[Completed] HELP!!! Unbrick Xperia S (bootloader problem no flashmode)

I have a Xperia S running cm 12.1 with unlocked bootloaders TWRP installed and i tried to partition my SD card [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584759] but clearly something went wrong and now the phone wont boot. I made a lot of research and tried everything but all the guides require to be able to boot into flashmode . My phone is dead the only sign of life is a red led when its charging which after some hours of charge will shut off. When the light is off and the phone connected on PC, the PC can recognize the device on unspecified devices (QHSUSB_DLOAD). i have installed all the needed drivers from Sony, google drivers from sdk, and adb drivers(adb wont see the device and i tried everything to do so, but nothing seem to work). I got a market for android on my pc called mobogenie that when i connect the phone it detects that a phone is connected but wont see what phone.The hardware reset buttons work but its useless in the current position. Concluding, the phone is bricked and wont open in fastboot-flashboot-bootloader-TWRP, its recognized as a device but not as "Xperia s" i got all the drivers and i want to flash the original firmware (already downloaded) to fix it. A possible problem is that the partition table is destroyed and after the flash it will hopefully be restored. The problem is not on the hardware but on software. I tried to trigger the download mode with the Samsung way (USB jig, 300k ohm ) but nothing happened as expected. Every solution i found required flash mode which is not accessible at the moment and i tried lots of things to go into fastboot(ever the rubber band trick,remove the battery etc). PLEASE help i dont know what to do, please help me flash it (i already got flashtool, Emma) or anohter solution. Thanks for the help in advance. (its my first thread in the forum, i hope to post it on the right section, i posted it here because i need the assistance of the developers i guess)

Hi,

What tool are you using to flash the stock firmware .and it will be helpful if you say how exactly you bricked it

I'm using SP Flash Tool for flashing.. I tried to flash stock ROM into my Lenovo A536, when it was done I unplugged phone from computer and tried to power on but there was a problem.. Phone was hard bricked

So your saying the flashtool bricked your phone ?
Where did you get the firmware for your phone cuz flash tool can only brick your device if you used firmware not for your phone. Also does your phone shows any sign of life ie vibrate turn on for a sec, bootloop etc...

I don't remember where did I find it.. There is only one sign of phone life. When I connect it with computer, phone connect but only for a while, after a three seconds disconnect.

I know two guys who had this problems.
1) guy took it to service ,they fixed it.
2) installed phone drivers again and tried again and it worked.
If you're confident you have the right firmware load scatter click download and connect your powered off phone without pressing any buttons ,and see if it works.
Anyway I'm narrowing down the cause of the problem to either an incorrect firmware or a sp flash tool version (some version are ****)

Didn't work

Pull out the battery then leave it for 10 min reinsert and see if it boots (give it some time ) .if it doesn't
Or connect your phone to PC(without battery) ,load scatter click download on sp flash tool ,then put in the battery .

First method - didn't work
Second method - device automatically disconnect after three seconds, so SP flash tool says error

What error code?
I bricked my device same as you so I could help you further but my device connected in meta mode and flashed its firmware fine ,so try another USB cord
Ps I've pretty much mentioned all I know about unbricking in this thread so I can't be of further help.https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...ggeMAA&usg=AFQjCNGkwgZbNQCJFWtm90DM-Mksnzk0dA look this up specifically #9

It didn't work.. Error is: BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)

Wow! I did something and then uninstalled driver. When I connected phone, driver automatically installed and now it's not disconnecting, but still can't flash it

Brom error is mostly related to see improper firmware which also explains why you're phone got bricked in the first place .
Try downloading another stock firmware

Man? I love you!!! I tried about four ROMs and the fourth is working!! .. There was a one more problem with flashing again with drivers, idk why but they dissapear, so I installed them again and then tried flash ROM.. Thank you very much! You saved my money!

Put it into download mode and restore the device via LGUP+TOT file, or if you made a backup, just reboot into recovery and restore your backup...

You probably didnt understand me well.. I cant put it in any mode...it wont turn on on any condition..

You said you rebooted twice, that tells me the device powers on, therefore, by doing a battery pull, holding the recovery or download mode button combos and powering up should get you into the desired mode. IF its not powering on at all:
1. Try charging the battery externally and try again.
2. See if the device is being recognized by a pc, if so there is hope that resting the device and trying again may work or we can see what mode it is in via adb/fastboot to get the device into a recoverable mode.
So....

The computer recognizes my device as qualcomm 9008

I have the same problem. My phone is dead only shows Qualcomm 9008.

Silly... If it's not for your phone why would you flash it??? Might have to wait for the official kdz from lg assuming you can some how get it into download mode. Or simply use your insurance for a new device. Expensive lesson learned

Maybe you can try the lg mobile support tool, since a tot file is available LG may have the stock kdz file available now, so try the recovery option for the mobile support tool.

Pretty sure that Qualcomm message thing is the true hard brick...
Sent from my pretty nifty brand new LG V10

This might sound stupid and it is usually for devices which have problems turning on or similar. I think is better to try anything that not trying all the options.
Why dont you try removing the battery, then close the module part without the battery. Press and hold the power button for at least 30 seconds. then release it. then put the batttery back on and try to make it boot into download mode. Chances are slim but the chance still there. This worked with my Samsung galaxy s5 after i flashed a rom that claimed to be for all models including the tmobile version when it clearly was for the g900f version . and i decided to try what i have done with other types of electronics and it worked.

Just tried on my phone. No go. Still dead. Trying lg repair. Hope I can get it fixed and not cost a arm and a leg.

Here is a guide to recover from 9008 mode
Here is a tool to extract kdz from tot
I've not read through these all the way, but if the PC sees it at all, it's not truly bricked... It might just be a pain in the ... to get it fixed. Those 2 links are good starting points for you. I hope you get this resolved.

I have the same error... My LG g5 H860 no turn on only connect in the PC on mode Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9800.
Any idea or solution to resolve this?
Thx

Partially bricked Mi4c mi-globe 7.2.9

Good day gents and ladies
Well let me start from the beginning.
I'm was using mi-globe 6.12.22
Last week Friday evening downloaded 7.2.9 mi-globe,read around the mi-globe forum.Didn't see anything funny so flashed via twrp on Saturday morning.Hmmmmmmmm this is when all my problems started.
Basically what I should of done is download 7.2.9,new 3.0.3 twrp for norgat,go into recovery flash new recovery, restart recovery,flash 7.2.9 and then have happy days.But it wasn't to be and now I'm basically sitting with a useless mi4c device.
The device works but warms up and I only get about 4 hours battery life.
If I try boot into recovery I just get black screen.
If I connect device to PC it is not recognized, have tried 3 x different laptop/PC's and different cables.
So fastboot,mi-flash,mi-unlock are all not possible as device is not recognized.
I have been trying different solutions without any success.
I think if it would be possible to root device directly without PC then maybe it will be possible to get flashfire working and I can flash new norgat recovery?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
NB.I have tried loading Qualcomm drivers ,google drivers etc etc.no luck can't connect my device too PC,either get device not recognized or the PC doesn't even see the device.Enable USB debugging etc etc nothing works.Been fiddling for 4 days!!!!!!!
Tried to root with kingoroot,framaroot directly on device etc nothing works?
Please help,else device is a nice piece of plastic that holds paper down on my table.lol

Is usb charging via pc working and have you tried miui updater? , This seems weird state you have ... If none working might be tried deep flash cable flashing ... Or go to nearest service center. Hope that help. Best luck.

Hi,yes USB chargers device via PC but that's all.
How does one deep flash,could you post link please?
I bought the device in China about 18 months ago,Xiaomi never sold mi4c in my country so doubt they could help me locally.
Seems I have soft bricked the device?Tried every thing no solution.
If it would possible to root without USB cable I could maybe try flash new twrp via flash fire?Then could wipe all and try start again?

You havent answered the miui updater part, have you tried flash miui rom.zip, using miui updater apps ?
Does fastboot mode boot on your phone ? i mean the bunny sceen showed up ?
For dfc here the link http://xiaomitips.com/guide/miui-deep-flash-engineering-cable-solution-to-non-edl-device/
Please take dfc as last resort. And do research more on this... Do with your own risk. Good luck

Hi,
Yes sorry I have tried updater, I download rom start updater it starts but after about 2 minutes stops and phones shuts down.
I then have to restart phone with long press of power button. It restarts but nothing has changed.
Wrt fastboot it goes into fastboot but this is useless cause no Pc can see my device and if it sees it it sees unknown device, spent countless hours trying different things without any success.
Seems have soft bricked the device, phone works but gets hot and battery life maybe 4 hours if I'm lucky?
Not sure what more today?

Before this has your pc able to use the miflash ? Try to follow this guide to setup it correctly http://en.miui.com/thread-136188-1-1.html ... I follow this guide and the adb n fastboot even works on an old pentium 4, 512mb ram, win xp laptop.
Ps: I think, its only a matter of incorrect driver setup on your side, best luck.

USB not working after flashing Lineage OS 15.1

Hi all, a couple nights ago I flashed Lineage 15.1-20180806 to my OPO and everything went smooth. This morning I tried to connect it to my pc to transfer some pics and to my surprise the PC doesn't recognize it.
It looks like the PC is "trying" to establish a connection because the led in the phone blinks really fast for some small periods of time. The phone isn't charging when connected to the PC either.
What I have already tried:
- I already enable USB debugging in developer options
- Set MTP as default usb configuration
- Tried 2 different cables and different usb ports in PC.
I will try again in another computer when I get home but, honestly, this doesn't seem to be a problem with my PC or the cable as those were the ones I used when I flashed the rom and I also used the same cable when I transferred files to the same PC in the past. The phone was running Lineage OS 13 before the flash I think.
Any idea what else can I try to get it to work? I'm afraid I will be attached to this rom forever since I won't have a way to flash another ROM right?
EDIT:
If I go into recovery mode (TWRP) and plug the usb cable the PC recognizes it and I can transfer my files. So I'm 100% sure this is on Lineage OS. Again, when I get home I will see if ADB works while in TWRP but still would like to know if any of you guys has had this issue solved.
Thanks!

okay

Is Lineage OS 15.1 supporting VoLTE by any way.

Had the same issue... and had this issue always coming back, currently with LOS18 (some devices worked, others didnt - couldnt see a pattern).
I tried all the triggers like setting File Transfer, disabling USB Debugging - nothing worked...
...until I rebooted my device (a YT703L).
In the end, it should be either (not sure which one actually)
File Transfer - always on (in DevSettings Default USB) or
USB Debugging off (also Dev Settings)
AND reboot.
