Xperia L no longer works! - Sony Xperia L

Hello guys I was wondering if anyone can help me with this issue. But first things first the details!
I have kitkat AOSPA 4.0 Beta-6 installed on my xl with thunderzap kernel 4.1 r2 with internal storage fix. I have been running this ROM and kernel on my phone for about 3 to 4 days max.
Now when the issue happened was this morning. The alarm went off my phone and was working fine. I then noticed the battery was at 20% so i decided to switch off the phone and plug it into the mains. I then went out for about 2-3hrs by the time I got back I noticed that the display did not light up with the charging logo when I pressed the power button. I tried to switch it on but nothing happens what so ever.
Things that I have already tried.
-Removed battery for 10mins
-Leave it on charge again for 3hrs
-Tried to enter into flash mode and fastboot.
I have connected the phone to the pc without the battery and the led just lights up green very briefly. My pc detects it as a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4).
I have run out of ideas and any help you provide will be very appreciated.

this happens to me before month (ill send it to RMA and got new motherboard) ive got accidental pc poweroff while flashing
at this moment theres no other way how to revive this state bcz nobody have proper data to program internal mlc via QPST and without this one it means you have dead motherboard, you need to send it to RMA
edit: before you shut off phone you maybe do something wrong, like formating whole internal memory or switching internal to external or something like that ... phone is now in download mode for qpst sw, so it looks like you have no bootloader so phone doesnt know how to boot to os

Thanks for your help. The strange thing is this is my 3rd xperia l because of the same issue it only seems to happen only when flashing another rom other than stock. When I had the same issue they told me there was nothing wrong with it.
I had a Samsung galaxy ace before Major difference in spec I know but I had never had any issues flashing a new rom.
Would they actually repair the phone? as it is rooted and unlocked bootloader?

Propably first ''Sudden Death'' noticed on Xperia L.. That's not funny, Sony.

if mobo is dead they even cant read internal memory, so be calm they probably replace mobo to new one without any asking...
and this is not bcz flashing this is only bcz human factor...

Interesting well it wont be long until I have a new contract anyway. Hopefully I will get a new one. I just wont use a custom rom ever again.
Thanks for your support on this matter.
EDIT: Is there anyway to get the bootloader to work again if thats the reason to why it will not boot.
On the rom that I used for it. It had emulated the internal storage just to get the 4g back.

Try to flash a stock ftf, losing your data (I'm sorry) if you can enter flashmode. Then try to not install the Kernel, possibly the problem is there.
Luck!

no theres no other way to get internal memory back, its gone, its erased (whole 8gb memory, even partitions or bootloader is erased) or memory chips are broken nothing more or less
theres a sw called QPST from qualcomm for programming internal memory (mainly for right partitions formating inside mmc and basic BL programming) without it theres no other option than get your xl to RMA and mobo change

OP said that in first comment that his xl is dead without flashmode/fastboot mode, and if it shows in pc after connection qhusb dload driver memory is broken or formated, mobo=dead
kernel surely cant broke your xl, only playing with memory like switch internal/external

Sorry Man, your phone is now at the heavens of mobile phones.
Buy another XL!

[Q] Bricked my Xoom with ClockworkMod SD Partition

My Xoom is now bricked after I tried partitioning the SD card with the option in Rom manager. I believe I was on the 3.0.2.5 version and now just reading that it is causing issues to other devices as well. This was unfortunately the latest version available on my Xoom per the app.
I tried everything I found as far as trying to revive it. It doesn't turn on at all. When plugged in, the little white light comes up showing charging but cannot power it at all. I tried holding the volume and power buttons any imaginable ways that I found here and no sign of life.
Anyone know other tricks to make it work again?
time to call moto and do an exchange
Yeah, most bricks are a false alarm but this doesn't sound good at all.

[Q] Nexus S - can't mount anything! - stuck on Google Logo

Hello!
Okay, so the weirdest thing has happened with me. My Nexus S (i9023) was working absolutely fine till last evening when it ran out of battery. After I came back home, I put it for charging and switched it on.
For the first few time, nothing would show except the USB connected/ disconnected screen which appears everytime you plug your phone in. I thought maybe it was just being weird, so I took out the battery and booted it up again. This time I am just stuck at the Google Logo! It is not going ahead.
I can enter CWM Recovery. However, I cannot mount sd card or usb storage or anything for that matter. If I try and install through .zip it says 'e can't mount sd card'. I can't format my sd card either, same problem of can't mount. I thought if I tried pushing a ROM in by ADB that might work.. It did transfer the file it showed that in the cmd window. However, CWM refuses to mount my sd card or my usb storage.
So basically, in essence, I'm locked out of my Nexus! Please please help. I'm really lost and confused now.
Thanks so much.
Alex
Similar problems below in this thread with solutions.
Let your phone sit for an hour with the battery out, Download Wug's Nexus Toolkit from the development section, download drivers from there and install stock boot img then re-root.
I have never seen it before but seems like this prob is coming up a lot lately. It can be fixed. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply. I'm starting now. I have a doubt, how do I install stock? Since I can't seem to be able to mount anything..
"It can be fixed" - few words have given me this much hope in my life! Thanks a lot!
EDIT: I guess you mean flash through ADB right? Okay, let me try that. I really hope you are right. Some of those other problems lead to paying up! Ouch.
Hey! I just tried using WUGS.. for some reason it does not make the final boot and instead says: 'Fastboot Status - FAILWrite Fail' -- oh god.. I'm trying it again now..
Is there any other way out? :/
Okay, so now my recovery is also gone after using WUGS.. oh man. And the phone isn't starting up. Please please please help? I'm getting really desperate now.
EDIT: And it sucks that I can't post in the WUGS thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475) because I have less than 10 posts! fml.
can you boot into fastboot? If so then itnwasnthe same prob I had when I wiped my phone and SD in recovery. If you can boot into fastbootnthen makensurenyou leave the batt out format least an hour. If you installed Wug's drivers the bottom left corner ofnfastboot should give a message.

Yes, I can get into fastboot - i'm leaving the battery out now - do you think i should try
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
and then flash everything again?
There is always a way to recover the nexus right? Even if it is hardbricked, right?
I really really appreciate your help.
I too have this problem but after a lot of battery pulls it does eventually start up. It just started happening all of a sudden. Ive heard that heating it up with a hair dryer or heatgun can help and also re-locking and un-locking the boot loader can help as it wipes the card. Could be worth a try.
Any luck Someone? I know it sux big time to feel like your phone is bricked. I am not a dev or expert but it sounds like the prob I had last week, when I posted no one replied so I ordered a GNex thinking all was lost. Before I activated my new phone I felt like I had to fix my nexus before getting started on my new phone and that's my situation. I don't want you to feel like the community has forgot you and thats why I'm trying to help. Were you able to get Wug's Toolkit to recognize your phone after leaving the batt out? I don't know why but I think that's the key. I had to leave mine overnight 'cause I don't have a PC and the next day at my friends house when I plugged the USB in I got that message at the bottom of fast boot "system normal" or something to that effect. Once recognized the stock boot IMG is what you need.
ANY ONE ELSE WHO HAS HAD THIS OR A SIMILAR ISSUE PLEASE GIVE SOME ADVICE. LET'S NOT LEAVE A COMMUNITY MEMBER WITH A LIFELESS PIECE IF PLASTIC. THANKS FORUM.
To set your mind at ease yes, I believe as long ad you have access to fastboot your nexus can be saved.

sounds to me like a hardware issue, since you haven't changed software and it seems like a brick. try flashing stock rom via fastboot, you should be able to google around how you can do that.

Hi, if I'm not wrong essentially what WUG does automatically is what you do by fastboot (erase bootloader, cache, system.. and then flash all of them back) in both system fails to wipe and refuses to be flashed again (flashwrite error).
I don't want to lock it and then unlock it again because I read in other threads that it might lead to a permanent lock with an error for subsequent unlocking - that would leave me completely out.
Anyway, let's see - I've given it to someone to check it up. I'll keep you guys posted. He said he wanted to repartition the sd card.
My intuition says: hardware problem!
So I tried Odin today - and that also did not work it refused to flash the ROM. In the process I somehow managed to mess up the bootloader such that the phone would have some two lights on randomly when I switch on. It doesn't go into download mode either. I next plan to use JTAG to get the bootloader back and then reflash everything. Hopefully, that should sort things out. The Resurrection tool is amazing! I'll keep you guys posted.
Get it going someone?

I have the same problem as you, with the added difficulty of my phone not being recognized by anything other than fastboot. No ADB commands will function. It was charging, rebooted itself into a bootloop, and I have been struggling with it ever since. It is currently a worthless piece of plastic, my favorite phone ever, gone.
I can wipe and re-write recovery all that I want, but it seems as if the sdcard partition that /system and some other stuff writes too is either corrupted or physically damaged. Every time I flash it all via fastboot it all goes as stated, but gives me a fail message on the last two partitions and never allows me to actually write a new ROM or boot image. I wanted to try ODIN but can't seem to get it to recognize my phone in download mode...
Let me know if you have any success or progress!

Hey Nexism! Sorry for the late reply - things've been busy.
The JTAG is giving an internal voltage for some reason - so I've sent it for repair. It'll be repaired by tomorrow or so.. I'm then going to set it back up. It's all already soldered and all, just waiting for the JTAG. I think I've understood how this thing works now. So yeah, I'm hoping it's all sorted. Thanks a lot for your concern man.

Well my phone went blank - no fastboot mode - no download mode - no nothing - when i'd put the battery in randomly two of the four front lights would come on.. JTAG is going to solve the problem hopefully.

So ladies and gentleman, JTAG also failed - apparently something was wrong with the sd card only. I got my motherboard replaced - luckily the guy I went to knew someone and Samsung and charged me Rs. 4,000 as opposed to the Rs. 8500 quoted by the Samsung Service Centre. Oh well.
Back on my Nexus now. XD

I am with the same problem here... I cant turn off my phone or it get stuck in pre-boot phase. Acess recovery and cant mout sd card. Using last stable cm 10.
I think my sdcar is dead.
Same problem here. Around 8 out of 10 times I get stuck on the Google logo, 8 out of 10 times in recovery I can't mount SD card as well. And if I successfully boot, Media wakelocks and my battery drains in sleep as fast as if the screen were on. Please help.
For me I first noticed that my apps weren't using the SD partition. Tried to mount normally (fully loaded ROM) (ROM is SlimBean Beta2), but it would not mount. Went into CWM and tried to mount in there, but it would not work. tried to "Format /sdcard" but "Error mounting /sdcard". My phone still boots and runs fine, but I just don't have access to the SD partition. I don't want to do anything because I need my phone for business. Is there any PROVEN way to fix this yet?

bricked my tipo

Hi guys so i flashed cm 10 and the bootloader all was fine switched internal for eternal storage still every thing was fine tried restoring some apps it stuck at 92% for 3 hour so i rebooted phone, then gave back to wife however dont think she liked it and she told me she had restored back to factory and when her phone rebooted nothing happened i have tried hooking it up to flash tools but it wont find my phone i have tried logging in to fastboot via cmd prompt just says waiting for device no lights come on totally dead me thinks but looking for an expert to tell me hopefully different
but really think its dead it also as unlocked bootloader please help TIA
Oh it might be hard bricked.. Does it vibrate on pressing power button. Flashmode doesn't start? (green led)
And how did your wife return to stock? Flash ftf file?
Also how does device manager show the connected phone?
Sent from my ST27i
no it doesnt vibrate and no lights all she did was it was on cm10 she went into settings and restore to factory then this happened pc makes the noise when plug it in but nothing happens and device manager wont pick it up, dont even thinki can take to shop or send to sony as it has unlocked bootloader can this phone be fixed to u no bud or will it be cheaper to just buy new 1 as i honestly think this 6 week old phone is dead it doesnt do anything m8
Download stock ftf
Open flashtool first
Press power off +vol down button and connect usb quickly if flashtool recognizes
Then flash the stock ftf and research before flashing anything
And give me the built number of cm10 buicd
noob and learning
hit thanks if I helped you
it was fxp 211 and fashtool doesnt help m8 as it wont pick my phone up
Sounds hard bricked.. Try flashtool on another pc to rule out driver issue. If flashtool can't fix it, it's gotta go back to Sony.
Also try plugging it to charger for a few hrs, battery may be drained..

from what i have read bud sony will charge me to fix it as i have unlocked bootloader will it be cheaper to buy new phone or will it be best to send back TIA

You will have to act lame, and not mention anything about rooting or unlock bootloader.. Tell it died under normal circumstances, like dead battery, or something weird like crashed, and on reboot it never started. Depending on how you sell it, and your country, them may not check BL (or they may not be able to) so give it a shot and be creative
And before repairing and charging you anything, they have to inform you of your warranty status, so you can decide then which is cheaper.

awesome thanks m8 i will give it a try as i got nothing to lose bud kind of hoping it needs a new phone so they dont find out but thanks for help m8
same thing happened to me.just take it to any repair center.
They check via IMEI if the bootloader is unlocked. If it is they don't touch it and they tell you to buy a new one. My tipo was dead almost two months ago. If it is possible use another battery and try to install stock firmware via flashtool. My brother has Neo V which use the same battery with tipo and my device became alive.

i think i have hard bricked my Sony Xperia Tipo.. Just after installing CM10 FXP 212 i tried to reboot but it would not boot. It is totally dead. After i take out the battery and put it back it vibrates but can boot up...
Is there any way to fix it??
Please help......
volumedown, hold it while pluggin the USB, and flash a stock .ftf via flashtool.

My N8000 is fully dead!!!

I am so sad as I write this...:crying:
I had TWRP custom recovery and running the ARHD 9.0 rom.
I was tempted to try the other roms so I played around with Omega and ReVolt rom..they worked fine...
Then, when I tried to reflash ARHD 9.0, I could get to TWRP recovery but it just reboots even before any of the buttons appear.
So, I went into download mode and flashed HighOnAndroid custom recovery.
It seem to work fine....so I went ahead and flashed ARHD 9.0....It installed fine and completed successfully.
But when I rebooted the device...sigh...no power, not even the charging animation when I plug it into the charger...
So, if anyone has a solution on what I should do, please do tell me or I am really sad...so so sad...:crying:
Try a different charger, cable and wall outlet. Leave the n8000 there for a while. Hold the power button for a while, then let it go. Listen closely to the speakers for the little samsung sound when it turns on. Idk if the rom you installed has a boot sound tho. Anyways, if you still dont have an answer after that.. I would maybe start to think the power button is dead. Its a last ditch option but plausible i suppose lol.
Beyond that, you might have to think about sell it for parts.
Oh and i remember from my time with the Samsung vibrant that sometimes, even if nothing comes up on the screen, the device might be picked up by Odin after doing the dl mode button combo

As you have root and custom rom then warranty is void .
If Samsung cannot tell that you have root and custom rom is a different matter .

There was no error at all while flashing the ARHD 9.0.....and when I click on the finish and restart/reboot button at the end, boom..it shutdowns and dies on me...
I have googled it but no one has ever come across this kind of problem.
Since it is completely dead, there is a chance that sammy will not know it's rooted and running custom firmware.
Thanks to you and JJEgan for your concerns and suggestions.
As it sounds like a hardware issue, Samsung will likely fix it under warranty. At least that was my experience with Asus on my previous tablet.

Do you know.if your battery was almost dead when flashing that last. Rom? I've heard that can brick ur device if it dies in flashing process. (Even tho you said flash completed) but who knows?

I am not very sure about the exact battery percentage but yeah, it was low...somewhere about 10%~30%.
So, does that mean there is no way to revive it?
:crying:

Unfortunately not without a new motherboard it seems like. If the is no sign of life, no recovery, no download mode and can't flash via oden or kies on computer with proper drivers installed. Then it sounds like a hard brick. Not recoverable unless new motherboard or JTAG. :/
Sorry man. But in future never flash if less than 30% battory. I've heard some pple say not below 50%
I don't know if your 10.1 died while flashing, but if so it could hard brick
50% is the suggested level of battery because flashing actually uses a large amount of battery. Also the tablets seem to power down things at 10%power.
Could be it shut off if the power dropped below 10%. This is why we suggest to not flash below 50%...

so sad....lesson learnt too late....the hard way :crying:
But I guess I have learnt one more way of hardbricking a device.
dude, seems like maybe a problem with your "main board"... i had the same issue at my galaxy tab 2, and i sent it to the shop ( because its passed warranty period already)...

Constant rebooting

I have the cricket model. Sometime last night my phone started rebooting on every ROM and kernel. Nothing I do will get it to stop. It doesn't happen in TWRP and that's it. I thought maybe it was a battery issue as I haven't been able to fully charge it because of this issue but that's not helping either. I've been trying to use the upgrade tool but in this state the computer never even recognizes the phone and I can't even get that far, plus it reboots even when in download mode. I'm about to call cricket and see if they can just send me a new one since I've only had it a week but is there anything I can do? Does anyone have a boot IMG for complete stock 60450 ?!? EDIT: Got the tool to recognize phone and start process but what do ya know phone reboots even deep into download mode. It just always wants to restart to the system for some reason, except for when on twrp. UPDATE:EDIT: Turns out the reason the upgrade app wasn't working is because i didn't have enough space for the update to download on the PC . I didn't realize because the app never stated why it was restarting my phone or disconnecting so I just assumed it was related to why my phone kept restarting on all ROMs. Wow lol I feel so damn stupid for not thinking of this 2 days ago. Its installing now and hopefully this fixes my reboot issues. Thanks to everybody here for helping and answering my 1000 question's on every post. Really appreciate it.
it looks like motherboard is gone. I hope you can return it when you have custom rom installed.

I've had the phone for one week lol. Motherboard is gone? Could something be messed up in build prop somewhere? I did try to use a DPI changer app on stock rom once or maybe xposed? I've done a lot of flashing since I got it trying to find the perfect setup. I just noticed that the USB cable it came with is crap so now that I'm using a different one I'm hoping that low discalobrated battery was the issue. Charging it up proper and gonna see what happens after. Also for some strange reason the Flyme OS ROM is the only one that doesent seem to want to restart as often. It still does but it lasts a lot longer before doing so , why idk lol.
turn off the phone, charge it fully and then run the upgrade tool to go back to stock.

I wasnt previously able to corectly charge becauss when i would turn the phone off to charge it wpuld power up instead of gking to the charging acreen. I think the USB cable that came with the phone might have been faulty and I just didn't notice it somehow. Now that I've charged the phone to 50% Flyme is up and running without a reboot, although running quite hot....which could also be the issue. Maybe the metal on the USB tip got toasted. That would explain my reboots in download mode but it doesent explain why the phone never once rebooted on me while in twrp and why it would reboot even while not being charged and had like 30%. Gonna charge it up to 100 and try the tool again.

if you can boot to flyme, and got no reboots in TWRP i suggest you flash from TWRP your previously mad ebackup..if you dont have any, just flash stock kernel or look here in threads, there was a thread and it contains TWRP backup of stock rom..if you find TWRP backup of your STOCK 6045O then flash it from TWRP, and if you dont observe nay reboots, it was due to the kernel. IF it still reboots send it to warranty repair.

Well I'm back on CM now with no reboots. I guess my USB cable just sucked and my battery calibration was off so the battery was showing more than it actually had and probably causing instability. However, I still can't get the tool to work. It just reboots at around 22% exiting me out of download mode. BTW I've searched and scowled almost every thread and I can't find a stock kernel. There's the arde one but I thought that was just his custom kernel for stock. And the twrp back up I definitely can't find. I seen the thread but there was no link.

If it was the USB cable why is mobile upgrade tool rebooting the device at 22%? It makes no sense. It could be the pins on the usb socket on the phone or i dont know.
You should ask someone with the 6045O device to send you the boot.img (aka kernel) of stock 6045O.

Well I first noticed my cable was funky when I loaded up Flyme it kept making an unplug sound and I thought it was just the ROM glitching out but I changed the cable and it stopped. About the tool......I have a Windows tablet that it's only USB connection is one of those mini USB to full adapters and it's a little loose. I have zero problems with it plugging my phone into it for file transfer or for adb, it's all fine there so idk why it would be causing an issue with the tool, last time I tried it k specifically made sure all connections were sturdy and didn't move the whole time and it still rebooted. I noticed somebody in one of the threads said his device did the same thing though and that's why he couldn't use the tool as well......nobody ever replied to him lol
Ahh I spoke to soon. Restored my stock, because that's what I prefer for even at OC it still doesent make the phone nearly as hot as CM ROMs and the restarts came right back even with a decent charged battery. I'm back on CM again though and its not happening. Doesent make much sense because before the restarts were happening across all ROMs. It can't be the kernel in my stock restore as I had used it a bunch of times before with no issues...... Though it is saved on my external SD..... But so is the cm build I'm using. Idk whats going on here. Just wanna return the phone to full stock and call it a day lol. Edit: spoke to soon again lol. There goes CM rebooting, although it took way longer than stock to do so.
