Hello,
I have been a Sony Xperia Miro st32i with GIMLO v2.0 ROM. The last few days the phone did restart itself and a black screen appears with orange writing on the top saying ram dumping to SD card. After five to six restarting like this, the phones restart even at the application messages or calls. Today, after approximately seven days the phone is actually completely dead. :crying:
The battery is fully charged but the Miro is off and not responding to anything. I've tried countless times to open it by pressing the power button or to charge it again or to connect it to the computer or to push the power button with volume (+) or (-).
The phone is completely DEAD!
Note that the mobile is rooting but has not unlocked Bootloader.
Is this a hardware problem or a software problem ???
How you Ι can fix it ???
! PLEASE HELP ME !

Yesterday, I used a same battery from another Xperia Miro and mine did booting showing the logo of the Sony and then it stuck. Since then, sometimes when I press the power button flashing red light (not always) but never did booting again!
The random restarts when I was using the mobile. For example, I open the app of calls and the phone stuck it (for 4-3 seconds is not responding to anything) and then restarting.
No this was at any timepoints, even when the phone was in standby mode!

analog problem troth znxt 7
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

Update

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 rotted my "XPERIA J 4.1.2" yesterday through "DooMloRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_pref-event-exploit" then I used "CWN" too. After everything it was working fine till the morning.
In morning I was facing phone hang problem & then I decided to take out the battery to start my phone again, however after plugging the battery again I am not able to switch ON my phone again, it vibrate while trying to switching ON but just after SONY logo one battery signs come & goes immediately & my phone goes into switched off mode again.
*****My phone battery is fully charged - I tried combination of Power & Volume Down Button even Power + Volume + Home but nothing is happening.
Please help
After it`s turn off, You can turn on again (vibrate, Sony logo), or just when You re-insert battery again? If yes, then it`s a resolution problem, try to boot up CWM.
If no luck, re-flash Your ROM again via Flashtool or Fastboot.
im having the same problem
Hi,
So yesterday I dropped my Tipo, nothing major, dropped it many times before with no issues, the screen stopped working - all lights worked and the phone itself was fine, just the screen remained black. Disassembled the phone and checked connectors etc, no issues from what I could see. I decided as a last ditch attempt to try and flash it back to stock using Flashtool, flashed it with ST21i Tipo_11.0.A.0.16_UK_Generic.ftf, completed with no issues. Disconnected phone and the LED indicator was green, nothing else happened on the phone - it wouldn't turn on etc. Decided to try flashing it again however when starting up Flashtool I noticed the previous ROM used although titled for a Tipo within Flashtool it was listed as ST26i where a Tipo is an ST21i, now everytime I connect the phone to the PC it starts in MTP mode and i'm unable to flash again or do anything, plus I can't enable debugging as the phone doesn't turn on. I've also tried using Xperia Companion however that doesn't pick it up at all.
Anyone got any ideas of what I could try next?
Update
Okay just an update, left the phone and the battery died. When trying to turn it on the red led flashed - usual battery dead indicator. So I decided to try charging it, pressed the volume buttons etc and noticed the green led come on. So managed to flash it again with the correct firmware. It seems to have done something as now when it's plugged in to charge it doesn't boot up but just shows the green led, if I press the volume up button when plugging it in the led will go blue. Anyone know what I can try now? As it seems to just boot into flash mode (green led) when turning it on and nothing else.
