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 x81st: 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)
Cheersi 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!

Try hold down "back button" without battery then insert USB cable and then insert battery.
When it says to hit enter, that is to continue from the screen (on the PC) that says "press any key to continue" when you are doing the steps for rooting. If you don't have that window ready the phone will only stay in flash mode for about 5 seconds and then it will continue to boot. So, just make sure you are ready with the PC before entering flash mode.

check drivers (install SE PC suite and let it atleast detect the phone once in FLASH mode)...

cannot enter the flash mode
Hi,
I know this post is pretty old, but still I'm struglig the second day now to get into flash mode and still no luck despite trying every method there is on the web.
I've got Xperia X10i mini pro, reinstalled standard ROM with PC companion just to make sure it's nothing with the software or any modifications I made to it.
I'm guiding myself with instruction given here:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Mini_Pro:_Full_Update_Guide
in order to get my bootloader unlocked
what I've done so far:
-installed Android SDK incl. SDK Tools, SDK Platform-tools, Google USB driver package. Not installed any API from SDK.
-put android_winusb.inf (18 KB size) in C:\android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver
-in general- everyting given here: wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK#Windows
command
Code:
adb devices
rerurns
Code:
List of devices attached
43423531315537465737 device
in my opinion meaning it works as it should.
So I turn the phone off, unplug the cable both from computer and the phone, take the abttery out, plug both end of USB cable where these should be, hold the Back button (tried with Volume up too) and put the battery in.
The result is it only goes into flash mode for several seconds (confirmed by SuperOneClisk log) and then goes into charging mode. nothing gets displayed on the screen. Only when PC Companion is on it detects it, than looses it and pops up with a window on how to properly connect the device... :/
So can someone please tell me what I do wrong?
Why it doesn't stay in flash mode?
PS. when I enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu, after pressing the last * the numbers just disappear and nothing happens...
Pls help
Edit:
I somehow got around that with s1tool and Flashtool. But eventually I could not go along the way given at cyanogenmod.com and unlocked with the help of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
Hello Guys
I have a UK Sony Xperia Play which was rooted- using the rooted 2.3.3 kernel Originally and was updated by sony from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 which worked ok before I rooted the device.
I then decided to use another members rooted firmware which worked - Please see here :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145729
I wanted to reflash to with 2.3.2 which worked then I did a sony update again over wifi and after that I could not boot the phone at all it just vibrates nothing happens - no boot logo- I have reset the phone by taking the battery out and it is fully charged and it does work in flash mode but when I try to reflash the rom again it using flash-tool and stock firmware the software says it has been done but does not boot. Any thoughts on why this is.The Bootloader has been unlocked previous to root
Thanks
Mark
You've unlocked your bootloader AND updated Over The Air?

Be careful what ever you do because you can destroy your radio if you use the wrong fix.
I have not had your problem but I believe there is a fix binary made as long as you have done nothing to the phone since you bricked it

Hi
I had the same problem with my xperia play (R8000i), after upload over wifi, my xperia play doesn´t work. i can´t do the fastboot neather the battery charge.
I already made the FlashTool with: R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World.ftf and Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf
The FlashTool Works successfull but xperia play don´t boot.
Someone here already have the solution for that?
Thanks
I have the exact same issue, what's the fix?
EDIT: OK, rather than start a brand new thread I thought I'd just reply here.
Basically, I unlocked and bootloader of my phone and rooted it ages ago, and totally forgot the dire warnings about OTA updates. I spotted someone on here mention that they'd installed an OTA update on a rooted phone and decided to do it, as I've noticed that my Play is really buggy of late.
Of course, this has bricked my phone. When I press the power button the phone just vibrates, and if I hold it in, it vibrates every few seconds.
I've tried plugging the phone into the PC in recovery mode (holding down back, green light comes on) but my PC says I need an S1boot Download driver (which I swear to god I already have, I think I needed it to unlock the bootloader in the first place!). I've followed all instructions, downloaded the drivers and pointed the installer in the right location but I keep getting a message that says the hardware cannot be installed.
I'm running Windows XP, by the way. Can anyone help a foolish soul?
S1Boot Download issue solved: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17497338#post17497338
OK already have this driver installed and can use the FlashTool normally, but the Xperia play does not start, and I can not put them in the way fastboot mode.
When I press the power button the phone just vibrates, and if I hold it in, it vibrates every few seconds.
I have used the PC Companion and Update Service did not work
Does anyone have a solution?
You need to wait for the prompt to connect your phone in Flashtool. When prompted, you have to hold down the 'back' button when you plug in the USB cable. The power light should go green to indicate the phone is in fastboot mode.
Had already done this process.
I already made the FlashTool with: R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World.ftf and Xperia Play_Release_Generic UK.ftf
The FlashTool Works successfull but xperia play don´t boot.
You need to flash the special unbrick tft, it's on the forums somewhere
Fastboot = BLUE light (search button+usb). Used to flash/boot with fastboot commands from a cmd window on a pc/laptop and such.
Flash mode = GREEN light (back button+usb). Used when flashing with flashtool.

Thank very much
Hie.. Guys..
you will find almost everything here regarding flashtool n unlocking bootloader..
-->Even Link to see manufacturing date using imei number
these are the basic steps to go through while using flash tool..
correct me if any where required..
Warning these can brick you're phone..
REQUIREMENT
-->P.C companion should be installed on your computer for required phone drivers. ( i.e semc drivers for usb connection)
-->enable debugging in settings-application-development.
-->download flash tool
http://androxyde.github.com/
-->install flashtool
-->install drivers from C:\Flashtool\drivers (also gordane gate[ggsetup] that are also drivers required)[after installation it would be good to reboot p.c once]
--> on first connection flash tool might ask to select you're device from a list in dialouge box that will appear, just select our x8 E15i(even for W8)
Let us start with ROOTING
1)Connect your x8/w8 to p.c and open flash tool..{donot turn on usb connection let it be in charging mod}
2)now click on the root tab in flash tool as shown in the image attached..
3)wait untill the process is over.. during these the phone will reboot and will get the dialouge box asking for connecting phone or charging(the one that appears when we connect USB)
4)don't do anything just wait for phone to reboot and complete the process.. after reboot the process will go on so wait for the line "ROOT ACCESS ALLOWED" to appear in flash tool..
5)then you're phone is rooted now you can unpluge.. :good:
Now lets go for INSTALLING RECOVERY
1)open flashtool and connect you're phone.. {donot turn on usb connection let it be in charging mod}
2)Now click the recovery tab and leave the rest to flash tool
3)you will see "Recovery successfully installed" and you're done
APK INSTALLER
1)for these you will have to first put apk files of the apps you want to install in
C:\Flashtool\custom\apps
2)NOw again connect phone same as we did and open flash tool..
3)click APK installer tab and wait for the process to be over "APK Installation finished"..
THESE ONE IS TO FLASH KERNELS AND RESCUE YOU'RE BRICKED PHONE BY FLASHING STOCK ROM ALSO IN CASE OF BRICK
1)download ".ftf" file, (that can be kernel or stock rom) and place it(.ftf file) to the C:\Flashtool\firmwares director (to flash custom kernel you require unlocked bootloader)
Stock rom
2)now launch the flashtool and connect usb to computer. (do not connect usb to your phone)
3)click "flash" tab then select flashmode.
4)switch of your x8.
5)select the ".ftf" file to be flashed to your device
6)When the instruction pops up, press and hold "back" button on your X8 and plug the cable into it. Keep holding untill you see that flashing of files has begun(LED GREEN APPEARS) , then you may release it. (plug only when the instruction's pop up)
7)when it's done unplug and reboot.
If you get the downloded file as zip instead of .ftf just rename it to .ftf..
That's all you are done..
correct me if anywere required..
Here's the another use of FLASH TOOL.
its for unlocking bootloader..
WARNING- THESE CAN HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT
Try unlocking you're bootloader only if you don't have manufacturing date 11W29+
To check you're manufacturing date look at you're phone's back after removing the battery..
Or if you have scratched it of or have got another hardware as you got hardbrick once have a look here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700465
You must have flashtool installed with required drivers stated above..
First you must check you're sim certifacte using S1tool
http://www.mediafire.com/?iwnjno9hirpgcm1
1)switch off your phone
2)open s1tool.exe after unzip
3)Select IDENTIFY and then click on "DO JOB"
4)now as the instructions appear connect your phone holding back button untill the process starts(and green LED).
4)now after the process is done look out for " XXXX SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE"
If you get it then you can go ahead.. if you get "NOT RECOGNIZED SIM LOCK CERTIFICATE" then I would recomend not to unlock bootloader..
NOW
1)open flashtool and connect your phone(phone should be on)
2)your phone will be recognized.
3)if your phone isn't recognized then a window will pop up asking you to select the device you have(i.e you have connected)
4)now select plugins/(insert you're device name) and click unlock/run
5)now a window will popup asking you to connect your phone in flash mode..
i)unplug usb from your device(donot unplug usb from p.c)
ii)switch off your phone and now again connect usb while pressing and holding on "back" button (of your cell) untill the green LED appear and the popup message is gone..
6)now wait untill the process is done and flash tool will ask u to disconnect your device..
7)now after disconecting your device, turn it on and connect the usb cable again, let flashtool push the required files in to your phone. when it is done flash tool will have a message "succefully unlocked" and your device will reboot.
u can use S1tool to verify it..
CHECK--- "9/9/2011 21:45:46 RUNNING S1_EROM VER "r8A029""
If you get the "r" in place of "#" congrats..
If "#" is replaced by "R" then its not unlocked..
If you don't have network signal on inserting sim after unlocking bootloader..
Relock you're bootloader using S1 tool after getting back to stock rom of our x8/w8 i.e 2.1 and unlock it again..
How to relock bootloder??!!

i did exactly what u told me but same result
ok.. are you on a custom rom??
one last thing you can try switch off you're phone open flashtool, don't do anything in flashtool, now just connect you're phone in flashmod similar to s1tool by holding back key untill process starts or green LED.
You're phone wiil be identified or it will ask you to select you're phone from a list..
if these also doesn't work then you can try factory reset/delvikcache wipe and try it or even after these last one revert to stock rom 2.1 and then everything will be fine..

Hey guys, need some help here. I have M1 pro European version and just kind of bricked it:
-The screen stays black, I think system is booting because I can hear unlock click if I press the power button. Also notification led indicates charging when connected.
-in fastboot mode the screen is black too, but fastboot sees the device, though the name is different than before the brick.
-In recovery all I can see is black screen.
Now, here's how this happened:
-I got the phone, updated firmware to 323
-Unlocked successfuly with unofficial unlock
-Tried installing TWRP to no avail - The process seemed to go through fine, but no TWRP, just stock Asus recovery. Tried multiple times, tried rebooting straight to recovery from fastboot, tried on different computers. Weird thing I noticed was that write time in fastboot during the process was like 0.001s, which led me to believe it thought it was writing TWRP, but really wasn't for some reason.
-Then I decided to flash fastboot firmware using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...ow-to/guide-revert-to-stock-rom-lock-t3798420
-It started flashing, but during the process I noticed again that all the write times
were super low like 0.001s, which made me expect the worst, and well, here I am now.
It's the first time I have so many problems with rooting a phone. Any help is greatly appreciated, I hope I can fix this considering it kinda works in fastboot mode.
Thanks in advance and have a great day.
Not really an expert but there are problems flashing this phone via usb 3.0 port. If you are using one try a usb 2.0 one.

Not sure whether this will work (it does in some cases), try full ADB instead of minimal ADB + ASUS drivers installed from the website.
By what name does the fastboot see the device?
Hye, did you solve the problem?
Don't worry, it’s only soft bricked. All you need to do is to flash a stock service rom. Something like: WW_ZB602KL_15.2016.1805.318_20180712 or WW_ZB601KL(ZB602KL)-15.2016.1805.311-20180623. The reason it is "bricked" is because you flashed the incorrect rom for your device, actual model is important, M1 has many variants.
Try flash stock recovery through fastboot, relock ur device, then place whatever version of stock rom into microsd,
And last flash it via stock recovery
Hi sorry but how can i flash it through fastboot? I have same problem...

Flash stock recovery? Enter fastboot, connect Ur device to PC
Open cmd command in folder where U place the recovery.img file. Then, type "fastboot devices" to make sure Ur device detected
Then type "fastboot flash recovery (filename)"
Done
If you can see your device name when typing 'fastboot devices' you can do as said above. Could it be dead screen?

Yep, if it shows 'blablabla device' It could be dead screen
Then you can go to next step
Its not a dead screen. You just have a wrong rom/kernal/drives/firmware etc. Its a software issue.

i am facing the same issue but cant gent into stock recovery and cant enable usb debugging as well
any solutions.
Get into fastboot. Hold volume up and power. Even if you don't see the screen it should still go into fastboot. Check device manager on windows to see if any devices appear. The phone should vibrate when you turn it on and go into fastboot.

Hey guys,
My XZ Premium updated to 9.0. Since then I started to have many problems.
Yesterday a messagage appeared: Your phone is corrupt, it may not work properly. It can't be trusted.
Hours later it frozed and turned off. Now it's not responding to anything. The led isn't working and the device manager shows it as SOMC Flash Device.
The comands pressing volume buttons while I connect the USB cable are not working either.
Can I save it? I bought it three months ago :crying:
First, try to repair it with Sony Companion and Newflasher. if those not work return it to your dealer or ask for a repair under warranty.

I alredy tried. It's not working. I bought in a different country that I live now. I can't use the local warranty.
first of all try a factory reset if the phone not modified.
If you have TWRP installed, wipe the phone out of TWRP.
Probably water in usb port then charging caused it
it cant hurt to try have you tried pressing volume up and power together until you get 3 vibrations?

Can you see your phone in the Systemcontrol? If yes: does the device is valid or does the device has an Akklamation Mark "!" beside? Maybe you must install the fastboot driver?
---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 AM ----------
on other hand:
try the Flash tool (Version 0.9.2.5.0) with a ftf file.
With this you can also change the version of country, remove a branding or viversa....
You will find links to the tool and ftf here in the forum

It only appears as SOMC Flash Device. The ADB or Flash Tools can't get access to the internal memory. I know there's a way to access the internal memory. Just don't know which one yet.
It looks like a coincidence. Hardware not be working may be the real issue.
If you find a knowledgeable repair shop, they can clear your flash and install the original Sony shipped OS for a little money. Most of the time this is done from the USB after a factory reset explained by others here. However, if the USB port is not working then accessing the flash needs opening the unit which will cost you.
And then if the hardware has failed, none of this would help anyway.
What's happen, if you press for 6 Sec or longer Power and Volume up together?
