Red LED flashing 3 times?
Your battery is empty.

yes, flash 3 times, but if i connect the charger the LED still flashing RED, it´s normal?
EDIT: after 1 minute the LED stop flashing
EDIT 2: I can put in flashboot (green led) and fastboot (blue led) mode, but after 2/3 minutes my phone auto disconnect...
The charger not charging the phone, i will try one different charger, when you remove the battery ang put in directly on the charger...
If somebody have anyone ideia, i´m gratefully...
Sorry about the questions, i´m totally lost...

so sorry to hear about your problem.
i have an older sony ericsson phone.
red blinking light is not a good sign.
not charging when plugged in.
tried charging the battery itself, still did not work.
could be bricked already, try taking it to service center.

Before taking an expensive visit to the service...
Get Sony Mobile Update Service(link in my signature), install it and try Repair option on your phone, it will require to place your phone in flashmode(green LED).
What happened actually before turning off? Did the phone turn itself off or you did?

Hi,I think its just the battery broken.The phone did work since the battery was disscharged,its the battery for 99% sure.Dont buy new one,maybe some of your friends have same kind battery,or go to phone service and tell you want to check if its going to work,so they dont charge you nothing and you will see if its work.Hope I help you mate.

1st - Batteries don't break down like this.
2nd - Phone's LED works, so battery still has power inside.
3rd - I have discharged my phone's battery completely quite a lot of times, still works just great(never calibrated and will never do).

Unlocked bootloader, then SMUS will not work...

i´ll buy the battery charger and test the battery, but i accept sugestions...
EDIT: The problem is not battery, when I turn on the device, it vibrates but the screen stays black with no sign of response.
I can plug it in fastboot mode and ... flashmode
Any suggestions?

[Q] Help with Bricked x10 mini pro

Hi,
My x10 mini pro started to act "funny" (restarting and shutting down by it self) so I found this forum. Kept reading a lot of posts for 6h until I decided to try flashing it with a costum rom to fix it.
Flashed via flashtool the Sony Style's 1.1 by paul-xxx; it worked for a while, then shut down again. But this time, with flashing red light (3 times, with hard-reset [home+power button] when trying to turn on and a looping red light (every 3~4 seconds) when trying to get to flash mode.
After some time, it vanished from existence and was presumed dead. No lights, nothing at all. Send to repair, they couldn't fix it, but they restored the lights (red loop again).
So, now it got dead again. I have two batteries, both charged, but still nothing.
I really don't know what to do. I thought it was HW damage, but the repair guy said it was software corruption.
So, any light on my head ? :/

If You're still able to enter into flash mode, try the SEUS restore.

No flash mode. That's my curse ç.ç
If I could just get it up, SEUS is waiting for it.

Dont know if it can help. .but give it a try with a new connecting wire.. maybe the connecting wire/port is damaged.. because it was the same with one of my friends.. he replaced with a new battery n a cord n it got fixed.. give it a try.. till then will search for u.. if found will post back..
Used a new one, from my girlfriend's 2011 mini pro, bought a new battery and fully charged on another phone. Still, no flash mode.
I would say that the port of the phone is out, but the repair guy used it with no problems... as he said.
The phone was hers, but she bought a new one. once this turned into a brick.
If I fix it, is mine... but, maybe there is no solution... :/
Just confirmed: Battery isn't the issue here. Recharged them to 100% and still the phone won't give a single sign of life.
Apparently, I'm doomed. I don't have money to buy fixing boxes and cables, but it really pains me out.
I already downloaded all the cooking material to start working on it, but... I guess it's dead.
As I searched, x10 mini pro doesn't have a test point, but a cable set up in the back board. But I couldn't find the schematics, just boxes... that will cost me a LOT.
I'll be watching the thread and test new options you guys give me... but that's all.
Sorry to bother you all with this issue..

Phone isn't detected.
EDIT: It doesn't respond with or without flash mode. But when I disconnect it from the cable, he blinks a red light 3 times in sequence. Same with home+power.

You've also installed the Gordons Gate drivers before doing Your tests?
from the flashtool folder install <flashtool folder>\drivers\gg-????.exe
Then reboot pc and re-try...
Yep. GG-setup.exe installed. Restarted.
Phone looks "dead". But it blinks red lights without the charger / cable usb.
Odd.
EDIT: Left charging on the wall with red blinking light. Dead again. No sign of life whatsoever.
Update:
Noticed that it "ignores" my attempts on the screen buttons. Back and home = same reaction... as if I wasn't pressing them.
I'm thinking that I've got hardware problems... or some HARD software issues. =/

Another problem with battery of xperia sk17i

Sorry for open a new thread in forum, but i didn't find no topic which talk about that problem of mine.

And i tryed to power on, and the green led blink very short, after that vibrate but, don't show to me nothing on display. I know is anormal to blink that led green, and also i knew he must show sony or sony ericsson (the brand) after vibrate...but only vibrate, and that's all..............I dont have any idea, where to be the problem...Pls help me, and also, sorry for my english.

and i forgot to say that, i tryed to install a news firmware, and to i leaved battery out from phone 2 days...but no change...is same - black
So, when you try to turn on your device, green LED blinks, phone vibrates and that's it?
What happens if you plug in the charger? Does reinstalling the firmware(Flashtool or Update Service) fix the issue?
What ROM/Kernel did you have? If stock, rooted or not? Any modifications?
Also, wrong section to post it.

no, is doesn't fix the issue no firmware; i tryed with Update Service also flashtool, and still the same. When i plug the charger, show me is completely charged (the led - green) but dont show to me nothing on display. When i connect it on the usb in pc, the led remain green.
Rom is the last one from SEUS, i dont know to say the model, but anyway, i tryed not only that, also all i founded compatible for my model. Without root. I know normally is to dont blink any short led when is power on...

What firmware did you have last, when phone was still working?
Was your bootloader unlocked or not?
My next idea is warranty service.

Is it bricked, or broken?

Hey
A while ago, i tried to update my X10 mini. I used SEUS to do it, but somehow, during the update process my phone turned itself off. I tried to turn it back on, but no success. Trying to charge it, i saw a red light blinking, thinking that the battery must have said bye bye. Whenever i tried to turn it on, red light blinked as when it was empty. No mather how long i charged it the phone was still unable to turn on
I later red an article on bricked devices and noticed that bricking devices can easily be done by interupting the device while updating it, and thats exactly what happened.
Is there anyway to unbrick it? IF that is the case. If not, is it the battery that is completely drained?

Can you get back into flashmode? if so then just reflash the update. How charged was your battery when you started? If the battery does seem dead or no longer usable then try and charge it overnight or buy a new one, BST-38 batteries are very cheap on amazon and ebay

Hmm, there should be some files for flashtool floating round the forum, try and find the one for the update you were doing and maybe jump ship to unlocked bootloader if you can

What you should do is getting into recovery and put in usb storage mode, then is probably that SEUS detect the phone

He never said he had recovery and that would be in USB mode. Absolutely useless for flashing

[Q] My ZU wont switch on. Red LED

This morning, my Z ultra died on me. It wont start, no vibration, no use pressing vol + power buttons and the red switch. I was neither rooted or bootloader unlocked.
When I tried to connect it to my laptop (Windows 7), its shows as a USB device. The red LED flashes up, the computer finds it and then lets go of it again. Again in a few minutes, the red LED goes up , the computer makes the connection sound and then the red LED goes off again. This cycle goes on and on.
I cannot use SEUS, Flash, Fastboot or do anything. I have checked various forums and apparently I have not hard bricked the phone as the LED still works and the computer recognizes the problem. But no one has given any concrete solution.
When I connect it to the charger which came with the phone, the red LED pops up and then goes off again. I dont know if its charging. HOWEVER, I have used another Chinese Travel Charger, and then the red LED stays solid as if its charging. I dont know what it means.
Please help. I spent a lot behind this phone. I dont want to be left with a brick
It's not an issue if it's completely stock is it? You have your warranty, but i understand that i sucks to have it shipped in for repairs for god knows how long. I had a similar issue some time ago, but i'm bootloader unlocked and what not, so that was pretty easy to fix. You're completely stock though, so it's a little harder to do anything.
What happens if you hold VOL UP when you connect it to your computer? Does a blue LED light up? If yes, does it stay on, or does it disappear? What happens if you hold VOL DOWN when you connect it to your computer? Do you get a blinking LED and then nothing? That's normal, and it's going into Flashmode. If you can get it to stay in Flashmode you'll be able to re-flash a ROM in Flashtool. But be 100% sure to have enough battery, or else you'll be in danger of hard bricking it.
So..
- Plug the wall charger in and charge it for a couple of hours (2-3 hours)
- Try to kick it into Fastboot (VOL UP when you connect it to your computer). Look for blue LED.
- Try to kick it into Flashmode (VOL DOWN when you connect it yo your computer). No LED.
Hi LordManhattan. I dont have any warranty as I brought it from a local reseller .
Whether I press Vol UP or vom DOWN when I connect to the laptop, a red LED pops up, there is a connection sound and after that the red LED goes off and and there is a disconnection sound.
If I leave the phone connected with the computer, the phone gets connected after 2/3 minutes, there is a connection sound and then there is a disconnection sound again . Any clue what I can do :crying::crying:

just a small note or two:
Flashmode the LED should go orange, then blue then off within about 1second then it is in Flashmode
To get into either of these modes the phone has to be powered fully OFF, press the red reset button before charging to make sure, then again just before the above steps.
It sort of sounds like a corrupted loader

Have a good read of this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170
It would suggest that the battery is flat. Let it charge in the wall plug for a few hours and see what happens
I have let the phone to charge overnight with the charger that came with the phone. As I said before, with that charger, the red LED would turn on and then go off again. I will hopefully try the Chinese travel charger tonight with which the red LED remains solid.
The funny thing is , the phone had about 80% charge when it died. This is so weird :'(

Have you tried the reset button under the microsd flap? Press and hold for 3 secs.
I did read another user had an issue where the screen blanked for around a day, he left it plugged in and came back to it about 6 hours later and it was fine again.

I tried that and basically all the other normal options. No use. The computer recognises it as a USB Input Device and for a second or two, the red LED comes up. Same thing when I am charging

It's a battery issue most probably. I guess it doesn't show anything. Is your battery removable?
I still have not opened my phone. I am looking at all the other options first. If everything else fails, I guess I will have to open my phone

Warranty exists with Sony for first year, no matter where it's bought, very true.
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
+1 contact your local sony, i had a similar problem, no fastboot/flashmode. locked bl/not rooted and my led only flashed red and occasionally solid red then nothing. plugging it into computer continuously played the disconnecting sound.
most likely hardbricked.
i also purchased my xzu from a local BST but as long as you have your imei, contact sony and theyll tell you if you have warranty. they required me to send in proof of purchase as well but like most say "play stupid" ( i said i received it as a gift and they said it was fine)
i got a brand new XZU after a week and a half sending it in.

Thank you! One or two years ago my Z Ultra's screen cracked and I got a new phone. Decided to use it again, purchased a new screen and replaced it myself today. When I tried to move to AOSP (had root, bootloader unlocked, backup of TA partition), the phone bricked. No SONY logo, nothing. Did what you said above, Xperia Companion recognized the phone in flashmode and is now downloading the newest stock rom. I was so afraid of a hard brick, that living with latest stock without root doesn't seen so bad now hahaha
Hey Friends, I have exactly the same issue. The red led just flashes up for a couple of seconds and this cycle continues. My battery was a bit swollen up and the back glass cover opened up a bit. Still battery was working fine. Two days ago I tried nougat aosp on it and after leaving it idle for 2 hours, it was bricked. I can enter into flashmode and flashed stock LP as well as KK but it does not boots up. Is it definitely battery's problem? If yes, where can I buy original or near original battery for it?

The battery is dangerous and should be removed. Be careful because the battery can burst into flames if the bloated cell get punctured.
Use tools with caution and take your time.
Lipo cells expands as a first safety trigger. Instead of going strait to venting or venting and burst into flames.
Its a safety feature if they are charged with too high current or if the cell is drained below its 2,22 volts and is brought back to life with a normal charger that puts normal current on the cell. Then even 400mA in this scenario is way too much current to start charging a drained cell with.
But the battery should not be the issue that your phone is not booting. How did you flash stock rom? With Flashtool?
