Well, after my phone has been requiring a flash of stock FW almost daily, it won't even flash from PC COmpanion or Flashtool with stock. 2.3.3, giving me this log in Flashtool v2.9.1:

thanks

Looks like that error is Flashtool waiting for you to plug in your X10. What happens after it starts flashing?
Edit: Also should be in Q&A section.

Thanks redshirt. I'll repost. I also missed a title. This error happens after I plug the phone in while holding the back button. please respond there.
Please close thread.

Bricked Xperia Play

Hi All,
Hoping for some help as getting really desperate after trying a few things.
I have an O2 locked Xperia Play, tried unlocking with Omnius now it wont turn on, wont charge, no LED, wont restore or flash in Omnius or Identify, just get failed.
When I try flash, it runs the script bit then FAILED. But Zeus is in the devices list if thats any help.
Run out of ideas now, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I think this will help you out:

Also, when I download Setool my virusscan detects a virus, I ignore that then I try run the exe and I get a windows error come up.
SE updater wont recognise phone, PC companion does when I run Omnius to identify but wont run an update.
Wonder if I need to try write a new SEMC boot but my pc wont run setool

Right, disabled VS now SEtool at least runs, asks me for the card so its a start. Hopefully Alejandrissimo can sort it for me remotely. Really hoping.

Im waiting for his reply too matey. since we both have problems on our XP
wish we could fix it on our own so we can sleep

The testpoint is inside the play. Remove the battery and there's i big white sticker, the testpoint is underneath that. You'll need a wire to put on that.
Take a look at this thread from @Alejandrissimo about unlocking the bootloader when locked out of fastboot (in second post there's a pic of the testpoint):

Not sure, but he suggests a wire himself. Maybe a small screewdriver or a small nail or something similar. It prob has to be of some sort of metal?

You can just use a paper clip

how to fix a bricked phone.

How do i rescue my bricked phone!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
well the answer lies within this thread.
how do you brick a phone
well, there are many ways you can brick a phone.​1. you install the wrong software
2.you install a 'broken' rom
3. you install a recovery that isnt supported for our phone
4.or you were messing with your bootloader
etc etc... you get the point
how to rescue a bricked x8​1st: If you have done a soft brick then you can boot into xrecovery and restore your latest backup. easy
2:if restoring doesn'twork or you have a hard brick then you should either launch:SEUS (sony ericsson update service) or pc companion. click update and follow the steps.
3:if none of that works then you will have to send it off to se. if you dont get some kind of phone company to fix it then its as useless as a real brick lol or a replica of a phone.
3:you can use a flashtool to fix it as well. if you open flashtool you usally get a number of options such as unlock bootloader etc. there should be an option where you can restore it. (lol i think)
Cheers​i hope it helped. if it did then please do press the thanks button.

Soft Brick is the common brick we get.
Hard Brick is a brick you can only get with messing with the bootloader. There's no complete brick.
Say something about flashtool too.

On the W/X8 and X10 mini/Pro you can get into FLASH MODE by keeping the back button pressed while connecting the TURNED OFF phone by USB.
That being said, you have a NEO which doesn't work that way.
Your phone has "fastboot" - to get there ... turn off the phone, keep the bottom right key pressed and connect the USB cable to the PC.
What you have to do from there on out is either best asked in the RIGHT subforum or through Google research.

Hummm...?
I only replied to benga_mircea's post from today.
Or ... did I miss something? *notsure*

Thank you for your help, but I can't acces flash mode or fastboot mode again, lika I use to, after I connect the batery, push the back button, insert the usb, a few seconds and the "sony ericsson" screen pops up again and stays blocked. I think I've killed my phone

Well, for as long as you see the SONY ERICSSON boot logo - and I'm assuming from the way the X8 works here - the boot loader and kernel are intact; there's just a problem boot-strapping the system ROM (shot system, bad flash).
The real problem is that Fastboot isn't comparable to the Flash Mode of our phones ... it's very different.
In your stead I would try to find out how you can perform a "disaster restore" (like we do with our W/X8 through Flash Mode and Flashtool) by flashing back to stock.
Anyway ... just to repeat it ...
1. You need to TURN OFF your phone and DISCONNECT it from the computer/charger.
2. You insert the USB connector into JUST your phone.
3. You press the bottom/right button (also "Back"?) and keep it pressed while you connect the USB to the computer.
Once the phone connected to the computer as a (wild guess!) "Flash Device" or "Fastboot Device" you need the apropriate tool(s) and Stock ROM image - in case PC Companion refuses to repair your phone.

Thanks! I tried like 50 times, and nothing, the ennoing "sony ericsson" is booting (no sony ericsson logo as usualy, just the writing) I flashed 10 times in the past whith no problem. Now, even when I put it to charge ( wall charge) the phone is turning on showing that stupid "sony ericsson" writting, I cant shut it down from the on\off button. Before killling it, I've instales stock MT15i_4.0.A.2.368_GLOBAL ROM, then I upgraded to MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Global, then rooted with DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su, Installed CWM( wiped cache, updated SE tweaked v8.5 Rom) After the restart, the "se" writting started booting. I've pulled out the batery, and begined flashing it with flash tool(no green led).The flashing started and my little brother accidentaly pulled out the Usb cable; that's the whole story! I've tried like 100 times with wotan, flash tool and FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick, no result, even if pc companion tells me "phone conected" and gives me further instructions whith the phone being dead, and the flash tool showing me to connect de device... Thank you for all the help, hope there is a solution. sorry for the long post and my bad english...

Whoa... that's what I call a "security vulnerability".
If the flash process got interrupted because your lil bro pulled the USB cable I'm somewhat certain the NAND is messed up pretty good - no wonder you're stuck at the SE boot logo.
If there's no way by which you can get the device back to normal (read: even the guys over in the Neo sub-board are out of ideas/help) I think your best shot would be to send it in to SE for repair if you still got warranty. SE should have other means to resurrect the device and slap it back into shape.
I'm sorry I can't really help you here with this - the Neo is different from the X8 and also different from the way my tablets work.

Thank's for the advice! My waranty is lost, i've unlocked the bootloader. Only if I could enter in flash mode!

Well, on my Samsung, which has Fastboot, I first enter Fastboot and from there I put the device into download mode for flashing (in theory you can compare "Download mode" to the "Flash mode" - in Flash mode the W/X8 awaits a ROM image to be flashed into the NAND, pretty much the same as "Download mode" works).
Since your Neo isn't completely dead (you just have a shot system due to the flash interruption) you only need to find a way how you can re-write the system.
I lack the time to research how the Neo works, but I think there should be a way to get the device going as you can even "resurrect" a W/X8 where you formatted the system partition (by mistake in CWM, for example). However, that's not as bad as interrupting the USB connection but about the same "ooops" to blank the system.

Flash mode not working, fastboot not workingI Tried a lot of programs (wotan, flash tool, fota unbrick tool, octopus, omnius for se, pc companion, se update. Non of them manages to connect to my phone. If only I could connect for 1 sec. I have a backup of TA, but I can flash it. Thanks anyway!

Changed motherboard now no boot logo

Hello,
I am so confused I changed out my xperia play motherboard out due to the lack of touch functionality on two different digitizers. The screen worked fine along with everything except usb data transfer and touch functionality. So I changed the motherboard and confirmed that all ribbons are in locked into place and now no boot logo/ android logo at boot up. The unit vibrates like normal on boot up but no picture on the lcd. The LCD ribbons are plugged in to the motherboard properly. I tired a replacement motherboard and the original with issues and the same situation on both now. Can someone please help. I know this is not a software issue since it was fine prior to switching the motherboards.

Well if its a new motherboard its most likely a software issue..... Where do you expect the motherboard to get the software from? try flashing a ftf file or something because it sounds like a software issue to me

The problem is that both motherboards are now doing the same issue, how can I flash if I cant even get my computer to recognize the usb plugged in. The unit charges via usb but wont do data transfer at all. Is there something I'm missing here on the flash that you are referring to. I have flashed both a G1 and a Thunderbolt so I have familiarity doing it but not on a phone that cant access the android os. That Sony software everyone says corrects software issues wont even see my xperia play.

Go to the xplay dev section and one of the pinned threads, flash tool has fast boot and flashing drivers. Dl flash tool and upon install there'll be a drivers-install.exe in the folder you installed it and run it.

It is not a new motherboard but one pulled from a working unit. Both motherboards (my original working one and the replacement) are having the same issue now, no boot logo at all just vibrate at startup. How is this a software issue when the android os has not been flashed nor deleted off my original working motherboard (the android os is not saved to sd). Is there something I'm missing, I'm so confused. I cant get into MSC mode since the andriod os does not boot, so I dont see how flashing will help.

Try to go into flash mode and flash ftf through Flashtool. You have guides in pinned topics. As far as I remember it was in development section.

any pointers from here is there something i'm missing from this step to get it at least running android, I cant enable 3rd party apps nor debugging since I cant get into the android os

If I'm right then your phone will work now with no issues just flash kernel for Android 2.3 from the same section using fastboot.
Look after .img file.
Tapped with Xperia Play running AOKP 4.0.4 Milestone 6

Sorry to necrobump this thread, but I am having a similar problem. I recently replaced the LCD Flex Cable, but now the screen won't display anything. It can turn on, but nothing is shown. I can't even connect the USB so I can at try to access Flashboot/Flashmode to reflash another baseband and kernel.
Can anyone please help? Anything is appreciated.

Phone doesn´t start anymore

Hey there,
after flashing a created boot.img I think my phone is bricked
Cannot start it anymore / no bootloader / no hardreset.
Evertime I connect it to my PC first the red LED flashes and get stuck at a green LED.
Flashtool shows "no Device" and no adb connection is working.
What did I wrong?
Is my phone bricked?
Kind regards,
Chris

I don't think flashing boot img would hard brick. Have you tried connecting while pressing volume up and volume down? I have had situations with my old Xa where a bad flash zapped the battery to zero, and I wouldn't get any response plugging in the charger, etc, but I would try it with different cables and try holdings buttons while plugging, and it suddenly resurrected and started charging, (happened twice when Xposed N unofficial was first released)...

hmm, I tried to connect in many ways, but nothing happens.
If I connect it to my charger, the red light flickers (red light to red dark to red light...)
or
it flickers from off to red to off to red...
Charging in this state over night takes no effect.
Under Flashtool the green light is on (device connected in falsh mode) and trying to flash a xperifirm-ftf:

Hey Guys,
now I found the mistake i´ve done.
I swapped the file.
Taken the wrong TA.img from my other phone.
Is there a way to get the phone back to life?

Did you try checking 'wipe' boxes in Flashtool? How did you flash the ta?

Yes, tried this.
Flashed the TA manually by adb

What, with dd command? Did you try to do it again with correct ta, or use adb to wipe?
Flashier wrong ta could be a big deal... I know with Z phones it was for sure a hard brick, but maybe there's hope.
Do you get the same error with Emma / Sony Companion?

Yes, dd-command.
I´m searching for my right Xc - TA.img file, but I cannot find it anymore.
adb-wipe didnt tried.
In worst case, I overwritten it by the old Z3 phones TA.
EMMA told me that the device could not be identified.
I think, that there´s no other way to get a new phone ;-(
