I flashed a new ROM (Nova unofficial CM10) and let the battery drain till it went off, normally it starts charging again when I plug it in the wall charger, but this time nothing it seems :crying: the red led is on, but the battery doesn't get warm and it doesn't turn on normally. Sometimes it randomly boots till the unlock screen shows up from the ROM, but the screen isn't responding and then it turns of again. I tried to do something in the recovery, but since there are no other ROM files on the Phone I can't try any other kernel or ROM. USB storage doesn't seem to be working in this recovery... or it might be my windows 8.
Should I wait a few "hours"?? The red led is still on... so it's doing something right?
/help
:crying::crying:
Ok here is the solution It happend to me also ok dont worry just update ur phone using Sony official ics update called SUS and dont worry about that ur devise is not charging and neither connecting to pc just connet via USB follow the instruction from SUS. Its not the matter that ur USB is not working and it shows sometime connection and dis connecton and if even now it show nothing just remove ur battery for five min if ur phone has removable battery system

the bootloader is unlocked... pretty sure SUS won't be working, but I will try. And I don't have a removable battery system but I can forcefully shut it down.
edit:
it keeps showing up the red led, flashmode and fastboot don't work.
Ok then u have the only way just connect it via USB and update SUS its the only way for u. It wil download 40mb then install the soft it says to connect ur divise and it wil donload 225mb firmware tft after that it wil update ur devise

it will not connect to USB, it's too empty for that... it's either recovery or nothing at all. But USB storage isn't working.

I'm having the problem also
I let the phone run out of battery, and after that the phone only charges for a few minutes with red LED on. Then it boots, says that battery at 0% and then turn off
I have NOVA rom.
Any help?

it seems I fixed it! it took me a damn while, but it seems to be charging now.
what I did:
1: Download Advanced Stock Kernel 17 (fastboot version)
2: wait for it to turn off
3: charge Phone till it boots again
4: hold power + vol up till it vibrates 3 times
5: get the Phone in fastboot mode (plug-in the Phone and hold vol up)
6: fastboot the kernel
7: reboot and hook-up the charger and it should charge again :victory: (without booting)
my battery indicator is now yellow!! and the on-screen battery shows yellow as well.
ps: try using a normal charger and not the sony wall charger... it seems to be working better when the OS is not booted.

Okay I got it solved too!
Mine is as follow:
- Let it charge till the screen boots up.
- Power + volume up for 1 vibration, and then hold volume up for fastboot mode.
- Flash adv kernel 17 and then connect to charger. Let it charge for 30 mins.
- Reflash Nova kernel
Everything works perfectly after that
I think Nova kernel does not support offline charging @[email protected]

Would you mind reporting your steps and kernel problems in the recovery thread in my signature. You could help others who get similar issues.

Even I have the same problem,so you guys just flashed the Advanced kernel without touching the ROM right ??
Because its a ICS kernel and i'm running PA 2.57 which is based on CM10,I'm gonna try this out
EDIT :
This is what i did,my phone wouldn't reset(Soft or Hard reset) but i was able to get into recovery and would get around a minute when the phone powered on showing "Charging 0%"
1. Copied the CWM version of Advanced Kernel 17
2. Booted the phone in TWRP(Nova Kernel has TWRP instead of CWM)
3. Flashed the Advanced Kernel,Rebooted
4. I was now able to charge offline as well as the phone would reset(Hard and Soft both)
5. After 15mins booted in recovery and flashed Nova Kernel back
6. Rebooted into ROM and voila showed 40% charge

You can always flash a kernel, but it will probably reboot right away. TWRP didn't seem to work with windows 8... CWM does work fine, but then again I had TWRP so I wasn't able to copy the file to the Phone and flash it using the recovery. Recovery did work though but it didn't have enough juice to perform a sideload, so fastboot was the only option for me.
But it seems you figured everything out already :good:

Why go all the way round and get back to stock when flashing a different kernel does the trick for you
Tbh,flashing takes lots of time especially when you are hoping around different ROM's i didn't have that kinda patience so went with the shorter way to getting the phone up and running

I had the exact same issue with Nova Kernal.
As I was usng PAC ROM I flashed the FXP kernal that came with PAC ROM and it started charging again.
So I Think the issue is with Nova Kernal..
So basically I have the same issue. The battery of the phone was nearly empty and I decided to recharge it. Unfortunately it didn't charge.
What was the cause: I upgraded to 6.1.a.2.55 stock rom and I wanted to root it. It worked well and I could reinstall all the apps.
The current situation is: The battery is empty now but when I connect it to my computer's USB port it comes up every now and then I can get into the phone, I can access flashboot and also I'm able to get into fastboot. So I tried it with the solution given above but it is not working. I tried to flash the old 6.1.a.2.50 but the flashtool will not install it. Here is the log file:

can u press power+vol up and hold both of em till the phone vibrates three times? if yes.. open flashtool. select flashmode, pick your ftf, and when the flashtool told you to plug the device, plug it while holding volume down.. if it's recognized by the pc, it will show green led, and it will stay green after the flashtool finished flashing. if it's only show green then back to red, u need to install flashmode driver first.
if the phone cant vibrate three times, u need to charging your device first. some say in just couple minutes, some even says a whole day.
hope it'll help.
try to flash the advanced stock kernel (v17) using fastboot. No matter the software on the phone, it should go straight to offline charging.

Download FTF Generic .423 firmware found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332539 (for US) if anywhere else just check the Android Development section and search for your region. After that plug in phone, put the firmware in the firmware directory where Flashtools is installed normally C:/FlashTools/Firmware then drag/drop the FTF file there. Flash once again, good luck.

Did you download the proper drivers for your phone? As well not the 12mb generic one that comes with Flashtools, choose the one that is around 700mb. As well wipe data, cache, and so on.

Hmm, did you properly put your phone into flash mode? Also be careful in choosing the FTF file pick the right one for your region, then plug in your phone, after pick the firmware that is an actual ROM so it'll be over 700mb cause it includes everything. Unplug your phone once the firmware is prepared and press the OFF button in the back where the sim card and sdcard go in, wait till it vibrates 3 times and hold volume down, bam your phone should be in flash mode. Now begin the flashing process and do not touch your phone or unplug while flashing. Trust me, I was in your place not too long ago when I first got my Xperia keep trying and learning from the forums. Make sure you note any mistakes.
As well be sure you have the latest flash tools located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335555

Make sure your flashing properly send us your log when you try again, the off button on the back must be pushed in with a tiny object it should vibrate once after 3 seconds and 3 times after 5 seconds. As well if your phone sits dead after pushing that button then there's hardware damage, unless flash tools recognizes it also make sure you have all the drivers for your ZL in all modes. Drivers are located in C:/flashtools/drivers install SOE-blahblah, adb, and fastboot(these are mainly at the bottom of the list)

Now that those 3 drivers are all installed flashtools should recognize your Xperia in flash mode, try using the OFF button for 5 seconds and then hold volume down with the USB cable plugged in the phone and computer. Continue with normal flashing, choose the generic firmware that shows system, kernel, etc in the FTF you should see a ton of .sin packages which is your phones firmware. Flash your phone and just be patient, once done Flashtools will say "flash completed please disconnect your phone" once you do that your phone should boot.
Just an observation or a tip.....open on back the sim/sd tray and should be a "off" button there....click on it and try again put him in flash mode,try this a few times until pc recognizes.
So, i already flash the ROM for about 12 times... And repair and update via SUS and PC Companion for about 7 times... Still no sign of life... But my xperia now only show red LED blinking 3 times... If i charge it, it's stuck on bootstall...
NOTE
Tiny off button on near the sim card is not working anymore

So, is hardware damage is related to "can't turn on the device and only shows blinking red LED, also if i charge it, it stuck on bootstall?"
If yes, can i return it ? Even if i already unlock and relock the bootloader?
As previous mention phone (sony) covered for a year, so you can send in to get a new one (refurbished most case).
I recently pickup a new way to flash phone back to stock, so if you want give it a last shot:
1. Phone Off (make sure phone batery is at least more than 10%, otherwise don't have enough power for flashing process, ignore the 50% req'd).
2. Run your PCC, hit support and then repair - follow the steps, it should ran by itshelf.
3. PCC will ask you to hold vol.down+plugin usb.. do it. It should say downloading ... and when done, your phone now should be back to stock.
Good luck - hope it works for you.

my xperia play r800i wont boot, it show signs of charging e.g blinking red light, red light, amber light, green light but wont boot, when i remove the battery and re insert it it will vibrate and then nothing, not even the backlight turns on just a black screen, i cannot get it to go into fastboot mode strangely so i am unable to unlock the bootloader and therefore unable to flash it back to stock, if some-one could point me to a video guide on how to get it to go to fastboot mode. with the pc companion tool it first saw it as "null" device but after updating it to latest firmware through it it reconises it as an r800 xperia play yet i am unable to browse files at all on it. i have also re updated it through update service but again nothing. this phone is out of warranty so that isn't an option. if anyone could help it would be awesome.

just to be clear to put it into fast boot mode i have attempeted the following
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, hold search and power simltaniously, nothing
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, press power until vibration while holding search, nothing
remove battery, hold search, reinsert battery still holding search, hold power button while still holding search, nothing
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, hold search, insert usb, begins charging... no blue light
it shows no sign of charging after i "turn it on" the light goes out but i know that the front plate, i.e screen,menu buttons is not completely unresponsive as if i hold the return button when i insert the usb it recognizes it different as i was trying to flash it earlyer and it is required in the updating process, please help
it seems if i leave it plugged in via usb it will randomly disconnect and reconnect from the computer and yes pc companion will say that the device is detected every time. its almost as if it is stuck in an invisible and very fast bootloop as it disconnects and reconnects at about 5 second intervals, this only happens after it has been "turned on"
it also appears that the battery drains very rapidly as after only a few minuets of removing battery holding power ect. it will no longer "turn on" and no light will turn on through a usb socket but when plugged into the wall after a short pause it shows the amber charging light. could this be a battery problem? con the xperia play normally boot off wall power without a battery? if so then it is the devices problem as mine cannot but if it cant normally then maybe its the battery, i have a new one ordered and will arive soon and i will keep you posted.

if its not clear it is acting extremely erratically with no clear logic but a few things are constant. no boot. no fastboot mode, charging light, pc companion recognizes it. have tried to be as detailed as possible so that someone may be able to pinpoint my problem.

I've got the exact same issue, but i know how you could get into flashmode or fastboot mode.
Pull the battery out and insert the usb cable (when connected to the Pc of course) and put the usb cable in the phone while holding either back or the search button. Nownit should be in the sepected mode

Does your flashmode stop after a little bit of time? It does on mine, that's really strange

Try to get into fastboot mode with that method i told you above. Then try to unlock your bootloader.
Pull battery out -> insert usb cable first in computer -> connect it to the Play while holding the search button -> put the battery in while still holding the search button -> then you can release the button and you should be in fastboot mode.
That's at least how it worked for me. I then flashed new software. Mine can boot to the kernel where it then shows an image and shuts down. No matter what kernel/rom I am trying.

Can you disassemble the phone? If yes disassemble the phone and remove battery connector and connect it again. As soon as you connect it, enter flash mode and flash stock ftf using flashtool.

Try this. Remove battery connector while your ready to enter flash mode. Again reconnect battery connector and soon enter flash mode and flash stock ftf.
Or once you are in fastboot mode, flash stock kernel and system separately.
Dont lost you hope,
Try with another usb port with another usb cable.

Flashing a kernel with bootloader locked was a silly thing to do. From what I can see, you are using another devices kernel, or the kernel itself is corrupt. Flashtool couldn't flash the ftf because you were in fastboot, not flashmode (volume button down I think. Flash mode has green led) What I can recommend is that if you're able to enter fastboot mode again, get the stock kernel and flash it. If you can enter flashmode, just flash the whole ftf.

The stock kernel or a derivative of it should be available in the development section. Or try to extract the kernel.elf from the ftf. A tutorial for flashing a kernel is available in the general section I presume.

Could anyone please help me recovery my hard bricked Xperia XA1 G3112. because I flashed boot image but it went bad
Bootloader is unlocked.
USB Debuggung is on.
The phone can't go to fastboot neither flash mode. no vibration. no blue LED. no green LED.
When connecting the phone to the computer steady red LED go on with sound from the computer detecting a device then disconnect sound every 30 second then reconnected and so on...
on device manager it shows: USB Serial Device COM3.
on flash tool it shows: Device connected with USB debugging off , For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode.
I removed the back cover disconnected the battery then reconnected it then tried to go to fastboot/falsh mode but it didn't go.
I really appreciate any suggestions/help
Please anyone help is the phone completely dead or there's any chance to recover it. only if I could put it in flash mode or fastboot mode will be great
Good evening, I'm living the same thing. In my case, it's the XA1 G3123, but the problem it's the same. The only thing I could see was the red led...
I've tried Emma, Flashtool, Xperia Companion, and none of them recognized the device. Do you know if Is there any software that see a device aparently dead?

It's sad that this forum has 4 billion members and no one could help ? I wished that if someone on this forum could confirm that the phone is completely dead or what?
Anyway. I bought a new iPhone and that android junk is still in the drawer ?
First, make sure you have the drivers (flashtool and fastboot) installed.
Then download the ROM corresponding to your XA1, it can be by Flashtool or Xperifirm.
Also have at least 20% battery.
With all of this, with XA1 turned off, open Flashtool,
click the lightning button,
choose Flashmode,
select the downloaded ROM (ftf),
click Flash,
as soon as Flashtool prompts you connect to the PC by pressing the volume button at the same time
(can not remember if it is volume - or volume +, the important thing is that the notification light turns green)
and wait for the process to finish.
It works most of the time.

Thanks for the instruction. I did this . but it didn't work, when I press flash a window pops up showing animated "press volume downd and connect your phone to the PC but when I do that nothing happens. the LED light stays red when connection the USB cable. it does not go to flash mode.
I had also tried volume up but that didn't works either.
the phone seems not able to go to flash mode neither fastboot mode.
I also tried removing the battery, press volume down , connect the usb cable then connect the battery back but didn't works.
I tried pressing both volume up and down then connect the usb cable with the battery connected and disconnected but that didn't work either.
I have tried so many combinations buttons with battery in and out. but didn't work.
there's always steady red LED on when connecting the usb cable to pc or to the charger.
I checked all drivers installed correctly. but the problem is the phone does not go to fastboot neither flash mode.
I also don't know more what to do, because none of the buttons or its combinations result in something beyond the same red led. I've installed the usb vcom preload drivers, MTK 67xx drivers and I also tried to desconect the battery and once again changes nothing.
The only thing that happens is the device connecting and disconnecting every 30 seconds in the hardware manager, and no programms or flashers like Flash Tool recognize the smartphone.
If anyone could give any ideas would be helpful, considering my knowledge in cell phones hardware is very low.

hld power and vol up, device vibration once, keep holding, release buttons when vibrated three times
phone shut down, no more led
plug usb in pc, not mobile, hold volume down and plug in mobile too after you launched emma
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/
emma will detect your device in flashmode and offer you a rom to download and flash, problem solved
maybe not the latest rom for your country but the most common for the device to unbrick

Hi,
No, it's not a battery problem, don't change it, that's not the solution... I have the same problem with my XA1 G3121, and I buy a new battery the last week, but nothing change, my phone is always blocked ... the red light stay red when i connect the phone to the PC (or when I connect it to the charger), and directly off when i disconnect it, but the problem stay the same,I can't change the red light in green or blue...
Sorry for my poor English, I'm french and I know sometimes it's difficult to understand my english...
I will see if I can test the Test point because it's the last than I don't test to ressucite my XA1.
If you find a solution to ressucite it, please write me how you do please...

First, make sure you have the drivers (flashtool and fastboot) installed.
Then download the ROM corresponding to your XA1, it can be by Flashtool or Xperifirm.
Also have at least 20% battery.
With all of this, with XA1 turned off, open Flashtool,
click the lightning button,
choose Flashmode,
select the downloaded ROM (ftf),
click Flash,
as soon as Flashtool prompts you connect to the PC by pressing the volume button at the same time
(can not remember if it is volume - or volume +, the important thing is that the notification light turns green)
and wait for the process to finish.
It works most of the time.

I know this is a old thread but people you must understand, what happened is that your Sony phone disconnected while flashing the boot.img (so now the phone has no software at all! ) No rom is easy fix, but no bootloader (boot.img) you are sol
These phones have a tendency to do this if you chose the wrong settings before flashing.
So basically you have a lifeless brick (the phone doesn't know it's a phone) that's why it doesn't do nothing but have a red light, the only FIX is JTAG jtagging the device or to swapp the motherboard i have a xa1 ultra from 2018 i bricked, 4 years later i bought a motherboard and swapped it and voila back up and running.
So please flash and root responsibly most soft bricked can be fixed but when you delete the boot.img, only JTAG can save you good luck!!
