I used my C5 with E5563_29.1.B.0.87_1296-9001_R4A firmware for 3 month until yesterday.
I rooted, have recovery installed and everything was just fine.
But It died when flashing E5563_29.1.B.0.101_1296-9001_R4A.ftf.
I used Flashtool 0.9.21.0 x64 and used xperifirm to download firmware
I have been flashed Sony devices for yearss and I didn't noticed anything wrong.
Battery was fine, Flashtool didn't report any errors for all downloading and flashing procedure.
But my C5 just hardbricked.
No flashmode, No fastboot, Charging animation and red led working but that's all.
When connect to PC it is recoginzed as "USB Serial Device (COM4)"
I can't find any possible way to recover hardbricked C5.
It is frustrating.

Yeah, too many people I have read on this forum have bricked their phones. No definite guide to do it properly either at the moment.

You don't need custom recovery for this mod to work, just replace the correct apk file and change the permissions to rw-r--r--

How did u install recovery for c5..
Your phone stuck on flashmode( most mediatek with non removable batts).. Just simply charge it overnight using your wall charger( it won't charge anyway). When you wake up hopefully it's alive again...

I have removed and reconnected battery once So It can't be stuck on flashmode But I have no choice.
So I tried your way.
I have been charging my C5 just after I read your reply and it's charging until now but nothing happens.
It is clear that flashmode isn't the problem
i would like to get your dead phone...
hii, im using this same model mobile since aug,2015.... last month my mobile fall down, when im riding bike, and the phone got heavy damage.....the display is broken...even the panel also got heavy bends.... and the only thing is, my motherboard is in good condition....so, if you are interested to make your mobile useless,.... please donate it for me,....... unless you get a better solution for your mobile to turn on......

No as this flashtool isn't official Sony software although it does download official Sony firmware. Sonys official software is called EMMA and only works on unlocked Bootloader devices
yes they are doing that. Mine is also dead wile upgrading using xperia companion

It clearly states on the flashtool download page and on here on the flashtool page/thread NOT to use flashtool to flash c4+c5 mediatek powered Xperia devices as this will result in a hard brick I.e. You now have a permanent paperweight no idea why it is only those two mediatek Xperias as the xa works fine with flashtool.

5 months ago I bought my Xperia Ray, unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, flashed aire's kernel and rom and everything was good until yesterday. A friend was using it, he was playing fieldrunners and all of a sudden it sort of froze with only the white LED on and the screen off. I tried holding the power button to shut it off with no avail. I then took the battery out then back in to restart it and no response at all. Tried connecting the charger but the LED would not turn on and since then, my ray has been like that. I don't know what to do, flashtool, update service or pc companion can't recognize the phone, but when I plug it in, it appears on the device driver manager as ZEUS flash drive (which I think is normal), but it is just not recognized and the LED doesn't even turn on when charging or connected to the pc. I want to know if it's fixable or not
Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Try full charge ur phone? Maybe is just battry drop or flash it using seus? Fastboot mode working?
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
The thing is I don't know if it's really charging, no LED when I connect it. I already left it charging for a whole day and still nothing... I will try to charge the battery using a different phone. And no fastboot or fastmode at all, no LED to know if it's on either.
Did you overclocked it?if yes you could have burn the cpu
Inviato da me!
Unfortunately I did, to the typical 1.4, I wasn't sure if it was that, because it wasn't even warm when it happened, but that was the one answer I did not want to hear u.u. Is there anything that can be done?

Wait,i'm not totally sure of that,but is possible,however if none of the other method worked i think the last resource is sony service,if you are lucky is possible they give you a new phone without investigate about bootloader,kernel etc...many people have reported that,good luck,and happy new phone!:beer:
Inviato da me!
Well... I unlocked the bootloader the official way :s I don't know if they check the iem before receiving it.

Maybe a OTA Update ?! - When you try to turn it on does the LED flash When yes, try to use Flashtool to unbrick it.
(Unlock BL or something in Flashtool)
I'm sure you burned your CPU. The Same Happens to my Friend - Just a LED Notification and BlackScreen 4ever LOL
....never exagerate with overclock....
Inviato da me!
Yeah, I'm sure it's burned, but no LED at all! Too bad I can't even replace it through the company since I unlocked the bootloader the official way ... Oh and I didn't exaggerate with the OC, it was the regular 1.4 which I assume most rooted ray users use it at... or am I wrong? :s
Do it step by step;
-First uninstall all sony pc companion components.All sony drivers.
-Then download SEUS from this link.http://db.tt/jpD87GkM
-Install and run.After updating the program close.
-Then download pda.net drivers from here:http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php and install.
-Download and install latest flashtool from the topic.
-After all of these you must relock ray because you need to SEUS to unbrick your phone and it requres locked bootloader.
-Download this ftf file and flash this file via flash tool.http://www.mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd .(Your device must be seen after installing pda.net drivers in green flash mode)So your phone is have locked bootloader.
-So every think is ready.Open SEUS than select your ray that is it.For this step:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492805
-You can unlock your phone again if you want than
Thanks, but still flashtool and SEUS do not recognize the phone. With no LED to tell me if it's either on flashboot or flashmode no flashing can be done. Chances are the cpu really is busted
hi all,
I need help and here's my story.
I got Sony Xperia Neo L 3 weeks ago. it was running fine but suddenly it didn't turned up. I showed it to nearby general mobile repairing shop. 3 days later he gave my phone back but it was all chinese. when i turn it on some china unicom and chinese text logo appear before sony and xperia logo, same while turing off and most of the apps are in chinese even i set language to english. I complained him but he told that's all he can do and i have to pay him for this chinese sofware.
Then one of my friend told me that rooting it will solve the problem as he used to root friends tablets and phones so i ask him to help me. First he tried to update my phone through sony update service but chinese software was still there after updating. then he tried to root it and i was watching while he was doing it and there was lots of errors while running runme.bat. so he gave up.
Now my phone is kinda dead. it's not turning on. when i connect it to my pc it says usb device not recognized. only orange light keep blinking same happens while charging in wall socket. i've tried different ports, different pc, charged for whole night but nothing helps. now i couldn't update or root as it's not detected by pc. (there is no any sony service center in my region) i am having big trouble so it would be great help if anybody guide me what to do.
can't repaire because phone is not turning on. haven't rooted. no service center near by. totally sucked.
i am facing the same problem , any solution yet.????

What I got from this is that he had already put in some custom firmware. You should've gone to the Exclusive Service Centre.
You must try updating it using SEUS again or try fishing stock firmware using Flashtool. This should help. Do give a feedback as to what happened next... Here to help!

There's nothing like a good or a comparably better ROM. It's all about personal favourites. There are different ROMs based on different parameters. It's totally your call. Either go for a performance based or a battery based ROM.

I was using XZXperience 2 on my Sony Xperia S, and then sony companion detected that i had firmware 6.1.A.1.45 and 6.1.A.55 was available, so just to give it a try, I installed that update, but that is a failed update, it says unfortunately music player stopped working, or unfortunately xperia keyboard stopped working etc. The main problem is that my system does not recognize my XS anymore, it says USB Device Not Recognized, so I cant connect it to Flashtool or PC Companion for repair. The Sad part is that I cant even connect it in Flash Mode, I tried a hard reset by using power button and volume up buttons, but no use. I should mention that once it recognized my phone when i turned off my laptop and removed its battery too, after restarting both phone and laptop, flashtool detected that phone was connected with USB Debugging OFF, though it was on, but as a try, I unchecked USB Debugging and then checked it again, and it worked. Now my Xperia S was connected in USB debugging mode, I tried to install busybox, rooted it, and tried to install CWM recovery,flashtool said that busy box was installed and phone was rooted, but it could not install recovery and I used another tool to install recovery,which had a bat file and it installs recovery automatically. But it didnt. After restarting my phone, the same issue appeared again, My PC does not recognize my Xperia S, tried previous procedure several times, but no use. Cant even repair it as my set cant go in flash mode. What can I do? have I bricked my Xperia S? I`m in Pakistan and there is no official Sony Mobile franchise as they dont launch their flagships in Pakistan. Please help me, considering I`m used to with rooting,flashing etc. How can I connect my phone in flash mode? Thank you.
Thanx

It looks like another strike from the productors. They usually send you malicious updates which cause your device to stop working. This only happens to rooted phones which run custom roms. And since the rooted users only flash their roms in zip format, sending an OTA update patch(designed for stock rom) to a custom rom can only lead to a malfunction. I am not sure whether or not sony did that on purpose, but the truth is that after installing a custom rom NEVER do OTA updates(unless they are from the rom's developer).
If you want an update check your rom's thread and there may be new flashable versions.
As for making your device work, the only thing you can do is to call technical support or go to a phone service(in my country they are called gsm services, and they fix mostly everything, both hardware and software. Some even claim to be able to fix water damage) but given that your warranty is voided, you will have to pay for the reparations. I guess they will only do a re-soft(delete everything, and install the stock version, you may lose your root, i am not sure here.)
I hope this helps, this is how we fix things like this in our country, so it will work in your case too, hopefully.

Thanx for your advice. I was almost hopeless, but after spending continous 16 hours, I`m now able to get a solution. I got another data cable, removed battery of my laptop, and made a hard reset to my phone, and after 10-15 min I tried again, and Thanx GOD, it detected my phone, so I hurriedly start repair my phone option and connected my phone in flash mode which was successful and that was not less than a miracle, because i`ve been repeating same procedure and it was not working, this time luckily it worked, now i`m using stock rom with firmware 6.1.A.2.55. Now I would either wait for official Sony JB Update or I would flash a custom ROM XZXperience 2, which I found awsome, as it had no bugs, and it improved battery and sound quality was significantly imrpove + Bravia Engine 2 with improved graphics. I would ask users to not to give up hope, there is always a solution to every problem.

Get a new data cable, fortunately almost all phone now a days have same data cable, u can try data cable of some HTC, Samsung, Blackberry or even Iphone`s data cable. Secondly, u must turn off your PC, and remove its power source, if it is laptop then also remove its battery. Then after 5-10 minutes, turn on your PC and connect the phone. Also try installing drivers, which u can by using PC Companion. You can also install drivers by using FlashTool. Download it and extract it, then go to the installation folder and look for folder "Drivers" open it and u will see an exe file. Just run it and select Xperia S and follow the instructions.
maybe not new usb cable sometimes usb port is broken
Hey, I had the same problem a few time ago, you can try to restore with flashtool, if you can still get in to flash mode

There's nothing strange: you are using a custom kernel and you have locked bootloader

There's nothing strange: you are using a custom kernel and you have locked bootloader

Since you CAN'T use custom kernels with locked bootloader (and so, no cm10)
You only need to flash stock rom and then relocking your bootloader

I am also having the same problem
I have sony Xperia S. I updated to the latest stock firmware version(6.2.B.1.96). after this update I rooted my phone using old kernel .200 and update the firmware's kernel again to stock after that I locked the boot loader again. Now I can't use memory stick that I used to use before with OTG cable. And now, if I am trying to enter flash mode by pressing volume down key, the led turn green for a while only about 10 sec while this was happening, my pc say that USB device not recognized. So, now I can't use flashtool or sony update service tool(SUS) as well.
Now I am using stock .96 rom with no error but I want to install CWM and also want to unlock boot loader again to test some custom roms.
Pls help me what I have to do and what should. I am now in Delhi.

To unlock the bootloader you need to enter fastboot (blue led) with vol+ during the boot, not vol-
Or you can also reboot the phone from adb with
adb reboot bootloader
If phone still doesn't stick to fastboot, it has to be a driver problem
There are lots of guide on the procedure (which is really hard on windows 8)

Yes I use windows 8.1
now. I can't use memory stick with OTG cable but I can only use mouse or keyboard with OTG cable. I don't know why?
I can access fastboot mode but I can't access flash mode. pc said that device not recognized. so, I think it is device error.

I dont really understand what you did
But my advice is: unlock your BL and enjoy the magic of aosp ROMs (magic included inside doomkernel for stock sony is fine too)

Bricked my phone - please help!
Hi,
I think I bricked my Xperia S. I already had cyanogen 10 on my phone, so I thought I could just flash the new Cyanogen 11 4.4.2 ROM and GAPPS over top. I followed the instructions but I skipped the Fastboot step. I cleared the cache and system and then went ahead with the ROM and GAPPS. Once the ROM and GAPPS were installed, I selected "Reboot" and the phone turned off and now it won't boot at all. If I hold the power button, I get a faint vibration and if I hold the up volume and power I get the 3 vibration sequence but no boot. Please help!
This is what I was using:

First of all I apologize and I had to use google translator
what happens is that yesterday was installing a generic firmware to my c5 ultra, then came a moment when I got an error like this:
18/032/2016 17:32:55 - INFO - Processing boot.sin
18/032/2016 17:32:55 - ERROR - Processing of boot.sin finished with errors.
18/032/2016 17:32:55 - INFO - Ending flash session
disconnect my phone and now will not start , press the volume + and power and nothing happens , try to get him into Flashmode with volume- and as usual nothing happened , only LED lights red , it all does nothing more, also my PC does not recognize ... I can do :crying:
I got the same error and got bricked my c5, also if you see the forum there are many pals having this issue.
Only solution we have is to send the phone to sony service

yup. there are 3 ways to solve the problem,
1st you have to send it to service.
2nd if your bootloader is locked, you can repair your phone via pc companion.
3rd you have to take off the back cover (which results warranty void,) and find the service test point, connect it to pc via testpoint opened and use s1tools to flash new boot.img.
my phone was the same as your but tried rom port. corrupted boot file. it acted same as yours. tried everything BUT if its bl was locked, i could be able to repair with pc companion but my bl was unlocked so there were 2 options for me, i dont know where tp is so i sent it to service. its been 18 working days and 12 working days to left to retrieve my phone
you can try pc companion or tp point but i warn you. if you cant find test point, your warranty will be void. you shouldnt risk it and give it to service. and you should act like i did. just role play like you dont understand about phone. i acted like that and they said it will be done for free

try s1tools if it doesnt recognize again, download wmshua and let it install driver, then try again. if it doesnt recognize again, send it to service

Please help me guys as it is not being recognized by PC again self( i dont know whether this is caused because the battery is dead). PLEASE HELP ME GUYS.
