please dont use ANY sbf files..you will need to use the FULL sbf files, and not some FIXED sbf files. there is a difference between the 2, and if you phone is bricked, you'll have to use a full sbf to flash it. using the fixed sbf will not help, and only frustrate you further

My phone before bricked was running 2.3.4 and now won't turn on. I would get the white light once plugged into laptop but rsd lite would not recognize the phone. I then had a friend charge my battery on their defy.. so now with 100 charge I get no white light and rsd lite still doesn't recognize it..
device manager on my laptop does recognize that there is a motorola device plugged in that needs flashing.. it says "ready for flash"

I have a similar problem to urs, I had to replace the lcd and while i done it i started the device without assembling it, i think that removing the battery while the device was on corrupted the flash. The device would only show the white led and now it wont even show nothing.
My device wasnt rooted and it was using the factory android 2.2.2? does anyone have any suggestions. I have tried mcwygver wire rooting solution and rsd and the device is completly dead.
Using vol UP/down +power up wont work either.
Any suggestions?
Kind Regards

Hi i have the same problem. Phone via USB shows White LED and does not power on. Phone via mains charger is stuck on bootup logo.
When using mains and using volume UP on startup i am stuck in the battery low cannot flash mode. Without mains the phone does not power at all
Tried mcgyver fix via usb - phone does not power on at all, totally dead. It is possible i have done mcgyver wrong? i have placed red wire into + and taped it, put black into - and taped it. Remaining 2 battery holes in the middle are open and not taped. Question - do the + and - have to have the bare wires in but still have the connection hole EXPOSED for the pin in the phone to connect, or are they supposed to be covered?
Thanks

Guys my phone at the time wasnt rooted with the stock rom, i didnt had made no changes to it or whatsoever. But what i have learnt with time i have being trying to fix my problem is that a desktop charger and a spare battery are a great help.
Usually when i cant start the phone because the phone is stuck on white led i get a fully charged battery and it usually works. by trying to get to the bootloader first without the cable connected and after with cable connected.
A few times i have had the phone bricked with no led or being able to boot it, so i just leave it overnight with no battery and it usually it fixes it.
Hope it helps.
Kind Regards
I think u haven't done nything wrong

Hi
for your batery i've the solution ! find someone who have the same phone, and ask him if he can put your batery in his phone to charge your batery !
Hello Everyone
I tried to find a solution without troubling anyone, so I searched a lot and a lot of threads all over the internent with no hope . I have tried as many possiblesolutions as I could find even those which are not meant for xperia play. I will explain everythingvery clearly for those who want to help or even try to ...
The Problem :
My Xperia Play suddenly doesn't get pass the Sony Ericsson text at the boot screen which appearsas soon as you turn on the device. It keeps hanging on that white text on that black background for hours until I pull out the battery . I then found out that if I connect my charger before turning on the device it will boot normally as usual . I also found out that as soon as I disconnect the charger cable , the phone will immediately turn off. Another important issue is that even when I mamange to boot the phone normally by the charger , the screen does not respond to my touch even in CWM touch recovery in Doomkernel . Despite that , I can operate the phone completely using the key pad . That means the phone is full functional except for the " boot " and " touch " problems.
What I have done so far :
- I flashed different stock firmware FTF several time via Flash Mode including .42 , .58 enhanced , and .62 using flashtool with flashing ending in success each and everytime .
- I flashed different kernels via Fastboot Mode including DoomlordKernel v14 (GB ) , DoomlordKernel v3 ( ICS ) , and Lupusv11 ( ICS)
- I have accessed CWM recovery serveral times and formated each and everything that could be formatted including data , system , cache ..etc
- I have also tried flashing different ROMs such as NXT 1.3 and Markpython XPlay ICS
- I have put phone in a rice bag in case it had moister or water damage !
- I have disassemble the phone completelypart by part and found nothing damaged so I cleaned it and ressambeled it again
- I have left the phone for days without turning it on . I also tried keeping the battery out for several hours.
- I have used a replacement new battery just in case it was my battery has a problem.
- I relocked my bootloader and repaired my phone via Sony Update Service and the repairing process endedin success.
The results so far :
Nothing changed at all . After doing all of the above and repeating it. I even did more things I can't remember now.Everything is still the same. The phone is stuck at SE text at boot screen and if connected to charger then turned on it will boot normally but the touch screen doesn't respond for some reason I can't figure out , although the digitizer is intact.
What I am doing now :
- I have no more trick to try and I am totally depressed about this ZOMBIE Xperia Play which is half working and half borken.
Thank you very much for your time and for trying to help
I am waiting for your suggestions ...
For your touch screen problem, I doubt that the digitizer is damaged. As for your booting issue, I'm not sure.
looks like the battery doesn't give enough power to the phone

Maybe it is invisabely damaged . However, if I can't fix my boot issue , getting a replacement digitizer is just a waste of money.

I tried using a new battery the other day at the phone's shop and the same thing happened . The phone just
doesn't continue to boot and get stuck at Sony Ericsson text.

The power turns on and the screen turns on when the I power the device. The problem is booting into the system.
It get stuck at Sony Ericsson text . However, it's very mysterious why the phone turns off when the charger is disconnected , perhaps the real question is : how come the battery powers the device but can not boot it and keep it running ?
You didn't say what version is your xperia play is. Is it R800x, R800i, R800a, R800at? If you have the xperia play CDMA version you cant use GSM kernel or roms.
I dropped my phone (after replacing the housing) and had the same thing happen to me. Opened it up again and the digitizer cable was loose. Fixed it for me.
EDIT- My phone would turn on without the need of the cable, but i couldnt mount my sd card/enter mtp unless i connected the usb cable prior to turning it on (so my issue was slightly different).

It's R800i , and it is used to work normally. I also tried stock kernel and nothing changes ... the problem persists.

I already opened up my device and disconnected the digitizer cable and reconnected it and the touch was
still not working but I'll try it again as soon as I fix my boot issue. The phone doesn't boot to the system
unless connected to the charger prior to turning it on.
my phone is only 6 months old ... It runs perfectly when connected to charger but as soon as I disconnect it the phone turns off ... using a new battery doesn't solve the problem ... what could it be that causing this ?!
Final Solution to your problem
You will have to use odin. Just connect it to a laptop/desktop and run Odin. It will fix your problem and if this doesnt work you will have to send it to a Sony centre in your neighborhood. But I am sure odin will fix it. I had a similar problem once. So try odin.
Click thanks if you appreciate this

I never used this program before . I thought it was flashtool equivalent for samsung phones. I guess I was wrong. I really appreciate your help . Could you please explain more about the process. Give me steps to follow... Thank you very much I really appreciate your great help.
I'm pretty sure Odin is only for Samsung phones as the phone has to be in "download mode" for anything to work and well Sony devices don't have a download mode

Odin is only for Samsung phones, and I'm having an issue quite similar with my Play R800at. I just got it from a friend. It boots, continues up to ATT screen, then resets. I can't figure out how to boot into recovery, I can't find flashtool, I'm completely lost. I should have stuck with my S3.

Well Sony xperia devices don't have a stock recovery...so it should go into fast boot if you take the battery out and hold search on the phone,plug the USB into the PC and the phone led should turn blue and bam your in fast boot

I did fix the boot loop issue. If you download the Sony pc companion, hold the back button and plug the usb in at the same time, it will download a repaired version of the latest firmware and fix the boot loop.

Just wondering but did anyone solve the initial issue as the same thing has happened to my xperia r800i
1. Flash ftf with flashtool
2. Flash gb/ics/jb kernel
3. Flash gb/ics/jb rom via the kernel recovery
It should do it but kernel has to match the ROM.
Example: if i want to flash jb rom then I have to flash jb kernel.

I think the best solution is to seek help on any sony mobile center near at your place.
Have you tried reflashing again?

There is no sony mobile help center in my country ... I'm from Libya BTW.
I tried everything . flashtool , SUS, Different FTFs , and many more...
Um, could be your battery? As it seems that your phone needs the extra power to burst into life?
Hey guys , my xperia m ( single sim ) is stuck on the sony logo whenever i try to boot it up.
I rooted my phone many months and it was perfect till this morning and then suddenly it got stuck at the sony logo.
Ive tried to fix it via the pc companion but it doesnt detect it . Now the battery has also run out so when i try to charge it , it shows the led for charging but then the sony logo comes up on its on and stays stuck there. Please help =(
That is a simple soft-brick/bootloop (depending on who you ask, I'd say bootloop).
Charge the phone for a couple of hours and then flash stock firmware with flashtool. To do this you will need to download the stock firmware ftf (these can ALL be found in the general section, don't ask for links) and also flashtool (http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php). Move the ftf to the firmware folder to where you extracted flashtool to (the C: is the best bet).
Once you have both of those things and your phone has charge in it open flashtool. Then click on the lightning bolt icon and then flashmode. Select the firmware you have downloaded.
UNTICK Wipe cache and data.
Click flash.
Wait for flashtool to tell you to connect your phone in flashmode (do this by holding volume down (I think) while the phone is off and you are connecting the USB cable).
Wait for the firmware to finish flashing.
If you get an error saying that loader.sin has finished processing with errors open the ftf with WinRar (or something similar) and delete the loader.sin file and make sure that you save the changes to the ftf.
If you are still stuck on the Sony logo after flashing, remove your battery and then put it back in and try to turn on the device again. If you are still stuck on the Sony logo after that you will have to wipe the cache and data with flashtool.

I read about the flashing thing on other sites aswell but what i was worried about was the fact that since pc companion isnt dectecting my phone will the flash be able to go through considering the fact that since pc companion isnt dectecting it even the flash tool might not?

Flashtool will definitely detect it, don't worry. PC Companion needs the phone to actually be booted to be able to detect it, whereas flashtool only needs the phone to be in either fastboot mode or flash mode to detect it. Both of these modes are initiated by the user when they are plugging in the USB cable and holding the respective volume button and the phone is off.

Thank you for helping me just btw
I know this'll annoy you a bit but the version that i have to flash it with is the stock one? Because i searched on the internet and some are with the 4.3 one and some are 4.2.2 so im a bit confused. Sorry im kind of a noob at this T_T
And flashtool first says that my phone is connected with usb debugging on then says phone is disconnected when its not :/

Any stock firmware to the device will work, so it can be any of the 4.1.2 variants or and of the 4.3 variants (4.2 is for dual SIM). And don't worry about being a noob, all of us were at one point or another.

When you are flashing a firmware be sure to keep the cable firmly connected throughout the entire process (use a different cable if the one you already have is a bit loose) and don't mess with the phone at all. Can you post the whole log you got from flashtool? Either in text form or through a screenshot?
i tried to unlock the bootloader......it succeed but resulted in long bootloop and the phone not working....i tried to flash it with its original firmware using sony flashtool but didnt succeed in that coz i flashed a recovery image and resulted in bricking...tried pc companion....failed....it was then booting in fastboot and slashboot....i submitted it to sony service center...they say that the display has crashed...and the motherboard too,,,needs replacement...its now jst blinking red thrice when powered on....
I AM REALLY HELPLESS NOW PLZ SUGGEST SOME COZ I THINK ITS SOFTWARE PART ONLY AND SONY PEOPLE HAVE BEFOOLED ME
HELP HELP HELP
No need to replace motherboard your device is not hard bricked because led is blinking.
Pull the battery and wait for 1 min. insert the battery & connect your mobile to pc in fastboot mode(hold Volume UP button and plug in USB Cable). The device’s LED light should turn into Blue. Flash stock kernel with flashtool or cmd method(flash the kernel for your device Ex. SS or DS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494793). Then unplug the cable & connect to flash mode flash stock rom :good:
Thnx alot for replying but it is not getting into flashboot and fastboot now after i took it from the service center.....
Its just blinking thrice when i am powering it on....nothing else....
HELP PLEASE..
If I'm correct, the LED blinking in red thrice suggests that the battery is empty and need to be charged. Try that and do @Sureshtuty 's suggestion.
