[Q] At-t Xperia Ion LT28at - Soft or hard brick????

So heres the story .... i backed up my phone 2 days ago just incase lol . i installed CWM for xperia ion just incase aswell before i installed an app so i can change my fonts and boot animation on my xperia ion. I downloaded and use "Rom Toolbox Pro" and from their on i use the "Boot Animations" app to change the original At&t startup to the Razr M bootup. and after i restarted it , it worked just fine. Then after i went back to the app and went to the Font installer i backed it up as well as my boot animation. I installed a certain font i think it was " " after i restarted the phone , again, it worked perfectly fine , then after a couple uses of the font i got tired of it so i went and hit restore , i didnt know what i was really doing from their. a menu popped up with all these things checked so i went ahead and clicked ok, and it said to restart , so then i did. After it was restarting , upon booting up it would just shutoff or shutdown or do this fading away power off thing as it finished the boot animation. After the third time i did the " soft reset trick" and it still happened again, but by mistakenly doing a ":hard reset trick" it just completely vibrated 3 times instead of 1 not realizing and it shutoff. nothing was happened i pressed a few buttons but it still didnt budge. and i read online that to let it die while plugged in to the factory WALL charger. so then i did that.......after a few 15-16 hrs i had a constant red LED light come on and then after another few 2-3 hours there was this red LED blinking i guess? it was as if it was trying to turn on or something. but all i saw was the screen come one but nothing showing and the LED staying on for a few then going out .....so as of right now it stopped doing that. and its now at a constant RED LED LIGHT nothing else. i dont what else to do. i have my Flashtool already good to go with the stock f/w ready to wipe data /cache and everything i guess.
and what did i do that ruined the phone?
How long should it take?
will it change led colors so i can flash it?
so what do i do for now?

I have tried a few times but it still hasnt detected the phone in flash or fast mode. app
it would either , when i unplug the phone from the charger and plug it in to my computer it would just do that blinking LED action like it did last time and keep doing that for a few minutes and then back to red LED constant light.
so my issue i think is a bootloop by using that app. and idk how else to fix this.

My method would be having to put the phone in "flashmode" using "flashtool" via when the LED changes to green and thus connecting my phone in and holding down the volume down button.
their is no red led light anymore.......and its plugged into the factory wall charger....... theres nothing on my screen on my laptop , no sound, no pop up , nothing. I have flashtool ready and its awaiting for the device to be connected but sadly i dont even know if its charging or not its stuck i guess with no led or screen up..... its been a day since i left it charging and it had a red consant led idk whats going on now .so idk what to do as of now

what phone is doing when you press the power button? vibrations? how much? is it getting getting into FASTBOOT? not FLASHMODE. are you entering into FASTBOOT mode by manual method? by pressing the volume up button while plugging usb in?

i dont think i should do anything to it right now ,theres no screen but its still plugged into the charger and theres no led anymore........
before when i pressed the power button i would see a red led and then it look like it tried to start , the screen came on but it was pitch black and then it stopped and what it seemed to be that it restarted and it kept doing that. i only did the soft reset where i jheld the power and volume button and it vibrated 1 time. , it didnt even scan the phone or detect as i connected it to my computer, i can only do the flash mode method only. manually i guess......

[Q]Unable to boot into Download or recovery mode

I was using my Galaxy S2(SGH-T-989) normally today and it suddenly crashed when I opened my tether app. Now all it does is reboot constantly unless I remove its power source/battery. Sometimes the Samsung logo pops up but the screen just stays black and the phone constantly vibrates like its turning on. I tried to boot into both download mode and recovery mode withe every possible key combination and it does not work.
I also tried removing the battery and let it sit a while without power and then put the battery back in. As soon as i put the battery in it starts up in the loop again.
running Clockwork recovery mod and cyanogen
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I haven't tried that yet since I dont have access to a wall charger but I do have access to a usb cable and it does the same thing like the battery. I will try tonight.
Edit:
same thing with a wall charger. It just vibrates like it starts up and sometimes a samsung logo will appear but it then boots up again and again.

Wrong forum, belongs here. I've asked mods to move your thread, sit tight until they do.

Sounds like a sticky power button, do a search on this forum section for that and you will find a possible workaround for it.

Desire HD won't turn on

Hi guys,
yesterday I tried to recover the original ROM for Desire HD. During the process in bootloader, my phone shutdown, and I can't turn it on now, even the bootloader wont run. I think my battery was too low, even tought the phone showed 99% (it happened before, even though the battery was almost dead), and it died during the update. Basically, I'm not able to access any feature right now, I'm not sure, if the phone is charging - when I plug it in, the orange light turns on, but when I unplug, the light stays on. Bootloader won't start, but when I press both volume buttons and power button, the phone vibrates 3 times, green light turns on, and thats all.
If you need more info, please ask.
Any help is appreciated, thank you.

You were recovering official ROM from the RUU? This should not result in your device being bricked.
Please try removing the battery for about 10 seconds, then press Vol Dn+Power button and a partial bootloader showing RUU failed or a similar error should open.
Then connect your phone to your PC and again run the Official RUU Setup.
Hit "Thanks" if I helped you. Also click "Donate to me" on the left if u wanna give something in return

Hi, thanks, nothing happens when I push down volume down and power buttons, even after removing batteries. I believe something is actually happening ,but nothing shows on the screen, because when I push volume down and power, and then I plug in the power cable, the orange light does not turn on, while when I plug it in without the combination, it does turn on.
I think that was an official Rom, because I've used it before, and my phone was not rooted afterwards - I did this successfully two times before. However, I recovered it from SD card (pd98img zip copied on the ssd).

Maybe you can try it...just try let the charge is plug in...n leave it be for a hour maybe...don't try to turn on the phone..
After a hour you can try unplug the charge...and remove your battery first...then put it in again...then try power on with pressing volume down+power button..just let see if this time the phone can go to bootloader or not..
Hope this can help..

yeah. I thought about that, but I dont have any desire hd battery here, and I don't know how to charge this one without the phone.

I appear to be having similar problems with it not turning on. when i plug in the charger i get no orange light atall.. if i leave it plugged in (usually within 1hr to 2) eventually it will boot to custom recovery and from there i can reboot the phone and will boot to android. but it does not last very long atall usually about 30mins. have reset battery stats from recovery but doesnt seem to help.
from what i can find online its dieing but can anyone advise on if it will be the battery or the phone itself???
i have just spent $30 fixing digitizer and lcd in the past month. if it is needing a new battery i will proberbly do that but if not it can go..
hope this may help with your problem or any other....

probably won't help my problem.
but to solve yours, download one of the apps that tells you how much battery health you have. You might also get a pretty good deal on a new battery from ebay

[Q] Device wont turn on after loosing all the battery

Hello. I am facing a serious problem. The device accidentaly lost all its battery when it was turned on and it turned off. I tried to charge it while it was off but it seems that it is not charging because of the unlocked bootloader (i unlocked it with freege. i think that the bootloader is mako geehrc). The result is that when I press the power button it shows the boot animated logo but then suddenly it shows the shut down animation logo and it turns off. :crying:
Also it turns on only when the charger is connected. Otherways, the power button does nothing. What I am going to do?

Happened for me few times on stock rom. Connected phone to charger and waited for a 10-15 min and it switched on.

Something like that happened to me 2h ago.. the only change it's i can't even go into battery animation or boot animation.. even i can't enter recovery.. no led.. It's like dead.. more than 15m connected to charger.. nothing happened.. uwuU
Edit: I resolved it.. i don't know why.. at 3h trying to charge/boot it shows the LG logo so i could start up the phone as usual.. at 3% battery.. I won't ever let it shut down xwx

Same issue, I'm terrified of letting it drain completely, my fix is to connect the charger for a couple of minutes, remove it and then attempt to boot into bootloader mode, then into recovery and plug it again, once it has charged a couple of % in TWRP I reboot system and hopefully it will load the ROM as usual.
UPDATE:
I found a solution! Have your charger connected and nearby, while holding down; power and volume up connect your charger to your phone, it should enter fastboot, then just release all buttons and press power one time, it should boot normally.

Need help with dead phone

I have this M8 for awhile and out of nowhere, today it's just dead, can't turn on or do anything to it. I was talking on the phone then it just hang, so I turn off the screen and it went black after that. Tried to turn it back on, boot to bootloader, but nothing work, it's just black out. Any advise on this ? Thanks. Last I checked, the battery is on 40%.
PS. This phone has not been mod or anything like that, just got this phone for a few months so don't want to do anything to it yet. So basically, this phone still untouched with any mod.

Oh that's good then, was just about to suggest that you find Kisuke Urahara and make that device a Shinigami too. :silly:
