Xperia Ion l28h bricked :(

Sirdark — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 23:16:13 GMT

Hello All devs

I was trying to flash a custom kernel from XDAdevs and it bricked the phone.

It does not turn on, this is what it is doing and what i have tried.

phone light indicator goes red when i connect it to a charger or computer, after a moment Sony logo appears for few seconds then it restarts quickly and shows sony again it does that like 6 or 7 times then it stays in a Blank black screen and stays there...

I am not able to get it in fastboot or flashmode, i cannot turn the cellphone on, or do a soft reset.

When i press power +vol up it does not do anything i tried also power+vol up as well for 1 minute.

Does anyone have a software to fix this phone? it was only about 2 weeks old. it was bootloader unlocked.

Please if anyone can help let me know, i have tried everything

try this

connect your phone to the wall charger > press and hold power & volume up for 8 seconds > let it charge for 1hr > after 1hr repair it with SUS or PCC

btw did you unlocked the bootloader?

is Sony spying on users in this forum?

Yes the bootloader is unlocked, i tried SEUS but it never recognizes the phone

Flashtool recognizes the phone when it starts the bootlooping

this is what it shows

29/037/2012 16:37:56 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

29/037/2012 16:37:56 - INFO - For 2011 devices line, be sure you are not in MTP mode

29/038/2012 16:38:01 - INFO - Device disconnected

29/038/2012 16:38:07 - INFO - Device connected with USB debugging off

29/038/2012 16:38:13 - INFO - Device disconnected

While it does the boot loop i tried pressing vol down or vol up button to see if i get the fastboot or flashmode option but it does not do that

i know that warranty was lost because of unlocking bootloader but if i cannot fix the phone is there a way to send it to sony and pay for its fix?

I got this phone from Ebay about 2 weeks ago brand new unlocked

you are probably missing the drivers on your PC

install SUS > restart your PC > run SUS then try again with flashtool

Thanks man, i was able to fix it

What i had to do is after the bootlooping i had to press power +vol up as you said until first vibration

after that i had to be very quickly, i had to connect phone to the computer and press vol up or vol down depending if i wanted fastboot or flashmode.

The trick was to do that very fast, if you are one second late you will got get it.

Thanks all for all your support! it was a guy having same issue in XDA he told me exactly what he did and it worked.
