What if you connect your phone to a wall charger > press and hold power & volume up for 10 seconds > let it charge for 2 or 3 hours

Thanks 

But xperia sp will only connected to pc companion for a few seconds. So I don't have enough time to repair phone/update

[Jake-SonyXperia]

The repair is done with he phone turned off. There is no need to worry that PC Companion does not see the device.

The phone light goes green but turns red after 1 minute so it doesnt have enough time to finish the repair 

[Jake-SonyXperia]

Did you try going through the process or are you still worried that you cant do it based on the LED flashing?

[JMCH]

Yea thanks went through the repair process but could not finish it as phone would disconnet during the process . after that i left the phone alone for a couple of hours. wen i came the screen would turn on but was blank . After trying to turn it on a few times it has went back to flashing red light
