Hello there. I recently bought an unlocked Xperia Play from Ebuyer. I then rooted it successfully. But the problem is, my phone automatically updated itself one morning, causing it to be bricked. As I have already flashed the phone before I knew how to do it, but this time when I press the power button, my phone only vibrates once and nothing else happens, and only when I keep pressing the power button it just keeps vibrating.
When the USB cable is connected to my laptop, the phone has a Green light if that is of any help to you.
Thank you in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
---Another problem I seem to be experiencing is the main drivers for the phone appearing as "Flash Device" but on my main computer it was seen as Android. Sadly, my power supply for my main PC failed (Not having much luck, am I?) and I can only use this laptop. Do you possibly have drivers for my XPeria Play for Windows 7 64 bit that would see my phone as Android? Or, could it be because my phone is bricked that it's only being seen as a Flash Device.
Ah... don't worry, it happened to me too not so long ago, it can be fixed. What you gotta do is relock your bootloader so it unbricks itself, while loosing root. Search here in the forums for something called Blagus Relock Bootloader Script. That green light you see there, that indicates your device is either fully charged, or it is in flash/recovery mode. Make sure to enter that mode before doing anything with it by holding the BACK buttoj (NOT the search button) while plugging in the USB cable to the phone. Search for the script I said before using fastboot or flashtool, I don't remember quite well. I'm new here so I can't give you the link, but good luck anyways! This will fix the problem, just re-unlock the bootloader again and you'll be fine. BEWARE, though, if you flash a new custom ROM after that, you will break the baseband/radio. You MUST re-flash a new, updated 2.3.4 firmware for you R800i/a/x/etc, DON'T use a generic from UK if your phone isn't from UK, and use US version if yours actually from America. I believe there's a difference but I did use first "generic" UK 2.3.3, then it bricked, relocked the bootloader, and flashed an updates firmware, totally generic, 2.3.4 that was made specifically for R800i and showed up differently than the other in flashtool. It has a new screenshot function which was pretty awesome, which wasn't my case since I was flashing CM7. Good luck!
EDIT: I usually hate doing this on forums, but since I'm new and my post does actually help I must say FIRST! I'm so happy right now
I have the same problem with my daughter's Play.
However it is originally an unlocked phone bought in Singapore. No rooting, no custom kernals, no nothing. It is original.
After installing the Firmware through PC Companion, she got the instruction to unplug the phone, remove and reinsert the battery and power up.
The Play vibrated once when the power button was pressed and then nothing....
I subsequently tried reflashing again with Flashtool but no difference. I see the .sin being flashed in but the same thing happened on power up... vibrate once and then nothing...
Any suggestions? Help?
How do you check if the phone is set to receive over the air updates automatically?

I am currently trying to fix a friend's Xperia Play r800a. It seems to be having a few different problems and together they are making it all difficult to get it going again. First off I have no real knowledge of toying with an Android phone. I browsed some threads on here, used Google and tried to use Flashtool to get the original operating system on it but all were a no go. I'll try and describe the problems to the best of my abilities and maybe someone can offer some help.
This is what I know from what he remembers he did to the phone. He said that the phone started t only boot to the Sony logo and then it would hang until the battery died or the phone was reset. If plugged in with a wall charger then it would allow him to get to the screen where he would enter his password but the touch screen wouldn't work. He then flashed it using Flashtool and at that point it would boot to a black screen and that's it.
-It hangs on a black screen, no logo or anything is present and it happens regardless of whether it is plugged into a wall charger or not.
-It is not found when plugged into the USB port (Windows 7 PC) and shows up as an unknown device. After a few minutes it is found by the PC but sometimes will randomly go back to an unknown device.
-I sometimes get a red light which blinks three times when I press the power button on the phone. I am currently charging it to see if it was a matter of being a dead battery or something worse (I heard it could be a hardware failure).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My Xperia Play has done This I asked a Mate (Jinx13) He said Il do a hardcore Testpoint process. After I have done this My Phone will Vibrate and Nothing I was Playing Rayman today and it Locks and Hardware Keys Do Not respond.
Then Touchscreen Stopped Working. Indeed This is a Hardware Failure I have got this and Re-Flashing with Blinking SETOOL2 and Resseting it Wouldn't work. I Then Re-Locked By fastboot SIM and Bootloader (Maintained DRM) and Now Dowloading R800i O2-UK From SETOOL Support and 3-UK one and I will Upload them for US people for Warranty they Become indeed handy . I now Am Going to O2 shop I was Running 2.3.4 .42 GENERIC.But I am Not allowed to Give you the FW's Only by Re-Uploading I Can. Anyway My Brave Soldier Died (Hardware Failure) Its the Screen Components.Im Not Rooted anymore and Re-locked with S1-Tool.
If this happens to you My advice is Dont Flash Alpha ROM's They can make Your device Coo Coo. And OC can Damage.
Basically I boot My phone with a 3600MAH Mugen Battery 89% Battery From the Last time It was on. Im afraid your friends Phone is Dead Maybe a Hardware Failure Most Likly and I am now Officialy Out of the Game.
But O2 Gave me 3 Year warranty!!!!! For £100 When I Purchased it. So I am Going to O2 in Stevenage and Say this What actually happend:
"I Purchased My Xperia Play on August 17th Through Online Store ; I have never had a Problem With My device Untill This week : I have had these Issues:
*Touchscreen Wont respond Cleaned Several Times.
*Random Reboots
*Red Light when Phone had 50%+ Battery
*Would Take 6 Battery Pulls to Turn on (Would Only turn on Earlier during the week)
*Lagged In games.
*Running O2 Branded Software
*No Screen Brightness or Signs of Working Screen.
*Would Not charge Unless turned On
*Camera Would Not work Unless Wifi Was not on I dont know why?
So Basically This Phone had a A fault since Day one I always had Camera Fails.

okay lol i don't know if that second post helped but is the phone unlocked? by any chance if it is, you can never really brick your xperia, from experience i kept flashing re flashing cusom kernal all day i get the same loops etc, but always fixable, also flash tool should fix your phone if that is you got the right ftf file for the brand like i have verizon and it have a verizon.ftf file, other than that i need more info about the phone not how it bricked, like what was it running at first etc. Try sony software reflashing repairing if that doesn't work use flashtool and see if you get an error with that
I cant enter fastboot or recovery lol

Hi,
I have my xperia zl c6502, I just bought and when I connected to the internet it show that I have a new system update, I push to make the update, was for the new version 4.4. After I made a restart my phone was dead. Now when I press the power button it only vibrate once and nothing else. I saw that this is mean it's a soft brick. I tryed to flash another ftf file, but no result. Same with PCC, it work , say that it's ok but nothing happend after restart. I can connect in fastboot mode or flash mode. I think the BL is locked. I gues that the check for usb debbuging mode was not made in settings before the brick (I don't know if is matter or not this). The charging is not work. I opened the back cover and I measured the voltage on battery and is low now. I try to charge it with an external power source. What can I do to restore the phone. I see not sign on screen from than, like the display is dead, only the LED is get in red or blue (fastboot mode). Other interested thing is that I try to connect in flash mode the LED is get green for 1 sec after that is off but flash tool say that the device is connected in flash mode Not interested for data, was nothing inside because was new. It have not warranty.
Can somebody to help me?
Thanks.
I see nobody can help me.
OK.
I discover other thing. Each time when I want to flash a new ftf say all are ok until the end, but when I want to flash again and say the status for the ftf from device I see always is the same ftf version, not what I tryd to flash last time. To undestand better can have a look at a log file what I saved. I think that there is no flashing, I have the first ftf when the problem appeared. I unlocked the BL too but no change, only in the status I can see that the BL is unlocked (say ROOTED).
Realy nobody can have an ideea what to do next?
Hi, i have E X A C T L Y the same problem, i dont know what to do. Ive been searching similiar problems in XDA and i think i found something, maybe the TA (Trim Area) is damaged and it causes the phone doesnt boot. For more information visit this post:

If you follow the instructions for method 2, and repeatedly do it a few times, you can succeed. The important thing is to follow the instructions strictly, however silly they may look like.
I did several times, double checking all steps, still boot loop. After apply the method 2 , is doing a boot loop. Than I tried to apply again method 2 I have the successful download with green ...than I go in recovery and flash over adb sideload oos 3.2.8 ...than I start , no more boot loop, but after Oneplus logo goes into black screen with a withe stable notification led turned on ....I left over night ... But it keep staying like that until I force to power off by pressing and holding power button( after I want to turn off i cannot only going into bootloader and from there I choose power of, because is automatically turning on if I press and hold only the power button in order to turn off the device).
Pfiu difficult... I am thinking, some files are missing, this , and where I go in bootloader in missing the values on. Bootloader version- , and baseband version- ....

The bootloader and baseband versions were missing when i bought the phone new and are still blank today after flashing a few ROMs and Recoveries/Firmware and modems. So that is not an issue.
Are you downloading the correct files?

Yes, I am using the unbrick method with msm download tool, using the Method 2, after apply, installing all's the Qualcomm drivers 9008 , drivers signature off in windows.... The unbrick tool is passed with the green message .... Reversing back to oos 3.1.2 Android 6.0.1 ..stock, I have recovery working and bootloader also working, bootloader is locked ....so I cannot do too mutch. I start the device right away after unbrick tool and still boot to op logo that is going to vibrate as restart .... And stays in boot loop. Next step I go into recovery , and do over sideload an update with a full ROM, oos 4.0.1 , also tried with full ROM 3.2.8 ...I can sideload the whole ROM , than i start the device and after op logo goes in black screen and white motivation led lighted .... I leave it for 30 min, and still in the same, now I force turn off by going into bootloader and power off. Notice that after this sideload flash I cannot access the recovery. So I need to apply back the unbrick msm download tool for op3.
I tried also to flash over sideload a signed script from Ahmed , unified toolkit , to activate the USB debugging, but gives an error.
I run out of ideas .....any help is welcome ....
Thanks

RMA'd it to a service center for repair, after two tech support calls. They actually told me that they couldn't repair it due to "water damage." Funny thing is, that phone was never dropped in or on anything, let alone in WATER. Then to add insult to injury they refused to send it back to me stating that I had to pay for return shipping. My wife got on the phone with them and by the end of the phone call they said that they would send it back for free. HAHA. So I bought a Oneplus 3 after that whole ordeal. All the while the Oneplus X sat in the box on my desk for about 5 months. Last week I decided to pick it up and tinker with it some more. I scoured the net trying to find any other programs or solutions that I hadn't tried prior to sending it off. I came across somethings that I hadn't seen before. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/help/fastboot-mode-available-stuck-kindly-t3387918. http://rootmygalaxy.net/oneplus-x-s...w.pickmod.com/rom/4187/coloros-for-oneplus-x/. Ended up flashing Color OS via msm tool. Wouldn't load OS, but i didn't end up with a black screen and white LED, it just sat there. So right after I flashed Color OS, i Flashed the mini unbrick tool by Naman, and BOOM it booted into OS. Hope this helps.
I have an Moto G5 2GB Dual Sim 32GB (Unlocked bootloader, stock rom without root), i was listening music on Groove Music, when i received an notification of an software update, OK, touched to download and update (i was with 60% of battery), on the installation process on Bootloader screen, the phone randomly turned off, without any warning or error. When I try to boot it, nothing happens, seems died, when i connect to USB charging, LED close to Speaker starts blinking.
What happenned? Can I solve this?
Sorry for bad english.
Same thing happened here, with the same phone specs (2GB RAM/32GB ROM/Dual Sim) on the same circumstances (unlocked bl, without root).
Neither the device appears on device manager.

Hmm thats Bad. Very Bad. Whats the build nbr? Or, what was the changelog? I was able to upgrade to August Security patch without problems (and BL unlocked).
Were you using dedexed Version?!?! Do NOT update when using deodexed Version. Then no wonder jt bricked

I was using the default stock rom, not the deodexed one (this one, the deodexed, doesn't even update).
Maybe it's due to the levels of battery before the update process begin, it was around 29%.
Edit: The number version was NPP25.137-33 (stock firmware).

How much space did you have left? You should Start a update with atleast 2gb free to make sure no problems occur.

Bootloader should work. Try going to bootloader by presing Power + Vol Down. But, for installing updates on Locked BL... You earn a price for Cautioness lol .
If bootloader doesnt work, you need to get a gr8 boar replacemenr
(Credit: ATechnoHazard, i wrote before him sorry xD)
Does it show bootloader?
Sometimes even if bootloader is not shown, it may still be active. Please try to boot into bootloader and try connecting using fastboot.

Phone is dead, tried everything and all I get is a blinking led when charging.
Device isn't recognized even by lsusb, so I think there's nothing much left to do besides replacing the board/phone.
A strange behaviour, because my previous phones were all motorolas and I got no problem updating stock firmwares on unlocked bl.

Well, maybe its a bit wierd, but go open up a live chat on moto Website. Just tell them the truth. If lucky, they will still reapir. If not lucky, they will give you a price which you can accept. Like i did on my old phone

No luck on repair.
Just arrived from the local motorola-authorized shop and they immediately check the bl conditions, so, no warranty.
At least that's a nice paperweight.
The value of the repair can be used to buy another great 2nd-hand phone, so i'm just giving up on this one until someone posts a blank flash for the normal G5
I'll create a topic of any blank flash questions...
