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

Hi there! First of all I don't speak english very well.
My Galaxy Nexus hard bricked yesterday.
tl;dr no boot animation, no recovery mode, no download mode, no response from computer.
I thought it had just a low battery level, I found it turned off. So I tried to recharge it but it gave no signals, no battery icon, nothing.
After an all night long recharge I tried to turn it on, to enter in download mode or in recovery mode but nothing works. I also tried to connect it with my computer with and without battery, no response, no "OMAP" device found, no sound from Windows for plugging it in, nothing.
I found this thread here in xda, many people has been redirected to it and found their solution to the brick problem.
I tried to follow all the steps but when I plug in the phone and start the .bat file nothing happens, just stuck on "Waiting for device".
The phone is unlocked and rooted. I'm running AOKP JB-MR1 Build 2 and Franco Kernel for a month, never had problems with them, never installed other ROMs after that.
What should I do now? Should I try to do something or just bring it to a support center? The phone is still in warranty, there would be any problem because it has a non-stock ROM?
I've red about a jig to force the Odin mode, should I buy it? (I found this one)
Thanks for the help.
Have you tried booting into Odin mode

Yes, it doesn't work.
have you your warranty on it?
return it and get a new one
It's hard bricked and a JTAG unit may force it into download mode, if you send it in for warranty, chances are it won't be accepted as it was obviously tampered with and they would find out that your bootloader is unlocked and charge you more money than the device is actually worth to fix it.
I don't understand how it could of bricked if nothing has changed on the phone for a month or longer. Nothing was flashed recently so how can you hard brick the phone?

Yeah, that's why I'm not sure to send it in for warranty. So have I to try with a JTAG first?

I'm not understanding that too, I don't know what happened. Suddendly it stopped working. Maybe is just a battery problem, I'll try to use another one before bringing it to the shop where I bought it.
same happened to me, but I have an untouched phone with stock android. it worked well for over an year until today.
I see a lot of people having same issue, but they say that when connected to PC over USB the phone is recognized as OMAP.
for me the PC doesn't do anything...
any help? thanks

so right after I wrote that I plugged my phone into USB of my PC without battery. when I inserted the battery it started showing me the battery sign and I could started the phone. 3 minutes later it went black again, but the trick didnt work again.
any ideas? thanks
Try This !!
Arrange a 4 ohm resistor and try to attach it in ur usb plug port of phone ..it 'll force the phon eto go in download mode or say Fastboot mode.
then follow a tutorial to flash any rom..
its quite easy else ping me !!

Please could you explain a bit more how to go about this? I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus in a somewhat similar condition. This one is recognised as an OMAP 4430 device. I downloaded OMAP Flasher, installed drivers and tried to bring it back to life but after running the batch file I get this error: Operation FAILED (Remote: : Driver init error 0x00FF8080 - MMC CONFIG FAILURE). Can the resistor trick work on this and if yes, how can I go about it? I am not faint-hearted; I think I can handle it if given the right instructions.
After I tried everything i could from the internet, I went to a shop and tested to see if the USB is broken - and indeed it was. I replaced the USB component of the phone and after that it started.
Thanks guys

You can follow 2 methods.
Easy but time consuming method:
Connect your phone to charger and wait untill it automatically reboot. The flash ftf file. (It may take 10-15 hours or more to reboot)
Difficult but fast method.
Dessemble your phone. Remove/disconnect battery cable from your phone. Reconnect it. Connect it to flashtool as fast as you can and flash ftf file.

You need to look for the bricked thread in general. You have two options
1. Take it apart and undo the ribbon cable.
2. Go through the steps in the bricked thread but it will take a long time and you have to plug it into the factory charge block not your computer.

I have such a problem too. I rooted my XPERIA Ion phone successfully and restarted. the phone was healthy and had no problem. I installed font installer and selected a font and installed it, rebooted and my phone went through bootloop and continiously restarted. XPERIA logo appeared and after several seconds disappeared for about 30-40 minutes untill it turned off and now no charge no boot and no shutdown. I tried to flash my phone by flashhtool but Windows coud not recognize my phone. Just display screen is on and no image no OS no menu is displayed and you can't access anything. please help me.
thank you

Switch off your phone and charged your phone until orange led glow.maximum charging time 15hrs to 35hrs.then you will see that orange led come up.after orange led come up charge your phone until green led.then plug out your phone and flash your phone with flash tool.

As avik said you need to let it charge. You are in a soft brick state so you will need to put it on the factory charger and let it charge until you get a response from it. If you mess with it before it is ready you will only make it a longer process.
I would not try changing the font unless you are on a de odex rom. If you try to change things on a factory rom you will most likely get a boot loop.
After doing a bit of reading on the app why in the world would you even try it?? So many reviews saying it bricked the device and yet you still tried it?? Make sure you read thoroughly before you go trying out stuff. Every response for a newer device is claiming a brick so use your head.
Even i have the same problem which was said by user:avik6123 . what does reboot technically refer to is it just seeing red led light over the mobile or will it switch on automatically. i have got the red led but when i connect it to system with usb cable holding volume down key it doesnt show the green led (flash mode). only the red led is on as if it is charging. can u please help me out??
Just find the soft brick thread at the top of this forum...it'll solve nearly any software related problem you're having...its just a matter of being patient and letting the phone battery completely die...
The main soft brick most owners run in to is trying to hard reset the phone when the device is in a state that you shouldn't do that...holding volume down for 10 seconds with the power button for 3 vibrates is a sure way to completely trash the kernel if the phone is in some sort of problematic state...
you then need to make sure the phone is not responding to anything...no button presses or combinations give any sort of response...then put the phone on the WALL charger...if the battery has not died yet, you'll get no LED when plugged in...don't worry about it being plugged in, this is NOT charging the phone yet...its just a good gauge for when the battery completely dies...after 10+ hours, the LED should start to blink red...leave it on there...after another couple of hours, it should turn solid red...now you're getting somewhere...
you can either get flashtool ready and try to start flashing back to a 'safe' firmware and/or just the kernel...or leave it on the charger until its solid green...which will remove any threat of the device having enough battery to complete the charge...If you take the phone off when LED is solid red, but still not getting into flashmode properly...its need to charge a little longer, and always use the wall charger for this...it charges much faster...
NEVER try to start the phone in this state, though...you'll end up right back where you started...the brick is happening because of corrupted boot data, which will be on the device until you flash over it...the hoops you have to jump through to fix it is all because of having a sealed battery...thats why it takes so long and is so annoying, but what is causing the problem is actually very simple to fix...you just have to be patient and read all the tutorials in order to get out of it...
You don't need to put your phone to charge for like several hours, that's bull, just flash another ROM. I've done it so it works even with 0 % battery power. So anyone who want's to comment my advice, get lost.

I would recommend attacking a rubber band around the volume down button while connected to the computer where flash tool is already in the flashing mode. This way, it will immediately flash as soon as it can.

Ok, so i finally downloaded flashtool but my computer doesn't detect my phone when I plug it in. When I search for devices, my xperia ion is not in the list. Please HELP!!!!
@Shortie71
In order to even contemplate flashing, you NEED i repeat NEED flashtool.
http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
You MUST download it to flash anything onto your phone
The issue you are having is a drivers issue.
My recommendation is to ask in the MAIN question and answers thread about where and how to get drivers since your phone is already soft bricked (installing sony pc companion and inserting phone will therefore not work)
Then, you can properly flash after you have the proper drivers

Hi everyone,
I am using Htc Desire 816G mediatek version( Asia India) #chipset MT6592. Android 4.4.2, Rooted. Please help,
I rooted (iroot) n installed cwm recovery through MTK droid tool, and have a flashable Stock rom (working {made with mtk droid tool by following some guides} ) with a whole backup of its system files that are accessible by SPflash tools.
Problem is i tried porting a [4.4.2] Emotion UI custom rom of same chipset and skipped porting kernel (actually forgot) and after flashing am stuck on a Infinite Black screen Bootloop which reboots itself for every 7-8 seconds, :crying:
Already tried getting into recovery mode by pressing POWER BUTTON+ VOLUME (-) but so success it keeps rebooting! although i have sorted out how to switch it off. POWER BUTTON+ VOLUME(-) + VOLUME(+)
As Spflash tool or Flash tool requires a switched off phone for flashing stock rom but when i connected to PC in off mode it gets on with the same Infinite Black screen Bootloop.....making it undetectable for PC.
Please help me in recovering it back to normal i 've all the necessary files and software! PLS PLS PLS :crying:
help!!!!
I'm too stuck in bootloop. Phone is hard bricked. Not able to do anything. screen in black and while connecting with laptop/pc its disconnecting and connecting again, every 3-4 secs. HTC customer care refused to fix. Please help!!!
If you are going to play with custom ROMs you might as well learn how to open the case and unplug the battery. There are videos on youtube on how to do it, but simply you start at sim slots and pry between the back cover and above the slots with a plastic pry tool or a cut up credit card and work around the phone. The cover should pop off as you go around. The bottom half near the battery is also stuck together with sticky tape so you have to use larger piece of credit card to break the sticky bond. The plastic case is very durable so you don't really have to be too gentle. Unplug battery and plug it back in. Keep cover off till you have working phone. At his point the phone should be off so you can easily hold volume+power to get to boot loader then recovery to load twrp or cwm backup. The cover easily snaps back together. Just plan ahead so all the corners are aligned as you snap around the phone.

You can't expect customer support for a device you bricked yourself... Honestly. Pull the battery and hook it up to PC with it out.
Still its connecting and disconnecting. After removing battery also it won't stay connected. Any idea to make it alive?

After an apparently soft brick that endend in a Infinite Black Screen Bootlog i tried to make a Format with SP flash tool (that was idiot by my part, without any meeting of this) and now a i have a FULL HARD BRICKED PHONE NO FAKE 4K FREE DOWNLOAD...
But i have the hope of you guys can help me.
The phone doesn't turn on, when i connect the usb cable it doesn't seems like if charging or nothing, apparently dead no?... Well this is the magic thing, when i try to Flash again the Stock ROM it Works!... yes, i looks like if doing something, complete the progress bar of flashing and says it's "OK" but really doesn't nothing, still not boot, no charging log, no blu logo, no android logo... What you think?
Hi all,
Need some help with my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4GB/32GB.
Decided to flash Nougat custom ROMs so followed these steps
Connected phone to PC and ran MM BL upgrade. It completed successfully.
Rebooted to BL, then rebooted to recovery, saw the new 3.0.2-M1 TWRP.
Went to TWRP and activated Sideload, ran ADB sideload command to load Nougat DU. It completed 100%.
Proceded to sideload gapps but connection failed. Maybe need to reactivate sideload in TWRP again.
Touched USB cable and the phone switched off. Ever since then it does not boot up and screen does not light up anymore.
Phone was on MM RR, BL unlocked. Battery was at 100% when performing the above actions.
Is there anything else (other than bringing it to ASUS) I can do to revive the phone?
Hi , I'm in a rush here , just one question to start ..
Can you get into bootloader via buttons not connected to charger ?
Do you know how to ?
Ps , you don't need to sideload roms in twrp , you just install them after usual wipes.

I can't. The way is to press the volume up and power buttons at the same time, and release the power button when the phone vibrates after a few seconds.
On my phone there was no response whatsoever.
Yeah I know I don't have to sideload ROMs, but I was lazy to copy it to the SD card.
Plus I had plans to wipe the internal SD card, so didn't copy there either...

Sounds like you are bricked my friend
but do try holding power button and vol for a good length of time...then power button too on its own for some time..
If and when you get two vibes , if no boot loader
Check unbrick threads .
If get bootloader , scroll to recovery select it .
Next time download roms to fone
safer !
I think kernel is in panic mode. Try disconnecting the battery for a little while and then reconnect it. You'll have to open your phone to do it. There are many YouTube videos to see how you can do so. It's not that difficult. Good luck!
I'm in the same boat... no even LED while connected to the charger... Already disconnected the battery and closed again. No joy. Is this a "deep brick of death"?? Its too expensive to give away without fight a little. Any help is more than welcome
There are threads on xda that describe how to revive hard bricks.
For me, disconnecting and reconnecting the battery had worked.
Please make sure that battery is connected perfectly.
Sometimes , leaving on charge brings at least the two vibes back eventually
That's enough to start xFSTK unbricking process.
Besides the already mentioned battery disconnect.
I seen one guy revive by disconnecting USB board too

Looking at unbricking threads.
Problem is the PC was unable to detect the phone in IntelSOC mode. Absolutely no response.
I will try different OS and machines though

You mean leave it connected to PC to charge until the two vibes came back?
I originally did have the two vibes, but the phone was connected to the charger at that point.
Unfortunately I don't have the vibes even connecting to the same charger now.
I believe the solution now is to try to recover the bootloader and restore the OS.
Question is how to get it detected in PC in IntelSOC mode.
Things to try:
Disconnect battery
Disconnect USB board
Try different PCs and OS

I'm sorry to hear that. I will try to disconnect the battery to see if I have more luck.
It was also mentioned that disconnecting the USB board worked for one guy.

When you get two vibes back , you can install isoc driver and your PC will recognise it.
In the early days before unbricking knowledge of zen 2 , I also witnessed the same , blank screen no vibes
What I did was leave it on charge , every hour or so ..press power plus vol plus , quick press , then after a longer press , if nothing then just power , quick press and a longer press.
Then I awoke to the vibes
Once the vibes start , then its install isoc , don't install xFSTK downloader until driver is set up
PS , that was before we found discon of battery method and still had warranty

Can I ask how many times you tried before getting the two vibes back?
And it was connected to the PC's USB port?
I asked because I did have the vibes when connecting to the wall charger.
But it went away when I then connect to the PC. And now there are no vibes even when connecting to wall charger.

Leave on charge , means exactly that, leave on charger .
Leave it on a full day , if fone gets warm its charging .
Try all the stuff already mentioned.
Some people have give up , thrown fones in draw and 3 months later come back to life.
Some people hot wired battery straight to charger too, but that's off limits .
There is nothing straight forward that works for everyone , here is a few exanples of what revived many fones ,you pay the price for being lazy
We all learn the hard way
