Hey guys, I believe I have hardbricked my BLU Studio 5.0II D532U.
It cannot turn on, and the computer will not detect it.
This happened because I accidentally downloaded a new Preloader.bin using SPFlashTools.
Can anyone help, or is my phone really a dead cause expensive piece of brick?
Thanks :<
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 - 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.

too bad i didn't see this thread previously.
hello friend,
I too have the same problem now.
i tried to change the build .prop and ended in bootloop today.
i have a similar message
"16/028/2015 15:28:57 - INFO - Please connect your device into flashmode.
16/029/2015 15:29:08 - INFO - Device disconnected

I tried to change the usb debugging settings through adb ,it is not working.
the internal storage and sdcard are not mounting. :crying::crying:
I think we will have to get help from sony support and the thread Xperia E4 Development by LeonXperiaXC
Did you try out the sony pc companion ? it is supposed to work as my device has a locked boot loader . but it is not working either.

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.

Hi all,
Today I will explain you how to unbrick your dead phone, now that I have a XA Ultra for dev and test I tried to kill it (yes I'm crazy).
until now I didn't searched all ways because my XA was my daily phone and when I asked the community to send or sell me a dead phone, no answers
I tried many ways to brick and unbrick the phone, tried to brick it by not using FSC file, using an old Falshtool, flashing boot.img from an other device (Xperia X and Z5 ) and I always recovered it. In my last try the phone was totally dead, no red light and not detected by my computer but all ended fine :good: I will upload a video soon.
On Mediatek devices, if the preloader is not corrupted you can always recover it. If it doesn't work for you maybe you can use some "special" boxes to connect on the UART serial port and flash the preloader but I didn't find the correct pinout on it and no proofs what will work on XA and Ultra.
Other thing, if someone claim that he found an other way and need your phone (and money), don't trust it until you have some real proofs (some users know what I mean), it's probably a scam to steal your phone.
By following this guide you will void the warranty so do it only if you can't send it to Sony!!
## What we need ?
- Some tools to open the device (a plastic card can be enough)
- The last version of Flashtool
- Flashmode drivers installed (you can install them from Flashtool)
- A firmware downloaded from Xperifirm (inclued in Flashtool)
- One set of sticker glue tape for the backplate like this one:
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.co...4ff8978f9e--waterproof-stickers-glue-tape.jpg
## Step by step guide
1. Follow this video to remove the backplate (thanks to the author): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O5dAljOpR4
2. Unplug the battery connector, pull it from the upper side very slowly or you can damage it.
3. Open Flashtool and load the firmware (remove all TA related partitions), click "flash" and wait until you see the popup to plug the phone.
4. Hold "vol-" and plug the phone, you will see the red light 1 seconde and the green light just after.
5. Release "vol-" button and wait until the end of the flash process.
6. Unplug the phone, plug the battery connector and power on the phone.
7. If it's ok the phone will start and you can put the backplate again (clean the old glue and put the new sticker)
## How to avoid brick
First of all you must understand that flashing something on our devices is always dangerous, official or unofficial things.
Generally our devices goes wrong after updating the firmware, to reduce the risk you have to follow some simple things:
- Don't unlock the bootloader and use OEM tools.
- Always download files from trusted sources.
- When you use Flashtool, always use the last version, download the firmware from the inclued Xperifirm and always use FSC file when asked.
If it worked for you, don't forget to feedback, hit the thank button and why not offer me a coffee
Have a nice day

You followed my guide? Have you the green led?
what should i do if i don't get the green led and can't enter flash mode
It stays at the red light..
what else can i do?
If it doesn't work for you I don't know what you can do. Maybe if one day it doesn't work for me too I will try some more experimental things or if I can have a device with the same problem in my hands.
Welcome my dear friend! My phone is also lit red led. How to reflash?
Unfortunately at this time their no way to reflash your phone if you have that red light flash only
If don't have flash mode or fastboot use able their is not a way to recover.

sony- android- xperia- off
good day! i hope im on the correct thread. i am having this issue on my xperia xa ultra dual.
everytime i turn the device on, it displays the sony logo, then the android logo, the xperia logo, then it turns off. i cant seem to get past through this regardless if i'll press the volume- and power or the volume+ and power. im almost certain that this can be fixed by doing something on the flashtool. i guess i just dont know how to do it. a step-by-step tutorial is greatly appreciated.
If you have why not share it in xda? Probably you are a scammer and request money in order to unbrick phone... Seen so many like you

I totally agree with you, and now you can see fake users who post fake feedbacks but until now we have absolutely no proof about this miracle
Its like videos on youtube with title saying 2017 paypal free money hack, which directs you to a survey site and wants you to pay money in order to download a 'paid virus' even though it says free you still pay for a virus. They are too funny man

F3213 DEAD
SOMC MTK6755 Virtual Serial PORT Driver shown in device manager .
hey there my xa ultra phone is not even starting like its fully dead what is the solution
I know I'm late but, Those who are having problems with green light not showing up:
1. Hold the Volume Down button
2. Connect USB
3. Keep holding the button for 30 seconds atleast.
When bricked, device doesn't show green light readily. It takes atleast 30 seconds.
Thank you
You're the BOSS! You've saved my Mini ST15i. Thank you! :highfive:
Hi all,
I recently tried to install stock Android 6 ROM on my Moto X Play (XT1562) already running fine on Lineage OS 17.1 and broke it. The device is now "hard bricked" - doesn't turn on or respond to charging. Just shows QHSUSB__BULK when connected onto my PC.
Tried showing it to service center, but folks have already given up as soon as they checked it.
I'm desperately looking for some solution to bring my device back to life. Please help.
Update: Got to know about blankflash way of reviving through Qualcomm drivers, but couldn't find anything useful for MSM8939.
Please help!
Hi, around 4 years ago i flashed Android on my Lumia 520 by watching YouTube tutorials. It was working great but all of a sudden after few days it went to black screen, And its dead forever since.
I do have all the ROM backup(which the guide said were very important) and files that i used for flashing like TWRP , Android ROM etc , But unfortunately my device is not recognised by adb so i cannot follow any recover guide that are available here. And Windows Phone recovery tool doesn't even list Lumia 520 in its available devices.
Its currently recognised as "Qualcomm HS USB QD LOADER 9008 COM4" on my PC, Please see attached pictures.
Please give me some hope of getting my phone back to life.
Its been in coma for years sitting in my desk.
Any help if possible. Thanks
