I flashed a wrong recovery img... now the Xperia c2305 is not booting. It is only showing red light when i connect to computer.
I tried the PC companion method and wmshua flash tool. but it doesn't detect my phone.
How to repair this ??
How can i repair this using testpoint method or Meta mode method??

so your pc doesn't detect your phone?
when you plug your usb + press volume down at the same time green light should appear, what happen in your case?

same problem

I am also facing same problem and yes when I press volume down while plugging in, the orange light blinks once in 10sec but the device doesn't get recognized or nothing is happening on the device side.

this is how I solved it

I flashed a wrong recovery.img and that's it the phone wouldn't boot. If I connect to pc companion it just shows blinking orange light but is not detected. This is what I have found out
1. the phone is struck in a bootloop which drains all the battery -- Press the hard reset button at the back of the phone to break from this loop
2. Put the phone on charge for a while ( now it should at least show a steady orange led indicative of charging) as this is needed for software repair
3. Use software repair in sony pc companion for restoring stock android os. -- if the phone is not detected when you plug in while holding volume down key, then release the key once and again press and hold it while the usb is still connected (this worked for me)
4. once the phone is detected and repairing has started the process may fail in between and pc companion may say repair failed!(don't loose hope) -- disconnect from pc, press hard reset button again and repeat steps 3 & 4. ( the repairing process will resume and will be completed slowly)
Note: If your phone is struck at sony logo or is not fully switched off press and hold the power+volume up key together to first switch if off and then connect to pc companion

Hi,
What verison of Android do you have on your M2?
Do you use a stock ROM or have you flashed a custom ROM on your device?

Ok, can you boot in recovery mode if you press POWER and VOLUME MINUS at the same time or by running adb reboot recovery ?

Try to flash it using EMMA:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Andr...ony-Flash-tool-for-Xperia-devices/td-p/307318
and see if the computer detects the device. Also remove SIM and SD cards and try to boot the M2.

When I connect it in the PC, there is a sound when you plug and unplug a device, thats sounds plays seconds after connect i(it connects it, and then dicsonnects it automaticlly) also It only recognize it when I plug it in fastboot mode..
When I try to power on the device while is in the charger, the no battery big white icon shows, and thats it.

So you can start your M2 in fastboot mode, the led light should turn into blue.
You can try to flash TWRP recovery and then the ROM again, download twrp.img from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767112082
Then to flash it to the M2 from a command line run:
adb reboot bootloader (to enter in fastboot mode)
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/the/twrp.img
Then try to reboot into recovery mode running:
adb reboot recovery
And then from the TWRP menu -> WIPE -> INSTALL the ROM file again.

When I type the first I get a error - error: device '(null)' not found
The device is connected by the way (I got the blue light).

Ok, so adb is not recognizing the device.
When you connect the M2 make sure you hold the VOLUME DOWN before connecting the USB-cable and hold it until EMMA detect it., this can take up to 1 minute. If this didn't help, force a shutdown holding the POWER and VOLUME UP buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds, then connect it to the wall charger and charge the M2 for two or three hours. You can also try by pressing the OFF button on the MICRO SIM slot.

I tried this with Flashtool, its not working, and by the way I have opened the back panel and I have access to the battery, and I can disconnect it directly, to force shutdown it. I did it, and put it on charge for whole day and night, no success at all... :///

Please help me

Hi
I've made a bad mistake which I'm hoping people can help me with. I tried updating my phone wit MIUI 8 as I had an issue with my battery. My updater app on my phone was not working so I downloaded zip file and tried doing it manually from the app. Then my phone just turned off and I'm unable to turn on or charge. None of the button combinations work and when I plug in to my laptop through usb port I get a message saying it doesn't recognise device. I've tried using unlock function on website but get error messages in chinese around ip address to malfunctioned phone number so no luck there.
Appreciate any help as I had a lot of information, apps and data that i would hate to lose. I lost my wife 3 months ago and I have some precious memories on that phone. I know I should have done a backup beforehand and that was stupid of me.
Is there anyway i get can my back in without losing data. if not then anyway at all to get my phone working.
Thanks, from a very down MI4C user

Try holding one of the power buttons(don't remember which one) and plug in the cable so the phone boots into fastboot mode. If you manage to get into fastboot boot TWRP and copy your files straight from it as it has mtp support. If your PC sees your phone as an unrecognizable device there's a big chance you can recover your data. Last hope would be to use a modified usb cable for edl flashing although this way you'll most likely lose your data.

Thanks, first suggestion doesn't work unfortunately. I have now been given permission to unlock bootloader but problem is the device is not recgonised due to usb issue.
So I cant turn on, won't charge etc and none of button combinations work. Has anyone encountered the issue with usb before. Unsure of 'modified usb cable for edl flashing'. All very frustrating.
thanks for any help

Anyone else have any ideas. Desperate here without my phone and important data

Have tried everything at this stage...utter despair. My phone just won't turn on or charge or enter fastboot mode etc
Anyone please help

The modified USB cable that I spoke of is used to force boot the phone into emergency download mode. It's baisicly a last hope flashing method that should work regardless of how broken the phone is. The only downside is that using this mode you only can flash via miflash and this will wipe your data. As for the cable you can either make one (look for deep flash USB cable schematic, it involves swapping 2 wires) or just buy one. Once you get into edl just follow the unofficial bootloader unlock guide to flash the 6.1.7 rom as it is flashed in the emergency mode.
Edit: whenever you plug your phone into your PC does the screen or led diode light up at all? You can also try holding vol- and power button and plug the phone into a charger (not PC) to see if it will respond at all. Charger gives more current so maybe it will force the phone to boot.

Thanks Adi. I don't think I will be able to make one. I've seen some threads elsewhere about getting into EDL mode, do you always require modified cable to do so?
Nohting happens when I plug it into PC, no lights etc. Tried charging using normal power supply but nothing happens either. Have even tried connecting to powerbank overnight but no power is taken from it.

So there is no "unrecognized device" popping up in windows anymore?
If so, let the phone lie for 1 more day (without connecting any power sources to it). Afterwards charge it (with a normal charger and a cable that works for another phone) for about 2 days (or until you see the notification led charging). if nothing happens you can try a different charger or an usb port for another 2 days.
If your computer recognizes the device ("unrecognized device" or just any reaction by connecting the phone) try to reinstall all the drivers (xiaomis/qualcoms, as well as adb, fastboot) and see if there is something happening.
Report back if it helped.
Edit: Did you try different cables? had similar problems with op2 (not recognizing) with xiaomi cable...
Edit2: to make sure the device is completely dead, use a linux distro (e.g. Ubuntu, ensures that there are no driver problems, you can install it on a usb drive) and a cable which surely works (try it on at least 2 other phones, if data transfer works its ok) then first install fastboot (ctrl+t to open a terminal) by copy/pasting "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot". Afterwards hold vol- and power button for at least 12secs and plug mi4c in (release the buttons after plugging it in). Now you can run "sudo fastboot devices" and see if there is sth listed (should even recognize it in edl).

You don't need to use the modified cable as you can enter edl from fastboot, but the cable method is used to force the phone into it if you can't enter it the normal way. As for rescuing it, try the method @wertus33333 suggested.

Did it work?? Any information would be appreciated, so the next one with this problem doesn't have to open a new thread.... @colb16

Apologies for not updating, I got an answer on MIUI official forum from a very helpful member called Codex. Below are steps he asked me to follow and although it took a few attempts my phone came back to life after following below and then pressing power and volume down for numerous minutes.

Fast Boot Loop in "...Use The Emergency Recovery Function..." screen!

Hello everyone,
I was trying to flash a firmware into my Samsung Galaxy J4+ (SM-J415FN) using Odin3. While the Odin3 was flashing the firmware, electricity got cut off and the PC went off.
The phone showed a screen: "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software".
When the electricity came back on, I connected my phone to the PC, and the phone started boot looping in the same screen. When I remove the plug, it stays off. Once I reconnect the plug, it starts boot looping. If I press POWER DOWN + UP at the same time while it is turning on (in order to go to DOWNLOAD MODE), it works, but once I press the VOLUME UP to CONTINUE, it shows the DOWNLOAD screen, stay there for a couple seconds, and then start looping again.
What can I do? Please, I really need to solve this.

Not necessary.
The battery has become depleted.
Boot to the download mode confirmation screen with the USB cable attached to PC. Do NOT select up to go to DOWNLOAD mode.
Leave in this state for a good few hours, may even need overnight.
This is to get some charge into the device, albeit slowly.
After a few hours try and swap to the mains charger. Hopefully the device will not turn off. If it stays on leave the mains charger connected for a while then press up to go to DOWNLOAD mode.

Hi, i've fixed this charging the phone not in confirmation screen but in the screen with serial number and imei (volume up+volume down+power button, and plug the usb cable, then release the button slowly)
If the phone reboots release the volume up first, then the volume down and then the power button.
Now you leave it charging and then reboot in download mode and flash rom with odin.
Let me know if you fixed it!

If i plug it in pc, got bootloop in confirmation screen, enter download mode, imei screen.
Last hope is plug it in charger, press Vol Up + Vol Down + Plug cable to charger (i leave it in confirmation screen don't press Vol Up or Down).
After an hours i take it out and plug it in pc, press Vol Up to enter Download mode and voila it didn't reboot so i just flash it with Odin.

I'm in bootloop as well, and for some reason, even when on 'enter download mode' confirmation page, the device turns off 30secs later. Same behaviour when I go on the page with IMEI, but there the device stays powered on longer (a minute or so). All while the device is plugged into my PC. Any help?
