[Q] Xperia E Total Hard Brick

I came across an Xperia E device for flashing. But its hard bricked I guess.
So far, I've tried to revive it all alternatives except for disassembling the handset.
1) Does not charge with any charger.
2) Have used different batteries.
3) Does not recognize in Flashmode or Fastboot mode
4) USB is not recognized at all.
The only hope that seems to come from this handset is,
Sensor light. This is 'not the Red Light' that comes while charging or powering on.
A small light deep in the sensor appears when doing the following actions:
1) Connecting charger with or without the battery, activates this sensor light.
2) With the battery, when I power it on, the sensor light appears till I release the power button.
3) When doing the power cycle reset option using the volume down or volume up with power button combinations, the sensor light stays till I release the power button.
So there seems no life, in this except for this faint red light in the sensor.
Any ideas?
By the way, this seems to have happened after a full reset including the internal storage using the factory settings reset option.
Device uses a custom rom.

Take Out the Battery!
Hold Volume Down!
Plug in Charger - MAKE SURE ITS FROM WALL SOCKET NOT PC!
YOU SHOULD BE IN FLASHMODE!

I got a Sony Xperia E C1505 (Rooting Status: Bootloader unlock allowed: No).
I have flashed it with free a firmware (C1505_11.3.A.2.33_CE.ftf) and made a backup of the TA partition.
Later the cellular is rebooted and does not boot again anymore, staying in a difficult state of hard bricked and the symptoms are same described by shaam_viru.
In general:
- Volume up down no response (obvious)
- Volume key down no response
- Any USB device (MTP, MSC, Flashmode) is not recognized
- The battery does not charge (wall socket was used not PC)
- Phone do not turn on with or without the battery and the adapter plugged
- Turned on with the battery or with the adapter, the device is limited to cast a faint and fuzzy flow of red light
Greetings.

same problem
I am currently facing this same problem on my device......IT happened as soon as i wiped my internal storage(factory reset including data deletion)....I was on a custom rom as well...The symptoms are the same as the first post.
If someone can help me i would be very grateful

try to put it on charge by plug in to a normal electric socket and check the device reaction.
If you get positive reaction which means LED ON , or battery recharge etc then you are good to go in to the next level which means...
Plug your device in to your PC/laptop. If it gets again with "not recognizing" try different USB port.
If all the ports showing you the same problem, try to find another cable. If you get again the same problem try to find another PC to test if there is recognizable.
these are the first steps you should so before i suggest you anything else. We have to make sure that your device is in a working state.

Can't boot phone

Hello, my Idol 3 4,7" doesn't boot anymore. If I connect it to the charger the white LED flashs and after I disconnect it, it blinks. Before this problem occured I tried to charge it over the night -> it didn't charged.
What I tried to turn it on again:
- Hold all buttons for 15-30 sec
- Connect it to my PC (it don't even recognize the phone in the device manager)
Do I have to send it back to Alcatel?

Screen does not turn on or tablet doesn't turn om

Hi all
I Have a GT-N8000 today i worked with it some
and locked the screen.
after ye while when in press the power button the screen does not turn on
i Plugged-In the charger but no battery icon or Plug-In sound
i connected the tablet to a pc but no statement from pc for a usb device
i am very sad pls help me((((

Could be a dead battery or power button stuck .

No!
When i locked the screen it was 50%
and i plugged-in the charger from night to morning i don't think it is for battery
(No Download Mode-No Recovery)

Well if you say no then it could be the USB port fried or the mainboard .
PC - usb i presume you have swapped the usb cable and have installed Samsung drivers .

But when i plug in the charger after a while the device will be hot:|
Is the problem still form USB cable?:S

Is it bricked or just battery

So the Xperia z3 will not start and it seems that it doesn`t charge, furhther it wont turn on.
Tried VOL+\- + Power button and the little button behind the SIM-Cover - no reaction
When I connect it with a (working) charging unit the LED will light up red and the display shows a battery-symbol filled red on the bottom (10%)for a few seconds, then it turns off and shows the same things (led and screeen). Well it is some kind of loop. I charged it for over 24 hours with different charging devices (up to >2A)
When I connect it to a PC the LED is dark blue. PC Companion says that the phone is locked and I schould unlock it, which is impossible as I am not able to turn the device on
Connecting it to the PC while holding the VOl- the PC Companion can do a software-repair and it says it works, but it doesn`t change the behavior of the phone.

I once got hands on an old Z3 wich showed the same behavior, it was just the battery. I changed the battery and it is now working fine again.
