Hey everyone i kinda fixed my power problem, i'm currently using a small pin to turn my phone on but now i have another problem. My phone only vibrates and then the screen does nothing. Like i said i have only just put a new flex cable in. Also when i plug my phone into a laptop, it keeps connections and disconnected. CAN ANYONE HELP? The phone will power on but nothing happens with the screen and it wont stay connected to the computer
Download flashtool and when you have downloaded flashtool install the drivers in the flashtool folder and download a ftf file for your phone and put it in flashtool folder then firmwares then open flashtool and press the flash icon then press flashmode and select your ftf file then press flash then follow the instructions.

Open flashtool and hold the back button while plugging in your phone and it should say phone connected in flash mode

Im trying this right now but nothing is happening, it is just telling me to unplug in and do the steps and thats it. Am i doing anything wrong? I have installed all the drivers and using a .ftf file. The phones screen is doing nothing and it has a orange light when the usb is plugged in.
Do not connect your phone then press the flash icon then select your ftf file then press flash and it will say preparing files for flashing you should then get a message showing up and press back while plugging in phone

I think i know what the problem is, my debugging mode is not on, do you know how i can turn it on without using the phone?

Debugging mode have nothing with your problem. It only means that you didn't entered in flashmode.
I think you have problem with flex cable, maybe you should reopen your Play and check flex cable again.
Try to hold search when plugining in phone, flashtool should report that you are in fastboot mode. If flashtool again report error (that "debugging not on") it means that maybe your keyboard is not working. Or flex. Or both.
But make sure you also try different usb cable and/or different usb port on motherboard (mainly back ports, sometime front ports can be jirky for unknown reason)

my xperia play r800i wont boot, it show signs of charging e.g blinking red light, red light, amber light, green light but wont boot, when i remove the battery and re insert it it will vibrate and then nothing, not even the backlight turns on just a black screen, i cannot get it to go into fastboot mode strangely so i am unable to unlock the bootloader and therefore unable to flash it back to stock, if some-one could point me to a video guide on how to get it to go to fastboot mode. with the pc companion tool it first saw it as "null" device but after updating it to latest firmware through it it reconises it as an r800 xperia play yet i am unable to browse files at all on it. i have also re updated it through update service but again nothing. this phone is out of warranty so that isn't an option. if anyone could help it would be awesome.

just to be clear to put it into fast boot mode i have attempeted the following
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, hold search and power simltaniously, nothing
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, press power until vibration while holding search, nothing
remove battery, hold search, reinsert battery still holding search, hold power button while still holding search, nothing
remove battery, wait 5 seconds, reinsert battery, hold search, insert usb, begins charging... no blue light
it shows no sign of charging after i "turn it on" the light goes out but i know that the front plate, i.e screen,menu buttons is not completely unresponsive as if i hold the return button when i insert the usb it recognizes it different as i was trying to flash it earlyer and it is required in the updating process, please help
it seems if i leave it plugged in via usb it will randomly disconnect and reconnect from the computer and yes pc companion will say that the device is detected every time. its almost as if it is stuck in an invisible and very fast bootloop as it disconnects and reconnects at about 5 second intervals, this only happens after it has been "turned on"
it also appears that the battery drains very rapidly as after only a few minuets of removing battery holding power ect. it will no longer "turn on" and no light will turn on through a usb socket but when plugged into the wall after a short pause it shows the amber charging light. could this be a battery problem? con the xperia play normally boot off wall power without a battery? if so then it is the devices problem as mine cannot but if it cant normally then maybe its the battery, i have a new one ordered and will arive soon and i will keep you posted.

I've got the exact same issue, but i know how you could get into flashmode or fastboot mode.
Pull the battery out and insert the usb cable (when connected to the Pc of course) and put the usb cable in the phone while holding either back or the search button. Nownit should be in the sepected mode

Does your flashmode stop after a little bit of time? It does on mine, that's really strange

Try to get into fastboot mode with that method i told you above. Then try to unlock your bootloader.
Pull battery out -> insert usb cable first in computer -> connect it to the Play while holding the search button -> put the battery in while still holding the search button -> then you can release the button and you should be in fastboot mode.
That's at least how it worked for me. I then flashed new software. Mine can boot to the kernel where it then shows an image and shuts down. No matter what kernel/rom I am trying.

If at first you don't succeed... Hold the power and vol+ until the Phone vibrates then it should power down, then try again.

Hold the power and vol+ for 3 or 4 seconds, if it doesn't vibrate a few times and power down then you'll need a service centre.
Take the battery out for 1 minute
I have tried to hold the vol for more than 5 seconds but the phone does not vibrate to power off..it can be on only until the light showed up..I'll try taking the battery...
The phone still behave the same..what should i do? i have taken out the battery for 1 minute..
Just put PC Companion/Sony Update Service in repair mode and when asked, connect the phone by holding Volume Down and plugging USB cable...

Thanks for your thread.
But I spent hours now, to find a method to reanimate my phone. Still I didnt find a suitable semc package or sin_file_set to flash in s1tool.
In other thread I read a hint that maybe I destroyed my trim area. First of all I made a backup of trim area with backupTA program. The backup is a .zip file or .img file. Is there a possibility to restore my phone?

Hi there,
I believe I hard bricked my phone as well (screen stays black, phone vibrates once when keeping the power button pressed, cant get into recovery, volume down button pressed connecting via USB shows green red light flash).
However when connecting to the S1 tool Emma from Sony it detects the phone (see below screen shot) and says the bootloader wasn't unlocked. I am pretty sure I have done this. (It is my first attempt to install a custom ROM).
The S1tool in the description below seems not to recognize the device.
After ploughing through some threads and reading about opening the device looking for test points I thought your thread here seems to be more fit for purpose.
I used EasyRootTool and LockedDualRecovery. I also created a back up file with Backup-TA before bricking it. I got this on my other machine and can attach this if needed tomorrow.
Some help and guidance would be very much appreciated.

Another point: in flashtool you can also unlock and lock the bootloader BLU button). (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440597) (http://xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/46-sony-xperia-z1-compact-d5503) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081) (Type in phone *#*#7378423#*#* and go to Service Info => Configuration. If bootloader is unlocked it will say: "Bootloader unlocked: Yes". If it says something else like "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes", it means the bootloader is locked.). So you can check, if your bootloader is really unlocked

I dont believe, that your phone is ahrdbricked. It seems to be a soft brick: screen stays black, phone vibrates once when keeping the power button pressed, cant get into recovery, volume down button pressed connecting via USB shows green red light flash.
So, you can boot in flashmode. Use flashtool (latest version 9.18), its a powerful tool. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658952) (http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/09/0...allows-you-to-download-xperia-firmware-files/) (http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php) If you have installed flashtool, change to the flashtool folder (C:\flashtool), then drivers, execute the .exe and choose the drivers (fastboot, flashmode and for phone model), then run flashtool. In the links above you can see how to use it. Just boot your phone in flashmode (volume down and usb connecting, run flashtool, click the flash button, choose flashmode and choose a stock rom (which you must download before and copy as .ftf file in the folder firmware in flashtool folder, or type the button device, checkdevice updates, choose your device and download a appropriate stock rom ), then reboot, root yout device again with easyroottool or newroot, reboot in recovery and flash a custom rom. I think it should be possible.

Connect when the flashtool tells you to.

If the led turns green for a second flashmode works, so you're doing something wrong.
Have you turned off the phone before?
USB debugging is irrelevant for entering flash mode.
Could also be a matter of drivers not installed? There are flashmode-specific drivers. There is a folder in Flashtool's folder called "drivers". You can install from there. Choose the Flashmode driver from the list, and also (maybe optional) the one from the list that is for your phone. The fastboot one wouldn't hurt either.
If you are running Windows 8, it may refuse to install these drivers. You can get around that easily... more info about it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378530
You probably already know this but I just want to mention it, for the sake of covering all bases..
the screen doesn't turn on when your in flashmode, it stays black.
The led should stay on but the screen doesn't.
I have the very same problem. Nothing helps. I have tried win7, 8 with no luck. bypassed the problem by creating own flashable zips
