Hi,
i think i bricked my HTC Hero. I was trying to flash a SPL, when my phone just went black. After that i tried to put it back on, nothing works.
Removed battery, doesn't work.
back+power doesn't work.
home+power doesn't work.
Home+power+back doesn't work.
If i plug it into my laptop or my charger, the orange led will burn. If i hook it into my PS3, my PS3 says an unkown device has been connected. My laptop recognizes nothing.
If i press Volume up+power, while the orange led is burning, my phone will vibrate 3 times and green led starts to light up. Thats everyting it does.
If i press any other combination with power, the orange led will stop lighting too.
Can someone help me out please?
UPDATE!!
now when i plug in my charger, the LED goed orange first, and after that it goes green. So my battery is fully charged now i guess?
Would really appriciate the help in fixing my Hero
I'm using sony xperia V and after flashing a cyanogenmod rom which installed perfectly, until I select reboot and the screen
turns black and no matter which button combination or whatsoever I can't boot up.
The only things that happen is:
if unplugged, pressing the power button will vibrate the phone and green LED flash for a second
if plugged into computer the green LED flashes for a long time. Holding the volume+ button before plugging in will flash a blue LED light for some time
Both plugged and unplugged, the screen shows nothing at all, which means can't enter recovery mode, safe mode or download mode.
Is there anyway I can solve this? Or I can only buy a new phone or act dumb at the sony store.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any trouble
[Edit]I finally found a way to solve this problem after hours of frustration. Thanks to this amazing website which I couldn't post it here due to being a new member, which I could say it's from a website named androidgadgetmatic, really turned a completely useless brick into a perfectly working phone again. The only problem left (which happened before bricked) is that my phone couldn't read or even find SD card, any help in this area guys?
Hi guys =D
So... I'm having some problems when I try to update my Xperia L.
I downloaded Pc Companion, I connected my phone via USB. When it says to unplug my phone, turn it off and then plug it again while pressing volume down key, nothing happens. It flashes 2 times in two different colors. One is red and the other one is green.
Can you help me?
Here is your answer when it give you a prompt.
Switch off your phone.
Connect the usb to the computer
now press and hold the volume down bbutton even if your phone is switched off
Now connect the end of the usb to your phone you will see a green or a red light and wait for a few seconds for the drivers to be installed and then it will start to upate your phone.
wait for he process to end.

Thank you for replying. I guess I was very clear.
Before it asks me to unplug it, my phone switches itself off. So when I connect it and hold volume down key, two lights flash (a green and a red one) and nothing happens. =/
Well, I've never hard bricked any android (so far), but i think that this is it.
I tried some swap script in init.d folder on my vengeance kernel, but after reboot (or what should be reboot) my xperia tipo didn't boot at all. Hell, it didn't even try lol
So, I tried everything: removing and inserting battery, power and vol+ pressed for reset, fastboot and flash mode on pc with vol+/vol- pressed and connecting USB, but no feedback at all- no vibration, no green or blue led, no ˝device conneced˝ in flashtool log, not even red led when charging with wall charger!
Only thing that still gives me hope is 3 red led flashing when holding power button, indicating very low power level, I suppose. This is the one and only feedback and sign of life from my phone and it's not showing when pressed power button while connected on wall charger or USB.
I have this phone on wall charger for last 3+ days, with no changes in described condition and behaviour, it had 'round 20% battery when gone brick.
I've read tens of threads involving xperia bricks, but they mostly involve removing cable connnecting motherboard and battery in order for chips to lose power and reset as condition for flashtool and stuff, BUT i figure it's for phones which battery can't be pulled out easily- which is not the case with my tipo st 21i
So, guys, PLEASE help me revive my beloved phone, if it is possible.
Be saluted, and help meee
Also, it had:
-gimlo rom v2.1
-vengeance kernel latest version for tipo-tapioca
-and, of course, unlocked bootloader

Update

I decided to try decharging battery completely. I did rubber band trick on bower button untill red led flashing 3 times then pause 1 sec stopped completely. Then I set flashtool for only kernel flashing - excluded everything but kernel - did rubber band trick on Vol- this time and connected with USB. Red led started flashing 1 time every 3 seconds for roughly 10 minutes, with no results. After that flashing stopped again, just like on wall charger. When removing USB and holding power button I can see 3 red flashes consecutively, then 1 sec pause and so on.
My hope is dying slowly, if there is anybody with any idea, please help me.
Be saluted all

I would only if I could, but, as I said before, phone won't get into flashmode, nor fastboot. Please, read my previous posts
Tipo's lights indicate fastboot and flashboot but doesn't work
My case is also similar, i managed to flash one rom from my sdcard, which it asked for reboot, when i rebooted the phone , its not even going in CWM, even the sony logo is not appearing.
but when i connect phone in fastboot mode (Vol- button + power button and connect to pc), it green light can be seen. but the issue is, my phone does not detect on pc, even though i as sony pc companion. The same i tried by downloading pda.net drivers but nothing worked.
Please help...!!

And you tried with flashtool on your pc?
And if you have flashtool on pc and flashmode and fastboot drivers installed, and you connect your phone to pc while flashtool is ready for flashing stock rom, open device manager and see if there is any unrecognized driver. Then tell me. Also tell me if you have by accident windows 8 on your pc

Hi , you probably facing the 0volt
You can check by open your phn the battery statut using a tool named a voltmeter then if you see 0 you should do that
First way
Manualy charge with 4.9 volt your battery with any tool (by puting rod on the plot - and +, it's really easy if you need help I can teach you , you just need the tool . )
Charge it a bit but enought until you see the return power do not stop . Then put it on your phn and finish by charging with a wall charger your device
And be progressife for prevent any damage
Second solution
If you're a moldu regarding this previous explain you can also buy a new OEM battery with out warently it was your problem even if you check and see 0 volt caus you can also don't know how use the tool
Have a nice day
