Hey guys, I used FlashTool and something went wrong. Ever since, My phone will only be a black screen when its turned on and I can't go into recovery mode. I can't work out how to restore it without. Please Please Help!?!?!?

Before flashing press and hold power and volume up buttons together and hold about 10 seconds untill phone vibrate three times.Than star flashtool,hit flash and when you pop up windows show press and hold volume down button and connect phone to cable and flashing will succed.

Great New, I got it working again, Seems like battery life may have been a key issue here. Its loaded up, but got stuck on the blue musical bit and made some horrific beeping noise and keeps rebooting. Any help? I can't seem to get into recovery mode, Maybe thats just my method.

Okay guys, I have an annoying problem. My phone after the ICS update does not want to go into CWM Recovery with the Power button + vol down (or up) method. I can never get the darn thing to work. It just loads up until the white samsung logo and then goes black and just vibrates. Any idea what could be the problem? It's an issue because it means I can't root or anything since stock won't allow me to go into recovery. The only way I used to get into recovery was through rom manager and I obviously need super user permissions to do that.
Another thing is, whenever I power on my phone with the usb cord plugged in, it automatically enters download mode. I know you're suppose to hold certain buttons but I just power the thing on and it goes straight to the DL mode screen. I'm thinking these two things could be related.
Any idea on how to fix this? I went back to complete stock and it didn't do a thing.

My phone was being a bit finicky with this as well, I found the below sequence to work for me every time.
Press and hold both vol+ and vol-
Press and hold power
Wait until phone is vibrating once every couple of seconds
Release power
Release vol+ and vol-

u need to b specific to get proper help.
u stated "Either way, the methods don't work ", specifically what methods r u talking about, there is only one method in using the buttons that works as RabidSmurf has stated, but first pull battery and dont keep usb plugged in, if that didnt work redownload cwm, check the md5 checksum and reflash using odin
To get into download mode I'm holding power+vol up+vol down
after the phone starts up release the power and keep holding up+down.
Let me know how it works.

Make sure it is not attached to any USB. Not even the power outlet because it will take you to firmware update mode (download mode) and hold up down volume keys and power until you see the white Samsung logo. good luck!
i had to deal with this when the firmware failed to ugprade for some reason, what i did was download odin and the stock rom and flash it with odin, i was back up in no time
Not booting
Frnds plz help
After flashing am n m same soc chipset custom rom my phone is not going in cwm also another problem is after pressing the power button the phone screen is gping black n then boot audio is playing but phone is not booting completely.
To be more specific i have cqnvas 2 plus with mt6589 and pne site there was eom name note 5 evolution for a116 hd with same soc i.e. mt6589 hence i flashed the rom it flashed succesfully also but then the problems occurred.
Plz help me fast thx in advance.
Before this,my phone got a problem but it was fixed(bootlooping)
But then about 6 months later a new problem happened,I press the power button,it shows this,then vibrates and freezes....just like that.
I'm not sure if the image is loaded because I had to use my tablet for a while.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? And my phone is not rooted btw.

This is a bootloop issue just like cwm bootloop,your device is soft bricked and you can repair it by flashing the stock firmware of your country using odin,don't worry,see in my signature the way to install your stock firmware(CWM BOOTLOOP FIX)

from an older post i know from a member here that if the phone keeps looping but vibrating (it vibrates every loop) its because the power button is stuck, maybe this helps you

Hi, I'm having a problem with Flashtool... It never happened before. Everything is installed correct, drivers too. I download the Russian Firmware and when i Try to flash it... I connect the phone press the down botton and plug the device, and that's where the problem start, my phone won't switch on, flashtool turn my phone off and I can't switch back on... I already tried to re-install the flashtool, delet files, re-install drivers... but nothing. I already tried in a different computer, same problem.
Please help !
Mobile : Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633)
Try to flash a different ROM, you're safest with Central europe ROM. If your phone is detected by flashtool, then it's probably not a big problem. And download the ROM from XperiaFirn.

Yes... Flashtool detect my phone when it's turned on... When need to switch off and plug holding the down button, I don't know what happens, brick my phone and it don't turn on anymore .... after hours the phone asks for battery and i can switch on by chargin, and it's not a baterry problem.
I don't quite understand what you're doing but just to be sure when the ftf is loaded before plugging the phone hold power+vol up until it vibrates 3 times. Then hold vol down and plug the phone and you should see the led blinking green (one time).

I don't know how to explain that. When flashtool shows the pop up message asking for hold how the vol button and plug the device, the pop up does not fades away and my phones got bricked and does not switch on.
Earlier this day i was rooting my phone, but its not rooted properly and started blinking. i think it was bricked. Please help me to unbrick it. i can't afford a new phone. My phone model is Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ze550kl. Please help me as fast as you can.
[email protected], you can mail me. please try to help me, i am in a serious problem.
Can you start the phone?
If so,you can try to flash the stock ROM.

Try pressing and holding all possible button combinations and see if they get you anywhere. Try plugging the phone into a computer. Try all button combinations while it's plugged in to the computer.
Also if you know how to, check if the computer recognizes the phone in any way (ADB, fastboot, MTP...).
Also what blinking is it?
On the screen? LED? Camera flash?
What colour is it?
What is blinking? An image? Text?

Try power on by press [power]+[vol+] and then [power]+[vol-]

I have tried everything you said. It dosen't worked. My device name "ASUS In Search Of Incredible" in the middle, and at bottom "Powered By android" is blinking. There is nothing more.

Get a copy of the stock ROM and try flashing that in fastboot. This *should* fix your problem.
Hi Guys,
So the story is that I was updating my Xperia Z3 (details below) from TWRP 2.8.6 to 'twrp-3.0.2-0-yuga' using the instructions androidnewsbox.com/2016/02/08/how-to-install-and-update-to-twrp-3-0-0 and after flashing the new TWRP the phone can no longer enter recovery mode and I get no other booting/loading screens.
I had 100% battery when I started the process.
It does still do the little vibrate thing when I hold down the power button but nothing happens after that.
When I plug it into the PC the LED flashes red, then green then goes off.
Reading the instructions twrp.me/devices/sonyxperiaz.html I did use the 'install' function not the 'recovery' function. Is that likely to be the mistake I made? If so is there any way to recover?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Model: D6653
Previous TWRP: 2.8.6
Android version: 5.0.2
Software version: 23.1.A.0.726
Use flashtool to reflash a new system image (ftf). You're using stock so probably your kernel doesn't support FOTA-Kernel partition flashing.
Great to hear back from someone.
Unfortunately I don't think that I can just flash a new ftf using flashtool as I cant get into fastboot mode.
I have been working through the following online tutorial
engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
I have installed the USB drivers on my PC from here
androidmtk.com/download-sony-xperia-usb-driver
And i can get the ftf file from here (mine is 1288-6090)
xpericheck.com/device/D6653
Unfortunately I am unable to put the phone into fastboot mode by holding down the power and down buttons. Nothing happens.
The tutorial above also tells me "If phone not going to Fastboot mode than connect it to PC by USB. Hold Volume Up and Power button until you get company logo or backlight."
This also does nothing and I get no backlight or company logo.
FYI if it helps about a year ago I rooted my phone using a tutorial very similar to this
oneandroid.gs/root-xperia-z3/
I will keep working on the problem and post any updates as they come up.

First hard shut down your phone by using combo, after that, download the ftf for your phone (1288-6090 is the customization, what you need is an ftf that its compatible with your phone model, download flash tools, install the drivers that come with it, and using xperifirm (Included in flashtools) you download the firmware) After you have all settled up, proceed to flash your phone, select firmware and then it'll ask you to connect your phone in flash mode not fastboot mode, you can do that by pressing vol up + power (press them and while pressing them connect the usb to the pc). Then the flashing process will start. You can find many tutorials around here in xda. Do not use external tutorials, go find stuff here. It's way more reliable as many are made just for your phone.
Hi and thanks again.
This gives me plenty to learn about and go forward with thanks heaps.
I will give this process a go later today but I have a few questions if you dont mind.

I am not familiar with any combo and without visual ques from the screen or LED I cant tell if it is off. I have a button that says 'off' near the sim card is that sufficient?

Yes that one, If you press it enough (about 5-10 secs) the phone will shutdown and It wont try to restart. This is what you need first.

No, only when connecting the phone to start flashing the system software, you will see a green light in the notification led that will then shut off and flashing process will start.

This is a great almost-up-to-date guide http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
XperiFirm is included in flashtools now so you don't have to download it, but to get your firmware you have to do the same steps but opening xperifirm from inside flashtool.
You can download flashtool here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Seems to be a success!
Thanks heaps for all your great assistance.
Did you get the Z3 D6653 going again?
Hi H3llcat,
Jumping through some hoops with the D6653 myself... did you get it to boot up? Not sure how far you went with it, if still an issue charge it back up and let's try a couple of things; I realize it'll just be sitting there all dumb and dark like, but do it anyway. So let us know.

Yes I did get everything working, xkeita was a great help and the guide he sent me was useful.
Have you got issues yourself?
