Hello
Yesturday i tried to repair my phone in Sony PC Compainion. Everything went fine until i had to put it into flash mode. I did that, but a error came up saying something about i maybe need to re-download the update. Ok, i unplugged my phone from the PC, and then i tried to turn it on. When i held down the On/Off button nothing happened. Hmmm, I then tried to Hold the On/Off button and the middle key at the same time to see if i could reset it, but the only thing that happened was that the phone vibrated, and blinked green a couple of times. I then tried to put it in the charger but it didnt charge. I had it in the charger until now but now On/Off+Middle key it blinks red.
I also tried puttin it into flash mode again but same ****.
Sorry if this is wrong forum, not really sure where else to put it
Thanks!
I'm using sony xperia V and after flashing a cyanogenmod rom which installed perfectly, until I select reboot and the screen
turns black and no matter which button combination or whatsoever I can't boot up.
The only things that happen is:
if unplugged, pressing the power button will vibrate the phone and green LED flash for a second
if plugged into computer the green LED flashes for a long time. Holding the volume+ button before plugging in will flash a blue LED light for some time
Both plugged and unplugged, the screen shows nothing at all, which means can't enter recovery mode, safe mode or download mode.
Is there anyway I can solve this? Or I can only buy a new phone or act dumb at the sony store.
Thanks in advance and sorry for any trouble
[Edit]I finally found a way to solve this problem after hours of frustration. Thanks to this amazing website which I couldn't post it here due to being a new member, which I could say it's from a website named androidgadgetmatic, really turned a completely useless brick into a perfectly working phone again. The only problem left (which happened before bricked) is that my phone couldn't read or even find SD card, any help in this area guys?
Well, I've never hard bricked any android (so far), but i think that this is it.
I tried some swap script in init.d folder on my vengeance kernel, but after reboot (or what should be reboot) my xperia tipo didn't boot at all. Hell, it didn't even try lol
So, I tried everything: removing and inserting battery, power and vol+ pressed for reset, fastboot and flash mode on pc with vol+/vol- pressed and connecting USB, but no feedback at all- no vibration, no green or blue led, no ˝device conneced˝ in flashtool log, not even red led when charging with wall charger!
Only thing that still gives me hope is 3 red led flashing when holding power button, indicating very low power level, I suppose. This is the one and only feedback and sign of life from my phone and it's not showing when pressed power button while connected on wall charger or USB.
I have this phone on wall charger for last 3+ days, with no changes in described condition and behaviour, it had 'round 20% battery when gone brick.
I've read tens of threads involving xperia bricks, but they mostly involve removing cable connnecting motherboard and battery in order for chips to lose power and reset as condition for flashtool and stuff, BUT i figure it's for phones which battery can't be pulled out easily- which is not the case with my tipo st 21i
So, guys, PLEASE help me revive my beloved phone, if it is possible.
Be saluted, and help meee
Also, it had:
-gimlo rom v2.1
-vengeance kernel latest version for tipo-tapioca
-and, of course, unlocked bootloader

I decided to try decharging battery completely. I did rubber band trick on bower button untill red led flashing 3 times then pause 1 sec stopped completely. Then I set flashtool for only kernel flashing - excluded everything but kernel - did rubber band trick on Vol- this time and connected with USB. Red led started flashing 1 time every 3 seconds for roughly 10 minutes, with no results. After that flashing stopped again, just like on wall charger. When removing USB and holding power button I can see 3 red flashes consecutively, then 1 sec pause and so on.
My hope is dying slowly, if there is anybody with any idea, please help me.
Be saluted all

If u have an incompatible kernel, the phone won t charge. Flash your ftf with flashtool. then leave on charge.

I would only if I could, but, as I said before, phone won't get into flashmode, nor fastboot. Please, read my previous posts
Tipo's lights indicate fastboot and flashboot but doesn't work
My case is also similar, i managed to flash one rom from my sdcard, which it asked for reboot, when i rebooted the phone , its not even going in CWM, even the sony logo is not appearing.
but when i connect phone in fastboot mode (Vol- button + power button and connect to pc), it green light can be seen. but the issue is, my phone does not detect on pc, even though i as sony pc companion. The same i tried by downloading pda.net drivers but nothing worked.
Please help...!!

And you tried with flashtool on your pc?
And if you have flashtool on pc and flashmode and fastboot drivers installed, and you connect your phone to pc while flashtool is ready for flashing stock rom, open device manager and see if there is any unrecognized driver. Then tell me. Also tell me if you have by accident windows 8 on your pc

I"ve got thesame problem like you bro last time after using a vengeance kernel latest version in my tipo,thesame problem like you told the only way that i can fix my phone that time is to install a ADB driver to my pc because when im using a flashtool it didnt recognize my phone in flash mode and fastboot mode but after installing a adb driver in my pc and im using the flashtool it recognize my phone but it takes time to recognize it for the first time so be patience and after that i flash my firmware and now my phone is working but i never try again to use a vengeance kernel to my phone
Hi all,
I flashed TWRP recovery succesfully after unlocking my bootloader, unfortunately after flashing a newer version the phone entered a death sleep state.
I'm unable to get it working again, nothing... fastboot etc, tried everything.
Any ideas or things left that I could try?
Regards,
Niek

It was not showing any led at all, but after a night of charging the red light starts blinking. Different patterns, first a small pause, 3 blinks, and a small pause.
No i've attached it to the pc and it is blinking red, at around 50% brightness, a pause, and then red led at 100% brightness.... the pc is constantly making a sound that it is connected and disconnected.
When attached to the wall charger again the red led is blinking at a normal pattern, on off at the same brightness.
Tried everything, holding different buttons, sony repair tool....
I'm assuming you used the reset button on the side (next to where the nano sim goes).
Have you tried to force the device to flash mode? I mean, use flash tool to apply an ftf firmware?
Yes I used the reset button and also tried to force it into flash mode, flashtool recognises a device connecting but it disconnects 1 second after that and connects again.
Have you solve your problem?
Hi there i have this Xperia Z5 Sov32 from January 2019 it was working fine until few days ago the battrey got low at 0% and i plugged it into wall charger after few minutes it have gone upto 17% i pressed the power button to turn the phone on but it gave me a gray screen, before i pressed the power button the charging green bars can be seen, but after i pressed the power button the screen goes grey and no xperia logo screen, then i tried to reset it, by pressing power button + volume up but no use, then tried power + volume down but not working no recovery mode, then i tried power + volume up and volume down, but nothing then i tried the little yellow button near the sim card slot for few seconds, it gave me 3 vibrates but nothing happens after it same gray screen when i try to turn the phone on. then i tried yellow button for 120 seconds, but same gray screen and consistent restarts automatically after few seconds of gray screen, then i tried xperia companion but it is giving me error that my phone is locked, well i cannot unlock the phone if it is not turning on. then i tried sony's orignal flashing tool Emma but that gave me same error phone is locked. then i tried to unlock bootloader with flash tool but no use gave some error which i cannot remember now. then i tried to flash the phone with like 8 different ftf stock files some old some new. but flash tools tells me it have flashed the phone but when i try to turn it on it is giving me same gray screen and restarts every 20 / 30 seconds. and i even tried the Sov32 ftf file downloaded from xperifirm but that gave me error that this bundle is not suitable for your device. all other generic and international versions gave no error and shows successfully flashed. but phone gave same gray screen when i turn it on. and after flashing i tried sony companion and Emma both shows my phone is still locked and not flashed, showing me same old firmware version LOL i dont know what else to do anymore since i have tried every possible trick to fix this damn device. this phone have changed my view of thinking, i have always thought sony is better then all others because i only used sony and motorola all my life. and from past 7 years i have using sony. but if i have to change my phone then i will never buy sony phone again. lost my 3 days on it, trying to fix it. previously i have xperia z and xperia mini pro they were better phones. i still have them. and they are still working. i even flashed xperia mini pro many times no issue. so what should i do now is there any other method left which i have not tried yet ? and btw please dont refer me to use carbon rom or any other rom because this goddam phone is not turning on and not charging. it restarts every few seconds while on charging. so i cannot copy some files into the phone.
