Hello again
Sometimes we can brick our devices by a bad unlock, flashing process, or simply bad luck.
The phone doesn't turn on and there is a Red Led Of Death when pressing power button. Even with a GREEN led when we plug the phone with back key pressed the computer detect the phone as "unknown device" so there is no chance to get fixed by Flashtool or SEUS/PC Companion.
Well this problem normally means that the bootloader is broken or damaged. So, in order to fix it we need to write a new SEMCboot and after this we were able to flash a full and fresh firmware with flashtool and unbrick our Xperia.
This process like unlocking process requires SETool dongle/box and a paperclip to make a testpoint to put the phone in flash mode and be able to write the SEMCBoot.
I can help to anyone with a bricked Xperia Arc/Play/Neo/Pro just make send me a PM.
Like unlocking process you will need this 3 programs:
SETool software for unlocking
USB Over network client for remote dongle
Teamviewer client for remote support and guide
THIS PROCESS IS FREE
anyway if you want me to buy a Dr. Pepper just
Sometimes even after fix the bootloader the phone doesn't want to boot. In most cases this is by a damaged TRIM AREA (TA).
The trim area is a part of softwere stored in eeprom so it can be read and write with the proper software like SETool.
Read and Write trim area is very easy but you should know that some sectors of the TA are unique for you phone, lets call it Security Units.
The process for repair trim area is indeed very easy.
For sure we need Testpoint like in unlocking or bootloader repair process.
1. Backup Security Units with this script:
Code:
taread:00020851
taread:000207D3
taread:000207Da
2. Write a Working TA backup from another phone (same model)
3. Restore Security Units.
Thats all, now your phone should boot well but is 90% possible that you dont get Signal so for fix that we need to unlocking.
If this last thing is needed you can refer to this thread:

Trim area repair process is now tested and working for NEO PLAY and ARC
So it's work for 0% issues?

No bro this is for bootloader and trim area repair.
0% issue is about a charging sensor so it can be fixed with this

So is this a yes or no? Does the repair of the Trim Area get rid of the 0% battery issue?
What state does this leave the phone in? Will future OTA's screw the phone up again or is it back to factory build?

Trim Area repair does not fix the 0% battery issue. As for your other questions, I have no idea.
sent a pm to you..
//edit:
whole process took about 5 minutes, didn't need to flash new software, just write new semcboot.
thanks a lot, phone is working again!
i can totally recommend this for people having a broken bootloader
its late already guys ! i sent my phone to Store to repair my ARC becaus of waranty .. i hope they can't repair i want misty blue<of ARC s
Guys Please help me..
I am using Xgin Rom with Alfs kernel
I was playing with governors and overclocking then suddenly my phone switched off even on 600 Mhz with smartass v2 governor.
Now after that I have done a lot of things but my phone is not awaking.
Battery was 73% when it happend.
I tried to Flash Kernel again but it stuck at its logo and not Accessing recovery.
I flashed back to Stock kernel but any of recovery not accessible.
Finally I decide to use SEUS it says Device not recognized .
Also I tried with PC companion, it says drivers not found (notification).
I installed drivers that came with Flashtool and restarted my PC but still saying drivers not found.
I gave it to my friend who knows electronics work of phone.
After 1/2 hr. he told me hardware is safe there is no error
I also gave it to another mobile repair shop, they told me same as hardware is safe.
So now what wrong with me.... Help me guys...
How did you installed kernel without working Flashtool? Try to install Alfs or other custom kernel again and after booting press back button several times, then do full wipe. Otherwise flash stock ROM with flashtool.
If you still getting errors, install newest PC Companion and gg-drivers from flashtool.

I mean to say that when PC says device not recognized and Drivers not found then
I uninstalled gg-drivers then Reboot PC and Reinstall drivers and reboot.
After that it still says Drivers not found.
I tried to flash the Stock Rom with Flashtool. But at the time of boot It stuck at its logo and now no further loading of ROMS(stock or custom).
What should I have to do ? please help me..
Might have problem with your pc. If you could try it to another pc and see if it will recognize your device, but if it the same problem then why those repair shop said your hardware is safe what do they mean about that?

No buddy, I have just tried this on another PC and it says the same.
Problem is with my phone not PC.
Repair shop said that my phones hardware is not bricked, everything is Ok, but the problem is of Software.
I never told them that I have rooted it, unlocked bootloader and install kernel etc.
Now, is there any another way to repair its software ? I am crying...plz..help..
Maybe you have damaged usb-port in phone?
Hardware is ok. no problem. but its Software problem.
I have searched on XDA but no such case or post or thread found. Is that the first case of this type?
But it looks like hardware problem. Otherwise you should be able to connect device to PC at least in flash mode.
I'm too dumb to help you, sorry. 0_o
I will wait for someone to help me. After 8 hrs. I will through it in swimming pool if no one can help me(Because my father will kill me if he came to know that phone is bricked during experiments). So please is there anyone who can help me in saving my X8.
If you can show us some screenshots of the errors maybe we might have a solution for that. If what you are saying is right then it would be really hard to fix when two theory is contradicting. You can easily know if it is software or hardware related problem. Im also confused about it but for sure it has something to do with your hardware. If the phone shop said its ok or safe or whatever you call it, can you ask those person also to help you fix it if there diagnostic is "safe". I think its damage as you were playing with overclocking.
May be you are right ? I will do this and ask them for help.
And how can I take Screenshots with Busted X8. No another camera.Sorry.
I am not into developing stuff.. but
. still wanna help you ..... try other USB wire... might b am prob in it
ok . I will check it.
EDIT:1
I recently used another USB cable. prob still exists.
I am going to repair shop for help.
EDIT:2
Repair shops dropeed their screw driver in this case.
Software repair shops just holding their heads for solution.
They confirmed it as software problem not hardware.
Asking me for giving them 2hrs. to understand the software problem.
Now there is a hope for my X8.
Use your pc button print screen! Download new pc companion and install all dtivers for x8! Its driver problem

Recently repairer told me that by overclocking the CPU beyond its capacity has deleted some programs stored in the memory locations of CPU.
So it will take a long time to repair it. They need a perfect programmer that knows machine language or assembly language for operating their machine.
So guys beware of OVERCLOCKING.
The arm cpu is "hardwired",you can't reprogram a cpu.If your phone boots to screen logo there can't be something wrong with the cpu.(Correct me if I am wrong)Did you test with adb

But after sometime when returned to Stock kernel, Boot logo disappear and there was a black screen with a glow.
If ARM can't be rewrite then is there a possibility of replacing it with same ARM cpu or something different. Sorry for noob question
easy way is go back to stock

Hello, I've tried posting my problem elsewhere on xda without response so I'll give it a try in here. My phone shows the sony logo then reboots infinitely after rooting it and I searched everywhere for a solution but all I could do is get this message on flashtool:
06/056/2015 17:56:00 - INFO - Loader : S1_Root_2f8b - Version : MT6582_15 / Boot version : S1_Boot_MT6582_TC9SP_11 / Bootloader status : ROOTED

06/056/2015 17:56:01 - INFO - Flashing finished.
06/056/2015 17:56:01 - INFO - Please unplug and start your phone
06/056/2015 17:56:01 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
It should be a driver problem but I have already installed adb drivers, specific drivers for e4 from sony website and flashtool, fastboot and jdm drivers from flashtool. I also tried switching usb ports and trying on other computers with the same results, and I'm 100% sure unknown sources and debug mode were checked last time the phone was in working condition.
I tried installing all drivers from flashtool's driver folder as well, still nothing. I dunno if it's relevant but the device is recognized as somc flash device in device manager. I'm using flashtool 0.9.19.0 as I read somewhere it works better for the e4 dual (even if it doesn't for me) and the latest version gives an IO exception error.
Any expert who can help me with the problem?
Edit: Bootloader is unlocked but the problem was the same before unlocking
Is there really no way of fixing my phone? Please help. . .
Anyone?
Can someone enlighten me? Now the battery is dead too... phone won't charge anymore.

Yes I did that, device not supported, and that was even before I unlocked the bootloader.
I gave up fixing it some days ago, seeing that neither sony nor xda helped, and I can't afford a new one for now. Please let me know if you do manage to fix it, as I will check here from time to time, good luck to you.

As i couldn't fix the device,I gave the phone to the service center.they had fixed it .I will be getting the device on moday. :fingers-crossed:
By the way,i found some interesting fact why unbricking didn't work for our E4.
sony pc companion unbricked my previous device xperia E1,it is a snapdragon device.
I think mediatek devices can't be unbricked by sony pc companion and also flashtool by androxyde.
Xperia C cannot be unbricked by the both as well.it is a mtk 6589 device.
Xperia C has an unbrick method using a tool/software called WMshua perfect flash.
https://www.informationlord.com/ultimate-guide-to-fix-bricked-xperia-c/
I didn't try it because i was scared of hard bricking the device.
I think it might work.
plus for chinease mediatek devices there is another tool called spflashtool.
also learn to use the spflashtool .there is a begineers guide at mtkroms.com
http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/02/how-...howComment=1447795342637#c6494565355265496004
give it a try.
If you have warranty definitely get it repaired by the service center.
or try the above methods if you have no choice.
I hope you will get your device working as soon as possible. :good::good::good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Good luck.

I wrongly by mistake flashed Mi A1 rom
And then hit on system reboot in twrp recovery
Now My phone is neither rebooting not turning on nor in fastboot mode nor in twrp mode
If it is a hard brick please help me booting it :crying::crying::crying:
For real? Accidentally flashed ROM from different phone?
Probably just service with box to get it back to normal state
You mean I should go to service center?
Any fix here?!

You need to open your phone and enable EDL mode, then you will need to pay a service (20/30 euros) to unbrick your phone via your PC (using TeamViewer remote control software).
Or try to use your warranty...
You messed up, what do you expect? Warranty, edl or local service with service box - every single one is paid
Try to get help on any 9t telegram groups
