I think I might have bricked my tablet...help please? - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried unlocking the bootloader and flashing cyanogenmod but must have done something wrong, as now it doesn't boot up whatsoever. I can put it in fastboot mode but nothing beyond that from what I can see. Light turns red when charging and if I hold power and volume up the light blinks, then blinks 3 times after a few more seconds - that's about it. Can't get into recovery mode either.
Is there any way to fix this?

Holding the power button and the volume + for a while will blink once(it will boot), and holding them both for a little longer will blink 3 times( turned off).
I suggest. You download the firmware for your tabZ and flash it using flash tool..
Make sure your tablet blinked 3 times before entering flashmode(that is power and volume -)..

Oh my god that actually worked! I didn't know of flashmode, only fastboot. It's back to factory settings it seems but I can easily work with this!
So I don't end up making another topic, what would be the best way to root it? Pretty wary of messing with it after that little scare
Here's the firmware I used if it matters
SGP311_10.4.1.B.0.109_CE.rar

Problem Xperia Mini ST15i

Hi I have Xperia mini ST15i and I have a big problem.
First I enabled the bootloader ---> Fine
Second I root it ---> Fine
I want to install a custom rom ---> Crash
My phone crashed or something like that. When I turned my phone on it is Xperia(bootloader) Logo keep turning on and off. I deleted all the files on phone(removed android(I think)). Now the problem is that I see only Xperia logo nothing happens only that. I can acess boot loader but I don't know what to do next. Any Suggestions ?

Thanks for fast reply. Ill try and I will tell if will work
Unlock bootloader, install custom kernel, install custom ROM via Recovery.
Probably you missed the 2nd step.
Oh and no root is needed to install custom ROM. At all.
How to set the phone to the flash mode ? I have back button on touch.

Switch off the phone, press volume down button, connect the phone through USB > green led ! Annd you're done
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
Green LED?! Blue LED must be lit up not Green LED! And also Volume Up key has to be pressed not Volume Down key.
Hold Volume Up key, then connect USB cable; Blue LED has to be lit up.
I recommend you not to flash it again, things will be worse. Give it somewhere to repair.

It's volume down. Volume up is used to enter fastboot, afaik.

Yes, and flash is possible from this way. I've not heard about flashmode. When Green LED lits up it means the phone is charging (If more than 90%).
Am I right?

You, sir, are a fail.
Blue LED is fastboot mode, not flashmode. Volume UP is fastboot mode, not flashmode.
EDIT: I see, you posted there between, before me.
Volume Down while turned off and connecting USB cable, is flashmode, where you can install stock firmware to your phone.
Volume Up etc... is fastboot mode, only used to install custom kernels(and unlock bootloader if using official way).
Got it, thank you.
Everyone excuse me for giving erroneous information.

[Q] Red notification light always on, can't boot/reboot/halt. Tablet bricked?

Hi all,
after successfully unlocking the bootloader and flashing CyanogenMod 10.1.0 RC2 boot.img via fastboot from Linux, I couldn't manage to boot the tablet again.
I tried several things (Emma, Flashtool, etc.) in order to relock the bootloader and/or flash a stock ROM, but I only could put the device into fastboot mode.
Things are getting possibly worse now: the red notification light is still, I can't neither reboot (pressing Power+VolumeUp for 5 seconds) nor halt (Power+VolumeUp for 10 seconds)...
What a mess! Anyone can suggest me how to fix this situation, please?
Alberto
This is why u shouldn't mess with your tablet.just use it as it came, not worth the hassle

This answer is about as helpful as a heart attack lol
I can assure you that even us dev's run into issues like this, I soft bricked my new tab 5 times today (still trying to figure out this recovery/no recovery thing sony is doing lol).
Aberto, I had/did the exact thing today, first off I'm guessing you have a wifi only like I do right? Those roms/boot imgs won;t work it seems, Im learning as fast as I can so I can get a port for Baked for this tab, I own the wifi only so its my first priority.
Here's what I did, took allot of patience, so be prepared to try a bunch of times!
1. Unplug the usb cable
2. hold both vol + and - (I know this is not documented but stick with me here), then press and hold the power button until the led flashed "white" "3 times" (u will see one white flash, then after about another 20 seconds a second set of white flashes will begin, it will blink 3 times)
3. Plug in the usb cable
4. Make sure you have emma/drivers setup, since this is a windows only (boo!) tool you should here the usb device plug notifiction that it detected the "S1 Service Sony Mobile Communications AB"
This only lasts about 1 minute before it will go back to red led, launch emma and restore a stock image from sony, after its done, unplug the device, and hold power, it should come back to life!
Thanks nycbjr, I tried this morning before getting to work and I could "unlock" the red notification light.
This evening I'll try to get further in the process of resuscitating my tablet.
Thanks for the tips!

Glad I found this topic, but so far I can't get it to work.
Situation is the same I guess, red light, tried to flash the wrong img to my wifi only modell.
When I press all 3 buttons at the same time, the first white blink shows up after about 5secs, then there is a 3 blink sequence also in white after another 3-5secs. If I plugin the usb cable still holding down the buttons, no usb device is recognized, nothing happens..
If I keep holding down the buttons a 3 white blink sequence shows up again, followed by a white/red quick blink, then after 5 secs another 3 white blink sequence starts again, followed by a white7red combo et cetera. As soon as I release the buttons it turns to a constant red again.
Any more ideas or should I just keep trying?

Normally it is the follows:
Hold Vol+ and Power.
1x blink = Reboot (doesn't help you in this case)
after holding it longer
3x blink = Shut down (device is switched off and in a defined state)
Drink a beer
open flash-tool and prepare the firmware to flash
Hold Vol- and plug the device to the computer
If the led turns green the firmware will flash
If not check what the flash-tool says in which state the device is
If the led turns red maybe the battery is to empty?!?
I don't know about the red led, but thanks for the hint.
Pressing only vol down when pluggin in the usb seems to have changed something. I tried power+vol down before but that didn't help.
Now flashtool seems to be working, it says it's flashing, but it seems to take ages. I'll let it keep on working for now (running since 10mins, but after "checking header" and "flashing data" there is no progress anymore...yet). I'll report back
I canceled it after 2h with no progress...damnit.
Does anyone have another suggestion?

Hi, try flashing again with Emma but use a different USB cable i had a similar issue where the flash started then seemed to freeze so tried a different cable and it worked.
Edit: lol seems i missed your post where you tried again with Emma -_- glad you got it sorted though

you need a big kiss from someone thanks a million :good::good::good::good::good::good::good:
This worked for me, albeit after trying the first part (holding VOL+, VOL- & POWER) intermittently for 2 days.
What seemed to get the table/battery to reset was I connected the USB cable to the charger on a wall outlet on the second day. When I plugged in the cable the Red LED came on and stayed there. After an hour it was still red so I removed the cable and tried 1) pressing VOL+ & POWER (about 3 seconds), then 2) VOL- & POWER (about 3 seconds) and after a while the red LED went off.
Then I tried the VOL+, VOL- & POWER and it started blinking white once, then white again after a while, and I was able to continue with the instructions.
Thanks!

[Q] Tablet Z half-bricked or bricked?

Hey all!
After successfully unlocking the bootloader, tried to flash rootedkernel thru adb but something went wrong
and the tablet became ly a paperweight with no lights screen or buttons working.
Let it idle for one night and then charged for a few hours.
Now when I pres power there are three led flashes.
Nothing else apparently happens. Can't get it to flash or fasittboot mode.
It is like this for the last 48 hours. I can only see three continuous red flashes.
When I put it on charge there is continuous red led light.
But now I want the battery to loose all power and to reflash. When connected to PC it is seen as generic USB devicee.
Any ideas? Would be greatful
Have you tried holding volume + and power button, you should see one white flash keep holding and you should see three more flashes. If that worked you may be able to get into flash mode.

Is yours a WiFi only model? If so, you probably flashed a wrong boot.img. (and there's a solution!)

Alright, I got mine working again, so I'm back to help anyone who found themselves asking the same thing that I just asked:
developer (dot) sonymobile (dot) com/services/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/
(I apparently can't post links yet >.>)
THIS is the flash tool! (aka Emma) Following the instructions on this page, I was able to get my tablet working again (though the image that came with this flash tool is for the UK/ireland).
I hope this helps someone else out!

[Q] Xperia P Bricked

Hi,
I own a Xperia p, running honami moonwalker v8. Recently i decided to upgrade to CM11. I flashed the CM11 unofficial ROM from this website nightly 2 i think. I did a clean install (erase everything and clear cache) But when i pressed reboot (on cwm) i got a black screen. When you hold the power button it vibrates but screen doesnt turn on, the led goes red for about 2sec and goes off. i tried holding power button and volume up but same result, vibrates and nothing comes up. Even when I make it vibrate 3 times, no result. Im desperate guys please help me i will appreciate your help greatly. And if this means anything, when i installed zip from sd card, it just said installing, and after a few minutes, said install complete. Is this normal? since it didnt show anything in between. PLEASE HELP I WILL TRY DONATE TO WHOEVER FIXES MY PROBLEM.

1. Open flash tool (don't click anything)
2. Turn the phone off, power + volume up until you feel (1+) 3 vibreations.
3. Press the volume up key while connecting the USB cable, led should lit blue and connected in fastboot should be in the log.
4. Repeat 2, press volume down while connectiong the USB cable for flash mode, check flashtool log
If flash mode stays connected for about 45 seconds you can simply try to flash stock with flash tool.
If fastboot stays connected over 20 seconds you can flash custom stock based kernel and flash moonwalker again, or any other custom rom you have on the phone.
If none works, just leave it turned of, charging for one day then try again.
I've seen more than one report of people that recovered XP by disconnecting the battery, though it didn't work for others.

bricked sony z3v (can only access fastboot)

usually when i mess this phone up i am able to use the companion to flash it back to stock. i tryed to flash magisk and now the light flashes when plugged into a power source and the phone does not turn on at all. if i hold volume up while turning on it boots into fastboot mode because i see the blue light and i was able to use flashtool and its fastboot tools to flash system.sin from stock firmware but that has not made a difference. i have tried to get it into download mode(upgrade mode) by holding volume down but it continues to boot loop. if the device is not plugged into power and i hold volume down and power it boots into recovery and i click both safe mode and factory reset but both turn the device off. any ideas?

You should be able to use flash tool to flash the proper ftf file for your device. That is what you are trying to do right?

So, if you hit the flash button on flashtool, tick the flashmode and after preparing it asks you to power off your phone and plug your USB cable into your computer and then press the volume button "down" while plugging in the USB cable to your phone, It should enter flashmode and start a automated flash. This is not working?

I'm not understanding how it is bootlooping. Your phone should be off (power off) when holding down the volume button and plugging in the USB. Is your phone powering on at this point to bootloop? If so you might have hardware problems Is all I can think of.

the phone started bootlooping after flashing that zip. so that rules out hardware, and when i say boot loop i mean lights flash screen stays dark..im trying to figure out if there's a fancy way to fix this through fastboot
depends on wich ftf was used before and bootloader some of them can enter flashmode just by put on the otg cable
It was running 5.1.1 and it boots into fastboot when I hold volume up, but just lights and virbates when holding down for upgrade mode
Same problem. z3v, accidentally flashed a wrong firmware zip via TWRP.
Now if I push the power button, nothing happens.
A long push causes a short vibration and nothing else.
Yellow rest button does not change anything either.
If I connect it to the PC, the following happens: Red led lights up briefly, phone vibrates, green led lights up briefly; whole sequence cycles after that. Now the only thing I can do from there is hold volume up for a couple of seconds, then the phone enters fastboot mode. Blue led lights up continuously. Flashtool sees the phone in Fastboot mode.
However, where to go from here, I cannot see. Any advise?
I had this problem once. It might be your usb cable try a brand new one that rated for data also not just charging. I was trying to root my phone at work and it wouldnt work and when I got home I tried a different usb cable and it worked.,

Same problem. z3v, accidentally flashed a wrong firmware zip via TWRP.
Now if I push the power button, nothing happens.
A long push causes a short vibration and nothing else.

I am no closer than when I posted this, until there is a bootloader unlock witch in theory can be done through fastboot, we are s.o.l.

aaa,It's very easy.you can use flashtool to flash a new system. but you must be in green light.only it.you also can be flash.sure,if your phone can't get into system,it only loop at"SONY".You touch the power and the volume up and down. keep 7s. then the phone will get into 3E RECOVERY,you chosed power down.and then the phonwill be power off. Now you can flash you phone.
If you phone can't get into green light.you can use the tool Z3X easy tool to save your phone.or it will be a brick.
my phone cant be start.it have became a brick. Good luck
