where you view the blue LED, which is what you are seeing. The other one, attained by pressing the other volume key, will get you into flash mode with a green LED and will allow you to use the flashtool to re-flash a stock firmware. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's only if your bootloader is unlocked, but you should be able to try anyway.

If there is activity in the flashtool when you connect then it doesn't matter about the led being lit.

Put it on charge for an hour and try again, and don't let go of the volume button until it starts flashing.

XPERIA ION Problem (Really need help)

Guys I need help. My SX Ion led is on red when I plug it on PC or in the wall but I can't turn it on. Every after 20 or 30 mins the Sony Logo pops out. But it only stops there, it will turn off again and show the Sony Logo again. Then after 1 min or 2, it goes back to that red led again. That's the cycle. I tried holding the Vol Down button while the Sony Logo is up but it won't enter the flash mode help guys.
Sorry for replying in my own thread, but guys. I REALLY NEED HELP, please.

open it up, disconnect battery cable from motherborard(easier than it sounds),connect usb cable to pc and to phone(yes with the battery cable still disconnected from the phone, the red light will start blinking) fire up flashtool and flash stock ftf. when the program prompts you to press power + vol up connect the battery cable to the motherborad while still holding vol + button. Phone should enter flashmode and ftf should flash.
It sounds scary i know, but it is easier than it sounds.

Good to hear that.

I've got bootloop while i was updating new rom.

I updated my Xperia Ion last night. Unfortunately, my phone was shut down by itself and then it've got bootloop but it s quite different from general bootloop because, when to Sony logo appear, it takes about 20 second and slowly disappear and reboot again about 6-7 times.
I've tried to carge it and i get the red led. However, it turns on automatically and everthing happen again. So, i tried to hard reset (3 vibrate) and do wall charging but it's still the same. After that, i've tried to use rubber band for flash mode while it was charging in red LED, but my laptop can't access my phone in flash mode and it's turned on by itself again. What should i do? Thank you in advance. :crying:

I got the blue LED after that Flashtool told me that i need the driver. After that, my laptop installed the driver automatically and then Flashtool informed that my device connected with not debugging mode and MTP mode. now, i see just black screen and nothing happen and i can't reset or hard reset.

it should be green led.blue led is fastboot mode i think. you need flashmode
and a little more details. what were you trying to update before your phone got into bootloop?got an unlocked B/L or locked?
One more thing. Go to flashtool folder>driver folder>drivers.exe(or something like that). Install drivers for your device first. then go to the bottom of the list. select flashmode and fastboot drivers and install those as well

you have CWM>???(CWM for locked Bl i guess)
Did you take a backup???
if not...check if ROM was meant for unlocked B/L. If not,wipe cache and dalvik cache..wipe data and try...
if yes, then u have only one option. Using flashmode(green led) use flashtools to flash stock firmware

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.

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..

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

[q] phone stuck in sony logo . Need help !!

I have xperia M which i think is bricked now. It gets stuck ay the sony logo and later a black screen appears with a white horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen and restarts all over again. it is rooted but the bootloader is still locked. while connected to pc it shows qhsusb_dload and detects only fastboot mode in flash tool. it still runs the stock jelly bean which i updated using pc companion. Earlier i installed xposed framework and went goofing around in build props, may be thats what caused it. Please someone help me fix this.

Okay I did some research about this "qhsusb_dload", it means Qualcomm High Speed USB Download Mode and it doesn't translate to a good condition at all
It usually happens because your phone's bootloader is corrupted:... meaning hard-bricked..some recover from it by miracles.
From what I've researched, try putting the phone connected to a charger and full charge it, then try attempting to turn it on, keep trying, and also try pressing the power button for 15secs if it still won't boot up properly.
If all fails, then I'm sorry, I can't help you on this.. send it to the service center..
I'm so sorry for your device usually goofing around a compatible xposed with only root won't bring the phone into a total hardbrick....
This happens most commonly, from what I've researched, if you drain your phone completely to 0% and try to boot it up again..

same happens with me but it is still in flashmode and lets me flash stock rom when i bricked it, wouldn't worry about it as long as the led was green it doesn't matter if it goes off after.
