i just root my samsung galaxy w,everything is fine after root n then i uninstal some aplication n then i do factory reset,n now my phone can't instal anything to my phone.help me plzzz,what should i do???

it seems that your phone has a harware problem. The best way is to bring it to the next nearest service.

hi, I tried and it will start in download mode, but it isn't detected by the computer. so i cant seem to get root. odin just keeps asking to connect phone. i am running kies and it doesn't see the phone. I tried the recovery button sequence and it reboots the phone to home screen.is (recovery and downloading) states the same, or are they different. i'm new to all this so i'm not sure.

I flashed a faulty recovery using mobileuncles and there was no signs of life other than a red led liggt, and holding power + volume up works just fine and it went into flashmode.

I have the same issue.
I organized xperia light rom for our xperia c, I flashed it from custom recovery. Phone is completely dead now.
There is a just red light, phone does not go into download or fastboot mode. Pc Companion, Sony Update Center, Wmshua Flashtool do not recognize the phone.
Any suggestion with that?
I don't have warranty, my last option is to pay money for technical service.

this worked for me but instead of POWER+VOL UP i used POWER+VOL DOWN

thanks
thank, i like this forum

worth to try... (hope it won't happen to me :laugh: )

I have experienced this too, however, instead of using the Sony Update Service, I used the Sony PC Companion. At first it was not working, so I did a hard reset on the phone (press the button at the back). I held the power+up button while inserting the cable, and finally it was detected by Sony. It will reset your device to factory settings though.

If you flash a different device's rom, it happens. If you replace your motherboard, it will work again.

It worked for my Xperia M (rooted on JB 4.3) with a locked bootloader which was STUCK on bootloop screen and when I did the whole thing with holding the power and volume up button (after I let the battery die after so many bootloops it did), FINALLY I was able to take it to flashmode, while I had selected from Sony PC Companion to repair my phone, and after 3-4 tries, I DID IT!!! Thank you so much for this thread ( I DEFINITELY pressed the "thanks" button), it really SAVED ME time and money (because I was planning to send it to Sony to fix it and you ALL know how bastards Sony is)!!!! And to all those of you who are DESPERATE to fix their phone (I hope you read this thread), DON'T PANIC, and DON'T GIVE UP!!! It took me 2 days of searching the web, and FINALLY I MADE IT!!! There are ALWAYS solutions to these kinds of problems!!!!

Sony Xperia Z3 HARD BRICKED

Hi. My device is hardbricked. I see no lights while charging. Flashtool doesn't see my device.how can i fix this?
Edit:Easily fixed it.I plugged my device into the computer.I entered platform-tools and flashed boot.img.I saw "waiting for device" And i pressed volume up and power buttons. Suddenly boot flashed and i recovered my phone

You are very unlikely to have hard bricked it unless you have unlocked the boot and flashed something wrong.
If you did this please help us help you by telling us what you did just before this happened.
Also, just leave the phone on charge (Wall charger) for 24 hours and then see what happens.
In the mean time read this

solution for no LEDs no response no fastboot devices.
Take two rubberbands one to hold down the power button and one to hold down the volume up button on Xperia Z3 dual. I spent a lot of time figuring this out. Alter a few minutes the phone just booted up from the dead. It worked for me 3 times. Now if someone can tell me how to fix the fastboot remote command not allowed error I'll be happy.

Hello
I had the same problem with REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED till i managed to solve it.
1st thing you need to clean that ANDROID folder you made on C: drive.Install all from the begining including flashtool.Boot windows to install unsigned drivers.In the flash tool folder youll find the driver downloader,just enable usb debugging and choose Mass Storage not MTP .; You have 4 options usb debug on/off and usb connectivity MTP or Mas Storage ;with every version selected connect and disconnect from pc with flashtool running.
When you use Fastboot start the flashtool and close it if it cant kill ADB (that assuming you succeeded in installing drivers).
Good Luck

Try a different driver package from another download source and use another usb on your pc.
Maybe it works. If your device can enter flash mode it definitely can be recovered.

The green led indicates flash mode so the problem is probably on your PC not detecting it properly. Does it show up in the system manager of windows if you plug it in at all? (Like a new device/android with a yellow triangle)
You could also try to fastboot a recovery and flashing a ROM from there. Not sure if it works but that's what I would try.

i m not even able to fastboot a recovery ...tried twrp and cwm both of them...

Me too

in my phone after charging 24h, only the red LED blinks, this is not normal any suggestions?
--------------edit
ok another week and still nothing
maybe I'll describe the problem:
I wanted to upload clean soft 5.1.1 and flash it
after the phone turned off it's start in recovery i used zip with SU and the phone turned off with no respond i try too reset (vol- + vol+ + power) but no reaction
there were no three vib
so I found that you have to reset the button under the sd flip
after this treatment you already know the charging of 3 days and only the red LED blinks
So any suggestions??

I‘m having the same problem, I can’t open my Xperia Z3. I tried with holding on/off button, holding volume up and on/off button, holding volume down and on/off button. When I connect it to PC, nothings happen. No vibrates, no led on, no screen on. What should I do?

Like you I have a Xperia Z3 mines the 6633 variant.. Signs were showing it to be hard bricked, for example:
No led charge indication!
No power led!
No fastboot leds!
No USB detection sound when plugging into windows.
Literally a Z3 that was essentially a glass brick I bought off ebay for £6.50 GBP for spares/repair.
Since I had a bricked device, I had nothing to loose.
I applied heat to the rear glass with a hair drier & removed the panel, I removed the battery ribbon cable & plugged in via USB only to find the phone would show LEDs so put it on charge.
The Z3 now goes into flash mode, so then re-flashed a stock ROM from flashtool. I did a apps log & user data wipe, cust reset & fota reset.
To date I have no idea why the phone would not take a charge before or even detect via USB, though Id say give this method a go, you may be surprised!!
Good luck

Sony Z3 D6633 is dead , wiped system accidentally ,Led not Blinking, screen blackout

Hello There
I was trying to hard reset my Sony Z3 D6633 and I firstly wiped the Rom then after that I tried to install Stock Rom using "Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde" , unfortunately the power went of while it was flashing and now the phone doesn't even boot or show any thing on the screen , and the led doesn't even blink , I tried the following :
-pressing the volume down then connecting it to the flasher (No Response)
-pressing the yellow reset button in sim tray 10 times then connecting the charger (No Response)
-holding volume up and power together (No response)
I'm currently putting it in charger but it doesn't give any response , I think I deleted an important part in the system , is there's any software that could help me ,if someone could guide me I would be very grateful for him/her

Usually a normal flash with a flash tool shouldn't brick your device in a way that it can't enter stock recovery or download/flash mode.
Did you check the device manager when connecting with volume up/down?
You can try EMMA by Sony to flash full stock, but you need to follow a tutorial to set it up (there's a specific file you need to put in the install directory of the program to skip the devs login).

When connecting the charger does the red LED light up?

Resolved
Sorry for the long absence, after three days of posting this i was about to give up until I plugged my phone into the charger and the led turned on which was a good sign that now I know that the device is still working, after charging it for a couple of hours I connected it to the PC and used "Sony PC Companion" and followed it's steps, and the device was restored to it's original firmware.:laugh::laugh::laugh:

NEVER SEEN HARD BRICK on Oneplus One

Good Morning,
yesterday when i flashed a rom, something goes wrong.
My opo don't go in boot animation and work only the recovery and fastboot.
I don't know why but afther another reboot the phone is dead, i think that is a normal hard brick so i try to restore with the tool "msm8974 download tool" but it don't work, when i start the restore come out a red word.
I never seen a hard brick like this, the phone is 100% dead , when i press the power button don't vibrates and nothing come out, diplay is black.
What can i do to restore my opo? :crying:

Try Wiping everything from TWRP and try a different ROM.
Another thing to try is connecting ADB to get the logcat.
Can you give more details on what you've tried so far?
Additionally, I remember reading that the OPO can stop booting correctly when the battery starts failing.
