Hello,
I understand much about computers, but little about phones.
I woke up today and realized i forgot to charge my phone. It had a steady red light on the power button and no reaponse from any button (the screen was black also) so i just took out the battery, waited two seconds till the light went off, poped the battery back in and
i get NO response at ALL?
I figured the battery was just dead so i plugged it into the wall, after ten minutes.. nothing. the light never even lit up indicating it was charging!
SO i pluged it into my laptop, and same result. Windows7 doesn't even recognize it!
If i hold down the power button, no responce (even if i hold it for 2+ minutes)
No lights light up, nothing.
THe cable i have is actually brand new, my sister got a new phone the other day and wanted to keep her old charger and gave me this one.
PLEASE someone help!
if u can access download mode try to reflash the rom
I can't even get windows 7 to recognize it's pluged in!
what do i do?
dl flash tool and install drivers
Where can i download this?
& sorry its making me wait 5 mins between each post
Wait, i just remembered. i used to plug my phone into this computer to use the sd card that's in my phone to transfer files to my other computer (because i didn't have a flash drive at the time)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351299
still nothing... is there anything else i can do??
try to access download mode, hold "back" button then plug usb while turned of if u see a green light means u can access it
have you tried to charge about 2 hours or more?
See what happened is, i woke up and the light was steady red.
and the screen was all black, no responce with any keys. so i removed the battery and placed it back in,
now i think i might need a new battery? i tried 3 different cables and boxes that go into the wall, also tried them all on two different computers. absolutely no response from phone indicator light nor did any of the computers detect it.
i tried withoout sd card. no result.
tried holding down back key then plug it in, no result.
If i go to a store around the block that sells verizon phones and accessories ect. do you think he will help me troubleshoot?
Maybe i need a new battery.. IDK. this is really frustrating
If your battery is damaged, your phone will power on with the battery out and the power cable plugged in. If your device still wont power on, it's not the battery.

Is your warranty void?
No, i have not done anything to void my warranty.. How do i approach sony to ask for a fix or replacement?

I called AT&T (my carrier) for warranty service but you can call Sony Ericsson directly. I don't know the number but I'm sure you can find it.
Hello! let's just cut to the chase. I need help..
Couple of days ago I got tired of waiting for the new ota for my phone so I decided to root.. unlocking bootloader went well, installed newest cwm, made a backup of my rom and chose renovate 3.0 as my first rom to try... everything works normal and I update the faux kernel on the rom to version 5b01.. all works normally at this point.. I play games, listen to music, surf the web.. yesterday I then updated the kernel to 5b03.. I went playing dark knigt rises (btw a very good game) and the phone heats up pretty much (which I think is normal as the game is quite heavy and I use wilkyys game booster app). I play about 15minutes and I get the message that the battery is running low, I plug the charger in and continue.. five minutes go and the phone freezes and the screen goes black.. the phone is connected to the charger and the charging light blinks red.. the phone won't start, even when pressing the power key for 10seconds. I can get to the bootloader and recovery _when_ the phone is connected to the charger thou.. if I unplug the charger the phone won't do anything. I search the problem on xda and find some threads about similar problems.. eventually after changing from the wallcharger to the usb charger on my pc (did this many times..) the red light goes solid and I press power and the phone boots normally.. weehee I made it!! or so I thought..
Next day: I woke up and the phone was in charger all night. Battery reads 100%. I load "system tuner" and experiment with undervolting my phone (only -50mv) and run some benchmarks and everything seems working.. I start to download an app from the play store.. the phone freezes and again the same flashing red light is to be seen, I thought it could be because of the undervolt but I'm not sure anymore.. and now I haven't got the phone in working condition.. I have now got the phone in recovery for about three hours and there should be enough juice for it to start but it wont..
I also restored my backup but that didin't help.. with the getvar battery-voltage command it reads about 2500mv which should be enough to atleast power it on?

2500mv is far too low for lithium ion batteries. There are protection mechanisms in most lithium ion batteries that will trigger at 2.7volts or lower putting the battery and its protection circuitry into deep sleep.
From the battery university: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries/
Li-ion should never be discharged too low, and there are several safeguards to prevent this from happening. The equipment cuts off when the battery discharges to about 3.0V/cell, stopping the current flow. If the discharge continues to about 2.70V/cell or lower, the battery’s protection circuit puts the battery into a sleep mode. This renders the pack unserviceable and a recharge with most chargers is not possible. To prevent a battery from falling asleep, apply a partial charge before a long storage period.
If this is the case you may not be able to recover easily. We can only assume something went wrong with the phones firmware that caused it to deeply discharge and now protection measures have kicked in.

Phil
hmm.. thanks for the answer.. last night I got the charging light to stay solid when I plugged the phone in and I was so happy.. but I was so stupid and tried immediatly to turn it on.. it even started and got to the quietly brilliant screen, but died pretty soon and the red light started blinking again.. then I realised I should have kept it charging for a while before trying to turn it on... god damn it..

When lithium batteries are deep discharge (below 2.7volt) changes take place which can cause short circuits in the battery, recharging then becomes dangerous, hence the battery goes into a form of safety mode, it's like a fuse blowing. It may never take a charge again, or if it does, the battery life will be less than before.
Hope it recovers okay however if it really did hit 2.5volt it could be permanently damaged now.
Regards
Phil
mine was doing that for a while. Keep it plugged in, if the wall charger doesnt work hook it up to a computer. it will turn on again...
simple keep the phone on charge for few hours and dont touch it.
Ok back to the problem.. the phone was in charger yesterday for about 12hours.. and still won't show any signs of recovery.. blinking red light continues... I might just have to accept that I have to send it in to repair... sigh.. and I think I have to pay for it..
As I said in my first post I have restored a nandroid backup of which I made as soon as I installed cwm.. so I should be at stock firmware? allthou I can't confirm it as I can't get the phone to boot but cwm said restore was succesful.. next step is to install original recovery and relock the phone, am I correct? so next question is.. is there anyway to do this as everytime I try to flash something with flasboot I end up with "failed: low battery"...?

I've experienced this kind of problem when I drain the battery flat; naturally, I crapped myself like everyone else since there's no easy way to remove the battery like you would for any other phone.
All I did (and still do) when this happens is hold the power button until the main buttons flash white a few times, let go and it should reboot the phone..
two minutes pressing power button, nothing happens

did the buttons even flash??
Try holding vol down + power until you get a response, then try holding the power button again ..
for me the key was to get the buttons to flash white, thats when i knew things were gonna be ok! :highfive:

Tried that :/ won't work.. as my phone doesnt restart with the script.. only way to get a response from it is to press power and vol down when in charger...
Thanks for the suggestion thou.
all right.. quick update.. I have sent the phone in for repair.. so just waiting for the repair bill
Ok... update (don't know if anyones interested..) Today I got at txt message from my carrier that the phone is now ready.. and what do you know.. it was covered by warranty. They changed the motherboard and the screen module (I had one dead pixel) needless to say Im pretty happy now.

Don't you just love it when that happens.
I had a rooted phone and my warranty was probably void. A week ago I dropped the phone screen first onto a concrete floor and I expected the worst. Picked it up and turned it on and to my surprise, the screen hadn't cracked. Used it for 5 minutes and it worked as it normally would. When I got back home and wanted to make a call, the screen wouldn't turn on. The lights for the buttons would light up but the screen would remain blank. Calls and texts would come through so the phone worked, just without the screen. After about 10 minutes of tinkering, the screen turned on and I heaved a sigh of relief thinking all was normal again. But when I locked it and tried unlocking it, the screen refused to turn on again. At this point I assumed there would be a loose connection between the MB and screen.
I took the phone to a few repair shops around here to find out how much they would charge and I got quotes around $200. So I decided to try taking it to the vodafone store to see how much it would cost to get HTC to repair the phone. The guy over the counter inspects the phone and finds no physical damage to the screen and says that they'd be glad to replace the phone right then and there at the price of me losing all my data as that would be unrecoverable. I told him I'd be glad to have a replacement on the spot. So in the end, I guess I got a good deal.
Lucky you !

I had the same problem last night:
phone charging with the HTC wallcharger, alarm set.
the device did not ring: it died during the night.
At first, impossible to boot (rom or hboot) or to charge it. I plugged it on my PC and the red light started to flash. One hour later, it was still flashing, so I tried to turn it ON
It turned ON but repported 2% battery only. (ok, that's why it was refusing to boot)
4 hours later, ON and plugged to the HTC wallcharger (that I verified of course), it was still 2%
After three reboots, plug/unplug several times, suddenly battery displayed 44% instead of 2%
Battery monitor repports that indeed, the device charged for the 1st part of the night, then suddenly and very quickly discharged to 0 while plugged, with no particular app to drain the battery.
During the 4 hours it was plugged and ON, it remained 2%, then a sudden 44% after a reboot.....
What the hell is that???? I've now cleaned cache and battery stats in recovery and I'm letting it charging to see if it goes above these 44%
Weird, I really thought my battery had just died....
EDIT: 2 minutes later, it now repports 46%, so seems to charge correctly. But I need to know what happened, I usually relay on my phone alarm to wake up, and if it happens again, it could be a real problem. Maybe I should flash an other recovery, even if I never had a single problem with it?

I have drained battery, been charging all night with a flashing red LED. No response. Now when I plug it in it still flashes red. When I hold the power button (also power+volume down) the main buttons start flashing white, but no response from the phone whatsoever.
When I let go the power button during the flashing, the lights either go out or stay on..
Any ideas? Thank you!
i charged my phone over night and before i left for school the battery was at 100%. i used my phone to search for something for class then i put it away in my pocket. when in the shop, i pulled out my phone to check for any messages and i saw the green led light flashing so i pressed the power button and nothing. tried the soft reset of the power button and volume up key and nothing happened. kept trying to turn it for a couple of hours and nothing.
there is a sony store on my way home so i stopped by there, since that is where i got my phone. they said that the flashing green light means its low battery. wtf right? isn't low battery flashing red? so they said plug it in the charger and wait a few minutes. waited 5 minutes and nothing happened. they gave me a number to call to get a replacement.
i contacted sony online and they said plug it in the computer for pc companion to repair it and i got QHSUSB_DLOAD driver needed.
what the hell happened to my phone? is it bricked? i didn't even root it or anything. please help.
anybody? somebody? nobody? body? even a little help in any direction is appreciated...
I don't know, but I would keep trying to charge it. There are instructions for a hard reset, maybe that will help. Do a hard reset, keep the power off and charge it for hours.
Is there a light on when you charge, or just the same green led flash?

the only reset i know off for the phone is holding the power button and volume up key for like 5 seconds and it should vibrate but yes i've tried that and nothing happened. even held those 2 buttons for like 20 seconds and nothing happened.
yeah, the sony store reps told me to charge it and it should turn back on. i plugged it into the charger that came with the phone and no red charging light came on, just the continuous flashing green light. i left it on the charger for like an hour and nothing. sony online chat told me to drain the battery but its been almost a day and its still just flashing that green light.

yea... well, i drained the battery for a little over a day... finally that annoying flashing green led light is gone... now when i plug the phone into the wall charger i do get the red charging led light... however, it been on the charger for about 10 hours now and i'm still getting the red charging light... tried to power it up and reset it both on and off the charger and nothing happened...
god dammit, when i heard the sony took over sony ericsson, i thought the phone they would put out would be better quality and support... but, they keep messing up with anyone of their "flagship" phones...

but, i caved in and just exchanged the phone about an hour ago... they told me that if i had auto update turned on for over the air that it started to update my phone and most likely glitched out during the update process... even on the replacement they gave me it has a notification that a software update is available...

well... i asked the sony store to keep me in the loop of the repair for my original phone and they gave me a call.
they said that the repair center diagnosed my phone and the battery became defective due to improper charging rates and duration. they recommended using the charger that came with the phone and not leaving it in the charger for a long period of time after it reaches 100% charge.
alright, lesson learned... treat sony phones with sealed batteries like a baby... i'm not really complaining because the charger and cable charges my phone really quickly, like from 60% to 95% in more or less 30 minutes. although, it is weird for me not to leave my phone charging overnight.
anyway, the update notification i was getting was for apps and not for software... so no ice cream sandwich yet...
Hello,
My Xperia S which I bought in August 2012 doesn't boot anymore. A few weeks after I bought it, I unlocked the Bootlader and installed custom Kernels and ROMs and it worked fine all the time. I was on KA 22.1 SSpeed and Advanced Stock 17 and wanted to try something else, so I installed XZXperience 2 and the Elite V2-Kernel.
Well, after that, the phone worked fine but I noticed some heavy battery drain. Charging took waaay longer than usual (full charge about 4 hours with the plug) and the drain was immense. BetterBatteryStats showed me a Deep Sleep of 98 % while I lost about 15 % of battery life in ONE hour, that can't be somehow. The phone however worked still fine.
So I decided to flash the Advanced Stock Kernel again but the drain didn't stop, it was as before. I thought that the Battery Stats are maybe corrupted, so I let the phone discharge itself completely (didn't take long) and wanted to charge it fully. When I plugged in the charging cable, the first unusual thing was, that the red light appeared instantly upon connecting. Normally it would take a second or so. The second thing is, there was no logo, no battery symbol, just nothing but the red light when I plugged the cable in.
I slept a night and after I woke up, I disconnected the cable and wanted to start the phone, but nothing happened. Still, the only thing the phone does, is lighting red, when it's plugged in. Fastboot or Flash-Mode don't work, the computer doesn't recognize anything.
So...what to do? it appeared after I flashed the new ROM and Kernel, but I don't think it has something to do with them...the drain was also there with the Advanced Stock Kernel. Although I must say, that I often had flashing errors, often the device said something like:
format_volume make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
To me, it looks like the battery has a deep discharge and is dead, but I don't know, what could I probably do before sending it in? If the battery is dead the warranty should still be there, even with the unlocked bootlader, am I right?
Best regards
when you power on your phone what happen?
Ur phone boots while charging,but not charging.If this the case keep ur phone in ur hands for 10-15 min.Enter into recovery while led is pink.Flash other kernel.Else take the battery out charge it,enter into recovery flash other kernel

I can't go into recovery, because the phone does nothing, I can't start it. There's still warranty on the phone, so I'd rather not like to remove the battery...

You could open the phone and disconnect the battery, or let the phone sit long enough for it the battery to die.
This will reset the phone.
Only problem is how long to let the battery die, as there is no way to tell.
Once the phone resets make flashtool ready to flash just the kernel, and use a rubber band to hold the volume down button in.
With flashtool waiting and button pressed plug in to PC.
It should give red led for about 10 minutes then flash.

Well, the incident happened a few weeks ago and after I charged it over night and it didn't work, I left it there for nearly two weeks and nothing has changed so far. In your post, you said, that you had to wait for 51 hours until your battery died but two weeks is quite long I think...
What do you suggest? I think, I'll send it in, if the battery is broken, the warranty should cover it.

Simple fix I think. This has worked for Xperia S and Xperia U. Both phone i brought as "DAMAGED". LOL. Battery is toooooo dead for the phone to detect it..... Use a wall charger to charge the battery up . I used a charger off ebay ($2 including post) that was for a Galaxy I9000 battery (old phone) and used wires and taped them to the battery..... Didn't even need to fully charge it! just like a jump start sort of thing...
Came up with the idea as at work we have to "jumpstart" car batteries to trick the charger into charging them
If you have a DC power source that puts out 4.2v at 350mA +/- 50mA then TRY IT and please let me know.

Well, I have a lithium charger for round-type-batteries, but we're talking about lithium here and if the battery is really damaged, it could be quite dangerous to charge it. The output of the charger is 1A, too, quite a bit higher.
I tried a last thing and took the battery out but it still only shows a red light while charging, so I'm going to try to send it in.
R: Xperia S dead?
IT happened The same for Me...
I was very worried..
I plugged to charge for 21h... Unplugged but Nothing!!
So i replugged iT and watched for 1H.. Suddenly IT Booted(But opened only logo Sony And Crashed!) So i Tried to unplugg and power on the phone but nothing.. No booted!!
So after 25m iT rebooted and like a furet i dropped my phone from The table and like a crazy tried to go in recovery.. So it Gone in Recovery i've Wiped ALL And Reinstalled Fw-Kernel.
So now i'm using The Xperia S

Thank u sooooo much buddy..
i got enough knowledge by this link, but i tried different tweak method to get my phone back with help of this link which you suggested..
So Wednesday my wife dropped my Xperia Play (r800x) in a vat of chicken broth. She did NOT turn it off but she put it in a bag of Rice. About 3 hours later I found out about it and immediately pulled the battery and put it back in the bag. (4:00 PM July 3)
12:00 PM July 5. I take the phone out of the rice bag. Using alcohol pads I lovingly clean all exposed surfaces of the phone and squeeze some in to each button and press it multiple times to clean out any remaining gunk.
After doing this and letting it sit for 5 minutes to let the alcohol evaporate, I put the battery back in and pressed the power button. 1 short vibration and then NOTHING.
I connected it to my PC via flashtool and re-flashed the stock firmware disconnected and powered on. 1 short vibration and then nothing.
I connected to the SE update service and was told that I had modified software and it couldn't install. So I connected back to flashtool and relocked my bootloader. Connected back to SE update service and was told I had the latest software so I used it to RE-install. Powered on phone and Voila! short vibration followed by nothing. This is where I stand now.
It would appear that I can boot in to both flashtool AND fastboot, but I cannot power on the phone.
No LED's are lit when I press the power button nor when I plug it in.
I do however have a green LED in flash mode and a blue one in Fastboot.
If I don't boot to one of those and connect to my computer it is recognized as a sony media device. after a few minutes the device disconnects and reconnects to my computer. I can't see it in "My Computer" but I know because windows makes the device connected sound and the device disconnected sound.
What next? It's back in the rice bag until I get a better idea.
Maybe battery is faulty. Does it have charging animation when you plug it to wall charger?

I haven't actually tried it in a wall charger but I have tried it with both the extended battery that was in it as well as the original OEM battery.
I'll try plugging it directly in to the wall next.
Thanks.
It's plugged in directly to the wall using the actual Sony charge/sync cable. Still nothing. No charging animation. But I do have a Red LED.

Actually, i tought it was battery fault, but you test it with second battery, so i don't think battery is the problem.
Power it normally with power button (and get that single vibration), then, when you connect it to PC, is it in fastboot or flashboot mode? Maybe back or search key is stuck (short-cutted, so it's like always pressed)

Tried that:
"Device Connected with USB debugging off"
"For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode."

That message is just because you flashed stock firmware. But it means it start to boot normally.
Unless you know how to open phone and clean it inside, it's maybe better to go service. Good news is that is working (partially) and maybe only flex cable is damaged/short-cutted
I would highly recommend to take apart the phone have all the pieces in a bag of rice for 24 hours.... let it absorb all the junk, or at the least take it apart and use aclohol pads to clean it all up... then let it sit and air out for a while, the reassemble... retest.
Maybe try taking it apart and look for something that might be damaged

Re-House Your Xperia Play : Things to Know
Update: sorry ozzmanj1 didn't see your post
I am having a similar problem
On Wednesday, instead of making chicken I was helping a friend move on a nice, hot day. I was sweating like a filthy pig and my phone was in my pocket and would not turn on when I tried to do so. That night I really didn't know what was wrong and the next morning I tried to turn it on and the red LED would flash 3 times in succession. I looked this up and they said "dead battery." Sure enough, I charged it and it took a minute for the LED to turn on, and as it charged it was red, then orange, then green. But even once fully charged, when I tried to turn it on it would only vibrate, but no screen action whatsoever. Note: the battery was at around 60% when the phone quit responding. The next morning it was dead. I have had the phone for a year now and the battery will last me at least 2 days if I don't play games and such.
The next morning, when using the flashtool it would go into blue LED'd fastboot and green LED'd flash mode. I flashed the original 2.3.3 firmware and still nothing. I used PC Companion and it said "Problem: The phone/tablet contains modified software that cannot be updated. Details: Sony Update Engine failure (error 2003)." I contacted Sony and I am still awaiting a response. So, on friday I'm ready to take this turd into the Verizon shop and I turn it on and wait about 30 seconds and I get the SE logo. It loads just fine. I set it up and try to update, but it won't allow me. I'm thinking, great, I'm stuck with 2.3.3... until I turn the screen off and try to turn it back on. And again, nothing. No response. So I'm thinking I will bring it in Saturday. I re-lock the bootloader in some attempt to hide that I rooted the phone, and flashed the 2.3.3 again. Note: I rooted my phone in December and have had no problems. I didn't flash any ROMs or Kernels. I am a simple man.
Saturday morning, after my phone has been off for 10 hours, it turns back on again. Same thing happens. Also, I spent a while on Thursday, Friday, and today trying to research and solve this problem. My brain hurts. But alas, I only had it off for 3 hours and it turned back on, and it did the same damned thing when it turned off. It simply doesn't turn back on. I don't know if it's the screen, or if there is moisture under there, and I haven't researched taking it apart yet. Any advice? Sorry if I'm butting in on your post, but your problem is so close to mine aside from my phone actually coming back to life, partially.

Ryan I think you're as screwed as I am. Still I wouldn't expect your phone to be ruined by Butt Sweat. Yeah, putting your phone in your hip pocket to help someone move is a bad idea but I would expect Mechanical damage, not moisture damage.
At this point I'm thinking of just putting it up on Ebay as As is/For parts to see what I can get out of it. It's painful to think of giving up my sweet playstation phone but looking at it logically, in the year that I had it I only used the playstation controller 4 times.
The question I have is how to be sure that all of my personal data is off the phone since I can't boot it to verify.

Since you manage to flash stock firmware, all data is erased. Erase sd card on pc with some adaper, if you want to sell that sd card along your parts

Yeah, I figured it was mechanical, but I have a heavy duty trident case and I'm only assuming it was the butt sweat. This morning I tried to turn it on and nothing happened, so I said screw it and brought it back to Verizon. My main fear of bringing it back was them seeing that it was rooted and not being able to swap it out. But alas, the guy behind the desk just processed it, dropped my phone on the floor, hahaha, then set it up for me to get a replacement. It is under a year that I have had it, and I'm only paying for expedited shipping. I wish you the best of luck.
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!
You need to open it and replace ribbon connecting dispay with board.
I fallen with my phone to river (look for my posts she is alive after swimming), I removed battery on site by stripped down after back home. For me that ribbon started falling appart. I had same symptoms, pushed power button and feeling vibration, sometimeswhen reconnected I had whole white screen.
Bought that ribbon on e-bay, replaced and all working fine.
Good luck!!!
