Hello guys, how are you doing?
I'm new to the forum and also to the Xperia cellphones. I'm a big fan of Sony and this was a pending for me.
My E arrived yesterday, and today after fully charging the battery and all, I decided to run the PC Companion to add some music and to check anything I can.
According to the software, there was a new update to it, so, I started to update the Xperia. Everything was going well until an error came up.
I tried to restart the process as the program suggested, but I couldn't do it, and then I thought, ok, maybe I can try it another time.
I unplugged the cellphone, I closed the PC Companion and tried to turn on the phone. Nothing happened.
I removed the battery and tried again. Nothing.
I kept pressed the - volume button to do the update, then I've found out that I was flashing (I think) the Xperia in order to get the newest version available. Am I right? Sorry if this seems too novice, but I'm really worried right now.
When I try to turn on the Xperia it just vibrates for half a second and a green light shows up.
I have NO IDEA what to do, and I will HIGHLY appreciate your help.
Thank you so much in advance.
Eager.

Hey AGuyfromH3LL, thanks for your answer, but the thing is, I disconnected the phone when the error appeared, and I had no other thing to do but to remove the phone from the computer.
I have been looking for information about flashing it, and I downloaded the EMMA soft and stuff, and I've found that my Xperia is locked.
According to the info I've been reading, if I do this process, I'll have the E running up again, but I need a number from it, the issue is that I have no access to the phone right now because is not turning on.

Thank you so much
I'll let you know.
Ok, I had no luck.
The first time I tried it never finished, it stayed checking the header, And now it shows me several different results.
And I'm keep trying.
At the beginning, it showed that the device was recognized in flash mode, but it never showed me that it was an Xperia E, so I looked for the drivers, but now, for example, supposedly is flashing the device, but it's stuck at finishing at ending flash session, and it's been several minutes.
I don't know what do to really.

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.

Is there any way to fix it??
Please help......
volumedown, hold it while pluggin the USB, and flash a stock .ftf via flashtool.
So, I'm not sure if I'm on a right place, but I hope you guys can help me.
I use Xperia J for almost a year now, it has its flaws (a lot of them) and recently it started reseting itself. It just restarts on its own. It goes black sony screen, then black xperia screen, and starts normally, just doesn't ask for PIN like it usually does when I start up my phone. Today, same thing happened, but it stuck on xperia screen. It's not actually "frozen", just that xperia animation is repeating itself. I couldn't do anything, I waited for half an hour. No change. I took the battery out and tried restarting it. Again it's stuck on black xperia screen. I dont know what seems to be issue with it and I really hope you can help me.
ps. sorry for my broken english.

Take out the battery, put it in again, and turn it on. Unless you screwed your phone up so badly that tejasjani55's solution is required, you might try this.

I already tried that too, but still not working.
Not sure, but try this. Take out the battery, and hold the power button for ~5 seconds. Connect the phone to a PC. Flash the stock FTF. When it asks to press the back button, insert the battery (without removing the microUSB). The flash will begin. After the flash is complete, let the phone be for about half an hour, then remove the cable and turn it on.

Hi
I had this same problem a while ago, I am sorry to say your phone is bricked BUT FIXABLE
1. Take battery out of the phone.
2. Install all drivers needed.
3. Download Sony Update Service (Google it).
4.Open SUS and click Agree and next, select the Xperia E and hit next.
5. Put the battery in.
6. Now as instructed by SUS plug in the USB cable to the PC while holding the volume down key.
7. If you have done everything correctly, update service should detect your phone.
8. Click Install and follow instructions on screen.

Okay, I'll try again later with other computer. Nothing wrong with your method, I follow your instructions step by step and when the process completed, I unplug the usb from my phone, exit from SUS, turn on the phone, and still vibrate a second with green light blinking. Now, I try use PC Companion, still progress. Or maybe something wrong with my hardware?

If this is the case then it is bricked. Take it to the store and if your under warranty get it fixed for free. If not your only choice is to pay to get if fixed.

First of all !
I think you might have a battery issue too !
First charge your battery fully !
Incase it isn't charging follow these steps :
- Pull out battery
- Plug in the charger and start charging
- After the charging LED turns on, insert the battery while pressing the back button and during this don't stop charging.
- Congo, now you have your phone charging.
Now, make sure you have an unlocked bootloader of your Phone to try the flashing things and if you already have it unlocked then try relocking it with Flashtool and apply for warranty ! or you can still flash your original stock firmware with locked bootloader too or use Sony Update Service.
You can check out this thread for the Sony Xperia E Single stock firmware and guide to get back into stock :
Link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568176
Or if you want your bootloader unlocked and want to fix the phone then try flashing the stock firmware of your device.
As mentioned by other members in the earlier posts.

Hello,
I tried to install a ROM on my android device for the first time a few daysa ago I followed every step:
Rooted my phone, installed CWM, when I tried to unlock bootloader I got some kind of error, but STUPID me ignored it.
I opened CWM installed the ROM and turned off my phone when I try turning it on it just vibrates and nothing happens then vibrates again in a few seconds.
I have googled a little bit and found out that it might be a thing called bootloop or soft brick but haven't found a working solution anywhere.
TL;DR I bootloopeed my phone. please help people. the past few days without smartphone I understood I can't live without it ;((
sorry for my bad English.

1. Read this link first: http://xperiafirmware.com/2-uncategorised/30-androxyde-xperia-flashtool
2. Download flashtool from
http://www.firmwaremobile.com/index.php/xperiadownload/file/233-flashtool-9-2014
3. Download the firmware from
http://d-h.st/nCu
4. Install the flashtool in C:
5. Go to C:\flashtool\flashtool drivers and install the drivers
6. paste the ftf firmware file downloaded in step 3, to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool i.e. C:\flashtool\firmwares
7. open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.
8.*turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button*
9. after few minutes all is done and your phone gets started
Hit thanks if it helped!! And tell me when it is done
Thanks a lot. I would press THANKS 100x times if I could. Everything is working perfectly thanks to you !!!!!!!!!

Hey!
Recently, I installed Cyanogenmod 11 for my Xperia J but this ROM didn't work great for me as SIM and Camera are the most essentials of the phone and they were not working.
So I decided to revert to my stock android firmware. I downloaded the firmware and flashed it by using Xperia flash tool.
But now (after successful flashing) when I press the power button, a red light on the phone flashes 3 to 4 times and then it goes off and nothing comes up on the screen. And when I put my phone on charging, it just turns up the green light which is known for flashmode.
Please help. I couldn't find the thread related to mine so I posted the new thread. And sorry for my English.
