[Q] Totally bricked XPERIA X10 Mini Pro (U20)

Hi there.
Yesterday, for no apparent reason de device stopped syncing my Gapps data. OEM 2.1 ROM. I did a backup and reset the device to factory defaults. Even if battery went to 100% and the USB cable were connected, the phone did not finished the process and now I have a non turning on mini pro. Mac does not feel it, neither Windoze or Linux with dmesg. PC Companion won´t see it neither. Neither FlashTool. I tried to flash it with the original ftf but the phone do not turn on and of course FlashTool won't see it. Tried pressing home and on/off but nothing. I searched like a dork for "bricked xperia x10 mini pro" but there´s a lot of crowd calling a semi-bricked, bricked. Which is not, because a semi-bricked can be repaired with SEUS or even FlashTool.
I know is a whole different animal, but once I bricked a Nokia and with some trickery the device came to life.
Guys, you`re my only hope. I really like this phone for texting and everything.
Thank you for reading. Best regards.

Bump!
Please help me out! At least tell me anything.
Thanks.

What do you mean?
When PC Campanion says "hold back key and connect phone to USB" then It detects the device.
I have bricked SE Xperia X10 mini pro, same simptoms phone doesn't react to anything it's absolutely silent, no image, no text.
And yes I tried SEUS, PC Companion, Flashtool (with ggsetup) and Omnius. Nothing hepled.
May be a battery is down but I can't check it as well.

Same here. The phone doesn't react to "off" button, No LEDs, no display, no sound, won't get recognized by Flashtool when USB plugged in with "back" held, a total, real brick, dark and dead and invisible to all software.
The battery was full - it was full when the phone got bricked by installing a kernel for ICS.

I have the same problem please help:crying:

When you put the tick called "preloader" in Flashtools - then the phone is dead... now only jtag method may can help you(in some phone service)

I remember that one morning I found my Xperia Arc S with stock GB 2.3.4 rom like dead although it was fine when I plugged the charger in before I slept. In the morning I couldn't turn it on, removing and replacing battery did nothing. No light when I charged it. It was really looking like it was forever dead. After a few days, in despair, I tried every reset method I could find about Xperia phones, except the one that finally worked:
I holded the back or menu button (I forgot which one) then plugged in the USB cordon to the computer. I got a green or blue light! I learned later that it was Fastboot mode or Flash mode. Then I unplugged the device, and it started like if nothing happened. I only had this problem once again. Since I rooted it and installed a custom rom, I never had this issue again.
If you didn't try this yet, that is worth trying

[q] hard bricket tablet ippo q78

Hello everyone, I bought a brand new IPPO Q78 (Android 4.0.4) via focalprice.com 2 month ago. First day of using it, and by using I mean simply installing a few apps, and after reboot, I got BOOT LOOP problem, so it wasn't able to get to tablets home screen. After lot of reading about similar problems, I was able to successfully unbrick it using (I suggest others with same cheap china tablet that are also soft bricked to use this program, it really was the only one which helped me):
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f781/android-tablet-wifi-cpu-a10-a13-wipe-rom-easy-zakir-gsm-1656461
Here is my situation now, you can view it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU1KYIrvZWI
Before, when it was soft bricked, at least after this android logo came the android animation that looped forever, but my computer was able to recognize and install the drivers for Android ADB device, now it can't, it won't recognize my tablet no matter what, ONLY when I press volume up and connect it to usb port, then it recognizes and installs vid_1f3a_pid_efe8 driver, which also I cannot use with LiveSuite, why? I really don't know, I've tried every possible solution found on forums (mainly here, but elsewhere also).
Whole this situation is a result of me doing the CWM upgrade/install, I'm a newbie, so I cannot tell for sure what was it, I just know it was from xda--developers forum, more accurately this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189640
after this, poof. I think it is hard bricked, and my question is, is there a way to flash it (btw, tablet is rooted) by only having access through mentioned driver vid_1f3a_pid_efe8 and without LiveSuit, cause I would have to download and try a 100 ROM's before I pin the one that suits my tablet. It's really a tough program to deal with, but if it's the only one, I would gladly format and reinstall my Windows OS as many times I need to to get it working.

[Q] LG optimus pro G bricked after using exitrecovery.zip

hello,
I hope someone can help me with my AT&T LG Optimus Pro G phone, which I have royally screwed up.
I was experimenting with the cyogen mod and after installation I installed the freegee app and once the cwm recovery was installed, I decided to go into the recovery by holding down up volume and power button.
Once I was in recovery for CWM i couldn't exit out, and the phone constantly booted into recovery after every reboot, even if i took out the battery, and powered it on.
I tried reflashing the cynogen mod through the sd card, and even though I would get success message the phone would still reboot into the cwm recovery.
I started doing research on the internet and i found file exitrecovery.zip that could be used to possibly get the phone out of the cwm recovery.
After installing exitrecovery.zip, I rebooted the phone, and now I have complete black screen. There are no light, no hints the phone is even turning on, and I can't get into recovery( or at least I can't tell). The only thing now is that when i connect the phone to the computer the window tries to install drivers for the device, and eventually prompts to insert a CD for LG drivers. I already have LGUnitedMobileDriver v.3.10.1 connection drivers installed from their website.
Please help, I am really stuck here..... and have no clue what to do. I am fairly new with rooting and modding, and I am extremely miserable.
The phone is still under warranty from LG. Anyone if all else fails, and since the phone has no screen or lights, whether they would replace it?
Attaching the exitrecovery.zip that I used.
sobbing....

hi, thanks for your reply. Again I very much new to the rooting and android OS tinkering, and nowhere close to an experienced user.
I tried to use google with your information in regards to how to use flow ROM with expansion.exe, but did not get any leads.
I would appreciate if you could elaborate more on this process.
When my phone is connect to the computer via usb is is constantly trying to install drivers. I had already installed LG usb connection drivers in the past and it was successful. It almost seems it tries to install driver yet fails after receiving no input from the phone, and then request LG CD with drivers.

Try to find driver on the web-site of producer. Set them. Overload a vehicle in Bootloader. In the controller of devices on компе must be determined your device. Then on a computer start sewing - .EXE.

Did you get this problem resolved? I have the exact problem with the exact phone!!!

thank you very much

[Completed] [Q] Bootloop on Huawei Ascend G700-U10

Hi everyone,
First of all, I have some basic knowledge but treat me as an absolute noob please
I have a issue with my Huawei Ascend G700-U10. I tried flashing twrp recovery from the phone itself. It was either a wrong one or (I read that that could happen) something with the partition. The result is a boot loop. My PC does recognise the decive, but only for a few seconds. The flash tool does "try" flashing, but as the phone is disconnected too fast, I get an error message. Without much experience, I'd say that the only way I could flash something is making the phone stay connected longer or make the program flash faster. I have no idea how to make the phone stay connected and tried to only flash the stock recovery because I thought it would have to flash less and get it done in those two seconds that the phone stays connected. That didn't work though.
I thought about buying a new phone anyway, so if I can't solve it, it's not dramatic, but a working phone is always better than one that doesn't.
Thanks for your help in advance

Hi, thank you for issued XDA Assist. I think you're right that you need to flash the stock firmware. I'm not sure why usb would keep disconnecting but try different usb ports, the ones in the back of your pc, and cables.

[F3115] Xperia XA Dead Boot/Hard Bricked (How to fix)

Hello everyone! Recently, My phone is Xperia XA with a model F3115 running Nougat, I unlocked the bootloader and tried to follow this guide so that I could obtain root. Here's the link:
Click here to check the guide!
Suddenly, after I followed the step 6 which is to flash a boot_delivery.xml from a Marshmallow Firmware, It was successful according to flashtool, it said remove the usb but when I tried to connect the usb again, for fastboot mode, my computer doesn't recognize my phone anymore and I can't turn my phone into fastboot or flashboot mode, I can't turn on my device. I've searched guides on how to fix. I found a guide where you need to disassemble your phone and do like Box or something and I also found a guide by using this SP Flash Tool (I can't do it as my phone is unrecognizable by the pc thus, showing Unknown Device when connected). I'm kinda scared to open my phone and wished if I can just fix without doing hardware changes. Anyone knows how to fix? Like should I do the assembly or there are other ways? I'm looking forward for your answers everybody. Thanks!

this isnt an answer
The same thing happened to my Xperia XA1 Ultra like 2 weeks ago and I am so screwed lol. I'm not allowed to buy a new phone so now I have to use my J3 2016. I was trying to flash a rom using flashtool but it came up with an error....blah blah blah...Long story short is my phone shows the charging LED when plugged in but doesn't boot into the ROM or fastboot and the other mode...HELP ME!!!!!:crying::crying:
Actually quite bummed about the whole thing cause my mum bought it as a birthday present and had to work really hard for it and now shes upset

Well... yours phone is dead. Change motherboard or buy new one.
