[Q] Xperia Mini ST15i wont boot. Help!! - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys. My device(St15i) wont boot at all. It was rooted and boot loader was unlocked as well. I used Cyanogenmod 7.1 for sometime and then flashed it with Stock rom after that. It was working absolutely fine. 2 days ago, I connected the phone to Wi-Fi and scanned for latest updates. It showed me that there is an update available(I guess it was for firmware as i did not had .62 on it). I knew it was rooted but still because of some teething i guess, i said yes to the upgrade. It downloaded the update and the phone restarted. It started with the unpacking screen and then turned off...Now whenever I try to turn it on, it doesn't boot. I can just see the green LED on the top(beside the power button) flash once every second when I hold the power button down. But it wont turn on at all...I tried flashing the device again with flashtool, but it doesnt work. I cant flash a new kernel because I cant connect it in flashmode or flashtool mode. Whenever I try connecting it and flashing any kernel, it says <waiting for device>. I have all the drivers installed but still cant get it to work. Can someone please help me with the problem....

[Q] bricked after install CM9 on xperia S ?

Hello There!
Being anything but an expert I carefully read instructions on how to unlock my SONY XPERIA S (LT26i) as I wanted to install CM9. This worked, but installing cm9 I f...ed up.... All seemed to go well, but after the final boot nothing happened, the screen stayed black.
When I try to unzip the file with cm9 from root again I get: 'installation aborted', '(status 7)' and the anouncement that the zip.file has an error in it.
If I try to start in normal mode (after a hard reset) i get freexperia logo for a short while, then the small led turns purple (i think) and the bottom, bar lights up for a sec or two. Then everything turns black again...
The led turns red all right when i try fastboot mode, but my computer no longer recognizes the phone.
Help me please!
Hey,

Hello!
I have an identical problem. Is there a working version of [FXP117_update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-nozomi-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip]? There appears to be no access to the phone's SD storage, so how do i flash it?
Have you tried wiping/flashing new firmware from windows, using for example Fastboot Commander? Maybe this will work
I had similar promlem with CM9 on my xperia pro. I solved it with total reinstall of phone. so I wiped cache, Dalvik cache, factory reset (through Clockwork recovery), flashed stock kernel, then stock firmware..after I saw, that phone is working and my heart slowed back to normal, i did the same steps, but with CM9 kernel and CM9 ROM and it is working like charm now..

[Completed] [Q] i9100g recovery mode missing and download mode has an android with a 0 in it.

Hi
i recently bricked my phone while updating from stock to phils cwm recovery and my cable unplugged. After that my phone went just dead. I read on the internet and used a OMAP flash and after that i could access my download mode, but it has a yellow exclamation mark triangle and has the android mascot with a 0 in it. I dont know what that means.
Now i some how managed to put a stock rom in it (Gingerbread). But it never switches on. I keep getting a blank screen, not even the samsung bot load symbol comes up. But when ever i use a pit file to just repartition the device my phone starts up and the gingerbread os switches on. But it keeps flashing that every process of google is being forced close, so i cant even move ahead. its just stuck there, and error keeps coming up with force close pop up.
If i try to restart the device it gets the blank screen again. it works again if i repartition it.
i even tried nand flash, but it gets stuck in odin after the message Erase.....
i tried adding a new recovery to no avail. Neither does a new Android OS gets pushed in, gets stuck at NAND write start.
The phone doesnt let me access recovery also. It gets the same blank screen when i try.
help please

Hmm ... after flashing a custom (PhilZ-cwm) recovery, the yellow triangle shows that you are no longer on official/stock firmware.
You can reset it with TriangleAway app from Chainfire.
If download mode still works, you can try to flash another (custom) kernel with a custom recovery. But it has to be a kernel which is compatible with your current ROM.
For further questions, please post in the Galaxy SII GT-I9100 G Q&A thread.
If you have issues with your download mode, check the [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G thread.
Thread closed ... thank you !

Atrix stuck on M logo

Please help, ive read almost every post about this but none seems to work for me, i was on LEGORom, and today i decided to go back to 4.0.4, the susprise was when i got stuck on the M logo(the one with the waves) its moves three times and then i just see the M logo and nothing more, im able to get into fastboot, and conect to Rsdlite, i have flashed multiple times and the problem still there, also i did a factory reset via the stock recovery and the same issue, also i did the other method to flash the tom, and also to flash only the system and nothing seemed to work out.
Please i need some help.
Something that i notice watching the how to flash via rsd lite video on youtube is that my phone doesnt show up anything in the "device properities" part, is blank but that does not stop the flashing.
Thats everything that i did today, i hope someone can help me
edit1: on my pc it shows on devices properities all N/A but still the M logo stuck
Did you wipe everything before flashing?

Bricked!

After installing blisspop (or I don't really remember), I realized that WiFi wasn't working and neither was bluetooth so I decided to flash Extended Stock Kernel kernel, first with flashing the boot, then flashing the zip from recovery mode and even after that, the result was the same. It didn't work. Later on I went to the Phantom kernel's page and flashed that without checking that the kernel was meant for 4.4 and it bricked my device. Now, whenever the phone starts, it shows the Phantom kernel boot at start with its logo without any led light appearing below and due to that I'm unable to go into either flashmode or fastboot. It keeps restarting the Phantom boot at start and doesn't go any further. Please help!
EDIT: A more detailed version that I wrote a few months ago to the kernel's developer.

Previously I had my Xperia L reset on stock ftp then flashed the Extended Stock Kernel on it. Since the wifi wasn't working, I tried to download R17 and flashed it through CWM and now the phone keeps restarting on the Phantom Logo. It shows the logo, waits for about 10 seconds then restarts and the same keeps repeating. I saw it was for Kitkat but then too I insisted on installing. I can't access neither bootloader nor recovery mode. The light which comes when the Phantom Logo pops doesn't appear either. Can you help me please? Anything would be greatly appreciated. I know I did a stupid thing but I really don't want to give up on this device.

[Completed] HTC Desire 620G not turing on. Maybe Hard-bricked!

I installed CWM recovery in HTC Desire 620G and then I decided to Flash a ROM (which I think was not correct). I absent mindedly flashed the ROM directly without wiping cache or dalvik and my phone got bricked. However it still booted into recovery and I flashed the ROM again with all processes in order. I found that it was not the right ROM. After some time my phone got off (maybe due to low battery), and won't detect charge or even power on. It keeps on disconnecting and reconnecting from USB after every 5-8 seconds. I even cannot charge the phone to get it powered on. I tried to flash the backup stock file of HTC Desire 620G by SP Flash Tool. The flashing got successful but the phome still won't detect charge or power on. Only USB is detected and if it is bot connected to Flash Tool, it keeps on reconnecting. Please help, what should I do now? Thanks in advance.
