[Q] Fix Possible Click me if you can help!

Right back in september aljendrissimo posted a brick fix,
He is now kind of dead meaning i cant contact him because he's never online .
So does anyone know how to fix a xperia with a RED LED flashes 3 times when trying to boot.
I cant get into fastboot can get into ZEUS FLASH MODE thing.
So any answers?

Can you use flashtool to install a firmware? Hold the back button while the phone is powered off and then plug in the usb while you hold it. If a green light comes up, then you can flash a ftf in flashtool.

is your bootloader locked?? if yes, repair the phone using pc companion..

[Q] Xperia S HARD Bricked!!! Need Help

Hello guys.
My Sony Xperia S got Hard bricked after i tried to partition my SDcard from TWRP recovery which unfortunately failed due to some reason.....
I had boot manager installed for dual boot and i had sony stock firmware 6.1.A.2.55 on the native and CM10 on loop ...
The partition was tried in TWRP for loop in Ext4 format
My Xperia S now does not respond to fastboot buttons as well as all other combinations ...
It doesnt light any LED not even while its connected to the charger..
The only thing that happens is when i connect it using USB cable without any combinations and the computer detects it as SEMC flash device..
Is there any method to flash using this mode?
I have tried every method on all the forums.(flashtool,fastboot,taking battery out ,power+vol up,everything )
Guys please i need serios help any experienced suggesions would be helpful ...
Please help :crying:
PS: i had never thought that trying to partition the SDcard would brick my phone..

Did you leave your phone connected to wall charger? How many hours you leave it? Mine SONY logo appear in 8 hours. Try it. It may help. Leave your phone connected yo wall charger for sometime.

Okay ill try that for sure and let u know

Wow i don't know how ...but just as i connected it to the charger the orange LED shows up .....But there is no sony logo anyway ...lets wait

nope nothing happened except the LED that glows :crying:

How the duck did you take your battery out? It has an INBUILT one, why would you take apart the entire phone?
Then, after telling you how stupidly you did that;
can you go back into the recovery? (probably yes, but it's weird)
Did you ACTUALLY take apart the phone to take the battery out? (probably not)
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? (i think you do, but not sure...)
Do you still have warranty? (probably yes)
Try again, because if the orange LED showed up, it's probably not too late...
Now go and use FlashTool once more...

yes i took the phone apart took the battery out ...waited long enough for the capacitors to discharge and then again put it in...
no i can't get back into the recovery ...i can't even boot the phone and no combination is working
yes i have an unlocked bootloader
no on't have the warranty..
The orange LED glows up while charging only
the phone does not go to fastboot or any other mode so i can't use flash tool
the only thing that comes on the computer when i plug the USB is "SEMC flash device" ....which non of the tools recognise

Guys please ...is there anyone out there who can help me? :crying:

I do believe you DID have warranty up until the moment you took apart the phone (I think the repair service guys would fix your phone without chacking for a locked BL...)

They wont know you took it apart. There is no tamper protection.

Exactly they dont have any protection against that.....and i dont think any phones with an inbuilt battery would have such protection....

I'm starting to think that my case could be a corrupted bootloader, where I have to use JTag to try to save, but I don't know anyone who have a JTag, neither in my country.
I don't know what could be, but I still entering in flashmode or fastboot and my PC recognize my phone with testpoint, so I think that maybe is not a hardware problem...

Even i think i might have to do that ...u r stil very lucky to be able to get into fastboot and flashmode....i can't get into those too...
The only 1 option i haven't tried is using testpoints .....ill try that out after i get all the tools required

Hi, I decided to post it here because it seems that anything I post on Xperia Ion forum is not read, it is inactive.
I already searched everywhere and I'm loosing my hopes. I'm trying to revive an Xperia Ion and this is what I get:
When I plug the phone in the wall charger the red led turns on for some minutes and then turns off.
The same happens when I plug on PC, when the led turns off it is detected as "Somc flash device" in windows device manager and this shows in flashtool:
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Nothing changes if I plug in pc with volume + or - pressed, it don't goes into fastboot or flashmode.
I hope you could help me. Thanks

[Q] Flashmode problem

I am not able to put my xperia m in flashmode using the flashtool. I tried turning off phone and then holding volume down and inserting the USB cable but nothing happens, there is no led flashing when i do that. Also my phone is not charging while connected to pc when its turned off.
I have every driver installed and i am using the lastest version of flashtool.

Dude you need to hold Vol + button to enter in fastboot.

I have tried both volume up and vol down nothing happens.

Does your phone charge through your charger when it is switched off?

when you connect your phone to pc in normal mode then does it detects??

No my phone doesn't charge with the charger when its turned off. And my pc detects my phone when connected normally.

If it's a soft brick, you can repair from PCC or flash using flashtool.

Lets just analyze your problem:
You launched flashtool and started a flash session.And then a window appeared in flashtool saying that you have to connect your phone in flashmode. You pressed Volume+ and connected your phone.
I want to know what happened next,
Did the window telling you to connect the device in flashmode close down automatically?
Was a pop-pup shown in your pc telling you to choose your phone model?
If these didnt happen, what else did?
I can help you certainly if you can answer these questions.

How do i unbrick my phone? I can't take it to center because i have rooted and unlocked bootloader.

If it's a hard brick we can do nothing about it.

Finally fixed the problem. I just pulled out the battery and left it for a minute then inserted again. Now everything is working fine.

(REQ)Official kernel.sin xperia ion

Hey guys its been a week..I am carrying my bricked device which show red led and continuous bootloop after I charged my battey for half and hour..so i wanna flash stock kernel.sin as my device was relocked bootloader..if anyone have it ...plz kindly provide me..thanks in advance...

I don't have it bro. But of you consider hard resetting it and charge it until it shows up red led and flashing original firmware by flashtool might help you.

i did each and every possible way..but no luck..i too disassamble my mobile and remove the battery chip but no luck...but loop is still persisting..

1.Firstly you should charge your phone for 36-48 hrs
2.don't turn it on
3.On ur pc, open flashtool n tap on flash button
4.when it asks for phone, plug your phone with pressing volume down button
5.wait for flashtool to recognize ur phone
6.then flashing will be done
Hope this will work in your case..as i had same problem before

i had this problem the other day...when the it boot loops hard reset it then leave it to charge till red led appears and then disappears...when the red led disappears apply the rubberband trick and connect your phone to your pc with the flashtool waitin to flash your phone eventually it wud go into flash mode...dont attempt to flash the system on the first try...flash the kernel then leave it to charge on a wall charger until you get a greed led and then flash the TFT fully

@fernoct @XrosMaster @prat.cena @pharix @Zorbeyd

check through adb if the phone is getting connected or not.
if not then try booting it into fastboot mode or recovery mode.
all the best :good:

If after charging the battery, LED still blinks red than may be your battery is dead.
try changing the battery.
also try connecting the phone in flashmode
- keep pressing the back button & while holding the back button connect the usb cable.
if green LED is on than your phone is still good.
Report back!
