Good evening, I'm living the same thing. In my case, it's the XA1 G3123, but the problem it's the same. The only thing I could see was the red led...
I've tried Emma, Flashtool, Xperia Companion, and none of them recognized the device. Do you know if Is there any software that see a device aparently dead?

It's sad that this forum has 4 billion members and no one could help ? I wished that if someone on this forum could confirm that the phone is completely dead or what?
Anyway. I bought a new iPhone and that android junk is still in the drawer ?

First, make sure you have the drivers (flashtool and fastboot) installed.
Then download the ROM corresponding to your XA1, it can be by Flashtool or Xperifirm.
Also have at least 20% battery.
With all of this, with XA1 turned off, open Flashtool,
click the lightning button,
choose Flashmode,
select the downloaded ROM (ftf),
click Flash,
as soon as Flashtool prompts you connect to the PC by pressing the volume button at the same time
(can not remember if it is volume - or volume +, the important thing is that the notification light turns green)
and wait for the process to finish.
It works most of the time.

Thanks for the instruction. I did this . but it didn't work, when I press flash a window pops up showing animated "press volume downd and connect your phone to the PC but when I do that nothing happens. the LED light stays red when connection the USB cable. it does not go to flash mode.
I had also tried volume up but that didn't works either.
the phone seems not able to go to flash mode neither fastboot mode.
I also tried removing the battery, press volume down , connect the usb cable then connect the battery back but didn't works.
I tried pressing both volume up and down then connect the usb cable with the battery connected and disconnected but that didn't work either.
I have tried so many combinations buttons with battery in and out. but didn't work.
there's always steady red LED on when connecting the usb cable to pc or to the charger.
I checked all drivers installed correctly. but the problem is the phone does not go to fastboot neither flash mode.

I also don't know more what to do, because none of the buttons or its combinations result in something beyond the same red led. I've installed the usb vcom preload drivers, MTK 67xx drivers and I also tried to desconect the battery and once again changes nothing.
The only thing that happens is the device connecting and disconnecting every 30 seconds in the hardware manager, and no programms or flashers like Flash Tool recognize the smartphone.
If anyone could give any ideas would be helpful, considering my knowledge in cell phones hardware is very low.

https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/
hld power and vol up, device vibration once, keep holding, release buttons when vibrated three times
phone shut down, no more led
plug usb in pc, not mobile, hold volume down and plug in mobile too after you launched emma
https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/flash-tool/
emma will detect your device in flashmode and offer you a rom to download and flash, problem solved
maybe not the latest rom for your country but the most common for the device to unbrick

Hi,
No, it's not a battery problem, don't change it, that's not the solution... I have the same problem with my XA1 G3121, and I buy a new battery the last week, but nothing change, my phone is always blocked ... the red light stay red when i connect the phone to the PC (or when I connect it to the charger), and directly off when i disconnect it, but the problem stay the same,I can't change the red light in green or blue...
Sorry for my poor English, I'm french and I know sometimes it's difficult to understand my english...
I will see if I can test the Test point because it's the last than I don't test to ressucite my XA1.
If you find a solution to ressucite it, please write me how you do please...

I know this is a old thread but people you must understand, what happened is that your Sony phone disconnected while flashing the boot.img (so now the phone has no software at all! ) No rom is easy fix, but no bootloader (boot.img) you are sol
These phones have a tendency to do this if you chose the wrong settings before flashing.
So basically you have a lifeless brick (the phone doesn't know it's a phone) that's why it doesn't do nothing but have a red light, the only FIX is JTAG jtagging the device or to swapp the motherboard i have a xa1 ultra from 2018 i bricked, 4 years later i bought a motherboard and swapped it and voila back up and running.
So please flash and root responsibly most soft bricked can be fixed but when you delete the boot.img, only JTAG can save you good luck!!

[Q]Flashmode with Xperia Play 800a

Hi, I was wondering if my phone is capable of entering flash mode.
I have a Xperia Play 800a phone, from Rogers
Additional Info:
Tried Gingerbreak initially to root, not knowing it wouldn't work
Moved on to FlashTools, to attempt flashmode
Then to Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 20.09.2012].
Afterwards, I think the option to root (zergRush) using Flashtools got enabled, clicked that, phone got rooted
Busy Box v1.19.0 installed
Android version: 2.3.4
Build number: 4.0.2.A.0.42
Baseband: -56
Kernel: 2.6.32.9.-perf
Root Access Allowed
Using FlashTools:
I've read multiple threads of how to get into flash mode (Unplug your device, power off the device, hold back button or home button (also tried pressing button consistently), I've tried pretty much every button, and then plugged in the USB cable. I even took my battery out for 5-10 seconds, still no luck.
Once I plug my USB cable back in to my phone, while still holding back button or search button, the Sony Ericsson screen pops up, I get a dundun sound from the PC, then my light turns green and the phone begins charging, no flashing/action from FlashTools begins.
This is the message I received from FlashTools
28/022/2012 17:22:09 - INFO - Device disconnected
28/027/2012 17:27:36 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
28/027/2012 17:27:36 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Another method I attempted was going into SDK tools folder, opening cmd in the platforms-tools, using the command "adb reboot-bootloader" and it just restarts my phone normally.
fastboot commands don't work either
I've checked my phone to make sure I'm in Mass storage mode, and USB Debugging is enabled.
I visited this site as well http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Entered this number into my phone
*#*#7378423#*#*
Looked under Configuration
Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No
Could this possibly mean phone isn't able to enter flashmode?

Im assuming you have the xperia play drivers installed. You can enter flashmode but you cant enter fastboot mode thats disabled because your bootloader is locked. To enter flashmode power off your xperia play (without removing the battery). As soon as your xperia play is off press and hold the back button and connect the usb cable to the pc before the xperia play boots up. If you look at the power button it should have the color green=flashmode thats what you should be looking for. Blue is fastboot mode these are indicators what mode your xperia play is in. You need green for flashmode.

When you say Xperia play drivers, what exactly are you referring to?
And yes I do follow those steps of turning off the phone, and holding the back button, and plugging the USB cable. The light still stays green, no matter what I do.
Maybe I'm missing those Xperia play drivers?

Yeah, USB debugging and allow unknown sources are ticked off, I guess I'll have to pay for it if I want it unlocked -__-
Thanks for the help though

[Q] Flash mode not working properly.

So after my comedy of errors that was my playing around yesterday, I got my phone working again. Now I want to try again (and quit before the point that I broke it yesterday). However in fixing it I upgraded to 253 firmware, and I want to go back to 434. however I open up FlashTool get my ftf ready to flash, turn the phone off. Next step is volume down and plug in the USB cable, but instead of the light coming up green, it flashes green then immediately red (or possibly vice versa) then the light goes off, but FlashTool still thinks it's connected and in flash mode until I remove the cable. The battery has been a little bit drained through all of this. so I'm going to pump it up overnight and try again in the morning and hope that it just won't enter flash mode under X% battery, but if that's not the case has anyone ever run into this previously? or have any suggestions?
I have a locked bootloader, and it cannot be unlocked so fastboot options are out of the question. However it is worth noting that when I hold the volume up and plug in the USB cable, the blue light does stay on and I can gather info using FlashTool.

U want to flash 434 back right? So u need to enter flash mode which is volume up + connect to PC.

Volume up does fastboot, volume down does flash mode. When I hold volume down the problem is the LED flashes Green, then immediately red then turns off and then will not continue flashing.

Can you tell me how did you solve the problem? Because right now I'm having the sam thing on my ZL... I'm trying it with the newst flashtool, the light is green and turns into red and nothing happens...
Do a hard reset on it (using the button on the back), don't turn it on and follow the Flashtools flashing process
1.- Open Flashtools
2.- Flash mode > Flashmode > Select the FTF you just downloaded (The one of 700+MB) > Flash
3.- Connect your Phone in Flash mode (It will start flashing).
4.- Boot your phone and you're ready to go.
When selecting the FTF just select it and leave everything as it is and make sure that you have installed the drivers for flashing (
They are where found you installed Flashtools
In a folder called Drivers, open the .exe and Install these:
- Fastboot drivers
- Flashmode drivers
- Xperia Z and SO-02E drivers
If stills doesn't works I can't help any far as that, but I would suggest you that If you are able try to flash it on another computer (It might sound silly but It could actually work ), also make sure that you're running the latest Flashtool which is v0.9.11.0 and can be found here: http://androxyde.github.io/
That is quiet normal, green appears...red or whatever....out, flashmode connected, look into flashtool.....fine, no light on the phone....flash, but have an eye into flashtool after 1 or 2 minutes if you don't start flashing your phone disconnects automatically...and will stay on charging only.

It would be fine, but tha flashtool displays some kind of instructions when it asks you to connect your phone in flashmode, and I connect it holding down the volume down key + connect AND then that instructions window should close automatically BUT that is just not happening. I've tried it 30 times already, all the drivers on, flashtool recognizes my phone when i start it... It is just not getting in flashmode! Is there any other way to flash the phone without flashmode??? I can get in fastboot I think, because if I press the volume up key while connecting the blue led is on, so it works.
I'm ready to donate for someone who can help me to get this phone work!

This is what I have right now in my phone. And one more thing that I was searching for and gugled it and cant find answer

Anyway thx for your reply!
what version of Flashtool are you using? If it is the newest from the Androxyde's site, that wouldn't work for me either, you need to use the beta release. There should be a link above to the thread where they update the beta releases.

Guys, is there a way you can quit Flash Mode? I got stuck on it. The thing is my internet connection is to slow so i cancelled the "Update Service" by sony process, but the Xperia Z (C6603) is still stuck on Flash Mode. Can't get it out of there. It won't charge...
Im hopeless. Pls help me.

It would be fine, but tha flashtool displays some kind of instructions when it asks you to connect your phone in flashmode, and I connect it holding down the volume down key + connect AND then that instructions window should close automatically BUT that is just not happening. I've tried it 30 times already, all the drivers on, flashtool recognizes my phone when i start it... It is just not getting in flashmode! Is there any other way to flash the phone without flashmode??? I can get in fastboot I think, because if I press the volume up key while connecting the blue led is on, so it works.
I'm ready to donate for someone who can help me to get this phone work!

I have the same problem
I am on unlocked bootloader Xperia L i tried everyting but no help......drivers and all are fine
Just making sure you are doing it correctly you turn off the phone, hold the volume down Jerry and then connecting the usb cable?
Sorry for digging. I hope it helps other people.
You have problem with drivers. You need to turn off driver signature enforcement - search google for "testsigning on". Apply it in cmd, reboot pc. Then install flashtool drivers (fastboot and flashmode, then reboot for being sure) and then try to flash. Cheers
I have Sony M4 aqua fastboot mode is working but flash mode the light is green but flash tool cant recognise it nothing happens

[Q] xperia play r800i strangely bricked

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.

nothing, thats the strange thing, i just put it on charge one day and then... poof, dead
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

If your bootloader is unlocked, use this method, BUT BE SURE to carrefully READ the steps, ESPECIALLY the steps "when to connect cable to phone"

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.

Swapper has a bad history of deleting the whole OS I've heard. It probably has messed with your bootloader. Can you enter flash/fastboot mode? And swapper only runs on kernels that support it. I doubt that we have any such kernels.
I think I have the same problem here. I already searched everywhere and I'm loosing my hopes. I'm trying to revive a Xperia Ion and this is what I get:
When I plug the phone in the wall charger the red led turns on for some minutes and then turns off, no green leds, my phone was in charger for months, changed charger and cable.
The same happens when I plug on PC, when the led turns off it is detected as "Somc flash device" in windows device manager and this shows in flashtool:
INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
Nothing changes if I plug in pc with volume + or - pressed, it don't goes into fastboot or flashmode.
I hope you could help me. Thanks
