Hi all I have a problem a big one lol, well I have a Sony Ericsson Arc and I wanted to update to latest software using the phone, so I used the internal update service and all seemed well until the phone rebooted and would not boot it just vibrated a little but no screen, I charged the phone and tried again to no avail.
So I plugged in the phone and used the repair TP in the software by holding the back button while plugging in the phone, after it finished flashing I tried to turn on the phone and it turned on and I thought all was well but it is corrupt, the market place wont download as it thinks the phone has no internal memory, the phone will not full reset and I cant update the software, the holding the back button will not work anymore while plugging in the phone to try and update it so I am lost with it, is there anyway I can fix this phone maybe using a program and test point as I cannot get it in flash mode using the back button anymore please can someone help me thanks.
Well u can maybe try put the earlier version of firmware (the one u have before .58) i think .42 with wotanserver application and firmware. Go to their web site to see how it's done.

I am having same issue... Please help
Try flashing a firmware using flashtool.
Flashtool is not helping. Any other suggestions?
So, i have update my ion to ICS LT28h, my wife's ion we waited for the official AT&T update. I downloaded PC Companion, connected the phone, started the update process. I did all i was told on every screen. the phone never updated and now does not power on. no lights when plugged in to charge or connect.
help?
Wrong Section
wrong section
1) hold the power + volume down for like 15 secs...(untill you feel a vibrate)
2) download flashtool at http://androxyde.github.com/
-----Install
3) download whatever FTF you want at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752345
----move it to C:\Flashtool\firmwares
make sure drivers are installed(find them in C:\Flashtool\drivers
4) Launch Flashtool
5)select the thunderbold
----select the ftf
6)insert the micro usb end into phone (leaving the regular usb out of computer)
----it will tell you some instructions on how to flash but they are for different xperia phone
7) while holding the volume down button while the phone is off (From step 1)
insert REGULAR usb into computer
it should say flashing, or your comp might say installing driver, or it might just say drivers not installed..
ONLY IF YOU CHOOSE TO INSTALL LT28H FTF--------------repeat this step but now install the file from (FOR LTE)

If it is an AT&T phone do you really want to update to LT28h?
why not install lt28h
all you have to do is just flash the extra ftf
and then just change the APN
which i as well as spectre have posted

The att version works fine has root and cwm

No reason to use the LT28h anymore since the LT28i and LT28at both have ICS and root.
In hope that someone's still looking at this thread, here is my situation: I tried flashing a prerooted image via fastboot and landed in a Sony bootloop. Then somehow I was stuck in fastboot-mode (led: static blue) and let the phone drain its battery. Now I'm able to get into flashmode but when flashing the chinese FTF with the Flashtool it stops at 1% with status "Processing .......sin" (sorry don't know the file exactly).
When I'm trying to power it up now the Sony logo comes up followed by an exclamation mark in a triangle... could you tell me what options there are left? I saw these prerooted images (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1669906), but there is none for the Ion, so I don't know what could be the next step. If I just had back my normal system... I used to flash my Galaxy S many times so I'm not that unexperienced, but it seems I really have a problem here:crying:
Any help is appreciated!

What model are you working with? And where did you get this prerooted image (the one you tried to flash)? From the link you posted I don't see one for the ion. Anyway, based on my own soft brick experience, you'll prolly need to let the phone battery drain, then charge (process can take a day or so), then try and flash your stock FTF via Flashtool.

I have had the 1% happen to me. I just unplug phone close and reopen flashtool and try again. Took me 3 times to get to flash once.
If still no luck, like spectre51 said use repair option in pc companion.

Thx for your hints! It is kinda frustrating to wait until it is fully loaded, then try flashing, then load and wait again... but the 1%-bug seemed to be a major bug as it is fixed now in the new version 0.9.8 of the flashtool.IGonna tray again tomorrow and report my status. I already checked popfan's thread to get a point if mydevice really is bricked or not. So again thanks to all of you!
Just out of curiosity: is there a possibility to flash a prerooted ftf-file? I live in Switzerland where I bought the lt28h version. And I haven't found a prerooted. img file for flashing via fastboot. Just want to root it, custom roms etc. later
Alright, I was able to flash the chinese FTF and got my phone back working:laugh:
But I had to install the newest version 0.9.8 of the flashtool to not get the 1%-bug again. After this roooting via bin4ry's script worked well and now I'm happy happy happy. Thank you all!
I also had problems with flashtool 9.7. I used 9.0 with no problems. Didn't know about 9.8.

as the OP of this thread, thought i'd update. After reading a few threads i discovered the power/volume button trick. tried volume down with no luck, but power and volume up worked. PC Companion did not work in upgrading the phone. just kept telling me to disconnect my battery, and that if the batter cannot be disconnected to skip that step. But it wouldn't go to the next step. So I tried SUS. Worked perfectly.
So, My phone is running lt28h and my wife is on lt28at. There are some differences in the way data is downloaded. looking at my AT&T bill, the data downloads, i assume for apps that get updated, seem to be different sources. also my phone has significantly larger downloads even though we have similar apps. I do have a couple of weather apps she doesn't have that might be responsible for that.
I'd like to do some additional comparisons, but think i'll be flashing the AT&T rom on my phone soon.
Hello dear readers and great XDA members,
Last summer I unlocked the bootloader of my Xperia Play R800i with the testpoint method. Everything worked fine: I installed CWM and loaded a FreeXperia version of CyanogenMod 9.1.
A couple of days ago, I wanted to finally update my ROM to a newer version since there had been so many releases since last summer. I loaded the new ROM and everything worked fine. However, some of the problems I hoped would've been solved by the update, weren't solved at all, especially the video capturing and panorama pictures. So I decided it maybe would be better to flash a new kernel.
I searched for a kernel, but couldn't find anything I liked. Then, I can't remember where, someone posted the "boot.img" files included in the FreeXperia CM9 ROM zip packages were kernel releases. So I decided to use flashtool and flash the boot.img as a new kernel.
This obviously didn't work and I tried some others. By the way: I couldn't boot into ClockWorkMod anymore since I tried to flash a new kernel. Only fastboot and flashmode would work.
I couldn't remember which kernel I used last summer, so I wandered the internet and eventually found that an X10 kernel was included in Flashtool. I though I remembered something about X10 from last summer, so I decided to stupidly flash that kernel to my Xperia Play.
After this flash completed, my phone doesn't respond to anything anymore. Following a list of things I tried (everytime after I tried something, I removed the USB cable and the battery to make sure the Xperia Play was turned off):
- When I press and hold the power button, nothing happens, not even the small vibrate always felt when the phone starts.
- Getting into fastboot mode doesn't work anymore (I tried with holding the search button and connecting USB, as well as some other buttons, nothing worked.)
- Getting into flashmode doesn't work either.
- No matter what I do, the phone won't give me a sign it's still alive. (no LED, no vibrate, no screen, nothing.)
- I tried the Sony Update Service, but that obviously doesn't recognize the phone
- Flashtool doesn't recognize the phone either.
- ADB doesn't recognize the phone of course.
- s1tool (the tool I used for the TestPoint bootloader unlock) recognizes I plug something in, but then gives an error it can't get access to it.
- I charged the battery overnight and tried all of the above again... still nothing works...
- When I plug in the phone to the PC, my PC recognizes something plugged in, but with the name QHSUSB_DLOAD in Device Manager.
(by the way: I am using Windows 8 Pro x64)
Is this phone completely dead or is there any way it can be saved? I was planning on keeping this phone at least until the end of 2013 or begin of 2014 before upgrading... An immediate upgrade is not in my budget and for now I have returned to my Nokia 5530 on Symbian, but that's nothing compared to Android :'(
Thank you very much in advance... I really hope someone can save my poor phone. I know I have been stupid, but I think I somehow panicked when I couldn't get the phone back into CWM and stupidly flashed the X10... Stupid stupid me.
Well I always update to the latest working kernel when I flash a new rom. The one working currently for me is fxp152 kernel.
Have you tried with battery, holding the search button, plug it in, then hold the Power button while still holding search.
Contact Alejandrissimo, he can probably help you.

Thank you for the response! Where do you find these kernels? Are those boot.img files included with fxp zip files the kernel images?
I hadn't tried to hold the power button after holding search button + plugging it in, but it doesn't work either
I will probably contact Alejandrissimo in a couple of days if I can't solve it myself or if nobody else can help me solve it...
Thank you!

Hi Tommy,
I am very sorry for my late response. I haven't fixed my phone yet, but I fear only a hardware flash would work... I think I am going to try to get my phone back to the store where I bought it and I hope they'll fix it. If they don't, I will try to find someone who can hardware flash or ask Allejandrissimo (an Xperia bricked devices expert, it seems...)
I hope you will get your phone to work again! (And please let me know how you did it if you succeed). I will keep you updated if there is any progress. I am very busy at the moment though, so I don't know when I can get my phone back to the store. In the meantime, I have also bought a used Galaxy Nexus...
Greetings,
Sven
EDIT: I think I also accidentally flashed the X10 rom or kernel in the flashtool...
Could be easily fixed by flashtool, tried the same (flashing x10) and phone looked dead. The I toke the battery out and placed it back. Then I could enter flashmode and flash a stock ftf.

Maybe you still have a chance! Bcoz I think you have completely damaged ta files+ semcboot which can only be repaired by se toolbox 3 which requires credits(money)( I m assuming it'll detect phone bcoz s1 tool recognized it with error ) if you have it than you can repair it or you can contact alejandressimo on gtalk.

Hello Arbiterandrea,
I am very sorry tot report that I wasn't able to fix my Xperia Play. I sent my phone back to the online store I bought it from and it arrived there 1 day before my guarantee expired. When I got my phone back, it was a brand new one with a different serial number, no screen protector, not a scratch. And it was for free thanks to my guarantee, even though I bricked it myself. (I just told them "it suddenly stopped working")
If you've got any guarantee left, you could try that, but if I understand correctly you already tried that... Then I think you should contact Allejandrissimo, I've heard many good things about him. I didn't contact him myself, though.
Good luck! And let me know if you have fixed it?
Greetings

Hello, I'm a noob at phone rooting/modding, so I don't know if my phone is dead or just bricked.
Basically, yesterday at some point in the afternoon my phone stopped working. I had charged and used it in the morning as usual. I did not use my phone for like 5 hours and when I tried to turn the screen on, nothing happened. I tried holding the button down, and nothing. I tried connecting it to the charger, but no charging light came on. So it seems that at some point when I was not using the phone it either died or froze in some way and it's now unresponsive (even to holding the power+vol button). To be clear, I was not flashing anything or modifying the phone in any way.
My phone is the ATT Ion updated to the latest official firmware with superuser installed. But I installed superuser almost a year ago and have had no problems since then.
Any help is appreciated!

When you plug in your ion to the pc in flashmode does the led on your ion turn green? If it does then your phone does go into flashmode but your pc doesn't recognize it for some reason, download the new flashtool for xperia, install it, there will be a driver folder in flashtool directory, install all the drivers from it, then check again by connecting your ion to the pc in flashmode again and see if your pc recognizes it.

Ok ?
What did you do ?
Did you try to install any MOD or anything of that sort ?
Give some details and i will try to HELP
Like I said in my first post, I wasn't using the phone at all. I charged and used the phone for a couple hours earlier in the day, then I left it for like 5 hours without using it all, not even checking the time or anything. Then I tried to turn the screen on to check the time and it didn't come on. Held the power button to see if it was off or something, but no response. At no point have I installed any mods, CFW, or anything; other then almost a year ago when I rooted and installed superuser.
looks like hardware issue then
well if you didn't do anything then its an hardware issue most likely...try holding the power and volume up rocker for 10 secs..else you might have to visit the service center
I tried holding the power+vol button, but there was no response. I took it to the service center and they will ship me a new one. I assume it was hardware failure as well, since it just died so suddenly. Too bad I can't retrieve some photos and delete my synced passwords.
Same problem with my first XS,good that I had warenty and gave it back, even ppl from Sony didn't know what the problem is so they gave me a new one.

Hello all.
Yesterday i was using my XDA App on my XZL and somehow the xda app mislead me to some Samsung subforum instead of the ZL original Android Development Forum where i surely clicked on that. Then i thought there was a new rom... downloaded and flashed with no errors inside NUT's Recovery and then it turned into a brick. So no response from my ZL no charging LED, there is no way to go into Fastboot or Flashmode. It will be always recognized as QHSUSB_DLOAD in windows.
What i tried is a tool for linux from here http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm and at the end it says qdl reset but its still bricked. So i dont know what to do anymore. Oh and i never Unlocked my ZL i just had Exsistenz 5.0.0 Rom installed on it.
What happens when you connect it with your pc, does your computer still recognize it as a phone? Did you try to use pc companion repair function?
when i connect it will be seen as QHUSB_DLOAD, PC Companion and SEUS dont see the because of that.
have you tried the reset button? press it and hold it in and you should feel one vibration after a few seconds....keep holding it untill it vibrates 3 more times and it should turn it off/reset it.
then try using flashtool.
Yeah i tried the reset button but its not working anymore its not even vibrating. It seems its complete dead.
there is one thing i could do, to rewrite the phone through QPST from qualcomm but i dont have the files for my phone, so i would need a backup from an c6503 from QPST
just a thought...there was a time or two when just pressing the rest button did not work for me, what i had to do was hold in the power button at the same time as pressing the reset. hold them both till you feel one vibration, keep holding till you feel 3. sorry if thats no help.
i Tried that but dont works too. Now i startet again ubuntu and did try the QHSUSB fix, so the ZL will be recognized as qualcomm modem blabla QDL mode that means qualcomm download mode. So when i do the qhsusb fix it will exit the qdl mode and try to reboot, but there are no partitions anymore on the phone so the phone enters again in QDL mode. When it exits QDL mode it will be connected as Qualcomm inc. in Ubuntu. at this time the Red led flashes for a few seconds until it gets back to QDL mode.
When the phone is unplugged and i press Power button one single time then the Led flashes 3 times Red, when i plug it in at the charger it flashes 1 time for maybe 1 second in Red, but doesnt start to charge. Then it seems to hang up so i need to press the reset button and it goes to QDL mode again, thats all i found out now. And sorry for my bad english
I hope some Dev could help me.
Now i found and Linux app called emmc_recovery which i can flash some .sin files some succesfull with no errors and some files abort. so i need an bootloader for my zl c6503 doesnt matter what file type it is. So how can i find one ?
Sorry, I can't help you. But there is a threat called Disaster Recovery. It's created by NUT, the dev who created the dual recovery for our phone. Since that threat covers ZL, Z and other Xperia-phones, many more people will read it. Maybe you can get help there:

Sorry, but your phone is hard bricked. I experienced the exact same issue on my Xperia T. The only fix is through JTAG, or send it back to Sony and hope they replace it.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah i will sent it to repair center and it was my first and last sony phone. Will go back to HTC.

So you somehow through your own ineptitude or ignorance attempted a flash of Samsung software on a Sony phone and it bricked.....and you blame Sony? Interesting.

Where i ever blamed sony for my fault ?? And where i am ignorant ? You seem a typical troll.
If the XDA App would lead me to to right forum this would never ever happen. I flashed thousand times and never had a brick with my HTC One X. You can say what you want but the quality of Sony is far behind.
In my case, I flashed a custom Xperia T kernel from a dev who modified S1_BOOT and the bad flash put my phone in the QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. I tried absolutely everything and nothing worked, the phone was completely bricked. Now, if this can happen with a bad flash from Sony, imagine the havoc cross flashing device manufacturer's causes! Samsung software on a Sony platform? It's deader than dead.
