Hello!
Few weeks ago me and my friend tried to change software in Sony Xperia S. We read and followed steps listed on this site: ww.android.gs/update-xperia-s-android-4-4-2-kitkat-os-with-pure-aosp-custom-rom-firmware
We rooted the phone and went to next step when it turned out that I can't even turn on my phone. I pressed power and volume down button and still nothing happened. There was only green light on for few seconds and then the phone was dead again.
Please, help because I'm just NOOB and I don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance,
Pawel

Hi,
I have rooted my phone previously and have been running Leedroid roms since 1.8. When I tried to upgrade to Leedroid 2.1a last night I must've done something wrong and bricked it. My phone is now stuck at the white background with the green HTC letters in the middle when I press the power button. When I try to press vol+power, or back+power, same thing happens. I can't even get to recovery now. I've also tried running the RUU file, but my computer can't even detect the phone via usb. Can anybody out there help me unbrick my phone? Any help would be much appreciated... Thank you...
Is your phone a branded phone or a factory unlocked one?
EDIT: You say you cannot even get into recovery? Surely you must be able to. Take the battery out, and then replace it. HOLD the volume down button and PRESS the power button. See if it goes into recovery.
Hi shawon007, thanks for you help.
It's a branded phone that's been rooted and running Leedroid 2.0.
Yes, I couldn't even get to HBOOT (tried both methods: holding vol+power, and also back+power). I gave up after awhile last night and went to sleep. This morning I tried it again, and managed to actually get to HBOOT and flash the rom. Now thinking back to last night, I think one of the reasons nothing would work might've been the heat.. My phone was pretty hot to the touch with all the backups, wipes, and flashes that I did. Curious why this never happened before tho..
Anyone please help me, i'm very nervous
Today my Gnex has just decided not to turn on anymore after a reboot.
Please note that it is not Flashing - related, because i've used this current rom (Xenon HD v8) for about a week or so. When the fault happened, i just rebooted my phone during a normal daily use, and right after downloading Google Maps and updating Instagram. These are the only changes i made before rebooting the device. And booooom, it stopped running out of the blue.
It does vibrate when i press and hold Power button (for a normal boot) or when i press the combination of Vol up + Vol down + Power to enter fastboot.
But that's it. After the short vibration, it stays black
It does feel warm on the back.
So, what happened to my phone?
Please explain this Sh!t, many thanks.
Maybe this can help you.

Shine a torch on the screen. If you can see anything then the backlight is gone...
I've been searching through the forums for a while now and I've not found a fault like mine unless I've just completely missed it but I have an xperia play now when I got it, I was told it was dead but when I connected the usb cable it lit up with the amber light and when I press the power button I get a short vibrate but nothing more. Nothing comes on screen and the sony PC companion keeps popping up telling me that my xperia play is connected and it continues to do so every 10 seconds or so until I disconnect it, the sound it makes when a usb device is connected and disconnected can get rather annoying after a while.
I tried reflashing it but that didn't work, I flashed it most recently with R800_4.0.2.A.0.79.ftf and before that with Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf but nothing seems to change it, at first I thought it could be hardware that was failing like the screen had died but that wouldn't explain it connecting and disconnecting from the laptop every 10 seconds or so and also in the past 2-3 weeks that I've been messing around with it, I've had the screen come on twice but I can't replicate what happened to make it work, it just seemed to come on randomly, I have however managed to kill it the same way each time by sliding the phone open and pressing the power button to lock screen, each time I pressed it with the phone slid up, it killed it back to no screen coming on and it connecting and disconnecting.
I can enter fastboot and tried to flash a kernel but it told me the phone needed to be rooted to do so and I can't find a guide telling me how to root it without having to change settings on the phone, which I can't do.
If anyone has had this problem before or can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Is it flashtool telling you that you need to be rooted? If so then your bootloader isn't unlocked.

Yeah flashtool is telling me that when I'm trying to flash a new kernel. I assumed that the bootloader needed to be unlocked to enter fastboot? or that's at least what I've read while searching for a solution. Can it be unlocked without having to do anything on the phone?
Hey, guys I need some help here. Please, I need it so bad.
I bought my Xperia Z1 Compact about a month ago, and today when I was updating my apps suddenly it turned off. Then, I turn it on again but it keeps restarting after it showed the Sony Logo. As same that it did when I tried to charge it plus the red LED blinking. So I decided to hard restart it using the PC Companion through the update software menu. After following the instructions, I turned on my phone and it keeps restarting after showing the Sony Logo. I did the hard restart using PC companion several times. But, it keeps restarting after showing the Sony Logo.
And now, when I press the power button, it only vibrate and not showing anything on the screen. When I tried to charge it, the red LED keeps blinking over.
I need your help, I don;t know what I must do now. So please, help me.

If you didn't unlock the bootloader and if you didn't root it, just take it back, as you still have a warranty... You'll get new one...
Use flashtool to download the official ROM for your model and if you want to, region. Follow its instructions to flash the ROM. To enter flash mode, hold power+vol up until it vibrates for 3 times to shut it off and when flashtool instructs you to turn it on, hold vol down and connect the USB cable.

Hello,
Plug your phone on electric plug and let him 30 mns charging. And try to start your phone
Hello guys!
Yesterday I wanted to root my phone following these instructions (sorry link can't be posted due to I'm just a newbie here) but post was on "dottech dot org".
I did everything that was necessary for preparing the phone, however I stucked at step 8.
I flashed the original .128 firmware to my phone, and when I powered it on, I was delighted. When I realized that it won't boot at all, I got an idea, simply to wait. I waited over 20 minutes, nothing happened, stuck on T-mobile logo. For the rest of the time I left it on charger, and unfortunately I am unable to power it off since it has built-in battery.... I tried to power off by long pressing power button, nothing happened. I tried again to flash it, but when it asks me to plug the phone to the usb in case to get in flashmode, it says battery has to charge, so it's discharged... I plug it to charger one more time, but as soon as it gets enough power, it tries to start itself, and I can't power it off...
It gets really hot at the back panel, and as it discharges, everything is happening again....
Please help me to get back my phone working!
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks
