2. The SEMC Flash Device on Win7, it's work, if I press return button and plug the USB connecter, the green light is on, but if I try press menu button and plug the USB connecter, the blue light doesn't turn on.
3. I try many time to use the FlashTool-0.4.1.0_LOE_ARCFlashTool-0.4.1.0_LOE_ARC with the LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42（2.3.4）_global by ynloe（LOE）.ftf ROM file.
But all procedure running to below as;

can you get into CWM Recovery?
if so, try to install CM7 (for now, if you want, replace it) to repair the phone.

[HELP] bricked XPERIA S by silly mistake

Hello friends,
I am new (and dumb too) to XDA and all the root and all these things.
I just rooted and unlocked bootloader of my Xperia S.
and flashed the Jelly bean AOSP ROM as in following thread.
[ROM]JB AOSP 4.2.1 alpha 2
I was playing in recovery mode and I don't which option I choose but I think something like "Wipe Partitions" or "Format partitions"
After that I rebooted phone but it just went dead.
I think the battery was low (~15%) when I messed up.
Now it's not responding to anything, no boot, no recovery mode, no fastboot, no flash mode,(vol + or vol - with power) :crying:
Only thing was that I put it on wall charger at 2:00 am (no LED), at morning 10::am RED LED was strong on, but still no fastboot and flash mod e while connecting to pc :crying:
Still I kept on charging whole day ( I saw some threads regarding XPERIA S UNBRICK )
now after ~8hours, connected to pc but still detection.
Also I want to mention that When LED was on while charging and the I connected to pc , IF LED went ON , then phone not detected by computer.
and after sometime the LED went off , then Device says it connected as in screen shot below, but no fastboot or flashmode.
Please help me. Sorry for bad representation.

Hi, the i'm not a phone wizz but it happen't to me a few days ago as well. Tried everything almost bought a new phone because i thought it was bricked....
Now it's alive and kickin'.
For me worked:
Mine randomly started up till the battery was empty, 2-3min and that was enough.
Download the Emma flashtool, it's from Sony itself.
Install the flashtool and start it..let it settle.
With the red light on when it starts try to get it in plug in the usb in the phone (it's already connected in the pc) while holding the volume button down, and when you're lucky the flashtool will recognize the phone and will collect the correct software/ROM/kernel. Just hit the install/repair button and that worked for me, it installed the correct software and it was alive again...
Wish you all the luck.

Thank you for your reply.
I did it but when connected phone with vol - , red LED was strong on , but device didn't detected by OS, nor Emma, nor with flashtool.
but after 1 minute the LED went off and at the same moment device detected in PC OS (as sound of new hardware detected sound of windows heard) and flashtool log was-
09/042/2013 22:42:12 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
09/042/2013 22:42:12 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
no response from Emma. Also no flashboot or fastboot :crying:

Have installed the fastboot drivers for your phone?
If you connect your phone with vol- or vol+ you shouldn't get a red light, it should be blue or green.
Try charge phone for a while then download a jellybean kernel (e.g. *.sin file), then adb push the kernel to the phone. Boot into recovery and refresh rom.
This will require adb and drivers both available in the flashpoint folder.

Thank you for reply.
OK I will try. But the phone RED LED going on as a charging indicator only.
(Generally when phone shuts down at 0% battery and if we boot it up without charging, it turns on and turn off , after i fyou connect the charger, the instance the RED LED goes on but screen remains blank, After sometime the screen shows charging battery )
the same case is happening with me.
Should I remove battery, will it void its warranty?

So u can charge ur phone? It sounds like all u need to do is reinstall a kernel then a rom. No need to remove battery. If you connect urban phone to a usb,when off, and hold a volume key you should not get a red led. You get a red led when u don't have flashmode and/or fastboot.

Have you tried a 'hard' reset of the phone/power.
Phone may be in a loop with power still on or some other state.
Hold the power button -and- volume up button for a good 10 seconds.
You may feel the phone vibrate once then a few seconds later it vibrates three times in rapid succession.
This should indicate the phone is powered down.
If powered down, it may then be able to recharge itself and if you're lucky show a battery charging icon.
When recharged, I'd use SEUS to reload the stock firmware.
Good luck.

Step 1 - Download a kernel.
Download a kernel like nova (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35055975). this will Download a zip file, open the file and extract the file kernel.elf. note nova is a jellybean kernel.
step 2 - Push the kernel file to the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23181182
[Xperia S][INFO][REF] All that u need to know before u begin
Step 3 - boot the phone into recovery and install a Rom zip file then reboot.
Step 4 - hit thanks.
Not sure about removing the battery. I have never need to do it.I guess it would be ok if you don't damage anything or break any security seals. Btw u know when u charge your phone when the battery is below 90% it displays a red light hey.

Make sure your phone is absolutely off
Put it to a cool place like refrigerator for a couple of hours
then flash a kernel so fast by fastboot.exe
If works you can full charge your device and you are lucky.

tried to make a reboot by holding power button + volume up for few seconds ?

If nothing works, you can always use flashtool.
Restore the phone to stock ROM, make sure you download the ftf of your region!
All the best :good:

Did you push the yellow button on the left side in the SIM/MicroSD Card compartment until the phone vibrated 3 times. 3 times is necessary for a reset.

I would try the Yellow button to do a full reset, 3 vibrations.
Also, if nothing is charging or detecting, it could mean your charging slot is faulty.. And your phone is completely discharged so it can't power on. Don't know, just an assumption.

It happened to me. Push the yellowbutton until vibrates 3 times, at first it will vibrate once but keep pushing. Reinstall the .ftf via flashtools and have a nice day.

pressing the yellow button had always worked for me when i thought it was bricked....but the other day after a failed kernel install, just pressing the yellow button did not work! after trying a few times, i finally tried holding the power button at the same time as the yellow button. it worked and vibrated once, then three times as normal. after that i connected to my pc and used flashtool.

That happens to me too. Try waiting for it first for several minutes. And if takes too long, maybe more than 5 mins, try pressing power+volUP until it vibrates three times. Then power it on again. And also this happens too while my phone is charging.

please help

i updated my xperia z5 premium e6833 many times but it been a long time since last time i updated my mobile .. when i tried to install the latest software using flashtool i forgot to check if allowing debugging and unknowing file so my mobile now stuck on msg (the softare update failed..........) please help how can i fix this .. it been 2 days until now i been searching and couldnt fix it

I would flash it again. Hold volume up and power button till vibrate 3 time then release both button. Press and hold power while plug in USB cable to put it in flash mode. Happen to me once and that's what I did
