ooofff.. that sounds nasty.
You say the green LED is coming ON for a second when it's plugged into the pc.
Are all the ABD and/or flash drivers correctly installed?
I hope it's not a brick.

Yeah!! When i connect it in flash mode the LED stays for a second and then disappears. I did nothing that could possibly brick the phone!!! I just switched off my phone when i was about to start with my exam. After about 2 hours i switched it on and it didn't boot. And by the way when i press the power button a green LED blinks.
Try to take out the battery for a while and try to flash it again.
Another idea is to take out the battery, and while holding the back button on the phone and having the dialogue to put the phone in flash mode in flash tools, first put in the USB cable and then the battery.
Hey guys!!! My phone is back now. I just reflashed it. Thank u everyone for helping me out

Hi. After I connected my xperia x10 to pc, it turned off. When i tried turn it on again nothing happened. Now when I turn it on, a led blinks and that's all. Nothing else happen. Can anybody tell me what is wrong and how to fix it?
Have you tried taking the battery out for 10 seconds?
Yes, I have, but it didn't change anything.
This has happened to someone i know, after they flashed their x10 it just blinked green for a split sec.
However all he did and you could try this is keep pressing the power button and each time hold it down for 3-5 secs. Do not remove the battery in between, just repeat the process till it vibrates then leave it to boot up.
Hope it works out for you...
It did happened to me yesterday, did exactly what the post above says, holding the power button for a long period of time, and it vibrates and turned on.

It doesn't help. This red led blinks three times always when I turn phone on or when I try charge battery or when I connect it to PC. If I hold on power button it blinks 3 times then it stops for 0,01 s and blinks again. Please help me!!!
Hi.
Had you done anything before it started like trying to root or update?
Maybe it's your battery.... If that happend to my x1 I needed to charge my battery... My battery level was so low that it took about 20 minutes to get my x1 working.... good luck!

I don't know. I bought it in this condition. It wasn't flooded or decomposed.
Battery has 3.2V. Full baterry has 3.6V, so I think it should started on this battery.
Maybe you can try and leave it charging for a while? Have you tried that already?

If the battery is bellow 10%, it blinks red. Then it will turn orange and green when >90%
It changes to green, but still I can't turn it on. When I push button nothing happen.

Yes, it was cheap. I thought I could fix it but now I don't know. Few minutes ago it turned on and now it stands at Sony Ericsson logo, but doesn't go any further. Just standing at logo. Maybe the battery is broken?
I reseted him and now again red led blinks.
I assume you've already connected it in flash mode and run SEUS?

Thats the RED light of death. Its a battery problem. Some people have opened their phones and fixed it somehow. I suggest you get a RMA.

Im not 100% sure but since what you did, did not cause the RED led they should fix it. Unless something you did made that happen. When did this happen and how?
Put it on charge overnight. It should boot into recovery.

Hmm, you might of done something wrong.. Why would you leave it while it was rooting? I dont know what to do. Maybe you did something to the battery. Since you say it was very hot the battery might of overheated and died. Was it hot throughout the phone? Or just the top section. You could always but a battery and replace it yourself.

Plug it into a USB slot on your computer and repeatedly try and get into recovery. Worked for me when I got the red light. When you do get into recovery leave it there a while to charge.

I got red light of death and believe me I understand how it feels.
Good news: You can come out of it
1. Plug into wall charger for 1 hour or so. Make sure the wall charger has has at least 5V and 0.7 A, lower than that can not make sufficient charge.
2. After one hour of charging, the red light should go off (It's ok even if its RED light is glowing)
3. take out the charger and press power + Vol Down
4. Holding above two buttons, insert your charging USB to phone
5. The red light should blink and after a while you should be in boot loader.
5.1. If it doesn't do it again (Holding above two buttons, insert your charging USB to phone)
5.2. If you are not getting it after say 15-20 tries, leave it for charge for some more time and then try
6. Once you are in boot loader screen, don't let the screen turn-off, that is every 20-30 secs keep pressing vol button.
7. After 2 mins, chose reboot option and your phone should reboot, you can see zero battery
Bad News: Even though you will come out of RED Light of Death, the battery will become very weak (Very!!) and if again it turns off due to low battery it will go to RED Light of Death again.
If you have warranty and you are rooted, flash Google Firmware when you are in fastboot and claim your Warranty.
Sadly, I am in Singapore and using US set, so I can't do that.
Let me know if it helped.

Nothing :/
the device wont turn on, the device wont charge (i have tried different socket/desktops, and also different chargers), and i cant boot into bootloader / recovey mode.
Note: when i performed the steps on the internet, when i plugged in the cable, the Red LED light in turning on for about 15-20 seconds, and then turning off.
what can i do except for going to a lab?

You can try this, if you didn't have already:
- Plug your phone to the charger while holding down the volume down button. Your device should boot into bootloader mode.
- If the above doesn't work, then let your phone charge for half an hour and try it again.

When you plug the cable in, you must press down the volume down button simultaneously. Not just only plug the cable in.

Is the LED always on or only when you plug in the charging cable. I may have a slightly presumption...

since the LED truned on i didn't disconnected the cable from the device, and the LED didn't turned off.
i dont know if to remove the cable right now, because if it is finally charging, i dont want to stop it and mess it up again.
so what now?
edit: i didn't disconnected the cable yet. but the Red LED turned off.

You are charging from the electrical outlet, are you?
Just let it charge for at least two hours, it is a good sign that the LED went on.
Furthermore this red LED also known as 'red light of death' is a common issue of Nexus devices. It's an indicator for the batterie not to charge or because there was a thermal shutdown cause by too much heat and you only can solve this by screw off your device.
I hope you dont must go this far. Just be patient and wait what happens after the charging period.

its like before the Red LED turned on for a few minutes..
Did you also try to charge it with another cable? Try again to press down volume down key and plug in the cable.
By 'not charging at all' do you mean, there isnt this batterie logo when charging?
Edit: Try this volume-down-plug-in-cable a couple of time. It may not work the first time you do it.

search "red light of death".
leaving it on the charger might fix it. taking off the back cover, disconnecting the battery, then reconnecting the battery is an almost 100% fix.
Ok so yesterday I had my nexus 4 in the charger at 46 percent and i was about to send a tweet when the screen froze. thinking it was a simple crash i pressed the home button and no visual response then it powered off. now whenever i try to power it on nothing happens. i tried pressing the power and volume buttons. whenever i try to turn it on and i plug it in the red light flashes. sometimes it flashes continiously sometimes it is a solid color. so what can i do it wont communicate with the computer. im not sure what the issue is. is it a battery issue or is it impossibly bricked. i already charged it overnight to no avail.
oh and im running stock cm11 with the stock cm kernel. i just installed it the night before.
im planning on just openning it and unplugging and plugging the battery back in. will this work?
Try power button + volume down for 10 seconds and than plug in the power cable. You somehow must try to boot into bootloader.

It is hard to say, because there are so many reason why your device doesn't boot only left the red LED flashing. One reason could be your batterie which is bricked. Another reason could be a thermal shutdown cause by overheat. And of course there are those little, little software issues that only appear once in five years...

Hallo,
I've got a N4 Stock and yesterday the screen just went black. The phone is not loading (no battery sign and no LED lighting).
I already tried to go to Recovery Mode via pressing Power+VolumeDown while plugging in. Unfortunately only thing I get is a solid red LED for ca. 10 seconds and then nothing.
I assumed that the battery died because of temperature shock since I had been jogging in the cold just before the phone died. But battery change unfortunately didn't help (still the same response. Am I supposed to perform some sort of reset after battery change?)
My question is following: any chances to rescue the phone or even more important to retrieve data from it?
Thanks in advance!
I would really appreciate any help

try holding power and volume up for 1 minute with the device unplugged (it simulates a battery pull) after 1 minute, release the power and vol up buttons and plug the device in. You should see a blinking red LED after doing this, and it should start charging. If it remains on a solid red LED after trying the above, im afraid it may be bricked.

Unfortunately it didn't help. Also I think the solution targets a battery problem. Maybe I haven't made it clear - the battery is already exchanged. Therefore I assume ScumDroid is right and the phone is bricked indeed.
Charge your phone using usb ...for some time ...let it charge and leave it
