[Q] Dead Xperia Play, any hope?

Tried over in another forum, got no help.... Hoping someone here has an idea.
A local seller sometimes has phones and I bought an Arc S that worked great recently. Last week he has a Play so I picked it up from him cheap.
This phone is dead. Really dead. No lights, no beeps, no screen activity. Absolutely no reaction to being plugged in on the phone or on the PC (checked under flashtools, PC companion and EMMA).
I opened the phone and checked for water or drop damage, there is none.
I have tried all different USB cables and chargers, including ones that work on my Arc S just fine. I also re-flowed the solder on the USB connector when it was open (I had tried charging previously with no results). The micro USB port looks good. The battery also looks ok, it has no swelling or damage and is a genuine Sony battery.
I hate to put so much effort into it, but I have old phones that have been drowned in salt water and left to rust and they still have SOME response, or phones that have literally been smashed that will at least light the notification light. Seems odd to have this Play do nothing at all.
Any other tricks I can try with this thing?

Anybody? Anything? Wonder why posts that ask something easily Google'able/searchable get 50 responses, legit questions seem to get ignored.

Either mainboard broken or battery totally drained. Try charging the battery with an external charger? Not sure if it works but worth a try

Thanks. Do you know if the Play will do anything at all if the battery is removed but it is connected to USB? I know the Arc will loop the logo.
If not I'll order a battery, if it should be flashing or showing the logo without the battery then I'll assume a bad MB.

I don't have an answer but... I hope this helps...
I have the same problem, my xperia play is/was totally new, i did a kernel flash with flashtool everything was succesful acording with the status window of flashtool, but when I unplug it and tried to turn it on... dead, totally not even a single glimpse of life, not even the notification led.
I hope you and I find a way to bring it back to life... It was only a few hours since it's firts turn on :crying:

New development....
Was about to order a battery/charger for it and remembered I had an old camera battery charger around. Got the prongs lined up right and got a charge on the battery.
Unfortunately all the phone does is vibrate as soon as the battery goes in, and it continues to vibrate no matter what is pressed... and would keep doing it till the battery dies. So at this point I'm guessing bad motherboard.

My battery was full when I did the kernel flash, I plugged it to charge the battery after the incident.
Have you tried to flash a new kernel? I did, but it doesn't respond when I plug it with the back button pressed...

Reparar Xperia Play Bricked (Luz Roja) (aunque no lo reconozca la PC)
Hola, se me ocurrio crear este tema para ayudar a la comunidad en medida de lo posible.
Veran, hay ocaciones en que durante un mal proceso de flasheo o liberacion o simple mala suerte nos encontramos con que nuestro Xperia no enciende mas y no podemos revivirlo con el flashtool o el pc companion ya que la computadora no detecta el telefono o lo decta como dispositivo desconocido.
SETool es un herramienta poderosa que entre otras cosas puede reparar el SEMCboot de los Xperia, esto es lo que se necesita arreglar para que el telefono vuelva a ser dectecado por flashtool y asi reescribirle el firmware.
Basicamente el proceso es sencillo.
1. Se repara el SEMCboot por testpoint y alternative bypass con SETool.
2. Se escribe un firmware nuevo y fresco con SETool o flashtool.
Listo eso es todo y el movil queda vivito de nuevo.
Lo peor que puede pasar despues de revivirlo es que no acepte ningun SIM. Esto no suele pasar a menos de que el problema estuviera desde antes de revivirlo. Sin embargo es facil de arreglar, aunque desafortunadamente no hay manera gratuita de hacerlo ya que para este particular proceso el setool necesita creditos de servidor.
Volviendo al tema. El proceso de Recovery (como se le conoce) necesita de setool que a su vez require tener SETool box o dongle conectada, la cual como se imaginan no es gratuita ni barata.
Sin embargo ofresco este servicio de Recovery sin costo a los amigos de HTCMania.
Asi mismo se aceptan donaciones alegremente
Maybe you can investigate some more about it...

Moto g5 hard brick

After installing security update with the unlocked bootloader my Moto g5 went into hard brick, wanted to know if there is any solution, I already tried to look for the flashbak of Moto g5 but not find there is any repair method?

Only solution is a new motherboard or a repair shop with equipment to reimage the bootloader eg j-tag (such equipment costs about double the price of this phone to buy & requires knowledge of soldering pins etc so cheaper getting repair shop to do it)

I decided to just forget about my dead device. I can't sell it (for pieces) because it still contains my data inside. I will get something with better development when I get enough money. It wasn't a bad device, but it didn't really match my development needs.

RIP.

you think that with a j-tag it is fine, I mean that if it can be repaired because I understand that it is not the bootloader that is deprogrammed but the boot itself.:confuso:

Since I don't own one or tried I can't answer this question
A j-tag can be use to re-image a phone with original firmware if the phone cannot enter the bootloader

then you think it's possible to repair it with a j-tag to take it to a workshop to repair my phone.
or better I wait for them to filter the blank flash files

You could be waiting years for blank flash files - they are leaked
They may never be leaked
Choice is yours

so what do you suggest me do?
I take it with a technician to see if they can repair it with a box or with the j-tag or I hope the truth is that I do not know what to do.

Save money and buy a device that suits your needs better than this one. Sell your dead Moto G5 for pieces, since I guess the other components (screen, camera, speakers, USB port, battery, etc.) still work. I'm sorry, but there's nothing else you can do.

For now has no news, alias Moto g5 has not even 1 year of launching it will take to be leaked, the only solution for now is a technician who knows how to mess with JTAG or the motherboard exchange, it is possible that the for the May be leaked alo

this phone has more than a year that went to the market that was in February 2017 and not only is happening to this terminal but also to the successor to the motorola g5s and I do not think it takes so long to leave the blank flash since on the moto g4 / plus and moto z2 play came out before the year of being on the scoreboard.

Olá Ebner no momento não existe esses arquivos, celulares como Moto G5 plus já existem arquivos QFIL ou o firmware do flashbank, isso pode demorar pois é algo que a Lenovo não vai soltar, e só é lançado se for vazado ou criado pela propia comunidade, tem só dois meio de solução no Brasil, conserto via JTAG que custa em torno de 200 ou o conserto da placa que custa em torno de 600 reais, caso você tem hardbrick sem desbloquear o bootloader a Lenovo cobre todos custo de reparo, espero que tenha ajudado

alghuien logro solucionar el fullbrick de moto z2 play

Si tu moto Z2 Play hicieras lo que hicieras tratando de modificar el sistema se te apago y solo cuando lo conectas prende el led nosotros te enviamos un archivo de manos de 1mb que lo sacara de ahí. Es el Blank Flash, Investiga en internet y veras que hay cientos, este nosotros lo programamos y en menos de 20 segundos tu teléfono encenderá de nuevo. Lo enviamos por email
Did you hard Brick your Moto Z2 Play, We have the only Blank flash that Will boot your cell in less tan 20 seconds. (No screen just blinking led when you plugg it )
Review what is that blank flash, is not aviavle any whare because we program it.
SOLUCION YA !!! (Siguiente Link)

How I solved mine
To be direct, as honest a posible. I just went into AT&T, and my warranty was able to run over the phone. I know, I unlocked the Bootloader, I clearly voided warranty, and Motorola was even aware of that, somehow, due to maybe how the warranty runs with AT&T they finally replaced the main board.
Whenever your phone gets into the QUALCOMM Modem Recovery, is pretty much death, if you do not have a Blankflash for the specific OS, Model, and Bootloader version. But if you got into the problem, without voiding anything your chances area way better then, and maybe just give it a shot.
Or, If you are already outside warranty, It may be the end. Unless a Blackflash for Oreo gets out, that's the only way to actually unbrick these phones, and Motorola is not that good to just going ahead with everyone having the BlankFlash, since that file, can unlock any phone and that means stealing being easier for that specific model.
That's actually my suggestion, if you have warranty; maybe inside a carrier, just go and try.

bootloader unlocked XA1 Plus G3423 International Version Unable to get oreo

So I got this phone after new years, and when I got home I decided to unlock the bootloader because I wanted to root it. Long story **** I found the process too complicated (Unlike how I did it years ago for my previous xperia phone) so I gave up. Now my phone says something about phone is unlocked every time I turn it on and that's that.
I seem to be unable to get latest android update for my phone, I looked at the sony website and used my IMEI number and it says I should be able to install oreo on my device, but there are no updates on my device.
What must I do in order to get the oreo update for my phone? At this point I don't care for rooting my device so any help is extremely appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hola amigo, yo acabo de desbloquear el bootloader de mi xperia xa1 plus G3423 es facil desde la pagina de sony pides un código con tu numero de imei luego en flashtool colocas el código y en par de segundos desbloqueas bootloader, con la herramienta xperifirm descargas el firmware que desees según tu modelo y luego con flashtool haces el .ftf y lo quemas.
Con todo eso listo te queda el teléfono como nuevo ! en xperifirm esta la versión android oreo

Hola amigo, que bueno encontré alguien que habka español.
Tengo una duda sobre el abrir el bootloader, resulta que tengo igual el Xa1 plus y quiero abrir el bootloader pero no si si al hacerlo y perder las drmkeys se pierda calidad en cámara o las mejoras de imágen o si de alguna forma empeora el equipo al abrir el bootloader, tú que ya lo abriste no taste algo de eso o algún otro problema,?? Agradecería tu consejo
