Hi , I have an Xperia Play that boots to error messages on Android and when I cancel them more appear all the time , you can't even power off without removing the battery .I also tried booting to recovery using all methods suggested like power then volume up / down / home button but no luck .
Years ago when I got it , I can remember using a Sony tool to update it called PC companion I think but now when I search I get dodgy sites .
Help please , what are my options at this point to get my Play back up and running .
Any thoughts appreciated please .
Cheers .

Attempt the pattern for 5-6 times continuously if u are unsuccessful then a window will pop up asking for ur email password. The correct pass will reset the pattern
Happened wide me as well. I Hope it works on urs too

Pull you're battery out then replace the battery, in emergency dialer dial this number *983*987# after that select erase everything option and wait for the logo to show.
This will full factory reset you're phone and all data will be lost so only use as a last resort.
If this helps I taken it from a thread originally written by " Philipgsm24" so all credit goes to him.

Chainfire 3d does not support HC,ICS,JB and the newest KitKat android versions (Correct me if I'm wrong).
See thread here from Chainfire, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427.
I used it before when my GS2 was on 2.3 at that time.
And why would you want to install it at the first place? All games work flawlessly on G2 anyways
Kindly search and read threads on LG G2 forums and you can see guides and troubleshooting from there.
Goodluck!
Press and hold vol + button and power button until g2 turns off.
Then download KDZ file for your phone and follow this guide explicitly.
Good luck.

When you say you upgraded the firmware and nothing happened, what exactly did you do and what steps did you take?
Also, for hard reset did you try vol down + power then vol up + vol down?

Hi guys , i currently have a Samsung Galaxy S4-I9505 (un-rooted) . Just a few days back , it started to shut down by itself for no reason and when i try to on it again it will get stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy S4" boot up screen and goes blank again . I have tried to restart it many times in safe mode and tried to wiping the cache but it goes blank as soon as i try to press something . Another solution i saw was to re-flash the firmware using KIES , but i can't even get it to work (no LED light when plugged in to charger or the computer ) . I did call Samsung service hotline and they think that there is a problem with the motherboard so they suggest i send it to get checked . So , any suggestion on how to fix this ? Any help would be greatly appreciated . Thanks !

Hi mate,
First thing i would do is a backup of personal data and apps
Check if any of the pushbuttons is stuck , specially the power button
Can you go to recovery , can you go to download mode?
Try first a factory reset and see if it help,if not i would reflash firmware with Odin...BUT if it is in warranty still take it to them and have it fix

Hi there , is there a way for me to do backup without turning the phone on ? since currently i can't turn my phone on .
I do not think that any buttons are stuck seems fine on the outside, but after going through some youtube videos i think there might be something stuck internally ? so maybe i will take it out and try to see if it works .
I can get to the page where it shows recovery and download mode sometimes but if i press a button to select an option it will go blank straight away .
Sadly it is not under warranty anymore , maybe i will open it up and give it a try first .
Thanks for the reply !

Hi ,
unfortunately no you need the phone to be on.
Even if the buttons look fine they may be stock , if you know how open the phone and try to wiggle them

So i just got the official update on my phone , i downloaded it over WiFi and let it install , It came up with optimising apps and i let it continue and then it rebooted ,
However it is stuck in this Booting sequence . It boots into my home screen then 3 seconds and it reboots again and goes to home screen and then reboots again - constantly .
I have now taken battery out and posted here to see if i can get some help in fixing this .
its not rooted or anything like that , its a normal stock android .
Thanks
Dan
No need to panic. I assume yours is the 9500 variant. But i cant guarantee the data in your phone. I even dont know the data retrieval procedure since you say that your phone is unbootable .
If you already have your contacts , messaging and others which can be backed up to google servers, backed up then you dont need to worry, you know...
The steps i provide you is only an outline and you have to read in depth in this forum..
Just enter recovery mode of the phone and select wipe. Refer this forum for detailed
Your phone will be back to working condition i suppose. If it is so, then dont just stop with that. Use ODIN to flash the ROM downloaded which is around 1.5gb to your phone by following the steps . You can get the ROM as well as ODIN by the links provided in this forum itself.
Detailed steps are available in this forum and they are exhaustive so i need not tell more.
Good Luck.

Hello dude. The best option you have to do is this:Turn off your phone. Press volume up+the power button in the same time and voila!!! You will be in the recovery mode in no second.
After that choose the "factory reset/wipe" option (i am not sure about the title) and press yes.I think that might help you. But be careful, you will lose all your installed apps and maybe some data like contacts... It's your choice!

Yes i managed to get into recovery and i factory reset it . Thankfully all my data is synced with google (their not all bad lol ) and it booted up just fine , ran through setup and now i am installing all my apps again .
Rather ten minutes of going through all this than having a bricked phone.
Thanks for the help .
You can also first try to just wipe the cache in the recovery.
Remember that performing a full wipe in the normal recovery also wipes your internet storage.
If you don't want that, then flash a custom recovery and then wipe.
