Hello there!
so here's the deal. I was getting a phone of my sister, a Xperia Miro ST23i, she decided to factory reset it, halfway through the format process it was taking a while so she decided to take the battery out "wasn't a good idea" and now it won't power on, shows no sign of life.
i've tried getting it into flashmode to use with flash tool but no success, pc companion doesn't bring up the phone and neither does Sony Update Service, it said "unknown device" in device manager until i installed Gordons Gates, now it says "ZEUS flash device" i've searched Google and xda but found nothing, also shows no sign of it charging now when i plug it in.
So now i'm completely stuck and would appreciate any help someone has to offer

Same problem here.... could you solve your problem and revive your phone?
same problem i have miro st23i
Looks like you just bricked it...
Can you put your phone in fastboot?(Not flashboot)
And does that phone have unlocked Boot loader?
same problem i have miro st23i

Same problem here, Im taking the phone is skrewed then? Fastboot mode and flash wont work. No led's no life what so ever
Hey guys, so I was updating to latest Kitkat firmware OTA and the android guy with the red exclamation point appeared and boot looped.
So, I used Flashtool to correct this and... the phone died.
Can't power on, doesn't vibrate, no SONY logo, no LED blinking, nothing.
Windows installs drivers for QHSUSB_BULK and that's it.
In device manager it appears as SOMC Flash Device anda flashtool detects it but, I can't do anything about it.
15/012/2015 00:12:50 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off
15/012/2015 00:12:50 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode
That's what I get.
From searching around I think the boot partition is gone (?)
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm completly stuck here.
Did you try to turn it off with reset by the sim card? Then hold volume down (- button) connect to usb and flash ftf.
Good Luck.

It probably (hopefully) got stuck. Try to (soft) reset it. There is a very small button next to the SIM card slot. You would need a needle or something that small to push it. If that doesn't work I am afraid it would be better to take it to Sony assistance.

I've been using that button since forever...
Do you think it's related to the loader partition or something?
Maybe you ran out of battery? Does your phone charger when you plug in? Also try different usb, reboot your pc then try again. I had softbrick my phones few times but always fix it with Flashtool.
Press power off button (small one by the sim) and leave the phone, Open Flashtool, select ftf wait for the popup dialogue, press volume down, connet phone to usb. This is proces i always do.
Good Luck.

Boot Loop may be a problem
If your device get disconnected every 5-7 seconds than it is a bootloop which is not showing on screen but you can observe it in device manager
And you have to try different key combination to stop that boot loop while flashing

Hello everyone,
a few days ago I flashed CyanogenMod (CM11 2014/06/06 Unofficial Tapioca) on my Sony XPeria Tipo ST21i. Unfortunately I noticed that the camera wouldn't work on that ROM, so I saw the need to switch.
I tried flashing Gimlo (Firmware for Tipo A4.22 v1.0 as well as Gimlo v2.0) via recovery. It appeared that the installation failed, so I attempted it a few more times. Finally I decided to wipe the /system partition and to re-flash Gimlo again, which now results in the phone falling into bootloop (=soft brick, if I'm not entirely mistaken).
Fortunately my computer (Win7 @ 64Bit) recognizes my phone (phone's blue LED is on). Fastboot does so as well, however ADB does not. However, I heard that I needed ADB to push a ROM onto my phone, which makes me question how I can fix ADB in order to restore my phone? The Android SDK has been installed and I use a USB 2.0 port.
If I forgot to mention something, please let me know. I also excuse me for possible mistakes, I'm new over here.
Thank you all for your help!
Install PC Companion, there's option to repair your phone.

I tried to use PC Companion's repair phone functionality, however the process fails with error status 2003; Sony Update Engine Failure: "The phone/table contains modified software that cannot be updated."
Searching for a solution on that, I found out that Flashtool could help here, however it appears to not support the Tipo. Any ideas?
Greetings!

Tipo is supported by Flashtool, you need to download ftf with XperiFirm (it's last icon on right, and it will do all steps for you) and flash it with Flashtool. Im using 0.9.18.6 of Flashtool cos latest maks some problems when flashing older device. install drivers in Flashtool/drivers folder, just fastboot and flashmod.
Good Luck.

I downloaded all programs and it appears to have successfully flashed the FTF. I'm charging my phone now and let you know tomorrow whether it actually worked. So far thank you very much already!
Have a nice day!
#Edit:
So this morning I disconnected the phone from the charger and tried to boot it, however there's a red LED flashing now. When connected to the charger, the phone's LED is constantly green, so I assume it is not that the battery's dead.
If it's constantly green it may be in Flashmode and it may not change, remove battery, hold power button for 10 second, reinsert battery then put it on charger. It should charge.

Okay, I thought my battery was fully charged, so I tried re-flashing the firmware which has been aborted. Instead the phone started properly. It's now charging again.
Thank you very much for your help!
I may reply to this thread tomorrow again if I run into troubles while setting up Gimlo - I'll give it yet another shot anyways - so please don't close this thread too soon.
Thank you once again!
Have a nice day!
#Edit:
I managed to successfully flash Gimlo on my phone, and it works great so far! Once more, thank you for the quick and nice help. This thread can now be locked.
I was upgrading my Xperia TO 5.1 and was flashing recovery. TWRP was flashed but I was not able to flash any zip through it.
I tried unlocking bootloader but nothing happened. I tried this 3-4 times and suddenly my Phone gone blank.
Now the condition is neither LED or any kind of vibration is working. Phone is detected as Qualcomm Qloader 9008. I tried figuring out and found that bootloader is corrupt. Many person having Snapdragon Chipset have same problem. I found EMMC DL Tool which can repair this but in version 5.2.0.r I am getting invalid user error.
Then I tried Tool studio EMMC tool from ZTE but I am getting error while downloading the Hex file. Phone is detected but unfortunately I am not able to fix it.
Please go through screenshot.
Someone please help me to fix. Either using this emmc tool or anyother.
P.S. Went to SC they said to replace MB which will cost around 6500-7500. But I don't think to spend such money for repairing when I can but much better phone in that price segment.
I am not able to post image. Help me. I don't have 10 post count yet.

So, you cannot get into flashmode or fastboot? Power off your phone, hold volume up and plug it into your pc without hitting the power button. Do you get any blue led or quick led flash at all? I'm not sure about your device's condition but I can surely try getting you files from my phone.
Try installing flashtool and see if flashtool recognizes your phone at all.

Only red LED glows while I plug it in PC. Flashtool can not recognize. EMMC tool recognize but can't find/download the files.
I am pretty sure once I get the tool running it will bring back my phone alive.

Hmm, can QPST find your phone? I'm trying to get a QPST/QCN backup which could be helpful. However, fastboot, flashmode, recovery or device running, I get ports empty. Can anyone help me out here? I can try draining my battery so I have the little phase of the dull red led where the device won't power on until it's a little charged.

I guess yes, but I don't remember exactly. Switch off your phone and connect may be it should detect.

Looks like I killed my Z5. The model is 6683 (Z5 dual), and I flashed with E6533 (Z3+ dual).
The phone is completely dead, cannot turn on, not vibrating on power button etc.
When I connect to my laptop, it says "unable to recognize USB device", in detail VID_0000&PID_0000.
But if I disconnect the battery, it recognized as "SOMC Flash device", VID_0FCE&PID_DDDE
Is it possible to resurrect it?
I hope if I can flash with correct bootloader in this state, it will enought to boot up and able to flash with the right firmware.

Are you able to connect it in flashmode and fastboot ?
With battery, no.
Without battery, my laptop recognize as "SOMC Flash device", but no tool can connect to it (like FlashTool).
(I think then different PID is the reason)

it seems to me that you are an advanced person in playing with your mobile, this kind of issues is beyond of my knowledge but I was replying to your thread hopefully someone here can help, I'm fearing that you have messed up with your mobile
Well, you could try to flash it from Ubuntu (NOT inside Windows 10 !) via FlashTool,
under windows there are limitations with different device IDs that separate drivers would be needed (and if only "wrong" ID is detected under Linux it doesn't really matter, since it's detected anyway),
perhaps under Linux operating systems you have more luck
Thank you for idea, but not working.
Finally I found an old SETool3 box , and successfully flashed with it without battery
Somehow it can fixed it.

wrong flash means wrong kernel!
you might be stuck on black screen when you frist switchon device! the device is running! but since its stuck on bootloops no interface is open!
press power and volume up button for 15+ seconds and let it JERK 3 times , this if force shutdown. the device should get connected now in flashmode
