need help xpeia S hard bricked

Hi everyone,
i just up the rom from cyamodgen 10 for my xperia S
in the step of logging to fast boot mode, i enter the wrong boot.img ( it is from the xperia U rom zip flle) and the xperia S got brick.
i think it is hard brick because i couldnt do anything for my phone.
how can i do now because i couldnt go into fast boot mode ot flash rom or other things.
please help me
thanks

Hard brick is hardware issue. I think u have software issue. Did u try power+volume up pressed till it vibrates three times? If u can do that, plug it to PC to fastboot mode again.

Hi,
i have tried volum + and power button but it didnt work.
i also tried to leavce the baterry died before flash rom. yesterday , when i plug it in charger, nothing happended but today the red led appears when i connect the phone to either charger or my computer.
when i using flashtool, at the power off phone and hold volum +, the phone still in red led but not turn into blue ?
i dont know how to fix my phone now.
i install ADB and other things fully you know.

I think you have to press the volume up+power button more than 3 sec! You need to wait for the phone to vibrate a couple times ( like 15 seconds i think) Then try to go in fastboot with computer!

i had the same issue a while back. My XS was in same condition because i let the battery drain till 0% bit was on a kernel that doesn't support offline charging. It appeared as though it can't shut itself down completely, so i couldn't enter fastboot. I somehow managed to enter cwm and was able to flash another kernel that i just so happened to have

thanks all

You need to completely turned off your xs (vibrate three times) to go to fastboot mode. If it vibrates 1 time, it only reboots itself.
When u manage to make it vibrate 3 times, plug it to your PC while vol button (up or down, I forgot ) pay close attention to the led.if it shows other color (blue or green), u can save ur phone. If it show blue/green first then back to red, means you don't have proper drivers in your PC. If it shows only red from the start, charge it back.. and pray.

hei, thanks to you guys. i have waken up my phone. so happy to say now. i have tried put the phone to wall charger until it "says" hei man, please flash me by fastboot mode. yes, i am so happy now that i want to share my experience with those who are having the soft brick problem/
just let the phone died after the problem happened/ it took me more than 12hours to let the battery drain off. (it depends on how much the pin your had before the soft brick)
when you can connect your phone to wall charger and the led is red. continue charge it until you see the red- orange light/ or blue if you can
then make sure you have the driver installed on your computer
use the volume up and power button until you see the blue light and quickly hold volume up and connect to your computer where the flashtool is already opened.
now it is time for you to flash the kernel, system.sin and wait., it tooks me 2hours for the flashing system.sin *more than 400mb"
well, now connect like usual to flash mode and enjoy your alive phone.
sorry for the long response but i am very appreciated yours helps.
thanks all and have a niceday

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.

brick after format data

Hello,
I think I bricked my phone
I wanted to upgrade from 4.4.2 to Lollipop http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/stock-14-6-1-236-customized-lollipop-5-t3264557
And before that I did a factory reset and format data (I got some issues on my phone and wanted to get rid of them).
Now I can not enter TWRP, I can not enter any thing. At the time beeing, after many restarts my red button is broken, I switch it off by "Power/Vol+". When I connect USB or push Power it starts and showing "SONY"-Logo, and that's it.
I can not enter flash-mode by swith off, hold Vol- and connect USB :crying:
What can I do to revive my Z1c?
Thanks for advices

Power off by holding power and volume up, just wait until it turns off. When it's totally shut off, just hold volume up while plugging in cable and don't let go of volume until you see blue led. Then you're in fastboot mode. If you have drivers installed, it's very easy to get into recovery from there. Report back.

If everything fails...
Install Flashtool on your PC, install the necessary drivers (flashtool helps you with that), download the current firmware in .ftf format and apply it with Flashtool to your phone.
No worries, we all were at your point sometime but you can always recover

Thanks for your hints, folks!
I'll try them tomorrow and give feedback than.

Happened to me once.. Accidentally wiped my data..
Only thing I managed to do is reinstall kk via flashtool
Xperia Z1 Compact .386 rooted

...nothing works.
I have almost everything installed: adb.exe (800kb from 25.07.2013), fastboot.exe (157kb from 25.07.2013), Flashtool (Version 0.9.14.0 built on 12-02-2014 22:45:00), Xperia Companion (Vers. 1.1.24.0), Z1 Compact drivers (device manager says: Sony sa0109 ADB Interface Driver Vers. 2.0.10.30018 from 13.05.2013).
Nothing can connect my Win10-PC via USB3.0 to my phone, it always starts (when I connect it to USB by holding wether Vol+ or Vol-) with red (...pink?) light for about 4sec, followed by showing "SONY" - end of anything.
I'm desperate :crying:

Do you get the green led light when connected in flash mode (vol down when connecting)?
Xperia Z1 Compact LP .386 rooted

No, only red light, than "SONY" without any vibration...
May it be, that usb-debugging was off, whenn I did format data?

I don't think it's related..
Maybe you don't have the right drivers on pc?
Xperia Z1 Compact LP .386 rooted

The fastboot or flashmode mode should always work - regardless of what you did regarding ROMs or setting or wipe etc.
It is there to save your phone if you messed up.
It is strange that you cant enter these modes. Normally its really a driver issue and you PC does not recognize your phone.
But it seems that you have tried installing them already.
Just to make sure... Your phone charges normally when you plug it in right? So it cant be a broken cable or broken micro-USB connection on your phone?
Also make sure your phone is really shut down - try resetting it with the red button next to your SIM-card slot.
Your volume buttons were fine before right?

BINGO!!! ...the usb-cable, it's a pretty new one, but I know, the Z1c doesn't like every cable
Now I can enter Flashtools flash and fastboot mode.
I think I lost almost everything on my Z1c, even my TWRP, don't I?
What is now for noobs like me the best way to install this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/stock-14-6-1-236-customized-lollipop-5-t3264557

Thank you all for your input!
It was the usb-cable which did load my Z1c and in this case (no other data on the phone) light the purple LED and display the "SONY"-logo - but nothing else!
All the future problems are more on the software-side (my head) than on the hardware (the cable)...

Haha glad you sorted it out. I don't know why but I also have USB cables in my collection that just won't work with my Z1C... But now you know
If you need further help in restoring with flashtool you can also look up this thread for some helpful links : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631291
Try to get your hands on a .108 firmware (I always keep one on my PC in case I f*** up ). They are easy to root with EasyRoot and from there you can flash dualrecovery. With TWRP you are good to access your backups or flash anything you want again.
