ST21i restart and boot loop when connected to charger

Like the title says, when connected to any source that gives power the phone shuts down after a few seconds and enters a loop. It shows the Sony logo and then the charging icon, restart, Sony logo, charging icon restart. This will happen for ever. The battery charges slowly. 50% in 6 hours!...
I disconnect the charger and power it on it works perfectly!What could be wrong??
Thanks.

Did you install / uninstall cwm?
Try pc companion repair assuming you have locked bootloader.

No, nothing, no cwm, no rom, no root, no nothing!
Cant try PC Companion because phone resets and enters boot/charge loop when I connect it with the USB

I have the device around 8 months now and it just started doing that for no reason.
I've searched Google for something similar but it looks like no-one else has a similar problem :-S

Since u haven't rooted it u can claim support from Sony service:thumbup:

Seems like your battery is drained, maybe you should let it charge few hours.
If won't work, then your battery is dead

[Q] problem with my XL.need help please

okay.to start off,i've been following this guide here to unlock my bootloader(*i dint know about xda before,as i see xda guide are way easy-,- ). so everything went fine and yes my XL are "Bootloader unlock allowed". i have followed every single step on that site and at the last step where you need to put your unlock boot loader key,this is where i think i've may screwed it up. it doesn't show any successful note or anything so i thought it was done but then again i've checked my bootloader status and it still remain the same as "Bootloader unlock allowed" which it suppose to be "Bootloader unlock done".
Okay that wasn't the worst part. so as i have failed, i decide to google about this thing and found out this guide here. so i've followed it,right up until when i need to connect my phone through BLU. this PART where i go seriously INSANE. it just that nothing happen. i've managed to enter fastboot before with sony guide but this i just dont know whats wrong with it. so ive checked up about it's and notice its probably my driver problem. so i've found this here go through with it and yet failed again. -,-
OKAY THIS IS THE WORST PART. so as i've bumped at failure and decide to give up on this thing then i've notice that my phone cannot be charged when it is off. really bump about this. i know im a newbie and i know my place.but please anyone help me on this. i dont care about unlocking my bootloader anymore, i just want my normal phone back where i can charged it when its off.

Firstly I welcome you at xda forum. Keep your calm. It will be fixed.
Now then, firstly you need to install DRIVERS for your device.
Secondly you will need to FLASH FTF firmware using FLASHTOOL after downloading FTF.
Thirdly, you need to be patient as it will take a bit of time for you as you are new to all this.
Install drivers from :
HERE
Secondly download FTF firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502970
Download flashtool :
http://www.flashtool.net/download.php
Next thing you need to do is FLASH FTF to your phone.
You must paste your FTF file in your flashtool/firmwares/HERE
Next you need to turn off your phone and then hold volume DOWN key and at the same time connect your phone via USB cable to the PC.
Next , open flashtool and install FTF using the RIGHT file you put in the folder. Don't install file from Xperia x8 or something that is already present.
Flash..
You are good to go! Good Luck

but i think my driver are good,and flashtool can read my device when its on just that the problem is now,my phone cant be connected to pc when its off. so i cant flash anything atm.plus i cant charge it when it off.
i keep on thinking that maybe i've just softbricked my phone
thanks a bunch thou for your help. but i think theres nothing i can do here.i've give up.plus the phone are working fine anyway,just that i cant flash anything thou. which is sucks but i'll manage it thou,somehow

Did you press vol down for flashmod and vol up for fastboot?
Open flashtool, don't click on any button just push vol down and push usb cable, then you will see if flashtool recognize your phone or will ask for drivers.

yes,i have done that 1000x times,and still nothing seems to work.i've even waited almost 1/2 an hour as i think it maybe take some time to load up but then again...nothing
i think the main problem is why my phone cannot be charged when it was off. as it does fine when i first got it? this is the real question because i think if your phone cant recognized the usb input while it was off then how the hell it gonna be discovered into flashmode or even flashboot. this is whats bugging me.
p.s,yes i have tried to flash with other computer,and still got the same result.

Try install adb driver with flastool drivers..you can find it under drivers folder via flashtool

Your bootloader is not unlocked and you can give it to service without problems.Maybe usb is broken. Use it till phone shut down, go to service and tell them that it don't want to charge.

Try Your Luck to Get back your Tipo/Miro/E

hi all,
In most of Q/A thread of tipo/miro , i have seen that people are facing trouble after unlocking bootloader and get therir device bricked. so here, after some research ,i have mentioned notes that they should have try to get their tipo if possible.may be it will help
-Notes
-Change USB Port & USB Cable and Make Sure driver is installed Correctly
-Sometimes it looks like hardbrciked but it is not,so check that is there any vibration/LED sign while trying to turn on device
-Remove sd-card and SIM ,put your device in charging for 24 hours ,there is a little hope to get RED LED after
-Try External Charger and Charge your battery for long time & Connect your device without battery by holding volume down button and insert battery. It may detect your device on flashtool
-If you get LED Then try to connect with flash/fastboot mode and flash stock rom or use PC companian/SUS after Relocking Bootloader.
IF ANYONE WATCHING THIS THREAD HAVING SOLVED THAT KIND OF ISSUE THEN PLZ SHARE YOUR EXPERIANCE TO HELP OTHERS.

that's when people get software problem. but with drivers or devices problem like dead boot, we need Sony

Are you leaving? Post your farewell here

Hello XDA:ers,
I decided to open this thread where everyone who is leaving this section can post their farewell.
Ok, I'm leaving the Xperia C section due to that I've got a Xperia Z1 Compact now and I decided to sell my Xperia C. Bye!

Okay, no offence to the OP but this ''farewell thread'' seems a bit pointless

Well, most other devices have such a thread and it's better to keep all those farewell threads at one place.

I did Xperia Light Rom(Deodexed) for our device. When i flashed it via CWM recovery, device never opened. Tried PC Companion, SUS and WMShua flash tools but not working. Phone does not go into flash mode or adb mode. There is just red light, it does not turn green.
Xperia C is not sold in my country, because of that sony service center could not repair it I try to get it back to life.

Have you back up ur previous rom? Are you not able to boot into recovery mode?

the same thing happened to me when I tried to replace recovery.img. what I did was hard reset the device & put it charge not pc/laptop.I used wall mount to charge for 10 mins. Then connected to SUS by holding Vol- key the re flashed.
