Auto recovery not working/soft brick/bootloop- Tried flashtool/ SUS/ Ripping phone apart

Long story short my sister upgraded to iphone so she left her xperia SP untouched for two days, which somehow drained all the battery ( i know it because LED blinked three times when I pressed power button). So I left it to charge for 3 hours using a wall charger & then following happened:

  1. Sony logo came up.
  2. Sony Auto repair mode activated. (Phone was perfectly working earlier).
  3. The Sony rainbow wave kept on coming for hours.
  4. A message popped up ‘Process system is not responding’ with option ‘wait’ & ‘continue’. I chose continue.
  5. Phone was stuck on that screen for half an hour. Then I decided to switch off the pone normally. Power off popup screen came and screen froze on it for hours.
  6. Then the process restarted and it has been the same way no matter what i try.

Solutions that I’ve already tried:

  1. Repairing using Sony PC companion. Progress stay stuck at same point on all three of my PCs and then errors shows up. ( tried on windows 8.2/xp sp3/Windows 7 64bit).
  2. Repairing using Flashtool. Everything gets loaded successfully but no progress has ever taken place. Even left it for a day but my phone’s battery died yet not flashed. Tried it on windows 7 and XP-SP3, with three different ‘*.ftf’. windows 8.1 is still pending.
  3. I installed EMMA. It detects my device pretty well but as it is not rooted nothing further happens.
  4. Installed all drivers prescribed in flashtool successfully. Reinstalled them after reinstalling flashtool and PC companion.
  5. Tried rooting only kernel but didn’t work. It stayed stuck as well.
  6. Updated java.
  7. Took phone apart and pulled the battery ribbon out and repeated step 1-4. Still no success.

Any type of suggestions/help is really appreciated.

Hi,


Sorry to hear that.
If you have tried all the things that you mention, I can only suggest that you visit nearest service center to have your phone examined by a technician. You can contact your local support team for further information about how you can proceed with this in the best possible way:
