Accidentally allowed the battery to drain too low... At first the device would boot up just fine and would get to the OS then shut off. So I downloaded the updated FFF 1.4A.zip flashable bootloader, placed it on the device and was about to install it, in hopes of alleviating this issue, but the device shut off after the file transfer, before I could flash it, and now it will not turn back on.
I'm running this bootloader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615093 ...
As I said, it won't even turn on (no green light) when I push the button at this point.
When I plug it into the USB cable and/or the wall-charger, the "FIREFIREFIRE Extended Bootloader" screen and the green light just flashes over and over...
Any ideas?
If I could just get it to STOP FLASHING the bootloader screen and get into recovery I have "fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip" waiting to be flashed...
I had put that file on the device to fix this problem but it shut off on me right after the transfer and it has been flashing the bootloader screen since then...
All I need is to get into recovery!!!!! ARGH!!
I have read from the experts, that you should plug it in, hold the power button down for at least 10 seconds (this makes sure it is off) and let it charge for a couple of hours.

Yea... I've tried that... However, no matter what I plug it into, USB cable or stock "wall-charger", the bootloader screen just flashes. The power button is unresponsive during this. Holding it down does nothing...
I'm hoping to avoid having to do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806620&highlight=battery+dead
But I'm preparing for this last resort as it's becoming increasingly clear that this may be necessary.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Problem solved, new bootloader installed!
For some strange reason the bootloader screen stopped flashing after I decided to try plugging it into the stock wall charger again. It stopped flashing and allowed me to access recovery. I unplugged it and it stayed on long enough for me to install the new bootloader...
All is now good. What is strange however is the bootloader didn't stop the boot process. She booted up right into the OS and stayed on. I plugged it in, navigated to Settings > Battery and it is charging!
VERY WEIRD but very cool!
So for those of you having issues with charging, it's absolutely necessary to have FFF 1.4A bootloader installed! If you cannot get into recovery or the device will not turn on, just keep trying the stock wall charger. Just plug it in and keep plugging it in. Keep on messing with it. Eventually, somehow, it will take enough of a charge to get you into recovery...
My Xperia ion was on the bricked!
When I update AOKP M1r1 Kernel(before i know that has problem in kernel)
it has boot loop
so I pressed Power+Volume up, and then get fastboot mod
I have CM10 rom in memory, so i update CM10 kernel with fastboot
but after i update kernel, and i disconnect usb cable (with no typing "fastboot reboot")
and then, my ion is not reboot, and stuck in Blue LED(but not fastboot mod)
I do everything with button(Power 15s, Power+everybutton 15s etc..)
but notthing happen. I'm in panic OWOWO
I'm waiting for battery drain(before flashing ionbattery is 14%, so hope)
but.. What can i do after drain? it will be going to 0% battery. if it doesn't have hardware battery drain block
damn AOKP kernel...
I have cm10 rom in internel memory
Use Seus to "Update firmware"
it will force install a new firmware and 300mb data android on top of current on, itl replace it, atleast ull have stock again.
sony ericson update service, then update the software itl be sony now,
then update phone, bye.
i see i made some typos...lol
Lots of
i have the same problem
phone is stuck in blue led and doesnt respond not to buttons nether USB cable
what should i do ?
i had 90% battery !! i dont think it will drain soon
the pc (fastboot) sees the device or not? it's stuck on blue light even with cable disconnected?
i think(you've already lost your warranty if you changed kernel, so why not give a try?) you should physically remove the battery before battery drain.
there are planty of videos that show how to do that (il youtube "lt26i remove battery/change battery").
i think that the program that cut off current by pressing vol+power button is freezed as everything else on fastboot mode without responding. but physically removing battery and reboot after that could restart and reset everything.
if there will be no other solutions, i think you should give it a try. for something like 10$ you can get a external charger for the battery, once you have removed it( 14% is very low, maybe some programs will refuse to interact to prevent that the phone will turn off during the operations.)
hope you'll solve it, hope this could help.

Hi guys,
I was working on a fix for my rom. I made it, went to CWM and flashed it. Then rebooted and evrything was absolutely fine. Then I rebooted into to wipe cache and dalvik cache and did both successfully. When I rebooted, my phone got stuck at SONY logo. I held the volume up and power button for around 5 sec but the phone did not vibrate once. It did not vibrate at all. Instead the SONY logo slowly disappeared and the phone went to a blank screen( NOT powered off ). Then it automatically powered off. Then I tried flashmode, no luck. Nothing for fastboot too. Trying to power on/soft-reset/hard-reset is of no use. The phone does nothing.
I checked the soft brick thread . It said that hard reset will lock up the phone until the battery dies. But I did not do a hard reset at all.
Any help will be appreciated.
EDIT:- Flashtool says that phone is connected with USB debugging off. Nothing happens when I connect my phone to a wall charger too.
Thanks,

The guide says that after charging for some time, the red led should appear. But my phone had around 80% charge when this incident occured. Anyway, I have kept it for wall-charging now.[NO LED light appears - nothing just blank]
if charging does not help , letting the battery die out might bring the fone out of bootloop

have u noticed the fone does not respond immediately after starting, even if its charging the led goes blank for a while and then comes back. ur fone might be stuck there

Have been charging the phone since around 3 hrs now. Still nothing. Should I continue charging it or should I just wait till the battery drains? Also, I think that removing and re-inserting the battery should work but I am scared to do that.
Please help me guys..:crying:

I had a similar problem. I rebooted my phone after wiping system, and the phone just showed a black blank screen. I just held VolUP+VolDOWN and then held Power too. After, I felt a vibration and released the buttons and the phone rebooted so I could get back to recovery TWRP. There I used adb to solve the problem.
Maybe you should just wait to your phone completly discharge... And then charge again.

You must have actually pressed vol up+power only. One vibration means a soft-reset. Yes, I am waiting for the phone to get completely discharged. Following this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33032165&postcount=2

Has anyone tried this tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173363

There is a Qualcomm tool for your device, u tried that?

Hello, I am new to these forums. I mostly registered for this one specific problem.
I'm pretty sure the phone isn't hardbricked, but I tried rooting my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 (4G LTE version) with Klingo. After that, it said the root was successful and the phone immediately restarted itself. However, it was then stuck in a bootloop and it just kept restarting itself. The phone turns on, and then the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" logo appears with "RECOVERY....." in blue in the top left corner, and directly under that it says "Set Warranty Bit: recovery" in yellow. Then after about 3-4 seconds it shuts off, then about 2 seconds later it restarts automatically and just keeps looping like that.
T-Mobile said they would replace the phone, and they'll be sending me a new one as soon as the old one reaches the return center. Obviously I didn't tell them what I actually tried to do. In case they're able to find out what I tried to do and end up sending my old one back, I just wanted to ask this question preemptively so I might have an idea of what to do.
I HAVE TRIED BOOTING INTO RECOVERY MODE AND DOWNLOAD MODE. No button combinations cause anything to happen. The only thing that stopped the auto-restarting and looping was taking the battery out. Upon putting the battery back in, it will stay off until I manually turn the phone on again, where it will then continue to auto-restart and loop itself.
I do not have the phone right now because I sent it to a return center after spending a few hours searching online for answers and talking to T-Mobile on the phone. But if any of you have any ideas it would certainly be a great help if the worst case scenario ends up happening. Thanks for any potential solutions!

I have no idea what the issue is, but it seems you might not have a recovery installed on the phone. Try this:
Hold power + volume to go into bootloader (I know you said you tried various combinations, but make sure you're doing it correctly.).
Go into fastboot
flash a new recovery image from (TWRP or CWM) (how to: https://sites.google.com/site/tomsgt123//adb-fastboot)
reboot and go into recovery, then use adb sideload to flash a new ROM.

I have no idea whether this will work, but it's worth a try. Please don't blame me if your phone gets even more messed up than it already is.

Thank you so much. I will definitely try this. I was also getting replies elsewhere that if I can see the logo, I should be able to get into download mode where I could then flash the stock ROM. Honestly, it does seem like I somehow may not have a recovery installed.
If they send me my old phone back I will definitely give this a try. Thanks a bunch! And don't worry, I won't hold you accountable haha.

If the advice above didn´t work (nothing happened when pressing the usual VOL down - home - power etc; this did not work for me), this is how I managed:
I tried booting around 25 times with the power button released at different times. Did not work.
Tried to insert battery when pressing the 3 buttons. Did not work.
I let the battery run completely empty. Started charging the phone and pressing the 3 buttons. Did not work.
I charged the phone full (with booting the whole time....needed to put it somewhere quiet). After estimating it was full, I pulled out the battery, preparing to send it to mobiletechvideos.com (they saved me before). After a few hours I wanted to see the error message so I could inform them. When I inserted the battery, I got the regular download mode! Nowthen, would I dare to boot it since I am not really sure what to flash to my phone?
I rebooted, and now the phone is back to normal. OTOH, I will not try to flash CWM/TWRP again, so goodbye custom roms (Omega )

So basically your problem was fixed by keeping the battery out for an extended period of time? Did you get the same problem as I did, with the phone trying to boot into recovery constantly and failing due to having no recovery image?
I never kept the battery out for more than 2-3 minutes, so that's another option for me to try if they send my old phone back and the first guy's suggestion doesn't work.

Yes, I had the exact problem. I tried to have the battery out for 10 minutes, and also ran out of battery during a nightly discharge. Still I could not get it to work. The only way was to leave the battery out for several hours. Beats me, but it worked.
Having bricked a device completely before, I am confident that your phone will be able to get fixed. This isn´t even semi-bricked
Good luck - let me know what happened!

When that happens and you go back to normal, are you able to access recovery mode afterwards if you want to? Or does trying to cause the same loop? Is it wise to re-flash the stock firmware just to be safe?

I never dared to try. But since I always used Windows under Mac (Parallells) or the fact that I used Windows 7 or 8, I tried to flash CWM on a native Windows XP PC today and it worked. So now I have a custom ROM working which I never thought would happen :laugh:

No that's alright, I just wanted to know if it was something I should avoid. :laugh: I'll use Odin to flash the official firmware back on regardless.
I had this happen to me, what had occurred was that the efs was corrupt. Here's the fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507403
Now to implement this fix, you must first be able to get into download mode. To do so:
1. Pull the battery
2. Wait 10-20 secs
3. Reinsert battery WHILE holding power button and (volume down + home???, whatever the key combination is)
5. Phone will boot directly to download mode, no logo
6. Flash twrp via odin
7. Phone will reboot into bootloop again
8. Repeat steps 1-4 except this time use the key combination for recovery
9. You must now use adb and push the file I linked to earlier
10. Then without rebooting you must flash it
11. Reboot and problem solved
Fixed issue with continuous recovery boot
So, this issue was somewhat perplexing, and while the information shared was hopefully valuable to some, it took me about 2 minutes to
fix this and get back into download mode.
Take the battery out of the device, then plug the device into USB (If you're having same issue I was device will not show charging or turn on when plugged in.) Then with the device plugged in to usb and the battery out, hold down the Download mode combination Vulume +, Home and Power, then simultaneously slide in the batter, the phone will boot into download mode and you can get back to stock.
Hope this helped! If it did, leave a thanks.

LOL Sorry. When I flash the TWRP file it just rebooted the phone back into the Hyper Drive Rom I'm using, did it do the same for you?
Thanks to everyone who has provided information and tried to help me! Thankfully, T-Mobile simply sent me a new phone. However, I'm definitely going to keep this topic bookmarked for future reference. This seems to be a rather uncommon problem, considering I had to make a topic to find a solution since all of my searches didn't give me any results.
Thanks again to everyone!

U r My neww Mirical worker I messed up a Mobile Odin Flash At work today trying to get the newish NE6
couldnt get it to boot into download after the screw up but read this this morning nd after trying everything else it worked perfect
thank you thank you
I'm having the same problem with my TMobile Note3 after using Kingo after upgrading via Kies to the latest Firmware. The only difference is my phone immediately starts rebooting as soon as I put the battery back in. It doesn't appear that any keys stop this and the USB isn't recognized by my computer in time before the reboot cycle starts.
Is there anything else to try other than sending the phone back for warranty replacement?
tim
Yeah Kingo has given me nothing but trouble, I'd steer clear of that software. I'm assuming you have no access to recovery mode? I have had that issue before on an S3 and was able to finally get it into download mode, but the battery being inserted immediately boots the phone up. So what you have to do is 1. Take battery out and unplug usb cable. 2. Plug USB cable in and Hold download mode buttons with BATTERY OUT (vol+, home and power) 3. insert battery simultaneously while holding buttons down, phone will boot up.. After holding down for about 10 seconds phone will manually reboot, 4. When screen shuts off (potentially vibrates) release download mode buttons, then IMMEDIATELY press and hold download mode buttons again (must perform this step FAST, the key is to do it right before the screen turns on if you can.) 5. The manual boot you've performed should allow you to trigger download mode. I was eventually able to get this to work (about 3 tries. ) I believe your download mode is still intact, you just have to use this method to access it. Remember that because your phone atuo boots with battery inserted download mode will only be available by manual reboot not battery insert.
Give thanks if I assisted you.. Your phone isn't a hard brick so Jtag service should be unnecessary at this juncture.

I read on many posts and comments that everyone is able to boot in download mode. My Note 3 just stuck on recovery boot and I can't get it to boot in download mode. I tried all of the suggestions about pressing three buttons, removing battery etc.
Does anyone know solution for when you can't get into download mode?

Hey, i have installed TWRP recovery. It works, i can get to it and make backup etc. But how I can power on my phone? Really, I have no idea. Normally I should just push Power On button, and it will work. Now it doesn't. Phone is restarting all the time to sony logos, then pink led, then blue and power off. Then after few second phone is restarting again and again. How I can just normally power on my phone?

Normally I should just push Power On button, and it will work. Now it doesn't. Phone is restarting all the time to sony logos, then pink led, then blue and power off. Then after few second phone is restarting again and again. How I can just normally power on my phone?

Please tell all the things you did before the problem begins. What have you did last thing to your device? Put your device on charger until your led turns green.Then flash official firmware by flash tool.
Another thing do you able to boot to twrp recovery?
So i have unlocked bootloader (but like 2 months ago) and installed twrp recovery. Actually now, since the battery decharged, because it was restarting all the time, i can do ****. I can't put it on charger, because its restarting after like 5-10 minutes after charging. I can't flash my phone, because its decharged or its stucked on sony logo. I can't use the official repair tool, because its not recognizing my phone. Now I can't even get to the recovery.

ok calm down.Its not a big problem.Just follow these steps.
1. while you see sony logo or when the phone is turning on ( Press and hold VOLUME UP key+POWER key simultaneously).While you feel a short vibrate release the keys. Now put on charger.hope you will not get the automatic turning on problem.
2. Then Download Flashtool software from internet. ( official repair tool will not work coz you have unlocked your boot loader)
3. Download your mobiles official stock firmwire.Then flash it using flash tool.
You can learn about flashing ftf(firmware files) by flashtool from internet.
Best of luck
Ill try to do that 1 step, but I think it wont work. And I have already googled those next steps. Anyway thanks for those steps
Yep, nothing actually works. I get the sony logo, start pressing power button and volume up, then green led is lighting. Its fine for like 5-10 seconds, then its decharged, need to charge for like 20 seconds, and then again sony logos appear. Infinite loop.

The green light means you are on flash mode.the mode is used to flash firmwires.so you need to install flashtool.then install flash mode drivers.then do the steps to flash firmware.
But I can't install anything, since the xperia just restarts after few seconds or just power off, because I can't charge the battery.

You have to install flashtool and drivers on your PC.search on google guide to use flashtool
I have installed drivers and flashtool, but man. You don't understand me. The phone is not charging when im in flash mode. And I can't charge it, because the screen with sony logo can't be powered off. I can only go to flash mode, but in this mode, phone is not being charged. And if I try to flash firmware the phone just run out of battery.

1. R u able to power off your device by volume and power key?
2.OK you can flash stock kernel by fastboot mode.it can be done with a low battery.(may be you have a corrupt kernel)so after flashing kernel you can try to turn off your device by pressing and holding vol up +power key.don't let go any of these two buttons until you get a vibrate.I have never listen or faced this type of issue where we can turn off our device.

You can also try doomlords kernel.it has recovery included.
1. Im not. The only way to power off the phone is just to wait until the phone decharge.

Ok i have read, ho to flash kerner by flashtool, but thats not helping me, since i can't get into fastboot mode. Only in flash tool, where green led lights. And I can't install firmware, because phone just power off. So i need to find a way to shut down the phone, charge the battery and then try to flash firmware. But is there any way to power off phone? I have almost tried all solutions I can found on the internet.

Best way is to go to a mobile shop and ask him to remove the battery by unscrewing. You can try at home to do that if u have tools to unscrew

Do You still have a working recovery? If yes, then You can push a ROM zip to phone via adb while being in TWRP and then flash it. Also, again if You have working TWRP, You can turn off phone via it by going in TWRP>Reboot>Power Off.
You can also turn off Your phone by pressing Power and Volume Up button together. You will first get a single vibration. Keep the combination pressed, then You will get three vibrations. Now Your phone will be turned off fully. This combination will work.
Whenever You connect Your phone to PC/Charger, Your phone will charge, regardless it's in bootloop or not.
But, can you read? I said i cant get to fastboot, cant power off phone, cant acces twrp.

You are asking for help and mirhawk is trying to help you.you should not write him like that.if he didn't read your previous post then you can tell that politely. If you behave like this then no body will help you.XDA teaches us to be friendly with all first.
xDD He should spend 2 min of his life to read the topic instead of writing useless posts. Anyway, phone is dead, there is nothing you can do actually or its not even worth. Close topic.
