Xperia Mini Pro Won't Update!!!! Phone is dead!!!! Need Help!!!

[#1]

Hello

I tried updating my phone with pc companion and it failed. It only got 50%!!!

Now my phone will not turn on. It won't flash with the service tool or pc companion or the flash tool from XDA!!!

Is my phone faulty? If not what can I do???

Thanks.

update using above software and u dont need ur mobile to be turned on, just press the volume key when u connect the usb cable and this is official update only,but manual .

does the phone charge when you connected to a PC? if it does then Update Service or Flashtool should fix it

Non of the above worked. I have already tried it.

How can I find out if the phone charges if it won't power on?

Thanks.

if you connect the phone to the charger or the computer the LED should turn yellow/orange/green

The light turns green when I plug it in to the usb on the pc, when not in flash mode. When I connect it to the charger, nothing happens.

Thanks.

ok, good news then you can use Flashtool or Update service, what happens when you use Flashtool and it ask you to connect your phone on flashmode? it doesn't detect your phone?

if it doesn't then re-install PCC and SEUS on your computer then run Flashtool again

I have tried flashtool.

It detects the phone, begins the update but fails at certain intervals.

Sometimes it will fail when flashing the kernel.sin file but it never gets past amss.sin.

See my log above.

Thanks for your help so far. But I am thinking the phone is faulty, or the usb cable.

I think it's the USB cable
