Hi guys so i flashed cm 10 and the bootloader all was fine switched internal for eternal storage still every thing was fine tried restoring some apps it stuck at 92% for 3 hour so i rebooted phone, then gave back to wife however dont think she liked it and she told me she had restored back to factory and when her phone rebooted nothing happened i have tried hooking it up to flash tools but it wont find my phone i have tried logging in to fastboot via cmd prompt just says waiting for device no lights come on totally dead me thinks but looking for an expert to tell me hopefully different
but really think its dead it also as unlocked bootloader please help TIA
Oh it might be hard bricked.. Does it vibrate on pressing power button. Flashmode doesn't start? (green led)
And how did your wife return to stock? Flash ftf file?
Also how does device manager show the connected phone?
Sent from my ST27i
no it doesnt vibrate and no lights all she did was it was on cm10 she went into settings and restore to factory then this happened pc makes the noise when plug it in but nothing happens and device manager wont pick it up, dont even thinki can take to shop or send to sony as it has unlocked bootloader can this phone be fixed to u no bud or will it be cheaper to just buy new 1 as i honestly think this 6 week old phone is dead it doesnt do anything m8
Download stock ftf
Open flashtool first
Press power off +vol down button and connect usb quickly if flashtool recognizes
Then flash the stock ftf and research before flashing anything
And give me the built number of cm10 buicd
noob and learning
hit thanks if I helped you
it was fxp 211 and fashtool doesnt help m8 as it wont pick my phone up
Sounds hard bricked.. Try flashtool on another pc to rule out driver issue. If flashtool can't fix it, it's gotta go back to Sony.
Also try plugging it to charger for a few hrs, battery may be drained..

You will have to act lame, and not mention anything about rooting or unlock bootloader.. Tell it died under normal circumstances, like dead battery, or something weird like crashed, and on reboot it never started. Depending on how you sell it, and your country, them may not check BL (or they may not be able to) so give it a shot and be creative
And before repairing and charging you anything, they have to inform you of your warranty status, so you can decide then which is cheaper.

awesome thanks m8 i will give it a try as i got nothing to lose bud kind of hoping it needs a new phone so they dont find out but thanks for help m8
same thing happened to me.just take it to any repair center.
They check via IMEI if the bootloader is unlocked. If it is they don't touch it and they tell you to buy a new one. My tipo was dead almost two months ago. If it is possible use another battery and try to install stock firmware via flashtool. My brother has Neo V which use the same battery with tipo and my device became alive.

i think i have hard bricked my Sony Xperia Tipo.. Just after installing CM10 FXP 212 i tried to reboot but it would not boot. It is totally dead. After i take out the battery and put it back it vibrates but can boot up...
Is there any way to fix it??
Please help......
volumedown, hold it while pluggin the USB, and flash a stock .ftf via flashtool.
So, i have installed cyanogenmod 10 to my xperia e dual, and i was aware of all the bugs it had. Ok, but the fact is that after 2-3 reboots that i made , it stopped recognizing the two SIM cards, and then it stopped recharging again. So, i thought that if i flashed the stock rom , it would be fixed. BUT, when putting it in flashmode , after 30-40 seconds it reverts to turned off mode. Fastboot still good. So, now my phone at 20-30 % battery, it is halfway to be bricked. Any ideas? Help? Can I flash a stock rom from recovery? ( i have TWRP) . When my phone goes to 0% , i guess it will be bricked , and i'll need a new battery to try at least fix it.
Waiting for help as soon as possible.
Thank you. :crying:
don't worry
try flashing the CM10 again.
you're using jjm's cm?
don't worry about 0 percent battery. It is only a problem if battery becomes zero during flashing. I used a friend's battery.
ok
Ok, I fixed it, by flashing the stock JB rom . So, for you that may experience the same problem with me, I download the international ftp file for the xperia e dual, and because the phone exits flashmode, you must input the file to the flashtool , wait it until it says it is ready and then connect your phone in flashmode ( vol + while connecting through USB) . When booting it, it bootlooped for 1 time at SONY logo , but then it worked and the charging light came out!
By the way, thank you axonelover for replying and so soon!
Before flashing, wipe all the things using cwm. The cwm elf file available for e dual, u don't have one then search, download and flash it in fastboot mode. Your problem will be fixed.
Use jjm34's cm10 its nice, still i'm using that.

Hi,
I own a Motorola Moto E XT1022 (1st gen), which I bought from Flipkart India.
It came with KitKat 4.4.4, and I had put a soak test version of android L 5.0.2 , officially released by Motorola in May or something.
It worked fine until December 2015- then it started having issues. It would lock its screen automatically. When pressed the power button, it will show the screen that was on before locking. When touched, it will make me type the password. After typing it, it would work fine. Same thing would happen after 30 min. But that was not a big issue.
3-4 days after facing this issue, it restarted automatically. And it stuck on the Motorola M logo.
I shut it down, tried starting it again. No luck. One time, it started. I immediately performed a factory reset by going in settings. At that time, the soft keys (back, home and recent apps) didnt appear on the screen. That was strange. After factory reset, it restarted itself. Started working normally, all clean phone. (Still on 5.0.2 soak test obviously) But it didnt show the soft keys as I said before.
Then it restarted, again. And since then it is stuck in boot loops. I stormed the internet, and found how to factory reset using recovery, wipe data, even flash stock OS 4.4.4 from official Motorola website. I have done all that. I have-
1) Factory reseted using hard reset method
2) Wiped Cache partition
3) Flashed stock firmware from official website (KitKat 4.4.4)
It is still stuck in boot loops. It shows the M logo at startup, and stays like that forever. Only shuts down when all battery is drained. Now it is not charging either. It is stuck at 0%. But I think charging issue will be fixed by charging it for some hours.
Now, the phone is running stock OS, is completely cleaned, and is stuck in boot loops.
I cannot afford to buy another phone. When I asked Motorola for help using the Chat function of the Help app, they suggested me showing it to the closest service centre. I showed it to them but they were giving excuses that they will see if they can do...and didnt do anything. (PS I'm from India, and it is like this for most of the service centres here.)
So please, can anyone, please please please help me?
All the help is appreciated. Thank you!
PS. I have tried hard reset and wiping cache partition over 8 times now. It's still not working. Please suggest some other method if possible.
I guess it is because of the faulty soak test ROM.. Would you be interested in rooting? I guess flashing a different stable ROM would help.. Even a factory image..

Sir,
I am ready to do anything to make it work. If rooting is the solution, or maybe flashing a different OS, or both, I am ready to do anything.
Please tell me what should I do next.
Thank you for your valuable reply!
Alright .. First of all, can you access your phone right now? I mean, does it actually boot up?

Here is the current state of my phone-
It is completely out of charge.
When I charge it, after about ten minutes or so, it shows a symbol of pulling the wire out of the socket.
First time when I saw this, I switched off charging and pulled it off. Then the phone shut down as it had no charge.
Second time when I saw this symbol, I kept it charging. After 30 minutes, it showed the battery charging symbol, with 0%.
And I forgot to mention one thing. When I plugged in the charger and started charging the phone, the LED notification light glowed and it stayed on. No idea why. After some time, it stopped glowing. Battery showed 0% even after charging for about an hour. ( Note- LED notification light glowed up and went out randomly.)
( Then I got depressed and stopped charging the phone. Then it switched off as it didnt have any charge.)
Now, I think charging it for a long time will make it start again.
But I think I will get into boot loops after I start the phone. And it will stay like that until the battery is drained out completely.
Thank you!
PS. Should I start charging it right now? Its 12 midnight here, maybe I should keep it overnight. (Is it safe? The battery won't explode or anything right? Sorry I'm a little paranoid, since my uncle's micromax phone burst while charging.)
Same time zone
Now look this happens in my moto e too.. There was an issue with my power button, it restarted when ever i unlocked or locked my device.. I rooted, flashed a kernel which supports gesture wake and now i use the button rarely..
Now coming to ur problem, don't charge it overnight, might harm the battery at the most.. Charge it for an hour.. And try to boot the device up.. Only then, can i help you out..

Hi.
I have started charging the phone just now. Let's see how much it charges after an hour.
Right now its LED Notification light is blinking randomly, and battery charging 0% symbol is showing up on start screen.
The screen wakes up and sleeps randomly. Lets see what happens.

Hi,
I have charged the phone for about an hour. Its still charging.
It now shows the recovery menu, giving me options such as
Normal Powerup
Recovery
Factory etc.
And under all the options, this is what I see-
hab check failed to boot
failed to validate boot image
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from not-charger boot
ode
What do I do now? I tried Normal Powerup, it showed M logo and showed the above screen again.
PLEASE REPLY URGENTLY. Thanks
<<UPDATE>>
Phone is charging. About 28% battery right now and still charging normally.
Now should I try starting it? Please reply.
Yes.. Try starting it. Or else nothing can be done..

When this issue started, I had soak test android L 5.0.2, and yes I had enabled USB Debugging from it.
But, after the issue, I flashed stock rom 4.4.4 on it. But I havent been able to access the phone normally since that. So I had it enabled in 5.0.2, but now it has 4.4.4, which I never operated.
Hope I didnt confuse.

I shut down the phone.
Connected to laptop.
Hold down the power and volume key.
Factory Reseted using recovery menu.
I had official kitkat 4.4.4 ROM in laptop.
I flashed it using command prompt.
Now im sure it has kitkat, the word "Android" at boot animation has changed, like it did on kitkat.
So I'm sure it has KitKat.
<<UPDATE>>
Phone is not stuck in boot loops anymore.
It switches off, I can stop the draining of the battery.
When I turn it on, it shows motorola M logo for 1 second.
Then it takes me automatically to recovery mode. And gives the hab error as I mentioned above.
So you do know how to flash using ADB...

Hi all.
I have searched this forum (I know it's very frowned upon to start a thread without doing so) but the symptoms don't completely match my issue so I've resorted to asking.
I have a Nexus 5, which I was using as a hotspot, tethering to an Amazon fire stick, when it switched itself off.
It hasn't booted since, I've tried all possible button combinations for up to 2 minutes and still nothing.
If connected to a charger I get the white battery icon with the lightning bolt for a few seconds then blank screen, this will loop until unplugged.
When I have the battery icon on screen I can hold power button and it will display "Google" and vibrate as if starting to boot, then go blank again.
Have reinstalled original battery and the symptoms remain the same.
Am on marshmallow 6.0.1 totally stock am also out of warranty.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Try to boot in bootloader mode if it boots connect to it comp and then unlock the bootloader if not and install latest Twrp if not then flash a custom rom and boot it then flash factory images .. Done. Back to Stock!
Try booting in bootloader mod while connecting it do the charger. (Wall charger )

Thanks for the suggestion but can't get into bootloader mode, it's only alive for about 3-4 seconds if plugged in then it goes off and then back to the white battery.

Mother board problem or change try changing ur battery... Surely Mother Board problem! Coz while u were connected to a hotspot and then u switched off it.. The battery would suddenly undervolt ur motherboard... And Undervolting id Very Very bad even if u change it from software or hardware...This had happen to my Sis nexus 5. .. So given it a chance changing the battery! Coz that helped Me.. But also try booting in bootloader mod and flashing twrp it will save couple of Bucks and Time
Press the thanks button if this helps
I would replace the battery first. It seems like the battery was completely drained while hotspotting.
Are you using the original USB cable and charger that came with the phone?

If battery swap doesn't help is the motherboard easy to swap out? Providing I can find a replacement?
Motherboard is very easy to swap out.
Update, put original battery back in for the second time, first time didn't make a difference, possibly took longer this time. But all is good now.
Thanks to all
After my phone bricked I installed latest Chinese Stable ROM in EDL mode. I chose EDL mode for two reasons (1. I suspected that the phone only works while plugged in to charge and 2. the EDL mode turns off the phone after flashing so I can plug in the charger before booting). Turns out I was right. After the flash was over I tried to boot it without charging it first and it didn't work. After I connected it to the charger it booted normally and the ROM installed successfully.
I tried it again this morning after it fully charged. Few seconds after Ii disconnected it, it turned off. When I tried to turn it back on it was just rebooting to the MI logo screen. I plugged it in the charger and it rebooted 2 times (both times it got to those three dots at the bottom of the screen) and the third time it booted normally.
I also just noticed that the phone is curved a bit (maybe less than 1mm difference between upper left edge and rest of them), maybe from wearing it in tight pockets or something like that.
I think your battery might be dead. Try checking the voltage or the quality.
Replaceable batteries are pretty cheap.
Trimis de pe al meu Mi-4c folosind Tapatalk
Might be faulty battery, might be bad kernel, might be anything. Best way to check is to try to flash latest dev china rom via fastboot, if it still doesn't work try flashing stable 5.1.1 rom, again, via fastboot. If none of the solutions above doesnt work might be bad battery or worse, the controller on mobo died.

Well I hope it's a battery, because I just bought one to replace it. What is that mobo controller? Is it replaceable?
I have the same issue,
Battery replacement and stock rom of android 7 didn't help
I'm afraid is another hardware issue /:
I do have a similar problem, flashed xiaomi.eu and something have been broken.
I dont know how and why but its very strange.
Unplugged from supply i can boot up the phone, can see the miui logo and boot into fastboot but NOT into recovery and not boot up os.
As soon as i plug in supply it works quit normally, can boot up everything seems to be working, booting into twrp and flashing rom. No problem at all.
If i unplug while running os it imediately shut down.
The battery bar inside twrp show strange jumps.
What happens did somehting break ? Id like to gift the phone my mother for christmas.
