Start up stuck on Sony logo. - Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers

Hope I've posted this in the right place. I have a strange error with my phone, when I try and turn it on the screen doesn't appear to be on but under some lights you can see the Sony logo. It's stuck like this I've tried using the Xperia companion software to repair the software but it's had no effect. The phone also isn't recognised by my computer or the companion software. It's just out of warranty, so any advice would be most welcome

Hi, try to totally power off your phone (hold vol+ and power for around 8 seconds). Use last Flashtool v0.9.23.2, don't plug the phone, launch the flash (exclude misc TA partitions) and when it ask to plug the phone, hold volume down and plug it. I hope it will recover your phone

had the same issue of not being able to connect my phone to pc to repair with seus. thanks loads the "press both midle and right button at the same time and press the power button" trick!!!
I tried your solution but seus just tell me my mini it's up-to-date and there's no more the button for installing anyway android.
The phone just reboots over and over
I seem to have a slightly different problem. I tried the process and right after it said that the phone is connected, the green light on the phone goes out and it looses connection to the phone and prompts me to reconnect. My phone is stuck on the sony ericsson logo, will not shut off and will not boot, can not be detected by the computer. I think I have little more than a very expensive hockey puck.

Hi,
Here is my problem.
I have Xperia x10 mini/ yesterday , but mistake, I installed the firmware of the X10 mini PRO !!!
Now, once I understood the mistake, I want to flash with x10 mini firmware.
In order to flash I need to have FLASHTOOLS and need to press the BACK button - the problem is that since the phone is using now the wrong firmware, the BACK button (needed for the flushing ) doesn’t do anything and thus, I cannot install the correct firmware. I tried pushing all other buttons without any luck.
Any idea how I can overcome this problem ? I can’t use my phone now.

The flashmode is initialized before any firmware is loaded, so that isn't your problem
It should always work when your phone is turned off, you press the back-button and attach it to your usb-cable, it should enter flashmode.
If you can't turn it off, connect your phone to your pc, press home and power together till the screen goes black, and then press the back-button.
Well,
I managed to turn the phone off ( using the home+power button), then release the two of them, pressing the BACK button and connecting the USB cable .
nothing hapenns till i release the BACK button and then the phone starts to load with the previous problem.
before installing the the wrong firmware, using the BACK button was OK.
any idea?
update
I managed to hold together the HOME+BACK button and then pushed the POWER button and flashed the E10i 2.1.1 A.0.6 firmware!!!!
while doing it, i noticed for a meesage that the phone is not rooted.
upon finishing the flashing, the phone doesnt boot up, i managed to see the green light and thats all.
i also downloaded the S1 tool in order to root the phone but it says that it can not detect the phone....
what should i do now?
---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------
update #2
phone doesnt boot up.
when i connect the flashtool i get the message "Device connected in flash mode".
how to continue from that point ?

Help!

My Xperia Neo V does not turn on, just shows Sony Ericsson and is always doing a loop trying to start.
I've tried hard reset in 3 ways:
Volume Up + Power
Volume Down + Power
Back + Menu + Power
None of them worked.
I've tried using the PC Companion software to update, but nothing done with phone turned off.
I've tried installing a new kernel, but the phone is not recognized.
I do not know what I can do.
Is there any way to access the system folders in the internal memory via PC without turning the phone on?
Does anyone have an idea?

http://www.multiupload.com/Q103V01CV1
Follow instructions (if u familiar with updating with sony ericsson pc companion, this u can do)
Turn of phone, do not connect get.
Simple, start FlashTool_0.2.9.1_FOTAUnbrick, click flash. Choose loader.sin on the right. Then click OK,
Hold in back button while Now connect phone with usb cable.
See its flashing, wait till it's done, unplug phone,. try to boot up phone.
Hope it helps. Helped me when i play to much with phone and brick it.
Thanks for the help, but I have my bootloader locked.
Instead I used SEUS and managed to reinstall the software.
Now I have to root again, but at lest the phone is back

Great Main thing u back on track!
Tip: bootloader do not need to be unlocked to use that tool.
I used it to fix bricked, before i unlocked mine.
But i'll guess it has to be rooted
Have a great weekend!

The main reason for me not to unlock bootloader is to keep warranty.
Now that I have my phone back, sure it is going to be a great weekend

have you tried the fastboot method, it´s in android development, "all you need to know..."
try to flash official stock fw like .452 or .45 with flashtool..try to connect the phone in flashmode....hopefully everything will be alright...
PEACE
guys, phone is not able to boot in any mode, it be fastboot or flashmode! its completely dead thats what i meant earlier. After a lot of researching the whole night, i was able to figure out that the bootloader is that the UNIFLASH corrupted the bootloader. So how to fix that?
try this: make sure you have enough charge and the drivers of your phone are installed correctly. (flashtool drivers)
power+volume up wait till vibrates three times,
then connect your phone to pc.
run the flashtool and prepare the firmwares youre going to flash,
a screen will appear and says turn off your phone....etc
hold power button + volume up wait till vibrates three times
then quickly hold power button + volume down.
it will flash the firmware.
just keep on trying.

its simply not vibrating! i held that combination for like 5 minutes continuous last night, phone has to enter either fastboot or flashmode for flashtool to detect! none of them is coming up, and no LED again when its on charging. complete dead complete mess!
By the way, anyone knows how service center people update the phone's software?

would you please enplane what is JTAG and how it works ?
Had the same problem yesterday!
Maybe a noob advice but here what was my mistake: after switch off the phone with volume up, wait for like 30 second before trying to connect in flash mode. Though my phone was dead but just had to wait a little bit before trying the flash mode. Flashtool heal it!
Sorry for my poor english, I'm french and this is my first post, but I follow xda since a long time!

Is the blue led still on, or is it just stuck in boot loop, or both?
Try to turn it off, long press power | volume up button untill you feel 3 consecutive vibrations.

You have to install the drivers first in order to get your phone recognized. Try pressing Vol Up + Power to shut down the phone. Hold it for 10 seconds and then enter fastboot mode and flash using flashtool.

Just flash official ftf back with vol down. No need to press power button when you're booting to flash mode or fastboot mode. Just press vol + (fastboot) or vol - (flash) and plug in USB.

Flashing the formware does not require unlocking the phoen.
Which lock is it SIM or bootloader?

First shut it down, press power + volume down until you feel 3 vibrations (about 10 seconds)m if not take out the battery for a minute.
Download flashtool install and open it and connect in flash mode. It's wither volume down and connecting to pc or colume down, I am not sure about XU. If it shows it's connecting in flash mode and stay in this mode for about 45 seconds you can repair with PC Companion or flash with SUS
