Anyone knows how to reset the Aspen manually? Cant seem to get it started.
What happened to your phone?
Download Sony Update Utility and try to reflash the firmware.
I can't get SEUS to recognize my Aspen. Windows asked for the "qualcomm cdma technologies msm" driver and I found it here on xda. Then it got recognized by windows as some sort of Diagnostic port. Vistas mobile device center recognizes it but not SEUS.
Just to make sure:
0.) USB cable disconnected from phone (!!), SEUS started and ready to connect.
1.) Power off the Aspen
2.) Remove and re-insert battery
3.) Press and hold the green call key on the Aspen while connecting the USB cable to the Aspen
Did you follow these steps?

You mean the same steps proposed by SEUS?
Yes, exactly
(Sorry for the late reply)
Meanwhile, a new firmware is available: R4A.
I just had my M1i Aspen for a day before needing to send it back to store.
After installing/initiating WM6.5 the phone refused to start, it just looped the SE logo and died. buzzed and showing the SE logo on and on. Only way to stopp it was to remove the battery.
Have heard about a W9xx that also just looped the SE logo.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I tried to flash/repair the Aspen with SEUS did two reported successful flashing but the Aspen still just looped the SE-logo.
me to have aspen but with different issue
after i press power, it loads startup screen and widows logo after that, i got message "waiting for sdcard"
tried to flash with updater tool but windows didn't reconize it and ask for msm driver
please anyone have the driver, send it to give a try
thanks
thx...
thx a lot for the solution and i just reflash it ...all back to origin .

Have problem with aspen m1i too. can't connect by holding call button
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
Bricked Sony Xperia X10 Mini Pro (U20)
Hi, I really need your help.
I have bricked my Xperia x10 Mini Pro (u20)
I had CM7 Custom Mod running on my phone,
I update CWM 2.0 to 5. something and suddenly it stop working.
It hangs at the Sony Ericsson Boot Logo.
It won't enter into Recovery Mode.
I tried the PC Companion Repair, but it won't go past the "press and hold the back Key"
Because my PC won't recognize my Phone. (I had the SEMC USB drivers installed already)
Please help!!! Thank you

I have two factory unlocked Xperia ray (so-03c)
Recently i upgraded one of them to the latest firmware using "sony bridge for mac". Just after upgrade; phone stopped showing any cellular networks; everything including wifi was working smoothly. I tried switching different modes GSM, WCDMS and WCDMA/GSM; it didn't work out for cellular. (I used to have Galaxy Ace, so tried if Android boot recovery would work out; but didn't found anyway in xperia).
I wanted to repair the phone using option in "Sony Bridge for Mac" again. Before proceeding; I did a factory reset then using the settings in the phone. Bridge didn't recognise my phone; Then I found some tutorial for doing reset in the web; And; Pressed Power and Volume Down for about 20 seconds; it vibrated 3-4 times.
Tried to open the phone; it just kept looping in the boot screen
I cant connect it to flashtool, bridge for recovery; Even tried in PC Companion. it detects my phone; but when I want to go to repair; it wont proceed as i cant take the phone to recovery mode. holding volume down and connecting Usb does not do anything
I would be happy if there is any way of recovering this device and i can restore to an earlier firmware; which is intact in the other phone.

Loop: (i can see sony xperia)
When i press volume down and connect to usb; just shows charging
Shown by bridge and flashtool:
I think there is a fastboot mode way for recovering a device. I search on google and I found a topic about recovering an Optimus One P500 by fastboot, maybe it will work for your device too...

hi everybody,
I left my phone charging in the night(it was on) and when i came to take it in the morning (it was off)... i tried to turn it on but it didn't turn on!
(IM USING ORIGINAL SONY CHARGER AND USB THAT CAME WITH IT)
when I plug it in to a charger the LED turns green (that means that the battery is at 90% or above)
i tried power and volume up (hard reset) but it didn't work!
when i connected to my computer it wasn't detected....(tried all USB ports)
Also, i tried to enter Flashmode and Fastboot mode.. and none of them worked!
Xperia companion didn't detect it....
I tried to turn it on several times but it didn't work!
i even tried all buttons combination (power, both volumes ) all together, and nothing worked!
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
please anyone have an idea or any suggestion that might help!
all your suggestions are so much appreciated!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I used to be a bit similar to your situation, but its power indicator is not lit. Pressing other buttons did not respond. I also tried to connect it to the computer, but still didn't respond. I had no choice but to send it back to the after-sales service. The response I got was that the power IC was damaged.

doesnt seem like something that can be fixed on a software level, you need to send it to sony to fix it if youre under warranty.

It's a long story, but bought an XZ from Toby Deals ( never ever use those rip off merchants ).
Decided not to want to turn on just before the year warranty ran out. Red flashing LED whilst charging, white Sony screen comes up, then goes off again, repeats ad infinitum. Obviously tried all the usual volume up/power button resets and this actually responds with the one buzz/three buzz response. Original charger and even a brand new battery - no change.
Didn't want to send back to Singapore, so tried Sony support who advised to send to Sony UK repair center.
I sent it in, came back as 'can't repair due to non UK model'.
Advised Sony on line support again, who promised me it would be looked at if sent in again.
Did that and they sent it back repaired and working ( no hardware ) - reflashed ?? Happy for three days.
Same thing happened after three days / same symptoms as before
Sent in again, sent back as 'non UK model' again. Started to cry
Informed Toby Deals who now don't want to know, as now a few moths past warranty expiry date.
Now I have a bricked expensive phone and have had since January. What a waste of money.
All I want to do, is whatever Sony UK repairers did in their factory.
No detection on PC and Companion either, which I feel is a big problem for any reflashing ideas.
Any ideas anybody please ?

Your phone is still booting, so the boot partition is still ok.
Download newflasher.
Install the Sony ADB drivers, to do this you will need to boot your Windows10 into safe mode and use 'driver signing disabled'
Read up on Xperiafirm, download the latest firmware for your region.
Put a copy of the Newflasher into the firmware download folder.
Unplug your phone from the PC.
Turn your phone off completely Power and Vol up (+) until it vibrates three times.
Run the newflasher and when prompted, plug your phone back in while holding the Volume up (+). Once the process has started you can let go.
Good luck
If you see any led light , try to use pc companion ( if your phone is not unlocked ) and if you have unlocked bootloader try to use xperifix to download the latest software for your phone and then flash it using newflasher ( don't forget to have the Sony USB drivers on your computer ) pls tell us if it works to find another way to fix your smartphone.

Thanks for the info Didgesteve.
I am running through this now, but the firmware within Xperiafirm is a little light on the F8332 version ( dual sim ).
The single sim F8331 has lots more options including one for UK Virgin Mobile, which could be mine. The only other option for the 8332 is the Central Europe 1 CE1 option, which I don't think it is. Any advice please ? I am trying to find it on the Sony site, as @IgorEisberg states "XZ F8331 and F8332 are on the sony server now"

It doesn't matter which region you have as long as the model number is the same, it's not locked to any language. The language can be chosen on start up, from a fresh install.
Central Europe 1 CE1 will be just fine.

I think I have a connectivity problem. Nothing is showing in device manager, so cant add the drivers any other way can I?

Did you install the drivers in 'safe mode'?
Hi. Yes I did. Still no joy, but I haven't tried since last time. I'll have another go this week, unless you can think of anything else it could be, or that I can try?
my xz premium reboots when I plug in charger. I will sell it and buy samsung ( i dont like it) before it dies completely lol
oh it was water in charging port, now all works perfectly

Still no joy.
I am using Windows 10 and when I requested recovery reboot, it does give me a safe boot option ( option 5 I think ), but it also gives me a 'disable driver signing' option too and you can't opt for both.
I have actually tried to boot in both modes and the newflasher does the same thing - see attached screenshot
Not sure what more I can do, to get these drivers on. I have also run in developer mode and set USB device discovery to on, to no avail.
If device manager never sees the phone, how will I ever be able to install the drivers.
The newflasher, asks to install Gordongate and it doesn't matter if I select yes or no, it still says no usb device.
I am running newflasher from here :
C:\Xperia firmware\F8332_Customized CE1_1315-4550_41.3.A.2.171_R1E
...........but I have tried to run it from the driver folder too.
I am stuck. If I can send it to you, please PM me !

Windows10, boot into safe mode, choose 'disable driver signing' in the advanced menu, start the computer and install the Sony drivers. If that doesn't work, answering yes to the first question in Newflasher creates a new drivers zip folder within the Newfalsher folder. Install these drivers, again with driver signing disabled.
When you put the phone into flash mode and plug it in to your PC, what does it say in the device manager?

Thanks for your reply Didgesteve.
I installed the drivers by installing the sa0115adb.inf successfully, but as the phone is continuously cycling through a 'Sony' white screen and blank screen ( frequency 3secs of each ), device manager does not seem to 'see' anything at all.
I also installed the ggsommc.inf driver, when prompted and answered as a 'ye's for the GordonGate option. It didn't give me a failure message, but also didn't state 'installed successfully' as the sa0115adb one did.
I also tried another generic driver called android_winusb.inf to no avail.

PC companion is no good, as the device can't been seen by windows or that app. I was wondering what the Sony uk repair centre used the last time they repaired it. Wish they would again !!

Hello, I need your help. I mention my problem: I have a XZ Premium (G8141) in the state of (BOOTLOOP) after updating the Android. I did the following: Try to repair the firmware with Xperia Companion, also flash with Newflasher and none of this worked for me. I would like to try to unlock the boot manager since I have it blocked but I can not because I do not have the USB debugging active. Any way to unlock the boot loader? Thank you very much and excuse me for my precarious English. Regards!

Can you describe what didn't work for you with Xperia Companion?
If you can't effect a repair with the Sony tool, the chances of you negotiating your way round finding and installing the drivers required and flashing the files required to root the phone, in the correct order seems pretty slim. The fact that the phone boots means that it's not bricked and the boot partition is ok.
There is no way to activate USB degug without getting into the OS, so repair or flash is the only option.
Have you installed the Sony drivers ? If you are using Windows 10 you will need to install these drivers with 'driver signing disabled' via safe mode.
You need to have the phone turned off comepletely before trying to connect it to Xperia companion repair, something that's easy to overlook. Hold the volume up(+) and the power button until the phone vibrates three times, then follow the instuctions on the compaion repair. Holding the volume down(-) when connecting the USB lead when asked to do so.

Hello, the Xperia Companion tells me that it was restored perfectly. As for the drivers, they do not show me any errors in the device manager. Although I do not remember having installed them by deactivating the drivers' signature. I'll try that, although I doubt it works. Thanks for answering!
