Hello, I downloaded my correct firmware version directed as in the xperiafirm tool
Followed instructions for newflasher
Went through the process and newflasher exited me out.
Unplugged phone
Green led light on still
Phone will not boot.
Phone not registering when connected to pc
Is this completely bricked?
Seems like I've panicked prematurely.
Pressed and held volume down and power for 20 sec
Then volume up and then power.

I've owned the DEFY for over two months, it is rooted but not flashed. Installed many apps and it had been working fine.
Today it suddenly go black when charging. Then, when pressing the power button, nothing happened. At first, when it was plugged into the PC USB port, the white LED was on. But later on, even the LED was always off.
Connected to PC via the USB cable, take the battery off and put it on again, the USB connecting and disconnecting sound was played on the PC. The Windows XP hardware manager briefly showed "Motorola USB device" and then it disappeared.
The screen is always black. Nothing seems to happen when pressing the power button, power+volume up, or power+volume down.
Please help!
I borrowed another DEFY and charged the battery to 100%. The problem persisted. The battery is good, for it can be used with the other DEFY.
Did you overclock your Defy? If yes, this might be your answer!
No. It has never been over-clocked. Just normal usage all the time.
If it can't even get to the recovery (hold volumn down) or bootloader (hold volumn up) screens, there's probably nothing can be done other than sending back for repair.

Hey guys,
luckily RSD was still able to connect to my DEFY even though it seemed dead. I reflashed the PL Froyo rom and it booted up smoothly. So be aware of the chinese rom!
Hello
I had my S not bootunlocked, but rooted for CWM.
I was charging in CWM backup, and after I came back the phone got bricked. The only thing I can see is the red led.
I tried - power button (+ volume up) : Nothing happens. No vibration. - flashtool : it says the device is disconnected.
I can see only the red led when I connect my phone to wall charger and computer. But nothing happens - no SONY logo.
What can I do? Please help....
It became alright after charging.

I think that charging doesn't work while in CWM, so you probably had a battery drain. Leave the phone on wall charger(with original USB cable) for 20 minutes or more, and check the phone again. After you have charged it for 20 or more minutes, connect it in fastboot mode and flash CWM again, so you can flash a rom.
Just happened today, I root the phone with kingroot, then installed XZDualRecovery to remove the kingroot and replaced them with SuperSU. One thing led to another, instead of flashing the SuperSU package, I end up formatting the internal storage. Nothing left there. Luckily I managed to realized my mistake in time, before rebooting the phone. So I download the flashable stock rom, planning to copied via MTP, then flash it to restore my phone. Two hours later, the download finished - yes, sadly, it took that much time here to download 1++ GB, and I still considered it fast - That 2 hours of being bored unfortunately led to another stupid mistake. I rebooted the phone before I copied and flashed the downloaded stock rom :crying:
TWRP only only offers me to flash the SuperSU package, then rebooted. Needless to say, the phone is dead. Just the red LED laughing constantly of my stupidity.
Quick Googling tells me the symptom pretty much the same with hardbricked ZL. Red LED, no Fastboot, No Flashmode. Pressing the button at the side of SDCard slot only make the phone vibrates, show Sony Logo, then blank. Okay, time to get panic, time to light a cigarette and take a distance for a bit to cleared out my head.
That done, I start googling to troubleshoot the problem. Quick search reveal the tools I need to recover the phone. I need Flashtool, ftf stock rom, good cable data, probably EMMA too. Unfortunately, the Flashtool only available through torrent, which has no peers, so I have to look somewhere else to get it. Wasn't ideal, but what a heck, I need to recover this phone.
Once all the tool in place, time to execute. Several guides I've found tells me I need to flashed the stock ftf with flashtool. But even with the cable plugged and constant pressing on the all available button (power, vol up, down and sdcard side button) can't make the phone recognized by the computer. I've tried every combination of cable plugged/unplugged, button pressed/depressed, all to no availed. Desperation seeps in.
Okay, time to take another break, another cigarette, and charge the phone for a bit. Afterward, I choose to tried to work on the phone recovery using linux. Maybe windows messed up somehow with the driver thingy that prevent me to fix the phone. No such luck unfortunately. Linux also failed to detect the phone. Hmmpppphhhh... Back to windows then.
I fired up the flashtool, pressed to lightning button, choose flashmode, pick the ftf files, then pressed the yellow button on the side of sdcard slot continually. The phone vibrates, 3x, I keep pressing, then it vibrates again 1x, but no respond from the computer, so I keep on pressing it. It vibrates again in 3x, paused, 1x, long paused rhythm. Then something happened, the LED turn green, and the windows notifying something happened. The log column of the flashtool start filling with lines, but end up in lost connection with the phone. Its a progress though, so I turned the phone off for a bit, to restart the process again. What I've done:
1. Start the flashtool.
2. Wait till it finished the initial detection.
3. Pressed the lightning button in flashtool.
4. Choose the Flashmode.
5. Choose the ftf files to be flashed, then pressed the flash button.
6. Pressed the button at the side of the sdcard slot continually - using a bamboo toothpick - until the LED turn green.
7. Let the flashing process done.
8. Restart the phone.
Voila, the phone boot normally, showing the sony logo, then the blue wave then it boot to the wizard screen with low batt warning. So I plugged it to a charger, then proceed with the wizard. The funny thing is, I swear I had more than 90% battery before I entered my special idiot mode. Apparently all of that red led period drained the battery fast. So after I finished the wizard, I put the phone on airplane mode to accumulate enough juice (till 9%) then I test to reboot the phone to make sure it really work. And it does. So I turned it off, to charge faster so I can start updating the firmware (I used C6502_10.5.A.0.230_10.5.A.0.230.ftf) and sets the phone straight again.
So that's how I spend my quality time today. Not much, but hopes it can help anyone out there with the similar problem. Cheers.
Very informativ.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I've found it very useful.
seriously a big thanks. thats a lot of effort. cheers to you. even though i dont need it now (hoping i dont end up like that) its still a great gesture from you.
Yesterday i attempted to install a custom recovery on HTC desire 816g. using fastboot command the process went fluently in fastboot mode but when i tried to open the recovery from hboot the screen got stuck at htc logo. After a while i gave up soft reset the phone using hardware buttons and since than the major problem began.
On restart the device screen turned blank as in didn't display anything and the red notification led stayed on. It stayed like this forever so i plugged in the charger and reset the phone again . Now it showed me just the battery icon with charging sign in the middle with no signs of how much it is getting charged or how much it is charged. It just stuck on the charging on and of course the red notification led continuously turned on. when unplugged and restarted it again stayed blank with red led on forever. SO i thought if its a mtk chip i would just reset the device by inserting the stock rom using sp flash tool. So i reset my phone where the led turns of for a second and turns i believe which is resetting it and connected the usb and nothing. windows does not simply detect the HTC anymore. SO i opened the device manager to see if it at least shows up as an unknown device in it but nothing. It simply does not show up. I have tried everything. restarting it connecting the usb unplugging the usb before restart on restart after restart all possible combination nothing works. But the led keeps strongly flashing red. So i thought its the battery problem. I kept it as is with red light flashing it discharged on its own and now when i attempted to start it the red led was blinking now. So i put it on charging overnight. And after all efforts its still the same. I need your help the most. Cant loose a phone now. Is it permanently bricked?
So i have this Xperia S from my sister here, and something really strange is happening with it:
First of all: the phone doesn't turn on. When i put the phone in the charger it just keeps with the red led on but the led never goes green, it's like the phone never finish charging.
Second: after some time in the charger, the red led goes off and the phone keeps in a black screen. If the phone is connected on the PC when this happens, a driver named "SOMC Flash Device" is installed. I read that this means that the phone is bricked but the difference in my case is that i can enter in flashmode but:
I can't flash any stock ROM on this phone. I can put the phone on flashmode, but when i start the flash on Flashtool it gives me a error of Flash aborted and then i think that the phone tries to restart because the green led suddenly goes off and then the PC emits the disconnect sound. Sometimes even when flashtool is not doing anything the phone just restarts itself.
I already left the phone on the charger for several hours but nothing happens, the phone just keeps on the red led for some time and after that it keeps on a black screen. I can't do much thing in fastboot mode because i think that the bootloader is locked.
Can someone help me?
